Seeing Tiger's gestures and words, Benjamin showed no particular reaction. He had previously helped Tiger merely out of convenience, and there was no sentimental attachment between them. On the contrary, Tiger owed him a favor.However, since the man had humbled himself and apologized, Benjamin found it difficult to disregard his dignity. Furthermore, Noam was still in their hands. Benjamin could only pretend nothing happened and slowly followed behind Tiger, entering the mansion.After a while, guided by Tiger through numerous twists and turns, Benjamin finally arrived at a large hall on the mansion's second floor. This spacious hall spanned several hundred square meters, and many guards stood around its perimeter, each exuding a mighty aura. They were much stronger than the guards outside.What caught Benjamin's attention, though, were a young man and woman standing with a middle-aged man seated at the center of the grand hall. Beside them sat a slightly disgruntled-looking young
A few days later, in the bustling airport, Benjamin's footsteps slowed, and he glanced at Olivia with a somewhat awkward expression."Olivia, I'm truly sorry for the trouble. I appreciate you taking care of my sister while I'm not here. When I return, I'll treat you to dinner as a thank you!"Looking at Benjamin's backpack and then at Andrea's figure standing not far away, Olivia couldn't help but feel reluctant to part with them. Moreover, she always thought that they seemed to be hiding a secret from her. However, Olivia never thought that Benjamin's trip to the capital with Andrea wasn't just about resolving personal matters; he also intended to pretend to be her boyfriend to meet her father's family.Benjamin didn't dare to mention this in front of Olivia, and Olivia herself never expected Andrea to make such a request to Benjamin.Therefore, after hearing Benjamin's instructions, Olivia looked at him with tearful eyes and said,"Don't worry about it, and I'll take good care
Although her face was stinging from the slap, the flight attendant had no choice but to force a smile and speak."I sincerely apologize, but we don't have parachutes on the plane. Even if you talk to the chief flight attendant, she will tell you the same thing!"In truth, Bridget was quite terrified at this moment. However, due to her responsibilities, she had to stand in the cabin and explain the situation to the passengers.But the man had lost almost all reason by now and didn't bother to listen to her explanation. He raised his hand again, intending to deliver another resounding slap.However, his arm only made it halfway before suddenly stopping. A deep voice rang in his ear."I think that's enough! If you continue to make a scene here, I can help you escape."At this moment, the burly man couldn't help but look up and see a young man staring at him coldly. A chill enveloped his entire body for some reason, making him shiver uncontrollably.But the man was indeed quite aud
"I'm an air traffic control officer, call sign... go ahead!""Reporting, aircraft call sign... experiencing an emergency. We need to find a place for an emergency landing. Requesting assistance from the center to ensure a safe landing.""Air traffic control center has received the message instructing the flight crew to switch to safe flight mode. We will scan and provide information about the nearest airport for you.""Roger, the flight crew has received the signal. We will do our best to control the situation!"Benjamin performed every operation smoothly, not showing any signs of panic.Initially, Hubert wanted to challenge Benjamin, but now he stared at him in amazement, unable to hide his surprise.After a while, another signal was transmitted. The voice of the air traffic controller became more urgent."The nearest airport is less than ten kilometers away. We have transmitted the signal for permission to land. Can you continue with the landing?""We have received the signa
Andrea could also sense the increasingly heavy smell of toxic smoke. Therefore, after hearing the announcement, she quickly released the plump middle-aged man. She then went to her seat, intending to grab her protective gear.However, the plump man, who she had just restrained, suddenly pulled a sharp metal object from his pants and charged at Andrea, shouting furiously."I'll risk my life against you!"The incident happened so suddenly that Andrea didn't expect the plump man to attack at this moment. Moreover, the distance between them was very close, and she had no way to react in time."Ah…"All passengers present couldn't help but scream in horror, especially the flight attendant standing nearby, who looked terrified.Bam!Suddenly, the plump middle-aged man's body fell to the ground less than half a meter from Andrea. At this point, everyone was astonished and bewildered. Nobody knew how this aggressive man had just "collapsed" like that.Moreover, the plump middle-aged m
1:30 PM, Capital City.The plane safely landed at the airport, and Benjamin and Andrea began to leave the terminal. However, Benjamin didn't accompany Andrea to her home. Instead, he hailed a taxi and headed towards the city's outskirts."Driver, stop here, please!"Following the address Griselda had previously given him, Benjamin quickly instructed the taxi driver to stop outside town, more than 20 kilometers from the city center. He then slowly exited the taxi and headed towards a nearby park.Because he had coincidentally met an acquaintance while passing by the park earlier, so he wanted to visit them. However, he had only walked a few dozen meters when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.Two people approached Benjamin, dressed very discreetly, wearing hats and face masks. For a moment, Benjamin couldn't distinguish who they were. However, it seemed that they were heading towards him. So, he stopped and observed the two individuals."Hello, sir. We are members of Special Task Force
"Useless, all of you are utterly useless. You can't even handle a simple task like this, why do I even bother keeping you around?!" Crash! Sitting in an antique-styled study, a middle-aged man around forty years old was visibly furious. He forcefully smashed the teacup in his hand onto the floor, causing shards to scatter everywhere. Kneeling before the middle-aged man were a man and a woman. Though several shards struck them, even cutting a few gashes into their skin and causing fresh blood to drip, they didn't dare speak up. They could only lower their heads, not letting out a single whimper. Moreover, their eyes were filled with fear. "What, have all of you gone mute now? You're all suddenly silent?" The middle-aged man, still enraged, abruptly kicked one of the subordinates kneeling before him. Bang! The kick was powerful, causing the man's body to fly and crash into the wall. "Cough, cough..." Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, the man wasn't severely injured, but
Contrary to their expectations, Grandpa Jerry didn't seem overly distant or difficult to approach. Instead, as soon as he saw his granddaughter, a smile appeared on his somewhat aged face: "Caroline, when did you come back? Why didn't you call so I could pick you up!" Caroline seemed a bit flustered by her grandfather's inquiry, shaking her head. Then she turned to Benjamin and Ancel and began introducing them: "Grandpa, these two are my friends. This is Ancel; don't let his mature appearance fool you – he's only a few years older than me. And this is Benjamin, my former colleague." As she introduced them, Caroline gestured towards Benjamin and Ancel as she spoke to her grandfather. Hearing his granddaughter's introduction, Grandpa Jerry's face showed a hint of light. He then observed Benjamin and Ancel, who were standing in front of him. Suddenly, he turned to his granddaughter and uttered a sentence that left everyone present dumbfounded. "Caroline, which one of these two lads is
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
