Lionel received a call and exclaimed in shock, "THAT HIGH?! Isn't it supposed to be around sixty million?""Who won the bid?"The entire family knew that Lionel was talking about the hillside villa auction after hearing what Lionel said. Everyone turned and looked at Lionel attentively. "I understand." Lionel hung up the phone and sighed. "Dad, what's the transaction price?" Harvey asked eagerly. "Eighty-nine million," Lionel said. The figure stunned everyone there, with the old lady unable to keep herself calm. It exceeded the estimated price by more than 20 million, so one could imagine how intense the auction was. Most importantly, the actual value of the villa was simply not worth that kind of money. 89 million had all been spent just for reputation alone. "Yara was right. It’s a mystery buyer. No one knows who it is," Lionel continued. Waves began forming within Yara's heart. She made that remark casually but she never expected it to be true! She was the subject of affecti
In front of the department store.Linda Chen’s svelte figure attracted the attention of quite a few men. In just a few minutes, there were already three men who approached her.She wore a floral print T-shirt, a white blazer thrown over her shoulders, and the pleated white miniskirt she wore exposed her long legs. Who knew how many men she had stunned with that appearance?She was Yvonne’s old classmate and a close friend. When she spotted Yvonne walking toward her from a distance with a man by her side, she was so surprised that she gaped a little.Yvonne had been married for three years. She had only seen that legendary husband of hers once during the wedding. Yvonne actually brought him along today.Was something wrong with her eyes?“What’s up? What are you so surprised about?” Yvonne asked Linda with a smile on her face when she got closer.Linda pulled Yvonne to one side. “Yvonne, I'm not going blind, am I?” she whispered, “This is the infamous Samuel Hannigan.”Even if one had n
After the woman walked into the store, she did not even bother to try anything on and just asked the shop assistant to put it into her cart.“I want this too.” The woman walked in front of Yvonne when she so happened to be taking a piece of clothing to try on. She never thought that it would have been taken by the woman.Shop assistants usually provided simpering services when dealing with such generous customers. On the one hand, Yvonne had already tried on quite a few items, yet she had no intention of buying them. Thus, she was nothing to the shop assistant.“All right.”“What on earth? My friend took this first.” Yvonne did not get a chance to speak before Linda stepped up first to aggressively ask the shop assistant.The pretty woman looked at Linda; her arrogant face wearing a disdainful smile. “I’ve never tried on anything whenever I buy clothes. It’s all because of people like you. Trying this and that—who knows what kind of germs have contaminated the clothes?”“It’s not ridic
The rich man released a sigh of relief when Samuel did not fish his wallet out. Arrogance returned to his expression.“He’s done for! His claim was just a claim, after all,” the man said, landing the kick on a downed person. “If you really come up with the excuse that you didn’t bring your wallet, you’ll be a laughing stock.”The pretty woman grinned with sarcasm. “My poor man… Can you please not disturb me while I’m buying clothes? Get out of here. How embarrassing.”Linda quietly tugged on the sleeve of Yvonne’s shirt. “Let’s leave first,” she said in a low tone. “Don’t embarrass yourself with him. I can’t take the shame.”Yvonne stared at Samuel, baffled. Was he boasting to save face? He was not that sort of person. Why did he do something like this then?She shook her head and walked to his side. “Did you forget to bring your wallet?” she asked.Samuel wore an awkward expression. He did bring his wallet, but he had given his card to Liam. He had totally forgotten about it.“You sti
The rich man could not afford to offend a man like Samuel!He walked back into the store. He then proceeded to roll out of the store like a ball of flesh.“I’m sorry,” the nouveau riche man said. “I was wrong.”The pretty woman felt as though her face had been completely ripped off her body. “Are you insane?” she snarled at the nouveau riche man. “You do whatever he tells you to. Are you a dog?”A flash of fury creased between the nouveau riche man’s brows. He directed a cutting glare at the pretty woman. “What f*cking nonsense are you going on about? Who are you to speak here? Talk, talk, talk. Yak, yak, yak.”Yvonne and Linda were confused. Sure, the nouveau riche pig rolled out of the store. Now he lashed out in anger. Was he suffering from a brain aneurysm? He did say that he would get out of the store if Samuel could pay, but even if he did not fulfill his promise, no one would do anything against him.The pretty woman buried her face in her palms, not daring to speak another word
When Samuel took Yvonne and left, a beautiful figure rushed out of the main entrance of the department store. She scanned her surroundings, then went back in disappointment when she did not see a certain silhouette.The next day at around 3am, Samuel was sleeping soundly on the floor. Then Yvonne’s phone abruptly rang.Few people would call in the middle of the night. Yvonne stared at the display screen, silent.“Don’t tell me that you haven’t slept yet because you’re still trying on clothes,” Samuel said resignedly.She was too lazy to hold the phone to her ear, so she turned the loudspeaker on. An ear-piercing shriek that belonged to Linda came from the phone.“Yvonne, I'm in love! I finally found my Prince Charming.”Yvonne could not help but roll her eyes. “It’s in the middle of the night,” she said. “Are you nuts?”Sob sob. Linda suddenly pretended to cry. Yvonne was too tired to respond to that.“I shouldn’t have gone to the toilet yesterday. I wouldn’t have let my Prince Charmin
