The George family, a first-class aristocratic family in Middle Province. Even a second-class aristocratic family like the Clarks could not wait to please them!Of course, those like the Taylor family were even more eager to make friends with them!Such an opportunity would not come easily.Yet, there they were. Ken and Ivan saw Fane and his family walking together with the George family toward the six-star hotel!“This is weird. Under normal circumstances, many people would want to invite the George family over to dinner so badly just to please them. These people might not even show up even if you sincerely invited them!”“Hmmm. Could it be that today Fane invited them to dinner?” Ken murmured as he stared at them from behind.“Impossible! This is a six-star hotel, and it’s very costly to consume here. Does that punk have the money to spend in such a place?”“Moreover, it’d be a shame for the George family to dine at the regular table, so he should at least get a private room and order
“That’s why Miss Tanya treats Selena and Fane all too kindly. This is the truth. I knew it!”Ivan looked as though he could see the light at the end of the tunnel. “Think about it this way. Fane’s a punk who has only served as a soldier. Though he’s skilled, the Drake family is so wealthy. It’s so easy for them to recruit a good bodyguard! Why do they pay him 20 million a month?”Ivan allowed his words to sink in before he added, “Selena’s salary is quite high as well, but she’s a procurement manager, so it’s reasonable to be this high. Only Fane’s salary makes no sense; it’s too much! The pay he’s getting only makes sense if it’s Selena’s. It’ll be obvious that they’re doing something under the table if they pay Selena 20 million a month!”Ken seemed to have thought of something. “Are you saying that the Drake family wanted to pay Selena 20 million a month but are afraid of raising suspicion? And that’s why they pay Fane 20 million instead?” Ken hypothesized.“Bingo!”Ivan patted Ken
“Young Master Hugo, Selena Taylor is a lot more powerful than we thought. We just saw her family dining at the hotel with the George family…”Ken forced a smile as he told Neil about Selena potentially collaborating with the George family on a construction project.Having said that, he then added, “Just think about it. If she didn’t give the George family any benefits, why would they treat them to a meal?”Ivan glanced at the sports cars by the side, then blurted, “These people from the George family are truly generous. To think that they would chauffeur people around with Rolls-Royces. D*mn it. I’ve never sat in a Rolls-Royce before!”“Nevermind. It’s not like we can prevent this now, can we?”Neil made a strained laugh before speaking to Ivan. “Young Master Taylor, you mentioned about asking us out for a drink. What is the matter?”“Haha, let’s go. There’s a decent bar there. Let’s go drink as we discuss!”Ivan laughed out loudly, then led the two of them to a small bar.After arrivi
“Young Master Taylor, do you have any ideas? We’ve tried our best but have yet to formulate a good plan. The last time we planned to have Fiona poison Fane, but we never expected her to be so cowardly despite her love for money!” Ken said after looking at Ivan.Ivan then replied, “I think it’s unlikely to have Fane divorce Selena. They’re quite close. Meanwhile, it’s very difficult to have him killed as he’s good at fighting. I’m afraid none of your bodyguards are his match!”Having said that, Ivan made a faint smile before continuing, “However, I have another idea! We’ll hire a hitman!”“Hehehe, hitman? Some hitmen might be worse off than our family’s regular bodyguard!”Neil burst into laughter instantly, “Young Master Taylor, here I thought you might have some ingenious plan for calling us over. In the end, that’s all you can come up with?”However, Ivan smirked before replying, “Young Master Hugo, do you think that I’ll be hiring a regular hitman? I’m talking about the elites, thos
Meanwhile, while Fane and the others were halfway through their meal, the George family’s butler came and passed an atm card to Fane, along with the password written on a note.Seeing Fane getting that much money, Selena, Fiona, and the others were all in a rather good mood.With that, everyone had a happy meal.After enjoying their meal, they finally left the hotel.Meanwhile, Master George was also very courteous, asking for Fane’s family to visit them at their place to hang out if they were free.After Master George and the others have departed, Fane finally approached Fiona and passed her the atm card along with the note.“Mother, here’s the 20 million bucks I’ve promised you previously as Selena’s betrothal gift. Since I have the money now, I’ll pass it to you in advance!” Fane stated sincerely with a smile.“W-w-what a surprise!”Fiona’s heart was delighted beyond measure. For the past two days, she was regretting her rejection of that 100 million bucks.Who would have known that
Inside a private room of a hotel, a woman with excellent physique quickly opened the door, allowing Ivan, Ken, and Neil to enter.The three looked at the woman before them and was slightly taken aback. The woman’s body was gorgeous. At the same time, she also gave off a prideful charm that was irresistible for men.“You’re Shadow?”After taking his seat, Ivan took out an atm card. “Here’s 150 million. The password is 000000.”The woman took a look at the card, her face expressionless. It was as though part of a routine.She took a whiff of the cigarette in her hand, speaking slowly, “Give me the details of that kid, including his picture and his family situation. I want to know everything!”Ivan placed the atm card aside, then took out a document folder and passed it to her.She started studying it carefully. After a while, she finally asked skeptically, “Is this guy just a bodyguard? He’s been a soldier for five years? He was recently discharged from service? How can you fail to take
“Haha, the voice is different!”Right then, the Selena before them burst out laughing. Meanwhile, her sound had changed to be like Ivan, exactly the same.“Hh-how did you use my voice?”Ivan took a deep breath. ‘Is this the capabilities of an expert hitman that ranked fifth in the southwestern hitman leaderboard?’ That was too terrifying. His voice was mimicked just like that. Moreover, it was exactly the same.“Haha, tell me. If I transfigured into your appearance and used your voice, would the others still be able to identify me?” the Selena before them spoke once more in Ivan’s voice.“Amazing, simply amazing!” Ken exclaimed in astonishment. Everything felt too surreal.If the woman before her was not a hitman, he would have asked her how much it would cost to spend a night with him. After all, after she transfigured into Selena, that appearance was just too similar.“Is that so?”Unexpectedly, the Selena before them smiled at Ken, her voice changing once again to mimic his.“Oh my
“That woman’s body is stunning. I think her butt is even perkier than Selena’s”After arriving at the plaza outside the hotel, Neil could not resist swallowing his saliva. “Too bad she’s a hitman. If only she was an escort. I’d be willing to pay high prices for this woman!”“That’s right. Such a beautiful flower, yet it had to be a rose with thorns!”Ken joined in amusement. “Next we can just sit back, relax, and wait for the good news from her!”Neil nodded, then said to Ivan, “Young Master Taylor, if the hitman contacts you about Fane’s death, you must notify us right away. Us, brothers shall have a good celebration!”Hearing that, Ivan’s heart was overjoyed. Although the Taylor family was just a third-class aristocratic family, Young Master Hugo and Young Master Clark belonged to second-class aristocratic families.For them to address him as a brother, it was apparent that he was not seen as an outsider. If he could establish a good connection with them, then it would definitely be
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.
