Therefore, Fane could only pretend he was not aware of the plan to poison him. But, he did feel a lot better now after beating up Ivan real bad just a moment ago. “Hmph! I dare you to kill me here right now! You’d kill me just because Xena is fond of me but not Ben? What a joke! If you murder me, then pray real hard for forgiveness from my Pa and Grandpa!” Ivan jeered dryly and shot Fane a hateful stare. “Fane, I’ll remember what happened today! And don’t you worry, you’ll regret your actions sooner or later!” Fane was not bothered in the slightest. He walked over to Xena’s bag and plucked off the tracking device. He then held Selena’s hand and left the scene together with Ben. Ivan could not see Fane taking off the tracking device from where he was. A few minutes after Fane and the others left, Ivan used all his strength and finally got himself on the bed. His whole body was in pain as if it was about to fall apart. In hopes of asking Xena to come back, Ivan picked up his
“I—I’m coming along?” Panic throbbed inside Ken when Xena requested him to take some bodyguards and go with her to the hotel. His face sank in an instant. He knew very well in his heart that no one in the Clark family possessed combative skills that were on par with Fane’s, not even the number one bodyguard of the Clark family—Dan Jameson. Even if he brought a bunch of bodyguards with him, they would not be able to touch Fane at all, not even the corner of his shirt. Especially now, knowing that Fane was burning with anger. Plus, he was a simple-minded brat who had a close relationship with the Goddess of War. All in all, they did not dare to offend Fane at all. If Fane wanted to beat him, he could only swallow it and blame himself for having bad luck. “What’s the matter? Young Master Clark, are you afraid of him?” Xena was taken aback and felt something was off. “Afraid of him? Humph! What a joke! He’s merely a good-for-nothing adopted son-in-law, why should I be afraid of
Ben stayed silent the whole way home, as though sadness had stolen his words. It was obvious that dread and sorrow had been growing inside him since the earlier incident. “Brother, I understand if you can’t kill her. After all, you’ve been together for so long!” Selena wheeled her head around, looking at Ben who was in the backseat. She continued, “But, this is the last time you’ll be grieving. The next time we see her, you can’t stop us from wanting to kill her. After all, this woman is too cunning. Not only did she cheat on you, but she also attempted to poison your brother-in-law!” Ben remained silent for several seconds before he finally nodded. “Don’t worry, Sis. I understand now. I was useless before, and too naïve. I don’t behave like a grown and mature man. I don’t even have a decent job! To her, I’m still a hopeless, unrecyclable piece of trash!” His muttering halted at this moment. Then, a voice came out from his mouth again, “But, to kill her...I really can’t do it!
“But, I’m not interested in Taylor’s inheritance at all! I’ve never thought of competing with him!” Selena’s forehead puckered, lines forming between her brows. “I just want to live a peaceful life. Plus, the money we earn monthly is more than enough for us to live comfortably. We have a villa, and also cars! I truly enjoy the life we’re having right now. As for the Taylor properties and assets, Grandpa Taylor already entrusted them to Ivan from the beginning, so he’ll definitely pass everything over to him. As for whether or not Grandpa Taylor wishes to give me some of it, I truly don’t care at all!” “Haha! My dear wife, you’re too simple and pure.” Fane giggled happily and wrapped his arms around Selena’s waist. “Dear, you’re kind-hearted and it’s not a big deal to you. How Grandpa Taylor distributes the properties, you have no interest at all, I’m sure. The thing is, Ivan doesn’t think so! For a long time, he always felt that Grandpa Taylor always treated you very well and tha
“Don’t worry; just stay close to me these few days. They willingly participated in yesterday’s event, so they can’t explain their actions if they kill you.” Ivan smiled bitterly. “Luckily Fane didn’t know that you fed him poison. If he knew about it, he wouldn’t have considered so many other things.”“What? Fane had drunk the...the poison?” A surge of unadulterated joy began spreading throughout every inch of Ken’s being when he heard this piece of information. After all, he believed he would be the one to have Selena once Fane was out of the picture. He had waited for this day for a very long time.He was initially worried Xena would fail since Fane was rather smart and could catch onto what Xena was planning. He never thought Xena would succeed at feeding Fane the poison without being caught.“Yes! How’s that, Young Master Clark? Am I reliable?” Xena saw how Ken’s expression lightened up right after he heard about her success. “You seem so excited! Don’t you think you should rew
“It’s very simple. Young Master Clark only needs to pay the Xenos family a visit and tell them how Fane killed their young master. That way, the Xenos family would know who the killer is,” conspired Ivan. “Fane has an indisputably strong combat power, but now that he’s poisoned, you can ask the Xenos family to take action after a few days. That way, their chances of succeeding in getting even would increase,” schemed Ivan with a nonchalant grin on his face. “Of course, this is if you’re in a rush to see Fane die as soon as possible. If you’re not, then you can wait and see how he suffers from the poison.”Ivan paused for a moment before he added, “I’m in no rush, really. The entire Taylor family’s business is under my management, and the company needs me more than ever!”“Alright, it’s getting quite late. Let me call Neil and tell him about this over some drinks,” Ken spoke. “This will surely make a good conversation!” The smile on Ken’s face did not once waver since he knew Fane h
“Fane really drank that poison?” It was too good to be true for Neil as he broke a slow smile. “F*ck! That’s good news alright! He’s poisoned! This poison is a potent one and can cause his body to weaken continuously without him knowing it. He’ll die miserably after a month…! Haha!”“How about it? It’s not too much for you to pay for this news, right?” said Ken as the grin never left his face.“Of course it’s not too much. I’ll pay for it! F*ck... Fane’s dying soon. The gods must be on my side right now!” Neil laughed happily.A plan began to formulate inside Neil’s mind. Once Fane was out of the picture, he would ask Ken out and eliminate him.After all, Ken was acquainted with Selena for the longest time and used to have a good relationship with Selena. Neil was good-looking and prepossessing, but he did not have such a deep relationship with Selena like Ken.Michael was the least of his concern; a fat pig like him would never get Selena. Hence, once Fane died, Ken would have th
Several cars drove toward Sky Dragon City the following day.Sky Dragon City was quite far away from the Middle Province; it took them two to three hours to even get there by car.Neil, Ken and the others eventually reached the outskirts of Sky Dragon City around twelve at noon.Sky Dragon City was indeed two to three times bigger than Middle Province. Many powerful yet rather extreme people were in this city, thus Neil and the others made sure to be at their best behavior as they walked into this foreign city.They first found a restaurant and had a simple meal before they started asking around about where the Xenos family was at.“What? There are two Xenos families here? One is huge and the other is powerless?” Ken was startled at the information given by a passerby they were asking.The passerby smiled bitterly. “Yes, Sir. There used to be two Xenos families here, but there’s only one left now. Someone had wiped out the bigger Xenos family, and their properties were then sold
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.
