“Brat, just who are you? I’m speaking to my classmate, it’s not your place to butt in!”That middle-aged lady was annoyed.However, she quickly sneered and exclaimed condescendingly, “Oh my, Selena, you found this guy to be your man? Not only is he poor, but he also seems rather uncultured. The way he speaks is just so vulgar and lowly, as though he’s entitled because of his poverty. I’m amazed!”“Hehe, who told you I’m poor?”Fane chuckled, then took out an ATM card and passed it to the kindergarten principal’s assistant who was in charge of fees. “Pretty lady, we’ll pay by card. No password is needed!”“Tsk...tsk... you’ve managed to borrow a hundred and twenty thousand bucks that quickly? It must’ve been hard! I’m sure you’ve burnt through all your options to get it!” Rachel sneered once again.“It’s just a measly hundred and twenty thousand bucks. Why would I need to borrow?”Fane was at a loss. She was just too condescending.“Sob! Sob!”Right then, that middle-aged woman’s son st
Kylie cried as she explained.Selena patted Kylie on the head. “Good girl, don’t cry, don’t cry!”After comforting Kylie, Selena stood up and her face turned icy cold in an instant. “Rachel Linsay, you’re going too far! Your son fell on his own and you blame my daughter? Moreover, Kylie is not a b*stard child. She has a father!”“She’s a b*stard child. Definitely a b*stard child. Mommy said so. A child without a father is a b*stard child!”“Her father died in the war. If she’s not a b*stard child, then what is she?”Rachel’s son felt unconvinced and started shouting.“Who said she has no father? He’s her father. He’s back from the war.”It was the first time Fane witnessed Selena losing her temper like that. Her daughter was her entire world. She could tolerate small fights between kids, but when the other party was an adult that shoved Kylie unreasonably, that was something she could not tolerate.“Who knows if your daughter might be lying? Moreover, how would I know that he’s your da
“Ah!”Dylan made a disgusting shriek as he felt his bones almost shattered. That excruciating pain caused the veins on his forehead to bulge and his eyes widen.“Son of a b*tch! Do you know who I am? I’m a factory manager with over a thousand people under me. You dare attack me?” He bellowed at Fane through gritted teeth.“Dear parents, please don’t fight. We can talk this over peacefully!”The kindergarten teachers and principal were all in shock. They did not expect a fight on registration day.“Factory manager? Hehe, I don’t care what manager you are, that doesn’t let you bully my daughter and wife. Otherwise, I’ll make sure your factory closes down with a phone call!”Fane chuckled, then shoved him aside with a push.Dylan, who seemed bulky, was actually rather weak. Fane did not use much strength, but he ended up falling over on the ground, landing on his back.“Ouch!”Dylan exclaimed. He then climbed back on his feet with great difficulty and massaged his buttocks.“Y-y-you usele
“Hehe, I dare, but why should I wait for you to bring people over to be beaten up by me?”Fane chuckled and replied bluntly.“Bullsh*t. You’re just scared and trying to escape. If you really dare, why are you trying to leave?”Dylan was unconvinced, blocking the door with his hands.“You think I want to leave? It’s because my wife is asking me to go. It’s difficult for me to find time to accompany my wife and daughter for shopping. How can I waste my time on some inconsequential matters like you?”Fane shrugged, dismissive of the chubby person in front of him.However, right at that moment, several vans drove by and pulled over in front of the kindergarten gates.Upon seeing the arrival of his men, Dylan’s expression turned into one of joy. “Haha, brat, it’s too late for you to go now. My men are already here!”“Fantastic!”Rachel saw that and immediately ran over, standing beside her man and said, “Brat, you wanted me to apologize? Ptooi! If not because I’m afraid of you earlier, I’ll
“It can’t be. Your mother doesn’t seem like one who would kill herself out of anger!”Fane smiled bitterly. Although he did not understand Fiona in the past, he had roughly figured her out over the past few days. Fiona loved money. She loved it very, very much.How could a person like that try to kill herself out of anger?Selena was panicking as well. “Honey, what should we do? 3.8 million bucks! My parents placed them in a big bag and were ready to deposit them in the bank. Unexpectedly, right at the door of the bank, they were robbed by two robbers on a bike!Upon hearing that, Fane gasped deeply. 3.8 million bucks was a huge sum, yet it was taken away just like that.If it were anything else, Fiona might not have been suicidal. However, with that amount, it was very possible for someone that loved money as her own life like Fiona.“It was quite tough for us to acquire that money. My mother was even thinking of finding time to look for a house. Who knew that in front of the bank, th
Fishing a cigarette from his pocket, Fane started smoking. It was still the cheapest White-Sand cigarette, the same familiar flavor.After taking a deep breath, Fane finally responded, “So it means that Xena is good at deception. She dresses simply in front of your brother and seems very innocent, yet she hangs out with some good-for-nothings in secret? Moreover, your brother is deeply in love with her. You’re not telling your brother because you know he won’t believe you even if you told him?”Selena nodded. “That’s how things are. With my brother’s personality, if you were to tell him, he might even lose his temper. I’ve tried hinting to him a few times, telling him that Xena is not marriage material and urged him to reconsider! In the end, he didn’t come home for a few days straight, spending all that time at the internet cafe with Xena!”At that point, Selena looked to Fane once more. “Moreover, my brother needs money to pay the internet cafe and would always ask me or your mother.
“You said it. You said it yourself. I don’t care. If you can’t recover the money, you’ll have to give me 3.8 million!” Upon hearing Fane’s response, Fiona immediately stood up and grabbed onto Fane’s collars and made unreasonable demands.“Ma, it’s not Fane that took your money. How can you be like this? He can at most help you look for it and see if he can recover it. Even if he fails to recover the money, you can’t demand the money from him, right?”Selena was speechless. Her own mother was being too unreasonable to expect Fane to take responsibility for this matter.“I don’t care. He’s the one that claims to recover the money for sure!”Fiona did not let Fane go.“Sure, sure. If I can’t find it, you can take it from me!”Fane was speechless as he moved her hands out of the way. “Mother, don’t you worry. You’re Selena’s mother, that makes you my mother. I won’t let your money be taken away from you just like that!”“That’s better!”Fiona finally stopped crying and went back to smilin
“Yay, wonderful! I’ve never been to the amusement park!”Kylie was extremely excited.“Kylie, if you give daddy a kiss, I’ll even bring you to the zoo after going to the amusement park. How about that?”Fane rubbed Kylie’s round little head.“Yes! Yes! We can go to the zoo as well. I’ve never been to the zoo!”Kylie got even more excited as she gave Fane a light kiss on his cheek.Fane felt his heart tremble for a moment. That was his own daughter kissing him like that for the first time. It was the feeling that only fathers could experience.It has been five years. From the moment Kylie was born, she had always lacked fatherly love. He could only try his best to make up for it to the mother-daughter duo.“Are we really going?”The scene before Selena had similarly made her heart tremble. She suddenly felt as though in a trance. Fane might like to boast, but he was indeed a good father, and also an excellent husband.In fact, being by his side gave her a feeling of security. That feeli
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.
