***** By the time Alex was finished there, even the manager of the boutique had already come to see him, as that was the first time a rare item was sold since the branch was opened. He even wished to present Alex with a VVIP card in case there was a next time he desired to purchase something, which was when they discovered that Alex was, in fact, their boss. After a considerable amount of flattery and sycophantic words, Alex finally departed from the boutique with his purchased item and went home. Upon returning home, he indulged in his sumptuous meal, which had already been prepared by Dami before he arrived, and packed into a warmer by her. Then the two engaged in a lengthy discussion, with Dami doing most of the talking before she eventually departed for her residence, and Alex retired to his room. As usual, immediately after Alex cleansed himself and changed into his pajamas, he assumed a meditative position. However, tonight, he refrained from cultivating anything;
***** The following day, Alex was awakened by a call from an unidentified number, which he promptly answered in a drowsy and semi-conscious state.Although Alex was now a powerful and overpowered cultivator who could go for several days without any sleep, he didn't want to deprive himself of one of the things he had lacked most in the past. Therefore, he always made an effort to get as much sleep as he could each night.Stretching his arms lazily, Alex connected the call. But as soon as he heard the words uttered by the caller's urgent voice, his eyes snapped open, and all the traces of drowsiness in them and his body vanished into the thin air. After a brief pause, he furrowed his brow and inquired, "Are you certain about this?"With only Alex hearing what the caller was saying as the call wasn't on a loudspeaker, he instinctively nodded his head, momentarily forgetting that he was on the phone. But fortunately, he didn't forget to voice his response, or else, the caller wouldn't
***** At first, Alex was shocked and confused by what the lady resembling Succumbs had just stated, but after a few moments, he understood everything, especially the second part of her words, which instantly made him feel somewhat sentimental. According to what he understood from her sentence, the guy he had caught the day before, whom he had tasked to find the people after himself, the one who had called him that morning to inform him of all his findings, was already discovered and killed, which was why the four of them whose power was... something that made Alex frown upon came to him. ……. Presently, as if Alex was just a mere ant to them, the three men encircling him ignored him disdainfully while the lady only flashed him a somewhat mischievous and flirtatious smile as if she found him extremely intriguing, to which Alex didn’t even know whether to laugh or cry about. Before he met them face-to-face, Alex had been excited that he would be facing off against his first cultivat
***** There was a particularly highly favored four-star restaurant to the middle-class patrons, situated in a quieter area within Potters City. Normally, the most expensive cars owned by the customers that visit this restaurant are between 2 to 3 million dollars BMWs and they are usually owned by civil servants & salary earners. Because of this level of wealth, the owners of these cars mostly receive envious gazes from the other customers and the besttreatment from the restaurant's workers. To comprehend how this restaurant catered exclusively to the middle class and was a luxury for lower-income individuals, there were many days when, even though the entire restaurant was packed with diners, there would be no luxurious cars in the parking lot. However, tonight was an exception, causing a profound astonishment amongst all the employees. With their hearts unable to settle, they observed as one luxury vehicle after another, which they could only dream of seeing in their entire lifet
***** Right now, Alex's gaze has once again returned to the lion that was still eagerly enjoying its 'feast,' but he doesn't even know whether to be angry with it or not.Although his emotions were definitely anything but calm at the moment, Alex understood perfectly well that the Lion had done no wrong since it was clearly in its nature to consume and only feast on things with flesh and blood.In fact, who would even blame it if it was in its territory and preyed on anything it wanted? Nobody.To this, again, Alex's murderous intent suddenly rises, and immediately, he glared fiercely at the body, which was already lying dead on the floor before him, and then he abruptly regretted it greatly.'I should have given him a dose of his own medicine so that he would have also felt the great agony and torture the people he had fed to the famished lion had gone through before they lost their lives.Knowing that it was already too late for regret, Alex once again glanced at the cage and sho
***** Alex immediately sensed the festive atmosphere within the restaurant upon walking in.Not only that, the place was presently brimming with attractive young men and ladies who were elegantly attired and currently in groups, conversing amongst themselves joyfully.Because Alex's entrance was exceptionally unassuming, nobody took notice of him, well... not that Alex cared whether he was noticed or not.Upon entering, Alex spotted several familiar faces, including all his classmates, some schoolmates he knew, the haughty guy who had his engagement on the same day as his, his fiancee's family, and some other less significant individuals.Also, Alex saw Cliff Sotto, who he assumed definitely wasn't aware of the fate that had befallen his family yet, presently laughing heartily with a lady, exuding an aura of wealth and handsomeness.Observing him for a while, particularly his unbridled excitement, Alex couldn't help but start feeling sorry for him.He understood well that after t
***** Looking at everyone's expressions at the moment, they were all stunned to their core. It was as if they had just seen a fat pig flying in the sky.Apart from only a handful of people, everybody's eyes and mouths widened to the maximum as they gawked at both Caterina and Alex. It was as if they could comprehend, not comprehend, and desire not to comprehend what Caterina had just uttered all at the same time. But just as everyone felt as though they had ingested a large number of insects each, a chuckle echoed in the place. "What are you saying?" Subconsciously, everyone turned to glance at the speaker who was standing beside Caterina; it was Damon Parks, Caterina’s fiancee.Currently, Damon Park was so furious inside that if not that he didn't dare to, he would have long smacked Caterina to oblivion. 'This woman! How dare she attempt to publicize this matter?' 'Are you trying to destroy any chance I have left?’'Dammit! How could someone like you have been given to m
***** Dami had arrived at the venue much earlier than most of the people here, but because she was acquainted personally with Jewel’s Mother, she was directed upstairs as Jewel’s Mother was attempting to foster a friendship between her and her daughter. This was also why Jewel hadn’t arrived much earlier, before all the scenes that happened around Alex, because she had encountered her mother and Dami the moment she exited the room. With that encounter, her mother had directly wasted time, busily introducing Dami to her as her friend's daughter and wanting them to be friends. ..... Back to the present, while Alex was grappling with an unexpected headache due to the unexpected person he saw, the unexpected person who had already spotted him suddenly flashed him a surprised grin followed by an excited one. After a few seconds, just as she and her entourage were about to start descending the staircase, she waved cheerfully at Alex. Fortunately, everyone's attention was still on Jewe
