“Ava? Are you aware of what you're talking about?” Smith asked in a cold tone. His handsome face was filled with anger and unwillingness. He was not willing to believe that Ava would stoop so low to not only convert the ancient items in his possession but also dare to send someone to steal it from his possession. Perhaps he would have been shocked and heartbroken in the past, he felt indifferent and emotionless after finding out that she was responsible for the disappearance of those two ancient items but he wasn't. Coupled with the life experience he had in the past and the lessons he'd obtained from the cultivation book, he wasn't really surprised. The heart of man is dark and hard to predict. Who could have believed that she could do such a thing to him? Although she was a member of Rodriguez, she could be considered as his friend due to the time they spent in the past but it seemed she took it for granted. Perhaps he made the right decision by cutting every tie that he had w
Mr. Han, who was having a good time watching an interesting movie, was interrupted by the sound of his phone.He picked the phone up with an annoyed look on his face. His experience turned glum and pale when he saw who was calling him. It was Damon's grandfather. His hand trembled as he held the phone, contemplating whether to pick the call or not. He knew Damon wasn't going to let the matter die down easily. He didn't know what he could do anymore. He was rendered helpless and speechless because he knew it was regarding the incident that happened at the event of the Great College's quiz competition. He took a deep breath and swiped the button on his phone then his phone close to his ears. “Were you planning to ignore my call, Little Han?” An arrogant and sonorous voice sounded out from the other side of the phone and his heart sank. “No, Sir. I dare not…” his voice trembled in fear. “You don't need to be like that. Explain everything that happened there to me in detail,” the m
Damon walked out from the midst of his father and grandfather then approached Smith with a proud smile on his face. “You won the first position. So what? Aren't you here in my mansion under my authority?” Damon said proudly as he glared at Smith, who didn't pay attention to him. He was taking pleasure in Smith's misfortune. Naturally, he was angry when he saw how Smith ignored him as though he never existed. Smith was studying the two men who were standing before him. They stared at him with a cold gaze that was filled with terrifying killing intent. It seemed as though they planned to kill him. However, Smith remained cold and unfazed. “Good day, Sir,” the member of the Black Titan clan didn't date dally and greeted them courteously as they couldn't afford to afford such a powerful family. Even if their leader of the Black Titan ninja clan was present, he would have to bow slightly and greet them with respect. Seeing how Smith had ignored him, his heart burned with rage and he
Although he didn't like the way he used his father to get himself out of the disadvantageous situation he was in earlier, he knew he had no choice. He wanted to pave the way and rely on himself to become someone powerful and wealthy so he wouldn't have to depend on his father to help himself out of a bad situation. He knew he still had a long way to go. What if the Richard family was superior to his family? His limbs would have been cut off. “Make whatever call you want to make now since you're going to be a cripple very soon,” a cold smile appeared on Damon's face as he stared at Smith intensely. It was as though he could see Smith wailing in pain after seeing Smith's limb being cut off by his father's accomplices.The law wouldn't be able to hold his family even if Smith reported the issues to higher authority. Never in his mind did it occur to him that his family was nothing compared to Smith's family. And Smith's father was the one who was publicly known as the emperor in the
Smith stared at the old man who was standing before him fearfully because of how strange and mysterious the man was. He found it impossible and unbelievable for an old man who had left behind in the mansion to suddenly catch up with him and even double crossed him. Although the breeze that blew past him was strange and mysterious, he felt it had nothing to do with the old man before him. He wasn't in his right state of mind to think about how the old man suddenly appeared before him at such an insane speed. With a single glance, he could tell that the old man, elder Zhu, came with an ill intention. Could it be because he'd offended the Richard family? According to the statement elder Zhu made earlier, he claimed that the Richard family were his helper. Smith suppressed the anxiety he felt earlier and spoke up with a calm look on his face. “What do you want, Elder Zhu? I believe I no longer have any business with the Richard family, right?”The man, who had been staring at him fo
“So you mean that the information of me being in Italy must have reached my father?” He asked in a solemn tone.Although he didn't like the way his father treated him because of what happened at the company two months ago, he still regarded him as his father.He wouldn't have been alive if his father's accomplices didn't come at the right time and rescued him from those assassins who were sent by someone. He had a feeling that the Rodriquez family were responsible for him being assassinated. Micheal hesitated for a while before speaking up. “Yes, Young Master. In fact, it's only a matter of an hour before the emperor sends his men to take me away since I'd lied to them on your behalf.”“Well, I have no regret by staying on your side,” he said resolutely. Smith couldn't help but feel warmth in his heart when he recalled what Micheal said. Michael was ready to leave his life for him so he could completely forgive him for attempting to make a move on his ex-wife by using his identity
A dark smile crept on Smith's face upon reading the content of the letter. His smile grew wider as he went through the countless emails and invitations that they'd sent to him because he refused to reply to him. Despite that, they were still persistent. If only they knew that the person they looked up to was no other than the person they once looked down upon. “I was looking for an excuse to go to their Grand mansion. I can't believe they'll give me such a rare opportunity.” He thought and a rare coldness flickered at the depth of his eyes. Although it was nothing for him to barge into the Rodriquez family's Grand Mansion, it wouldn't be considered grand.Using the wedding event to vent his anger was indeed a good place. Never in their wildest dreams would they imagine or think that the number one honored guest was the same thing they never took seriously in their family in the past. Not only would all the family members of the Rodriquez family be present in the event but other to
One must say that the man was indeed a good host who was able to catch the attention of its audience. Not only did he stop the crowd from murmuring among themselves with his speech but he also made them pay raft attention to him. “I must say today's auction show will be different and special compared to the other one we've been doing,” Mr. Peter said after clearing his throat. “Why would today's auction be different?”“Isn't it different from the one we've been doing?”“That's right. I don't see any reason why they've to raise our hopes for something that might not be worth it.”“Today's auction show should be better. If not, I might consider not coming here anymore.”Mr. Peter sighed and shook his head gently as he listened to the comments of the audience.He cleared his throat and spoke into the mic to get their attention. “Today's auction show is indeed going to be different and special because the last three items that we're putting on for an auction is something you can't seek
