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
However, after some thought, he managed to suppress his anger, carefully looking at the young man standing in front of him and said: "Please, tell the old man inside that I am Benjamin Arnold from New Harbor. I am certain he will let me in to see him.""You're really annoying, don't you hear what I'm saying? My master is very busy, and it doesn't matter if you're Benjamin or Arnold. I already told you, if you don't have an appointment, come back another day. There are many patients here who need to see the doctor and get their prescriptions. I don't have time to pass along messages for you."After saying this, the young man seemed quite annoyed, repeatedly gesturing for Benjamin to leave. If it weren't for knowing this was Old Master Wade's pharmacy and that he was a highly respected figure in traditional medicine, Benjamin would have been tempted to slap the young man in front of him."Fine, I'll come back another day!"Seeing Benjamin turn to leave, the young man couldn't help but g
"Miracle doctor, please save our child!" Outside the drugstore door, a man and a woman suddenly appeared, clutching their young boy, and hurriedly rushed towards the older man Wade, crying out in desperation. For a moment, the eyes of everyone present turned towards the three of them. Seeing this scene, Titus couldn't help but turn pale.At the same time, Titus felt angry, intending to push this trio out: "What are you trying to do? Do you know who this is? My master doesn't just heal anyone who asks. Leave quickly and don't disturb my master's rest." He said, threatening to use force to evict the family. However, old man Wade held out his hand to stop him.Then, with a gentle voice, he looked at the three kneeling on the floor: "Alright, let them stand up." Hearing this, Titus thought older man Wade agreed with his actions. His face lightened up with satisfaction: "Did you hear that? Stand up quickly and stop bothering my master."On hearing this, the couple's faces turned pale ins
However, before Benjamin had time to ponder further, the older man suddenly removed a wooden box from the drawer beside his seat.Inside the box was an item.And the moment this item was revealed, a familiar surge of energy made the tattoo on Benjamin's left chest resonate with intense vitality: "This...this...”.Upon seeing Benjamin's reaction, the older man, Wade's opaque eyes, suddenly lit up.Simultaneously, his voice reverberated slowly: "Over thirty years ago, I was much younger, not as accomplished as I am today.At that time, I saved a man.His name was Raymond Arnold.” Upon saying this, the old man's voice suddenly halted, his eyes filled with profound meaning as he looked at Benjamin. And at this moment, hearing the more senior man mention the name Raymond Arnold, Benjamin couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.Because the name sounded exceedingly familiar, as if Benjamin had heard it somewhere before, after a while, Benjamin finally remembered.Raymond Arnold, wasn't t
The sudden and bizarre event brought about a sense of unease in Benjamin, making him quickly take a defensive stance, warily watching his surroundings.However, before Benjamin could take action, the voice echoed again: "My son, don't be afraid! I am but a fragment of a memory preserved within this jade pendant.This is a treasure passed down in our family for thousands of years.This time, thanks to you activating the full potential of the pendant, I have been able to manifest here again.” Hearing the voice explain, Benjamin was at a loss for words.But he remained on high alert.After all, having an unidentifiable voice suddenly appear in one's head is unsettling, regardless of who you are. And it was as if the voice understood Benjamin's thoughts.So, it spoke again: "Son, I know what worries you.However, I only have a little time left and can only answer some of your questions.But this legacy within the pendant, if you've managed to unlock it yourself...Then, I have nothing to
However, they had yet to respond to Benjamin's query.Contrarily, the female assassin Benjamin had just counterattacked stood to one side.At this moment, she subtly moved half a step closer to Benjamin.Then, she used an incredibly focused gaze toward Benjamin and spoke: "We're only here to retrieve an item. If you hand it over, we will leave immediately." Upon hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but frown.However, after some thought, Benjamin deduced what they were after.The thing is, he wanted to avoid handing it over.Moreover, even if he wanted to give it now, he couldn't. Therefore, after hearing the female assassin's request, Benjamin feigned momentary contemplation.Then, he shook his head in response."Can't do it. This item is essential to me.If you want to take it, let's see how capable you are." As soon as Benjamin said this, all the assassins wore angry expressions.She could hardly contain herself, especially the female assassin who had just advised him, and huffed o
Benjamin couldn't hold back as Curtis finished speaking and spat saliva directly at his face. Caught off guard momentarily, Curtis was hit by Benjamin's spit.However, Curtis only slightly furrowed his brow.Then, he calmly wiped the spit off his face."Benjamin, even though your power is much greater than mine,But now you're restrained and don't have any energy left.If I wanted to deal with you, could you still sit here comfortably?" While speaking, Curtis kept his gaze on Benjamin, but deep within his eyes, there was a hint of wariness.However, seeing Benjamin's current state, besides bravado, he couldn't threaten him in any way. At this point, Curtis lowered his voice, intending to continue advising Benjamin: "Benjamin, you should understand your current situation.The quicker you hand over the item, the more I can plead with the organization to forgive you.Even if you agree to join the organization, you can become a full member like me.You..." Just over halfway through Curtis
Initially, the mysterious woman had a touch of hesitation in her heart, but upon hearing Curtis's warning, her eyes became even more resolute, stepping closer to Benjamin: "Leader…." Curtis once again wanted to caution her.However, the mysterious woman, somewhat annoyed, turned her head and barked loudly: "Quiet!"Hearing this shout, although he wanted to continue advising her, Curtis could only begrudgingly stay silent, not daring to say another word. Observing the entire exchange between the two, a slight smirk appeared on the corner of Benjamin's lips.However, Benjamin's move was discreet and wasn't noticed by the two before him. Walking to a distance just over half a step away from Benjamin.The mysterious woman then halted, her eyes filled with wariness as
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
