Thea was a beautiful woman who was definitely sought out by many men.Gladys kept knocking on the door.Inside the room, Thea and James did not answer her.Soon, there was no sound from outside.Zavier must have left.Thea sighed in relief after hearing that there were no movements outside. She glanced at James, and her pretty face blushed red to her neck.“What’s the matter, Thea? Are you not feeling well?” James asked after sensing something unusual about Thea.“N-No…I’m alright. Honey, let’s…do it. I’ll give myself to you,” Thea lowered her head, mustered up the courage, and muttered.Although it was her husband, she still felt embarrassed saying such things. Inside her heart, she could not help but feel shy.James’ body trembled after hearing her words.This day had finally come. James had never forced it on Thea, even after so long.He and Thea had only held hands before.They had not even kissed.Were they going to take such a big step now?James glanced at Thea’s
Thea walked out of the room and was relieved that Zavier was gone.“You brat!”Gladys immediately scolded as soon as Thea walked out of the room.“What’s so good about James? Zavier is from a wealthy family with assets of over one hundred billion! He’s Gavin’s only son and will inherit the family business sooner or later!”“Mom, I’ve got something to do. I’ll head out first!”Thea hurriedly ran out the door.After she left, she phoned James and said, “Darling, I’ll pay a visit to Longevity Pharmaceuticals to ask Yuna for some orders so the Pacific Group can resume production.”James nodded. “Alright.” James walked out of the room since Thea was busy.As soon as he walked out of the room, Gladys, who was in the living room, immediately stopped him, “Stop right there!”“Mom~”James walked over awkwardly.Gladys took out a card and slid it on the table. Then she said indifferently, “There is five hundred thousand in this card. It’s some of my savings. Take it and divorce Thea
Opening a clinic in Nine Dragons Street was a horrible idea.People in Cansington would head to Medical Street to see a doctor.Those who traveled to Cansington from outside came because of Medical Street’s reputation, and they would not go to ordinary small clinics.Common Clinic’s door was half open.James heard a woman’s voice from outside the clinic.“What the f*ck is going on?”His expression immediately changed. He did not rush to the clinic but instead eavesdropped from outside the door.Inside the clinic.Henry was sitting on a chair with a woman across him.The woman seemed to be around 25 to 26 years old. She was decent with some make-up on and in a beautiful dress.“You’re Henry, right? I don’t think we’re suitable for each other. You don’t have a car or savings, and your lousy clinic doesn’t even have any customers. My requirements for a boyfriend are really high. He has to have at least an apartment in the city, a car worth at least five hundred thousand dollars,
Henry drove his modified Lunar Shine and left Nine Dragon Street with James.“Where are we going, James?”“The urban area, a place called Great Dignity on Mount Street. “Okay,” replied Henry.Then, he concentrated on driving.“Actually, Michelle is a pretty decent person. I read about her background information. She graduated from a famous university and is currently the manager of a large enterprise with a salary of about thirty thousand dollars per month. Understandably, she had higher requirements for her partner,” Henry could not help but explain.“Are we talking about the Michelle that called you a broke*ass?” James glanced at Henry.“Yeah, her full name is Michelle Yeager.” Henry nodded.“Forget about a woman like her. I’ll ask Scarlett to introduce you to a better woman than her. By the way, you can work in the Transgenerational Group if you want to. You can take on the nominal position of vice president and would be able to pick up girls much easier. No, it won’t be yo
“Why should we go back when we’re already here? At least go inside and have a look around…”James took out his phone and was about to phone Alex.When he called Alex to inquire about a place, Alex told him to wait for him to arrive after giving him a location. Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce approached quickly and pulled up. A bald man in his fifties with a slightly chubby figure rushed over in a hurry.He approached James and gasped, “I-I’m sorry. There was a bit of a traffic jam on the way, so I’m a bit late.”“It’s alright. We just arrived. We’re mainly here for Henry today. This is Black Shadow from the Southern Plains. You have to help take care of him well tonight, Alex. You know the consequences if the General Black Shadow gets angry if you’re neglectful with the service tonight, right?”“I-I’ll ensure you’ll be satisfied with the arrangements tonight. Please head this way…” Alex gestured for them to enter.He personally led James and Henry into Great Dignity.Great Dignity, a
James laughed heartlessly.Henry was so embarrassed.Alex sighed in relief.James was finally satisfied.Michelle was still stunned and had not grasped the situation.‘Isn’t he poor?‘He has no money, car, or savings. How does he know the famous Alex of Cansington?’“W-would you like anyone else?” The manager kneeling asked cautiously.“We want all of them except this one, that one, and her.”James pointed at a few women and spoke.“You, you and you! Leave quickly. The others stay behind and serve our honored guest well!”“Understood.”Those who were named left quickly.The rest stood up and walked toward the three of them. “I don’t need servicing. You all go ahead and serve those two.” James stood up immediately.“I-I also don’t need the service. Please serve this guest well,” Alex also hurriedly said.All the women surrounded Henry.In an instant, there were a few lipstick stains on Henry's face.Meanwhile, Michelle was still stunned.‘So many?‘A dozen of us? Ho
“Alright, I will make arrangements now.” James hung up the phone and took a taxi to Yosef’s place.It was already afternoon.Yosef was afraid that James would come to him for revenge. Thus, he asked his son Charlie Zaborowski to get a few friends over at his house. He wanted to ensure that James would be beaten until even his mother did not recognize him if he dared to show up at their house.Yosef’s house.“Come, my friends. Have a drink!”Yosef’s son, Charlie, greeted his strong and muscular friends.The group of people drank beer and ate barbecued meat.A man in his twenties wearing a black singlet said confidently, “Don’t worry, Charlie. I’ll break that live-in son-in-law James’ legs if he walks through the door.”“I’m reassured that Nash is here today. I promise to give you the thirty thousand dollars after you teach that brat a lesson. Nothing less than that so you can go have drinks with your friends.” Charlie smiled and was relieved to have his friends present.“Here
Yosef, Charlie, and seven or eight gangsters were taken away.“J-James.”Before the policemen left, he looked at James and asked respectfully, “M-May I ask how would you like us to investigate the Callahans?”This policeman was the head of the Commercial Crime Investigation Department.His name was Wyatt Jeremiah.Before coming, he was aware of James' identity and knew he was the Callahans’ son-in-law. However, he did not know of James’ other identities.One thing he knew was that an ordinary person would not be treated respectfully by the Blithe King’s subordinate.He was not confident in how he was supposed to investigate the Callahans, so he inquired.“After the investigations, those who deserve to go to jail should go to jail, and those who deserve to be fined should be fined,” said James.“Understood.” Wyatt nodded.“I’ve troubled you again, General Highsmith. I’ll treat you to dinner some other day.”James waved his hand and turned to leave.At the same time, at the
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
