"Alright, I don't intend to use your services right now. But, I need to go out for a while. Can you be my tour guide for ten thousand USD per hour, what do you think?"Indeed, Benjamin's proposal made the young girl feel extremely tempted. However, she didn't directly agree, as she fell into deep thought. After all, this job was introduced to her by someone she knew. If she suddenly left to be a tour guide for Benjamin, would the management punish or fire her?After pondering for a while, as if making an important decision, the girl tensed up and looked straight at Benjamin."I want one hundred thousand USD, do you agree?"Hearing this amount, Benjamin couldn't help but be astonished. It wasn't that he thought the girl was unreasonable, demanding such a high price. He just felt it was a bit strange. Normally, no one would quote such a high price for being a tour guide, except in some special cases."I... I don't really want that much money. Actually, my mother needs money for medical
He was truly desperate, as these people were notorious gangsters in Bangkok. Moreover, it was said that their boss had police protection. If they didn't pay up, he could imagine their grim fate.However, he forgot that there was someone here who was far more terrifying than the debt collectors.After hearing him threaten Malee again, Benjamin, without any hesitation, slapped him hard across the face."You..."This time, Benjamin's slap was so powerful that Malee's stepfather let out a miserable cry. He tried to struggle, glaring at Benjamin.However, as soon as he met Benjamin's gaze, his entire body trembled coldly. It felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, unable to move."You'd better behave. Otherwise, I'll deal with you right now."Intimidated by Benjamin's words, Malee's stepfather didn't dare to say anything, only nodding his head repeatedly in agreement.Afterward, Benjamin didn't bother with him any further. He pushed him aside and slowly walked over to Malee."How much do
For a moment, Benjamin felt a throbbing headache. He needed to learn how he should handle Malee's situation. Regardless, he promised to help Malee get her mother medical treatment, and he couldn't abandon it halfway. That wasn't his character.Having decided, Benjamin intended to check Malee's mother's health first and then decide what to do next. However, at that very moment, the ground beneath them suddenly shook violently, followed by several loud booms.Turning around, Benjamin saw a gigantic man over two meters tall approaching from outside. Moreover, beside him was the young man with the spiked hair that he had just driven away.In an instant, Benjamin's eyebrows furrowed. He never thought that these people would come back to cause him trouble."Black, it's him, the one who beat us up. You must get justice for us!"As soon as he arrived, the young man with spiked hair couldn't help but point at Benjamin and shout.Indeed, they had brought powerful reinforcement. After all, the m
Seeing Black’s current state, all the thugs following the young man with the crew-cut hair were terrified. Then, one of them suddenly shouted.“He’s killed him! He’s killed him!”This shout broke the silence in the small neighborhood, causing everyone to be alarmed as they looked at Black’s enormous body lying on the ground.“What are you yelling about? He’s not dead yet. Hurry up and take him to the hospital!”At this point, Benjamin’s expression was slightly annoyed as he dragged the crew-cut young man back. Seeing his collar tightly gripped by Benjamin, the young man shivered, and the smell of urine continuously emanated from his pants.Then, his entire body collapsed to the ground, continuously kowtowing toward Benjamin.“Big brother, please spare me! I know I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again! I promise to mend my ways, become a vegetarian, pray to Buddha, and not be a thug anymore!”While kowtowing, he kept crying loudly, as if he were terrified that Benjamin would butcher
But as soon as Hani uttered these words, Isabella’s expression changed. She quickly shot Benjamin an angry look.Then, looking apologetically at Hani, she said: “I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through and made you feel uncomfortable. My friend has already booked a table at the hotel. If you don’t mind, you can join us.”Upon hearing Isabella’s invitation, Hani looked at Benjamin. Seeing him nod, she happily accepted the offer.However, Winston’s face at that moment resembled someone attending a funeral. He still remembered how Benjamin had tricked him last time, costing him a lot of money. Seeing that Benjamin wanted to bring someone along, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly.However, at this moment, it seemed as if Isabella had discovered his awkwardness, and her voice suddenly rang out.“Winston, can I invite you again if you feel uncomfortable?”Hearing Isabella’s words, Winston momentarily choked. What could he say now? Although he was pretty reluctant in his heart, he could only p
“Oh, has everyone arrived already? I'm so embarrassed. I had some unexpected matters to attend to, so I couldn't make it on time. I wonder, have you all been waiting long?"At this moment, a burst of cheerful laughter suddenly resounded from outside the entrance. A middle-aged man with a slightly plump figure stepped in from outside.Upon seeing this man, Winston quickly stood and headed toward the entrance. However, Winston's expression momentarily froze after noticing a young woman dressed in black, with a thin silk veil covering her face, accompanying Radley.At the same time, Benjamin's gaze was fixed intently on the young woman beside Radley. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Why is it her?!"Even though her face was obscured by a thin silk veil, through her aura and posture while moving, Benjamin could confirm that he had encountered this woman before, and she was pretty familiar.Benjamin didn't believe that there could be someone so similar to another person in this world.

“Inside this briefcase are photos and personal information of the person I want you to investigate. All you need to do is help me collect evidence of his crimes. In return, I will not pursue your involvement with the criminal underworld and will not bother you again.”Andrea opened the briefcase as she spoke, showing Benjamin the documents inside. On top of the papers was a portrait photo of a young man, probably around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.However, as soon as Benjamin saw the information about this person, his face revealed a hint of astonishment, and he looked at Andrea.“You called me here just to investigate this person? Is there something wrong with your head? I’m just an ordinary citizen, not a private detective, and certainly not an investigator like you.”After reading the information about the young man, Benjamin pushed the file back toward Andrea.However, even though Benjamin scolded her, Andrea maintained a severe demeanor, looking at him as she spoke.“If
Seeing Tiger’s demeanor at this moment, many people in the bar were genuinely frightened. It should be noted that Tiger was not just the wealthiest owner in New Harbor City but also the underworld boss who controlled more than half of the underground forces.However, before Benjamin, Tiger lowered his status, acting no different than a servant to him. Would this not cause a great stir in the underworld if it were to be exposed?Although no one could answer this accurately, everyone presents was greatly shocked.Nevertheless, Tiger didn’t care about their stares, and Benjamin didn’t think much about it either. He followed Tiger to an exceptionally luxurious lounge on the bar’s top floor.This lounge was extraordinary, typically reserved for Tiger alone or when he entertained a few high-profile guests. Otherwise, this room would not be opened.But now, not only was the VIP room’s door opened, but the bar’s staff also cleaned it meticulously, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.Afte
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
