*****“We just confirmed with our eyes that the target is out of his protection zone, anything else you have for us?”In a hidden place, someone who couldn’t be seen unless all attention was placed upon by a cultivator could be heard speaking in a hushed manner to the phone, then after a while, he went silent for a few seconds before resuming again, and eventually, he dropped the call.“What did they say?”Another voice spoke, similarly in a hushed manner like the first one.“Those brats actually commanded me to continue following the target and should be giving them updates at every moment.”“Fuck it!”A lady’s irritated voice spat with deep anger.“I hate those arrogant pricks. They should just let me handle them, I will suck the fuck out of their life and make them understand that their arrogance means nothing to me.”Everybody said their minds, but unfortunately for them, that was the only thing they could do at the end of the day, nothing more.So after a while of compla
*****Late in the night and still on the highway.Had the place been crowded right now or if any human had been passing by, they would have been shocked to their core and scared to death for the lives in what they were presently witnessing. They would have also lost all hopes of survival for the lives within.But unfortunately, nobody was there to witness the scene right now.Deep in the night, a car that looked to have lost control of breaks and whose wheels seemed to have been broken was seen screeching and swirling crazily back and forth in the middle of the road with its speed not seeming to have reduced at all.Also, within this same car, it was all chaotic, with screams filled with fear reverberating so loudly.This continued for a while when suddenly, just as the car was about to run down a cliff which would definitely lead to its explosion, it came to an abrupt stop.This stop was so sudden that the scream within the car continued ringing for a long time, the people insi
******"Should I go check on him?"Back within the car, Jewel who was still wrapped together with Dami suddenly asked, her face looking anxious as she peered through all the windshields, into the night."Sis… sister Jewel, didn't you say we should wait for him, let's do as you say then…"Dami, who also appeared uneasy as she gazed through the night, spoke with her voice trembling slightly."But he has been gone for more than five minutes now, and my instincts are telling me that something is amiss."Still nervously, Jewel said, and Dami quickly nodded her head, as if she was feeling the same way as Jewel."Should I go check on him?" Dami asked."No, let me go instead."Hearing Jewel and realizing that her voice seemed to allow no disagreement, Dami hesitated for a brief moment before nodding her head again. “Okay.""I will be back soon," Jewel said before gently and carefully exiting the car while scanning her surroundings as if she were on the lookout for something."Please be carefu
*****For some reason, the next day was somehow calm in school, and nobody tried to look for trouble with Alex whatsoever.Well… it wasn’t that Alex noticed.No, he didn’t even notice anything at all since his mind was only filled with Jewel.He continued recalling the never-ending nightmares he had since he slept the previous night till this morning.During his sleep the previous night, he was even woken up countless times because of these scary nightmares, and the night terrors had one thing in common, it was related to what they both experienced going home the night before.Alex dreamt that the Skeleton caught Jewel and did to her what it did to the five youths, he dreamt that it abducted Jewel and disappeared with her, that Jewel became hopeless, and many more.Even recalling the nightmare right now makes Alex break out in a sweat.Every time Alex thought of what would have happened, he kept thanking his stars that he had given Jewel the protective necklace and Jade hairpin
*****“Do you not say that the bastard was an ordinary nobody?”Presently in the grand elder’s inner cave, the grand elder who currently appears casual while chewing on some seed read out loud.“Me, say he was an ordinary nobody? When?”He questioned himself casually, appearing not to have taken the words seriously in the least.With that, he released his mind energy, coupled with his thoughts, and instantly, the questions he just muttered out loud to himself appeared on the scroll before him.Just as these words appeared, a single word that was filled to the brim with killing intent appeared below it, scaring the grand elder to his core and making him take some steps back with fear.“This bastard!!!”He gritted his teeth furiously, his breathing quickening as he dared not gaze at the single word that almost took his life.Looking at the word, it wasn’t anything special, it was only; “You!!”But although it was only a single word, a written word at that, the strong killing in
Chapter 150 - An Unexpected Auction*****Immediately after the call ended, Alex called his two girlfriends to inform them that he would be going out of town the next day.Although tge call was made desperately to the two ladies, they both reacted in the same manner, first dumbfounded, before becoming filled with questions and getting confused.But in the end, they didn’t question Alex at all, thinking that what he was going to do must be very personal.With that, they wished him a safe trip and only asked when he would be back.Once the calls ended, Alex was about to park some necessities for the journey when he received a call from someone whom he had almost forgotten completely.It was from the Old Man, the obsessed old man Pu who had introduced Alex to the idea that there are actually ki cultivators in the mortal world, who are hidden away from the public.He was the one who had wanted to buy his presents for Jewel on her birthday.After returning to his senses from recolle
*****In one of the countless slums in Potter City, there was a massive old building that used to belong to one of the wealthiest and most powerful leaders of Potters City before things changed and the circle of life occurred.According to history, the owner of this building was a benevolent person who despite being powerful enough to own almost everything he wanted in the world decided to build his house in this area which had always been a slum since the beginning of time.Some might ask why he built such an enormous house when he was called a benevolent human being. Actually, it was to house the countless homeless people from all the wakes of lives in the country.This person was so great that even though he had been dead for more than a hundred years already, his status was still very fresh and nice, his iconic history was still being passed down from generation to generation even though it wasn’t being taught in schools, and his building had turned into a tourist center for a
*****“Hey, brother Luke, you look so excited, was it because of those wealthy people whom we’ve never seen before in our lives or because of the first month’s Salary I heard from your mother you just received from your new job?”“Duh… look at you! Hehehe! I’m excited because I’m going to make it big tonight, what does it have to do with me about the wealthy people?”“You… make it big? Are you going to rob a bank?”“Yes, brother Luke, are you going to rob a bank? If not, you have to carry your brothers with you as well!”“Me, rob a bank… nah… Nah, I will never do such a thing ““Then what are you up to? How are you going to make it big?”With that, the young man who had made a bet with Alex suddenly pointed in Alex’s direction, telling his friends who had just arrived about the bet he just made with him.“Argh!!! Brother Luke, why didn’t you call me about such a great goody?”“Fuck you brother Luke, and I took you as my number one brother in arms!”They were all immediately o
