Wendy had merely been a regular staff member of the Lambert Corporation. Antigonus found her by accident upon taking over Hackett's body. He discovered that Wendy was more than just a competent worker who knew what she was doing. Upon so, he made her his right-hand-man—Hackett's secretary.Wendy was supposed to be in the company sorting out business affairs when she had heard that the owner of a known film company was coming over to visit. Upon knowing so, she rushed downstairs to welcome him.'Whoa… What a dashing man.'Before she could even reach him close up, Wendy had been dazed by Zhu's looks.Truthfully, Wendy had also made it a point to put herself in charge of running the bigger projects as Antigonus' secretary. When the company began hiring new male workers, Wendy had also had her fair share of a good view.However, the man that stood before her was pretty much perfect, to the point where it was impossible to find any flaw in him.However, why was his gaze so mocking?A
As he spoke, Zhu walked over and prepared to take a look.Wendy got the fright of her life as she scrambled to stand and stop him. "Mister Zhu! Please don't go in there. Sir Lambert has an awful temper, and he hates people entering his office without permission."Based on Wendy's memory, Sir Lambert was a pretty gentle guy if unprovoked, but he had a terrifying side to him if he were to get angry. She clearly remembered how a security guard had forgotten to knock before entering, and as a result, he not only got an earful but was also fired immediately.'Who does this Mister Zhu think he is anyway? Doing whatever he wants.'Zhu's interest only piqued even further, having heard her answer. He replied, "Sir Lambert never lets anyone into his office? Is he hiding some hot chicks in there? If that's the case, I've got to check it out myself. Haha!"As the words rang through the air, Zhu moved to push the door open to enter."Hey… Mister Zhu!"Wendy was beside herself with panic, hot
'Uhh…'Zhu scrambled for something to say in Yvonne's embarrassment as he scratched at his head. "About that… Don't be mad, Yvonne. I was just joking."As he spoke, Zhu seemed to also sense that Yvonne was pretty weak. He made another guess and said, "I've got it! That Sir Lambert was interested in you and kidnapped you, right? Don't you worry, Yvonne. I'll make sure he pays if I see him today."'Ahh…'Yvonne was even more exasperated. Zhu had not changed one bit over time. There was never a serious word out of his mouth. He hardly had a thought that was not clouded with lust.Darryl was like that too, was he not? He never took anything seriously despite the situation.At the thought, Yvonne bit her lip as she said helplessly, "Would you please stop jumping to conclusions, Brother Zhu? It's not what you think at all. I came here looking for Hackett Lambert to seek revenge, but I failed."The mere thought of what had happened during her duel with Antigonus filled Yvonne with ra
Just then, Antigonus cast another glance at Yvonne as he continued. "Don't you know it's rude to break and enter someone else's office?"Antigonus had heard everything that was said between Yvonne and Zhu before he came in and deduced that they knew each other. Thus, he was highly defensive.Zhu laughed heartily, not sparing a moment of hesitation. "Haha! Don't bother racking your brain trying to figure it out. The name's Zhu Bajie. I'm friends with Yvonne, and I don't think it was very nice of you to lock her in this closet. How do you think we should settle this?"As he spoke, Zhu plonked himself down into the main office chair with arrogance written all over his handsome face.The truth was that Zhu's chest was filled with wariness then. He clearly sensed that the man was incredibly powerful, even more so than Emperor Hou Yi, whom he had greatly revered. Antigonus did not wait for an answer. Instead, he smirked, condensing the energy around him before exploding and landing a b
All that could be seen were the three figures locked in a heated battle, zipping through the air in the office and sending ripples of energy around them.Wendy could hear the ruckus from outside, but she was too afraid to enter.…Over on another end, in the Cryolet Continent.After using the Garans to scare off Kendra, Darryl sat down and meditated to rest.Upon getting enough rest, Darryl asked the Garans a few more questions. After that, he walked out of the main hall.After looking around the surrounding towers and being unable to find any important leads, Darryl continued to search inside.After walking for a while, he saw a chasm that seemed to hold hidden power. The chasm was about a hundred meters wide, and it appeared bottomless. It was lined with a chain bridge.Across the chain bridge was a giant space. Where the bridge and the space connected was a gigantic plaque. The plaque was a little over ten meters tall, and appeared to sparkle in the sunlight from afar. It wa
The Gold Seal Scripture was a form of text unique to the Godly Region. Being the Nine Heaven Sage, as well as a Royal Master, of course, he would know of it.Oh?Kendra was startled when she saw Darryl's reaction. "Can you read what's on there?"She had never seen text like it before, but he had recognized it at first glance.To think that he knew how to open the Heavenly Secret Lock, how to talk to beasts, and he could even read such complicated text.How many other secrets did the man hold?Sensing Kendra's shock, Darryl smiled lightly. "Yes, a little. This is the Gold Seal Scripture, a long-lost form of text. I can't believe I'm seeing it here."He most certainly could not tell her that the scripture was special to the Godly Scripture. Otherwise, his identity would be exposed for sure.Kendra nodded in realization and hurried to ask, "Well, what does it say?" There had to be something going on with a plaque that big that was filled with words placed in such a prominent pla
Kendra would not have been that anxious if it was anyone else. However, Darryl was different. Even though he had zero abilities, he was still well versed in everything else.Kendra felt secure around Darryl even when they were in great predicaments. They were able to solve it easily.Her plan was to invite Darryl to investigate the realm with her, and if they found any treasure, they would split it. Since the Red Shirt Crusade men wanted to take him away, Kendra was naturally unwilling.Friend?Darryl did not react to Kendra's words, but internally, he snickered to himself.Kendra was such a hypocrite. She wanted to kill him just moments ago. She only referred to him as a friend after knowing he could be useful to her.However, Darryl was aware that Mahoney was not a good man either.Mahoney frowned and said to Kendra, "That's not right, Miss Kendra. I saw it from afar when we were crossing the bridge. You waved your sword around at him, wanting to attack. If you were truly frie
Darryl smiled lightly as he pointed at the plaza behind the stone steele and said, "The inscriptions on the steele said that we have to go through this plaza to have a great discovery."Darryl spoke in all seriousness, but his eyes were filled with doubt.The inscriptions mentioned that going through the plaza was the only way, but Darryl had doubts that it hid some truth from them—the truth being that the plaza in front of them was hidden with mysteries.From a distance, it looked normal, but upon closer inspection, every single stone steele in the plaza was arranged in an order.Darryl noticed it when they crossed the chain bridge earlier.When he saw that, the first thing that popped into his mind was the ancient tomb of Lu Bu that they discovered years ago. There was also a plaza before they went through the final Grand Spiritual Treasure Palace.That plaza was filled with stone steeles, and every steele had its own unique pattern. It looked harmless, but it was actually a da
