“Sure. It’s quite a long way. As long as you’re tired, that won’t be a problem!”Selena smiled blissfully. At first, she thought that Fane seemed cold ever since he came back from the war. He always had on a serious face. Unexpectedly, there were times where he could be romantic.“Of course, I won’t be tired. As long as you’re the one behind me, anything is bearable. I can even be strong enough to carry you to work every day!”Fane replied happily.“Daddy, I want you to carry me too!”Kylie, who was in his arms chuckled.“Sure, come on. Daddy will carry you!”Fane placed the little girl on his back in one swooping motion.“Brother-in-law, if you really became a bodyguard with a salary of twenty million bucks a month, can you help me get a car? Hehe, all the matters earlier were just misunderstandings.” Ben ran up to them after getting a glance from Xena and asked with a chuckle, trying to butter up to Fane.Although he too felt that the Second Miss was being conned by Fane. However, wh
Selena smiled and made a joke. “You don’t say. I really think that might be possible. After all, your husband is so handsome, what happens if someone decides to be my sugar mommy?”Fane was speaking as he looked backward at that snow-white sexy thigh that was just by his side. He moved his hand over and lightly caressed the side of her leg.“Ah!”Selena did not expect Fane to be so brazen. Her face turned red immediately, “What’re you doing?! How can you be so mischievous while driving in broad daylight?! Do you know how embarrassing it is for others to see this on the street? I didn’t expect you to be such a delinquent.”“Cough! Cough! I just saw a mosquito and decided to kill it for you!”Fane answered with a straight face.“Mosquito my butt. Do you think I’m a three-year-old?! If you do that again, I’ll get off and walk home!”Selena was frustrated, feeling extremely embarrassed.Right then, a Ferrari passed by. Seeing such a scene, the driver could not resist swallowing a mouthfu
“What’s the meaning of this?”Fane stopped the electric scooter next to the car and stared coldly at the other person after he got off it. “Are you blind?”Young Master Hugo acted as though he could not hear a word from Fane. Instead, he looked at Selena and asked, “Oh my, this...isn’t this Selena Taylor, the prettiest girl according to the legends? Miss Taylor, I heard that a lot of gentlemen are courting you, yet you’ve turned them all down. And here I thought you’re being loyal and waiting for your trashy husband!”Having said that, he then looked toward Fane disdainfully, continuing, “It turns out that you would find loneliness too hard to bear at times too. Seems like I’ve caught you in the act, didn’t I?”“Does any of my matter have anything to do with you?”Selena could not be bothered to debate with him, stating coldly, “That was intentional, right? You purposely parked your car by the side, then waited for us to pass this puddle to rush over, isn’t it?”“Oh my, Miss Taylor, yo
The puddle was already over a dozen meters behind them. However, Fane’s kick was extraordinarily powerful. He managed to send him flying, finally landing in that puddle.Young Master Hugo’s floral shirt was then drenched by the muddy water. “Y-y-you dare to hit Young Master Hugo? Are you looking for death?”The woman was terrified, immediately backing away as she pointed at Fane.Fane maintained emotionless, staring straight at her. “Do you want me to take action, or will you voluntarily roll in that puddle over there?”“D-d-don’t hit me…”The woman was scared witless by Fane’s gaze. It was the gaze of someone that survived countless bloodbaths. After saying that, she quickly ran over and started rolling in the puddle. Her skirt was already very short. After it got wet, her body shape was all the more revealing.“Brat, y-y-you just wait!”Young Master Hugo was boiling with rage. He stood up, then spat out a mouthful of blood. The skin on his arm tore and was bleeding. Even his shirt
“Demolish? If that’s the case, shouldn’t we get a bit of compensation?”Fane was distracted for a moment, then followed Selena into the house.At that moment, the living room was very lively. There were a number of workers that were talking to Fiona and Andrew.“Oh my, Selena, what happened to both of you? Why are you covered in dirt?”Seeing Selena and Fane, Joan was shocked, asking quickly.“Ugh, we passed by a puddle earlier and a car did not slow down...so we got splashed!”Selena stuttered with a frown. She was too ashamed to say it. If her mother knew that they offended the terrible Hugo family, how would she react?“Oh my, so this is Miss Taylor!”A middle-aged man stood up cheerfully, then explained, “I’m the worker in charge. It’s like this. This location is being expropriated as it is rather peaceful here. We’re planning to build a retirement home, therefore this house must be demolished!”“Retirement home?”Selena frowned.“That’s right. You can treat it as a contribution to
“Furthermore, we have received complaints that this courtyard was built illegally, do you understand? You’re already lucky that you’re not getting fined. We’re just negotiating to have you move away voluntarily. What makes you think there will be any compensation?”The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, but his words immediately turned the rest and Fiona’s mood foul. This demolition had no compensation?“Impossible. This is our Taylor family’s old mansion. It’s been left uninhabited for many years. My grandfather was the one that told us to stay here. At any rate, there should be a demolition compensation. How is this an illegal building? We’ve been staying here for so many years!”Selena was furious. Her original plan was to come home for a bath, but she was in no mood for that for the time being. The other party was just being unreasonable.“I think the money is there, but you’re just planning to keep it for yourself, right? Hehe, do you know that we’re from the Taylor family?
“Oh my, Young Master Clark, why are you here? It’s been a long time!”Upon seeing Ken with his lackeys, Fiona immediately welcomed them cheerfully.“Hehe, Auntie, it’s not that long. We’ve just met two days ago!”Ken chuckled, then pointed at his teeth. “Look, I’m whistling as I speak. It’s all because of your precious son-in-law!”Fiona’s expression immediately turned awkward. She forced a smile and replied, “Watch what you’re saying. This man is not my son-in-law. We will only find out after the old man’s seventieth birthday in about twenty more days!”Ken was taken aback, his face was filled with surprise. “Auntie, what do you mean by that? They’re already legally married and the kid is a few years old. Why do we need to wait for about 20 more days to find out?”“Yes yes yes!”Fiona immediately nodded. “It’s like this. Let’s not mention the matters back then. It’s like this. After Fane came back, he got into a fight with Young Master Ivan and beat him up.”“After that...that’s why,
Fiona gave it some thought, then finally approached Selena. “Dear, Young Master Clark said that he would like to discuss the matter of this house with you. Go ahead and negotiate with him. This house must not be demolished. If it’s demolished, where would our entire family find a place to stay all of a sudden?”Selena kept silent for a moment, then nodded and walked over.“This house is our family’s old mansion. Although it’s not a registered property, it’s considered a property of our Taylor family. You can’t just demolish it like that!”Selena looked at Young Master Clark in front of her as she stated coldly. Before Fane came back, Young Master Clark would come over to court her all the time. There were a few times that he suggested for her to apply for a death certificate to divorce Fane, then marry him.Although she felt annoyed by this person, he was not that bad in general. At least, the impression Selena had of him was much better than that Michael.She never thought that this
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.
