“Oh, what do we do now? Where’s Fane? Tell him to come quick! The robbers on motorbikes are coming!”Fiona was scared out of her wits. Her arms were tightly wrapped around the money; she fought with every bit of her strength.Andrew wanted to grab the other man, but he was shoved until he fell onto the ground instead. The two men immediately approached Fiona for the pouch.At this moment, Fane sprinted into view.“Hurry, Fane. Hurry! I can’t hold on much longer. The money is being taken away!”Fiona shrieked when she saw Fane.Unfortunately, her strength could not match that of the two young men. The pouch in her hands was snatched away.“Stop!”Fiona leaped forward at the thought of the 3 million bucks in that pouch, latching onto the man who just got onto the motorbike.“Let me go, you old b*tch!”Shock jolted through the man when Fiona latched onto him. He kicked Fiona until she tumbled onto the ground. The bike took off in a cloud of dust. Two other bikes sped forward, following th
Fiona did not have a shred of pity for the snatch thieves. She spoke with venom in her voice, and she constantly launched her foot toward them. For the past two days, she had not eaten or slept well, thinking about her 3.8 million dollars.“I’ll tell you! We handed the 3.8 million to our boss after we took it. And he gave each of us a share of it!”The man immediately spilled everything, evidently terrified.“Then how do you guys know that we keep our money here? It can’t be a coincidence!”Fane asked them again. He already had the answer, but he needed proper confirmation.Furthermore, there was no way that Andrew and Fiona would think that the culprit was Xena. The two of them—especially Fiona—had already treated Xena as a daughter-in-law.“It–it was Xena Jackson who told our boss. She’s also a member of the Motorbike Robbers. She gives us information, and if we get the money, she gets twenty percent of the share all to herself. She gets even more than we do!”The man immediately rev
Andrew, too, did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw his wife on the ground like that. “Don’t you get it? There was never any money inside. Miss Tanya never gave Fane a bonus. It was a trick to lure Xena.”“Let’s go, Ma. We’ll go back home first. I believe that Fane will get your 3.8 million bucks back very soon!”Selena helped her mother to get onto her feet, and the three of them disappeared quickly.Fane watched as the four men slowly stood up, their faces ashen. He pondered for a moment. “Let’s go,” he said. “Bring me to your boss.”“Sir, can’t you spare us? Our boss will beat us to death if he ever found out that we betrayed him!”One of the men immediately pleaded, terror seizing his veins.“Heh. Then I’ll beat all of you to death now if you don’t take me to him!”Fane threatened them, chuckling.“I advise you to not go at all,” another man said. “You seem really strong, but if you do, not only you might not be able to get the money, you might even die a nasty death!”“Y
“Heh. Alright. you’ll get 600 thousand this time. Quite a pretty sum!”Young Master Harvey said, chuckling.Xena sat on the ground. “At first, I dated Ben because I thought he was a Taylor. Even if he was kicked out from the Taylors, it doesn’t mean that his family wouldn’t have any money,” she said. “Then I dated him for so long, and only then I discovered that that b*stard’s family really doesn’t have much money. It pisses me off. It’s such a loss for me!”She paused for a while here before continuing, “If I hadn’t gotten used to playing online games with him, and if he hadn’t been such a fantastic gamer, I would have left him long ago. I never thought that the return of that b*stard’s brother-in-law would give me an opportunity to get some money!”Young Master Harvey walked till he was before her. He pressed her against the ground and planted a wild kiss on her lips. Then he sat on the ground too, unsatisfied. “Then did he take advantage of you, babe?”“No way. With his looks, letti
“No way. Fiona and Andrew are pretty old. No way that the four of them failed to snatch the goods.”Xena frowned when she heard that. She walked over to take a look.At the sight, her face contorted in disgust—because there was no pouch in sight.“Useless! Four men and they couldn’t rob an old couple?”Young Master Harvey’s expression hardened. He did not look very pleased.Although three million bucks was not much to him, he never liked failing in anything he did.“It looks like there are three bikes, but an extra passenger is riding on one of them!”One of the men exclaimed when they came closer into view.The bikes zoomed forward. The people were full of distrust. Five men came down from the bikes.“Bo–boss…”One of the men had lacerations on his forehead; blood streaked his face.He ran over to Young Master Harvey. “We–we didn’t manage to get the goods,” he said, terror laced in his voice. “We fell into a trap!”“Useless!”Young Master Harvey threw a vicious kick at the man. Then h
Fane lit up a cigarette and took a slow drag out of it before he spoke leisurely.“Dumb?”Xena grew angry when she heard that. “You’re just a military man. I know you’re a skilled fighter. Ben had told me before. And so what? You’re just a bodyguard. You’re not that great.”She splayed her arms here. “At any rate, I don’t have money and I need money, and I want to get money. Was I wrong?” she continued. “I don’t think I’m dumb. I got 760 thousand bucks from the last lot alone, no?”Since Fane had already found out, Xena decided to throw away all pretenses. “Do you understand? So what can you do to me? Heh. It would have been better for you to stay put. You’re just digging your own grave by coming here!”“You’ve been with Ben for such a long time now. Do you really not have any feelings for him?”Anger sparked in Fane. Although he did not talk a lot to Ben, he could see that Ben truly liked Xena, and intended to marry her.“Hmph. Feelings? What good are feelings? Do they feed me?”Xena
“Listen to me, punk. It’s no use even if you get on your knees and beg for your life now!”The grunt was extremely arrogant. They had plenty of men. He did not believe that they could not take care of one man.Slap!In a split second, he seemed to have apparated before the grunt. Then with a flick of his hand, he sent a slap flying toward the side of the grunt’s face.“I—”The grunt took a sharp intake of breath. That was way too fast. He did not even have time to react and, he had gotten a slap.He closed his fingers into fists, getting ready to punch Fane. The other men surged forward.Yet Fane just grabbed his arm in a flash, and with a mighty swing, the grunt was sent spiraling into the men that surged forward.Then Fane released his grip, and the grunt flew, crashing heavily into a nearby tree. Blood spurted from his mouth as he landed on the ground with a resounding crash.“Bunch of weaklings. I take good care of you every day, and you’re still this useless!”Ruben understood tha
“Although I’m not afraid even if I don’t use rocks, I still want to play around with you too!”Fane said lightly as if he did not give a sh*t about the other man.“Not bad. Hah!”Ruben laughed and opened fire at Fane’s thigh.Swoosh!In a blink of an eye, Fane flung his arm forward. The two pebbles shot forward.One of the rocks happened to hit the bullet, deflecting it. The other rock whacked straight into one of Ruben’s fingers.“Ah!” Ruben shrieked.The finger that had been hit immediately snapped, as though he had been hit by a bullet. Half of the finger fell onto the ground.The sudden flare of pain made Ruben cry out in agony. The gun slipped from his grip and fell onto the ground as well.“Boss!”“Young Master!”The remaining men stared at the situation, goggle-eyed, wondering if this was real.“F*ck! Kill him!”Ruben looked at the gun on the ground, then turned toward one of his men by his side. “Pick up that gun and kill that punk!” he snarled.The man immediately bent over to
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.
