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
The group of four consisting of Ken, Ivan, Xena, and Neil gathered again.“What actually went wrong? It’s been two days since the day he’s supposed to die. I believe that Xena saw Fane consuming the poison with her own eyes!” Ivan looked at Ken after he spoke. “Young Master Ken, were you lied to by others? Either the poison doesn’t have any effects or it’s expired. If not, Fane wouldn’t only have symptoms like dizziness and weakness.”Ken also started wondering if there was something wrong with his poison after Ivan spoke. He said with a frown on his face, “Could this be possible? I spent a lot of money to buy the poison!”Neil said with a bitter smile. “It doesn’t matter whose responsibility it is and what went wrong. Those aren’t important now. The most important thing is that Fane is still alive and it’s impossible for Ken and I to get Selena’s heart. So, what should we do next?”Ken could not help but smile bitterly. “Sigh, the only thing worth being happy about is that the fou
Although Xena has gotten many benefits from Ivan, such as branded bags and cosmetics but, the thing that made her ecstatic was this villa Ivan bought for her a few days ago.This villa cost Ivan over fifty million and her name was written as the owner. This represented Ivan’s true feelings for her and the property belonged to her. This made her hopeful of the future.Right now, Ivan was asking her to sell the villa and this made her unhappy.Xena’s face darkened and she replied, “You just bought this villa for me several days ago and now you’re asking me to sell it at a cheap rate? You said previously that you will divert money from your company, not sell this house!”Ivan immediately comforted her. “Xena, I’m thinking about our future here. Think about it, Fane is our stumbling block. Selena walked to where she is right now because of Fane’s assistance. Now, she’s not only back in the Taylor family, the old master even said that he’s going to set up a new company and appoint Selen
Xena also understood the situation here. She thought about it and nodded. “Alright, honey, I agree to help you. However, you have to promise me that you’ll buy two villas like this after you’ve inherited the Taylor family’s properties.”“Sure, whatever that belongs to me is yours by then and we will be a family. It would be nothing to buy two houses for you.” Ivan smiled.At this moment, photos of Fane and the Nine Great Gods of War spread to the public. Now everybody knew that there was a man in the Middle Province who could gather all Nine Great Gods of War to have a meal together and this alone, caused a stir in other cities. This was the first time something like this has happened.However, Fane was troubled by what happened these couple of days. Many people came to him, asking for treatment. There were some with very common diseases and these people still came to Fane for treatment. He was speechless about the situation and wondered how much time he would need to spend treating
Finally, twelve scary assassins gathered at an empty land outside of the city. Ken, Neil, Ivan, and the others also went over.“Haha, are you guys looking down at us?” An old man glanced at the killers around them and started laughing coldly. “Who are you guys trying to kill? Even I, the second on the killer list, can’t do it. Why do you need to get so many people here? You even employ the killer who’s first on the killer list?”They obviously felt that the people in front of them were too over the top. They have killed many people and some of them were real masters. However, most of the time, these assassins worked alone and this was the first time so many important assassins from the killer list gathered at the same place.The man who held the third place also started smiling coldly. “Yes, I also wonder why do you need so many masters here. Haha, with all of us here, it wouldn’t be a problem for us to kill a master who is as strong as a seven or eight-stars King of War, right?”“
One of the female assassins frowned and hesitated.They thought that they were being asked to kill a slightly strong King of War. If that was the case, she would not be as pressured about it.They had no idea that these three young masters were asking them to kill Fane, the person who caused a stir in the entire Middle Province and country.“Why? You guys have not fought him yet. Are you all unconfident?” Ken was startled when he saw how these people reacted.He glanced at the old man who was second on the killer list and said, “Didn’t you say that nobody else would be an issue as long as it’s not a God of War? Why do you guys act like this when you hear that it’s Fane…”The old man started smiling bitterly. “Brother, we know this person’s combat power very well. However, he’s not a God of War or a King of War to our knowledge, so I alone would be sufficient to kill him. With that said, do you know what I’m afraid of?” The old man paused before continuing. “If this young man could
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.
