As they spoke, an even louder commotion erupted on the stands. Two groups of people emerged from the corridor.One group was led by Regent Aldrich, and the other by Princess Lucia.Though the two groups walked seemingly close, they were clearly separated—their flickering gazes revealed vigilance toward each other.With their appearance, almost all eyes on the stands turned to them.Everyone knew that the Regent and the Princess were the true protagonists of the day.Although today was the young prince’s coronation ceremony, he was still too young. Almost all his power was in the Princess’s hands, so she represented the young prince’s will.Yet despite the undercurrents surging today, the Regent and the Princess still chatted and laughed casually.Under the gaze of the crowd, they walked straight up to the highest stand, where there were three golden stone chairs. They took the seats on the left and right respectively.On the White Jade Square, a grand celebratory prelude was underway.

After a brief encounter with the Baker Family group, Albert and the other two also walked toward the Martin Family's seat.But after taking only a few steps, Albert paused again—because from the side, he saw the entire Brian Family.Kenny, Gaspar, Rebecca.At the same time, the other party also spotted Albert and his companions, their expressions varying.When he saw the Brian Family again here, a slight flicker crossed Albert's eyes. Then an even warmer smile spread across his face. He took the initiative to walk over and said to Kenny with a laugh: Patriarch Kenny, you’re looking more and more energetic. Seeing Albert approach actively, a smile also appeared on Kenny’s face. He replied with a smile: Albert, you’re becoming more and more outstanding. You’re only in the First Star Academy and already a Soul Master. It seems that in a few years, the Martin Family will have another Divine-Rank powerhouse.Not at all, not at all, Albert waved it off. In three years, if Sister Emily and I

They always love messing around with these meaningless things. If they want to fight for power, they should rely on strength, not empty words. I swear allegiance to no one but the peace of Newhurst—for this peace was bought with the lives of countless brothers who died defending Newhurst's borders.Today, Newhurst City was adorned with lanterns and colored streamers everywhere, and various celebration ceremonies unfolded one after another. The atmosphere in the entire city was like a raging fire boiling oil—intense and bustling.At the Martin Family residence.Albert and Emily had finished preparing to go out. Today's coronation ceremony would determine the future pattern of Newhurst, and they naturally couldn't miss it.The morning sun shone down. The young man standing in front of the steps had a straight and upright figure, his unique gray-white hair gleaming brightly in the sunlight. His handsome face, with its statue-like contours, wore a smile that couldn't help but inspire good

Inside the Martin FamilyAlbert, snatching a moment of leisure amid busyness, welcomed a group of friends from the academy. Upon learning the result of the Martin Family Assembly, Adam, Shirley, Sophie, and others all came to congratulate him joyfully.Congratulations, Patriarch Albert! From now on, you’ll be famous throughout Newhurst, and the Martin Family is bound to regain its glory. I hope you’ll remember our past friendship and not forget to help your old pals when you’re in power!When that familiar, carefree voice sounded, a smile appeared on Albert’s face. Adam walked in first, waving to Albert with a playful grin.Actually, I wasn’t too surprised that you became the Martin Family Patriarch, Brother Luo. But your stunning move afterward has got everyone in the academy talking about you, Adam said with a chuckle.What move? Albert asked in astonishment.Adam winked and said, Because you’re the first student in Newhurst Academy’s history to lure a Purple Glow Mentor from the ac

This was clearly not good news for the Regent. For once Ryan resolved the Dark Cave crisis, he would be able to appear in Newhurst—and the Holy Spirit Realm powerhouse would undoubtedly show up at the coronation ceremony the day after tomorrow.Although Newhurst Academy maintained a neutral stance, as the only Holy Spirit Realm powerhouse in Newhurst, Ryan obviously had the qualification to act unscrupulously.What’s more, Ryan wouldn’t even need to intervene in anything. When the time came, he would merely need to stand behind the young prince, and all schemes and plots would collapse on their own.What do you plan to do? The Regent looked at the man with golden and silver pupils, knowing that the latter shared his stance and would never let Ryan break free.The man with golden and silver pupils smiled and said, No need to panic. We’ve been plotting for so many years—how could we let Ryan escape that cage so easily? That would be grossly underestimating our methods. It’s just an acad

As his sleeve swept down, the heaven and earth in all directions seemed to tremble violently at this moment. Wind, fire, thunder, water, and earth rose from the void on all sides. These vast five elements of heavenly and earthly energy condensed into form, gradually transforming into endless giant dragon-elephant phantoms coiling in the void. A terrifying pressure enveloped this realm.Open up chaos, Five Elements Dragon-Elephant Formation!Ryan’s faint voice echoed out. At the same time, ancient and mottled chains seemed to extend from within the five massive energy dragon-elephants, crisscrossing each other as if sealing off the entire heaven and earth.The originally disordered chaos was re-opened at this moment, and all rules manifested once again.Deep in the void rift, within the evil-thought black river, the colossal black fish flicked its tail gently, stirring up huge waves. An ethereal and eerie laugh rang out: Ryan, you truly have impressive methods. So this is what you’ve b

