“Heh. Of course! I rarely swing around these parts!”Adam and Riley grinned before they walked to one side, away from her.With disbelief, Riley lowly spoke under his breath, “Seriously, Adam? Why did you have to use the same story as I did?” “I didn’t think this could happen. Why would you say something like that? I also noticed that everyone gave us strange looks... Don’t tell me that they gave the same story too? No one’s going to believe us if that’s the case!” Adam felt lost at that moment.“Right? We’ll draw suspicion if we all give the same story, and Master won’t be happy if his identity as the Supreme Warrior is revealed!” At that moment, William’s voice was heard as he walked over, a small smile on his face as he did.“The only one left is Ethan. Let’s hope he doesn’t use the same story!”Abner flashed a bitter smile as he joined them. “Regardless, it doesn’t matter if they’re suspicious about us. They can’t just interrogate us about the matter, right? Of course, M
The crowd held their breath for a moment when they heard what Ethan had said to Fane. Ethan Haays, the miraculous doctor who possessed incredible medical knowledge, came and asked Fane to teach him the art of medicine? Would that not mean Fane was even more skilled than him in the medical field? Fiona could no longer stand idly by the sidelines and went up to them. “Sir Haays, are you saying that my son-in-law’s medical skills are even better than yours? It can’t be true, right? You’ve been called a miracle doctor, a divine doctor!” blurted Fiona. Ethan knew that the woman before him was Fane’s mother-in-law, hence he gave her a bright smile and replied, “Yes, Auntie, his medical skills are spectacular!” Ethan paused for a moment before he added, “Just think about it: All these highly honored Gods of War had been injured in the battlefield, and not a minor one at that. It’s logical that no ordinary doctor could treat them, and only a highly skilled doctor could do that. Not onl
As Xena mulled over the matter, Fane had taken out the necklace from the box and placed it around Selena’s neck. “What?!” Xena could feel her blood rapidly rushing through her veins in enthusiasm and her breaths labored at the sight of the necklace. Her eyes felt like it would pop out of their sockets. That necklace… It was the Heart of the Abyss! Some time ago, there was a rumor that that exorbitant necklace was bought by a mysterious tycoon. Xena never thought that the mysterious buyer was Fane all along! “The Heart of the Abyss!” “Oh my freaking god! It’s the Heart of the Abyss!” “So it was Fane who bought it! Oh my… Oh my! It’s hella expensive!” Many of the ladies among the crowd—who usually used luxurious products—gasped and gushed excitedly at the necklace before them. They were obsessed with the necklace. Selena’s eyelids flipped open at the sound of gasps and excitement from the crowd. She glanced down to look at the necklace that dangled around her neck...
Those who could join the group photos were only those from first-class families and people of such status, like James Drake. This made Ken, Neil, and the others envious as they were not qualified to join. As Ivan was from the Taylor family, he could join the photograph session. Xena, on the other hand, merely tagged behind Ivan and stood at the back corner. Even if it was just a photo and she barely knew any of them, it was still an honor and a pleasure for Xena. “Hubby… I still feel that this necklace is too expensive. How about we find an opportunity to sell it?” Once the photos were taken, Selena gazed at the Heart of the Abyss wound around her neck. Her feelings overwhelmed her so much that she blurted her worries to Fane. Selena’s words stunned Fane. He leaned close to Selena and whispered to her ear, “Honey, I’ll be honest: Such a necklace wasn’t expensive at all, and you now have nearly ten billion in your pocket. It’s not that much at all, you see. Try to think of it th
“From today onward, whenever the Nine Great Gods of War, Mr. and Mrs. Woods, as well as their family, come to our hotel, it will be free!” The owner of the hotel smiled blandly and announced the benefits. “Wow, that’s fantastic! Dear, we can come here often to eat all for free!” Fiona could barely conceal her delight that she practically yelled into Andrew’s ear. Andrew’s face dulled in return. “Will you really come often? It’s okay if you come once in a while, but if you do often, won’t you feel embarrassed? Moreover, the money that the Nine Great Gods of War have given Selena today is already nine billion bucks with the rest given by others, we’ll get around ten billion, right? We have so much money now, you can’t afford to pay for a meal?” Only then did realization hit Fiona that she and her family, indeed, were rich enough now. There was no need to take advantage of such a perk. Nevertheless, she rolled her eyes at Andrew and uttered, “What do you know? This represents
Cecilia got angrier the more she thought about it, but she could not do anything about it either. She could only clench her teeth and comfort herself with the knowledge that Fane was going to die soon. He was probably going to explode to death at any time. She needed to see how he died. Only, they had already finished their meal, and Fane and the others on the opposite quickly finished theirs as well. Judging from the huge screen, asides from the slight redness in his cheeks from drinking plenty of wine, he did not seem to be having any other adverse reactions. “Strange. Didn’t they say that he would die today? It’s already late in the afternoon. He’s not even showing the slightest symptom. What on earth is Ivan doing? Did he lie to me?” Cecilia frowned, pondering on the matter. She thought about it. Then she silently crept to the side and called Ivan. Ivan, Ken, and the others were all waiting for Fane to drop dead onto the floor as well—to see the sight of his rotten body.
Ivan flashed a bitter smile. “Ah, we have no choice. Who knew that Fane would pull a stunt like this, getting the nine Gods of War to come for his wedding!” Cecilia thought for a while, then she asked, “So you’re saying that the eight other Gods of War are all at his wedding because they wanted to boost his reputation? They’re not here because they wanted to see Lana?” Ivan was speechless for a moment. “Of course. They could have seen her at any time they wanted. Why would they choose today, of all days? They’re here because of Fane!” “But how does a good-for-nothing like Fane, know such people? No way that he saved all of their lives before, in addition to Lana’s!” Cecilia huffed. She really could not understand why the Gods of War would come from afar for the sake of Fane’s reputation—just to attend his and Selena’s wedding. “That man isn’t a good-for-nothing. Besides, you’re right on the nail. With his medical skills, he’s become the designated doctor for the Gods of War.
Ivan comforted Xena when he saw her getting angry. “It’s not that I don’t believe in you but why does this guy seem to be in such a good shape?”Xena also frowned. “Doesn’t he have very good medical skills? Didn’t Ethan Haays say that he needs to consult Fane on certain things too? Fane modestly said that it’s an excuse but I don’t think that the miracle-working doctor Ethan Haays is lying about things!” Xena paused before continuing speaking. “Is it possible that this guy has really good medical skills, so he has removed the poison from his body?”Ivan was also surprised when he heard this. Yes, what if Fane really did it? After all, he’s not a normal doctor and has really strong medical skills. If not, how could he be the one to treat the Nine Great Gods of War?However, Ivan soon shook his head. “I don’t think that it’s possible. I’ve asked Ken and the others about this poison. The poison hides in the blood and will be undiscoverable in the beginning. Apart from that, there are n
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.
