Waltz was infuriated. Even the crowd gathered up their courage to start gossiping about them upon Dickinson’s appearance...“Mr. Will kept this ore here for more than a year but no one wanted to buy it.”“Just look at it, it’s so dull. How could it be in the green? Anyone with any gambling experience would know that that’s just a useless rock. Only those who are inexperienced would think otherwise.”“As Princess Fleur’s brother, you’d think he'd know better. Who is this guy anyway?”Waltz glared at Alex as she heard the insults, clearly frustrated and annoyed. Alex turned to Dickinson and said calmly, “If there really was a jade within this rock, what would you do?”Dickinson cackled. “If this cesspool rock does have a jade in it, I’ll eat this rock up.”“Okay then, you promised.”Suddenly, Alex remembered that Charis had said something similar before. He didn’t really hold a grudge against her and let her off easy… However, this guy was another case.“Excuse me, cut it open
Dickinson wasn’t the only one who was appalled.Everyone in the crowd had widened eyes and mouths agape. They were pushing against each other, trying to peek at the stone as much as they could.Some even took out their phones to take pictures—they wanted to post about it on their social media pages. This was a once in a lifetime experience.As for the store owner, Mr. Will, he was turning green as soon as he saw the emerald in the ore. Even just from its slightly exposed surface, he could see it’s magnificent glow and vibrant color. This was an exceptionally rare piece. Based on its market value, it could be sold for more than 100 million.This was 100 million that they were talking about!He had stored this ore for more than a year, yet he didn’t realize its value at all. He regretted his decision immensely.However, gambling was solely based on luck after all.As someone who had been in the mining industry for quite some time, this was the first time that Mr. Will had ever see
Due to Waltz’s competitiveness and sudden improvement in fighting, she had wanted to teach this loathsome piece of sh*t a lesson. Thus, she didn’t hold back when she slapped him.“Heh, you’ve lost to me before, Fleur. Did you forget? Does your arm no longer hurt?”Back then, he had dislocated Waltz’s arm.Upon hearing the exchange in provocation, the crowd dispersed immediately.However, the big fight didn’t happen as expected.Dickinson flung his leg towards Waltz, yet she was able to grab him by the ankle and threw him to the ground. Dickinson’s arm smashed against one of the ores. With a loud crunch, his arm was fractured.“Holy sh*t! You, you’re advanced now!”Waltz appeared proud, a smug look was plastered on her face. “Hey Dicky, remember to avoid me if you can. Oh, by the way, suck it up, loser.”She picked up a small stone and shoved it into Dickinson’s mouth. The sharp ends cut the insides of his mouth, causing it to bleed profusely.The color drained from Kayden’s fa
Alex excused himself and rushed off to Assex Villa by car. He couldn’t help but mumble complaints in his mind on the way there.‘Who knew Claire was stone gambling at the Antique Street too? Did she see me? If she knew that I got myself rare glassy emeralds from all three ores I bought, she would surely force me to hand them over like she always does!’Unfortunately, Alex ran into California’s rush hour—every road was as jammed up as they could be.Alex took forty-five minutes to reach Assex Villa.Upon entry, he realized that all three members of the family were present.There were another two men and a woman in the villa too. Alex was able to recognize the woman—a middle-aged woman and one of Claire’s best friends. They often hung out together. He vaguely remembered that her name was Lucia Whitney.Lucia was speaking to Claire. “Oh Claire, Brandon is a good man. I watched him grow, you know? He’s now the department manager of a listed company and his yearly salary is over a mil
Claire jumped up from her seat, her eyes lit up. “What? This car costs two million? Where did you get all that money from?”Alex paid no attention to her.All he wanted to do was resolve the issue and head home immediately. He wanted to keep researching on the alchemy stove. “Show me the IOU and give me your bank account number. I’ll pay you back for the amount she owes.”Lucia stared back at him in disbelief. “Do you even have the money? Everyone knows that you begged and grovelled for 100 thousand dollars. Don’t make such a bluff if you can’t bear the consequences!” Alex glared coldly at Lucia, as if he was looking right into her soul. She trembled, a chill went down her spine.“Lucia, my mother-in-law may not be the brightest bulb, but don’t you dare try to scam her. If I were to find out that you two were working together to scam both her and her money, you’re dead meat. No one would save your sorry *sses.” Alex said in a cold tone.Claire stomped her feet. “Who are you call
Beatrice took out her phone and opened up her class group chat. She then found the video that she was talking about.Both Dorothy and Claire huddled closer to watch the video together.Even the CEO of the City South Branch of Assex Constructions, Dorothy, was interested in making 500 million from 500 thousand dollars. Her heart was pounding hard. She wanted to see how great this Stone Gambling Prince was as well.She had looked into the stone gambling industry after all.Back then, she had a friend who loved to gamble on stones. But now they’ve lost everything; their debts were all over the place; and all they could do now was abandon the life they had to hide from loan sharks. They were nowhere to be seen now…Thus, Dorothy knew how stone gambling works—it really does rely solely on luck. Even their most advanced technology couldn’t tell if the ores had jadeites within before cutting them open.However, this Stone Gambling Prince was able to get rare emeralds from all three ores
