***** The following morning, Alex was pleasantly surprised when he realized that Dami had arrived as usual and carried out all her customary tasks.Initially, he had assumed she might feel awkward due to the sudden shift in their relationship after the intense battle they had in his bedroom the previous day, especially the one they had before he escorted her home.'Well… this outcome seems more favorable.'That was Alex's thought before he regained his composure. He then approached Dami from behind while she focused on something simmering in the pot, radiating enthusiasm.He gently embraced her graceful figure, which was impossible to conceal even in her glossy black pants and white shirt. Alex whispered softly into her ear, "Good morning."Dami was taken aback at first because of the unexpected hug. However, within moments, a radiant smile adorned her face, and she continued her task without displaying any discomfort.“Good morning, master.”Alex blinked in astonishment.“Master?!
*****"Grand Elder, what are you going to do now?"Inside a lavishly decorated cave filled with potent ki that permeated the air, several elderly and middle-aged individuals gazed at an old man with reluctant expressions on their faces.The person they were observing was the grand elder of Valley of Joy whose grandson had been divided into several potions by Alex.Upon hearing the question he was asked, the old man, who appeared like a living corpse, suddenly lifted an eye. In the next second, his gaze was filled to the brim with a murderous intent that sent shivers down the spines of those standing before him."Even if all the clans and schools ranked above us, including all of you, unite to persuade me to abandon revenge, I will fight until the end. I'll send that wretch to the underworld after subjecting him to the most excruciating torture imaginable in this world."Despite his calm and casual tone, his words sent a shudder through everyone present, leading them to exchange glance
*****Several moments earlier, after Dami and Alex entered the classroom, the room fell into complete silence for several seconds before suddenly, loud gasps began to reverberate, and everyone, both boys and girls, started to stare at Dami with astonishment, disbelief, and jealousy, especially the ladies. They couldn't fathom how their gender could be so effortlessly stunning in their lifetimes. The girls instantly felt disheartened and lost all confidence in their own beauty.As for the boys, after savoring their amazement for a while, they began to compare Dami to the school's top beauties. It soon became evident that not even the number one on the list, their class president whom they knew in the past, could hold a candle to her beauty. Realizing this, all the boys grew even more astounded, and after some time, they became excited, their breath quickening."Now, I can finally accept the fact that that scoundrel has won over the class president.""This is fantastic! I now have a b
***** Apart from being the top school's belle, hailing from a prominent family, being extremely intelligent, and being one of the few female class presidents in the school, the reason Jewel was renowned was her constant aloofness and composed demeanor. It would be an understatement to say that most people feared her due to the icy aura she had cultivated that repelled others.So, observing Jewel now, with a fierce expression on her impeccably beautiful face, no one dared to speak a word. Had it been a fellow student or even a lecturer who had snapped at them just now, they would have undoubtedly been incensed and acted contrary to the commanding voice, but perhaps because of the influence Jewel had wielded in the past, everyone involuntarily swallowed hard and regarded her with trepidation, regardless of their background.As for Alex, who had been initially infuriated and was about to act, his face was now adorned with a wide grin, and an air of pride had enveloped him. ‘That's
Eventually, the crowd reached a consensus that they would approach a highly popular gang to handle Alex on their behalf so that he would understand that they weren't individuals he should challenge and compete with.Concluded with that, the boys in the crowd started discussing how they should fairly vie for Jewel's attention and affection once Alex was removed from the equation and Jewel became aware of the type of person they would paint him.As for the ladies present, initially, they were brimming with envy and anger when they saw how the guys, including their crushes and boyfriends, were eager to win Jewel's favor. However, upon realizing how exceptionally beautiful Jewel was, it was as if they had lost something significant, and their expressions turned bitter.After a while, they exchanged glances and gestured to one another to move away from the boys. There, they held their own meeting, and some of the ladies succeeded in sowing the seeds of resentment in the hearts of the o
“ Is This the Same Jewel Marshman I Know?”“Are... are you telling me this is the same Jewel Marshman I know? The one whose birthday party I was supposed to attend just the day before yesterday?"Currently, inside a bathtub, a young man who was sitting upright with a glass of wine and an opened half bottle of wine beside him could be seen gaping at his phone with an astonished expression on his face.No matter how long he gazed at the screen, he couldn't bring himself to believe that the person on the phone was the same individual he was familiar with.Inspecting the screen, one could find the image of an extraordinarily beautiful maiden with impeccable magnificence standing there, her face wearing an icy expression that could send shivers down one's spine. It was this maiden that had left the young man utterly flabbergasted.After appearing as though he had lost his sanity for a while, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up as if there were flashlights in them.But that wasn't all. His
“Sister Jewel is so impressive, to think that she actually managed to conceal her emotions all these years and act like Aunt Fiona!"Presently, Dami could be seen driving her crimson sports car with a dreamy expression on her face as she spoke animatedly with her sat Alex who was wearing a helpless look beside her.Ever since they left the school, Dami had been talking incessantly about Jewel as if she had fallen in love with her.In fact, he would have assumed she truly had truly fallen for her if he didn't know better.Well, this wasn't what caused Alex's feeling of helplessness right now, since this was exactly what he wanted, for the two ladies to share a great bond.What truly caused Alex's sense of helplessness was that ever since he and she entered the car, no matter what he asked Dami, she kept disregarding him and continued talking dreamily about Jewel, as if she was intentionally neglecting him, making Alex's thoughts become complicated.'Was it as I'd presumed?'He swallowe
That night, after Alex Johnson pondered his current and future misery for an extended period, he eventually retired to his bedroom, but no matter what he did and tried, he couldn't fall asleep and just kept rolling about in the bed, so he chose to cultivate, which he quickly became absorbed in.Simultaneously, as Alex began his cultivation, a few shadowy figures discreetly arrived outside his estate at a distance.These figures were exceptionally stealthy, to the point that if someone wasn't a formidable cultivator and wasn't fully paying attention to the location of the figure's arrival, they wouldn't detect their presence.There were five of them and they were all completely cloaked from head to toe in pitch-black robes, exuding a potent eerie aura from their bodies.Even as they stood there, their forms would be challenging to discern, even to an observer.Among these five figures, one of them stood out prominently in the darkness.While this particular figure was also garbed like
