"If you have anything to say, just say it, darling. There's no need to be so serious," Timothy teased with a cheeky grin.Mavis' face flushed bright crimson as she gritted her teeth in frustration. Her eyes were full of embarrassment and rage as she warned, "Timothy, for the last time, stop calling me darling!""You told me this afternoon that if you lost, I can call you darling. You're the CEO of a large corporation like Jefferson Group, but you can't keep your promises?"His words made her expression tightened. After a few seconds of silence, she reluctantly gave in. "You can call me that in private, but don't do it in public."Timothy silently chuckled. He hadn't expected the proud woman to give in. After all, she was pretty stubborn.He didn't want to push his luck and agreed happily. "No problem, darling! Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"When he stressed the word "darling", Mavis felt extremely uncomfortable. The feeling of being called that by a man who used to pic
Mavis sneered. "You'll never get to kiss me, so get ready to run naked. I'll send you my account number later. I can't wait to see how you plan to impress me." With that, she hung up the phone.A few seconds later, Timothy's phone chimed with a message from her that included her account number.He smiled mischievously and thought, "Mavis, just wait and see how I'll make you regret being so aloof tonight. My kisses will melt away that cold front you've been putting up."He glanced back at the dimly lit courtyard, then quietly slipped away. At the street corner, he rubbed his palms together and pondered how to make money.Timothy wasn't short of money. His card balance could buy several islands in a medium-sized country. Although he could just have someone transfer the money to Mavis, he found that idea too boring. Since he had nothing else to do after returning to Lormford City, he decided to have some fun.Suddenly, an idea struck him. He flicked the ash from his cigarette and h
The black Range Rover pulled up in front of Timothy and instantly grabbed the crowd's attention.The car door opened to reveal a pair of perfectly smooth, fair legs in high heels. Timothy looked at the sheer, nude stockings that accentuated every flawless detail. It was a breathtaking sight.Yvonne soon stepped out. Her dark hair cascaded gracefully, and her eyebrows and eyes held a classic beauty. She exuded a refined sophistication that sharply contrasted with the imposing black Range Rover she had just exited.Timothy's eyes twitched in surprise because her beauty rivaled Mavis'. He was sitting on a stool with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. One of his legs casually crossed over the other, and his eyes narrowed. His gaze roamed over Yvonne with an unabashed gaze.The nearby stall owners swallowed nervously, looking at her with intense fascination and desire. Seeing Timothy's indifferent attitude only made their jealousy more apparent.Yvonne calmly glanced at him. She fr
"What's wrong with being a creep? A creep who doesn't want to recharge isn't worth the title." Timothy dropped his playful grin and said seriously, "Okay, I'm done messing around. What's the matter?"Yvonne frowned and sized him up. "There's something strange happening at my home. I need someone to check it out. Is this your area of expertise?"He observed her closely and noticed a strange emotion in her eyes. So, he said thoughtfully, "I didn't notice it before, but now I've got a pretty good idea of what's been bothering you."She frowned and eyed him suspiciously. "Why do you sound like a fraud? What did you see?"Timothy cleared his throat and said earnestly, "Have you been waking up between 3:00 am and 4:00 am? Do you feel anxious and out of breath?"Maybe you've also been feeling dizzy. And I'm guessing you've also had some health issues like missing your period for a couple of months and dealing with random illnesses?"Yvonne's face went through a series of emotions as she
The courtyard exuded timeless charm. Its meticulous design featured lush greenery and trees, creating a natural screen. Pavilions were added to the tranquil atmosphere to give the space an almost enchanted feel.Timothy immediately sensed that this place was extraordinary. As he took in the scene, he noticed the stone lions at the entrance and the dragon's blood tree in the courtyard, valued at around seven million dollars.His heart skipped a beat. It was exactly as he had suspected; this place was indeed a hidden gem. Living here would not only benefit his health but could also extend his lifespan. He glanced at Yvonne with renewed interest and realized her background must be just as impressive.On the contrary, she quietly observed him, and her heart skipped a beat. Given his shabby appearance, she expected him to be nervous, uneasy, or slightly intimidated by the luxurious surroundings.But she saw none of that in him. Instead, he appeared calm and indifferent. Her instincts
Timothy barely sustained any injuries in that battle while annihilating over 70 forces. No wonder his reputation abroad was so fearsome.Unfazed by the hostility, he finished his cigarette, discarded the butt, and stubbed it out with his shoe.He said coolly, "Let's cut to the chase. I'm busy and don't have time for this." As he spoke, he stretched lazily, and the atmosphere of hostility seemed to melt away instantly.Everyone in the villa was taken aback. Xavier's mouth twitched slightly and his expression showed a flicker of surprise. Yvonne leaned in to whisper something to him, and he nodded in response.Suddenly, he gave a hoarse laugh and turned to Timothy with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry for the earlier rudeness. Since you're busy, I'll keep it brief."He cleared his throat and continued with a serious expression. "Over the past few months, Yvonne and I have been in several accidents and sustained unexplained injuries. But that's not all. "I've also been plagued b