With both Claire and Beatrice being as unhelpful as they could, it was just a disaster to Dorothy.Claire pointed to Alex. “Go make us some dinner, we haven’t cooked anything yet!”Dorothy said, “It’s quite late already, you don’t have to cook. Let’s just eat out, I’ll treat all of you to hotpot.”Suddenly, Claire turned to Alex and said, “You may leave now, we don’t treat outsiders to dinner.”Beatrice added. “Exactly, we’re no charity.”Dorothy was losing her mind. ‘Alex came all the way here to help us out, spending 500 thousand just because of you. How could you still say that with a straight face? Have you no shame?’Just as Dorothy was about to speak up, Alex said, “That’s alright, I have other things to tend to anyway. I’ll be off now. Dorothy… don’t push yourself too hard. If you don’t have enough money, I’ll come up with something.”Claire huffed. “You’ll come up with something? And what would that be? Another fake check? All you will ever be is a loser. Get lost! I’m a
Alex grabbed the stove and pulled his head out of it.He then rushed to the table excitedly and started scribbling on a notebook. He had used up seven notebooks for the past two days. All of them were filled with weird symbols that Waltz did not recognize.“I love nerds. Brother, you look so cool when you’re focused on work!” Waltz sat on the table and shoved a spoonful of ice cream into Alex’s mouth. Alex was still focused on writing, hence he completely ignored her. After noting down all the sigils that he had figured out, he put down the pen and let out a sigh of relief, as if a boulder had been lifted off his chest.Suddenly, he felt extremely thirsty. A spoonful of ice cream wasn’t enough for him, hence he snatched the whole bucket of ice cream and gobbled it all up.“Brother, I couldn’t finish the ice cream in the bucket, so I actually spat the rest out back into it.”Alex froze.He immediately spat out the mint ice cream onto Waltz's face.Half an hour later, Alex start
The Fiend Lord’s mentor was Blaine Rockefeller.However...Grand Emperor Rowan was puzzled. “You are the last Everlasting Being? But we were sworn brothers 10,000 years ago, weren’t we?”Blaine smiled and fished out a box of cigars. “Would you like one?”After a moment, the three people smoked at the foot of Mount Yukon.Blaine suddenly spewed out a puff of smoke. He then tapped the cigar lightly and said, “Samsara, life, soul, matter, universe, void...”That puff of smoke evolved.Eventually, he snapped his fingers and said, “Women!”The smoke turned into Zendaya’s lifelike appearance. She was a real person.Alex rushed over and hugged Zendaya immediately.Zendaya touched Alex’s face. “Hubby, am I still alive?”“I, I, I don’t know either.”After he said that, he kissed her passionately.Blaine snapped his fingers again, and Zendaya disappeared instantly.“This is...”“Idiot!” Blaine flicked the ash off his cigar. “Do you still not understand it?”Alex looked at Blaine,
Alex burst into tears when she saw the Phoenix Empress.She was still protecting Phoenix firmly at the final moment of her life...“Honey! Dorothy... They are dead! They are all dead!”He pulled his hair out, completely unable to accept such a result.He did not know how long he used the last move, but it seemed like a century had passed outside the Phanes Realm. ‘There is no one left. What’s the point of living when I am the only one left?’He held Dorothy with one hand and Phoenix with the other hand, whereas Shelly was lying next to his feet.He shed tears and bawled sorrowfully.Just then, a ray of light flashed.A crystal-clear stone suddenly exploded at the scene, and someone popped out... It was Grand Emperor Rowan who was drenched in blood. He did not die. He was still alive.Looking at him, Alex cried louder.Immediately afterward, an even louder cry sounded around him.Grand Emperor Rowan was crying.Nothing was more painful in this world than having his beloved o
Alex realized that he was trapped.He had ants in his pants. Dorothy, Phoenix, Shelly, Grand Emperor Rowan, and his family were outside... Since he was trapped here, they could be in danger.“Break it!”He grabbed the Phanes Ax and struck forcefully, but to his surprise, it was as if he was hitting cotton—he could not exert any strength.“Calm down! Calm down! No hurry!“This is Phanes Banner, an existence on the same level as the Phanes Ax. It won’t work if I strike it forcefully...”At that moment, the huge grindstone kept moving in the diffracted universe, and countless living beings were ground into flesh and blood. This time, the living beings on Earth could no longer withstand the grindstone and were continuously sucked into it.Currently, the entire diffracted universe was going to end in deadlock, as if the final result had been predetermined.Death and extinction seemed to be the final way.“Ah—! That’s right. I understand it. The three thousand great spells and the c
