Selena frowned after hearing Fane said that. Could the gift Fane mentioned be the mansion?Could that mean Fane actually won the auction for that mansion?However, the Drake family never gave Fane advanced pay though. Could that be a gift from the wealthy lady to Fane and that was Fane’s gift for her grandpa?Selena would not look down on Fane even if he became a sugar baby just for the sake of staying in the Taylor family because she had already decided that even if Fane could not fulfill his promises and was not acknowledged by the Taylor family, she would still stay by his side.She believed if they do not have money, they could make money together instead of using such methods to make money just for the sake of being acknowledged by the Taylor family.Not to mention, if news of Fane being a sugar baby broke out, Old Master Taylor might actually be incredibly furious about it. He would rather not accept a mansion if that was the case since he would feel incredibly ashamed of it
However, what made Fane feel odd was, Xena seemed honest and was staying by Ben’s side all the time. This made him wonder if she actually had turned over a new leaf after the boss of the Dragon God Clan died?However, with much deeper thought, that possibility seemed quite likely. Xena might feel hopeful again after seeing Fane giving Fiona, twenty million bucks on top of gaining George family’s favor when their Taylor family were given two Rolls Royces. Moreover, both Fane and Selena each had a Porsche 911. These assets alone were more than enough for Xena to turn over a new lead and change her mind to be with Ben.It did not take them long to arrive at the Taylor family home with their cars.“I didn’t expect them to be able to drive such a car when they’re still living in that dump!”Cecilia mocked immediately after she noticed Fane and the others arrive.“Yeah, I heard Fane knew of some medical skills and had successfully treated Sharon’s obesity. Those Rolls Royces were gifted
”Fane, this, is this real? Did you know how much a table costs? Our preparations this time are very lavish and expensive. The food menu is pretty classy and it costs sixty thousand per table. Twenty tables would be 1.2 million bucks! Why did you prepare an additional two hundred tables? Did you know how much these extra tables would cost? That will set you back by ten million bucks!”Andrew’s face dimmed. If that was true then Fane would have been too bold since it would be very unnecessary to do that.“No way right, Fane? You dropped by yesterday?”Ben was also frowning as Fane seemed to be a magnet for trouble. They finally had some peaceful days and he did not expect him to pull a stunt like that during the Old Master’s seventieth birthday.“What on Earth was going on back there? I’ve asked the chefs as to why are there so many tables laid out and they said one of us had ordered them to lay out 220 tables!”Old Master Taylor stormed out furiously at this moment. He seemed incre
”It might actually be Ken, Neil, or Micheal since they’ve always hated Fane anyway. They did this to target Fane!”After remaining silent for a brief moment, Selena made that assumption.Fane had a peculiar look on his face as he stood by the side. He did not expect everyone to jump to his defense before he could even speak up for himself. He was incredibly touched by this.“Hehe, regarding if it was Fane’s doing or not, we’ll just have the hotel staff come over since they met the person anyway!”Ivan chuckled maniacally as he stared at Fane. He believed it must have been Fane since that person’s last name was ‘Woods’. It would be a miracle if that was not Fane.As for why Fane was this foolish to have done that was not that important anymore. Having so many extra tables would at least cost ten million bucks. He was interested to see what Fane would do.“You can stop asking now, it’s me!”Fane let out a bitter chuckle before waving both hands around as he replied.“Look, look a
”More than two hundred tables? Hehe, that is basically impossible. How can we have that many guests?”One of the Taylor family members started cackling out loud. The way he was looking at Fane seemed like he was staring at a madman.Cecilia was also laughing as she said, “Aside from the members of our Taylor family, it would only be regular wealthy merchants who have good ties with us. In addition to a few third-class aristocratic families that are close to us. Those second or first-class families will never show up because they all look down on us, third-class aristocratic families. Therefore, there can never be that many people present!”“Fane, this isn’t the gift you prepared now, right? This isn’t considered a gift, right? You came empty-handed and it seems like this happened to be a gift you’ve prepared for the old master?”Ivan chuckled coldly.“This isn’t a gift. I just so happened to request those tables for you guys only! Don’t you worry, if the Taylor family is unwilling
Not to mention, he had never even heard of the name of this marshal before.“A marshal came?”“That happens to be quite a capable marshal. How awesome! It seems our old master will be very reputable now!”A few of the Taylor family members looked very delighted. Since even a marshal came, would that not make their family proud?It seemed if any other third-class aristocratic families found out about this, they would all be envious of their Taylor family.“That brat sure came early!”Fane cracked a calm smile when he noticed Dennis. He did not expect Dennis would be the first one to show up when the others had not arrived yet.“Why did Dennis show up? Isn’t he a good friend of Ken’s? Could he have come because he knew that Ken is coming?”Ivan’s expressions dimmed before softly whispering to Old Master Taylor, “Grandpa, Dennis happens to be a good friend to Young Master Ken. Since Young Master Ken is a close friend of mine and he’s coming today, Dennis might be coming because of
Old Master Taylor gulped as he was wondering if he was dreaming. Three majors came. Those happened to be majors and they commanded at least a few thousand to tens of thousands of men on the battlefield.He did not expect them to show up to celebrate his seventieth birthday with him!“What’s the matter? Young Master Ivan, didn’t you say that not many people would show up?”Fane said while chuckling calmly.“Hehe, no matter what, they still can’t fill all two hundred tables!”Ivan was also chuckling as he believed Fane was merely lucky. Moreover, those two majors might actually be very close to Marshal Dennis hence, their presence.“The master of the Clark family has arrived with the members of the Clark family to celebrate Old Master Taylor’s seventieth birthday!”“The master of the Hugo family has arrived with the members of the Hugo family to celebrate Old Master Taylor’s seventieth birthday!”“The master of the Wilson family has arrived with the members of the Wilson family t
Old Master Taylor nodded satisfyingly. He could tell how sincere Ivan was to go out of his way to pick out a gift for him.The other Taylor family members all came forward to give Old Master Taylor their gifts.Of course, the gifts they presented could not compare with what Cecilia or Ivan had offered but they were quite expensive too. Those gifts averaged around a hundred to two hundred thousand bucks. Hence, they were still considered luxurious gifts.“Alright, old master. The gifts have been recorded here. I will be recording down any other gifts that will be given later!”The staff responsible for the gift reception recorded everything about the guests that came earlier before making that statement.“What are you still standing around for? Aren’t you going to present your gift?”Fiona’s expression dimmed after noticing Fane had not done anything yet. It was unsure what Fane was thinking since he had not made a move yet.“Yeah, brother-in-law, you wouldn’t have not brought an
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.
