”Why run? Why do we need to worry when Fane is so strong? Apart from that, our Taylor family…” Ivan smiled coldly and said without much care.He had no idea the seriousness of what was happening.“Haha, you’re back? Today is the day of your death!” Lucas Lambert turned around and looked at Ivan coldly. The coldness in his eyes caused people to feel uncomfortable.“You…You are…” Ivan originally had a smile on his face but his smile soon froze and his expression was replaced by horror.Although it happened five years ago and this man had slightly matured over the years, Ivan still recognized him.“Sh*t, they are from Gin City!” Ivan was extremely frightened. These people had so much power years ago, this meant that they were from an influential family. They must be quite confident as they dared come looking for him.He wanted to escape after he spoke.Whoosh!The opponent waved his sword and a scary sword aura rushed toward Ivan.“No!” Theodore yelled out loudly. He knew how sca
“What are you standing there for? Go save the young master!” Theodore immediately yelled. “Die!” Many bodyguards from the Taylor family cried out and rushed forward. “What’s going on?” At long last, the ten beautiful bodyguards in Fane’s house—who was on the opposite side—noticed the ruckus that was going on and rushed over as well. “Let–let me go. I was wrong!” Ivan was extremely frightened. His opponents were far too strong; he was no match for them. “Just die!” With his fiancée keeping Fane at bay, Lucas did not have an ounce of worry in him. He swung his sword and killed Ivan. “No!” Theodore cried out at the sight of his own son dying before his eyes. He fainted straightaway. “Master!” Many members of the Taylor family propped Theodore up. Selena’s fists were clenched tight. She was worried. Fane was gripped with anxiety when he noticed the Taylor family’s bodyguards and Orchid and the others rushing over. After all, these four people were strong fight
“Don’t go!” Orchid, who was about to rush forward, immediately told Elain and the others to stop when she heard Fane’s words. She surmised that those four people were not any regular people. Fane would not have stopped them from going over otherwise. It meant that even if they went, not only would they not be of much help, they would probably be killed too. Of course, it was not difficult for Fane to kill all four, but he had purposely slowed himself down so that he seemed like he could not save Ivan. The Taylor family would seriously suspect him if he finished the four of them off quickly and easily now. That was why he needed to control himself now. He would kill them, but he would make it seem as though it were a close call—as though he were using all his skills and strength. “Let’s come together and kill him! How dare he hurt Snow!” The man named Lucas huffed. Suddenly, the four surrounded Fane. Still, Fane and the others did not know that an old man and a young w
Plenty of eyewitnesses had spectated the bloody fight between martial artists. The people from Gin City would surely investigate the matter if those four people died, and they would find out everything that had transpired. The Taylor family would be in big trouble then. Selena noted the old man’s expression and said, “Grandpa, why are you sighing? It seems like Fane will be able to eliminate them all!” Fiona and the others also stared at him, confused. “There are way too many powerful organizations in Gin City. Even if you eliminate the all-powerful Ten Families there, the families that are slightly weaker than them are still plenty strong. The Lamberts are so strong, and their elders are all extremely powerful. We’ll be offending a great power if they die!” Old Man Taylor sighed and added, “But Fane has to kill them now, considering the circumstances. There’s no other way out of this.” Slam! Bam! Pow! The fight was just as intense as before, and it was not long until Fan
“They’re from Gin City? That’s troublesome... There are plenty of skilled fighters among the powerful families.” Orchid’s expression turned grave when she heard that. “It’s a pity that they didn’t send all their experts when they started the fight. We would’ve won a long time ago otherwise.” “Quick, get rid of the bodies.” Old Man Taylor instructed his subordinates to handle the bodies. People would instantly pick up the mayhem that went down the longer it was left unresolved. It would be far easier for the Lambert family if they came here to investigate Lucas and the others’ deaths. Old Man Taylor took a moment to himself as he sorted out his thoughts before he spoke to Theodore, “Ivan met his doom today because of how he provoked them five years ago, Theodore. None of this would’ve happened if he hadn’t tried to fool around with another man’s fiancée. I myself never thought that they’d come looking for him after all these years when they found out that he wasn’t dead.” Theo
Joan could not be bothered with her. She took Selena and Fane to the center of the garden of their villa. Fane began the conversation before his mother could, “Mom, did that old man and that woman come looking for you? Did they tell you to say something to me?” She smiled. “You’re right. You guessed it before I even said anything.” “What old man? What woman?” Selena was perplexed, clueless as to what they were talking about. Joan turned toward Selena and said, “Selena, there’s something that we’ve never told you before. Fane’s father isn’t dead yet… He’s still alive. His name is Nash Woods.” “What?!” Selena inhaled sharply, utterly shocked to the core, and it took her a long while to recover. “So now he’s back looking for Fane?” blurted Selena. “Both of you knew long ago that he was still alive?” Joan nodded her head. “How do we put this...? There are plenty of powerful associations in this world, like the Ten Noble Families of Gin City. They’re considered plenty strong
“Really? I don’t know what to say about Nash Woods... Sure, he sacrificed a lot for his family, but he’s not a responsible father!” Selena heaved a sigh after she heard that. “Mother, did Nash at least give you money when he told you to leave?” she asked Joan. “Did he know that you were carrying Fane?” Joan’s lips curved into a wry smile. “He never dared to tell Lily when Fane was born, but he did arrange a house for us. He’d come and visit us from time to time and give us some money, but when Fane was about five or six years old, he finally mustered up the courage to tell Lily everything… And she was absolutely livid. She, along with members of the Lagorio and Woods families, came and chased us away. She told us to get away as far as we could.” Fane’s expression hardened. “But after so many years, he managed to accumulate great power for himself,” explained Joan. “He didn’t know where we went after we left, but I believe he could’ve found us very quickly if he wanted to. Sadly,
“Me? Taking over their business? Not happening. The Woods family won’t agree to it. Lily has a son with him, and that woman won’t let this happen even if it kills her.” Fane was dumbfounded once more. “Besides, what illness could Nash possibly have? Can’t they just treat him, considering the Woods family’s circumstances now?” “I don’t know what illness it is, but all the butler told me was that your father would only last another three months. “As for the Woods family, the elders and quite a few of their family members all want you to go back. Lily and Nash’s son went into an uncharted forest along with the sons of other great families, but they never came back out. The Woods family even searched for them extensively but never found them. They’ve probably been eaten by wild creatures.” Joan gave a bitter smile. “You’re the only son Nash has now,” she said to Fane. “Of course he, along with members from the Woods family, would want you back to take charge. Of course, Lily and 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.
