“I wasn’t bluffing. Not at all!”Caleb was so shocked that he quickly waved his hands. “Young Master Chaffman, think about it. I don’t even want the one hundred million bucks you offered. I just want that woman. Isn’t that an indication of that woman’s beauty already?”“Hah. I was just joking. Wanted to see you nervous!”Peace suddenly burst into laughter. Then he waved a hand. “Get on the car. We’ll go look around Waltz Street and see if she’s there. If not, we’ll just go straight to her place to grab her!”“You’re so decisive, Young Master Chaffman. You don’t waste a single second!”Caleb immediately flattered Peace.Soon enough, three Audis drove straight out of the entrance of the villa.“Oh, right. I really think that all women are gold diggers. Why don’t we try and see if we can use money to solve the issue first!”In the car, Peace smoked on a cigar, considering the situation. Then he spoke.“It might be difficult. The other day, I told them I would treat them to a meal
Soon, they found a place to halt their car. On their way there, they did not see Fane nor Selena. Perhaps, they had really gone to Waltz Street. “Let’s get out of the car. We’ll knock around Waltz Street, and if we don’t see that woman, then we’ll go to where they live!” Peace said with a wicked smile plastered on his face. Caleb gave the matter some thoughts and then reminded Peace. “Young Master Chaffman, that is a bad idea. It won’t work! I almost forgot to inform you that, other than Fane and Selena, there is another woman who is wearing a mask that blocks half of her face. That woman, wow, has a really hot body. She has a totally different aura and temperament compared to the woman that I told you about. The two are different types!” Peace’s eyes immediately lit up as bright as a lightbulb upon hearing Caleb's claim. “What the heck! Why did you only tell me now? There are two beautiful women, it wouldn’t be logical if I only want one of them! Why don't we get both of them?”
“I see. I thought they’re your bodyguards. So, ya, you’re getting some help from others, aren’t you? Haha!” Fane could not hold back but let out a loud laugh. “Perfect! Only the word ‘perfect’ can be used to describe her! This woman is stunning; she is basically a goddess!” Peace, on the other hand, could not be bothered about whose bodyguards and what bodyguards. His gaze was fixated at Selena’s perfect face. He looked like a silly person, drooling over a beauty before him. “Stinky fatty, have you stared enough? If yes, then get lost!” Fane was annoyed by Peace’s perverted gaze and face. He reprimanded impatiently. “Brat, watch your mouth! You certainly have a death wish, huh? How dare you talk to our young master in such a manner? Don’t you know how wealthy and powerful our young master is?” One of Peace’s bodyguards casted Fane a deadly stare as he barked. He looked like he was about to charge forward and strike. “Shush! Keep your voice low! Don’t you dare frighten t
True enough, the corners of Peace’s mouth that were once lifted, slowly flattened and soon a gloomy sensation dawned on his face. “If money can solve the matter, I wouldn’t choose to use force, I’m that kind of person. Heh, Miss Pretty, I’ve given you the opportunity to avoid that but you didn’t seize it. Since we can’t come to an agreement then don’t blame me for being brutal!” His eyes were fierce and ruthless. He waved his hand and yelled out an order, “Kill the man and take the woman!” “Yes, Young Master!” The bodyguards put on wicked grins and took a few steps toward Fane and Selena. They were pumped up to kill. Fane walked forward and stood in front of Selena. He clenched his fist tightly and swung his arm at the two bodyguards. “Humph! Kiddo, look at the flabby body of you, you…” One of the two bodyguards snorted coldly. Then both of them balled their fist and blasted head-on with Fane. Bang! Unfortunately, before the bodyguard could finish his sentence, both o
Young Master Quinton was as fat as a swine in others’ eyes. He was said to be about 200 pounds. However, he was as light as a feather when he received a head-on kick from Fane, that he flew backward several meters then only fell onto the ground. Bang! Caleb endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and got on his feet, only to be knocked down by Peace who flew backward in his direction. He plopped onto the ground again, causing a secondary injury and another mouthful of blood spurted out. It was such a miserable scene. After teaching the other party a lesson, only then Fane walked over and looked at the two young masters who were lying painfully on the ground. “I, Fane Woods, ain’t someone bad; I’m very kind-hearted. But you, this ugly fatty, dream to get your hands on my wife, huh? You’re like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh—asking for too much without looking at yourself. How dare you hit on my wife, you’re basically looking for death!” After saying that, he paused for a mom
“This gentleman is right and insightful!” Fane nodded in satisfaction and chortled. “Are the two of you here to seek a doctor?” The old-aged Chinese doctor immediately went up and served Fane and Selena when he noticed they entered the store. “No. We saw the notice outside. Isn’t this place going to be sold? I’m interested in that. How much is it?” Fane returned the doctor with a gentle smile. “Sir, this place is in a strategic location, and it’s very wide and spacious inside! Let’s go in and I’ll show you around, shall we?” The owner of Will’s Apothecary went up to them immediately after noticing Fane’s interest in the place. Although he felt that the possibility of the other party taking over this place was highly unlikely, he still put on the warmest smile and served them. After all, it was rare for others to be interested in a place like this. “Good idea! Let’s look around.” Fane nodded in agreement and followed behind the owner for a tour around the apothecary.
“Young man, you’re not bragging, are you? You know how to cure cancer?”The owner’s voice trembled with excitement after hearing Fane's words. He wondered if he had heard it wrong.“Young man, aren’t you talking big? Even big and prominent hospitals can’t treat cancer. With the current medical advancement, cancer is incurable, especially for those with stage four cancer!”The old-aged Chinese doctor stood up from his armchair and walked slowly over to the group. His legs were wobbly, and his voice was shaky.“Heh. Didn’t both of you discuss that a moment ago? That in fact, Western medicine is not as good as Chinese medicine in many aspects, especially those big hospitals who only rely on all sorts of machines to treat diseases. If technologies and the machines were to be taken away, they may not even be able to figure out what exactly is the illness, right?”Fane laughed wholeheartedly, with a bemused look on his face.“Yes, that’s what we discussed, but I didn’t expect for you t
The old-aged doctor was startled at the amount. “Sir, how can I address you? I know you’re a good man, but 30 thousand is too much!” “Oh, not at all, not at all! I’ll need to trouble you to look after the store today! And my name is Fane Woods!” Fane chuckled and then looked at his lovely wife who was standing beside him. “I’ll leave with my wife first.” He then added. “Alright, Mr. Woods. I’m Terrance Chaffry, just call me Terry.” Terrance chortled warmly and sent the two off at the entrance. “Fane, I know you’re trying to help, but you’re too generous, don’t you think so?” When they got out from the apothecary and on their way back home, Selena could not hold back but tease Fane. “You’re too generous that you scare the old doctor!”“Haha! It’s okay. Terry and his family don’t seem to be doing well. And it’s obviously not easy to survive in Swallow City. After all, to own a house in Swallow City is challenging for ordinary people and it’s indeed burdensome. Terry is a kin
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.
