2024-10-25 16:06:12Louis stood still, shocked.
He just realized something big.
The small doll he thought was Vivian's wasn't hers at all.
This meant the kind girl who helped him years ago wasn't Vivian!
All this time, he had been wrong!
Louis felt many things at once - surprise, sadness, but also a bit relieved.
He had spent years helping Vivian, thinking he was paying back her kindness.
Now he knew it was all a mistake.
"What's wrong, Louis? Finally seeing how pathetic you are?"
Seeing how quiet Louis was, Vivian said meanly.
She thought he was finally embarrassed because she had caught him lying.
This made her even angrier and more disgusted.
Louis barely heard her.
He was too busy thinking about what this all meant for his life.
However, Vivian kept talking, and getting louder.
"Why are you silent now? Weren’t you good at making up stories about knowing important people? Why not continue the play and give us a good show?"
Vivian said more aggressively, her eyes filled with increased disdain.
“I now see who you truly are! You’re merely a pathetic tragedy! The most incompetent liar, coward, and braggart of the 21st century!”
Louis finally snapped out of his thoughts.
He felt tired of Vivian's words.
"Be quiet, will you?" he said in a cold voice, his eyes as freezing as ice.
"I didn't lie about anything or steal any toy."
Having just realized the truth, he really had no mood to deal with a noisy talkative right now.
Meanwhile, Vivian was completely stunned.
Louis had never talked to her like this before.
How dared he?!
He used to be so easy to push around in the past few years of their marriage.
Now he seemed so indifferent, so much stronger.
This made Vivian even angrier.
"How dare you talk to me like that?!"
Vivian yelled furiously, her face turning red rapidly.
"If you didn’t fake the things, where did get the cards? If you didn’t steal, how did you get the doll? Just admit it, you pathetic loser!"
Louis was getting impatient.
"They are none of your business, Vivian, we’ve divorced." he said coldly.
However, upon hearing this, Vivian got even madder.
“Fuck you, Louis!”
“I shouldn’t have married you in the first place. I must have been blind back then.”
“It turns out you are not only a penniless loser who has shamelessly lived off me for years, but also an insane and disgusting liar plus braggart who lives in his tragic imagined world!”
“Louis, I demand compensation, or I swear you won’t ...”
Louis’s patience had finally decreased to zero.
“Fine, how much do you want?”
He interrupted, stopping her yelling.
If money could make Vivian shut up her noisy mouth and make her go away, he didn’t mind giving her what she wanted.
He just wanted to end this fight quickly.
And start looking for his real saviour right away.
Vivian was stunned again.
She hadn’t expected her poor ex-husband would agree so fast and easily.
Did he even have the amount of money to compensate for her loss?
A mocking look formed on Vivian’s face.
She had a good idea—one that could make Louis look extra stupid.
"One million," she said with a mean smile.
She was sure Louis couldn't get that much money.
He probably didn’t have even a dollar on him.
Vivian stared at Louis, not wanting to miss the embarrassment and awkwardness on his face.
But to her surprise ...
"Okay, deal."
Louis agreed right away, like it was no big deal at all.
“It’s one million dollars, not one hundred! You hear me, Louis?”
Vivian sneered, her voice dripping with disdain.
"Don’t tell me you can’t tell the difference between one million and one hundred, you overgrown amoeba!"
She laughed cruelly.
“I heard you. You don’t need to be so talkative.”
Louis replied coldly.
He knew very well Vivian’s intention of making him look stupid, but he didn’t plan to satisfy her.
He wasn’t the Louis she knew from the past.
“Alright then, show me the money RIGHT NOW!"

The dome was gone.The trial finished.But Mark Jennings hadn’t moved.He knelt in silence, face blank, eyes eerily calm. It was the stillness that unnerved even the bravest cultivators watching.Louis didn’t buy it.“Something’s wrong,” Mira murmured.Louis nodded, gaze sharpening. “He’s not done.”Mark lifted his head—too smoothly, too... robotic.Then he smiled. Not the smug kind.The sinister kind.“Do you really think you’ve won?” Mark whispered, voice laced with something inhuman. “That this… trial… means anything?”The world watched as his skin flickered, his aura pulsed unnaturally.Louis’s eyes narrowed.“Move back,” he ordered.Too late.Mark’s spirit split, a blinding pulse shooting toward Louis like a spear of corruption.Soul-Swap Technique.A forbidden art.

