The Ninth Patronum smiled bitterly and reported his findings.“They secretly left Middle Province?” Lily’s expression shifted into one of distaste. “Is that guy thinking of coming to the Woods family after he offended powerful people from Gin City? He’s probably trying to seek shelter under the Woods family after angering such strong people and is left without much of a choice. He might seek protection from the family!”“We don’t know that. I heard that they sneaked out of the city in the middle of the night, and our men don’t know which direction they went to. I’m concerned that they’d go to the Woods family. If so, they might be reaching in another two days!” Ninth Patronum fretted at the possibility. After all, he had been taking the money meant for Fane and even received a lot of money from Lily.The Lagorio family was initially formidable while their eldest young master was extremely talented. Everybody was sure that he would become the Woods family’s master and, because of all
At that moment, a bodyguard ran over and said to Fane, “Master, two beautiful ladies are looking for you outside. Oh, yes, they’re also looking for Miss Selena and Miss Lana.”“They’re looking for the three of us?” A small frown appeared on Fane’s face as he quickly walked outside with Selena.As they got to their entrance, they realized that it was the two gorgeous-looking celebrities that lived next door. “Greetings, fair ladies. Can we help you with anything? Come in and take a seat,” offered Fane as he smiled toward Blake and Tianna.“We won’t be going in. We’re grateful that you saved us not too long ago and helped us. The weather is good today, so we’d like to invite you out for a meal. May we have the honor?” Blake smiled shyly and glanced at Fane sheepishly.“Why, yes! How can we refuse the invitation from two beautiful women? Of course, it’s our honor to have lunch with two famous celebrities!” Fane nodded and agreed to it.Tianna stretched her limbs as she smilingly be
Of course, everyone else in the restaurant kept their voices low on purpose in a rather hushed manner.Still, Fane—who sat there—heard everything as clear as day, and his opinion about Blake and Tianna rose by several points.After all, it was not easy for them to stay clean in such a circle.Unbeknownst to them, however, a few men who walked past them from the road outside the restaurant spotted the beautiful women with Fane.The eyes of one lit up. He ran to the other side and secretly made a call to a director. “Director Wagner, I saw Blake and Tianna, and they’re having a meal with another man and two women. There are five of them in the restaurant, and no bodyguards in sight. This is a good chance!”The eyes of Director Wagner—on the other side of the phone—lit up as the corners of his mouth curled up in satisfaction. “Really? Splendid! Send me the address and I’ll send someone to get it done. I’m sending better men over this time, the last ones were downright useless. They c
While the bald man had tattoos on his head, he seemed to be someone of importance and seemed to be the leader of this team.Another person with a sharp-shaped mouth and monkey-like features smiled as he spoke to the bald man, “Boss, there’s a simple solution for this: why don’t we just take ‘em all since we’re here and ready for action? In for a penny, in for a pound—let’s just capture them all! We’ll kill this man. As for the other four ladies… We’ll give Blake to Director Wagner and keep the others.”“Haha! I like the sound of that! Why does it seem like these other two babes are somewhat better-looking than these two celebrities?” spoke the bald man, smirking as he wore a sleazy expression.“It seems like this so-called Director Wagner is quite powerful. Haven’t I given him punishment before?” Fane smiled coldly as he looked at the people in front of him.Blake was rather worried at the sight of so many men. She estimated that these people had superior combat power than the prev
Just like that, the bald man and his comrades were killed with only a few left alive; Lana and Fane let them off leniently.“That’s… That’s too strong, no?” Blake and Tianna inhaled sharply, floored by Fane and Lana’s combat ability. It was seldom for them to meet such strong masters.“Haha! That’s nothing!” Fane laughed and said to the people lying on the floor, “My name is Fane. Go back and tell Young Master Wagner to stop troubling Miss Blake and Miss Tiana, you hear? They’re my best friends. If anything happens to them, he’ll be walking on eggshells the rest of his life.”Tianna and Blake—who stood behind Fane—gazed in awe, conquered by his extremely domineering tonation. He was incredibly domineering and manly, threatening his enemies like that and vowed to protect them both. “Let’s go, time to head back.” Fane turned around and smiled before leaving with the others.It was only after they left that one of the men hastily called Director Wagner. “Young Master Wagner, we’ve m
The elder from the Wagner family grimaced at Young Master Wagner’s words, and his eyes held faint disdain.He loathed those who oppressed others, but when he thought of the favor he owed Young Master Wagner and the Wagner family, the elder followed them out of the car.“Who’s this?” Fane frowned when he saw the other party from far away.“That’s Young Master Wagner, also known as Director Wagner! He got here so quickly!” Blake took a look and her face slightly darkened. She fretted at the trouble she brought for Fane.“Well, it’s great that he’s here. Let’s teach him a lesson so he won’t hang onto these bad ideas every day. This time, I’ll turn him into a eunuch so he won’t constantly crave after women.” Fane smiled coldly as he eyed the men before him, rubbing his fists as he did.“You’ll be a goner today, young man. You’re rather gutless to even dare challenge me, Dylan Wagner!” Dylan arrived not far away from where Fane was and stopped. He smiled coldly as he scanned Selena and
“What?” The elder never expected Fane was faster than him and could evade his attack.By the time he regained his focus, Fane had kicked his abdomen.Thoom!A dull sound was heard as the elder was sent backward several meters away. He stepped on the ground with his full strength to stabilize himself.Puff!However, as he managed to stabilize himself, he felt a sweet taste that surged from his throat. He vomited a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.“Impossible! What sort of power is this?” Dylan’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw the elder vomited blood. His mouth hung open so widely that it seemed as though his chin could touch the ground.“Goodness! Even the seven-star King of War is no match for him?!” The other masters from the Wagner family were baffled at the outcome. That elder was their endgame, and he was the reason Dylan dared to act so rampantly. After all, this elder owed them a favor, and he planned to utilize that in a critical moment.Dylan never used
“Young man, I...I’m the young master of a third-class aristocratic family! You can’t kill me!” Dylan’s legs turned into jelly in his bone-chilling fright. He wanted to escape but both his legs did not cooperate.Fane flipped his hand and the black sword in his hand was nowhere to be seen. It had disappeared into thin air.“I won’t kill you,” commented the indifferent Fane with a tight smile.Dylan relaxed and smiled when he heard this. “And that’s a wise choice, my brother. It’s always better to have a friend than an enemy, right? From today onward, you are my brother, and we’ll be best friends. You should know that being friends with a third-class aristocratic family’s young master would only benefit you!”Thunk!Just as Dylan finished, Fane lifted his heel and slammed it against Dylan, breaking his balls.“Aaargh!” Dylan immediately knelt in pain. The veins on his forehead popped due to the excruciating pain he was experiencing, and his complexion was extremely pale.“I said t
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.
