What?Is it true?Lucas' laughter stopped abruptly when he heard the news."Forgive me, Your Excellency! But are you sure?"Lucas still couldn't accept the fact that Daniel had sent so much money."Are you saying that we are lying or that we made a mistake in identifying the sender?"The leader asked back, staring sharply at Lucas.In reality, according to the secret archives of the city of Tectona, the city's public account could also be accessed by any core member of the city council. Since this information was available in real time, they could see who had made the transactions and the amount of money involved."Forgive me, Your Excellency!"Lucas turned to Daniel with a mocking look.'Did this idiot get the money from selling his company? Did he think I couldn't donate more? I'm going to put an end to his story right now!He said while maintaining his demeaning look,"Are you happy? Don't be too satisfied! It's just a small amount! You'll see how much I can donate to the city!"'W

The joy and pride Daniel had felt yesterday vanished completely when his name was not on the list.His frustration grew even more when he heard that his friend, who had supported him from the beginning, had submitted his own name to participate in the competition."Daniel, in one week there will be an open competition to select new members of the Security Division! I'm not interested in participating in such an event, but don't worry! I will try to make sure that you can participate!"Those were Jeffrey's last words before Daniel left his palace a week ago."What did Jeffrey mean by that? Does he want the title for himself as well? He shouldn't have pretended to support me," Daniel thought, trying to control his emotions.That's when young Drummond suddenly appeared in front of him. "Daniel, where have you been? I've been looking for you!"Jeffrey's face lit up as he said this. He tried to put his arm around Daniel's shoulder, but the Tec-Auto boss recklessly pushed his hand away."He

Daniel and Luca faced each other at a distance of ten meters. According to the rules, Luca had the opportunity to attack Daniel three times first. If he failed in these three attacks, then Daniel would attack back.The referee then released the chain that surrounded the arena, leaving only a circular mark on the ground no less than twenty meters in diameter."You must watch your feet and not cross the line. If both of your feet cross the line completely, you will be declared the loser, even if your opponent fails to hit you!" the referee explained the rule before giving the signal."Get ready! Fight!" he shouted, then stepped aside. His attention was focused on the two contestants in front of him."Accept my punch, you descendant of traitors," Luca said, then disappeared.Luca called Daniel that because he believed that Daniel was the last descendant of the Drummond family, who were considered traitors for supporting the Baldini family.In an instant, he was three meters off the groun

On the other hand, seeing his opponent use the same technique again, Daniel remembered what Jeffrey had said earlier."Don't let those shadows fool you! You need to focus on finding his real body and direct your attack towards it!"All he had to do was to find Luca's real body. However, there was still one big problem."But how can I find it?"Daniel had tried to use his heightened senses, which were more sensitive than the warrior on his level, to find it. But he couldn't find anything.All these figures had the same appearance, the same smell and the same voice, as if they were all Luca's real body."Hey, are you just going to stand there? Come on, don't waste my time! If you can't do it, you might as well give up!" Luca shouted.His lips curled wickedly as he said this. Besides, he did it on purpose to distract Daniel's concentration."You talk too much! Just watch! I'll do it!"At that moment, when Daniel thought it was almost impossible to know which one was Luca's real one, an i

Nighttime.Daniel was sitting on a chair on the second floor balcony of the Drummond Mansion.After finishing the first round of the duel, instead of going back to the campus dormitory, he followed Jeffrey's advice to temporarily stay at his house."Daniel, if someone wants to harm you, you can easily face them. But what about the students around you? I'm sure none of them are cultivators. If something happens to them, they won't be able to protect themselves!"His friend's opinion made sense to him. After thinking about it, Daniel couldn't help but agree.Currently, many people are starting to pay attention to Daniel's abilities, especially since most of them consider him a part of the Drummond family."If a group of masked fighters comes here, at least I can still rely on Jasper and some other cultivators to face them!" he thought.But Daniel's heart remained restless. After all, he was not used to being taken care of, let alone protected by others."I am an Esquire candidate," he s
