“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
"Who did I think it was? Well, it’s you, Samuel! Are you courting your own death here? Why are you causing a ruckus here in the hospital? That's not the lesson I usually teach you. And how dare you bully my girlfriend? Now slap yourself thirty times,” said the middle-aged man angrily."All right,” replied Brian’s father quickly. He seemed very afraid of the middle-aged man.Instantly, he started slapping himself with such force that his face swelled up like a mighty peak.“What are you doing, father? Why are you acting like such a coward in front of the ugly man?” said Brian in great disbelief. “Give him a lesson and beat him black and blue, too.”“You imbecile! This man is my big brother of our Pride Gang, so get down on your knees,” Brian’s father, Samuel bellowed at his son, trying to drag him down at the same time.In an instant, Brian knew he had just invited himself big trouble. He knew very well that his father’s boss was a formidable individual. Crossing him meant signing his
Soon, a light bulb went off in Edward’s mind, and he finally recalled whose voice it was. If he wasn’t wrong, the person who wore a clown mask before him was no one else but the tall, thin man he had crossed paths with within that eerie abandoned hospital at No. 188 Sixth Avenue.To put his suspicions to rest, he swiftly asked his system to verify the identity of the man behind the clown mask. In the blink of an eye, a text message quickly popped up on the screen before him.[Name: Derek][Level: 2, the hitman in the Sloth Gang][Note: He’s as thin as a rail due to his excessive indulgence in lust day and night. If you manage to defeat him, you can lower your own Lust Index. It’ll greatly aid your progression to a higher level as a trader.]Sure enough, it was Edward’s former nemesis, Derek, who stood before him now.“So, it’s you, Derek. I beat you down at No. 188 Sixth Avenue, so how dare you come to me again here? This time, Lady Luck won’t smile at you anymore. I’ll skin you alive
“But you know, their taste is truly out of the world. Care to have a nibble as well?” Edward proposed with a smile, extending the other skewer of stinky tofu to them. “Get it away from us, pervert! Its overpowering stench is killing me. I felt like a grenade is going to explode in my head,” Derek vehemently shook his head. Edward quickly burst into laughter, relishing the stinky tofu in his hands at the same time. He enjoyed it. In the blink of an eye, he devoured the first skewer of the pungent yet delicious delicacy. “You guys truly have no taste buds. I generously share this mouthwatering delight with you, yet you fail to appreciate it. What a pity!” Edward proclaimed, his mouth agape, exhaling heavily. In a flash, the fumes from his breath intensified the thickness of the smell in the air in the hallway. The hitmen felt on the verge of passing out because of the stench, one by one experiencing a sudden loss of strength in their limbs. “All right, since you lot refuse to have a
"No problem, Edward. I'll do my best," Samuel replied promptly.Before long, Samuel and his son Brian departed the hospital."Why are you acting like a servant to Edward now, always obedient to him, my father?" Brian asked, gazing at his father in great surprise."You know nothing at all, Brian. Listen, Brian, from now on, you have to butter up Edward, he's the second-in-command of the Pride Gang. I can't afford to tick him off,“ warned Samuel.Brian racked his brain but couldn't fathom why Edward had suddenly become wealthier and more influential. Nevertheless, he understood that his father had caught on to him, and it seemed he would have to play along with a nod and a wink whenever he saw Edward in the future.He let out a sigh and thought he had to let it be.In the hospital, Edward and Lily bid farewell to Wayne and his girlfriend, deciding to rendezvous again in three days at Eternal Sports Arena. And since Wayne had already arranged for someone to take care of his mother, he de
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

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.
