31. Tom
“Thanks for saving us. By the way, how did you know what was about to happen?” Becca asked, glancing at Wallace the moment they were sure they had reached a safe place.“Let’s just say it was my instincts,” Wallace replied.Judging by the sincerity in his voice, it was hard for her to tell whether he really meant it or if he was hiding something.The next morning, a sleek limousine pulled up right in front of Wallace's house. As the driver stepped out, the noise drew Wallace to the front door. He stepped outside and was shocked by the sight.“Mr. Smith, Miss Winthrop asked me to bring you over,” the driver said politely, lowering his head.Wallace's expression darkened slightly. For the first time since arriving in this modern world, he felt a flash of nostalgia for his past life, where he was accustomed to being served by loyal servants.With a slight nod, he got into the car. He looked incredibly sharp, dressed in a tailored grey Italian tuxedo.The moment the limousine arrived at t
32. The auction
A few minutes later, the auctioneer took the stage to introduce the latest items. This time around, they were traditional artifacts that still held historical value.The moment Becca's eyes began to scan the stage, her heart grew heavy. She didn't like what she saw; none of these traditional antiques made any sense for her cultivation path.Wallace, however, nodded his head with a faint smile. Things of the past that are extremely useful to modern cultivators are right here, he thought. It's impressive how well everything was preserved.Staring at the ancient artifacts and uncut jade stones, he leaned over to Becca. “Once you have those jade stones, you'll see wonders.”Becca blinked. Those old, dull stones? There was absolutely nothing special about them! As a matter of fact, they looked just like the ordinary rocks one could pick up at a beach.“They aren't something you'll find just anywhere; they are incredibly rare,” Wallace murmured, reading her face “Once you open those stones
33. Auction2
Before anyone could dwell too much on the laughing girl's outburst, a masked entrepreneur raised his bidding fan from the back of the hall.“Twenty thousand dollars!”“What?” murmurs erupted across the room. People exchanged shocked glances. Was there something so special about that dull stone that a masked tycoon actually wanted it?Seeing the sudden competition, another wealthy bidder immediately raised his fan. "Fifty thousand dollars!"Becca turned to Wallace, her anxiety spiking, but he merely offered a light smile.“They are doing this to test you," Wallace whispered. "It's your time to raise the stakes, so…”“Wallace, I can't do this anymore,” Becca interrupted, feeling utterly discouraged.“Don't you want energy that will connect you to the heavens and elevate you far above your peers? Shouldn't you fight for it?”“Can't you see those people won't let me take it? Not after they just publicly insulted me!” she whispered furiously.“They are testing your patience because they kn
34. The scam
A calculating thought suddenly crossed Tom’s mind. Even though his high-level cultivator clients had specifically demanded the ancient jug, he was convinced that if he could just secure those shiny golden relics from Becca, it would smooth things over. After all, the clients loved rare treasures. Even though Becca came from a wealthy family, he was sure he could use an insane amount of money to entice her… billionaires loved profit, after all.Immediately after the event concluded, Becca’s hands shook with anxiety. The moment she held the golden relics in her grasp, her spiritual senses confirmed the awful truth: there was no natural energy inside them. They were completely hollow, nothing more than a shiny, expensive trick.Furious, she raised her hands to smash them against the pavement, but Wallace stopped her with a low chuckle.“How about we use those to teach someone a lesson instead? After all, he was the one who drove you to this madness. I can assure you, he is looking for y
35. Swirling balls of Qi
“The D-day has come! Wallace Smith is on the run!”“RIP to Wallace Smith in advance!”“Wallace Smith, where are you? Come out and face your judgment!”“Today, we’ll defeat Wallace Smith!”The students held hastily painted billboards, chanting in unison across the academy courtyard. Today was the day Joe had publicly declared war against Wallace, and no one wanted to miss it. It was on this exact field, not too long ago, that the old Wallace had been forced to stand barefoot on solid ice for hours, freezing and utterly hopeless. Now, history was repeating itself on short notice, and the student body was eager for blood in the afternoon sun.“It really seems he’s the coward they say he is!”“Did Wallace Smith actually flee the city?”They muttered among themselves, filling the spectator stands. However, tucked away in a quiet corner of the field, a small group of students looked on with deep anxiety. They were Master Stephen’s disciples. Joe had sternly warned them that if they didn't
