“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
"Tsk tsk, time can easily wear down one's spirit. Even holding a gun isn't steady. Do you think you can threaten me?"At this moment, Panther's figure suddenly approached Tiger, displaying an extremely defiant posture as if he wasn't afraid of Tiger shooting him.Seeing this, Tiger's expression couldn't help but tighten. However, as Panther pointed out, Tiger didn't dare to shoot. It wasn't because he feared causing a fatality but because there wasn't a single bullet in his gun.If he pulled the trigger, Tiger couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't enrage Panther to shoot him on the spot.After all, Tiger had heard the earlier commotion outside and knew that Panther's gun still had bullets. Moreover, seeing Panther's current demeanor, Tiger felt uneasy, fearing that Panther might take a risk and shoot him.As for Benjamin, Tiger didn't have high expectations either. Although Tiger knew Benjamin was powerful, he didn't think Benjamin could outrun a bullet and save him in time.So, as Pant
"Are you... are you alright?"Sitting in the temporary detention room of the city police station, Olivia's eyes were filled with a hint of worry as she looked at Benjamin.However, Benjamin's expression seemed to be incredibly calm. He gently patted Olivia's hand and reassured her."I'll be fine. You don't need to worry!"Seeing his confident demeanor as if nothing had happened, Olivia couldn't help but feel uneasy. After all, she had just received news that Benjamin had killed a man at a bar. This was no small matter. If investigated, Benjamin could end up in jail.So, at this moment, Olivia's expression turned slightly angry as she stared at him."What do you mean you'll be fine? Do you know how scared I was just now? I'm apprehensive about you!"As she spoke, a faint blush appeared in Olivia's eyes, even slightly teary, as if she were about to cry. Caught off guard, Benjamin hurriedly said."I'm not lying to you. That man was a criminal, and he had a weapon. Although I killed him,
As the sunlight streamed in, a sleeping Benjamin jolted awake. His eyes, filled with panic, quickly turned to look beside him.But Isabella was nowhere to be found, leaving the spot beside him empty. Rubbing his eyes and lightly slapping his face, Benjamin couldn't be sure if the previous night's events were actual or just a dream. However, as he lay in Isabella's bed, it seemed more likely that it had happened.Still, Benjamin couldn't shake a strange feeling in his heart. The Isabella he had encountered last night was almost unrecognizable. Even if she was drunk, could she have been so bold?What on earth is going on?The more Benjamin thought about it, the more suspicious he became. However, he only dwelled on it briefly and quickly gathered his belongings, hastily leaving Isabella's room."Sorry you haven't been waiting too long for me?"After leaving the Taylor residence, Benjamin hurried to meet Olivia. At this point, it was past eight o'clock, making him more than an hour late.
“Kid, what brings you here today?”Seeing that it was Benjamin, Ancel’s attitude was much better than it had been with Caroline.“Captain, isn’t it because I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I came to visit you?”Benjamin stepped into the small yard as he spoke, holding a bottle of banana wine and a pig’s trotter.Seeing Benjamin place the banana wine and pig’s trotter on the table, Ancel’s expression couldn’t help but reveal a hint of caution.“Hey, kid, you didn’t come to see me today because you have something to ask me, did you? Otherwise, you couldn’t be so kind as to bring me banana wine and a pig’s trotter.”Don’t be aware of his seemingly lazy appearance and his relevance to discussing work matters. In reality, Ancel was extraordinarily discreet and the strongest among the captains of the Dragon Guardians teams.“Ha ha, Captain, what are you talking about? I’m not that bad. I just happened to pass by and saw some grilled pig’s trotters being sold. Knowing you like this dis
After over ten minutes, Benjamin finally arrived at the hotel Tiger had mentioned. He saw Bernie, with his bald head, standing outside the entrance.As soon as Bernie spotted Benjamin getting out of his car, he rushed over with a flattering smile, bowing slightly and whispering into Benjamin's ear: "Boss, I've been keeping an eye on those scumbags, and they're enjoying themselves inside the hotel. I didn't dare get too close since they have bodyguards, but I found out they're gathering on the third floor, in the presidential suite."Hearing this, Benjamin nodded approvingly: "Good, tell Tiger I'll treat him to drinks next time!""Yes, I'll let Mr. Tiger know!" Bernie's grin widened, but Benjamin noticed he remained in place, unwilling to leave. He glanced over at him, puzzled."What's wrong? Why aren't you leaving?"Embarrassed, Bernie scratched his bald head: "Boss, Mr. Tiger said you could directly give me orders. And I also want to teach those scumbags a lesson. So..."In addition
Having been hit and hearing Benjamin’s insults, both bodyguards’ faces darkened. But without orders from Joshua, they could only glare at Benjamin.On the other hand, Benjamin didn’t care about their murderous looks. He suddenly let out a soft exclamation, then continued speaking.“Tell me, how much is a human life worth?”A mocking smile appeared on Joshua’s tense face when Benjamin spoke these words. He then made a slight gesture to the two bodyguards beside him.“One hundred million, or two hundred million? If you think it’s reasonable, I can pay you.”At that moment, the other bodyguard suddenly held up a bank card before Benjamin.“Oh, so the secretary’s son’s life is so cheap. Bernie, do your bosses have enough money? If your boss sends me one hundred million, I’ll deal with this brat now.”The last few words were purposely spoken to Bernie. Caught off guard, Bernie struggled to react. Meanwhile, Joshua’s face darkened, and his eyes filled with anger as he stared at Benjamin.“W
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
