“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
“I don’t care how good their relationship is. She’s just a maid yet had the gall to treat my son so cruelly. Not only did she pretend to be the butler, but she even humiliated him and made him kneel outside for the entire night. Fane is my son, and I have to avenge him…!” Nash’s fists tightened in agitation.Beth agreed with Nash, thus she nodded and suggested, “Yes, but this it’s not the right time yet. Let’s wait until Young Master Fane comes over; I think that it’s best to find an excuse to kill her if she dares humiliate Young Master Fane when he’s here. That way, you can avenge Young Master Fane for him to see, and he’ll then know how much you do care for him.” Nash’s eyes lit up when he heard what Beth said. “That’s splendid! Oh, how I wish Fane would come already… It would be nice if he could stay here for a few days, even if he doesn’t want the Woods family’ inheritance…”At that moment, Nash wheezed as he broke out into coughs.…By noon, the trio—Fane, Selena, and Lana—
The man slightly bent his body as he spoke so that his hand could lean on the side of the table where Selena was sitting. The branded watch on the man’s hand looked very conspicuous.The man had a small smirk on his face as he showed his branded watch and continued speaking, “It’s nice meeting such pretty ladies. Would the both of you like to be my friends? Let’s exchange contacts. As long as you’re willing to be my friend, I’ll pay for your meal today!”Young Master Quinton spoke confidently and had a smile on his face. He believed that most pretty ladies could be reeled in with money.Apart from that, the prices of dishes in this restaurant were nothing to him. Judging from this beautiful lady’s words, they might opt to leave as they could not afford the food in this restaurant. After all, many poor people could not afford the food here, so they would leave after looking at the menu.He would have sat himself next to these pretty ladies had it not been for the man with them at th
The threat in Young Master Quinton’s words was evident as he glanced outside; there were seven to eight bodyguards smoking beside his car.“Haha! Young Master Quinton, how much is your face worth?” Fane could hold back his laugh when he heard the man’s words. “My wife treated you kindly and refused you so euphemistically. We don’t want to cause trouble, so it’s best if you quickly leave as that’s best for us all. Apart from that, she’s not some gold-digger; she’s happily married to me. Do you understand?”Fane was unafraid to face Young Master Quinton and maintained his gallant disposition.While Fane wanted to keep a low profile in Swallow City as he had just moved in, he had a limit that should not be crossed, and that was on his wife Selena. It felt like a slap to the face when the man asked Selena out. Moreover, how could the Supreme Warrior’s wife be bullied like that? How could anybody treat her like that?After all, there were many powerful people in Swallow City. Who knew
Firm in his decision, Caleb then gave the order, and the quartet rushed toward Lana.Lana internally facepalmed at the sight of all four men rushing toward her. She showed only a fraction of her strength as she did not want to make a scene; all she wanted was to teach him a lesson that would make him admit defeat and leave. She did not expect them to grow more confident with themselves and attacked her together. Slam! Thump! Pow!Lana no longer reserved her strength. All four men fell to the floor as Lana kicked them relentlessly, and blood spurted from their mouths as their faces turned pale. “Young Master!” Several of the bodyguards who waited outside hastily rushed when they saw the scene.“Damn, this woman is really strong. Seems like we can’t do anything against her!” Young Master Quinton stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.“Young Master, don’t you worry. We’ll kill her for you!” One of the bodyguards with a Herculean build glared daggers at Lana.I
“Is this Young Master Quinton from a strong family?" Selena was slightly worried when she heard the waitress’ suggestion. After all, they had just moved into Swallow City. It was not possible for them to provoke a powerful family too quickly, was it?The waitress eyed her surroundings before she softly explained, "How should I say this... They used to be a small family back then and were some sort of low influential force. Still, they were considered a strong power around this area." The waitress paused before continuing, "However, ever since Young Master Quinton’s second uncle came back from the battlefield, the Quinton family's status rapidly improved, and they’re now regarded as a third-class aristocratic family. The Quinton family developed so quickly because his second uncle is none other than a King of War!""A King of War?" Fane was not afraid when he heard this. Instead, he felt anger sizzling in him.As a dignified King of War, how could he allow his nephew to behave so ter
Fane then joined in the meal, and while the dishes were on the pricier side, it genuinely tasted delectable. As they ate, they had some drinks as well.Ten minutes passed...“Hey, that Young Master Quinton didn’t come back for revenge. Seems like he’s all bark but no bite when he threatened us just now, and he won’t be coming back!” Lana smiled and raised her glass of red wine. “Brother Fane and Sister-in-law, cheers!”Selena smiled and said to Lana, “Sure! Still, it’s best to not drink so much in the afternoon so we don’t get drunk!” “Don’t you worry. Both me and Brother Fane can hold our alcohol down well, so one bottle of wine won’t affect us at all.” Lana finished her red wine in one go, her smile never leaving her face as she looked at Selena. “You should mind your wine though, Sister Selena, and don’t get drunk!”“I might not be able to hold down that much like you two can, but one or two bottles won’t affect me.” Selena smiled. “After all, I had to drink when I started wor
“My second uncle?” Young Master Quinton was taken aback at Lana’s question, stunned for a good while before a grin appeared on his face. “Well, well! This lady made a thorough background check on me. You even know about my second uncle!” Young Master Quinton paused before continuing to speak, “We won’t be needing my second uncle here to get you guys, though. The Quinton family’s bodyguards are enough!”One of the Quinton family’s bodyguards stepped forward as he chuckled. “Young lady, since you know about Young Master Quinton’s second uncle, you should know who he is. He’s a three-star King of War. It’s best if you give up all resistance so we won’t have to resort to more extreme methods. Everything will be fine as long as you apologize to our young master wholeheartedly and leave with him!”Unexpectedly, Young Master Quinton piped in right after one of the guards spoke, “That won’t work. There’s another pretty woman inside the restaurant, and both of them are the cream of the crop.
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.
