Yvonne nodded her head. It was true that the Drakes were the most influential family in Middle Province. Even the four most powerful families here were not contenders against the Drakes and did not dare to offend them. What should she be afraid of?Unless he was from the most powerful family in Lone City.After all, Lone City was a few times larger than Middle Province, and naturally, they held more power. The aristocrats there were stronger than the aristocrats of Middle Province. There, they also possessed a fearsome strength; only that strength that was capable of scaring the Drakes.“Tsk...tsk. Stop lying to my face. You can only afford one bodyguard. Heh. Think you can scare me?”Flynn chuckled. “My family is a second-class aristocratic family from Lone City,” he said. “What do you think? Afraid now, aren’t you?”“No way. A second-class aristocrat? I’m so scared!”Tanya put on a fearful mask when she heard that.“Oh my God, a second-class aristocrat. We’re doomed. We’re doo
Fane did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. “From what I see, you’re a pretty good-looking guy, and you stand out from the crowd,” he said. “Why don’t you consider helping me polish my shoes?”“You ungrateful f*cker!“Get him!”Flynn snarled viciously as he waved his hand. He was someone who recognized and treasured talents in people, yet the other man refused to take up his offer. It was something he would never foresee.“These bodyguards seem to be better than the ones I faced last time. But they’re still trash in my eyes!”Fane’s lips curled into a wry smile. He took two steps forward and clenched his fists, moving first.Bam! Bam! Bam!The men who rushed over first all received a punch to their faces before they could respond. They flew backward, spitting blood with their front teeth, broken.“Ah!” One of the men—who looked thirty-odd—had extremely fast fists, and his technique was extremely sound.Fane observed him. This man’s fighting skill was probab
“Come over and fight me! How about that?”Fane waved his hand again. “I’ll spare you if you can take one hit from me!”Flynn’s blood pressure spiked. He was a pampered young man born with a silver spoon in his mouth. How on earth would he know how to fight? If he took one hit, he would be left crippled even if he did not die immediately.“Can we–we do it some other way? I was wrong!”Flynn’s features contorted in despair. He quickly noticed the shopping mall before him. “Oh, right. You’re out shopping, aren’t you, ladies?” he said. “How about this? I’ll pay for everything you buy today. Just choose whatever you like from this mall. How about that?”“Oh my, you’re paying? Why not? What do you think about this, ladies?”Fane smiled and looked at Tanya and Yvonne.After all, the other man was the young master of a second-class aristocratic family. Fane did not want to blow the issue out of proportion simply because he did not want to trouble himself too much.There was a possibili
The Bane family had quite a few skilled fighters. Two of them, especially, were a bit stronger than the Clarks’ strongest fighter, Dan. However, Flynn had not brought them along because he had not expected to be bullied like this in Middle Province. Still, he believed that the men his cousin would bring were enough to completely wipe out that bloody bodyguard. They shopped for about another half an hour. Tanya and Yvonne had amassed items that were worth around 20 million bucks. It made Flynn’s heart, ache uncontrollably. He had thought that the two women could not spend that much money while shopping. After all, they could not carry that many items. Who knew that they would buy luxury watches, earrings, perfumes, and various other knick-knacks. Nevermind that they were expensive, they were small and easy to carry as well. His pallor had taken on a deathly shade by the time they were finished. “Wow, it feels good to spend money!” Tanya stretched her arms above her head. H
“Ahem. It’s not that my pockets are bursting, but it’s so hard to be able to accompany such beauties while they’re shopping. And they’re such bombshells too. We can shop for another half an hour!” Although his heart ached for his money, Flynn’s expression was nonchalant. He just wanted to stall them for a while longer. Who knew if he would be able to run into them in the future if they left just like that? He was going to wait until his cousin came and kill that man. He would play around with the girls and finally release the grudge he had been holding. “Never mind. I don’t want to shop. Let’s go!” Yet Tanya and Yvonne did not like taking advantage of others. They did this just to teach the man a lesson. After all, they did not lack money themselves either. After they said that, the trio went toward the first floor and exited the mall. After Flynn went to the entrance, Ken and the others still had not arrived. Anxiety clenched his chest. All his bodyguards were all sitt
“Drop it? I can’t just drop the matter like that, Ken! “You promised to help me. You know what? I’ll let you have one of the ladies!” Flynn’s expression turned savage as he spoke while grinning. “Young Master Bane, do not say another word. Do you have a death wish?” Dan’s expression was so dark that it looked like storm clouds were obscuring it. He shot a vehement glare toward Flynn. “What? I have a death wish? Heh. What do you mean? No way that you can’t beat this punk!” Flynn still was not aware of the situation; he spoke while chuckling. “They’re telling you to shut up. Can’t you hear that?” Fane did want to exchange nonsense with the other man. He stamped his foot onto the ground and pounced forward. The next second, he was already standing before Flynn. He backhanded the other man. Bam! Flynn flew backward and landed on the ground with a solid crunch! Blood frothed at this mouth, and he lost quite a few teeth. “You–you dare to hit me?” Flynn was so angry th
“Yes, ma’am!” Fane nodded his head. After all, that b*stard had not provoked them just once before. Besides, he dared to humiliate Miss Tanya. It would be unreasonable for them to allow him to get away with this. “Don’t you dare! I’m telling you now—I’m a Bane, and my family is a second-class aristocrat in Lone City. Our second-class aristocratic family there is way stronger than all of you here. The Big Five of our family are also very powerful! “Your ‘strength’ merely lies in your wealth and your properties. Your fighters might not necessarily be stronger than ours though!” Flynn was frightened to the bone when he saw Fane walking over. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and threaten the other man. “Heh. You’ve got some nerve, actually threatening us instead of begging for your life at this moment!” Fane chuckled and took a step forward. He snatched the other man’s arm and tightened his grip around it. “Snap!” Fane’s movement looked casual, but the crack of a bone b
Soon enough though, Ken shook his head in disbelief. “No way. Why is that punk so low-profile if he indeed has a billion bucks?” “I don’t know. Some people have always been more low-profile—or maybe he just doesn’t want to live too extravagantly!” After Dan thought about it, he explained helplessly, “Young Master Clark, listen to me. Selena Taylor is beautiful, but can’t you find some other woman with the money you have? You can’t provoke Fane no matter what! Understand?” “Shut up! Stop nagging at me like you’re my mother!” Ken exclaimed angrily, extremely dissatisfied. He just could not believe that Fane would be so low-profile if he had so much money. The punk was a good fighter, yes, but it did not mean that he was a commander or something in the army. Besides, so what if he was a commander? He would die anyway if he provoked a man like Ken Clark. Now, he had no reason to be anxious. He believed that the matter of Fane would solve itself once grandfather Taylor’s birth
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.
