“It’s alright.”

James explained, “This is just an example. The rich at the Southern Plains spend hundreds of millions like it’s nothing. My boss is worth hundreds of billions.”

“What about you? How much do you have?”

“Not much, just hundreds of millions.”

James was careful not to divulge too much.

Thea was shocked. “How is having hundreds of millions not much?”

Immediately, she yelled, “How could you do this, James? You seem honest most of the time, but you’ve done something so terrible. Do you only care about money?”

“Isn’t this normal? Mom has mentioned that Howard uses his position to pocket money as well. He’s enjoyed so many benefits, including luxury cars and mansions. Grandfather closes one eye to his antics. Look at dad, getting scolded by mom for being too honest.”

Thea considered it.

She supposed he could be right.

However, those were completely different matters.

Whatever Howard did, it was all in the family.

Whatever James did was illegal.

    “How dare you…”James was about to go berserk. Thea grabbed hold of him immediately. “Alright, let’s go.”She was familiar with his temper by now. He even beat someone up during a family meeting.If she did not stop him, this matter would get blown out of proportion.Those in the military were so hot-tempered.James did not lash out as Thea had a hold on him.Both of them walked toward the entrance.“Thea, is that you?”A woman at the entrance was staring at Thea in surprise.“Hmm?”Thea turned, noticing a woman about twenty-seven or -eight years old.She was wearing a long, blue dress and clutching a Chanel bag. Gold earrings dripped from her ears, a crystal necklace sparkled at her neck, and a gold bangle flashed on her arm.Decked out in gold and silver, she looked beautiful and elegant.She was on the arm of a man in his thirties. He wore branded clothing from head to toe, looking powerful and important.“W-who are you?” Thea could not recognize her.“Thea, it’s you!

    “Let’s go, James.” Thea pulled James away.She was afraid that James would lose control and start bragging about his wealth.James had told her where the money came from. It was dirty.Though it was also worth noting James had mentioned that he went to court over this matter and got expelled from the military.The money was his final reward for his service.Technically, the money was legal.However, Thea was still worried when she thought about the source of the money.It was best they stayed out of trouble. If the higher-ups pursued this case, James would be in trouble.As such, she started to drag James away.Since Thea wanted to leave, James kept quiet.“Hmph!” Xena cackled. “Just say you’re poor and be done with it.”Zach had an idea. He approached Thea, saying, “Thea, which clothes do you prefer? I’ll purchase them as a gift for you.”“Thanks, but no thanks.” Thea dragged James away again.However, James felt like he had been greatly humiliated. How dare Zach talk a

    Thea was rendered speechless. She had failed to hold James back, resulting in him beating someone up again.“Security!” The salesperson shouted.A few security guards at the entrance approached menacingly.The ruckus caught the attention of the other shoppers.All of them gathered around with the air of enjoying a show.Thea was slightly worried. “Jamie, let’s go.”She started to drag James away.However, the security guards blocked them.The salesperson said coldly, “Go? After dirtying the clothes? I don’t think so.”Zach stood up, roaring, “James, you’re dead!”He made a call immediately. “Samson, it’s me. Someone has attacked me at a boutique on South Dragon Street. Come with thirty men. We’re breaking the other dude’s leg.”After he hung up, he sent James a vicious look. “Stay where you are, punk. You’re dead.”Seeing how things were escalating, Thea was afraid. She tugged on James’ arm.James patted her hand, calming her down. “It’s okay. Call Yoel now. Get his dad to

    Thea was so anxious she almost burst into tears, but James looked completely unbothered.He had hit Zach and knocked over a few clothes racks. Even the manager had arrived.The manager of the boutique was a woman in her thirties. She was pretty with an oval face and black hair, wearing a sexy professional dress.“M-Mr. Smith.”Seeing Zach, she bowed respectfully.Zach, who was waiting for Samson at the lounge, glanced at the manager. His eyes lit up when he saw how pretty she was. However, she could not hold a candle to Thea, who was sitting opposite him. He lost interest in the manager at once. Mildly, he said, “Do you know me?”“Yes. I saw you from afar at a banquet once.” The manager, Miranda Larson, said respectfully.Zach nodded lightly. Looking at an anxious Thea seated opposite him, he asked Miranda, “How much are the damaged clothes worth? Get him to compensate you.”“Mr. Smith, I’ve made the calculations. He dirtied eighteen clothes in total. All of them are worth more