Xavier's piercing scream echoed through the villa.Yvonne's face turned pale as she urgently shouted, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and help him!"The bodyguards scrambled to move the chandelier out of the way.Xavier's legs were a bloody mess, with the skin torn and mangled. He cried out, "Yvonne, hurry up and bring that gentleman back."She hesitated and said, "But your legs…""I'm fine. Just bring him back now!"Without delay, Yvonne rushed out to the front yard.Timothy was strolling down the street with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He could hear the hurried footsteps approaching from behind."Sir, please wait!"He continued walking, seemingly oblivious to the voice.Yvonne gritted her teeth and fastened her pace, stopping in front of him. "I'm really sorry about earlier. I…"Timothy frowned. "Get out of my way."Her expression turned bitter. "Sir, we didn't mean to offend you. Please don't hold it against us. We'll add another 20 million to the pay
Timothy waved his hand and said, "Burn the chair."Xavier didn't hesitate and ordered, "Get some gasoline. Burn this chair to ashes."The bodyguards carried the black throne to the center of the courtyard, doused it with gasoline, and set it ablaze. The flames roared, and thick, black smoke billowed into the sky.Yvonne watched anxiously and bit her lip. "Sir, what's wrong with the chair?"Timothy, casually puffing on a cigarette, replied, "This chair is saturated with negative energy. It's likely been associated with several deaths and is affecting the environment and people's minds. "Given the gloomy atmosphere of this courtyard and the growing negative quantum energy, it's no wonder you've been experiencing misfortune."Yvonne's skepticism faded as she realized Timothy's insights were accurate. Although she had initially thought he was a scammer, his knowledge seemed genuine.As the chair burned to ashes, the remnants were handled as per Timothy's instructions. Some were bur
Timothy remained silent and enjoyed the show. Cecilia knelt and looked up with a sensuous gaze. She bit her red lip and asked, "Master, do you want me?"Timothy's expression was one of amusement, and his emotions remained inscrutable to Cecilia. She slowly reached out and touched Timothy's belt. As she observed the changes before her, her eyes were filled with shock. She gasped subtly, swallowing hard. The comparison between Leon and Timothy was like night and day.Her cheeks flushed as she looked up at Timothy, her eyes full of astonishment. It wasn't for any reason other than the fact that Timothy was… simply too overwhelming. She had dated several guys and had seen plenty, but none could compare to Timothy. Her hands trembled as she tried to undo his belt. Her throat felt dry, and she licked her lips nervously. She made a few attempts but ultimately failed. A light sheen of sweat formed on her face.Timothy continued to watch her, feeling amused as she knelt in front of him
"Time to die." A whisper, like the voice of death, echoed in Leon's ear. Just as he was about to speak, Timothy's hand moved in front of him—a simple, light swipe.Leon's body froze instantly. Seconds later, his lifeless body collapsed to the floor. Cecilia looked at Leon's body and let out a hysterical scream. Leon's face was gone—his entire face was gone! Where his face used to be was now a flat, bone-smooth surface, as if it had been cut by a saw. The cut was so clean and smooth that it looked terrifyingly unreal. It was a gruesome sight.Cecilia had never witnessed something so horrifying. After her scream, her voice was caught in her throat as fear consumed her. Her stomach churned, and she couldn't hold back as she vomited. She slid down to the floor, looking disheveled. She looked at Timothy with tears welling up in her eyes. Her face was absolutely pale as she sobbed, shaking like a leaf. "Please… Please spare me… I'm begging you…"Timothy's eyes darkened, a bloodt
Leon's expression was twisted in anger as he shouted, "Did you think I'm powerless against the likes of you? Raise your hands and get on your knees!"Timothy wasn't the least bit surprised. He stared at Leon with deep, intense eyes. "Put the gun down. I don't like being aimed at."Leon cocked the gun and loaded it with a click. His finger rested on the trigger as he sneered. "You're still acting tough at a time like this. I'll admit that you're gutsy, but you must die here today."Timothy shook his head with a regretful expression. "I told you I don't like being aimed at. Put the gun down. If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life. But if you don't put it down in three seconds, I'll have no choice but to send you to hell.""Send me to hell? You don't have what it takes! I've been with Blackgeld for years. I've seen it all," Leon responded.Timothy's expression shifted as he asked, "Has someone in Blackgeld been planning to kidnap Mavis Jefferson, the CEO of Jefferson Group, l
Leon laughed heartily and reached out to grope Cecilia's ample bosom. She let out a soft moan, squeezing her legs together instinctively as arousal traveled up her body. She wrapped herself around Leon like a snake, her eyes seductive as she bit her lip.She whispered, "Leon, I want it again. Come and give it to me."Leon's eyes became bloodshot. "Oh, you little vixen. It seems like you're not satiated yet. I'll make sure you get more than you bargained for today!" He flipped over, positioning himself on top of Cecilia. Just as they were about to enjoy their moment, a knock came from outside. "Hey, open up. Don't be a coward," Timothy called out.Leon shouted mockingly, "Idiot, did you think I'd be stupid enough to just stand where I was and wait for you? You've taken the bait. You're dead meat now!"Outside, Timothy shrugged helplessly and said, "If you open the door now and apologize on your knees, I'll leave your corpse intact. If you don't, things won't end well for you whe
Cecilia stared in disbelief at the man downstairs. It was like something straight out of a movie, yet it was happening vividly right before her eyes. She had never imagined that in real life, someone could actually take on dozens, or even hundreds of men alone. Timothy demonstrated what it meant to be fiercely skilled. Those thugs wielding machetes and clubs became nothing more than straw men in front of him. Every punch, every kick, every movement of his body became a deadly weapon. No one could get close to him. It was as if he had some kind of sixth sense for dodging attacks. He consistently slipped away just before the weapons could land. Timothy moved effortlessly with a relaxed expression. Every one of his moves was fluid and purposeful. One thug after another fell. They were reduced to nothing more than bouncy balls in the courtyard, as they were sent flying in all directions by Timothy's kicks. With each casual slap or kick, someone would be launched through the air.
