The Smith family possessed immense wealth and extensive assets. They owned a private jet stationed in Plath City exclusively for Claude’s daily use. As soon as Claude heard Alan planned to travel to Japan, he immediately instructed the jet’s crew to file flight route applications and lock in a departure time.At the same time, he spoke to Alan, Young Master, you’ll be a stranger in Japan with no familiar connections. Let me accompany you. I have established ties with many Japanese corporations and aristocratic clans. If any trouble arises, I can smooth things over for you.Ever since Alan eliminated the Eight Heavenly Kings, Claude had devoted himself wholeheartedly to him, regarding Alan as his sole master. Alan could tell the man was now one hundred percent trustworthy and entirely under his control. He had no objections to letting Claude tag along.Alan told him, Very well. Arrange the jet, and bring two or three of your most capable subordinates to come with us.He then glanced at

Securing Kobayashi Pharmaceutical hinges entirely on the help of the two biological brothers, Ichiro Kobayashi and Jiro Kobayashi.In Mogos’ car, Alan asked him, How have Ichiro Kobayashi and Jiro Kobayashi been behaving at the dog farm lately?Mogos let out a sheepish grin. Master Alan, the two brothers have been doing well here. They work hard and don’t dare show off anywhere. But they cannot be allowed to cross paths—they’re like two dogs with a blood feud. They’ll start fighting the second they lay eyes on each other. I’ve assigned them to separate work zones to keep them apart as much as possible.Alan nodded faintly. There was a deep, unresolvable hatred between Ichiro and Jiro Kobayashi.Ichiro, in particular, had suffered terribly at Alan’s hands. Alan had swindled him once, and the scheme had even indirectly poisoned their father to death. His misfortune only worsened when his own younger brother kicked him while he was down: Jiro framed him for murdering their father with po

The old matriarch frowned and asked, What image allowance are you talking about?Tasha put on a sweet, ingratiating tone. Grandma, think about it. I’m the Business Director of Mill Group now. This position requires constant external dealings, and I represent the company’s image every time I step out. My outfits, makeup and skincare products all need to match the brand’s standing.Old Lady Xiao rolled her eyes at her. Quit beating around the bush. Just spit out what you want.Tasha said, Grandma, I want to apply for fifty thousand US dollars. I need a handbag, a new wardrobe, plus makeup and skincare supplies.Fifty thousand dollars?! The old woman let out a cold snort. Do you honestly think money grows on trees around here?A hint of hurt crossed Tasha’s face. Grandma, Sanderson already injected funds into us, and the company accounts are flush. Fifty thousand dollars is nothing to our business.The matriarch snapped angrily, Nothing? Let me tell you exactly what happened. People thou

At first, Nora tried every means to curry favor with the old matriarch and Jared, hoping to win back their forgiveness. She even specially prepared an abalone feast for him and bought pricey king crab to nourish his body. Though her good intentions backfired, she’d genuinely tried to ingratiate herself to them.Yet Nora kept getting nothing but cold shoulders in return, and now she’d reached the point of throwing caution to the wind.Recently, the Mill Group secured investment from Sanderson, restarted its operations, and got back on track thanks to Sanderson’s support. All members of the Mill family returned to work at the group.The old matriarch remained the one holding all the power. Jared took the position of General Manager, Carlson served as Director of Operations, and Tasha became Director of Business Development.The four of them commuted to and from work together every single day, growing even more distant from Nora as a result.Now Nora’s role in the household was little mo

When Gilmore once showed off the Rolex Ariana had given him to Alan inside the car, Mia had been sitting in the back seat the whole time.So she knew full well that her father was only putting on a show by asking Alan for a Rolex. What he really wanted was an excuse to openly wear the watch Ariana had gifted him without hiding it.Mia felt a twinge of unease deep down, but when she thought back on the old troubles between her parents and all the grievances her father had endured over the years, she decided to turn a blind eye to the matter.What Mia hadn’t anticipated was that her mother would jump on the bandwagon too, begging Alan to buy her a Rolex as well.She quickly spoke to Ivy, Mom, Rolex watches are designed mostly for men—they wouldn’t suit you at all. If you really love watches, I’ll get you a ladies’ Tissot later.Ivy scoffed dismissively, Don’t try to fool me. That brand’s watches are cheap rubbish; they can’t hold a candle to a Rolex. I want nothing to do with it!Alan c

Alan had driven home, so he could not carry all the gifts on his person. That was why she craned her neck to peek inside the car, hoping to spot the presents he had brought.Just then, Gilmore, Mia’s father, stepped out. He twisted an unassuming string of red sandalwood prayer beads between his fingers and greeted him with a warm smile. Alan, you’re back at last. How did everything go in Neon City these past few days?Alan offered a faint smile. Everything went smoothly, Dad.Gilmore nodded. I’m glad to hear it.Ivy caught sight of several gift boxes resting on the back seat, yet the tinted windows blocked her view of what exactly they were. Overcome with impatience, she pressed him eagerly. Dear son-in-law, what are all those boxes back there? Are they gifts you brought for us?Alan nodded and smiled. I picked out some presents for you and Dad while I was in Neon City.Ivy’s face lit up instantly, brimming with delight. You really are my perfect son-in-law, always thinking of me. Hur

