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
It was hilarious. This punk really took him for a fool, thinking of using the Dragon Gods’ name to scare him into giving the gun away. That would be like digging his own grave.“Heh. My father will never forgive you if you kill me. You’d better think this through!”Ruben flashed a mirthless smile and spoke.“I just wanted to get the 3.8 million back. I never thought that you would want to kill me. From the looks of it, I have no choice but to kill you!”Fane gave a cold smile before continuing, “Let’s say I kill you and everyone here. Do you think your father would really find out that I did it?”“Heh. You can try if you don’t believe it!”Ruben chuckled and said, “Do you really think that after coming out of the city on my subordinate’s bike, there would be zero witnesses along the way?”“Not bad!”Fane grinned. “That’s why the best course of action is to just wipe the entire Dragon God gang, right? I can’t get a good night’s sleep otherwise!”After he said that, Fane aimed the gun at
“Young Master Harvey, right? ‘Does Fane dare to kill you?’ What do you think of this sentence right now?”A mirthless smile hung on Fane’s face. He said, “You could’ve just returned me the 3.8 million when I first asked, but now…”“I-I’ll give you! Please spare me! I beg you!”Ruben knelt before Fane, petitioning for his pitiful life. He only realized how stupid of him to provoke a veteran now that he had experienced his viciousness first-hand.“Fine. I’ll spare you. But make a call to your dear Father and ask him to send over 3.8 million bucks right now. It has to be 3.8 million, nothing less!”“I’ll be over for a joint. Let me warn you first, you better not play any dirty tricks! It would be useless after all. And you don’t want the Dragon Gods to be in trouble!”Fane continued in a lazy tone. Ruben’s thigh was severely wounded; the blood was practically spewing out from the gunshot wound.He walked toward a big tree and stood under it, lighting up his joint casually and relaxingly.
“Young Master Ruben, what’s taking your phone call so long? You wouldn’t be trying anything now, would you? I told you to bring me that 3.8 million bucks in cash, you wouldn’t be calling for help now, would you?”Fane noticed the phone call took a while before he hung up therefore his question.“How could I? I only ordered them to help arrange that 3.8 million bucks for you. Don’t worry, they will arrive real soon!”Ruben immediately replied as he panicked.“Really? I’ll show you what happens if you lie to me!”After Fane made that cold statement, he actually tossed the pistol toward Young Master Ruben.“Ouch!”The pistol struck Ruben’s thighs which infuriated him. He immediately picked it up and was about to toss it back at him, “Goddammit, don’t you dare cross the line…”Ruben paused as he said that, it was only then did he realized that Fane had tossed him a pistol.“Haha, you truly have a deathwish. You actually tossed me a pistol?”Ruben felt ecstatic. It seemed Fane did
The main reason why the Dragon God Clan could have such a huge influence in the Middle Province was because of these few powerful men.“You sure are bold, brat. You actually kidnapped our young master. Hehe, this is my first time ever seeing someone this bold in the years I’ve lived in the Middle Province!”One of the bald men chuckled coldly. He then looked at the pile of corpses on the ground and said, “It seems your combat skills isn’t too bad. However, all that you’ve taken care of are merely trash to the Dragon God Clan. You will die when you encounter someone truly powerful.”Fane chuckled and took a step forward.“Hehe, you guys wouldn’t want to kill me now, would you?”He noticed Fane was inching closer to Ruben and his expression immediately dimmed.Although they were powerful and their speed were also without a doubt, fast but their distance were still quite far from Fane. Moreover, Fane was a retired veteran and if he was able to survive five years on the battlefield,
“Such powerful strength!”One of the men who was in a slightly better condition got back up from the ground immediately while staring at Fane with a serious look.The remaining three men immediately surrounded Fane. Therefore, all five people had Fane completely surrounded.Young Master Ruben let out a sigh of relief when he noticed Fane was completely surrounded. He exclaimed, “You lot don’t kill him immediately. Beat him up nicely and don’t give him a quick and painless death.”That bald man let out a bitter laugh before saying, “Young Master Ruben, this brat isn’t a pushover. Even if we can kill him, it’ll be a very difficult thing to do!”After Young Master Ruben heard that he gasped and said, “No way, right? You guys happen to be the Five Tigers of the Dragon God. Although there’s six of you initially unfortunately Scar was killed. Or else, our Dragon God Clan obviously do not need to bend to the wills of the other clans.”“This brat was a soldier for five years and anyone w
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.
