The closer Shen Tao’s steps were to Darrin, the greater the excitement that grew in his heart.Imagining that he would gain immense inner power made him eager to immediately drain Darrin’s energy.Shen Tao pulled Darrin up until the young man’s body, which was lying on the floor, was lifted into the air. “Hehehe! You’re someone who’s skilled at playing magic tricks, aren’t you? How about now I play a real trick on you?”Shen Tao placed one of his hands on Darrin’s head.A second later, he saw the young man’s body tremble violently, just like what happened to William and Max earlier, and then white smoke rose from his hair.Soon after, he saw the young man’s body dry up and turn black before collapsing to the floor.“Hahaha! I have become very strong, the strongest in Starlight! Who dares to stop me now? Even that beautiful girl will kneel before me!”Shen Tao felt immense joy filling every cavity of his chest.However, there was something he found a little strange.“But, why don’t I f

Not far from there, just after Darrin had left Robert's presence, someone suddenly appeared out of the void.He pulled out his phone and typed a brief message.“The Bennett family and the lecherous old man have been defeated!”Immediately after sending the text, the man hurried towards the civilians who were about to be evacuated and mingled with them.After a long and exhausting day, everyone had finally returned to their homes. They hoped this was the end of their nightmare, the end of the chaos that had plagued Starlight in the past few weeks. Of course, this was because they now had someone they could rely on, and that was Darrin, their new mayor.That night, wearing only a thin shirt and shorts, Darrin leaned back in a chair on the third-floor balcony of the Lunaria Palace, his new favorite spot.After spending almost the entire day taking care of people, especially the senators who were shocked by Shen Tao and his men’s arrival, Darrin could finally relax for a moment.“I don’t

Moonhaven. A city neighboring Starlight, located directly to the north. Although not as expansive as Starlight, it had a comparable standard of living: easy jobs and safe residential areas. However, the accidents of the past month had made Thomas Caldwell, the mayor, very uneasy. "This is the thirtieth victim since the first one was found!" A police officer zipped up the body bag containing two men who had died with their bodies dry and charred. "Chief, what do you think the motive and method of the perpetrator are?" The short, stout man, no more than 160 cm tall, displayed a tense expression. As the highest authority in Moonhaven, this case was nearly driving him mad. The Moonhaven police chief took a deep breath. "My team and I are still investigating, Mr. Caldwell." Thomas was dissatisfied with this answer. He wanted to pressure the chief to find evidence quickly, even apprehend the culprit. However, before he could open his mouth, his phone rang. "Hello, Mr. Caldwell." A voi

"What?"Thomas could hardly breathe due to the shock."He is Lord Carson?"When he remembered what he had just done to the young man, his face turned very red with embarrassment and regret."Lord Carson…" Thomas immediately dropped to the floor, kneeling towards Darrin. "I have been truly foolish! Forgive my rudeness and impudence! I should have recognized it was you!"Thomas kept his head bowed, deeply regretting his foolishness. Not only had he failed to appreciate Darrin's kindness, but he had also been rude and yelled at the lord, even though he was the one in need of help."I will not make any excuses," Thomas continued. "I am willing to accept any punishment you deem fit!"Thomas had come here to seek Darrin's help. Instead of acting and speaking kindly, he had belittled the young lord. If Darrin refused to forgive him, Thomas would never forgive himself.On the other hand, Darrin just smiled. He understood Thomas' anxiety, causing the mayor of Moonhaven to be a bit impatient."

Speaking of Alexander Hayes, there was a time when he was seen with a big smile on his face as he had just woken up in the morning.“Dad, did the company make such a huge profit that you’re this happy even before having breakfast?” Elara, who adored her father, asked while taking a bite of her bread.“Actually, it’s more than that! It’s about a dream I had last night!”Elara, who was chewing her bread, almost choked upon hearing her father’s confession.“I thought you were happy because of business matters, but it turns out...” The girl shook her head, as if mocking her father. Since childhood, Elara was raised in a modern, highly scientific culture, so she didn’t believe in things that couldn’t be explained, including star prophecies.“Try to understand your father, dear, sometimes his dreams do come true.” Catherine Hayes, who had been waiting for Alexander at the dining table, looked at her husband and winked.“Your mother is right! I’m very happy because I had a dream about you.”
