Under the dim, illuminating streetlights, a man dressed in a luxurious suit stepped out of his sleek car. His blonde hair glimmered in the faint light, and he leaned against the side of his car with a relaxed yet authoritative air. His eyes, sharp and discerning, were fixed on Zane, and a sly smile tugged at the corners of his lips. The sound of slow, mocking applause reverberated through the quiet street. Zane Gardner stood his ground, his wary gaze fixed on the uninvited stranger. A rich voice, full of sarcasm, spoke up. "Hahaha, what an incredible display of combat, Mr. Gardner." Zane's suspicions were correct - this man had to be behind the attack. His voice remained composed as he asked, "So, you were the one who sent them? And who might you be?" The stranger's grin grew wider and he nonchalantly leaned against a nearby car, crossing his legs. "Ah, it seems my initial assessment of you was spot on. I am a well-known figure among the wealthy elite of this city, yet somehow you

The gentle rays of the morning sun shone through the curtains of Zane's bedroom, illuminating the room with its warm light and gently stirring him from his slumber.He stretched his arms wide, feeling a deep satisfaction course through him. The demanding and strenuous training he had done throughout the past week had left him feeling fulfilled and content.Zane made his way to the bathroom, shedding his clothes and easing himself into a bathtub filled with warm water.The heat embraced him in a comforting cocoon and he murmured in delight, "Ah...so comforting!" A contented sigh escaped his lips as he luxuriated in the soothing warmth.He allowed himself to sink deeper into the water, feeling the tension in his muscles slowly melt away and his blood circulation improve with the comforting heat.After some time, he emerged from the bath, ready for the day ahead. As he stepped outside, he found Cedric waiting for him by the car."Hello, Master," Cedric greeted him warmly with his usual r

As Zane entered the luxurious dining room, his gaze was immediately drawn to Charles, who was seated at the head of the table.Charles gave him a warm, welcoming gesture and said, "Welcome, Mr. Zane. Come join us." His hands spread out in an inviting manner.With a nod and a smile, Zane confidently walked to the table. His presence radiated a sense of composure. He took his seat to the right of Charles.Claire was seated directly across from Zane, her appearance elegant and striking.Claire was breathtaking in the sleeveless yellow brocade dress that hugged her curves and complemented her graceful figure.The fabric shimmered subtly under the warm lights of the room, creating an aura of sophistication and allure. Her blonde hair, styled to flow naturally, draped over her left shoulder, partly veiling it and adding a touch of elegance.On the other side, her sparkling earrings caught the light, drawing attention to her delicate features, and creating a picture of ethereal beauty.Zane

After Zane and Marcus had agreed to the deal, they gathered in the grand and spacious central room. The elegantly adorned room reflected the gravity of the moment as they were about to witness a life-changing event.Marcus, with the assistance of his aide, straightened up in a wooden chair, his posture displaying a combination of readiness and apprehension.Zane took his place to Marcus' left, facing him directly, his demeanor composed and determined."Mr. Marcus," Zane said in a kind yet firm voice. "Prepare yourself. This could cause an uncomfortable sensation."His warning conveyed the earnestness with which he was approaching the treatment.Despite being silent, Marcus was unable to entirely conceal the anxiousness that was growing within him. The possibility of a permanent remedy to his long-term illness was a glimmer of hope, but the unknown of the outcome brought a considerable amount of unease.Charles and Claire, seated on a comfortable sofa, closely watched the exchange betw

As the first rays of sunlight began to shine through the morning fog, Zane was in a tranquil meditative state, perched on the edge of a peak.His home, tucked away on the side of the mountain, was his refuge, providing him with the perfect opportunity to practice his cultivation techniques. The golden light encircled him, surrounding him in a comforting embrace.The energy of the new day swirled around Zane, invigorating his spirit and deepening his connection to the world around him. As the sun rose higher, its rays spreading across the landscape, Zane's meditation drew to a close and his awareness returned to his surroundings.Not far away, Cecilia waited patiently.“Cecilia, have you been here for a while?” Zane asked, his voice steady and serene, breaking the morning's peacefulness.“No, Master,” Cecilia replied, her tone respectful. She paused for a moment before speaking again. “Master, the Marcus Scott Company has a shareholders’ meeting this afternoon. Will you be attending?”
