Gladys sensed that there was something off about Thea.“Thea, what’s the matter? Why’re you frowning?” she asked out of concern.“I’m alright, Mom.”“Alright? It’s written all over your face.”“S-Something happened at the company. Purity Pharmaceuticals owes the Pacific Group thirty million dollars for some goods. I went to Purity Pharmaceuticals today and…” Thea explained helplessly.Thea retold the whole story to them.“Tsk. I never expected Purity Pharmaceuticals to have such a powerful background with both people from the underworld and legal departments. Not only did I not get back the money, but I even got us in trouble.”“Go get help from Mr. Caden. He’s very influential, so it should be easy for him to solve the problem for you,” Gladys said out of the blue.“I-I’ll consider it.”Thea ate in a rush and went back to rest in the room.She was exhausted and did not feel like thinking about these problems for the time being.Meanwhile, James secretly took note of the sit
Henry did not manage to get an answer and simply drove to Purity Pharmaceuticals’ headquarters.When they arrived, Purity Pharmaceuticals’ employees had already left work, and the entire building was pitch black.“James, it’s almost ten, and there isn’t anyone left. Why don’t we come back tomorrow?”“What tomorrow? Head to Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory.”“Alright.”Henry turned around and went to Purity Pharmaceuticals’ factory.The factory was located in the suburbs and was quite far away.While they were on the way to the factory, Jake had already gathered 1,000 men and 300 excavators heading there.Jake also had another identity as the genius doctor of Cansington, Jay Fallon.It was impossible for him not to know Purity Pharmaceuticals since he controlled the underground intelligence network.Purity Pharmaceuticals had many shareholders, including a senior official in the legal department.However, the real owners of the company were Infinite Commerce.Infinite Commerc
With the order, the 300 excavators started moving simultaneously.300 hundred engines began to roar in an instant.Buzz…The sound was deafening like an earthquake, and even the ground trembled slightly.Suddenly, a car quickly approached, and a middle-aged chubby man got out of the vehicle. He stood before the excavator and shouted, “How dare you?!!”The man was Peter Dawson, more commonly known as Dawson.He was one of the most prominent gangsters in the criminal world of Cansington.Following Dawson’s appearance, 3,000 men dressed in black and holding iron rods appeared. They instantly surrounded the 300 excavators and 1,000 people.Seeing that Dawson arrived with some men, Henry asked, “What should we do now, James?”James waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll wait for Walter to arrive first. That man has a death wish for being interested in my wife and causing her trouble at the factory.”Factory gate.Dawson glanced at the man dressed in black standing on the fi
Walter was shocked.He was confused as to why Dawson would suddenly hit him.He begged for mercy while being kicked and punched, saying, “Dawson, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I made a mistake! Stop hitting me! I’m begging you, please stop hitting me!”After beating Walter for a while, Dawson fell to his knees and pleaded, “James, please treat me as a fool who made a mistake and forgive me this time.”Walter was stunned to see Dawson kneeling on the ground.The person standing in front of them was the son-in-law of the Callahans and Thea’s husband—James.Why was Dawson kneeling to him?Walter stood up, still puzzled by the situation.However, his knee was injured, and he fell back to the ground as soon as he stood up.James glanced at Dawson, who was kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently, “Are you going to stop me from razing down this place?”“N-No…”Dawson did not dare to get angry and immediately said, “J-James, you don’t need to take any action. We’ll do it ourselves!”
Pacific Manufacturing Factory had been on a break.Larry was anxious.They finally got orders and began work again but were soon met with trouble.“Ms. Thea, how did you offend Walter of Purity Pharmaceuticals? How about you go and ask him for forgiveness? We’re the ones at a loss if this continues…”Thea was upset.‘Ask for forgiveness?‘I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I ask for forgiveness?’ thought Thea.“Alright, you go back to work first.”“Okay.”Larry left.Thea sat on her office chair and lowered her head in very low spirits.She was helpless in this situation.The company was in trouble, but there was nothing she could do to turn the situation around.She decided to seek the help of the mysterious Mr. Caden.‘I’ll…I’ll ask him for help just this once.‘I won’t look for him again after this one time,” Thea thought to herself.There was a knock on the door just when she had made up her mind and was about to leave.She sat down again and said, “Come in.
Walter sighed in relief after Thea accepted the money.Dawson would have beaten him to death when he returned if Thea did not accept it.“Ms. Thea, thank you for your forgiveness. I’ll take my leave now.”Walter did not want to stay any longer.Larry glanced at Walter in shock as the latter was carried away by the bodyguards.He finally came back to his senses after Walter left. “M-Ms. Thea…”Thea waved her hand and said, “Okay, everything’s settled. You head out first. I’ll put the money into the company’s account and use it as our expansion funds.”“Alright.”Larry left in confusion.‘What is going on?‘Walter sent people to cause trouble yesterday and came to apologize with three hundred million dollars today?‘When did money become so worthless to him?’Thea sat down.She thought about whether she should visit Majestic Corporation and thank Mr. Caden in person.Larry walked back inside the office while she was deep in thought.“Ms. Thea, turn on Cansingtons' City o
Unfortunately, she still did not get to see the chairman.Since she could not see him, she no longer wanted to stay in Majestic Corporation.Although Majestic Corporation was a huge corporation and ranked very high in Cansington, it was much inferior compared to the Transgenerational Group.The Transgenerational Group had a promising future and development.She was not going to stay in Majestic Corporation just for some personal affairs.She had already waited ten years and did not care if it took longer since it would be just a matter of time before they met.The two approached each other upon spotting the other party.“Ha…”Quincy was amused to see James dressed in casual clothes, and she crossed her arms.“What a coincidence, James. I see you almost everywhere. Don’t you know where you’re standing right now? What’re you doing here?”“Didn’t you apply to Majestic Corporation? Why are you here now?” James said with a smile.“Going to Majestic Corporation is a waste of my ta
Interview room.A middle-aged man received a call.“Yes, yes, alright.”He hung up the phone and glanced at Quincy sitting across from him.He stood up with a smile and said, “Congratulations, Ms. Xenos. The chairman is very satisfied with you. We’ll give you a three-month trial period for the role of vice president. I hope you perform well and don’t disappoint the chairman’s expectations of you.”“Huh?”Quincy was surprised.She specified that she was only applying as a department manager in her resume.Why were they suddenly offering her the position of the vice president now?The Transgenerational Group’s vice president was not comparable to Majestic Corporation.Majestic Corporation’s assets in total would be about tens of billions. In comparison, the Transgenerational Group had assets worth trillions. This was not their market value but the real assets they possessed.Although it was the same position, the worth of it was different.Chairman’s office.After resolvin
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
