“I…was seeing another woman?” Fane was stunned. He forced a smile and said, “Mom, there might be a misunderstanding here. I’ve only been back for a few days, how could I find time to see other women? Moreover, Selena’s great to me so how is it possible for me to see anyone else?” “Misunderstanding? Haha, how could it be a misunderstanding? I’ve got the photos!” Xena crossed her arms in front of her chest, her gaze at Fane was filled with disgust. “If you were a billionaire, it would make you seem capable when you see other women. However, you’re so broke and yet you still did this? How could you face Sister after this?” “Photos? What photos?” Selena scrunched her brows together and asked. “Mom, show it to Sister. Otherwise, she might still be kept in the dark about it. She would not know what kind of disgusting things Fane has done behind her back!” As Ben glared angrily at Fane, he continued, “Fane, you’re such an *sshole. Our family suffered for five years because of yo
After hearing what Fiona had to say, Fane came to a realization. It was bastard Michael Wilson; he left the auction, came to see Fiona, and made things up about Fane. Selena took a good look at the photo with a frown. She seemed a little displeased. After all, although she had never worn any watch that was too expensive, she still recognized a few prominent brands. The woman’s watch was worth over a million bucks; on top of that, her earrings seemed expensive as well. “Were you really not working at the Drake family’s house today?” Selena was staring right at Fane. She was in disbelief; if Fane did lie to her, she would lose everything. After that fateful night back then, she decided to keep the baby through gritted teeth as she did not want to give it up. As for Fane, she had not been close to him; she did not know much about this man at all. She did regret what happened on her wedding night. She did contemplate aborting her baby. However, she could not bring herself
Fiona said angrily, “Young Master Wilson mentioned that this woman is probably dating a mega-billionaire but was afraid of being recognized by her own man. She might be afraid of people finding out she has a sugar baby, so she wore the mask and covered herself like that.” “Yes yes yes, if she wasn’t feeling guilty, why would she wear a mask? It’s obvious that you’re both hiding something!” Xena added. “Who is she?” Selena stared right at Fane. After all, the woman was rich and sexy; Selena was a little worried about that. “A friend of mine!” Fane smiled and said, “She wanted to go to the auction, and she asked me to accompany her, so I did.” “A friend, what friend?” Fiona asked, “Since when do you have such a rich friend? If you have so many rich friends, you wouldn’t have become a live-in son-in-law for the Taylor family five years ago just to get a million bucks for your mother’s medical bill! Why didn’t you ask for the money from her back then?” Fane laughed upon hea
“Haha, you’re getting better and better at lying. You actually made it sound so real that I nearly believed you!” Fiona quickly sneered again. “Fane, you’re too disappointing!” Andrew shook his head defeatedly and gave Fane a disappointing look. “I realized that ever since you came back from the army, you like exaggerating things. You’re acting as if you’re somebody after being a soldier for a mere few years, and easily agreed to whip out thirty million bucks at the old master’s seventieth birthday celebration. You’ve also been fighting with everyone, now that you finally have a job, it turns out to be fake. You didn’t go to work at all, you went to become a rich woman’s sugar baby!” Andrew paused at this moment before continuing, “I just didn’t expect you to claim that the Goddess of War is your friend just to cover your tracks. Haha, why don’t you say that all nine of them are your friends?” Fane felt awkward. Thankfully, he did not mention that all nine of the Gods of War
Fane looked at Ben and said coldly, “It was a matter of principles.” "How dare you Fane Woods, you surely are a bold one. How dare you beat up my son, I'll kill you!"Fueled with anger, Fiona rushed forward.After all, she was his mother-in-law. Fane dared not fight back. He could only dodge."What, what's the matter? Fiona, what's wrong?"At that moment, Joan, who was out to buy groceries with her maids, Kylie and Jenny, came back. Seeing Fiona chasing after Fane, she immediately stepped forward to advise them.Fiona did not manage to hit him but was worn out instead. She panted hard as she held onto her waist. Then, she said, "Blame your dear son. He hit my son!""Mum, be careful with what you say! Ben was the one who started it. Fane didn't even hit him; he just pulled him slightly because he lost his balance."Selena argued back. Then, she spoke to Fane again, "Fane, I'll ask you one last time. You have to tell me the truth. Is that woman really Lana, the Goddess of War
Selena did not believe Fane. He had no choice but to only sigh.However, he believed that Selena would find out sooner or later that he was not lying."Hurry up and leave. You'll get us into trouble if the people from the Hugo family come looking for you!"Andrew sighed. He felt pity as Fane did not look like someone who would boast. However, his words were not convincing enough.“Alright!"Fane heaved another sigh and looked at Andrew again, "Father, your legs should be feeling better now? Don't worry, whether they accept me or not, I will come here every morning to treat you. Your legs should be fully recovered in two to three days!""Fane, don't expect us to appreciate you just because you treated father's leg.""You're also part of the reason why my father's leg is hurt. Treating him is your obligation. You should make up for what you did, is that clear?"Andrew was excited when he heard what Fane said, "Really? I hope it will recover. My legs are really getting better! I can feel
Seeing Neil walking toward them with all his men, Selena could not help but to worry for Fane.She was very angry at Fane for going to the auction with another woman and lying to her, saying that the woman was the Goddess of War.Despite that, the two of them still had feelings for each other after all the time they spent together. Now that Fane was in danger, she realized she was very worried about Fane.What if Fane dies? Does that mean Kylie would lose her father?"Come on, sister. Let's get into the house!"Ben stepped forward as well. A few of them dragged Selena into the house.Jenny carried Kylie as she followed them into the house."Master Hugo, Fane was the one responsible for what happened this morning. It has nothing to do with our family!"Fiona immediately shouted at Roy and his men who were in the yard after retreating into the house. She was afraid the people would beat her up or kill her."Mum, Fane's mother. Is she still outside? Ask her to come in!"Selena was worried
”What? Am I seeing things? Young Master Hugo is kneeling down to Fane?”Fiona rubbed her eyes and wondered if she was hallucinating.“He brought so many people over but it wasn’t because he wanted to fight Fane? Fane slapped his son, which meant he was mocking the Hugo family! Surprisingly, Roy wanted his son to kneel down before Fane and apologize to him?”Xena was surprised as well. What was happening? Did the people from the Hugo family turned crazy?”“This…”Andrew was confused too.Fane was slightly stunned after listening to his words. Then, he said to Neil, “Get up. You haven’t touched my bottom line today. Otherwise, I would’ve killed you!”Fiona and the rest felt ashamed after seeing him so domineering. Was he really merely an ordinary veteran? Why wasn’t he afraid of the Hugo family?It was as though he could declare a person’s life and death. It was as though he was the dictator!Staring at his figure, Selena was in a state of trance. Did Fane really know the Goddess of War
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.
