“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
The scar-faced man was faster than Edward.Every time Edward tried to throw a punch at him, the man would be able to dodge his attack easily.“Stupid!” sneered the scar-faced man, “Do you think you can defeat me by using such silly kicks and punches? You know, I’m a level-five martial artist in my gang. Now I’m going to show your some really cool and powerful punches.”With that, the scar-faced man immediately jumped into the sky and shouted,“Toad Strike!’Suddenly, his face started to puff like a toad and when he landed on the ground, he lunged at Edward like a hopping Toad. Edward immediately let him slide by doing some somersaults backward.Fortunately, the scar-faced man’s attacks were going down the drain because Edward successfully dodged them.“Your Toad Strike looks funny,” mocked Edward, “it’s even more stupid than my ordinary punches.”“There’s more coming. Don’t jump to the conclusion so quickly,” seethed the scar-faced man.Once again, the scar-faced man decided to launch
“Now, I’m one with the Wicked Triangle Dragon,’ said the scar-faced monster, “it’s time for you to go to hell. I’ll tear you to pieces. “Wicked Triangle Dragon? What the hell is that?” said Edward. He quickly drove his car backward again, trying to move away from the transformed scar-faced man. “Now let me show you my new power!” With that, the scar-faced monster suddenly lifted the truck behind him. Now the truck was so small in his hand that it was simply like a toy to him. He grasped it with a little strength and then the truck was soon smashed into pieces, most of which quickly fell to the ground, causing huge noises. The dust on the ground was shaken up into the air. As a gentle breeze blew, it gathered and twirled into a big mocking face as if it was laughing at Edward, implying that it would be a doomed day for Edward. Edward knew he had to get out of the alley as soon as possible. Otherwise, he and Lily, as well as his million-dollar babe would be crashed into pieces if
“Fret not, Lily,” Edward reassured, caressing her back to calm her down, “I’ve got another super weapon.”At that moment, numerous streams of fire from the scarred monster were storming the last layer of the Six-layer Silk Formation. Yet, no matter how hard the monster tried, his streams of fire could not penetrate the last layer.“Holy shit! What’s going on?” bellowed the scarred monster in a coarse voice.“My formation is not that vulnerable, ugly Odie, Ha-ha,” Edward laughed with the swell of insolence. “You have no idea you’ll be defeated soon.”With that, Edward immediately retrieved those two pieces of Amazing Sticky Durian from his item inventory. Instantly, he got them in his hand.A powerful unpleasant smell came from the durian, leaving Lily dumbstruck again. She gazed at the pieces of yellow durian in his hands in disbelief.“Where do you get the durian?” asked Lily, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, “don’t you think it has an overpowering stench? But I have always been into
“How can I help you?” Lily asked outside the bathroom in the same soft sweet voice.Her voice almost made Edward turn on.“Can you…?” muttered Edward, “You know, I came into the bathroom too hurriedly just now, so I forgot to bring in my underpants. Can you find a clean pair for me and hand them to me?”Hearing that, Lily immediately flamed red to his ears. Instantly, the picture of the naked Edward soon crept into her mind.“Okay, I’ll do that,” replied Lily, “Wait a second.”A minute later, Lily got a pair of underpants in his hand.“I can’t come in,” Lily said awkwardly, “so how can hand them to you?”“Don’t worry,” said Edward, “I’ll unlock the door to the bathroom and creak it open a little bit. And then, you can hand it to me.”“Okay, I’ll do that!” replied Lily. In a few seconds, the door creaked open a little bit. Lily squeezed her eyes shut and quickly extended her hand with the underpants in it through the door. Edward hurriedly grabbed them at a fantastic speed.“Thank you,
“Do you want me to help you to move in?” asked Edward with a big smile. He was eager to have Lily around in his place forever. “I don’t have many personal items in my place, but yes, if you’re willing to lend me a hand,” said Lily. “No problem, Lily,” replied Edward quickly. “I won’t be busy tomorrow. I’ll keep you company.” “It’s so sweet of you, Edward,” said Lily, giving Edward a wink. And then she went straight into the bathroom with a set of pink bikinis in her hand. Soon, Edward heard the gentle sound of the shower in the bathroom. While Edward was chewing the delicious hamburger in his hand, he couldn’t help but imagine what Lily would look like when she was in the pink bikini. Suddenly, the same sweet voice was heard from Lily, “Can you do me a favor, Edward?” “Of course,” replied Edward outside the bathroom. “What can I do for you?” “Sorry, Edward, do you have any new towels here in the house? I need some,” said Lily awkwardly. Now she had already been naked in the bath
“A yard means a billion,” giggled Cicci in the same silvery sweet voice. “A billion?” exclaimed Edward while gaping at Cicci in disbelief. Her ivory shoulders and arms were so charming that Edward could not help but steal quite a few lingering glances. “Yeah, a billion. That’s why the four-million-dollar profit you’ve earned is nothing compared with those trucks of money a super trader could earn. Come on, let’s go to the Ultimate Realm and start your training. In a flash, Edward fell asleep and then went to the Ultimate Realm together with the guide of his system Cicci. Lily, in her bedroom, could not fall asleep quickly. She did not lock her bedroom door, thinking that Edward might want to sneak in. Yet, as half an hour passed, nothing happened. ‘It looks like Edward is a true gentleman. Okay, he has passed my initial test,” thought Lily with a smile on her face. ‘I’m wondering how he is now. Does he stop nose-bleeding and fall asleep?’ She was so curious that she sneaked out o
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