The vote was unanimous.Seventy-seven nations. Fourteen sect unions. Three independent AI councils.Mark Jennings would stand trial.The accusations were endless—soul harvesting, illegal enhancer distribution, war crimes, ritual sacrifice.But Mark?He stood in the Jennings Tower throne room, arms spread like a god blessing fools.“I do not answer to tribunals,” he declared, voice echoing across the broadcast system he’d hijacked. “I have evolved beyond humanity’s petty need for judgment. I am the next phase.”Kael stood nearby, exhausted. “Sir, the world’s demanding transparency. They want to see justice.”Mark sneered. “Justice? That’s a coin toss. I don’t need justice—I need control.”He flicked his hand.Behind the scenes, digital threads slithered through the global tribunal system—hacking verdicts, rewording charges, replacing truth with confusion. Screens glitched, documents shifted. Every guilty verdict now showed: “INCONCLUSIVE – INTERFERENCE SUSPECTED.”Mark smirked. “Blame
CHAPTER 387
Mark Jennings sat in the war chamber, eyes bloodshot, voice low and venomous.“Put a billion on him.”Kael froze. “A billion? That’ll trigger half the rogue world—mercs, bounty sects, soul pirates—”“Exactly,” Mark snapped. “Let them swarm him. Day and night. Sleep will be a myth. Peace a memory.”He grinned, the kind of grin that belonged more in padded rooms than palaces.“If I can’t kill Louis with power… I’ll drown him in desperation.”Day 1A fire arrow nearly pierced Louis’s shoulder during a peaceful harvest prayer.He caught it mid-air, raised a brow, and sighed. “First one? A little early, don’t you think?”The archer got buried head-first in a compost pile. Alive. Slightly traumatized.Day 3A pack of night assassins launched a synchronized strike.One ended up folded into a lotus pose—while unconscious. Another was used to hammer the third into a wall.Day 7“Eighty-four,” Mira counted, dragging another limp mercenary across the courtyard. “You’d think they’d give up.”Loui
CHAPTER 386
The cracks in Mark Jennings' empire weren’t subtle anymore.They were earthquakes.One by one, governments that once propped him up with backdoor deals and glowing endorsements began quietly pulling out.The Empire of Vaundra? Silent.The Eastern United Council? Declared neutrality.Even the Trade Republic of Silas—Mark’s loudest cheerleaders—froze all funding.In the space of 72 hours, his global powerbase went from iron grip to butter melting in a sunstorm.Inside Jennings Tower, the war room was chaos. Phones rang. Alerts screamed. No one had answers—just excuses and sweat.“Sir,” Kael muttered, his voice hollow, “The Republic just blocked access to your border labs. They’re calling it... 'preventive quarantine.'”Mark slammed his fist on the table. “They can’t abandon me. I built this world!”Kael swallowed. “They’re not calling it your world anymore.”But that wasn’t the worst of it.The worst came that night—leaked footage.Posted by a shadow account and verified by five interna
CHAPTER 385
The night sky glowed red across three continents—and not from the setting sun.Mark Jennings watched, jaw tight, as live satellite feeds showed flames devouring his secret research compounds. Genetic chambers, soul-seal factories, forbidden tech labs—all gone in hours.Security footage was a blur of fire and screaming.One guard managed to shout, “There was no warning—just wings and fire!”Eleanor.Mark crushed his glass in one hand.“She’s insane,” he hissed. “A damn phoenix with a vendetta.”He stormed into his emergency broadcast chamber, cameras flickering on as he barked orders.“Spin this. I don’t care how. Make her the villain. Make her look like a terrorist.”Technicians scrambled. Within minutes, a global emergency broadcast beamed across every major city:Mark stood tall in a charcoal suit, forced grief pasted over his face like a bad mask.“This is not justice. This is terrorism,” he began solemnly, fake sincerity dripping off each word. “Eleanor, once a respected cultivato
CHAPTER 384
Mark Jennings stood before a black, soundproofed war room, surrounded by shadowed figures.“These aren’t your average bounty hunters,” he said, teeth flashing. “I’ve hired phantoms. Spiritual hitmen. Soul-slicers. Even a void-binder from the Unseen Clan.”The room felt colder just hearing those names.Kael leaned in nervously. “You’re sure this won’t backfire like… everything else?”Mark’s eyes gleamed. “This time, there’s no grand entrance. No speeches. No dragon pulses or temple shields. This time, Louis disappears. Quietly.”Two nights later — Location classifiedIn a forest drenched in fog and soaked with tension, Louis moved silently beneath the moonlight. He sensed it before it happened—the faint ripple in spiritual space. Something not of this world was hunting him.Ten elite assassins encircled him: mortals with enchanted weapons, spirits who fed on intent, shapeshifters disguised as falling leaves.“This is it,” whispered one, drawing a blade humming with soul poison.The net
