In a flash, Fane and the three beauties had arrived at a hushed and serene restaurant with classy decoration. It was a decent restaurant. The environment was quiet and had pastel aesthetics. Although the price was mildly exorbitant, money to Fane was never a problem. The price did not sway Fane in the slightest. “Alright, ladies. Order whatever you want! It’s my honor to invite three beauties to lunch for the first time!” Fane handed over the menu and enunciated modestly. “I’m only a bodyguard, and three of you are from noble families. Yet, you’re willing to let me treat you to lunch. It’s truly an honor!” Tanya was speechless for a while. This jerk was no ordinary man, and he must be a man of a higher social status than she was. Yet, he was acting all stupid in front of her. It was evident to everyone that this guy was not an ordinary bodyguard. “The prices aren’t cheap at all. Aren’t you worried that fifty thousand bucks won’t be enough?” Yvonne purposely teased Fane afte
Once the thug who had his eyes fixated on Tanya finished his speech, he stretched forth his hand again, trying to stroke her cheek. “F*ck off!” Tanya slapped his hand away, with a look full of disgust plastered on her face. This was the piercing voice that Fane heard a while ago. He entered the restaurant, his face icy-cold. “Heh! You’re some hot-tempered chick, aren’t you? How dare you hit me! Do you know how much you need to compensate for slapping my hand? I was going to ask nicely if you’d agree to hang out with us, but since you hit me, you have no choice but to come with us today. Oh well. Of course, you can choose between hanging out with us or paying me one million bucks for the medical expenses!” The man sneered. Since Tanya had hit his hand, he decided to threaten her. “One million bucks is like a peanut to me, it means nothing! But for some jerk like you, dream on!” Tanya shot up from her seat and leaped forward slightly, trying to push the thug away. “F*cking
The four rascals in front of Fane thought that he would be scared of them after revealing their tattoos. However, not only did Fane show no sign of fear, he even said some things that made the corners of their mouths twitch. Did this punk not recognize the tattoo?“Little brat, aren’t you afraid? Hah! The streets around this area are our territories! We’re from the Wolf Fang Gang! The man pointed to the tattoo on his chest and announced proudly, “Although we don’t have a lot of members in the Wolf Fang Gang, each gang member is as ruthless as wild wolves! Offending us is equivalent to digging your own grave!” Another one chimed in, “If you understand the situation, you’d make yourself disappear! Besides, this chick provoked Brother Felix. If not, Brother Felix wouldn’t have shoved her!” “I understand. Hmmm. Then, do you know who I am? Also, do you know who this lady is? Are you guys dumb or what? How dare you push this young miss!” Fane chuckled and responded nonchalantly. “Do
“Boss, we… We’re sorry, we made a mistake. We’ll get out of your hair and let you be with this chick, alright?” Another man feebly knelt before Fane once he got over the initial sting of pain.Frowning, Fane coldly snapped, “What are you talking about? I’m Miss Tanya’s bodyguard! How dare you!”“Y—Yes, of course…! This honorable and pretty lady must be Miss Tanya. You’re such a powerful bodyguard. Now I see why she needed only one bodyguard with her all this time… You’re basically a one-man army, with the power of a hundred men!” spoke the man as he quivered, and he wiped the cold sweat off of his forehead from time to time.If the beautiful woman they intended to take advantage of was indeed the Drake family’s Miss Tanya, members of the Wolf Fang Gang would not even mutter a word if they were killed right here. The Drake family was the most prominent family; small groups like them were not qualified to even fight back.“Boss, please let us go,” Felix begged Fane. “Can we show ours
“Selena, you’re so pretty! This professional suit looks so classy on you!” Sharon looked at Selena and enviously added, “It’s no wonder that Fane loves you so much. I adore him so badly, but he’s cold and indifferent toward me!”An awkward smile appeared on Selena’s face. “Sharon, Fane isn’t as good as how you’ve imagined him to be. He has a rather cold face sometimes, and he does things too earnestly. Apart from that, he’s not a romantic person and can be rather violent. He likes to settle everything with his fists. You like him so much because you don’t know him all too well just yet.”Of course, Selena said all these things to Sharon so she could give up.Although Sharon was a nice and rather wealthy person, Fane was her man. As his wife, how could Selena not have any selfish motives?Apart from that, she felt that she should get Sharon to give up if Fane was uninterested in her.“Really?” came Sharon’s reply, her smile still on her face as she did. “I feel that everything he d
“Come, let’s drink some wine!” said Tanya with a smile on her face as she raised her glass of wine. “After all, the people from the so-called Wild Wolf Gang are paying for this entire table. It’ll be a waste if we don’t finish the wine we ordered, and we’ve ordered quite a few bottles!”“Alright,” chorused Yvonne as she raised her own glass, “come on!” Yvonne grinned.All five of them started drinking.Though still bitter about Fane, Sharon spoke, “Fane, it’s alright that you don’t like me, but I have to tell you this: If ever the day comes that you regret your words, come find me. I’m willing to be your second wife and be by your side everyday. I won’t cause you any trouble, and I’ll even get along with Selena!”Fane cleared his throat at Sharon’s bold proclamation. “Ahem, ahem! Sharon, you’re still young, and life’s still long. You’ll meet someone who you’ll genuinely like in the future, I’m sure of it,” he spoke before he sipped his wine.“Still young? Still young?! I’m not you
“Aah!” Whitey roared in pain. The veins on his forehead bulged out while the color of his face was drained.“Hit him!” came Whitey’s thunderous order to his subordinates, all while he gritted his teeth.“Brother Anguis, this…” His subordinates were downright frightened as they were met with Fane’s icy glare. Judging from Fane’s all-too-quick attack, he was no simpleton. Although they had the numbers, they might not be able to fight him.“Get out. Don’t destroy my mood,” growled Fane as he noted that more people were surrounding them, and many of the new customers were glancing at them. Felix immediately looked at Fane in anticipation when he heard this. “B—Boss, how about us? Can we go now?”“Scram! Every one of you can get lost! Looking at you guys gives me a headache!” Fane looked at him impatiently and waved his hand.“Okay! I’ll show myself out now!” Felix was all too happy when he heard this as he immediately nodded and stood up with his subordinates.“Are you guys dumb? W
Selena nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, she felt that what Sharon said about Fane—that a strong sense of security could be felt when she was around him—was very true.…Selena returned to her office for work after she finished her meal. Meanwhile, Fane and the others took a walk around that area before returning to the Drake family’s mansion.Fane rested in the room the Drake family arranged for him upon their return. He was ready to drive home at around five or six o’clock in the afternoon.Meanwhile, in the Clark family’s mansion…Flynn was extremely happy when he saw his cousin, Ken, entering the room. He immediately asked, “How did it go, Ken? Is Fane dead? What’s the situation of his body? Didn’t you say that he already drank the poison? I remember you guys have gone to Sky Dragon City to search for the strong martial artists of the Xenos family too, right?”Flynn believed Fane was physically weakening day by day, since it had been two to three days since he consumed
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.
