"A..."Blood instantly stained the middle-aged man's face. The pain quickly overwhelmed him, making him feel even more frightened. But things were far from over. The head robber, still furious, raised his foot and kicked the man in the chest once more."Please... stop hitting me! I beg you, don't hit me anymore!"The middle-aged man felt increasingly terrified from the pain of the beating and the robbers' angry expressions. Meanwhile, the two other robbers had already taken control of the young woman and began forcing her into the car's back seat."Please... please, don't do this. I... I beg you!"Inside the car, the young woman's voice grew increasingly frightened. Additionally, the sound of rustling clothes was continuous, making the middle-aged man's face turn even paler. However, he didn't dare to say a word at this moment, as the boss's gun was pointed at his head, accompanied by a highly menacing grin."Don't worry. Wait until my two guys finish with your girlfriend, and they'll
A short while later, the city police arrived on the scene. They found all four robbers lying on the ground and the hijacked car wrecked. In that instant, none of the officers could understand what had just happened.After a while, when they obtained information from the young woman's testimony, they learned that someone had taken action against the robbers. At this point, all the police were utterly astonished...."Benjamin, are you alright?"As he drove back to the old road, Benjamin had just stepped out of the car when he saw Olivia's anxious expression, her eyes questioning his well-being.He shook his head slightly and smiled at Olivia, saying: “I'm fine. Now, do you want me to take you home?"Seeing Benjamin was genuinely unharmed, Olivia finally breathed a small sigh of relief. However, upon hearing his question, she hesitated a bit. In truth, she hadn't been injured at all. She was worried that Benjamin had been hurt during the fight with the robbers, so she wanted him to go t
By now, Benjamin no longer wished to threaten Edwyn. He slowly stood up and walked over to Edwyn, smiling."I don't want anything. I want to ask, what is the nature of your relationship with Secretary Clara?"At this point, Edwyn's expression became even stranger. However, upon seeing the knife in Benjamin's hand approaching his face, he couldn't help but quickly confess."There's... there's no relationship. I... I just wanted to use her to steal some confidential documents from On The Peak Corporation. But that hasn't happened yet. So, can you let me go this time?"By now, Edwyn dared not confront Benjamin and could only bow down, begging for mercy. However, Benjamin did not immediately respond. His eyes scanned Edwyn's body.Then, he suddenly raised his hand and gently patted Edwyn's face."I didn't want to ask you about this. You told me yourself. So, if something happens in the future, you can't blame me, right?"As he spoke, Benjamin pulled out his phone and waved it before Edwyn
As he drove away from the company, Benjamin didn't know where he was heading. He only saw the sky growing darker, and in front of him was an endless coastline with waves crashing vigorously. This scene felt incredibly familiar to him. After a moment of thought, he realized it was the same place where he and Olivia had met earlier that day."Where are you? Can you come out and have a few drinks with me?"Not knowing exactly why, Benjamin suddenly took out his phone and texted Olivia. This time, he didn't wait too long, and soon his phone flashed with a new notification. He then saw Olivia's reply."I'm in my room. Can you come to pick me up?"Seeing this message from Olivia, a bright smile formed on Benjamin's face. He quickly typed a response."Sure, wait for me a bit. I'll be there in five minutes."At this moment, Olivia was lying on her bed. She had just stepped out of the bathroom when she saw Benjamin's message, so she quickly replied. However, she didn't expect Benjamin to arriv
“Where have you been? Why are you coming home at this hour?”Seeing Benjamin return home past midnight, sitting down to work in the living room, Isabella couldn’t help but shoot him a sharp glance.However, Benjamin seemed quite indifferent at the moment. He didn’t pay her any attention and went straight upstairs.“Hey, I’m talking to you. Why aren’t you answering me?”This morning, seeing Benjamin with Olivia had already made Isabella feel a bit uneasy. Now, she could even smell the lingering scent of a woman’s perfume on him. Isabella became irritated and raised her voice.Yet, Benjamin cast her a sidelong glance, his tone mocking.“What does it matter to you where I go or what I do? Weren’t you the one who wanted a divorce? Why do you care about such things now?”“You...”Isabella was truly infuriated by Benjamin’s attitude, but she couldn’t find a way to retort in the heat of the moment. All she could do was fume as she watched his retreating figure.Lying in bed, Benjami
