Charlotte was a knockout today.She rocked a shimmering gold evening gown that hugged her curves in all the right places.The gown clung to her, showing off her flat tummy with not an ounce of extra.Her makeup was on point, and the million-dollar blue gem around her neck screamed class.People could not help but do a double-take. First at her stunning face and then, well, at the rest of her.Her backside had that perfect pear shape, curvy but not too much. It was just right.A few nights ago, Charlotte had this wild transformation in her sleep. It was like she had leveled up in life.She went from being a pretty crystal ball to a star that lit up the night sky, dazzling everyone in sight.Every guy in the room did a double-take when they saw her, their minds racing with the usual first thought guys would get when a woman like Charlotte walked by.Even Douglas had this look in his eyes that was hard to pin down.One of the big shots from Armoria could not help but gush, "Oh m

By eight o'clock, Seth and his crew were three kilometers out from their target.Wendy and her squad had beaten them there.All in all, 25 fighters had shown up.They were not there to throw down. Their job was to lock down the area, making sure no one slipped out.Seth laid down the plan, telling them, along with Rhona and Landy, to fan out and form a ring of steel.Then, he strode off toward the main gate.Tonight, the top six families were going to vanish off the face of the earth.…Charlotte's lips, as tempting as ripe cherries, quirked up in a smirk as she declared something that sent shockwaves through the crowd, "No need to blow all that cash on them. I'll handle Seth myself. You two, cough up that six billion deposit!"It was like thunder had struck right there, leaving everyone shell-shocked by Charlotte's audacity.The chiefs of the top six families went pale, and they lashed out in unison."Are you out of your mind? How could you say something like that?!""Did y

In the control room, a group of staff leaped to their feet in alarm. "What's going on? Why did everyone just drop?" one shouted. "Hit the alarm—ugh..." His command was cut short as a sword, unbound by gravity, burst through the wall. It whirled through the room before zipping back out. The staff collapsed, one by one, like puppets with cut strings.After clearing out the security on both the outer and second layers, Seth sheathed the Phoenix Sword. He kicked the front door open and strode inside.Charlotte, now the center of attention, boldly proclaimed her intent without a hint of subtlety. "Grandpa, you've had your time. Let me take over the family business!" Douglas felt a pang of alarm. The words 'power grab' flashed through his mind. He was a seasoned player in this game, so his face was a mask of calm as he replied with a smile, "My dear, with your talent, you're sure to run the family someday, but..." "No buts!" Charlotte snapped, cutting him off. "I'm taking over as the

Decades of dedicated training had sculpted the twins' bodies into the epitome of perfection.Every inch of them was flawless, the very definition of a masterpiece.If the wealthy elite caught a glimpse, they would likely fork over hundreds of millions for just one night of bliss with either sister without a second thought.Who would guess these were women past 50? They radiated more life and energy than girls in their late teens.Seth could see the inner workings of their bodies.The sisters had reached the pinnacle of their physical and combat prowess.With Seth's assistance or a single spiritual stone, they could ascend to even greater heights within a couple of years.Seth was not one to hand out favors for free, though.Under his intense scrutiny, the twins felt a chill run down their spines. Their discomfort was palpable.His piercing gaze seemed to strip away more than just their clothes, laying bare all their secrets.The ground barely shook, but it was enough to send

Seth checked out the clock on the wall. It was 8:15 pm. "I think it's about time we wrapped up this little feud of ours," he said, cool as a cucumber.Charlotte's face twisted with rage. "You're gonna regret this," she hissed. Then, she was a blur, like a freight train barreling down the tracks. She was ready to mow down anything in her way.Seth just shook his head and stood his ground. When Charlotte charged, he simply lifted his hand and pressed down, like he was squashing a bug.The floor crumbled, and Charlotte was down, leaving the crowd in utter shock."No way, this can't be happening!" she screamed as she clawed at the ground, desperate to stand.Seth's boot was planted firmly on Charlotte's back. It was an unmovable weight, and it was like a mountain had pinned her down. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not get up.Panic swept through the venue as the smarter ones did not waste a second. They bolted for the exits.With a mystical gesture, Seth summoned the Ph
