Boom!Boom!Several blows in succession, and Benjamin had lost track of time. But at this moment, cracks began to appear on the wall before him. They spread and widened until finally, with a full-force punch, the wall collapsed. A vast space revealed itself, stretching out before his eyes.Here, Benjamin beheld a huge sacrificial altar, filling almost the entire space. Above the altar hung a heart. Though he could not ascertain from what creature it was taken, its appearance allowed him to sense an incredibly evil energy, pervading the entire space.Moreover, this evil energy made his mind reel slightly. Were it not for his strong will, Benjamin feared he would have been bewitched by the heart.Instantly, his face marked with caution, he retreated a few steps."This is truly bizarre? How could such an altar appear here?"But just then, stepping back some twenty meters, a sound of great astonishment suddenly came from behind him.Startled, Benjamin quickly turned to see the people who
Instantly, his face became grave. Only now did he discern the fading form of Alan, with even the flames upon it having waned by more than half. Yet, what was most alarming was the emanating ominous aura from the Demon God's heart, causing Benjamin to jolt and hurriedly shout,"Elder!""Hm?!"Hearing Benjamin's call, an ethereal figure suddenly appeared outside the central region of the altar. Its gaze locked onto the sealed space above the altar."Ha ha ha, foolish humans, my true form is almost here. Once it arrives, I'll reduce the both of you to mere ashes!"Sensing the familiar aura steadily nearing the altar, the Demon God's heart laughed triumphantly.However, a languid voice suddenly intervened,"Quiet!"Following which, an overpowering force, emanating from Benjamin, suddenly descended, shattering the very core of the heart."AHH!"A scream echoed from within. Simultaneously, an ethereal figure, eyes filled with disbelief, turned towards the altar."What is this force?!"Feeli
Benjamin, unbeknownst to him, was oblivious to the demonic prince's frenzy over the armor. He held in his hand a command token, under which lay a somewhat tragic corpse. However, a familiar energy emanated from the token, causing his brows to furrow deeply, for a voice resounded urgently within his mind."Chirp chirp!"Deep in thought, Benjamin was roused by Alan's voice. The creature, now the size of a sparrow, perched gracefully upon his shoulder.Recognizing the intention behind the creature's head rubbing against him, a tender smile graced Benjamin's lips: "You did wonderfully." he praised."Chirp chirp!"In response, Alan regurgitated an ancient ring which landed deftly in Benjamin's palm. As it touched his skin, the ring transformed into a golden glow, wrapping around his finger. It was the space ring Benjamin had discovered in the Dragon Palace. Although the spirit inside was dormant, its basic functions remained accessible.Earlier, Benjamin had entrusted this ring to Alan to
"What are you doing? Who allowed you to walk beside me?" In the grand lobby of the largest hotel in Blue Sea City, a beautiful woman was wearing a form-fitting dress that accentuated her stunning curves. She was casting a disdainful glance at the man walking beside her. The man appeared somewhat embarrassed, touching his nose and taking a small step back, while a sheepish smile appeared. Benjamin Arnold was a recently discharged soldier. Because his sister was seriously ill and needed money for treatment, he had no choice but to agree to an arranged marriage with Isabella Taylor and live with the Taylors. Due to her need for him to address some personal matters and his need for money, a marriage of convenience subsequently occurred between them. Benjamin spoke in a low voice. "Wife, is it okay if I walk like this?" "Silence! Who permitted you to address me like that? Remember, you are only my husband in name, and we have no relationship whatsoever. Do you understand?!" Although
Bam! "What are you trying to do?" Just waking up from a dream, Benjamin was suddenly kicked off the bed. His face instantly turned sour as he squinted at the angry Isabella lying on the bed. "What do I want to do? I want to stomp you to death!" "Wait, hold on!" Seeing Isabella's furious appearance, Benjamin finally awoke from his dream. He quickly got up, looked at Isabella, and raised his hands above his head."This wasn't my fault, either. It was you who provoked me last night. Then, I couldn't hold back anymore. So...""Shut up, and I won't let you speak!"Before Benjamin could finish speaking, Isabella's piercing scream interrupted him. Caught off guard, Benjamin had no choice but to close his mouth obediently.Immediately afterward, a torn dress was thrown from the bed to the floor. As she glared at him, Isabella's expression grew colder and more challenging."I want you to buy me a new dress like this!"As Benjamin looked at the torn dress thrown before him, he intended to
After finishing the bread, Benjamin's empty stomach felt somewhat complete. But now, he didn't know where to go. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice calling out."Hey, we meet again!"Recognizing the familiar voice, Benjamin couldn't help but turn his head. As he did, he saw Isabella and Edwyn eating in a nearby restaurant. For a moment, Benjamin's face was filled with astonishment. However, that was quickly replaced by disdain.It was apparent that Isabella was well aware of Edwyn's ill intentions towards her, yet she not only refrained from avoiding him but also chose to dine alone with him. Benjamin couldn't help but feel disdain and contempt for her."Isabella, what do you think of my proposal?" Edwyn asked."Director Edwyn, I'd like to finalize this contract before we go to the hotel. If you agree, I'll reconsider your offer afterward."Not far from Benjamin, Edwyn paid him no attention and began conversing with Isabella. Although their voices weren't loud, Benjamin could still h
Benjamin swung his leg and kicked down forcefully. Although the kick wasn't too strong, Edwyn was so much pain. His eyes bulged, and his face contorted beyond imagination. It seemed as if he had just heard the sound of an egg cracked."You bastard... I'll kill you!"Clutching his crotch, Edwyn's mouth sounded like a pig being poked. Tears involuntarily streamed down his face like a waterfall."Let's go, and we're leaving!" Benjamin said.Seeing Edwyn's pitiful state, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Benjamin's face. However, just as he was about to leave with Isabella, Edwyn's voice suddenly rang out."You wait. I'll make sure you end up in jail!""Who are you trying to scare? You would have humiliated my friend if I hadn't shown up. If you dare to accuse me of assault, I'll report your attempted rape to the police!"Hearing Edwyn's threat, Benjamin stopped, his gaze electric, staring straight at him.But at this moment, Edwyn didn't show any worry or fear. Instead, a hideous smi
Afterward, both of them left without speaking to each other, walking home on their own. As they reached the front door, Isabella paused momentarily before looking at Benjamin with a somewhat disgusted expression."You go in first; I don't want to walk with a good-for-nothing like you."This time, Benjamin didn't react to her, he just glanced at the house's main gate. Then, he grabbed the keys to the car and threw them back to Isabella."I don't want to go in. If you want to enter, do it yourself!"With that, Benjamin decisively turned away and left. However, at that moment, Isabella suddenly blocked his path, standing before him, and said."My father is returning home today; you can't just leave."Benjamin's eyebrows furrowed slightly after hearing the mention of his father-in-law, whom he had only met once at their wedding. Seeing his expression, Isabella added: "After today, you can go wherever you want, and I won't care. But you're not allowed to leave this house before my father l
