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
“That’s right. You’re so right, Auntie!” Sasa beamed. “I’ll be taking my leave now. Thank you for your understanding.” “Miss Sasa, why don’t you have lunch with us before you leave?” Fiona said politely. “No need, Auntie. Maybe next time!” Sasa cast a smile over her shoulder and quickly left with her men. “Seriously, are you that desperate for money?” Andrew huffed angrily after Sasa left. “Fane is your son-in-law, and who on earth finds a second wife for their son-in-law? You’re probably the first in history of all mankind to do so!” “What do you know?!” Fiona’s expression suddenly turned frosty. “I’d tell any other girl who wants to be Fane’s second wife to scram, but this woman is different. She’s Miss Sharon, heiress to the George family!” She paused here before continuing, “Think about. The George family is one of the Four Major Families here. There are only four first-class aristocratic families in Middle Province, and they’re one of them. They must be rolling i
The mother-and-son duo placed Joan in a difficult predicament. “I’ll try my best,” she said perfunctorily, “but his opinions are his own. We can’t force him on anything.” “That’s right, Joan. That’s the spirit! We can’t control his heart, but we can certainly try our best to advise him to decide what’s best for him.” Fiona’s face broke out into smiles again, seeing as Joan was on their side. She even called the other woman’s name so lovingly. Joan merely smiled and proceeded to ignore Fiona. At that moment, at a hall in the Eagle Clan’s headquarters, more than a dozen men sat together, all executives in the clan. One of the middle-aged men had a dark expression. He remained contemplatively quiet for a while before starting, “Our men have returned. Unfortunately, the three hundred odd men who died in the forests at the city outskirts last night were our men. None of those men survived... Baldy was one of them.” “What? Baldy’s also dead?” Another woman was so frightened tha
“Oh, you’re finally coming to work. It’s a pity that you missed the morning drama.” Tanya and Yvonne—the latter sipping on coffee—so happened to be in the living room when Fane arrived. The former spoke in a sour tone. “Morning drama? Tell me.” Curious, Fane walked over to the couch and sat down. “A beautiful young woman came to see you. She said that she liked you and wanted to marry you.” Yvonne sneered. “I know you’re super happy on the inside!” “A beautiful young woman? Who?” Fane was surprised for a moment before he replied, “I think the only beauties I know are the two of you and my wife. Oh, right—and the Goddess of War, Lana. Still, she’s definitely not either of you, and she’s definitely not Lana. My wife is already married to me… So who on earth could it be?” “Sharon George. Didn’t you help her to lose weight? Now that she’s successfully lost weight, she’s much prettier now!” Tanya gave a bitter smile. “Her?” Fane’s features contorted into an unreadable
The fragrance of her perfume filled his nostrils. Sitting on Fane’s lap was a soft, curvaceous body. Fane’s heart skipped a beat at the sudden boldness. After all, he was a young man full of vitality. Even if he was a soldier, he could help his feelings when something like this happened. Still, he quickly pushed Sasa off of him. “What are you doing? How can you be so shameless as a woman?!” Sasa’s face was as red as a tomato, yet she smiled even when Fane was fuming. She smiled. “I’m not shameless; I’m just this straightforward because I like you,” she said bashfully. “No other man has caught my eye like this!” Fane was speechless. On the battlefield, he had a thousand different methods of killing the enemy—as easy as breathing. However, he did not know what to do when facing women, especially a woman as bold as her. He still maintained a stony expression. “Miss Sasa, don’t forget the promise we’ve made before. You can’t just go back on your word as the young mistress of
Yvonne mocked nonchalantly. The exchange reminded Yvonne of the time Fane walked into her room right when she had just taken a nice, warm shower. She still bore that grudge against him until this day. Fane did not expect the target would be on his back. “Heh, who told you that? Do you still remember who carried you on his back the night before when you were too drunk to even walk home?” Fane trumpeted deliberately. “And when you were on my back, my hands were not idling, too. Besides, I changed your clothes for you! Ring a bell?” Fane recounted the incident in a sarcastic tone. He did not let Yvonne step on his tail since she was the one who started the mockery. “You…” Yvonne’s cutesy cheeks were immediately kissed pink. She stomped her feet like a child, and with a slight annoyance in her tone, she complained, “Tanya, you told me my maid changed clothes for me. Why’s Fane saying that it was him? Did you lie to me?” The sudden accusation stunned Tanya for a moment, then she r
The Taylor family had been living in a community of townhouses. As the villas there were not large and sumptuous, the Taylor family bought multiple units, bordering them with tall thick fences and turning the area into the Taylor Residence. On a small hill not far from the Taylor Residence was a huge and opulent villa resting at its foot. Not only was the location of the villa strategic, but there was also an immaculate park nearby as well as a mega shopping small. That was why the price was exorbitant for such a villa, with its value estimated to be around 20 to 30 million bucks. The villa was spacious and was divided into three floors, its interior design extravagant and rich. The owner of the villa was the head of a third-class aristocrat family who had spent a fortune on this villa. The owner of the villa recently decided to move abroad. Thus, putting it up for auction. The location was strategic and it was not far from the Taylor Residence. Hence, when Fane saw it on t
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.