Granger sat in the police car with an extremely indifferent expression. He knew that his life was already ruined anyway, and whether he lived or died next didn't matter at all.Though his expression was calm, his heart still ached terribly.He had endured hardship all his life, loved countless people with inferiority, yet not a single one had truly loved him.He once thought Phyllis was the only person in the world who loved him. That was why he had strived desperately to save money, to give his future mother-in-law enough betrothal gifts to marry Phyllis as his wife.It was precisely for this purpose that he had recklessly given all his savings, along with a $200,000 high-interest loan, to Coleman.But it wasn't until the moment he pushed open Phyllis's bedroom door just now that he truly realized no one had ever loved him in his entire life.As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart.At this moment, Granger's heart was completely dead.......Meanwhi

Little did he know, his girlfriend Phyllis was in her room at that very moment, indulging in an indecent act with one of her clients who bought counterfeit cigarettes.He sent a WeChat call to his girlfriend, but got no response. Thinking she must have fallen asleep, he fetched a key from under a pickle jar at the door of her house.He had accidentally discovered this secret of his future mother-in-law’s—probably due to her advancing age and frequent forgetfulness, she had hidden a spare key there for emergencies.This time, though, it came in handy for Granger.Taking out the key, Granger unlocked the front door and entered the small courtyard of the self-built house.Inside the courtyard, the door leading to the main rooms was closed but not locked.Granger pushed it open and walked in. As he passed through the living room, he suddenly heard a very strange sound coming from the bedroom inside—sounding like his girlfriend’s soft moans.He limped over to the door, and the more he list

Granger came to his senses and quickly said, You need to give me back that 300 US dollars before you leave!The man snapped angrily, Are you kidding me? Do you think I drove all this way for free? This is the repair shop’s truck—once I leave the shop, the repair shop counts it as me taking on a job. Whether I tow your car or not, I have to report the income to the shop when I get back!Granger fumed, I don’t care about your excuses—they have nothing to do with me! All I know is I didn’t end up having you tow the car, so you have to give me back my money!The man lost his temper too and retorted, Are you even listening to me? The repair shop has rules—if the truck goes out, we charge a fee. If I give you back the money, what do I do when the shop asks me for it later?Granger said coldly, The hell do I care what you do? It’s none of my business! Hurry up and give me back my money!The man never expected Granger to be so unreasonable. He fumed, People like you deserve to be scammed—scam

By this point, most of the anger had faded from Quinton’s mind—all that frustration had been channeled into physical force, unleashed squarely on Granger’s body.When he saw someone approaching, and heard the threat of calling the police, Quinton decided it was better to avoid further trouble. He needed to leave quickly; after all, his older brother was still waiting for him at the dinner party.So he turned to Granger and spoke in a cold voice: Kid, you’re lucky to be alive today. Otherwise, I would’ve beaten you to death!With that, he kicked Granger several meters away, pulled out his car keys, and unlocked the door of his Phaeton.Granger was already on the verge of passing out. His eyes, swollen to the size of eggs, were narrowed to tiny slits. But when he suddenly saw Quinton opening the Phaeton’s door and getting in, he panicked instantly!Why are you driving my car! Granger roared, scrambling across the ground toward Quinton.Before Quinton could react, Granger had wrapped his

After saying that, the friend clicked Accept Payment directly and said: This 100 US dollars is what you owed me. If you want me to tow the car, you have to give me another 300 US dollars!You...Granger was almost driven crazy. It was bad enough that this guy refused to help—he even took his 100 US dollars! Now it was even more impossible for him to find someone to tow the car!With no other choice, he gritted his teeth and said: Fine, fine, fine! I’ll borrow money from someone else right now. Once I get 300 US dollars, I’ll give it to you. Then you’ll come help me tow the car, right?The friend grunted in response: Sure. Anyway, I’ve got nothing to do right now—I’ll go once you send the money.Granger immediately sent a group message to his colleagues: It’s Granger. I’m in a big emergency right now and need 300 US dollars to get by. I’ll pay you back as soon as I get my salary!But even though he sent the message to sixty or seventy colleagues, not a single person lent him money.In

So Granger hurriedly hung up the phone, rushed out, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Coleman’s place.Coleman didn’t own a house in Pras City, but he had rented a one-bedroom apartment in a somewhat out-of-the-way area. Before the incident, he’d been living quite comfortably.Granger’s mind was now racing: once he got to Coleman’s apartment, he’d first find a way to have Coleman’s Phaeton towed away. He knew he couldn’t drive the car himself, but after having it towed, he could take his time figuring out how to sell it.He thought that even if he stripped down a fully-loaded Phaeton and sold it for parts, he’d still get back his money. There was no way he’d end up at a loss.What he didn’t know, though, was that at that very moment, Quinton was also watching that viral video online!That day, Mogos had invited Quinton and his core lieutenants to dinner at the Arc de Triomphe Western Restaurant—and Quinton was among them.But halfway through the meal, everyone suddenly turned the
