"Um... Grandmaster, what are we waiting for, exactly?" After spending close to an hour outside the restaurant, Master Liam and Master Robert, both with their faces concealed by caps, couldn't resist asking cautiously.

As soon as Ares heard them, he smiled mysteriously. “You will know soon,” he responded.

Just then, a taxi pulled up before Ares and then he stepped forward.

“Old m..." He began with a smile, but his expression quickly changed when he noticed the urgent and frightened look on the taxi driver's face.

"Younger brother," Old man Lean suddenly spoke with a solemn tone. "You promised me three times my usual fare if I agreed to pick you up, no?"

“This…” Ares, still very certain that the old man had encountered some sort of trouble dragged his words for a second then he nodded his head.

“Let’s enter,” he informed the still-confused master Liam and Master Robert.

Despite harboring numerous questions, the two elderly men complied without hesitation. Master Liam took

    *****"Return my daughter to me! Don't you people want your money? I'll give it to you!"By the time Ares caught up with Old Man Lean, he was already in the reception area, yelling and pounding the desk furiously, but there was no response to him for a while."That's not how it works." Manager Mo, known for deriving pleasure from witnessing people's despair as their lives crumbled, calmly emerged from his office after a while of leaving Old Man Lean to almost shout out his throat and lungs."You!!!" Old Man Lean's eyes reddened even more upon sighting Manager Mo. "I demand my daughter's immediate release, or else I'll turn this place into ruins right now!!!" He roared again, his voice filled to the brim with fury and hatred.This was what Manger Mo loved the most."You want to turn my establishment into a ruin, huh?" He laughed daringly. "Well, I regret to inform you that your daughter has already joined our ranks of prostitutes and is likely already servicing someone your age.

    ****** After pleading desperately and offering to risk his life for mercy by bringing Old Man Lean’s daughter, Manager Mo quickly sent someone to bring the lady. She was incredibly beautiful, especially in her provocative attire which was likely meant for the alleged boss. Regrettably, however, her eyes were a deep crimson, and her tear-stained face showed distress as she rushed into her father's arms upon arrival. As soon as Ares saw her, her brows deeply squinted. “Why does she look familiar?” He mumbled to himself, but then he shook his head before glancing back at manager Mo. “I want you to release everybody else in your captive straight away.” Manager Mo was terrified again and he burst into tears like a little bullied kid after hearing Ares’s order. Although he was greatly reluctant to comply, he had no choice but to obey, realizing that defying Ares’s order would result in an undoubted death for him, which he deemed to be a far worse outcome. The captives consisted of bo

    ***** ‘How could this be?’ ‘Why are Master Robert and Master Liam showing him this massive respect?’ ‘Wasn't he always ridiculed for being insignificant?’ ‘So, he truly does have a connection with Master Robert and Master Liam.’ ‘Perhaps this is why Master Liam hurried over yesterday, and it's not just a matter of coincidence as my roommates and others have insisted.’ Alle, one of Ares’s schoolmates wouldn’t stop gaping at Ares after she returned to her father’s taxi together with him. Her thoughts and mind were in total disarray right now, and she struggled to focus on anything being said around her until her grandfather gently touched her. “Are you alright?” He inquired gently while Ares, who had long caught Alle’s gaze on himself stared intently at her. “I…” Alle opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, but then Ares spoke. “You know me somewhere, don’t you?” Everybody instantly glanced at Alle and she directly became nervous, recalling how scary Ares had been within the

    *****Although Ares was now a powerful cultivator, he was still a human being at the end of the day, so, by the time he got to the villa that night, he was already starving. This made him recall that he had not eaten anything in days and he was greatly amazed.“Father.”As soon as he entered, he saw Smith sitting on the couch and watching some news on the television, but Smith only spared him a glance before nodding his head slightly at him and then returning to watching his news.Knowing that his father-in-law wasn’t interested in communicating with him, Ares moved toward his little room, hoping to take a cold shower before looking for something to eat, but just as he walked past the kitchen, which was just a few feet adjacent to his room, Ava, who had just finished preparing the dinner saw him.“And where do you think you are sneaking to in my house?”‘Sneaking?’ Ares was confused about why his mother-in-law would say that.He glanced at her and greeted her. “I had no idea th

    *****“Daughter, I’m telling you, I will never let that son of a bitch live for free under my roof without doing anything. It’s either you permit me to use him for free now or he leaves my house right at this moment.”Having their dinner, Ava couldn’t help but complain to her daughter.Smith wanted to retort, telling her to let go, but then he shook his head, thinking that it would be better for him to not be involved.As for Olivia, who was just having her first meal of the day, she hesitated for a moment, then she nodded her head.“You are free to use him as you see fit, then, Mother.” She said calmly.As soon as Ava heard this, she became excited and her eyes began to flash with mischievousness.This was what Ares met when he reached the dining room, but he acted as though he did not hear anything, though he felt a tiny bit disappointed that Olivia would give her Mother such a permission.“And what is a poverty lowlife trash like you doing where my little family is having o

