As Edward deftly danced away, a new message from the system popped up before his eyes.[The venom of the Steel Spider is no joke, deadly enough to send its prey on a one-way ticket to agony and the afterlife. That cursed toxin will turn your body into an icy prison, leaving you paralyzed and helpless under its frigid dominion.]In the heat of battle, illuminated by the fiery glow of the fireball he wielded, Edward's sharp eyes caught sight of a small cat lounging on his left side. Before he could react, a barrage of steel-white threads came hurtling towards the unsuspecting feline.A tragic hit, and the little cat froze like a statue, not an inch of movement left. Who would have thought that even the threads themselves would pack such a venomous punch?[Legend has it that the Steel Spider was cooked up from dark magic, the sinister symbol of malevolence. Whispers of this beast abound in the wild and shadowy realms. They say it's a hell-spawned messenger of death, only lurking in the i
"Boiling Ocean Formation?" Edward's jaw practically hit the floor, his eyes wide with astonishment as he tried to wrap his head around the nature of this mystical enchantment.His system immediately sent him the message: [You can toss something in to check it out.]"No need for that," Edward retorted, his confidence taking the reins, "I'll just order my steel spider to give it a good smackdown."With a flourish, Edward once again brought the silver-white flute to his lips, and the air resonated with a haunting melody as the steel spider spat out an army of glistening steel threads, hurtling towards the seething sea.Yet, as the steel threads made contact with the water, a shroud of ethereal mist enveloped the surface, and the ocean churned and roiled relentlessly.Edward's eyes widened in disbelief. The ocean now resembled a boiling cauldron, and those steel threads he had unleashed looked like they were about to meet their doom, on the verge of being turned into scrap metal.If he fe
In the blink of an eye, Edward wriggled free from the net and unleashed a blazing barrage of fireballs, honing in on Joey with the fury of a thousand storms.Caught off guard, Joey instinctively took a step back, realizing he was dealing with a force beyond his reckoning.Without wasting a moment, Edward scooped Lily into his arms, determined to make a break for it with lightning speed."Do you think you can slip away that easily?" sneered Joey, his lips curling into a malicious grin. "Snake Shadow Punch!"Suddenly, a nightmarish snake with nine venomous heads appeared behind Edward and Lily, its forked tongues lashing out menacingly. Edward knew they were in grave danger, cornered with no way to evade the impending attack, not with Lily's safety at stake.Thinking on his feet, he unleashed his Demon's Sweep formation, conjuring a colossal broom behind them. The snake, formed from Joey's malevolent energy, collided with the sweeping force, causing an earth-shattering explosion."Damn
"I really want you. "Lily looked at Edward with a hazy gaze, and the desire in her heart was continuously burning, making her feel flushed all over.Lily even started to take off clothes.Edward sensed that there must be something wrong there since Lily even wanted to take Edward’s clothes off. Her hands were up and down on his body.Edward felt a primal fire ignite within him as Lily's actions sent his pulse racing and his heart pounding like a jackhammer. The temptation to dive into a passionate encounter right there in the car was almost unbearable.But in a surprising twist, Edward's conscience stepped in like a strict parent, wagging its finger at his desires."Hold on, cowboy. Taking advantage of her now would be no better than those rascals who snatched you," his inner voice chided.Thinking quickly, Edward acted quickly by moving his hand like lightning, delivering a well-timed tap to the back of Lily's head, sending her into a dreamy slumber within seconds.With his heart po
In the bustling auction hall, the crowd was buzzing with excitement like a hive of bees."$30 million! Can you believe it? $30 million for a millennium-old Black Mushroom! Who is this young man with pockets deeper than the ocean?""Don't tell me you don't know him? Look at that guy! That's Benjamin, the notorious lazy gang leader's son! What on earth does he need a millennium-old Black Mushroom for?""Keep your mouth shut! If he hears you, you'll be toast! And who's that audacious lad bidding against him? How dare he!""We're in for a spectacle, watching that young fella get a taste of Benjamin's wrath."But Edward remained undaunted, glancing at his earlier USDJPY trade in the market. His 1000-lot order had moved a thousand pips in his favor, racking up a whopping $10 million profit.'Hold up! This was the perfect moment to capitalize on those floating gains and take another bold shot," thought Edward.His trading system read his mind swiftly and sent him a text message:[Adding posi
In the blink of an eye, the burly men in white suits closed in on Edward, encircling him once more. Their hands clasped together, they channeled their vital energy between their palms, and before anyone could blink, a dazzling golden dome-like aura burst forth above Edward's head.Trapped within the confines of the shimmering golden aura, Edward pressed against its boundary, but an overwhelming force pushed him back, leaving him almost unsteady on the ground.This time, the barrier seemed even more impenetrable. Still, he refused to back down and tried to break free like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate by jumping into the sky. Yet, the relentless force from above struck him fiercely, hurling him back to the ground again.Among the men in white suits stood a brawny fellow with the demeanor of a humanoid ape, a wicked grin etched on his face as he stared at Edward."This time, we're following our master's orders to the letter. There's no escape for you, so you better start begging f
"I wonder who it is? Turns out, it's you!" Edward sneered, "If you've got the guts, take the Millennium Black Mushroom from me.""You're barking up the wrong tree, pal! Do you even know who I am?" Benjamin shot back, "I'm Benjamin, the son of the Sloth Gang's big shot. Cross us, and you'll be begging for a one-way ticket to the afterlife!""Who do you think you are?" Edward snorted, "But the spawn of some beaten-down guy. Your old man already tasted defeat at my hands. What makes you think you're anything special?""What? You think you can swagger around with such arrogance? You're in for a rude awakening!" Benjamin roared with fury.Edward mused to himself that this young blood was still blissfully unaware that his father had already met his maker, courtesy of Edward's hands. No doubt, the rotten apple didn't fall far from the tree. As a vile villain, a deserving fate awaited him.But spilling the beans to this greenhorn would be nothing short of a gut punch. Better to let him learn
The relentless flow of time raced by like water slipping through eager fingers.With the blink of an eye, the gears of time shifted, and he glided into his chariot like a lightning bolt, slamming the gas pedal to awaken the roaring beast under the hood.The engine's growl was a battle cry, propelling his machine forward like an arrow unleashed from a vengeful bow, hurtling toward his opulent mansion with the fervor of a storm.As he entered his house, a symphony of distant, seductive moans wafted from the confines of Lily's chamber. These ghostly echoes of pleasure's call were like a siren's song, stirring up an inferno of longing within Edward's chest.Unfazed by doubt, he surged into the room, only to be met with the sight of Lily writhing on the bed. The venom's hold had returned, setting her cheeks ablaze and clouding her gaze in a hazy fog of desire. The moment her eyes caught his, her yearning intensified and she fought against her restraints with a fervor that nearly catapulted
