“A wandering Soul?” asked Yvonne in surprise.“Yes,” Edward replied, his voice dripping with a hint of mystery, “but he was no ordinary hobo. He was a wandering poet indeed, a soul untamed by the chains of convention. If my memory serves me right, he likely roamed the lands of ancient China during the illustrious Tang Dynasty. At that time, he was nobody, but these days, he has garnered some recognition in China as well as the Western world.”“What was his name then?” asked Yvonne, eager to know more.“Han Shan, or Cold Hill, my dear,” Edward uttered, his words dancing like whispers in the wind, “Have you heard of the name before?”“Cold Hill? What a poetic name!” exclaimed Yvonne, and then shook her head, “but unfortunately, I have never heard of it before. Please forgive my ignorance!”As their conversation meandered, Jennifer suddenly caught sight of Edward’s vehicle from the rearview mirror.“By the spirits! They draw nearer,” Jennifer said loudly, her heart skipping a beat.“Take
Mr. Trump, standing aside, was taken aback by Edward’s decision.Regret began to gnaw at him, and he muttered to Yvonne,“Had I known, I should have personally sat beside our esteemed guest around, taking a spin with him in the car.”He locked eyes with Yvonne, his voice tinged with resentment,“No matter what, you owe me a meal now, Yvonne!”“Okay, Mr. Trump, I’ll treat you to dinner this evening,” Yvonne replied, her voice laced with embarrassment. But she knew she had no reason to turn him down.What was happening between the three sent Jennifer into a fit of rage. Her face turned livid with indignation, and her teeth ground against each other like a mill.She stomped on her boyfriend’s foot heavily with one of her sky-high heels. Instantly, a loud yelp was echoing in the sky.“Ouch! Why’d you trample me like that?” Brian cried madly.You’re a complete waste of space. I want to know how you are going to get me home now.”“W-We can take the bus, darling!” said Brian with an awkward
After exchanging words with Kalina, Edward found himself even more drained. His heavy eyelids engaged in a fierce battle until they surrendered and he succumbed to a blissful slumber on his soft, plush bed.Within the realm of dreams, something peculiar unfolded. His Super Trading System commenced a discourse with him.[The time for enlightenment has arrived. I come to train you again, Edward.]‘But I'm in the realm of dreams, right?" Edward asked, perplexed. ‘How can you make me learn in the dream?”[Well, you are entangled in the embrace of sleep indeed. But you know, ten thousand days are too long, so we have to seize the hour. That’s why I’ve decided to impart upon you further knowledge in the book Primer for IB Traders while you indulge in nocturnal battery-charging respite.This will surely make you grow faster as a trader.By the way, I eavesdropped on your conservation with that lady called Yvonne. The tale you spun about Han Shan or Cold Hill apparently captivates me a lot. T
“We are not fixated on the specific numerical values of each transaction anymore,” Cicci continued, “In other words, we are not focused on the rollercoaster ride of price itself. Instead, we direct our attention to the folks behind those price fluctuations because the crux of price fluctuation lies in the decisions made by the buyers and the sellers.” “You’ve hit the nail on the head, Cicci. Your words resonate deeply within me, but how do we plumb the depths and harness the very essence I’ve stumbled upon for my future trading?” “Ha! You’re as keen as mustard, Edward. I dare say, you’re a hard-working student. Actually, no need to rush into uncharted territory at the moment. Allow me to shed light on yet another crucial facet of price. Look at those brightest lights in the distant buildings,” suggested Cicci, gesturing with her enchanted wand. “I see them, but it’s as if my vision is clouded, and I can’t discern anything beyond the luminosity,” Edward replied. “Well then, let me t
“Wow, such a wonderful fundamental analysis,” Edward exclaimed. “It seems to provide guidance for the upcoming trades I am about to engage in. Without a doubt, I must participate in the trade involving the Nikkei 225 index.”[No problem, Edward. I’ll let you take two trades this time. One is a teeny-tiny stop-loss trade on USDJPY, and the other is a dance with the Nikkei 225 index. Let me work my magic and handle them for you.]“Wonderful,” Edward chimed in, his hands clapping with delight. “I wish I could trade independently like a proud lone wolf in the game.”[Not yet, Edward. You are still an IB trader, merely grasping the basics of price dynamics and the concept of empty price. I have to give you a heads-up that if you want to go solo, you’ve got a long road ahead. Otherwise, reckless trades might just send you back to poverty.]“I get it,” Edward replied. “I’ll take your words into my heart. I know that price is always exacted for everything fate has to offer. Don’t worry, I won
In fact, Edward himself had never set foot in such an exorbitant establishment, yet his confidence remained unwavering. He was not nervous at all.Perhaps wealth had a way of bolstering one’s composure in the face of opulence, he thought.Soon, an enthusiastic waiter led them to their window-side seats.They quickly discovered that the dining table, meticulously crafted from the finest timber in the world, boasted a polished surface that gleamed with a smooth and lustrous texture.And a delicate silk tablecloth graced the tabletop softly on which exquisite cutlery was standing elegantly. Each plate, fashioned from the finest ceramics and porcelain, boasted intricate motifs and ornate edges. At the same time, the silver knives, forks, and spoons glinted with a radiant sheen, casting a spellbinding glow.At the table's side adjacent to the window rested a petite and exquisite vase filled with beautiful violets, which were sending out a delightful fragrance.Edward and Kalina settled int
“Please, Mr. Edison, please recuse my friend like a knight in shining armor against the god of death. Please! If you haven’t got any better trick up your sleeve, why not give that dashing young boy’s suggestion a whirl?” pleaded the young lady. Upon hearing her words, Mr. Edison felt like being consumed by an inexplicable insult that surged through his veins. “What? I’m a modern doctor, well-bred in the ways of contemporary medicine. How can I stoop to employing such archaic sorcery? Your friend’s fate is now hanging in the hands of God!” The beautiful woman’s face grew even more moist with teardrops as she mustered the courage to take matters into her own hands. Just then, a chef who had been standing nearby couldn’t bear it any longer and gallantly offered his services, “Since the doc’s too chicken to perform this so-called witchcraft, please allow me to take a stab at it. I think the doc is just a yellow-bellied coward, fearing that such an act would tarnish his honor and dignit
Without hesitation, he once again pressed the accelerator to the floor, and with a thunderous roar, the car shot forward like a raging bull—no, more like a soaring airborne bird. At that moment, all earthly resistance seemed to vanish, and Lily felt as if she were not inside a car, but rather in a low-flying aircraft, effortlessly gliding through the air.Lily marveled at Edward’s exceptional command of the vehicle, his driving skills leaving her in awe.“Are you playing a trick on me, Edward? You now resemble a professional race car driver,” Lily teased.“Ha-ha, you’re not the first person to perceive me that way. To tell you the truth, I may very well be the finest driver among all traders,” Edward chuckled.Approximately 10 minutes later, they arrived at the hospital without encountering any issues.Inside the hospital, Edard crossed paths with an acquaintance—the doctor of his adoptive mother. The doctor immediately recognized Edward and spoke with an air of excitement.“I don’t k
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
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
“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
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
Chapter 146 Roaring ThunderAfter disconnecting the video call, Edward thought that it was time for him to check his trades to see what was going on in the market.Edward gasped in awe as the profit soared dramatically. 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. A thousand pips soared, and it was as if the very air hummed with the thrill of it. No doubt, the market was awash with the fevered emotions of safety seekers because of regional conflicts that gained the attention of the world.Edward just couldn't believe his luck."Well, I'll be damned. A mere blink of an eye, and I’ve got a floating million bucks." 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
