Seth and Charmaine sat in the back of her car.The compartment was isolated. The driver in front could not hear or see anything happening behind.Moreover, the car featured independent suspension on all four wheels, ensuring the ride was smooth even if the road was not.The interior was filled with the intoxicating scent emanating from Charmaine.Whether intentional or not, Charmaine removed her outer jacket, revealing a white lace dress underneath.The semi-transparent garment perfectly showcased her alluring figure.After hearing Seth’s plans to buy land, she curiously asked, “What kind of business are you planning to do?”“Cosmetics.”“It’s not easy to get into that industry. There are too many competitors,”Charmaine shook her head, skeptical of Seth’s chances. “Just domestically, there are over 50 cosmetic companies. Including international ones, there are hundreds.“You neither have the technology nor the distribution channels. Trying to snatch a piece of pie from the
When Seth raised the question with Charmaine, she said, “It’s rumored that this place is cursed. Several developers who acquired the land experienced accidents before they could even start construction.“Many people died. They tried to cleanse the area with various exorcism and prayers by priests, but it was to no avail.“Eventually, the government repossessed the land. But don’t think you can get it at a discounted price. No matter how unsellable this plot might seem, they won’t drop the price.“The only advantage is that no one will compete with you for it.”Seth nodded. “You should know the relevant personnel, right? Ask them to come over with the contract. I’ll buy this land.”Even though Charmaine had braced herself, she was still shocked by Seth’s audacity.“Are you crazy? You’re willing to spend 36 billion on cursed land after just one look? Do you have any idea how much money that is?”Her voice rose, “If you put that money in the bank and just collected interest, even a
Charmaine had a sworn enemy since childhood.This person had always loved to compete with her.Anything Charmaine liked, she wanted it for herself.If she could not have it, she would simply destroy it.In Imperial City, within a tastefully decorated villa, an eccentric woman was sitting on the sofa. She watched with interest as two of her pets fought.These were not ordinary pets like cats or dogs but two vicious jackals.They were strong as oxen, with claws sharp enough to easily rip through steel.Most women would have been terrified by such a scene, but she seemed completely engrossed, showing no fear at all.In the martial arts world, there was a saying that a jackal could fight a Grandmaster.Despite her youthful appearance, the woman was actually in her 30s.Her skin was as smooth as tofu, and she had a slender waist that could be gripped with one hand. She wore a short skirt, looking alluring.This person was a formidable figure in Imperial City, yet few knew of he
This woman possessed incredible strength!Female Hades entered the bathroom and, after half an hour, emerged to stand in front of her wardrobe.She was dressed in a schoolgirl uniform with white stockings, exuding an overwhelming youthful vibe.With her hair tied in a ponytail, she looked even more youthful.Her long legs were slender, almost like chopsticks.With her current appearance, she was incredibly appealing—especially to men with particular tastes.She giggled at her reflection in the mirror before turning to leave.Who could have imagined that the dreaded Female Hades of the underworld would have such an innocent look?Meanwhile, Seth was on his way to a factory that sold raw gemstones.The factory was located on the outskirts of the city, quite a distance away.As he traveled, Seth contemplated a secret technique.The Eye of Clairvoyance!This technique allowed one to see through walls, clothing, and more, revealing the essence of things.He was well-versed in t
Seth turned around and saw a young lady standing behind him. She was about the height of his shoulders and looked endearingly cute with her ponytail. She boasted a prominent bust and had a slender waist paired with long, elegant legs.The first impression she gave off was captivating, followed by strikingly beautiful.Around them, many men were casting fervent glances at her, as if they wished to devour her right there and then.Seth paused for a moment, then asked, “Miss, what can I help you with?”The woman replied sheepishly, “I forgot to bring money when I went out. Can you lend me 50 bucks? I want to buy that stone.”She pointed to a seemingly ordinary stone on the stall.Seth discreetly used his Eye of Clairvoyance to inspect it.Noticing the stone was not valuable, he advised, “Miss, you should focus on your studies and not indulge in this gambling habit. Nine times out of ten, it's a losing game.”The woman said while pouting, “Mister, I’m 20 years old. Don’t worry, I’l
However, that feeling lasted only a few seconds. She thought it might have been an illusion.“Hmph, I’ve never seen such a stingy man who wouldn’t even lend 50 bucks!”An untimely voice echoed.A man dressed in expensive clothing, accompanied by several bodyguards, approached them. This man appeared to be in his 40s and was quite obese, with beady eyes that emitted a lecherous glint.He came over and looked down on Seth with disdain. “Look at your shabby appearance! Such a beautiful girl asked you for 50 bucks, yet you refused! And you still have the audacity to gamble on stones here!”Then, turning to Female Hades, he chuckled. “Miss, I’ll lend it to you. Pick any stone here and I’ll buy it for you.”Female Hades giggled. “Thank you so much! I want this one and that one…”She pointed out eight or nine stones, all quite valuable.Then, the obese man purchased them all without hesitation.Seth gave Female Hades a deep glance before moving to another stall, unconcerned with th
Intending to show off in front of Female Hades, the obese man sneered in response, “Of course, I keep my word! But if you don’t find anything valuable, you’ll kneel and call me Daddy three times!”Female Hades feigned innocence, making the obese man’s lust flare up. He wished he could claim her right then and there.Their confrontation attracted a growing crowd.Disputes over women always garnered extra attention.It was especially the case when they saw Seth, an apparent novice, buying three worthless-looking stones. Most mocked him behind his back, speculating he had more money than sense.There were professionals around to cut the stones.Then, the crowd grew, surrounding the stall.Ten middle-aged men, equipped with stone-cutting tools, began cutting with the smallest of the three stones under Seth’s direction.Once cut, it proved to be worthless, prompting immediate jeers.The obese man laughed heartily, his face full of mockery. “I told you, such rubbish stones can't pos
In the past, there were instances where the first cut revealed beautiful amethyst, but the subsequent cuts revealed worthless stone.“In this case, let’s divide this Amethyst into nine equal parts,” Seth suggested.Nine pieces of the Purple Marrow Amethyst would suffice to transform the ominous area.The stone cutters nodded gravely.After working there for so many years, this was the first time they had ever cut Purple Marrow Amethyst!As they carefully proceeded, the crowd held their breath, with only the sound of the cutting machine echoing.When the first piece was fully cut, the exquisite purple shade set the scene abuzz.Even if the rest turned out to be worthless, this single piece alone was worth tens of millions!The obese man’s eyes widened, and his face turned pale.Female Hades, on the other hand, looked at Seth with sparkling eyes. There was an unexplainable glint in them.Feeling her gaze, Seth turned and gave her a playful smile.Female Hades blushed, looking
