When Julian started the deadly game without the kickoff given, Veyron and Lyra thought he had lost himself and was acting out of impulse. Who could have thought that there would be a twist? As the knife reached for her, her face paled. She had been enjoying herself as she pointed the gun at Brittany's head, liking how she had the woman’s life on her fingertips, but now, she was mistaken. Julian had attached her instead. Swoosh! However, just as the knife was about to strike her head, Veyron appeared beside her and grabbed the handle. Lyra was so pale that she could swear she had begun to pee on herself. If not for Veyron, she could have died just now. The knife would have run through her head, splitting it into two and turning her brain into chunks. By now, she would be dead. The thought of her lying on the floor and jerking as she plummeted into the abyss of death left her in fright. Her grip on the gun loosened, and it fell on the floor. Veyron looked at her and was about

Veyron finally recovered after crashing so far away. His skin was so bruised up, and his mouth began coughing up blood that was mixed with some of his internal organs. Before him, there became a pool of unsightly things that he had just vomited. The pain was still in his system, almost like it would push him to have a stroke. “Damn it! Even though he is surprisingly stronger than I expected, how is he getting the edge over me?” Veyron wandered in misery. He had achieved level five cultivation a few months ago and should go even further. But Julian didn’t look like he had achieved level five yet, and still, he was being suppressed and beaten this badly. It was such an insult to his pride, ego, and the temple he came from. If Lu Tian heard he ended up like this, he wouldn’t only punish him, but also, how could he face Henry, whom he had mocked and belittled before coming here? “Damn it!” He cursed again and struggled to get up. His body staggered a bit like a drunk before he wa

In less than two hours, Brittany drove into Citadel Estate. She had to navigate the roads just to find the shortest route to the estate. Throughout, she felt conflicted and disturbed as to why Julian preferred to be taken home instead of the hospital. She had driven past a couple of health centers that could have been able to help, yet she couldn't stop because she wanted to adhere to his request. “You better not die, or else I won’t forgive you.” She warned him shortly after she helped him out of the car and began to lead him into the house. Julian could hear her word for word but couldn’t utter a thing yet, or he might expend the little energy he was reserving to stay alive. Perhaps if he hadn’t fought the fierce battle, he might have had a chance to go home to take treatment. However, Qi wasn’t something one could manipulate from nature and use at will. Everyone had energy cores. Think of it like a heart, and for the body to function, it has to pump blood through different v

“Ju——,“ it was Flourish. She was the one by the door with Lucas. She had been calling Julian’s phone for a while now and had been so worried since he had stormed out of the office earlier and she didn’t get a response on what was going on.Also, Lucas had refused to stay still. He kept insisting she take him home, and when she saw it was getting so late and there hadn’t been a response from Julian, she decided to bring him herself.However, she had never thought or expected to bump into him like this…shirtless. She froze. Her expression turned grim as she had never seen or imagined he would look so good without his shirt on.The arms, the muscles—it was like those movie stars on TV. How was he looking so good? Perhaps he does some workout or something.“Who is it?”Shortly, Brittany's voice came from behind when she saw how stuck Julian was on the door. It didn’t take long for the whole tension to shift.Both Lucas and Flourish looked over and saw Brittany. At once, they suspected wh

Julian returned to the living room and found Brittany seated on the couch, seemingly lost in her thoughts. He began to wonder if she was thinking about what Lucas had said or if there was something else bothering her.She noticed his presence and looked at him.“Where’s your shirt? You are making me uncomfortable.” She flushed and looked away.“My shirt? You took them off. Why are you blaming me?” Julian raised a brow at her.“Well, I was only trying to take care of you. But now…you seem fine.” She stuttered before completing the sentence.“Who said I am fine?” Julian grinned and walked to the couch to sit. He immediately wanted to pretend he was still very sick so perhaps she could press her giant bust on him just like she did before when he noticed her change of expression.Something was bothering her.He proceeded to ask. “What’s wrong?”She sighed, preparing herself for what she wanted to say.“I think I should be going home. I can see Lucas has already chosen for you. Also…” she
