In the end, Kelly had no other option but to return to Gold’s residence, with his gloomy face. The head of the Gold family frowned when Kelly appeared in his sight. He then asked, “What’s the matter? You look upset!” “I went to Fane's villa to persuade those bodyguards to leave Fane and come work with us. But everything is in vain!” Kelly explained, smiling bitterly. “Heh? Are you sure? How much do they earn per month now?” Ezra—the head of the Gold family—was slightly startled. The thought of an unsuccessful persuasion had never crossed his mind. Was it because Fane paid them incredibly high? “Only twenty thousand per month!” A wry smile on Kelly’s face as he responded. “Twenty thousand? Are you freaking kidding me? They only earn twenty thousand a month, and you couldn’t even get them to leave Fane? It should be a piece of cake!” Ezra’s facial expression morphed into one of unpleasant surprise, his eyes were as large as saucers. “Father, they claimed proudly that
Elaine snorted coldly, a closed-lip smile formed at the corners of her mouth, a frosty one. “Ahem! Fane, since it’s a rare opportunity to gather everyone for lunch, today the bill is on me!” Out of sudden, Fiona blurted, followed by a giggly laugh. Fane and Selena instantly looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief. The thought of Fiona being generous and treating everyone to lunch with her own money had never crossed their minds. “Mother, are you sure? I’ll pay for it, alright? Don’t worry about it!” A pretentious modesty appeared on Fane’s face, he smiled and offered to pay. “Heh! I’m just so happy today. Besides, I’m loaded now, no longer the old Fiona—poor and impecunious. It’s only lunch, I’ll pay for it!” Fiona chortled in return, her mood obviously high and good. “Tsk tsk, it’s not easy for a person to change, Ma. You used to be such a stingy person. You wouldn’t pay even if someone gave you money. I never imagined that you would suddenly have the consci
“Judging from the strength needed to kill that many men, it’s almost certain that he’s a King of War. And we’ve been deciphering his modus operandi over and over, and all our men died by a clean break to the neck. It’s definitely done by a single person. Doesn’t seem like anyone else helped!” Lee’s expression darkened. “Because of this, we suffered heavy losses and our position dropped a lot. Two of our territories had been snatched away by other Halls!” When Hector heard this, his features twisted into an unreadable expression. “Heh. Master Neuman, don’t tell me you want to get my help to take your territories back? They probably aren’t worth much if they’re just small areas, right? Besides, this is a matter of the Eagle Clan. What does it have to do with Green Sky Hall?” Lee laughed aloud. “We won’t trouble you for this. I’ve managed to recruit quite a few fighters lately. One of them is even stronger than Baldy when he first started out. That’s why we’ve already managed to tak
“Oh, really? Why don’t you tell me about it?” Lee was slightly taken aback. He never thought that Fane would meet the Green Sky Hall for anything else other than the whole outcry over what they had done to Tiger. At this moment, the master of the Green Sky Hall took a step forward. “This is what happened. Our men are also involved in another business,” he explained. “We don’t just make business within the country, but we trade with a foreign organization as well. We secretly take pictures of women and sell them…” After Lee heard the entire story, he spoke up in a huff, “Fane really went overboard. This has nothing to do with him. It’s natural for him to ask for compensation from you because of what happened to Tiger, but you guys didn’t even take pictures of his wife. Why did he have to get so worked up about it!” “Right? This incident really pissed me off too!” Hector’s expression hardened, then his gaze sidled toward Lee. This entire affair was between him and Fane. He was
“Heh. Can you really stand it, Hector? This is a colossal loss for you! Have you really thought about it? At any rate, I’ve got some grudges against the kid!” Lee chuckled, although he was a little unhappy. He had thought that the master of the Green Sky Hall would agree to cooperate with him. After all, Fane had bullied him practically to death. He never expected that Hector would choose to compromise himself at this moment. “Master Neuman, what happened to the Green Sky Hall is a little different from what happened to yours. The Eagle Clan lost 300 men. They were your precious comrades, so I understand if you want to kill Fane!” Hector released a breath. He picked up his cup from the table and sipped from it. “However, no one from our side has died,” he said slowly, “only two of our men were critically injured. One had his leg broken, and the other had his d*ck rendered useless. So we didn’t lose any men, and we’ve only lost a bit of money. There’s no need for us to provoke a
“Why are we still meeting them then, if they’re not that reliable and can’t guarantee us victory?” The elder furrowed his brows and asked again. Lee gave a bitter smile. “Wouldn’t it be better if we made an ally with the Wilson family while we’re forming an alliance with Green Sky Hall? Firstly, let’s go meet the Wilson family and propose an alliance. But don’t rush it. We’ll plan our next move once we have Green Sky Hall in the alliance!” “But won’t it be difficult to get Green Sky Hall onboard? Hector already expressed that he didn’t want to face Fane with us just now!” A middle-aged woman chimed in, frowning, “Unless you have some other plan in mind, Master?” “Hah. Of course, I have a plan!” Lee burst into guffaws. “It’s impossible that Hector doesn’t hate Fane. He just wants to watch from the side-lines because he fears that we are no match for Fane. He even reminded us of the Wilson family on purpose, hoping that we will cooperate with them and get rid of Fane. As for
“That–that’s great!” Michael heaved an internal sigh of relief when he heard that. “Master, the Eagle Clan is here to pay you a visit!” Right at this moment, a bodyguard ran in and reported, “The master of the Eagle Clan is here, along with his fighters!” David and Michael exchanged a glance. They were confused. “F*ck. What does the Eagle Clan want from us? Organizations that operate in the day like us has never had anything to do with Halls like theirs!” David frowned. The Eagle Clan could not be easily provoked. They were far stronger than a second-class aristocratic family like his. Their sudden appearance at his doorstep made him anxious. “Dad, don’t tell me that one of our men offended the Eagle Clan so they’re here to see us now? It’ll be troublesome if that happens. It won’t be easy to deal with them!” Michael was worried as well. David looked at the bodyguard. “Tell me, were they extremely angry when they arrived?” he asked. The bodyguard shook his head. “No
When Lee noticed that David was raising the issue, he said, “To be honest, you know as well as I do that the Eagle Clan has suffered heavy losses before this. We lost 300 men, and we’ve been searching for the culprit behind their murders. We must avenge their deaths by killing him!” “Oh? So did you find him?” David’s heart nearly skipped a beat. He said, “Master Neuman, why are you here then? Heh. Don’t tell me that you suspect one of us? Your 300 men were all elites from the headquarter. One of them was even one of the Four Fighters from the Eagle Clan. We certainly don’t have the means to have a man slaughter so many people!” “It’s all a misunderstanding! You misunderstood me, Master Wilson,” Lee replied hurriedly. “I don’t want to cause any trouble by coming to you. I wanted to cooperate with you!” Here, Lee paused for a while and cast a glance toward Michael, who stood to the side. “According to our investigations, Fane was the one who killed our 300 men,” he continued. “Th
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.
