Edward's heart soared like an eagle catching a thermal as he beheld his newfound billionaire status. The once-daunting path to wealth seemed like a stroll through a rose garden, where the petals of prosperity showered upon him. He had unlocked the secret to riches: the unwavering belief that fortune would dance to his tune and that the heavens themselves could conspire to bestow upon him a magnificent super system. With each passing moment, he became more convinced that people should emulate pine trees perched on treacherous cliffs—when despair lurked closest, the search for hope should burn brightest. Lost in the blissful meanderings of his mind, Edward was suddenly interrupted by the delicate sobs of Kalina. “Hey, Kalina, what’s going on?" Edward asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. Kalina, upon hearing the tender timbre of Edward's voice, unleashed a tempest of tears, torrents cascading down her cheeks. These were not the tears of sorrow, but the tears of an overwhelmed soul
Soon, the mysterious and powerful Drunken Punch unleashed its mind-blowing power.The enigmatic figure cloaked in black glided like ethereal smoke, transcending through a realm that seemed straight out of a fantastical reverie. His fists and kicks wove a mesmerizing tapestry, each movement brimming with an unpredictable might and capricious celerity.At times, he blitzed forward like a lightning bolt, and at others, he crept with a sluggishness that rivaled a snail's pace. Yet, his footwork remained nimble and liquid, akin to an intoxicated wanderer, seamlessly shifting between the tangible and the ethereal.Every kick descended like a falling leaf, devoid of any perceptible pattern. His punches, akin to the sways of an intoxicated reveler, oscillated between erratic and astonishingly swift.Whether through his palms, fingertips, or clenched fists, each strike emanated an elusive force, reminiscent of an inebriated soul."Allow me to unveil the first movement of my Drunken Punch—Shade
Edward did not reply. Instead, he concentrated on gathering more of his vital energy in his hands. In a minute, the two little fireballs grew bigger than before. “They are useless to me,” shouted the python in the same rough voice. “Even if your fireballs grow as big as a mountain, they won’t hurt me at all.” With that, the python transformed by Jake suddenly also grew bigger than before. Edward still kept silent. He did not send the fireballs toward the giant creature at once. Instead, he started to run closer to the giant python which started to attack him with its big tail again. However, since the python was so big that it lost its agility. Edward jumped here and there, up and down. Thus, he easily dodged its attacks. “You’re clumsier and sillier than before since you’re a giant python now. I’m not afraid of you,” mocked Edward. “I know I’ll defeat you.” His words irritated Jake, now a white-skinned python. It immediately started to move the stopper of the gourd-shaped bottl
“What are you doing, Kevin?” said Wayne, “Edward is my distinguished guest here. By the way, I’ll have to tell he is No. two in our gang now.”“What? No. two?” said Kevin angrily, “How can he be No. two in our gang? As the level-nine hitman of our gang, I don’t want to be at his command unless he can defeat me!”“You’re all brothers to me. I don’t want to see you fight against each other,” said Wayne.“It’s okay!” said Edward, “Since Kevin hold grudge against me, I think we can settle it by a fight.”Wayne let out a sigh before saying, “Okay, Edward, my dear brother. It looks like you’re quite confident of yourself. Then show something to Kevin.”Kevin let out a cold harrumph and quickly lunged at Edward. Though he was fast, Edward was faster. He simply let his attacks aside and dodged all of his attacks easily.“Is that all you can do?” sneered Edward.“Since you’re inviting bruises, I’ll beat you black and blue,” fumed Kevin. “let’s go outside to have a true fight.”In a minute, the
In the blink of an eye, three colossal tigers materialized above Howard's head, their jaws agape, snarling and fixing their ferocious gazes on their adversary, Samuel.Almost as if orchestrated by destiny, three fiery streams burst forth from the tigers' maws, hurtling straight toward Samuel, threatening to engulf him in a roaring inferno.But Samuel, undeterred and fearless, let out a thunderous shout,"Dragon's Roar!"In an instant, an enormous flying dragon manifested above him, spewing an unbelievably cool, emerald-green liquid from its maw. The clash of four distinct energies sent shockwaves through the air, culminating in an earth-shattering explosion.Within the heart of the arena, the two warriors squared off, locked in a battle as fierce as a raging tempest, neither willing to yield an inch."My ace move is Tiger's Roar, and you've got Dragon's Roar up your sleeve. Impressive skills you've got there," Howard remarked, a sly smile playing on his lips. "I must admit, you're no
Instantly, numerous sharp pointy ice cones were flying toward Edward, who immediately gathered more of his vital energy to his hands where two bigger fireballs appeared.With a hard punch, the two fireballs went flying into the sky, stopping all the ice cones in the midair. In a flash, most of the ice cones were evaporated by the fire while some of them fell on the ground, causing loud explosions.Seeing the great power of those ice cones, the audience instinctively flinch backward as if they would like to press in a corner so as to avoid being attacked.“What’s your attacking technique?” asked the masked figure in surprise, gazing at Edward’s handsome face fiercely.“Okay. Since you want to know my technique, you have to kowtow three times in front of me. If you do that well, I’ll be glad to give you a straight answer,” sneered Edward.“You’re courting your own death!” fumed the masked figure. Once again, he shouted, “Sharp Ice Spikes.”He thought that Edward had just relied on his l
Edward decided to go to Daris Farm as quickly as he could. However, he suddenly received a text message from Lily on Wetalk.‘What’s happening?’ thought Edward, who had a hunch that there was something wrong.[If you want to save your girlfriend, remember to bring 200 million to Violet Smoke Mansion. If you don’t come in twenty-four hours, your girlfriend will be tortured to death!]Edward immediately typed a message to ask,[Who are you? By the way, Lily is not my girlfriend. You must have taken it wrong! Of course, don’t hurt her. I’ll do as I’ve been told.][Who am I? To tell you the truth, I’m Joey, the head of the Sloth Gang. Don’t you know I was actually the real master of FS Hotel? How could you take it away from me? Besides, because of you, I’ve lost the right to the casinos in the district A. I’ll make you pay the price!][Oh, I’ve got it. But what’s the point of your kidnapping Lily. She is innocent! I promise I’ll show up in 24 hours.][I’ll be waiting for you, bastard!]Jo
The dragon's lifeless body lay still at the mouth of the cave, a chilling reminder of the fierce battle that had taken place. Edward, undeterred, scanned the surroundings with determination etched on his face, like a predator ready to strike. He had set his sights on the elusive Black Scale Fruit and was not about to back down now."Where in the world could it be hiding?" Edward mused, his mind racing like wildfire.After the grueling fight, fatigue gnawed at him like a relentless predator, but he brushed it off, knowing he couldn't afford to slow down. With grit and fortitude, he pressed forward, plunging into the enigmatic darkness that lay ahead."Time is against me, and every passing moment counts. Three hours have already slipped away, and I've got mere twenty-one hours left to rescue Lily. Come on, Black Scale Fruit, show yourself!" Edward's words echoed through the cavern like a fervent plea to the mystical fruit.The cave, shrouded in darkness, was damp and eerie, its walls a