Not a single person was willing to serve Samuel when he walked into the store. He walked around by himself. He wanted the A6 model; other than being able to ferry Yvonne to and from her office, he could use it when he was conducting business negotiations. After all, Yvonne was the project leader of the Westside City project, and it was time for the Toyota at home to be replaced.Of course, Samuel could buy an even more luxurious car. However, it would be troublesome to explain everything to Yvonne’s side of the family if he threw his weight about shamelessly. He was lucky that Yvonne did not question him too much when he bought the entire store yesterday. He would not have known how to explain it otherwise.He stopped in front of a brand new A6. A salesman quickly approached Samuel.“We’ve got the A3 model here, a solid beginner’s car. I can introduce you to it if you’re interested,” the salesman said.“When can I get the car if I pay today?” Samuel asked directly.The salesperson gawk
“You got new wheels?”Samuel walked toward the general store after he parked the car on the street right by the store, and the owner greeted him with a smile and those words.“It’s almost summer so it’ll be hot.”The owner automatically took out a pack of cigarettes that he usually smoked. However, the A6 did not quite match Samuel’s entire appearance. “Do you want to switch your smoke brand?” the owner asked.“No need,” Samuel replied. “I’ll save money for petrol.”The owner shook his head, wearing a rueful smile. “You won’t save money for petrol by smoking.”“A penny saved is a penny earned. I’d be labeled a failure otherwise.” Samuel opened the pack and offered the owner a cigarette.The owner extended a hand at the same time, a lighter in his grip. The duo’s actions complemented each other seamlessly, as though there was an invisible thread of understanding between them. This understanding had been carved through time. It had been three years, after all.The owner huffed, releasing
On the other side of the sea of blood, the intensity of the battle was completely different.The monster controlled the body of Samuel. Without the entanglement of the ancestor, it was a complete blow to anyone present.More than a dozen top masters couldn't even get close to him from beginning to end, not to mention taking advantage of him.In just a few moves, more than a dozen top experts were instantly knocked back.What was even more terrifying was that these things were not built on the abnormal moves of Samuel. Most of the time, he simply used his original power to attack these people.Of course, Hei Feng and his men were not bragging since they could be their positions. Although they were completely overwhelmed by Samuel in terms of IQ and their cultivation were not as good as Samuel's, they were still far behind the monster.But in fact, with the cooperation of the team, these people would not be completely defeated by the monster in a short time.These guys attacked on
In less than a moment, the villa master had already arrived at the underground door accompanied by several personal guards.Outside the underground door, the commander in charge of the daily life of the Blood Sea couldn't help but hurriedly step forward and kneel on the ground when he saw the Manor Master arrive in person."I pay his respects to the villa master." He was very surprised and shocked for a moment. Clearly, he didn't expect the villa master to personally come to the frontlines.However, after the shock, he also felt that this matter was indeed very serious, because the Famous Shop had rules. Generally speaking, the villa master would never come to a place like the front line.Not only was the frontline dangerous, but the most important thing was that in the eyes of Famous Shop, it was a very disgraceful thing.However, now that the Villa Master had arrived, everything would naturally be different.This was unprecedented, but on the other hand, it was bound to be a cr
The villa master hurriedly got up, “Yes, Honorable Lord, please tell me what to do.”"Nightsky City was first defeated, causing there not to be many troops near you. Moreover, now that your bloodline has been damaged, even if there are troops, there might not be many who can support you."After the black-garbed men in the vicinity left the Famous Shop, many scattered teams focused on bloodlines.Wasn't that the case for those people Samuel dealt with?The reason why the Famous Shop was not so affected was that the Sage-gathering Manor the Zhou family gave us provided a lot of talents."Right now, we can only have the Burning Bone City's people take action.""However, you should know how complicated the forces in Bone Burning City are. Not only do they always oppose us, but there are also other scattered forces."If I send too many troops to help you, it will definitely be empty inside. At this troubled time, I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble for
