Fiona was very anxious. She panicked."What do we do? Anyway, he was the one who did it. It has nothing to do with our family!""Besides, I have never admitted that he is our son-in-law!"Fiona made her stand clear immediately."Yes, I don't have a brother-in-law like him!"Ben turned against Fane without hesitant. The word ‘brother-in-law’ which he called out kindly yesterday was forgotten.On the other side, Selena’s first day at work went smoothly.She did not expect that the Drake Family was planning to invest in a large project in the south of the city. They bought a large piece of land and were developing it into a high-end residential area. As a newly appointed Procurement Manager, she was solely responsible for the procurement of the building materials.Selena was flattered.The Drake family even arranged a Procurement Supervisor to share some of her workloads.This supervisor, called Sonia Neal, was a distant relative of the Drake family."Sonia, let’s work hard
After Sonya left, Selena leaned back on her chair and frowned. "It seems that this supervisor is very unhappy with me. Moreover, she is also forcing me to treat them. If I don’t agree, she will probably b*tch about me being stingy and refusing to take them out after becoming a manager!""Forget it, fortunately, Fane gave me nine hundred thousand bucks yesterday and my mom gave me a hundred thousand bucks. That should be enough for a meal, right?"Selena smiled bitterly and was no longer brooding over it.At that same time, a man in his fifties from the Taylor family returned with excitement. He immediately summoned the Old Master Taylor and the other members of the Taylor family together."Uncle Timmy, what's the matter?"Ivan quipped lazily while studying the man in front of him.He was in a terrible mood that day. He was planning for a celebration at the hotel yesterday and to show off his achievement to Selena and the others, but it turned out to be a disaster. Unexpected
"Don't worry. If that happens, we just won't recognize him as our son-in-law!""After all, everyone knows the agreement we had with him. Even Young Master Michael knows about it. We had a one-month agreement with Fane.""Furthermore, if we recognize him, we would not have driven both him and Selena out of the Taylor family!" said Ivan. The Old Master nodded. "It is true, we have not recognized him, so he is not one of the Taylor family!"Speaking of that, the old master paused and asked, "By the way, what’s the good news you mention about Selena? Did she really work with the Drake family?"Timmy had a straight face. "Old Master, didn't everyone know about this yesterday? Besides, Selena is capable. A monthly salary of ten million bucks is not too high. After all, it is the Drake Family that she is working for and she is a manager!""In that case, what is the good news?"Ivan frowned, so everyone was puzzled."I heard that the Drake Family bought a piece of land in the south of
"Yes, that should work. Selena is part of our Taylor family. Who else would she benefit such a big project to, if not us?"Cecelia commented immediately with a smile. If the Taylor family could make it to a second-class aristocratic family, she would be confident, going out in the future with that sort of family background.When the time comes, those young ladies from the third-class aristocratic family who were close to her would be envious of her. They would be trying to please her, would they not?"Yes, Selena is part of us, so she would naturally take care of us!"Theodore nodded after processing the idea through his mind. He looked at Ivan and said, "Ivan, you must be sincere if you were to apologize to her. Got it?""Don't worry. I will be sincere for sure!"Ivan said with a reassuring smile, "I have thought about it. As long as she takes care of our family and lets us make some money, I can give her some rebates...""You have to be careful about this kind of thing. No on
After Sonia made the announcement, she went straight to the corridor outside and made the call.Another female employee who had a good relationship with her came up to her after she hung up the call. "Supervisor, you have been working hard for the Drake family for several years. How could they not give you credit for your hard work? Shouldn't you be promoted to a manager already? The company had a vacancy for the Procurement Manager, but that was not a good enough reason to make Selena one, right?"The female employee remarked after she joined Sonia.Sonia was very angry as the employee had just spoken what was on her mind. Her face turned ugly because of the rage that was boiling within her. She tried her very best to force a smile. "Sigh, well, she is very capable and she was recruited by Miss Tanya. The General Manager said that she was appointed by Miss Tanya personally. Besides, Selena was already showing her ability as a strong career lady back then when she was part of th
"Very high? Isn't it the same as the previous manager? Did she not get a monthly salary of one hundred thousand bucks? Added with various subsidies, she probably gets a total of one hundred and seventy thousand bucks, no?"Sonia frowned. She was slightly surprised."I heard that it's not the same. If I am not mistaken, her salary is one million bucks a month with a year-end bonus!"The female employee called Felicia said, "I don't know why she gets such a high salary. This is outrageous, don’t you think so? I can understand if she is a relative of the Drake family, but she is not! I think it is good enough for her to be appointed as the manager. There is no need to pay her such a high salary!"Sonia was nervous just thinking about it. If she became the manager, would she be paid with such a high salary? She was a distant relative of the Drake family, after all.The thought of her being made the manager had Selena not joined the company circulated her mind. She was not able to stay
"Yeah, didn't you tell me to arrange for it? I have arranged for a relatively popular private room, the minimum spending is only two hundred thousand bucks!""I have heard that as the manager, your monthly salary is one million bucks. You should be fine with it, right?" Sonia said with a bright grin. "No way! The manager's salary is that high?""Oh dear, did you book a private room? The manager is really kind to us. The minimum spending is two hundred thousand bucks!"The other employees were all enlivened, some female employees were jumping with excitement. Judging from the situation, Selena was overcome with a ghastly feeling which reflected on her face. Two hundred thousand bucks as minimum spending. They would probably spend more than that for dinner. Besides, it was still uncertain how much they would be spending for the karaoke session. She was furious and felt like giving an earful to Sonia. It was disgusting of that woman to have decided on Selena’s behalf without consul
Selena plodded out of the company after the others had left, a sour expression on her face all the while.She only had 100,000 bucks with her, but the dinner and karaoke could easily cost her over 300,000. She felt the pinch on her.However, Selena had no other choice. Had she allowed Sonia to succeed, she would have a miserable time at the company in the future.Besides, even if it cost a lot of money, she was paid quite a hefty salary. As long as she drew her first salary, she would be lifted from the tight financial situation.She could not think of a better solution after mulling over the thought for a while, so she decided to call Fiona.Fane had taken out a million bucks before, after all, and there were roughly 800,000 with Fiona. She could only take some of it from Fiona first to settle the matter. "Ma..."Selena called out softly once Fiona answered the call."Selena, how are you at work?"Fiona asked anxiously without waiting for Selena to talk more. "Selena, let me
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.
