He then looked at Albert and asked, Are you willing to go retrieve the Flame Infant Saint Fruit for Joseph?Upon hearing this, Albert could not help but heave a stirring sigh.With a single sentence, Thomas had not only allowed him to take the First Institute on a mission openly and legitimately, but had even found him three allies.In that moment, he grasped a simple yet profound truth.In this world, no matter how strong your fist is, it cannot compare to a powerful background.On the day after the small gathering in the Bamboo Garden, Albert felt his state was perfect and complete, so he hesitated no longer and prepared to begin refining the Profound Yellow Dragon Aura.Inside the cultivation chamber at the top floor of Albert’s residence.He sat cross-legged on the central stone platform. Before him floated five jade vials, each containing a wisp of golden Profound Yellow Dragon Aura flowing gently.Albert stared at the vials, his expression slightly solemn. Then, with a thought,

He wasn’t really that interested in the Dragon Head title. After all, he cared more about tangible benefits. But if winning the position of Dragon Head was the only way to claim the Nine-Pattern Sacred Heart Lotus, then he would just have to oblige.I only wanted to develop quietly, but you’re forcing me to become the Dragon Head.Thomas greatly admired Albert’s courage to face any battle. Their Dragon Fang Clan was famous for its offensive prowess, and what they needed was exactly this kind of spirit—fearless against strong enemies, unwilling to admit defeat. Oddballs like Dale were, after all, extremely rare.Thomas thought for a moment and said,Since you have this confidence, then first try to seize the Dragon Head. If you fail by then, I will obtain the Nine-Pattern Sacred Heart Lotus through other means. I’ll just pay a higher price if I have to.He knew the lotus was extremely important to Albert. So even if Albert did not become the Dragon Head in the end, he had no intention

This type of Light Soul Physique produces a protective profound light with two or three colors, which is why it is also known as the Three‑Light Glazed Layer.Thomas pointed at the Nine‑Aperture Gold Stone inside the purple jade box and said slowly,My request for you is that you must cultivate the Three‑Light Glazed Layer.Albert was not surprised; he only let out a helpless, bitter smile.He should have known.Still, Grandfather’s expectations of him were far too high.The Three‑Light Glazed Layer would be an immense challenge.Well? Do you have the confidence? the old man asked with a smile.Albert paused for a moment and asked,What benefits does the Three‑Light Glazed Layer bring?Back in the Newhurst Empire, there had been no such concept as the Three‑Light Glazed Layer.There, anyone who could form a Light Soul Physique was already considered a prodigy among their peers. Few cared how many colors the glazed protective profound light had.Perhaps the conditions for the Three‑Lig

But Albert’s victory this time had silenced much of that talk.Although some still argued that Albert’s real strength was far inferior to Barron and the others, his rise within the Dragon Fang Clan had become unstoppable.Once Albert caught up in his own strength, he might well become a strong contender for the leader of the young generation among the Five Dragon Lines.While the outside world buzzed with the news, Albert stayed indoors for days, rarely even stepping into the square.For him, the top priority was to adjust his state. Once he reached perfect condition, he would refine the five wisps of Profound Yellow Dragon Aura and prepare to break through to the Soul Physique Realm.This period of secluded cultivation was interrupted, however, by Thomas’s return to the mountain.Behind Dragon Fang Mountain lay the Bamboo Garden.Thomas had personally cooked a table of spirit bamboo shoots. Besides Albert, Dale and Isabel were also present.In the entire Dragon Fang Clan, probably on

Dale was sweating profusely. He shook his head quickly and put on a flattering look.What are you saying, Second Sister! I really just didn’t think this was any kind of special skill. And I didn’t dare tell anyone! The Tooth Killing Art is our Dragon Fang Clan’s famous offensive technique, but I ended up mastering it like this. I was afraid people would laugh at me!Dale pulled a long face.I was also scared of being scolded by my father and the elders. That’s why I hid it. It’s definitely not because I wanted to watch you stand up for me!Isabel crossed her arms and let out a cold hmph.Dale forced a dry laugh, took out a jade vial containing the Profound Yellow Dragon Aura he had just obtained, and held it out.Second Sister, this is for you. Don’t be mad, okay?I don’t want it! Isabel refused flatly.Dale had no choice but to glance at Albert for help. He had known all along that once his strength was exposed, Isabel would tear into him. That was why he had rushed over to Albert’s

Amid the noisy atmosphere, Verity landed in front of the Fire Lotus Battalion. She tilted her head slightly, her hair drifting down her stunning, jade‑like cheek. Her crystal‑clear, straight nose rose like a distant mountain, making her facial features even more defined and exquisite.Her red lips pressed gently together, seeming a little disappointed over her loss this time.That heartbreakingly beautiful sight made many men feel sorry for her. Several captains who were close to her stepped out from the Fire Lotus Battalion and comforted her thoughtfully.Verity responded with a light smile, calming her mind. Her gaze then swept over to Albert not far away, who stood brilliantly amid the cheers of the First Institute members. Her clear, lake‑like eyes flickered faintly; no one knew what she was thinking.She then walked through the crowd toward Patty.She first bowed slightly to Virgil and said, Elder, Verity has failed you. I’m sorry to have let you down.Virgil waved his hand with