At that moment, Leon was just done having his way with Cecilia in a luxurious villa. Cecilia lay naked on the bed, her face flushed. Her fair, long legs were posed seductively. Leon, breathing heavily, touched Cecilia's smooth bottom and grinned wickedly. "Babe, you've gotten even better. I almost couldn't handle you."Cecilia looked at him with a seductive gaze, tracing circles on his chest with her finger as she said sweetly, "Leon, I have my eye on a new bag recently. It's so pretty. I want it so badly.""If you want it, just buy it. How much is it?"Cecilia's face lit up, and she replied coquettishly, "It's around 80 thousand dollars."Leon, puffing on a cigar, scoffed. "80 thousand? That's nothing."He got up and walked to the safe in the corner of the bedroom. Then, he entered the code. Cecilia looked over and was stunned. The safe was full of cash and gold bars! Her heart raced as she also saw a gun inside. It was the first time in her life she had seen one, and she was
The store assistant became excited and recounted, "It was a young man, and he just left the store. He didn't dress well and didn't look wealthy. But he came in, barely glanced around, and bought a bracelet. "That bracelet was close to three million dollars, and he bought it right away! We've been in business for several years. This is the first time I've seen someone who keeps such a low profile."Susan was stunned, and Jason was equally shocked. He looked at Susan, swallowed hard, and stammered, "Could it be… Timothy?"Beside him, Susan did her best to suppress the shock she was feeling and asked the store assistant, "Can you describe what he looked like and what he was wearing?"The store assistant described him briefly, and Susan was absolutely flabbergasted. The person she described was indeed Timothy!She felt like she'd just been struck by a bolt of lightning that left her head buzzing. She couldn't believe that Timothy had bought a bracelet that was about three million dol
Susan had broken up with Timothy and cheated on him back then because he was poor. If Timothy was rich now, it would be a bitter pill to swallow for her. But on the other hand, she felt something for Timothy deep in her heart. It was a kind of feeling that she couldn't quite place her finger on. After all, she had genuinely loved Timothy back then. She ultimately left him because he was dirt poor. If he was rich now, wasn't there a possibility for them to rekindle their relationship?Susan refused to believe that Timothy had no lingering feelings for her at all. Back then, he had been so deeply in love with her. In the present time, it didn't seem like he had a girlfriend or a woman by his side. Even if he did, she was probably nowhere as good as her.Those two conflicting thoughts occupied Susan's mind. As such, a conflicted expression appeared on her beautiful, delicate face. Timothy had no idea what was going through Susan's mind at that moment. If he knew, he would have tol
Susan bit her lip, and a complicated expression appeared on her face. Since she and Timothy had been in a relationship in the past, meeting again at this moment was somewhat awkward. After a brief silence, Susan bit her lip again and forced a smile at Timothy. "We meet again. Are you shopping at the mall too? What a coincidence."Timothy shrugged. "It's not a pleasant coincidence, though. After all, someone here clearly doesn't welcome my presence."Without a doubt, he was referring to Jason. Jason's expression soured in response. He glared at Timothy and scoffed coldly as he said mockingly, "It's good that you know. Indeed, I don't wish to see your face. Running into you brings bad luck."He looked Timothy up and down before sneering again, remarking, "It's not that I have bad luck—it's this place. How could someone as broke as you even think of coming here?"Susan tugged at Jason's hand and said with a frown, "Jason, we're all classmates here. Is it necessary to be so harsh w