The villa master quickly walked to the door and opened it. The first thing he saw was that it was not his subordinate who was in charge of the announcement. The chill in his heart could not help but become even stronger."What is it?" The Villa Master suppressed all the emotions in his heart and asked as calmly as possible."Master, bad news. The ancestor may have been defeated. Now his life is uncertain, and the whole underground has begun to collapse. The envoy asked me to tell you that he is ready to lead all the people of the underground door to die bravely. He will either die there or come back to apologize to you after killing Samuel," the subordinate said.Hearing this, the eyes under the mask of the valla master were suddenly shocked."What?"Even someone as calm as him clearly staggered at this moment, momentarily finding it difficult to accept this reality."Master..." The subordinate was at a complete loss for a moment.The Villa Master opened his eyes wide and was st
Outside the underground gate, many soldiers died, which also completely shocked the manager of Blood Sea. But just a few seconds later, he suddenly realized."Close the underground door tightly. All those who are still alive, get ready to defend!"He shouted loudly.He knew very well that there must be huge trouble inside.The ancestor was also very likely to be seriously injured. The masters inside would be the second barrier, and here was the third barrier.Although he didn't have absolute masters here, hundreds of thousands of people were still a huge capture net."Come on." He waved his hand, and one of his subordinates quickly walked over."Go notify the villa master. Tell him that the ancestor might have met with an accident. I am incompetent and have let him down. Thus, I have already made preparations to die in battle. I will lead everyone outside the underground door and do my best to stop all of this until everyone here dies.""Envoy, there's no need to do that. There
"Bang!"As the monster's palm slammed down directly, the next second, the Ancestor's huge figure suddenly stopped and then exploded.Boom!An enormous explosion. The entire depression exploded, and the monster didn't dare to slow down at all as it quickly retreated.The entire sunken cave exploded, causing the entire wall to completely collapse. The huge vibration caused the entire cave to tremble wildly.The special envoy in white and the others didn't even have time to react before they were directly knocked to the ground.The cave collapsed, and the sea of blood was boiling wildly. A large amount of vigor and black air began to evaporate from the sea of blood."Ah!"What was even more terrifying was that there were quite a few disciples on the shore who suddenly clutched their chests. Their bodies seemed to have been set aflame, turning into black smoke.Then, they completely disappeared from everyone's sight.It was the same inside, as were the people outside the undergro
"See? If you had listened to me a little bit and taken some precautions, you wouldn't have been injured to this extent," said the monster coldly.There was no pity at all, only ridicule."Say, what a pity. With your strength, even if I were to fight back against you, you would not have suffered such serious injuries."The monster's words were very heart-wrenching.Every single word he said was correct, but every single word pierced into the Ancestor's heart.This was just like how the ancestor had been fighting against the monster in his armor. He had wanted to win too badly, and he had underestimated his opponent too much. That was why he hadn't worn any armor at all when stabbing at the monster.Once the enemy counterattacked, he could only use his physical body to take the attack head-on.Naturally, his injuries were extremely serious.Therefore, it was not wrong that the monster was ridiculing the ancestor, but in other words, it was not wrong at all. This was an iron-like
As soon as the monster finished speaking, the monster suddenly exerted force. Immediately, Samuel's entire body emitted a bright-red vigor and an incomparably great strength suddenly shot out from his palm like a hot metal rod.The ancestor was not prepared at all. In the face of the fierce attack of the monster, he could not withstand it at all.Just a moment later, he, who had been pushing the monster away, began to slowly retreat.The body of Samuel, who was originally dead on the wall, also quickly rose up and pushed outward little by little, and the Ancestor's body also slowly retreated."You... why are you still so powerful.""Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."The monster sneered. "Why can't it be? What I fought with you just now was just the power I released. Now, you are facing the power that exists in my body and Samuel himself.""I might as well tell you this. That power is actually even stronger than the power I released earlier."The ancestor was stunned.
"You... this... this is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" The ancestor was shocked. For a moment, he couldn't understand. To him, Samuel had long since been possessed, and later, his fleshly body had been transformed into layers of mud and stones."Why can't it be?"The monster sneered and said, "I did occupy the body of Samuel, but don't you think there is a possibility that this kind of possession is not completely by force, but by the integration between me and him?""Integration?" The ancestor blinked. "You mean..."He suddenly thought of a very terrible possibility. That was to say, Samuel only coexisted in a wonderful way with monsters.It was not in a conventional sense. The monster broke through the restraint of Samuel and completely occupied the body of Samuel.It sounded like there was not much difference between the two, but in fact, there was a huge difference.Obviously, the latter was a monster. It just used the body of Samuel to come back for its own use