Yeah, Mia said. The family couldn’t afford a bigger place, so she and her brother shared a room when they were little. Later, she went to school in another city. By the time she graduated from college, her brother was already a grown man, and they couldn’t share a room anymore. So my classmate came to Plass City to work and rented a place here.She sighed. Today’s her wedding day, and by tradition, she has to leave from her parents’ home. That’s why she came back last night.Alan nodded slightly. Back in the day, when someone married off their daughter in a neighborhood, they’d at least put up an archway at the gate. Why didn’t your classmate’s family do anything?Mia said helplessly: Her family doesn’t want her to marry the guy because he won’t pay the bride price. But she’s pregnant, right? So she has no other choice. I heard her family is furious and won’t even acknowledge her. They said when she gets married today, the whole family won’t go—she can leave by herself if she wants.A

She had been forced to go with Gaisley, only to be dumped by him and passed on to Baldwin.Being with Baldwin was bad enough, but while she was with him, she had gained nothing at all. Instead, she had been made to lick a whole row of urinals at the Splendid Club alongside him. That incident had completely destroyed her reputation in Plass City.Now she was nothing but a laughingstock in the city, talked about and sneered at behind her back by countless people.Tasha believed all of this was her cousin Mia’s fault!So she wanted to see Mia fall harder than anyone else.Suddenly, a vicious plan formed in her mind. She said:Grandma, I have a great idea. If we pull it off, Mr. Sanderson will surely be very pleased—he might even reward us greatly.The Mill matriarch hurried to ask:What plan? Speak quickly!Tasha’s face turned cold as she said viciously:Isn’t Mia the one Alan loves the most? And it seems they still haven’t consummated their marriage. In other words, Mia is still a virgi

Carlson felt as if he had been dealt one heavy blow after another.He stared dumbfounded and said: How the hell did that loser Alan get his hands on such an expensive car? And not just one—he actually has two!Jared’s face was also dark: Alan must be out scamming people again! I just don’t get it—did all the rich people in Plass City get kicked in the head? Why the hell do they all trust this loser?!Carlson was also miserable and snapped angrily: I’ve been waiting for that bastard Alan to crash and burn, but he’s still doing fine!Tasha’s eyes reddened as she said miserably: If it weren’t for Alan, Brother Saul and I would’ve gotten married long ago. Our family wouldn’t be in such a mess, and Mom wouldn’t have been sent to that black coal mine to suffer so much.Jared snapped angrily: Don’t mention that wretched woman!Just then, the Mill matriarch watched as Alan and Mia pulled up in the strange‑looking car. She stepped up to the driver’s door, looked at Alan inside, and said arroga

Jared was always incompetent, and Carlson was even worse—asking him to find ways to make money for the company was next to impossible.He’d been with the Mill Group for several years, yet had not completed a single business deal. He was utterly useless.As for Tasha, there was nothing to say. After graduating from college, she did nothing but idle around all day.When she first dated Saul, she did nothing but spend money. After breaking up with Saul, she went with Gethry, then Baldwin. Now she not only had no business skills at all, but her reputation was completely ruined. She was completely unreliable.But the Mill matriarch was getting old; she couldn’t do everything herself anymore, and her strength was failing. Under these circumstances, she increasingly realized that Mia—the granddaughter she had always looked down on—was actually the most capable person in the entire Mill family.So even though she had come to taunt Ivy, her real goal was to use her overwhelming advantage to ma

So the matriarch was convinced that Allen’s family could barely afford to live in Tomson Yipin, and when it came to real wealth, they were no match for her now.She had once swallowed her pride and begged them to come back when the family needed them, making a complete fool of herself. Yet they’d looked down on her and flatly refused to return to the Mill family. Now that the Mill family had weathered the storm, it was high time to get all that lost face back!The Bentley Continental pulled up in front of Allen’s villa. Carlson glanced at the matriarch beside him and asked: Grandma, shall I go knock on the door?No need. The Mill matriarch sneered: Honk the horn and get Ivy out here.Jared looked up and spotted more than twenty green hats hanging on Ivy’s balcony. He snapped in a rage: That bastard Ivy! She’s obsessed with hanging those green hats out. It’s been days, and she still won’t take them down. Damn her!The Mill matriarch said coolly: If she wants to hang them, let her. They

The miserable Jess finally had the ruby necklace removed from his intestines after undergoing surgery.Fifteen days of strict bed rest awaited him, so he had no choice but to lie obediently in the intensive care ward of his family’s hospital.The pain pump could not be used continuously, as it would harm his body, so it was removed on the second day after the operation.Thus, he was left writhing in unceasing agony in his bed.The more intense the pain, the deeper his hatred for Alan grew.He longed to recover quickly, then rush to Plass City to settle the score with Alan—preferably to tear him limb from limb. Otherwise, he would not live up to his title as the Third Young Master of the Dewinsell family.But Alan did not give him a second thought at all.Mia’s high school classmate was getting married on the weekend, and Alan had promised his wife that he would borrow the two luxury cars to be the wedding cars for her classmate. So on Friday, he called Bert directly and told him to ar
