****Although the expression on the five figures' countenances couldn't be perceived right now due to the clocks; the veils of darkness they bore that enveloped their entire beings. It's evident to any observer that they are deeply disquieted at present.With their respiration markedly restrained and their hearts pulsating frenetically within their chests, they anticipated the grand elder's rejoinder.At present, none of them directed their gaze at the grand elder whose image was projected on the artifact, for they were all too apprehensive of the visage they might encounter.The group leader had already recounted their discoveries to the grand elder more than thirty minutes ago, a duration that felt unending to them. Yet, despite their prolonged wait, they discerned no forthcoming response from him, which only exacerbated their anxiety.Just when they believed that no response would be forthcoming, and they began to commiserate with the hapless people who would incur the grand elder'

Having no idea that he has now become the reason for a great scheme, and because he killed a person who deserved it, he made the grand elder return to his past job, the human world betrayal, Alex woke up the next day, feeling greatly refreshed.With a radiant grin on his face, he rose from the bed and stretched, his body emitting enthusiastic cracking sounds. "Another breakthrough," he murmured to himself and suddenly immersed himself in deep contemplation. After a while, he shook his head in frustration before heading towards the bathroom."I can't fathom why everything in my master's memory insists that cultivation is arduous when it is, in reality, as effortless as breathing."As soon as he mumbled this to himself, Williams’s eyes flashed with excitement. "I knew it! It simply implies that even my master’s innate talent which was several times better than those in the immortal world is several times below average compared to mine.“Shaking his head once more with certainty, Alex e

*****"Not caring more about the gangsters whom he just taught lessons and to whom he had relieved his jumbled together mind, Alex continued walking toward his classroom, and unknowingly, the thoughts he tried to hide away gradually returned.“What are those two plotting exactly?”He mumbled to himself for the umpteenth time since entering the school premises, feeling utterly frustrated for being in the dark and confused as to what was happening.This was the thought Alex was filled with when he finally got to his classroom.Forgot to mention.Along the way, although Alex acted as though he didn’t hear nor see them, treating everybody as air, he knew that everybody was pointing at him furiously, especially the boys who were brimming with animosity toward him.Had Alex been in his right mind then, he would have felt absolutely proud of himself as he knew the cause behind their anger.Well… as he wasn’t in his right mind, Alex couldn’t help but heave a deep sigh before he finally entere

*****Meanwhile, without knowing that his future father-in-law, or rather, one of his two future fathers-in-law had already seen him, Alex and Dami could be seen waiting for the door of the elevator that had just arrived at their destination to open.“Welcome, Sir President.”It was a beautiful, elegant, and youthful voice that welcomed them, or rather, Alex alone just as the door opened.Already knowing to whom the voice belonged, Alex flashed Rebecca a graceful smile and returned her greeting.Just at that moment, Rebecca who had no idea that Alex had someone with him hurriedly greeted the still-thunderstruck Dami who instantly became embarrassed.‘Holy Goodness! This is an extraordinarily influential figure in the society whose fame and power alone surpasses those of everybody in this city!’Dami, whose heart had begun to flutter, thought subconsciously as she hurriedly returned Rebecca’s greeting.Although Dami shouldn’t have been surprised at all, having already met some people o

*****To most of the Marshman family, that day was a day of joy and celebration, making them all forget all the plots they had devised for Jewel and her parents. Although the allure of Jewel's multibillion-dollar accessories remained much more compelling to them, the fact that they could now flaunt their cooperation with the colossal Crest Conglomerate openly was still much more significant.As for the rest of the people, they were initially filled to the brim with astonishment, like the others, and then an immense anger that could devastate the nation overwhelmed them. However, what could they do? Nothing but sulking silently in their misery.……Back to Alex and Dami. Upon leaving the company that day, Dami directly drove them home. However, before they arrived, Dami received an exhilarating call from Jewel, who shared the terrific news with her. With that, Alex finally felt utterly relieved, and like so, the duo returned home.As usual, Dami prepared the dinner while Alex went t
