Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!The doorbell rang incessantly, shattering the silence of the night. Its sound was so impatient, as if its owner had no time to wait even a second.Victor, who had just stepped out of the bathroom with dripping wet hair, hurriedly grabbed a small towel to dry his hair. He walked quickly toward the door, slightly annoyed by the bell that kept ringing without pause.Click!"Why did it take so long?!" Selena snapped as soon as the door opened. Her face was flushed, whether from annoyance or from the cold night wind. "Are your ears broken that you can't hear the bell I've been pressing over and over?"Victor stood in the doorway wearing a casual gray t-shirt that was still slightly damp clinging to his body. His hair was messy, water droplets still running down his temples. "I just took a shower, Selena. It's unusual for you to come without giving notice. I—"Before he could finish speaking, Selena had already strutted in without waiting for permission. She

The clinking of crystal glasses echoed throughout the room, accompanied by laughter and endless business conversations. The luxurious chandelier lights reflected golden glimmers in every corner of the room, creating the perfect glamorous atmosphere for a high-class gala dinner.Yet, amidst all this opulence, Dave felt suffocated. "Boring," he muttered quietly.He swept his gaze around. So many people interacting tirelessly, shaking hands, making small talk, fake laughing. Meanwhile, Dave just sat frozen, watching all this charade with an empty stare.Dave felt truly tortured. Not just because the event felt endless, but also because he wasn't used to his new world yet—a world full of fakeness and hidden agendas.Unable to take it anymore, he straightened up and adjusted his slightly wrinkled suit."Young Master, where are you going?" Michael asked alertly as soon as he noticed Dave's sudden movement.Dave turned while taking a long breath, a clear sign of boredom. Michael immediately

Brianna strode forward gracefully on her long legs. Each tap of her high heels on the marble floor successfully drew the attention of everyone present in the room.She arrived dressed in a simple yet stunning black dress—its length about two centimeters above her ankles, giving an elegant yet assertive impression to her figure. The off-shoulder dress sleeves fell to cover her elbows, revealing her slender shoulders. She seemed to blend perfectly with her outfit choice, while a small clutch in her hand added extra points to her captivating appearance.Her long hair, left flowing with curls at the ends, made her seem to shine amid the crowd that evening."Look at the daughter of Albert Group," an investor whispered to his colleague. "She looks so radiant, even amid the luxury of this venue. Nothing can catch my attention except that woman.""Right," his friend agreed. "Her appearance is so striking. No one can match her elegance tonight."Whispers about Brianna, the daughter of the cong

Selena tried to smile, forcing herself to act normal even though she was actually annoyed by Dave's words. Her hand, still holding Dave's arm, trembled slightly—whether from nervousness or anger, even Selena herself wasn't sure."Threatened? Of course not," Selena said in a forced cheerful tone. "Actually, we're happy to have healthy competition in the business world. Dad always says competition makes us stronger."Dave raised one eyebrow, a thin smile still fixed on his face. He could clearly see the tension in the corners of Selena's eyes, the way she bit her lower lip slightly, a habit that always appeared when Selena was lying."Oh, really?" Dave replied casually. "I'm glad to hear it. So your family won't mind if Centratama Group wins, right?"Selena's smile almost faded, but she forced herself to keep smiling. Her fingers gripped Dave's jacket sleeve tighter."Dave, we were married once. Shouldn't we support each other?" Selena said softly, her eyes looking at Dave with a gaze t

The thunderous applause echoed in the hotel ballroom. VIP guests and rows of investors gathered at their respective assigned tables. In the dimly lit atmosphere, the sole spotlight shone on the stage. "Honored guests! Tonight you will meet Mr. Warles, the leader of the major Warleslock Company Group who has survived through business innovations, drawing the attention of investors!"After the MC spoke, Mr. Warles stood up from his seat and gave a brief wave to the guests and investors. His smile curved triumphantly."Wow, Mr. Warles' reputation is undoubtedly deserved. His journey in the business world has been so long that Warleslock Company Group became the second most influential company!"Again, thunderous applause filled the room. The MC's words made Mr. Warles just laugh calmly while placing a hand on his chest, a sign of thanks."It's a pity we have to get the news that Mr. Ramirez, the leader of Centratama Group, is still in critical condition in the hospital," said the MC.

"Miss Brianna, I have to leave now," Dave immediately stood up after saying that without waiting for Brianna's response.It could be ensured that Dave walked hurriedly followed by Michael behind him, as if there was something that made him have to rush away at that moment.Meanwhile, Brianna could only sigh, letting Dave leave without being able to stop his steps."He's leaving me alone without manners, just wait until we meet again, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."Instantly, Brianna fell silent, feeling lonely in a place that was actually quite crowded.***"Welcome back to the Centratama Group family, Dave Ramirez."While tightly gripping his briefcase handle, Dave stared blankly at Maximus's figure. A few moments ago, while in the car on the way to this mansion, Michael informed him that Maximus was already waiting for his arrival.Dave was also surprised by how big this mansion was. He didn't expect that he would be able to set foot in a place like this. Was he really f

