“OK, let’s go and destroy this evil Gluttony Hell!” said Edward. Just as Edward, Regina, Pugno and his men from Blood Sword Sect walked only for a few minutes, they were stopped by a bunch of strong men in black, who marched like columns of mechanical men, their eyes straight ahead, their legs and arms swinging almost in unison, like those marionettes under the control of a single pair of invisible hands. It looked like they were trained rigorously. “Who are you?” shouted Edward. “Who are we?” sneered one of the men with a crew cut in the lead of the people, who was stocky---not heavy but well-muscled, with strong arms and thighs. His eyes, short and narrow like small cracks in a huge wall, glinted with slyness. He made no effort to be gentle, elbowing his men as he forced his way to Edward. The stocky man suddenly untied his coat and showed the T-shirt inside it which read ‘I’m an evil guy’. Pointing at his T-shirt, he added with another sneer, “Look at this! You are unlucky to
As night descended, the winds began to stir, fueling the twin-headed fire dragon flames, making them burn even more intensely. They blazed brilliantly, as if they intended to incinerate the darkness in an instant. But the most crucial aim was to annihilate their enigmatic adversary, the one they believed had met his match in these mystical, fiery behemoths. Regina and Pugno were convinced that the dual-headed dragon, born from the transformation of their twin swords, held the power to vanquish their foe. However, Edward knew that their opponent's combat capabilities far surpassed their own. Their audacious move seemed like a proverbial case of bringing a knife to a gunfight. So,Edward understood the necessity of intervening when needed. The muscular figure, bare-chested and built like a tank, proved to be far from a pushover. He moved with lightning-like speed, nimbly weaving through the fire and seemingly unaffected by the intense flames, which reached temperatures soaring into the
Since Edward had previously taken the pill of Roaring Thunder, which could help him cultivate in the lightning. Seeing that his blue lightning would soon hit Edward, Promete smiled. It was true that most people would be dead if they were attacked by powerful lighting. However, he did not know that Edward was immune to lightning attack now. On the contrary, Edward could even absorb the last bit of power from any lightning. Instantly, the lightning wound itself around the body of Edward. “Ha-ha, go to hell,” shouted Promete, who thought he was an unparalleled genius. “You’re getting too above yourself!” Edward smiled, who started to play with the lightning as if he was a magician. Edward toyed with the crackling lightning ensnaring him, as though it were a cherished bauble in his grasp. Promete, wide-eyed and dumbfounded, couldn't fathom how his electrifying assault had utterly failed against Edward. "How on earth are you able to do that?" Promete's jaw threatened to kiss the grou
It was at the Fanta hospital in Orinda, California.“Good. I’ll arrange the surgery for your mother next Wednesday,” said the doctor, kindly nodding to a handsome boy.Edward’s heart leaped with joy. He had been waiting for this moment for ages.“Finally,” shouted the young boy, feeling like a prisoner who had just been granted parole. The weight bearing down on him for so long fell off him eventually.At the time, Edward’s emotions overwhelmed him.He dashed out of the doctor’s office like a flying arrow. Crouching alone in the corner of the hallway, he wept like a baby.As passers-by went past him, he did not even look up, not giving a damn to those odd looks on their faces.Two months before, he had been in the same office.“Your adoptive mother has been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, Edward Addison. She needs a liver transplant. You’ll have to pay 100, 000 bucks for surgery or she can only live for three months.”The same doctor’s indifferent words had crushed him, sending him sp
