The corners of Timothy’s lips twitched repeatedly. Initially, he had assumed he would be able to win the bid at 320 million bucks. However, he did not expect…As the price climbed up to around 400 million, it did not matter if they were Robert, Grayson, Sharon, or anyone else for that matter, they all sat down immediately and dared not make another bid because the price tag was now just too extravagant. Although they all wanted it, they were stopped in their tracks.“500 milion!”Once again however, Fane cracked a calm smile as he stood up and said, “My friend next to me said 500 million!”Even the old man on the stage was incredibly excited. They were paid by commissions and a price like this was something even he had not expected.This time, even Timothy dared not raised the price further as he sat there alone, frowning depressingly.“500 million, going once! If no one else is adding then this pearl will go to that beautiful woman’s hands!”“500 million, going twice!”The old
Neil’s eyes lit up as he heard that. He cracked a sinister grin on the edge of his lips as he said, “You sly fox. You’ve finally gained some intelligence! That pearl is worth 500 million so if we can snatch it, we’ll make a huge profit!”“Heheh, that’s right!”The bodyguard chuckled as they both strode out.When outside, they saw more than a handful of men standing at the plaza’s corner. One of the men was dressed poorly and seemed very disheveled. Some of them wore sleeveless shirts, the exposed muscles on their arms looking very intimidating. “Young Master Neil’s lackey said our main target this time is a young man. He said that although he might seem very young on the surface, he’s actually really powerful. If not, we wouldn’t have gathered so many men here!”“Don’t be careless later. They might be getting out soon.”“Don’t worry, we have numbers on our side and our target is only one man. He might actually piss himself out of fear from how many people are out to get him. Not
Michael was having a private conversation with Ken nearby and it did not take them long to notice the group of people.“Yeah, they were swarmed immediately after exiting. Judging from the look of things, someone hired them privately. Oh boy, Fane and that woman better be ready for a world of trouble real soon!”Michael nodded as he made his speculations.“Heheh, they might be after that luminous pearl!”Ken chuckled and looked at Robert nearby as he said, “Could it be Robert’s doing? He was quite aggressive during the auction earlier.”“Aside from him, it’s also possible that it might be Timothy’s doing. I have a feeling that Timothy isn’t someone who likes to be crossed!”Michael looked at Timothy from the side.At that moment, it did not matter who they were as everyone was interested to see what would happen after noticing the situation happening nearby. They would all not be leaving for now.“Hey girl, you ain't too bad and that body sure is something!”The bald man’s face
“Good lord! That bald man happens to be black belt taekwondo master and a 6th dan even!”“Yeah! That’s pretty impressive!”Two wealthy merchants exclaimed immediately as they witnessed the scene.“Thud!”Unfortunately at the very next second, everyone was completely baffled as they all saw Lana release his wrist and immediately clench her fist, instantly connecting it with the man’s thigh.A strong wave of force instantly sent the bald man flying as he landed on the ground two meters away.The bald man cried out in agony again when he crashed on the ground.“So, it seems like a 6th dan black belt is nothing more than this!”Lana chuckled, extremely dissatisfied.“That woman is actually this powerful?”They were all shocked once again when as they watched what happened.“F*ck it, let’s all go after them!”The bald man gritted his teeth and when he picked himself off the ground, he realized that the skin on his palms was all scraped off. He felt extremely humiliated as he was
Lana chuckled coldly and said, “I refuse to believe such a coincidence. We had just come out and somehow, you guys just so happen to appear here? Not to mention, if you were just passing through, why’d you bring along a crowd with you?”“We were originally planning to pick a fight with someone else, hence the crowd. However when we were passing through here, we noticed your huge breasts and perky butt. I could not hold myself back from toying with you both. Is that alright?”The bald man continued.Nearby, when Neil and his bodyguard heard that excuse, they let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately that bald man was smart enough to spin an excuse and not rat them out.“Ah!”At the very next second however, Lana immediately stomped on the back of the man’s hand. She spoke in a terrifyingly deep voice. “Have I not been letting you come clean? I refuse to believe in coincidences! Heheh, it’s a good thing that you guys appeared after the auction was over!”“I-I’m telling you the truth!”
“Truly unexpected. It was actually Young Master Neil’s doing!”On another side, Ken frowned and said, “Why did Neil do that?”“I’ve never heard of Neil having a grudge against Fane before and he didn’t pursue Selena as well, right?”“From the look of things, that brat is most likely after the luminous pearl! He doesn’t wish to spend money on it so he had someone else rob it for him! I didn’t expect that woman to be so powerful!”Michael began to speculate. None of them were fools and it was obviously Neil’s doing when the bald man pointed directly at them instead of anyone else.“It’s unclear what exactly Neil was thinking of to take such a risk when her identity is still a mystery!”On the other hand, Grayson chuckled coldly.Sharon was completely star-struck as she only stared at Fane.She could no longer hold herself back as she walked up with a few people beside her and asked Fane, “Hey handsome, you’re Fane, right? Can I add you on WeChat?”Fane felt awkward as he replied
However, Fane moved his body slightly to the side, easily avoiding the assault before giving him a swift kick that instantly connected with the man’s chest.“Thud!”The man coughed out blood as his body shot up several meters from the ground before smacking back down against the ground. He felt a sharp pain radiate from every inch of his body, it was as if every bone in his body was about to break.“Really, it really wasn’t me!”How could Neil even dare admit it was himself. If he did, would that not mean he was admitting to being a vile and petty person?If word got out about him hiring some thugs to snatch the item away after losing the auction, it would put the Hugo family’s reputation into the dirt without a doubt.“So, you lack the courage to admit something you’re bold enough to do? What kind of man are you?”Fane gave another back-handed slap across the man’s face.This time, Fane put more force into it, so it did not take long for the man’s face to swell up.“You, if y
“Good lord! That’s too outrageous!”When Ivan returned home that night, he excitedly said, “Grandpa, father, I heard very shocking news this noon!”“What news?” Old Master Taylor, who rarely ventured outside his home, asked curiously.“I heard a veteran slapped Young Master Neil a few times repeatedly until his face was swollen. It’s far too insane!”“Bloody hell, they’re not sure who that veteran was though? Man, the huge amount of guts he has! The Hugo family happens to be a second-class aristocratic family so wouldn’t he be disrespecting the Hugo family for slapping Neil’s face?”While Ivan poured himself a glass of red wine, he spoke in a very ecstatic tone, “It’s my first time hearing of such a masculine man. He’s truly my idol!”“A mere veteran was bold enough to slap Neil’s face and disrespect the Hugo family?”Theodore was a little unconvinced. He said, “Is your information reliable?”“Should be, I heard it from a construction merchant. He said that man was extremely po
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
