After Edward’s getting into the taxi, the female driver remained tight-lipped, leaving Edward at a loss for words. He racked his brain for something to say to break the stifling silence.Finally, he mustered up the courage to compliment her.“Hello, madam. I must say, you’re an absolute knockout. I like your gloves especially.”“Thank you,’ the female driver replied curtly, her widened eyes glued to the road ahead. It looked like she was serious about her job.Careless about her lack of enthusiasm, Edward continued, “And might I have the pleasure of knowing your name?”He knew too well that the FS Hotel he had been staying might as well be on the side of the moon. It was so far from his destination, the Sixth Avenue. If he was not wrong, it was at least ten miles away.At the moment, Edward had no appetite for the humdrum scenery outside the car window. The passing vehicles, as well as the throngs of walking people on the sidewalk, did not tickle his fancy one bit—he had been accustom

Before the two fireballs could reach the burly digital foe on the screen, they transformed into majestic fire phoenixes, soaring toward him with ferocity. As they flew past, the beefy guy was engulfed in flames, quickly reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes. Edward's jaw dropped in awe, realizing that this must be the legendary Phoenix Strike - a move so powerful that it could obliterate even the toughest of opponents. [Congratulations!

"You are Derek, a level-two hitman at the Sloth Gang. Am I right?” Edward said with a sly grin. Turning to the fat man, he added, “And you are David, you are a level-three hitman working for the Sloth Gang. You were notorious for your indolence before joining the gang, so I guess that puts you one notch above the scrawny Derek.” Derek and David exchanged a surprised glance, wondering how this stranger knew their positions in the gang. They were starting to believe that Edward might be one of them, but they weren’t fully convinced yet. “Why’d you come alone, and without wheels?” David asked, perplexed. “Our big brother wants to keep things on the down-low. We can’t draw too much attention, you know. It’s all about safety and discretion,” Edward replied, affecting a nonchalant air. “Fair enough. Well, come with us. The goods are in the room, but can you handle them all by yourself?” Dereck challenged him. “No sweat. Don’t let my handsome face fool you. You know, I’m not just a pre

This time, Edward decided to take a loss of 5,000 dollars. Thus, he bought 10 lots of EURUSD, and set a stop loss of 50 pips.[Well done! Trading is a probabilistic game.

Chapter 19 Met an Angel Early in the morning on the second day, Lily rose with the sun as the early birds on the branches of trees were chirping happily on the branches of trees outside the building. She stretched herself and then padded to the living room, she caught sight of Edward’s handsome face as he still slept soundly on the sofa. His gentle snoring was quite like a soothing melody to her ears. She couldn’t help but beam with affection, feeling that every inch of him was simply adorable. Resolving to do something special for him, she decided to whip up a breakfast that would make his taste buds dance with delight later on. ‘After all, a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, right?’ she thought with a smile. ‘Since he is going to help me with my job, I should cook something delicious for him.’ After a quick and simple wash-up, she sauntered into the kitchen, ready to unleash all of her culinary skills. With deft hands and the poise of a seasoned chef, she crafted a