Departing from the hotel, Benjamin and Isabella were seated in a sleek black limousine, with Hani accompanying them in the car. The limousine quickly left the city center, heading towards Siam Square, a bustling shopping area in the Pathum Wan district.However, the car didn't stop at the square but instead continued at a leisurely pace towards the Royal Palace, the residence of the Thai royal family. Of course, the vehicle merely drove past without stopping there.After over half an hour on the road, the limousine finally stopped in front of an immense mansion. As soon as the car approached the gate, Benjamin noticed a group of armed soldiers guarding both sides.Witnessing the scene, Isabella's complexion turned pale, and a deep sense of anxiety filled her heart. Sensing her uneasiness, Hani gently patted Isabella's arm in reassurance."This is Prince Chainan's mansion. He is a friendly man, and you don't need to worry."Instead of being reassured, Isabella felt even more anxious. A
Thump!"Will he be alright?"Witnessing the two Thai fighters continuously cornering Benjamin in one part of the ring, Isabella grew increasingly anxious. She turned to Hani for reassurance.Unable to answer definitively, Hani could only offer a comforting smile and say: "Don't worry. There are several masters here who will intervene if things get out of hand."However, even after offering these words, she lacked confidence in her own statement.After all, anything could happen in the ring, and even if the masters were to intervene in time, they might not be able to protect both fighters completely.Moreover, the Thai fighters' demeanor indicated their intense anger toward Benjamin. They put their full force into each attack. If it weren't for Benjamin's agility and ability to dodge their dangerous knee and elbow strikes, he might already be lying in a hospital bed.Of course, this was merely an external appearance. In reality, Benjamin maintained complete control of the match. Despit
Seeing this scene, Isabella's face showed terror. She had no idea why Master Chaiya had become so frightening.However, the others were not as shocked. Especially the son of the Chai family, who seemed to enjoy the scene, complimenting Master Chaiya."Unexpectedly, Master Chaiya could utilize mystic arts, awakening the hidden spirit within his body. If his power was only thirty percent earlier, he can now unleash one hundred and twenty percent of his strength.""Unfortunately, this type of mystic art cannot be maintained for long. Otherwise, Master Chaiya's power could reach the level of a mid-stage venerable master."As he spoke, Chai Ra Thew shook his head, his eyes filled with regret as he thought of the mystic art Master Chaiya was using.Meanwhile, standing in the arena, Benjamin remained calm. In fact, he had known from the beginning that Thai martial artists often employed mystic arts to enhance their abilities. Particularly, those who utilized body tattoos had even more potent
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
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
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
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with blonde hair and glasses, holding a laptop, arrived looking somewhat harried and sleep-deprived. He looked toward Red, placed his hand over his chest, and rapidly spoke.“Prince Red, why have you summoned me here? My research is on the brink of completion, needing only one final step. If there's nothing urgent, I would like to return and continue with my work.”After speaking, the middle-aged man seemed incredibly impatient, ready to turn and leave.Seeing this, Red felt slightly annoyed but did not show anger. Instead, his face bore a placating expression, and he hastily replied.“Mr. Steven, I genuinely have a very important matter that requires your assistance. Agat and Orange are in trouble in New Braum, and I want you to go there and bring them back. What do you think?”Red's attitude was extremely humble, a stark contrast to his earlier arrogance and pride.However, Steven seemed not to care, his eyes sweeping the control room in a glan
