The woman glared at the plump man. “Fatty Walter, you won’t get away with it if you dare touch me!”She merely finished her sentence when Fatty looked at her, with fire in his eyes, and paced toward her. Piak! He slapped her three times.“I indulged you too much, you b*tch! Why do you keep causing me trouble? Who’s the f*cking boss here?! Without me, you’re nothing!”It seemed Fatty had been immensely frustrated with this woman and finally showed her what a man like him was made of. It felt good to vent his anger on her.“You...” It dawned on the woman that she had to rely on this man for power; she only dared to act recklessly because of this man. She had no guts to fight back when it was the same man who slapped her.“Scram!” Fane yelled as he looked at the quarreling couple and the bodyguards aroused from unconsciousness.Those guards fled like there was no tomorrow.“Kylie, are you okay?” Fane turned around to make sure he did not scare Kylie, his tone much gentler this ti
With that, Selena’s petite face and ears were entirely flushed. She knew very well Kylie asked purely out of innocence, which made it much harder to answer her.She was even more startled when Fane smiled and replied, “Alright, alright, don’t you worry. I promise you’ll have a younger sister or brother. Mom and Dad will have a few babies so you’ll have a few siblings to play with.”Selena was so embarrassed that she pinched Fane’s back.“Ah!” Fane’s yelp escaped him by reflex, but he quickly added, “The night is so beautiful.”The family of three quickly arrived home. Kylie was fast asleep in bed when Fane came out of the shower.Fane returned to his mattress and got ready to hit the sack.Just as he was getting ready, Selena turned around from the bed and looked at him. “Honey… Why don’t you sleep on the bed tonight? Consider it your reward for performing well as a father and a husband.” Selena blushed as she finished speaking.Fane squatted happily on the floor as he heard tha
“But we don’t have money now, so we’ll have to wait for two months before buying a house,” Selena spoke, seemingly approving Fane’s idea. “You already gave two thousand as a bride-price to Ma, so you don’t have to give anything anymore. What’s left is Grandfather’s birthday gift and the ten-million compensation to Ivan. I’ve got an idea: Since you’re on excellent terms with Miss Tanya, perhaps you could ask her to give you your first month’s salary a few days earlier than the actual payday. Problem solved!” She paused for a moment, caught up in her thoughts, before adding, “Wait till you get another month’s salary, then we’ll go and scout for villas. It’s not like we can’t stay here for now.” “I don’t think we can stay here, though! “Kylie doesn’t have a room to herself, and you definitely won’t allow me to touch you!” Fane was firm in his decision as he spoke, “I’ll go and see if there are any suitable houses for us when I have the time. We’ll see after we’ve set our eyes on s
“She’s looking for Fane?” “A beautiful woman?” Tanya and Yvonne exchanged glances, unable to comprehend the irritation they were experiencing. “Just how beautiful is she?” Yvonne pressed on. “Why does that geezer still have beauties clamoring after him?” “Oh, she’s very beautiful. How do I put this? She’s almost as beautiful as you, Miss Yvonne, and she’s on a whole other level of beauty, just like Miss Tanya!” The words gushed out of the bodyguard’s lips, bluntly so. His mind was riddled, though. Why were these two ladies not focusing on the main issue? The woman asked if Fane was here, and yet they were focused on the woman’s beauty? This was no beauty pageant! “Fane isn’t here. He’ll probably only come around in the afternoon. Tell them to go return for now,” James spoke straightforwardly. “No, I want to go out and see who’s the woman looking for Fane!” Tanya spoke after she thought about it. “I want to see her, too!” A spark of envy flickered in the two women’s
“Alright. You’ll tell us who you are now, right?” Yvonne spoke, drawling her sentence as she did. “Do you not recognize me? Heh. It’s Sasa, Tanya! Do you really not recognize me?” Sasa grinned. “I asked Fane to marry me before, but he didn’t give me an answer. I was overweight then and I looked ugly, so it’s not odd that he refused me. Because of that, I decided to wait for a while before trying my luck again. There might be hope for me if I ask for his hand now!” “Sasa!” Tanya took a sharp intake of breath. She scrubbed her eyes, suspecting that she was hallucinating. She studied Sasa closely. The woman before her and the Sasa she knew seemed like two completely different people. However, after careful observation, she really did look like Sasa. It was no wonder Tanya felt like she looked so familiar when she saw her. “My God. You managed to cure your disease? How many kilos did you lose? I remember seeing you just a few days ago. Didn’t
Fane carried two enormous luggage bags he had bought earlier and stood before Tiger’s residence. “Big Brother, you’re finally here. My wife and I have been waiting for you for a long time!” Opening his door and noticing Fane at his residence, Tiger burst into guffaws. “Come in! Come in!” Tiger’s wife immediately came forward to welcome him. However, she was puzzled at the sight of Fane carrying in two brand new luggage bags. “What’s this, Big Brother?” Tiger’s expression matched that of his wife’s. Was Fane thinking of moving house? Unfortunately, their house was extremely small. There was no way he could move in with them. “Heh. I didn’t have time to pick something good for you before I came, so I brought two huge luggage bags for you!” Fane chuckled and took the bags in, placing them at the corner of the room. Judging from Fane’s nonchalant expression, the luggage bags seemed to be light—probably empty. Tiger and his wife were dumbfounded. This was the first t
In her effort of lifting the bags, Tiger’s wife found that the bags that were, in fact, heavy. She could not lift them because she only used a little strength. “Why is it so heavy? They’re brand new. Is there something inside?” The woman’s brows furrowed, expression puzzled. Realization shook Tiger to the core when he heard this. He leaped to his feet and slapped his own head. “Big Brother had said this: ‘You call me Big Brother, and as your Big Brother, it’s only natural for me to help you out a bit!’” He rushed over and laid the luggage bags flat on the ground. Tiger opened one. The minute he opened one bag, red-colored notes were practically bursting out from the bag. There were so many that the bag could barely hold everything in! “Oh my God... That’s a lot of money! I’ve never seen so much money in my entire life!” His wife stared wide-eyed at the luggage bags, overwhelmed with shock. Tiger opened the other bag. Just like the other bag, wads of red notes filled thi
Joan’s expression became displeased after she heard this. She had an uneasy smile as she replied, “Didn’t you promise to not ask for Fane’s hand anymore the last time, Miss Sasa?” Sasa’s expression became awkward. “I—I wasn’t good-looking then, so it was only to be expected that Fane would reject me. Now, I’m a lot prettier, and Fane is such an outstanding man, so I want to give it another shot!” Joan began to feel exasperated. “I appreciate your affection toward Fane, Miss Sasa, but I understand my son’s character better,” she insisted, smiling. “He’s stubborn and straight-laced. That’s why when he told you that he didn’t like you, chances are that you wouldn’t be able to convince him even if you tried again. I suggest that you let it go, Miss Sasa.” “I know this, Auntie, but I still want to try. I won’t have any regrets only after I’ve tried!” Sasa gave a wan smile and clapped her hands. Some of her bodyguards then came forward and carried the gifts she bought. “I didn’t kn
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.