36. QI needles
The moment Joe moved Qi needles towards Wallace, the man still simply didn't move. Instead, he bent over like someone about to take a shot while the needles were moved towards another direction and landed on a student’s eyes. At once, everyone screamed in shock as they rushed towards the female student.“Oh my goodness…”“What the hell just happened?”“Joe! Did you… no! Wallace, how dare you dodge the needles?”“Wallace has killed someone!”“What the hell has Wallace done? He shouldn't have dodged it!”“Since when did he become so defensive to carry out that action? Now, a student is in trouble because of him!”“Wallace has to be punished! He should not go scot-free!”Students began to whisper while Becca stood, rooted in a position infuriated. Of course she heard what the students were saying and it pissed her greatly. Didn't they see what happened? Why were they pushing the narrative towards someone else, making it seem as though the person committed a great crime?Meanwhile, at
37. Authority
“Wallace Smith, whatever your verdict is in this matter, it is final,” Master Silas said, the moment his gaze landed on Wallace. The crowd of students felt their shock spike instantly. How could something like this happen? Did Master Silas not know who Wallace was? Even if the Master was someone who rarely associated with others, shouldn't he know better than to let a useless piece of trash like Wallace handle a matter this important? Didn't he know how important Joe's status was? “I am giving you this authority as my student!” Master Silas added, causing the students' eyes to widen even further. It was notoriously difficult for any student in the Sect to be accepted by Master Silas. The trials alone were brutal enough to discourage the most talented geniuses. So how could a nobody like Wallace be one of his disciples? Every semester, Master Silas chose a strict maximum of thirty students to train. Even if some candidates from elite backgrounds were exceptionally talented, Sila
38. Scammed
“Did you bring what I asked for, Agent Tom?” a familiar, stern voice echoed from behind two thick white curtains, which completely prevented the speaker from view.Tom bowed his head respectfully. “I did. As a matter of fact, I made sure to choose the absolute best for you. I can assure you that you will definitely like what I brought!”In his mind, Tom sneered. Becca Winthrop really didn't know what she lost. Nine hundred thousand dollars is just chump change to a man like this!Laced with excitement, Tom didn't even wait for the hidden man to respond. He eagerly pulled out the wrapped item and placed it forward.“Are you certain this is what I requested?” the voice from behind the curtain asked sternly..“Master, you know that every time I source an item for you, it is top-tier. You don't have to worry about this batch because…”With a sharp snap of fingers from behind the curtain, a disciple stepped forward, silently collected the wrapped item and carried them into the inner room.
39. Fainted ?
A cold sweat broke out on Tom’s forehead the moment those words left the man’s lips.That couldn't be true!Did this mean the absolute trash sitting beside Becca at the auction had actually been right? No! It was way too shiny and perfect to be a fake!But as panic seized his chest, a sickening realization set in. If these people wanted to scam him from the very beginning, they would have designed the trap flawlessly. They would have collected his package without paying him a single cent.Where on earth was he supposed to start now?“Please, you have to help me!” Tom screamed in desperationHe rushed forward, grabbing the disciple's hands so tightly he almost crushed the poor guy's bones.“You're hurting me, agent! Let go!”“Call me Tom!”Tom slammed his free hand onto the table instead. Only then did the disciple’s eyes flare. He knew that if this mortal provoked him again, his suppressed cultivation would violently erupt, consuming them both. He had already broken sect rules by
40. No right
“Let go of me! Now!” Yemeni screamed with his voice trembling with fury. His rage only intensified as he realized just how unyielding Wallace's grip truly was.“Is this how you behave in the sacred grounds of the Masters Sect? Creating a disgraceful scene?” Wallace asked calmly. He glanced toward the nearby door, hoping the commotion hadn’t awakened Becca.In all fairness, Yemeni had no right to be here. First of all, he lacked the status and privilege required to even step foot into the inner sectors of the Masters Sect. Secondly, his undignified behavior lacked the poise of a proper cultivator altogether.Wallace internally scoffed. Then again, what could he expect? Someone like Yemeni wasn’t even a proper cultivator to begin with.“What are you doing here?” Wallace continued, his tone icy. “We both know where you do belong.”“Do you think I care about your rules?!” Yemeni spat, looking at Wallace with pure scorn. “Do you think I don't know my sister helped you steal my dream?