"Master..."A scream followed the woman's presence. A pained cry full of worry. Fenrir immediately lunged at Silya's body, which looked so limp and helpless. Fenrir managed to catch Silya's head which almost fell to the ground. Fenrir worriedly channeled his mana to try to heal Silya. "What happened to you, master Silya?"Fenrir unconsciously shed tears seeing Silya's limp and wounded state. The clothes attached to Silya's body were full of blood and there were many open wounds all over her body. Edgar, who was also shocked by Silya's condition, immediately ordered to call the healer troops to help Fenrir heal Silya. "Who has done all this to you, master Silya?"Fenrir continued to channel his mana to stop the bleeding on Silya's body. Some of the wounds looked so big and Fenrir could tell they were wounds from torture, because Fenrir had been tortured by Zeldris so many times that Fenrir knew exactly what they looked like. It was a wound from the lash of a slave whip. "Is that y

This morning the weather was very cloudy. I don't know how long it had been since the Seth Duat Desert was shaded by black clouds like today. Fenrir was seen opening a few pages from his mother's book as if to release his curiosity and nostalgia for his mother. Fenrir is now quite confident that he can use the entire contents of the book considering that his body's strength has increased rapidly. Even Fenrir can now remove all of his mana restraining rings and earrings without fear of losing consciousness. Fenrir was also quite sure he could remove the seals in his eyes without losing control. But Fenrir chose not to because he did not want the people around him to feel the impact of the immense magic power he possessed. "What book are you reading, sir?"A boy about five years old asked Fenrir about the book he was holding. Seth Duat was now a fairly safe and well-visited region after news of Wukong's conquest had spread throughout the Empire. Many merchants brought their families

With a sharp gaze Fenrir prepared to draw his sword. There was no hesitation in his eyes. "...No, sir. Forgive me..." Wukong again begged for forgiveness. "...I will definitely keep my promise. You can perform the golden headband technique on me to make sure I always obey your orders...""What is the golden headband technique?""...It's a special technique to curb my power. Every time you recite the incantation, it will bring unbearable pain to me, and it will make me follow all your orders. This technique was once created by a god to punish unruly servants..."Fenrir was quite curious about the veracity of Wukong's story. From his current state, Wukong would not dare to lie to Fenrir, because Wukong was also unlikely to escape with a body full of wounds. "Alright, teach me the spell."Wukong taught Fenrir the golden headband technique. Soon a headband appeared on Wukong's head. "...Look master. This is a sign that I am fully under your control..."Fenrir could also see a golden

An enormous dark red lightning bolt was seen striking in the middle of the battle. Its flashes of light illuminated the night revealing the blood-soaked land produced by the battle between the knights and Wukong. The lightning struck the body of Wukong who was being surrounded by dozens of Nordam Empire knights. The impact caused the knights around Wukong to bounce off as well. Wukong couldn't move from the magnitude of the attack. His body seemed to be rooted to the spot, paralyzed. The power of the Swordmage judgment strike sword technique that was strengthened by Suzaku's fire really gave damage that Wukong could not block. Seeing Wukong who began to fall, the knights were increasingly eager to immediately defeat Wukong. They attacked Wukong with all their might. The strength of the Nordam knights was no less great. After all, they were the chosen ones who were under direct orders from Edgar. With various attacks ranging from sword techniques, arrows, and magic were deployed to s

"This will be a long night. Our hunt in this barren land will soon end. I will lead you to victory.""To victory.""To victory."Edgar's short speech was followed by cheers from his troops, showing the spirit of the knights ready to fight on the battlefield.Tonight was the night Fenrir had been waiting for since he arrived in Seth Duat. After three months of struggling with monster hunting to extract their crystals and performing bone forging techniques on his body to have a much stronger physique, it was now time for Fenrir to show that these three months hadn't been wasted. Together with Mercia and Loki by his side, along with Edgar and the Nordam Empire knights he led, tonight they would finally attack Wukong's lair.The Scout troops had successfully confirmed Wukong's whereabouts after months of monitoring his movements. And tonight would be their first direct attack on Wukong's lair.Previously, Edgar and his troops had never directly attacked Wukong's lair and were more defensi

"This will be the last crystal shard I implant in your body."Edgar placed a dark purple crystal on Fenrir's back."After three months of crystal hunting and hundreds of crystals used for bone forging, this shard will finally be the last piece to complete the technique we've been working on."Using a mysterious technique, Edgar made the crystal on Fenrir's back emit a dark purple aura. The aura slowly entered Fenrir's body, causing him to flinch slightly. Fenrir felt again the warm sensation penetrating the bones in his back. A sensation that had become like daily food for him over these three months."It seems your body has absorbed it perfectly. With this, we can be sure that your body is now equivalent to an S-rank Warrior."Edgar patted Fenrir's shoulders with relief and pride. Because with this, he officially had an S-level disciple.Fenrir looked quite tired after going through this whole process, but the results obtained were far more than worthy of fighting for. Now Fenrir fel