    *****To avoid unnecessary troubles with Ava, Ares woke up very early the next day to prepare breakfast.As he had done the dishes before going to sleep the previous night, it did not take long for Ares to be done.“Good morning, mother.” He exited the kitchen and greeted Ava as soon as he felt her presence downstairs.“You!!! What are you doing in my kitchen?!” Ava’s face directly became etched with animosity as she glared at Ares.“Don’t tell me that you beast has entered my kitchen while everybody was sleeping to devour all my food?!” She inquired with a distrust manner, then not waiting for Ares’s response, she ran into the kitchen.Ares was speechless. ‘It seems that mother-in-law is the definition of anger,’ he shook his head and then walked into the kitchen after Ava.Meanwhile, looking at the delectable meals in the pot before her and perceiving their godly aroma, Ava became stuck in her tracks.She turned around after a moment and then gazed at Ares with a daze. “You

He irritates me," Olive suddenly remarked out of nowhere, breaking the deep silence within the car.Olivia, who had been lost in her thoughts beside him, was immediately jolted awake and quickly turned to him. It took her a moment to grasp what Olive meant, and then her brows furrowed slightly. "Why do you feel that way?" she inquired with confusion.Olive gazed slightly at her for a second then returned his attention to the front. “I just don’t like him,” he restated calmly.“This…” Olivia’s brows furrowed even more.Truthfully, she harbored her own dislike for Ares, even bordering on hatred, or so she believed. However, hearing the intense hatred in Olive's voice, she found herself unable to identify the source of her sudden unease.She pondered for a moment before shaking her head. “He is not actually that bad,” she remarked, greatly startling Olive.“You…” He gaped at her. “You… I think you also hate him, did you not?”A wave of uneasiness

He matched straight into the bustling car dealership without a moment's hesitation, feeling a surge of excitement unlike any he had experienced in years.This would be his first time ever owning a car on Earth. He trembled even more as he took in the sight of all the gleaming, sleek cars surrounding him upon his entry, overwhelmed with excitement.Ares beamed and then walked toward a particular Porsche."Nice," he remarked and quickly scanned the surroundings until he spotted someone he presumed to be a sales attendant.“Hello, miss,” he grinned brightly at the lady, approaching her. “I would like to purchase a car.” He stated excitedly.As soon as Ares’s voice sounded, the attendant, Tyra glanced at him, excited that she would finally make her first sale of the day, but the moment she saw Ares’s faded jeans and worn-out shirt, a massive disappointment washed over her and then she directly scoffed.“Only god knows when our dealer

    ***** "What can I do now that you and second brother decided to disappear on me?" The first brother, who appeared to have matured significantly compared to his past self, let out a deep sigh in response to Ares's question. Ares stared at him for a moment before clenching his fists. ‘Do I really think he would feel like he's on top of the world just because I decided to come back?’ he thought with a wry smile, recalling something. “Aren’t I also like him?” he mumbled, recalling how he wouldn’t forgive his parents after learning the true reason behind their disappearance. Instantly, all of Ares's remaining anger toward his parents vanished. .... Returning to see his first brother made him realize that sometimes, causing pain to one's loved ones is beyond one’s control because as long as there are bigger pictures to consider, one would always betray the trust of their loved ones.

    ***** "So, this is Jasper," Ares thought as he observed the middle-aged man bowing respectfully to his parents. He was at a loss for what to feel, gazing at the person he had deeply despised and always hated to the bone until now. He had always believed this person had betrayed his parents. In case it had been forgotten, this was the name Ares heard on the day he unlocked his inheritance—the name of the person who had betrayed his parents. Actually, Jasper had not betrayed his parents, no. In fact, everything that happened back then was all part of his parents' plan. They had deliberately made Jasper constantly reveal their locations in order to draw the enemy's attention toward themselves, allowing their organization, which had been on the verge of collapse at the time, a chance to recuperate. Apart from the organization being the main reason, another factor was that the couple had discovered the existence of a deceased Deity’s tomb. Needing to search for this Deity’s inherita

He would fight till the end.“Don’t blame me then!” The Vanguard spelled slowly and began to gather his strength.“Why don’t I send you two of my men to play with him together?” The Demon’s sect patriarch abruptly asked.Although The Vanguard directly understood that he was being treated as his name had suggested, he did not mind.“Please,” he responded and instantly, two of the Demon sect’s soldiers landed beside him.“Since you have learned not to mind your business, you can only blame yourself!” He growled beneath his voice, and then without further delay, he waved his hand.“Attack!!!”“Attack!!!” The two soldiers also roared.They rushed beside the Vanguard and like three arrows shot by a god, they flew with an insane speed toward Ol

    *****The attack was so fast and sudden that nobody had anticipated it.“To think this one is this powerful,” the ghost-looking Patriarch of the demonic sect suddenly mumbled to himself with shock, staring at the attack even he would be wary of if thrown at him.He sighed heavily before looking at the grand elder."Didn't you say we needed his help because he's human, and humans are only good at scheming?" “How come he couldn’t use that in a time like this?” he suddenly asked.The grand elder, whose gaze had been following the Vanguard immediately stopped and then turned toward the patriarch.He directly understood what the question meant, so he smiled wryly."He has clearly lost all ability to reason since the other party just killed his only daughter," he mumbled.The patriarch immediately shook his head with disappointment upon hearing the response."Considering the other party was just a young kid whom anyone from the sect could have easily handled, doesn't that mean we