    Zach smirked and stood, reaching out to snake his arm around Thea’s slim waist. “You should have done this earlier.”There were many people at the boutique.However, they were all standing far away. Knowing the Smiths, they discussed what was going on under their breaths.Just then, James stood up and kicked Zach.Zach landed on the couch.“Hit him. Attack!” Before he even got up, he had issued a command.Just then, a middle-aged man dashed in.It was York, having rushed over from the hospital.When he discovered Thea calling to say that she had offended Zach, he was so angry he drove to the boutique at top speed, disregarding all the red lights.In his mind’s eye, he could still see what had happened the previous night.Even Xander was killed, with the Blithe King cleaning up the mess personally.Thea was like a god’s wife.No one would have the guts to touch her.Anyone who did so would be staring death in the face.He rushed in hurriedly, sweating so much his hair was

    Everyone’s mouth hung open in shock.Thea stood rooted to the spot. It was a while before she managed to respond.Quickly, she helped York up, saying, “Mr. Smith, wh-what are you doing? Please get up.”“Ms. Thea, please forgive us. Please have mercy on my useless nephew.”James said coldly, “He asked Thea to keep him company for three days.”“What?”York flew into a rage once more.He was so angry he got up, searching for something. His eyes landed on a wooden chair. He grabbed it and slammed it into Zach’s lower body.“Ah…”Moans of pain echoed through the boutique.Blood pooled at Zach’s crotch.It was so painful he fainted!Xena, whose face was bloodied, was so scared she turned pale. She kept retreating, crying all the while.Everyone staggered backward as well as they were all frightened.What just happened was ruthless!Zach was now crippled!After that, York knelt again. “Ms. Thea, does this please you?”Thea had paled as well. Instinctively, she stepped backwar

    Phew!Thea took a deep breath.It was so surreal!All this was simply unbelievable!Just then, a Ferrari stopped at the entrance.A tall, beautiful, and elegant woman in a white shirt and a black pencil skirt approached.Click-clack, click-clack…Her heels clicked against the ground, creating crisp sounds.“Ms. Lawson.”All the salespeople in the shop were respectful as the woman approached.Even the manager, Miranda, said respectfully, “Ms. Lawson.”Yuna took in the scene and glanced at James. Finally, her gaze landed on Thea. Pretending to be familiar with Thea, she took her hand, smiling. “It really is you, Thea!”“...”Thea was stunned.She did not recognize who this beautiful woman was.“Thea, it’s me. I’m Yuna, Yuna Lawson. When we were in university, you gave a speech during Mr. Quigley’s lecture to great applause. I was there too.”Thea thought about it.She seemed to recall a similar incident.However, she did not know who Yuna was.“D-did you send me an inv

    Thea was not happy about Yuna insulting James.“My husband isn’t a nobody.”“Isn’t he?” Yuna smiled. “I’ve heard all about him. Your family picked him for you. He doesn’t have a job. All he does is sweep and cook at home, relying on the Callahans to feed him. He used to pick you up from work at Eternality with his electric motorcycle. It’s a popular joke in Cansingon now.”“Keep talking and I’ll leave.” Thea looked unhappy.“Alright, I was just joking,” Yuna apologized at once.It looked like Thea was very much in love with James. It would be hard to create a wedge between them.She changed the topic. “Which clothes do you like? Just pick them out and I’ll give them to you. With your amazing figure and beautiful looks, anything would look good on you.”Thea’s unhappy look dissipated. However, she could afford the clothes. She did not want Yuna’s charity.With Yuna’s help, she selected a form-fitting white dress.She liked the color white.It represented purity.When she pa

    The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res

    “No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has

    At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn

    That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo

    Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z

    "Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,

    Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare

    "That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr

    James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