Now, Edward found another reason to work harder than before.He vowed to pull out all the stops and go the extra mile. He told himself that he needed to make more moolah, not just for his mother's sake, but also for his lady love Rebecca.He yearned to present her with a token of his affection, maybe a dazzling diamond ring, a lavish designer bag, or something along those lines. It was his way of professing his undying love for her.Before long, fate smiled upon Edward.With the help of the mysterious middle-aged widow, he had a shot at securing a big contract - but only if he could knock it out of the park in his presentation."Work hard, Edward, and you'll be promoted. Besides, If you seal the deal, we might just make you a partner with a 1% stake in the company.”The boss’s words echoed in his mind like a prophecy.It was the golden ticket he'd been waiting for and a chance that he had to jump at. If he could become the partner of the company, he knew he would soon pay back the mon
His boss gave him a hard kick, freeing himself from Edward’s grip on his leg. Edward, sprawling out on the frigid ground painfully, watched his boss strut away desperately. Suddenly, he felt as if he were plummeting into a deep abyss, consumed by utter darkness with no way out. He longed for his boss to return since he was the only beacon of light to lift him out of this inferno, but he didn’t show up. Suddenly, a glimmer caught his eyes. It was that cursed video of the naked boy gyrating before a pack of old, ugly women. “Damn it! It was not me,” whispered Edward, his mind going blank. At the time, he didn’t know what to do. All he wanted now was to seek solace from his girlfriend. Without any delay, he whipped out his trusty phone and decided to call his girlfriend. But to his horror, he discovered the video had already gone viral on the internet. “How could this be happening?” Edward murmured in a tremulous tone, “I've got to make things right with Rebecca, no matter what.”
Moments later, Edward found himself thrown into a dank, dingy cell that reeked of desperation."Am I really behind bars?" he muttered to himself. "No way, I've got to find a way out of this mess."Turning to the little mustached policeman, Edward pleaded, forcing a faint smile on his face, "May I know your name, sir? Please let me go. I didn't do anything wrong.”“Call me Bill,” sneered the policeman, “you don’t know the rule, do you?”“No, what’s the rule?” asked Edward, his brow furrowed in confusion.“You know I’m Bill,” said the policeman, a sly grin spreading across his face, “I’ve got a lot of bills to pay. I hope you can do me a favor with my bills.”Edward's heart sank as he realized he was dealing with a crooked cop who was trying to shake him down for money.“Well, dear Bill,” Edward replied, forcing a faint smile on his face, “I'd be happy to help you out. But could you let me in on how much of a dent this will make in my wallet?”“Sharp thinking,” said Bill, flashing a yel
‘If I keep up this good work, I'll be rolling in it before long,’ Edward thought happily.As he was lost in his reverie, the two corrupt cops returned to check him, their jaws dropping at the immaculate floor.“Well, well, well, looks like you’ve done me a solid here,” the mustached cop remarked,“But that doesn’t mean you're off the hook for my bills. What do you say? Ready to fork over that five grand?” “Can I get a discount for cleaning up this place for you?” Edward attempted to negotiate, but immediately realized that he made a big mistake—he should have never bargained with others. As a promising trader, haggling was a bad habit.“Not a chance, kiddo,” the sneering cop retorted, “You know the drill - pay up, and you can waltz out of here scot-free.”“I was only kidding,” Edward stammered, pretending to be confident, “Five grand, huh? No problem! Can I just swipe my card here?” “Absolutely,” the mustached cop replied, smoothly pulling out the card reader. It was evident that

Naturally, Regina closed her eyes, decided to let Edward do anything to her. Edward leaned close enough until he could even hear the beatings of her heart. Glancing at her ample part of her generous bosom, Edward felt blood started to rush both to his heart and the most private part of his body under the equator, just like a cannon erecting up to the sky, ready to send bombs at any moment. Yet, Edward knew he had to contain his excitement as he had promised his girlfriend that he would restrain himself and wouldn’t do anything that would harm their relationship. Thus, though drooling over the beauty of Regina, Edward just swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then calmed himself down. “Well, open your eyes, Regina,” Edward said with an awkward smile, ‘Actually, I’ve got a girlfriend and I love her very much. I won’t do anything that would harm my relationship with her. Besides, you know, I was saving you not because I wanted to get something from you. I’ve told you, you’re a free will
