“OMG, he’s hiring him as the arena champion!” some people exclaimed as they finally understood what was happening.“It’s dangerous to be the arena champion. Encountering an expert would be as good as death. Even if the opponent were gracious enough not to kill, he would most likely be disabled!” said another bystander.“However, the arena champion is a profitable position. The pay is not tallied per month but per match instead. Only when someone registers for the challenge will there be a match!” others chimed in.“What a lucky guy. He got his bill waived, gained three million bucks, and most importantly, he found a job!”Matt was speechless. At first he hoped for Fane to take the challenge and get killed by O’Neal just so that he could add to Selena’s suffering.He had not expected this to be the outcome!“I’m sorry but I’m not interested!”“Moreover, I advise you to stop these activities, otherwise...your bar might be closed down!” Fane reminded him with a shrug.“Haha, brother, you
“Benefactor, why are you here? I’ve really misunderstood your intentions at the zoo this morning. I thought you weren’t a doctor and therefore, didn’t know how to treat my son. Surprisingly, my son’s leg is all better now as he’s able to run and jump!”Mrs. Roy brought her son to Fane, then urged her son, “Go say thank you to this uncle. If not for him, you’d be dead!”“Thank you uncle, you’re so amazing! I want to be as strong as you are in the future!”“Thank you for chasing the tigers away or I’d be dead!”Little Jake looked at Fane, his eyes filled with admiration and respect.“What?!”Keaton took a deep breath, then asked anxiously, “Honey, i-i-is he the benefactor who held down two Siberian tigers with each of his hands that you told me about?”Keaton was very anxious, to the point where his voice was trembling.“That’s right. I didn’t think he’d be here. What’s happening?”Mrs. Roy asked suspiciously after looking at the people lying about on the floor.“A misunderstanding, it’s
“Oh my god, it’s 100 million bucks! That’s 100 million bucks! He’s actually rejecting it for the three million bucks? Is he stupid?” Britney shouted. She was shocked to her core.“Yeah. Damn it, with 100 million bucks, you’re set for life. Why did he reject it? If it were me, I’d definitely agree to it without hesitation!” Matt also exclaimed in astonishment, wondering if he was in a dream.“Who said that being a soldier is useless? This guy is strong and good at fighting. He can hold two Siberian tigers with his bare hands. Now that his lucky moment came and he managed to save the son of Master Roy’s brother, he’s being granted a great fortune in one go!”“However, why is he refusing to take it?”Dylan also looked confused. “Aren’t they poor? They’re so poor that they can’t even afford to pay the 10 million bucks bill, yet now he’s refusing 100 million bucks? Nevertheless, if you say they don’t like money, then why take the three million bucks?”Hearing Dylan’s statement, Rachel and t
Furthermore, Fane was okay with refusing 100 million bucks. His spirit was absolutely admirable.“This guy is just doing it for the cheers!”“Hmph, what’s all this virtue signaling!”“Look at how poor he is!”Britney gritted her teeth, feeling pissed. At first she thought that Fane would be killed by O’Neal, then later she also hoped for people from the Roy family to kill him. She did not expect such a turn of events.“This guy is really lucky!”Ken and Neil exchanged looks, both feeling helpless.Very soon, they joined the crowd and left the area.Fane looked at the beautiful waitress and gave her a wave. He then took out 50 thousand bucks and passed it to her. “This is your tip, just as promised!”“T-t-that much?! Wasn’t it 10 thousand bucks?”The beautiful waitress held the money in her hand, suspecting that this might be an illusion. It was too much. That was the first time she had such a big tip.“Hehe, what I said earlier was no less than 10 thousand bucks! I never said that it w
“Poor? Hehe, could I afford two Porsches if I’m poor?” Fane snickered.He ignored Britney, then waved at the two women. “Come here for a moment!”“He’s even claiming to have two Porsches. I must be dreaming!”Britney was even more speechless. Was that guy some boasting champion? How could he be so shameless to insist he had two Porsches?The two women looked confused, but they approached him regardless.“Sir, is there something wrong?” asked the principal fearfully.“Show me your documents!” Fane asked after showing them a smile.“Oh!”Both of them finally realized what was going on and took out their documents, passing them to Fane. It came along with some pictures of the school.“Sir, would you like to make a donation? If it wouldn’t be a burden, I hope that you can extend a helping hand, even one or 10 bucks would do!”The female principal appeared to be a little shy. However, for the school’s sake and their children, she bit her lip and spoke up.“Sir, we’re really not conmen. If y
Selena was speechless. Fane was very kindhearted, but that boastful habit of his just could not be fixed.However, right at that moment, two red colored Porsches zoomed over at high speed with its blinding lights and pulled over in front of everyone.“Sister, brother-in-law, hehe, your cars are really nice to drive! I feel that I’ve been getting so much attention when I drive on the street!”Ben came down from the car and tossed the key to Fane.Xena had also gotten out of her car and threw the other key to Selena. “It’s so awesome. This is my first time driving a sports car. The feeling is really awesome!”At that point, she added regretfully, “Too bad it’s not ours. Sigh, if only I can get one for myself!”“You’re not going back?”Seeing that they handed both the keys over, Selena frowned.“Hehe, I’ve made plans with my friends to play games at the internet cafe later. They’re there waiting for us. We’ve gotten our fill of fun today driving your cars all night, so we’re sending them
"Honey, to be honest, the 100 million bucks is very tempting. After all, you would have had enough money for grandfather's birthday if we took it. But come to think of it, we can't take the money."They went back home and had their bath. Selena was lying sideways on the bed while looking at Fane lying on the ground as she smiled and said, "Honey, I realize both of us might be meant for each other. Sometimes, we just seem to have the same thoughts!""If I saved the boy for the money, I would've taken it. However, the money wasn't on my mind when I was saving him, so I wasn’t going to take it!" Fane smiled and looked at Selena who was dressed in sexy sleepwear. Then, he said, "Honey, Kylie seems to be fast asleep. Can I kiss you?"Selena instantly rolled her eyes at Fane, "In your dreams. But I have a question for you. What are you going to do with the stolen 3.8 million? Don't forget that mom set a time limit for you!"Worried, she spoke again after she was done talking. "Also, we agre
"What's wrong? You can't get through the phone?"Selena's face darkened as she questioned Sonia.Sonia's heart jolted as she smiled awkwardly, "No, no, you can reach her by phone!"Sonia pretended to take out her phone and dialed the number. In fact, she was actually calling Rosa, "Hello, are you here yet? You have an interview today, remember?"Sonia felt ashamed. She did not expect Selena’s call to actually get through to the fake number she had made up.However, it was fine even if she could. The person on the other end of the call might assume that it was a fraud call. He or she might just hang up or tell Selena off."You're right at the company’s door? Alright, you can just come straight in later!"Selena hung up after saying just that one sentence. "She's right at the door and is coming in now. Why did you say she was sick and couldn’t attend the interview?""That's impossible!"Sonia was startled but quickly snapped back to her senses. It might have been a coincidence. The owner
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.
