“Sign…Sign the contract?” The manager was taken aback. Never in his life had he seen such a quick purchase. “Stop gibbering! I don’t have much time. I still need to buy some house supplies later and I’ll have to move in this afternoon. Do you want to sell or not?” Fane, on the other hand, did not entertain the manager further but shot him a deadly glare. Fane was impatient. The manager was dumbfounded once again. “Of course, Sir! Just that I’ve never seen such a generous person like you!” The manager returned with a smile on his face, meanwhile, the salesgirl was getting the contract over for the transaction. A small smile appeared on Fane’s face as he said to the manager, “By the way, all these sales must be credited to this young salesgirl. This is because she is the one who served us well. Don’t you dare to steal her credit!” The young salesgirl was touched when she heard Fane’s words that she almost cried. This couple was so kind-hearted that they thought of the low p
“She’s been here less than a month, so what’s wrong with that? Her sales and performance today is something you can’t achieve. You two were with her just now at the entrance, why didn’t the two of you bother serving the two customers and make such a sale?” The manager retorted. He could not be bothered by their resentment instead, he left to report to the general manager about today’s incident. The two saleswomen exchanged glances. Right now, they could not feel anything at all other than regrets. Meanwhile, at this time in Gin City, the head of the Lambert family, as well as Patronum and the elders, were gathered together. “We couldn’t get hold of Lucas. I’m afraid that something bad has happened. We’ve been trying to contact him for these past few days. And it’s not just him, we couldn’t keep in touch with the other three too. The head of Freeman has been coming over to ask us the whereabouts of his daughter—Snow Freeman. Snow went with Lucas and it’s Lambert’s responsibility
Fane and the others went out to buy daily supplies before shopping for a new car. They then started moving happily.At the same time, in one of the villas located in the villa neighborhood, a beautiful superstar could not help it but to complain to another beauty. “This is so weird. I saw the developer ordering for a wall to be built on my way back. When I went over to enquire about the situation they told me that somebody had bought 20 villas in one go and asked them to build a wall to surround the area!”“20 villas?!” The beauty on the other side inhaled deeply. “This person must be rich and powerful to be able to afford so many villas. Well, there are so many rich people here in the Swallow city that this is considered as normal!”The other beautiful lady pursed her lips and started complaining, “It’s quite normal but you weren’t there to see it yourself. After this person puts up the wall, the afforested area that we can carry out activities in will be reduced. I bought this pro
Beside Tianna’s, Blake was also struggling to break free from these people. The both of them were leaving the house to go shopping. They had sunglasses on and did not have any bodyguards with them. Who knew that they would meet with such an awful incident as soon they stepped out of the house.“How dare these people kidnap commoners under broad daylight?” Lana could not help and started scolding. She stepped forward and kicked a small pebble she saw by the road. The pebble flew forward and hit one of the men’s thigh.“Ah!” The man was in so much pain that he almost knelt on the ground.“Who did that? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” The man was extremely angry. He turned his head around and his eyes lit up when he saw Lana running toward him angrily. “Oh my, it’s a sexy and pretty lady!”“Are you suicidal? Bring this one with us, maybe our director will like her too!” Another man said with a smile on his face.“That’s right! She has such a nice body. Haha, she might just
The startled Blake’s face turned crimson red when she saw Fane reaching out his hand toward her chest.How bold of him—she was a famous superstar!Had she not known Fane was a decent man and Selena was not with them at that moment, Blake might have thought that Fane was a pervert that tried to take advantage of her.Blake’s heart raced, out of control.Still, she did not step back with the belief that Fane was not trying to take advantage of her.Selena frowned, curious as to what Fane would do. Fane merely smiled as he freed a button on Blake.“Ah!” yelped Blake, blush searing her face as she crossed her arms at her chest. Her collar was exposed after Fane unfastened one button.“A tapping and locator device.” Fane smiled coldly and, with just a small force, crushed the button between his fingers. Everyone saw a small chip hidden among the broken button’s remnants. “How’s that possible? It’s so small and...” Blake took a sharp intake of breath, shuddering at the thought.
“You… You’re really rich!” said the grinning Tianna.“Alright then, Brother Fane. Please do join us for dinner when we invite all of you!” Blake smiled and walked back to their houses with Tianna. “I need to go back and change.”“Alright!” Fane nodded and agreed with a smile. After all, they were famous A-class celebrities, and it would be ungentlemanly if he kept refusing them when they repeatedly mentioned they would like to thank him with a meal.“It seems that Swallow City isn’t such a peaceful place, too!” exclaimed Selena as the three of them walked on.“That’s fair. This place is also known as the City of Martial Arts as many masters and powerful people gather here. There’s constant news about how powerful clans or families grow or are wiped out,” remarked Lana with a smile on her face.“City of Martial Arts? Swallow City has such a name?” Selena frowned; she had never heard of that before. “Oh, Sister Selena doesn't know about this yet. There are quite a lot of powerful
The butler, Titus Woods gazed at his master, Nash Woods, who laid on the bed. Titus nodded solemnly. “We managed to see them, but they refused to come back with us. Moreover, they gave us no clear answer on whether they’ll come here or when they’ll come.”Disappointment welled in Nash’s eyes when Titus relayed that piece of information. “It’s all my fault… I’ve wronged them. I just didn’t realize that Fane would hate me so much that he refuses to come back and see me one last time, knowing that I’m going to die. Sigh, this has to be my retribution, isn’t it?”However, different from what he imagined, Titus spoke again, “Master, I believe that the young master will return because before we left, Joan told us that Fane has something important to do and needs time to think about it. I believe that Fane will come back to see you, but it might take some time, no sooner than now.”“Is that true?” The corners of Nash’s eyes grew moist when he heard that. “That’s… That’s good to hear! I hav
“There’s more. Five years ago, Joan was severely ill and needed one million for a surgery…” Titus then went on to tell Nash everything that had happened to Fane and Joan five years ago. Nash’s fists balled tightly as he gritted his teeth in anger. He supported his body and sat up with the remaining strength he had in him left. “How dare she get someone to act as the butler and even humiliate Fane! I never knew he knelt for one whole night! Lily, you’re really too cruel!” With that, Nash ordered, “Beth, bring the elders here. I have to kill Lily and that Yvette Lagorio! How dare she pretend to be the butler?!”Nash knew right away the ‘fat woman’ Titus spoke of was Lily’s personal maid, Yvette Lagorio. She was Lily’s maid when Lily married into the Woods family and had always been under Lily’s lead, loyal to a fault.“Master, we can’t do that!” Titus was surprised when he heard this and immediately added, “Master, it’s true Madam went out of line, but the Woods family doesn’t have a
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.