The mother-daughter duo—the Phoenix Empress and Phoenix—spilled blood in the air.That sword’s might did not stop there, but it came down in a ruthless slash. At the scene, Dorothy and Zendaya could not keep up with their strength. They had insufficient power!Both the women were standing in front of Alex as long-range supporters.It was then that the sword descended. Zendaya turned the vines into a shield and blocked it.Poof!The vine shield shattered instantly, and the sword almost tore her apart. Knocked back abruptly and crashing into Alex’s fusion barrier, she spilled a great amount of blood on it.Boom! Boom!Alex’s heart trembled vigorously. Seeing Zendaya at the last gasp before his eyes, Alex was so heartbroken that he could not breathe. Meanwhile, the face of the white-clothed woman in his mind finally became clear.“Yukina! Daya Stoermer! Yukina is Daya Stoermer!“I finally remembered it. I finally remembered it. It turns out that the three lifetimes you’ve been ta
Grand Emperor Rowan brought momentary relief to Earth through the self-destruction of the Six Eternities.Those who were about to be sucked into the grindstone broke free from the restraints. Moreover, that huge grindstone faded away gradually and disappeared.“Ha! The grindstone is gone!”“It’s over! Great!”The people on Earth, especially those who had a narrow escape, shouted joyfully and hugged each other. Even if the men and women were unacquainted, they embraced each other excitedly.However, someone started crying shortly afterward because several nodes of the force field were broken, and at least a million living beings were sucked out of Earth before they were thrown into the grindstone and ground into flesh and blood.Someone powerful like Agatha sacrificed her life for the greater good.Even Saria failed to escape.She was also sucked into the grindstone after Agatha.Everyone was in great sorrow.Even so, the great crisis hadn’t yet been averted.Grand Emperor Ro
Autumn fell to the ground and was grabbed by Brittany.William..., on the other hand, was immediately sucked out when the suction force was restored."Husband!""Grandpa!"Brittany and Autumn wept as they watched William enter the grimstone and transform into flesh and blood."Dad—""Dad ......"This was also seen by Dorothy, Zendaya, and Alex.They were taken aback all at once.Alex roared.It had been so difficult for him to find his father and restore him to normalcy, and for all these years, he had been away, and he hadn't had time to honor his filial piety properly. In the end, he had actually gone like that."I want your life, Ancient Divinity, you son of a bitch!""Boom, boom—" Fiend Lord’s heart was beating faster and faster. The fusion still continued as it still needed time. The energy of those flesh and blood was stopping him, destroying him. The dark demonic lotus in his body was a little untenable.At this time.Earth.The node of destruction grew in size
The Earth was in peril, and everyone's life was on the line.Grand Emperor Rowan made a bold move and unleashed his most powerful attack...The gates of the Six Eternities all opened, and ghosts cried out from within the gusts of gloomy wind.It blasted straight towards the altar, which was being controlled by the Ancient Divinity and others, as well as the countless sacrificed flesh and blood."The Six Eternities?""Good guy, this magical treasure has vanished for countless years, but it has actually appeared in this mole's body. Not bad, not bad. With the Six Eternities, we can control the Everlasting Door more easily.""Go, kill them, and snatch the Six Eternities," the Ancient Divinity laughed and said to the Bull Demon King.The Bull Demon King quickly led his disciples and sons to attack Grand Emperor Rowan and the others."Come and help!" Phoenix exclaimed right away.Everyone started assisting Grand Emperor Rowan.The Six Eternities, a magical treasure, did not disappoi
However, the suction was disrupted.People who flew up fell back down.The sensation that everyone was about to float away vanished as well.Soon, the audience witnessed an incomparably amazing scene.In a nearby world, a massive dragon was being pulled. It roared and resisted but to no avail. It finally plunged into the grimstone, where it was instantly ground into flesh and blood… Those flesh and blood fell from the grimstone but seemed to fall into some strange channel. They vanished.Then, there were more living things.Due to the distance, the average person could not see those small living creatures unless they cultivated their eyes with spiritual power to a certain level. However, a large number of creatures were sucked into the grimstone and ground into flesh and blood.There was no shortage of powerful and mighty individuals among them.Even mortals could see the situation clearly with the naked eye.Agatha hovered in the air, and her expression solemn.This was an e
Diffracted Universe.Earth.It was now midday, and the sun beat down brightly.A group of young men and women swam, played, and sunbathed on a golden beach, interacting with each other and enhancing each other's feelings.For example, one of the youth, Autumn, was pushed down onto the beach chair by a hot woman, who said, "Brother, the sun is so hot, I will give you sunscreen!"Then.As the words were spoken.The sun went completely dark.Everyone raised their eyes to the sky, only to discover that the sun that had been shining brightly all day had turned blood red. So much so that the light shining down was dark red like blood, and everything appeared to be bathed in blood light."What's the problem?""How did the sun become this?""Is it a solar eclipse?"However, everyone soon noticed that a massive grimstone had appeared next to the blood-colored sun.Alex would have been surprised if he had been present.This was due to his familiarity with the grimstone.He and Phoe