However, Steven seemed uninterested, his eyes sweeping the control room before he spoke, a little annoyed.“Your Highness Red, such a trivial matter, and you call me here? If you feel overly bored, I can help you with some training time. Within the next twenty-four hours, I assure you that the time spent will not be wasted at all!”Hearing this, Red's eyes showed a hint of fear.Although the man was just a human, his strength was not particularly great. However, Steven's status in the kingdom was very special. He was a scholar, and his creativity was terrifying.Hundreds of years ago, when the kingdom of Autuman was just a small tribe on the planet Namec, their king, then a young man, luckily rescued a human, and this human was the middle-aged man before him, Steven.Harnessing the terrifying breadth of Steven's intellect, in less than a decade, Autuman evolved from a minor tribe, nestled in the wilderness of planet Namec, into a mighty empire. They conquered the entirety of Namec, an
Boom!Boom!Boom!Blood painted the sky, and countless pieces of metal debris littered the ground.A smirk formed on Benjamin's lips. He hadn't expected that after such a long slumber, its power had grown so immense.However, the sight of the scattered armor shards pained him.Such high-quality armor pieces, capable of enhancing a warrior's strength and providing incredible defense, were now in ruins. For someone of Benjamin's caliber, these armors might not pose much challenge, but if equipped by his soldiers, they would have been invaluable assets, exponentially amplifying their combat prowess.Although he felt a twinge of regret, Benjamin didn't blame Alan. Instead, he commended him."Alan, you did splendidly!""Chirp, chirp!"As Benjamin's praise graced his ears, a rush of exhilaration surged through Alan. In mere moments, his form swiftly contracted, taking on the delicate guise of a sparrow, which alighted on Benjamin's shoulder, its chirps melodious and relentless.Witnessing s
"Ha ha ha, I was merely jesting with you." he laughed with ease, his eyes dancing mischievously: "No need to take it so seriously. Anyway, feel free to examine it. It's now mine, and even if you wish, you cannot claim it."With a boisterous laugh, Benjamin, brimming with amusement, effortlessly tossed a ring towards her.Catching a glimpse of his action, a pang of surprise coursed through Fidelma. Still, she reached out, catching the item.Holding the ornate ring in her hand, she felt a strange force emanating from within. The intricate designs adorning it suggested an ancient aura. Fidelma could confidently deduce that this was a space treasure. Its grade was undoubtedly high, surpassing any artifact she had previously encountered in the annals or in the treasury of the Moonlight Religious Sect."Done examining?" His voice hinted at impatience: "If so, kindly return it."Watching Fidelma cradle the ring, almost reluctant to release it, a twitch of amusement played on Benjamin's lips.
Now, even though its headpiece had been severed, it was still far more complete than the other armors.Without hesitation, he approached, with a mere thought, his storage ring's light flared. The entire armor, along with the leader's corpse, was drawn into it.He then surveyed the surroundings once more, detecting no anomalies. Benjamin then proceeded towards Dermot's wooden house atop the hill."Boss, you're not hurt, are you?" asked Azaria, eyeing Benjamin's bloodstained appearance with a hint of concern.Benjamin glanced at him and shook his head."I'm fine; go rest. Tonight, there may be more to do. I'll handle it myself." he said, continuing straight to Dermot's bedroom.Upon seeing Benjamin's bloodied state, Irina suddenly rushed over, her face filled with alarm. She hastily grabbed his hand, her expression fraught with concern."You...you're alright?" she stammered.Seeing her worry, Benjamin merely shook his head without verbally responding. Meanwhile, Dermot emerged from the
Although puzzled, Benjamin refrained from questioning her outright. Instead, his gaze swept the room. Aside from scattered clothing and discarded food on the floor, nothing seemed amiss. It was logical. After all, someone fleeing in a hurry wouldn't leave traces behind."Where did the woman who was in your room go?" he inquired, his sudden question startling Irina, making her let out a soft gasp.At her reaction, Benjamin's eyebrows furrowed, his gaze growing wary: "What did you ask?" she stammered, fear evident in her voice.Reiterating his query but with more firmness, he watched as Irina visibly shrank back, finally murmuring: "She...she said she had something to do and left. Can...can you not look at me like that? I'm truly scared."Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, every word dripping with fear. Benjamin felt a pang of confusion but, before he could react, she threw herself at him, gripping him tightly: "Please don't go. I'm truly terrified. This place... I can't bear to