Instantly, there was another huge explosion when celestial ice arrows met those fiery swords halfway. Edward, handsome and unstrained, exuding an aura of confidence, became more overbearing with every step toward Regina. “Hey, what do you think of my counterattack?” sneered Edward. “What kind of other moves do you have? Show me more!” Hearing that, Regina was almost hitting the roof. Before she could launch another round of attacks, Edward swiftly maneuvered behind her and lightly flicked her head, causing her coiffed hair to quickly come undone. Now, with her unbound tresses streaming over her shoulders, she was indeed an unparalleled beauty. “What are you doing?” seethed Regina, glaring at Edward. “You’re acting like a lascivious bastard. Apparently, you’re courting your own death.” Yet, Edward, a vibrant youth with unparalleled manliness, immediately flirted, “I like to fight with a beautiful girl. I have to say if you’re not my foe, I probably will fall in love with you. I
Edward reached out his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a chill ran down his spine as the Celestial Gem soared right into his waiting chest. Yet, the extraordinary unfolded before his very eyes. Edward felt an overwhelming surge of power coursing through his veins, a sensation like no other. In an instant, his entire body turned translucent, akin to the purest glass. Edward experienced an unprecedented blessing that could only be attributed to the Celestial Gem. Was this the fabled "light at the end of the tunnel" that he'd heard whispers of? His heart raced as he involuntarily assumed a lotus position, eyes shut tight. Darkness was only thing he could see in his shut eyes, but the energy emanating from the pearl illuminated the abyss inside his eyes, bathing everything in a radiant glow. "Could this be what they mean by 'seeing the light'?" Edward mused silently. "It's simply marvelous." Before long, a comforting warmth enveloped his entire being, like snuggling under a cozy win
"Ah..." Caelum's body plummeted rapidly, and he felt his demise was all but certain this time. The cliff was unbelievably high, a mind-boggling abyss that seemed to stretch at least five kilometers deep. He closed his eyes, surrendering to the howling winds swirling past him. The gusts stung his face, and although the wind kissed his cheeks, it cut deeper than a knife into his heart. Suddenly, Edward's voice echoed in his ears. "Rest assured, I won't let you go down that easily. Since you killed Laura with no remorse, I'll torment you in every conceivable way, time and time again." Edward's voice was as cold as ice. It looked like Caelum was getting his just desserts. Caelum opened his eyes to find Edward hurtling down the cliff right alongside him. It offered some small comfort – if he were to meet his end, at least he'd have some company. "You're a devil, Edward. If you'd choose to end your life this way, why torment me like this?" Caelum exclaimed in fury. "Me?" Edward sneer
‘Roaring Thunder?” Edward exclaimed, wondering what he could do with it. His mind was read by his system instantly, which sent him a new text message. [Roaring thunder, a kind of pill that can help you cultivate in the lightning. Most people will be dead if they are hit by lighting. Yet, if you take this pill’ Roaring Thunder,’ it will make you immune to lightning and thunderous attack. On the contrary, you will be tempered by thunder and lightning of several ten thousand volts.] ‘Wow, that’s amazing,’ exclaimed Edward again, ‘I’ve never expected there’s such a pill in this world. I have to say there are quite a few precious pills here in this online store. It looks like I can shop often here. Cicci will be quite happy if I do.’ Edward was on cloud nine now. Without any further hesitation, Edward instantly consumed five thousand luxury points to get ‘Roaring Thunder’ which went into his item inventory immediately. ‘Well, I’d better take it now just in case,’ Edward thought, ‘I ha

It looked like that the trading strategy that Cicci had offered to him was absolutely right.In the whirlwind world of high-stakes trading, where fortunes could be made or shattered in the blink of an eye.In the current market, the gold instrument had erupted like a volcano.

He felt as though truckloads of cash were pouring into his account.Just as he was basking in his newfound wealth, Cicci's face beamed on his scree