She sat with an easy, unhurried bearing, yet a faint, terrifying aura radiated from her mere presence, stirring an inexplicable sense of dread in anyone nearby.A Spirit Lord powerhouse!Albert was no stranger to such oppressive pressure, and he instantly deduced the woman’s formidable standing.As Albert stared in surprise, the woman in jade armor lifted her eyes and smiled. You must be Albert.Albert stepped forward and clasped his fists in respect. Junior Albert greets the elder.Tutor Illya at his side smiled and said, Albert, this is Vice Dean Cynthia.Joy immediately bloomed across Albert’s face upon hearing this. He had finally found the woman he sought. Though he did not yet know the exact bond between her and Dean Lane, she was clearly nothing like Theodore. Having a sympathetic vice dean with sway within Heavenly Origin Ancient Academy would undoubtedly smooth out countless troubles for them.Albert bowed deeply. It is a great honor to finally meet Vice Dean Cynthia.Cynthia

Beneath Cynthia’s suspicious stare, Vice Dean Theodore’s expression flickered with tangled emotions, a bitter grievance welling up inside him for no clear reason. It was not that he had refrained from making things difficult for them—that young Albert was simply monstrously overpowered.Beside him, Vice Dean Ackerman chuckled and went on. It’s quite an amusing tale, you know. Newhurst High-Grade Academy sent only a single disciple from their Three-Star Courtyard this time. He formed a squad of one, and in the finals, single-handedly eliminated three fully staffed teams from the Inner Divine Continent.Cynthia’s astonishment deepened, and she could not help but exclaim, A single Three-Star Courtyard disciple defeated three complete Inner Divine Continent squads? Can such a monstrous prodigy truly emerge from an Outer Divine Continent academy? Lane wields far greater influence than I thought.A genius of this caliber was an extreme rarity—not just among Outer Continent academies, but ev

Yet there was nothing they could do—luck had simply turned its back on them. Truth be told, their misfortune ran deep. With their strength, claiming a First-Class quota in this Assessment should have been a straightforward matter, yet no one could have foreseen Albert charging forth as an unforeseen roadblock. Not only did they lose out on the coveted quota, they had unwittingly become the stepping stones that catapulted Albert to widespread fame.From then on, whenever Albert’s name was spoken across all the academies, the three of them would inevitably be cast as the foils in his legend.Shortly after the quotas were finalized, the planned award ceremony was abruptly canceled. Vice Deans Theodore and Ackerman turned and departed swiftly, right before the eyes of the entire crowd.Disciples from every high-grade academy present voiced their confusion aloud.Luckily, tutors from Heavenly Origin Ancient Academy stepped forward at once to calm the crowd, assuring all academies that all

Owen and Mario standing beside her were equally stunned stiff. Even Owen, who was usually calm and restrained, could not utter a single word at this moment.With a true cultivation base of merely Five-Star Astral Realm, he had steamrolled three fully staffed squads each led by an Intermediate Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator… If anyone claimed Albert was an Advanced Heavenly Spirit Realm expert right now, everyone would readily believe it.But the truth was, he was not.That was what made him utterly monstrous.Mario sighed in awe. No wonder cultivators from the Outer Divine Continent always choose to journey to the Inner Divine Continent first. The opportunities and cultivation conditions here are truly unparalleled.Nicholas and Owen nodded in full agreement. As the three of them marveled, the Outer Divine Continent academy disciples in the stands erupted into thunderous cheers. While Albert’s First-Class quota victory held no direct benefit for them, he still represented an academy

Judging by their current state, they had clearly been grievously wounded and knocked unconscious. Without the arena’s protective enchantments, they would have been reduced to nothing but ash beneath Albert’s prior strike.A wave of collective gasps rippled across the circular spectator stands at this sight.The moment Elise, Zachary and their teammates came into view, the outcome of the final battle was all but settled.That overwhelmingly terrifying stream of sword light from Albert had swept across the entire battlefield and wiped out all three squads in a single blow?!Deafening thunderous uproar erupted through the stands.Wait—where’s Ivry? I don’t see him! someone suddenly cried out in shock.The crowd snapped to attention, realizing none of the fallen figures matched Ivry’s form. Where had he vanished to?Over there!A shout cut through the noise, drawing countless pairs of eyes toward a pile of rubble on the arena floor, where pitch-black toxic liquid oozed out from the debris

The lightning python tore through the sky, charging straight toward Albert to strike him down.More than that, Zachary stirred his mind, and the hovering Golden Soul Seal slowly descended to merge into the thousand-meter lightning python. The python’s bulk instantly expanded several times over, unleashing its power to the absolute limit.This was one of the abilities of the Golden Soul Seal: it could amplify the might of soul cultivation arts.At the same time, sinister-looking dark gold gauntlets materialized over Elise’s fists, also marked with two faintly flickering purple eye runes.Elise had a petite frame, yet at this moment, terrifying physical strength erupted from within her. Behind her, multicolored soul force surged, conjuring the phantom of a massive five-colored divine ox.Elise formed a fist seal, her delicate features etched with gravity. The power flowing beneath her fists rippled faint distortions across the void.Her small-looking fists held enough force to flatten a
