“How arrogant!” Three of the thugs went forward and surrounded Fane in an instant. They balled their fists and charged towards Fane. Boom! Bang! Pow! Fane threw his punches at lightning speed that one’s eyes could not even keep up. The three thugs—who rushed toward Fane—were punched square in the face, and they fell to the ground without even touching a single strand of Fane’s hair. The blood oozed from their gums and over their swollen lips. With sheer terror showing in their eyes, they died. “This…” Brother Tempest was initially standing aside haughtily with his arms crossed at his chest, ready to witness a bloodbath. Never did he expect that all his three underlings would die in the next second!Too caught up in the moment, he gulped audibly. “W—What?!” Many onlookers were shocked at the outcome as well. “He murdered them... Oh my f*cking god! How dare he kill the people from the Eagle clan?” “Yes, this young man is something else. Quite a bold man, he is!” “B
Brother Tempest merely scoffed. “I’ll be seeing you tomorrow,” he spoke before leaving the scene.“How much is the total, Boss?”Yvonne merely gave a small smile before taking out about 8 thousand bucks and placed it on the table. “This includes our meal and taking care of the three corpses,” she spoke. “Shouldn’t be a problem, right?”“No, no problem at all. Of course there’d be no problem!”The boss immediately ran out while cackling out loud before saying, “F*ck. Brother Tempest and his men are no good people; I’ve been patient with them for quite some time. These people are used to bullying the weak, and the people weren’t bold enough to stand up to them. Not to mention, they never once paid for anything when they ate here. They kept telling me that they owe me for the time being and their debt has snowballed to several thousand bucks now. They’ve never paid once.”“Yeah, we always wanted these people dead. Thank you, kind sir!”“Yeah! That veteran sure is something. He took
Fane and Tanya quickly went to Yvonne’s side. Yvonne was slumped over on the table at this moment, soundly asleep.“So that’s why she was silent for the longest time; she’s asleep. Now what are we going to do? We didn’t drive out here.” Tanya glanced at Fane before she added, “You’ll have to carry her back.”“Well, that’s not appropriate, right?”Fane gave Yvonne a once-over. The awkwardness he felt was so strong that it showed on his face.Yvonne’s breasts were rather large, and it was just his bad luck that she wore a rather skimpy skirt. Most of her thighs were exposed. If he was to carry her back, it would be impossible for him to not touch her body…The most important thing was, although Yvonne was sexy and dressed boldly, he could tell Yvonne was not that innocent of a woman.Fane assumed she had not exactly let go of the incident from back then. Otherwise, she would never have tried so desperately to outdrink him and get him drunk.“What isn’t appropriate? You’re not ex
“Not good!”Instantly realizing Yvonne was still on his back, he quickly stretched out to hold onto Yvonne.As Yvonne was already light on her feet in her drunken state, the force of Fane’s tug made her stumble and fell onto him.Fane was wedged between two women. As he lost his balance, he stumbled and fell onto Tanya since her weight had dragged him down with her.She had pulled Fane’s arm in fright and fear, thus the force of her tug pulled him down with her.All of that happened in an instant. His only intention was to keep both women from harm, yet Fane was sandwiched between both Tanya and Yvonne in the end.“Ugh!”Tanya never expected the instant she fell, and by pulling Fane toward her, their lips would meet.Time had seemingly stopped moving at that instant as Fane’s weight pinned her down. Her blush seared through her face as her breathing became labored.“Nghh…”Utterly speechless, he immediately raised his head and was about to get up.He had forgotten that an ex
“You wouldn’t want me to carry her back to the room as well, right?”Fane frowned when he realized they were approaching the Drake family’s residence entrance. He felt somewhat abashed.After all, it would embarrass him to no end if any of the bodyguards on patrol, or even the ones standing guard at the door, spotted him.“Nonsense. Are you expecting me to carry her, then? Besides, she’s already on your back. so hurry up and carry her to the bed.”Tanya rolled her eyes at Fane. She could not shake off the awkward feeling she was experiencing after Fane had kissed it. Twice, even.“Hold on a second.”Noticing something, she immediately took out a piece of wet napkin. “Come, let me help wipe your mouth.”She gently wiped Fane’s mouth as she spoke. “Oh my god... There’s lipstick stain on it,” she fretted. “If anyone were to notice this, nothing we say can paint us as innocent.”Fane cringed as he heard that statement, and he thanked his lucky stars that Tanya noticed such a small
Kyle laughed as he stared at the woman on his back. He cheekily gave Fane a thumbs-up. “You sure are something, Boss,” he spoke nonchalantly. “Other common folk would carry their beauties back in their arms and you, on the other hand, gave a beautiful woman a piggyback ride!”Fane felt overwhelmed internally as he shot Kyle a menacing glare. “What nonsense are you spouting? You’re really asking for a beatdown, aren’t you?” he spluttered. “Miss Yvonne is drunk, and I’m only carrying her back!”Harvey chuckled since Fane was worshipped as every Drake bodyguard’s idol. All of them highly respected him.Fane should know that not even the Three Major Guardians of the Drake family had such treatment.“Hurry up and scram! I, Fane, is an honorable man, so why should I feel guilty about anything anyway?”Fane glared at everyone before turning around and entering the mansion with Yvonne on his back.Tanya burst into laughter as she followed Fane closely behind.“Boss sure is something, al
Fane drove his car and soon reached home. "You're back so late, and you stink of alcohol. How much did you drink with Tanya?" Selena had already taken her bath. She was lying on the bed while fiddling with her phone. She placed her phone away and got up from the bed when she saw Fane return. "I don’t even want to talk about it. That Yvonne, Tanya's cousin, is an alcohol fiend. She forced me to drink with her." Fane laughed drily. He dug through his closet for his pajamas and prepared to go to bed. Selena went behind him and sniffed. "That can't be. Why do I smell perfume on your body? Didn't you say that you weren't together with that rich lady? Didn't you say that the rich lady is a Goddess of War and your friend?” Selena rambled. “Hmph! I think that you didn't go drink with Miss Drake, but instead went to look for that rich lady!" Fane was rather surprised at how Selena's nose was sensitive enough to discern the scent of perfume on him. He bitterly laughed before repl
Yvonne lowered her head to look at her body and noticed she was wearing spaghetti strap pajamas. Yvonne sucked in a mouthful of cold air. "Oh my god… That can't be. How did I get home last night? Who bathed me and put on clothes for me?" She deduced that Tanya was not the one to have carried her home, and she gradually became frightened. "Don't tell me it's Fane." Coincidentally, Tanya opened the door to her room and walked in at that moment. "Oh, you're awake? I thought that you'd still be sleeping. I didn't expect that you could lose to Fane Woods in drinking." Tanya was rather surprised when she saw Yvonne sitting upright. "Tanya, how…did I get back here last night? Did Fane Woods carry me here? Did we take a cab?" Yvonne came to her senses when she saw Tanya entering the room. Her questions gushed out before she could even clear her thoughts. "It's very near, so we didn't take a cab,” Tanya spoke before chuckling lightly. “You were too drunk, so I asked Fane to carry
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.
