“You'll pay for treating me like a dog,” Ava cursed out repeatedly as she staggered out of the Red Vile Auction house in a sorry and wretched state. It was only a matter of time before what she'd done spread across the state till it got to the whole country. Almost everyone was aware of the bad deed of the member of the Rodriquez family. Everyone kept condemning the Rodriquez family. “So what if they're in the top 20 families of Phoenix City?”“You're despicable. How could a member of their family choose to stoop so low to steal despite how rich they are?”“Moreover, she's a popular figure that I used to look up to.”“It seems that wasn't necessary anymore. It was indeed foolish for me to make her my idol.”“I can't have such a person as my idol.”Different people who had always loved and supported her changed their behavior toward her when they heard what she'd done. They began to condemn her. It was easy to say that the reputation that she'd built for more than five years had cr

Her grandma, Madam Kate, was rendered speechless for a while by her granddaughter's statement. She cleared her throat and spoke up. “So what? Even if I asked you to antagonize him, I didn't ask you to steal his properties, right?”“Like that wasn't enough, you auctioned it off in one of the best auction houses without the intention of bringing those properties home. How dare you place all the blame on me?” Her grandma's voice sounded cold and fierce so she kept quiet. She couldn't refute her grandma because she was right about that. She kept those ancient items that she stole to herself because she knew that her grandma, Madam Kate, wasn't going to reward her well. She might even give those ancient items to her favorite grandson, Micheal, to sell it off in one of the biggest auction houses in Phoenix City. “That's fine. But are you really sure that he's just an underling of the Edward family?” She asked and Madam Kate got angry. “Don't ask me that question again if you have nothi

His heart shook his face as he stared at the burly man, who stared at him with a long gaze. It seemed as though he was in a deep thought or something was bothering him. What could it be? Could it be that Smith is the new young master of the Edward family? His heart pounded heavily against its ribcage as the thought crossed his mind. He couldn't help but feel worried because he felt there was nothing he could do if Smith was to be the young Master of the Edward family. He would eventually bring down his family, the Rodriguez family, if he found out that his Grandma, Madam Kate, was plotting against him. He comforted himself because he didn't know what else he could think at that moment. He stared at the burly man who seemed to be in a trance curiously. The burly man looked up and cleared his throat after being in a trance for more than two minutes. “Is there anything wrong? Does the emperor have another young master?” He asked curiously as the thought crossed his mind. He swallow

Smith, on the other hand, was facing different issues. He was having a hard time understanding the depth and concept of the Heavenly Horned Dragon book that was before him. Each time that he tried to comprehend the techniques in the cultivation book, it seemed as though a barrier was preventing him. He began to feel doubtful about the existence of cultivators. What he'd experienced in the Red Vile Auction still left a great impression in his heart. The Hall Master of the Red Vile Auction house made a thunder strike after dark clouds gathered over the roof of the Red Vile Auction house. The Mystical Green Orb was glowing dimly in Smith's hand. He has been staring at the green bead for the past few hours without taking his gaze away from him. It wasn't intentional that he couldn't take his gaze from the big green bead-like orb that was glowing dimly but it was because of how enticing the green bead was. It seemed as though a spiritual force was entering his soul. It wasn't a harmful

Smith frowned slightly as soon as Mr. Frank finished his statement. He spoke up without any sign of nervousness. “Didn't the chancellor tell you that I'm not interested in the upcoming international quiz?” Mr. Frank wasn't offended by Smith's statement. He merely shook his head and spoke up with a calm tone. “No, he did but I can't just give up on you like that,” the man said resolutely. “It doesn't matter whether you want to give up or not. It's only up to me to decide,” Smith said in a calm tone and the middle-aged man smiled. “That's right. Why aren't you interested in the upcoming international quiz? Is it because Mr. Han has offended you?” Mr. Frank asked in a cold tone and he shook his head vehemently. “He can't be the reason. I'm not interested because it's not beneficial to me,” Mr. Frank looked up instantly and stared at him with a shocked expression on his face when he heard Smith's statement. He wasn't expecting it. How could an ordinary student say that a competition
