The head of the Gold family took out a bank card and passed it to Cecilia’s mother with a smile.Cecilia’s mother was extremely happy. She took the card and spoke with a smile. “This...this is too generous. I feel embarrassed to receive such a huge amount of betrothal gift!”“Haha... Cecilia’s mother, you’ve raised Cecilia all these years into an adult and has done a good job. It’s not easy to raise someone into an adult with an honorable character. Our entire family is very satisfied with Cecilia!” The Head of the Gold family started laughing.“That’s right. Cecilia is always very obedient. She also looks beautiful and has an honorable character. Apart from that, she’s a university student and had rejected many young masters who pursued her. In the end, she had her eyes on Young Master Gold and this might be their fate!” Cecilia’s mother placed the bank card into her pocket, glanced at Selena, and said with a smile. “It’s such a waste for the prettiest woman in our Taylor family to
”Haha, change to another day? Why do I need to change my wedding to another day? Why don’t your daughter change it to another day?” Cecilia’s expression immediately turned cold after she heard this. She said unhappily, “I chose this date after much effort and thoughts. How can you ask me to simply change it?”Fiona was not stupid and she realized that the other party was definitely doing this on purpose. She refuted, “That’s my daughter’s birthday. How can she simply change her date? You’re getting married. There’s no difference if you get married a month later or a few days earlier, right?”“Haha, birthdays can be held several days earlier too. Why do I need to make way for her? Is my wedding not as important as her birthday?” It was natural for Cecilia to not want to change her wedding date. She even said, “Her birthday can be celebrated every year but my wedding is only held once. How can I simply change the date?”Old Master Taylor also frowned and said to Cecilia after he thoug
She said with a smile. “Fane doesn’t have much money with him. The most he has is seven to eight million and the advertisement should have taken him at least two to three million. Hence, he’s only left with five to six million. He wouldn’t be able to do anything extravagant. An advertisement is actually a boastful act. He doesn’t have other disadvantages apart from liking to boast.”“He only spent two to three million, right? How about this, I’ll pay you five million and the rest is your compensation. So that the others would not say that our Gold family bullied you guys!” Kelly hugged his arms in front of his chest and looked down condescendingly and arrogantly.“Sure, that’s agreed then. We’ll change to another day.” Fiona nodded continuously and agreed to it.However, Young Master Gold said, “Whatever you say doesn’t mean anything. I want your son-in-law to nod and whatever he says, counts. Got it? After all, he’s the one who spent the money and did the advertisement.”Fiona shr
”Haha, what a character. You’re really a soldier, your bones are harder than anything else.” Kelly started laughing after he heard this. “Since you don’t want to change your dates and we don’t want that too. Then let’s do it on the same day. It’s actually not a big deal to hold both events on the same day, as long as you guys don’t regret it.”The head of the Gold family also started laughing. “Since he doesn’t want fifty million, we don’t need to continue persuading him. Our Gold family is also one of the best among all second-class aristocratic families. I believe that many people will come to my son’s wedding. At that time, some people will regret it!”“Haha, that may not be the case. Master Gold, you need to think about it carefully. If you hold the wedding on the same day as us, the people regretting it might be you!” Fane smiled and said without much care.“Haha, that’s quite fun. Let’s hold it on the same day. I want to see how you stir up the city then.” The head of the Gold
Old Master Taylor roared in laughter and said, “I already called Fangus and he said he was quite busy as he had to work overtime.”At this point, he looked at Andrew Taylor and said, “Oh yes, Andrew, why is Ben not here? I feel like I haven't seen him in these few days.”Andrew smiled indifferently and said, “Dad, Ben opened an internet cafe just a few days ago. Of course, he would be busy. He hasn’t been home in these two days.”Grandpa Taylor smiled satisfactorily and said, “This kid finally knows how to make money. Looks like he’s finally grown out of his games too!”Hearing Grandpa Taylor praising his son, Fiona smiled and said, “Yeah, our Ben is quite hardworking. He used to be young and raw, making mistakes here and there but now he’s really grown out of it.”“Oh, I heard you guys hired ten bodyguards, and that all of them are beautiful and long-legged.”Cecilia looked at Fane and said, “Let me guess. Fane was the one who hired them? You hiring bodyguards or going for a pag
Fane could not even believe that a gamble was at stake. He said, “Of course, as to how much we should bet, why don’t you suggest it, since it's all your idea.”Kelly heard and laughed cooly. He said, “Good, then I won’t quote such a high price-in case you lose, you can’t say that I am bullying you and you can’t pay up! Since you still have a couple of millions, let’s bet ten million per round?”“Ten million per round? Isn’t that too much? If we lose a few rounds, then what do we do? We still need money for our daughter's wedding dinner!”Fiona heard this and got a shock of her life. “Yeah, that’s a bit much, Kelly. It’s not good to gamble such a large amount. Let’s just do a hundred thousand per round.” Joan was so shocked that she had stood up by the table and quipped.“Ha, ha, aunty, why are you even joking around? How will ten million even hurt me? Ten million isn’t even appropriate for someone of my status.”Kelly laughed cooly and said, “Don’t forget, it's your son who aske
#The nine bodyguards arrived at the Taylor family hall very swiftly. “Since we’re done with our meal, let’s go! Let’s see whose bodyguards are better.” Seeing that everyone was done with their meal, the head of the Gold family stood up and said.“Ha, ha, dad, just look at these ladies. They all have such supple and smooth skin, beautiful and fair long legs. How can they compare to our family bodyguards?”Kelly looked at Orchid and the group and furrowed his brow. He said, “That’s weird. Why are there only nine? I thought you had ten bodyguards?”Orchid looked at Kelly and said cooly, “Elaine went to take care of Ben, that’s why there are only nine of us.”“Ah what a shame, well looks like we’re missing out on ten million!” Kelly said breathily.“Ten million?” Orchid and her group looked perplexed.Fane walked before them and said, “Mister Gold doesn't look highly upon you ladies. He thinks you’re all just pretty faces and I’ve hired you to wait on me. I think you should make hi
“You…”Fiona was really angry, but she held herself back as she considered Gold’s background. She retreated, fuming.Fane did not say much. He looked at Orchid and the ladies and smiled, “All the best, I’ll buy you guys a meal when you win tomorrow.”“Really? That will be amazing, thanks boss!” Orchid and the ladies smiled.One of the ladies walked in front and jostled her fists at the men. “Who first?”“Ha, ha, let me go at it! I love this scene. What a nice body figure you have, good breasts and bum.” A tan man laughed and walked forward. He almost salivated, “Pretty girl, you’re going to be begging for your life later. If you beg for your life and I don’t kill you, how will you repay me? After all, I am a man who treats women right.”The lady looked at him and smiled cooly, “Well, you can also beg me for your life. If you beg, I won’t kill you.”“Max, you better win this okay? I am betting ten million on each of you!” Kelly reminded the men from the sidelines.“Don’t worry,
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.
