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
Daris Farm sprawled at a secretive remove from the heart of the city. Truth be told, Edward whisked himself there in his luxurious vehicle, pushing it to the limits of velocity, almost consuming nearly half an hour of his time.The journey unfolded amidst a nocturnal canvas of blackened moon and howling winds. The asphalt was sparsely traveled, lending an air of clandestine intrigue to Edward's endeavor.Midsummer held sway, with daylight's searing sun casting the once-lush grass of the farm into pallid submission. Moonlight draped the landscape, painting a burnt-amber layer of shadow.Within the pen, freshly shorn sheep reveled in newfound comfort. They nestled together, their eyes gently sealed in restful bliss.Edward's silhouette stretched long and slender, as if the moonlight had amplified his contemplations. His footfalls stirred the grass, arousing a sudden vigilance among the sheep. Their bleats resonated in the night, punctuating the stillness.Edward pondered the enigma of R
"Heavenly Frozen Fury from the Heavens!” shot back Dan.Out of nowhere, from above, it looked like the heavens unleashed a cascade of icy cones that came hurtling down. The elemental showdown between ice and fire ignited in the skies, turning the enclosed space into a battleground of frigid frost and blazing flames, a wild dance between the extremes of hot and cold.The celestial clash raged on, as opposing energies clashed and vied for dominance, locked in a relentless embrace where neither yielded an inch, and victory remained just beyond their grasp.Rufus's lips curled into a cynical smile,"Well, well, who would've thought the ‘old boss’ would sprinkle the ancient werewolf's essence right into your veins? You've become a real oddity – neither human nor ghost."Dan shot back, his words dripping with defiance,"You've got some nerve talking like that! In fact, I'm a wolf warrior, ready to take you down without breaking a sweat, you inconspicuous pawn."Then, like the unveiling of a
Before you knew it, the sky played host to a magnificent sight – seven broomsticks materialized, each adorned with a radiant coat of golden light.They hung suspended in the air, taking up different positions like celestial sentinels guarding Edward. Meanwhile, the eighteen wolves spat out streams of red, viscous fluid akin to gasoline, aiming it directly at Edward's direction.But right on cue, the seven broomsticks sprung to life, choreographing a mesmerizing dance in the air. Their collective movement conjured a tempestuous gale within the confined space, nimbly steering the deadly crimson tide away from Edward's path.As luck would have it, the rouge fluid that splattered back upon the wolves seemed to evoke no harm. Instead, it was as if they were absorbing some eldritch elixir or growth catalyst, their demeanor positively invigorated by the scarlet infusion.In the blink of an eye, the once-eighteen-strong pack grew both in size and ferocity, their attacks now striking with a re
"On which floor are those lockers stashed?" Edward shot the question like a dart.He didn't give a fig for the dry old man's words. Right now, he had one burning desire: to unearth the evidence Rufus kept here."On the 13th floor," croaked the dry old coot, his voice creaking like an old floorboard.The old man's eyes did a flip-flop as they landed on Edward. It gave Edward the willies – like he was staring into the abyss, peering at a soul dangling on the edge of departure.Edward gave that scene a wide berth and pivoted on his heel. The old man's eerie aura slipped off him like a too-tight jacket. He stepped into the elevator and sucked in a lungful of air, like a thirsty man at a desert oasis.The elevator's fluorescent lights were on steroids, throwing a white spotlight on the doors, turning them into a mirror as bright as the noonday sun. Edward couldn't help but glance at himself, and holy moly, something was off—a murky darkness floated above his noggin like a storm cloud."Wha
"Dad, I'm bouncing back to normal," the dashing young man in his sleek black attire enthusiastically conveyed to the weathered old gentleman. “This young man has helped me get rid of the genes of vampire inside my body.”The old man's countenance morphed into one of sheer disbelief as the tidings hit his ears. Never in his wildest dreams did he foresee his offspring sauntering out of the elevator tonight, flanking Edward.The real stunner was that his son, who had undergone the vampiric transformation, was now back in the saddle of normalcy. He'd taken it for granted that Edward would be white as a sheet, quivering like a leaf up on the thirteenth floor.Edward bestowed a grin upon the time-worn old fellow and quipped,"Caught you off guard, didn't I?"With an abrupt thud, the elderly knelt before Edward, his voice resounding with fervor,"Truly, you're a true Light bearer, casting radiance upon my boy. My gratitude knows no bounds to you."Edward was lightning-fast in extending his h
The vehicles hurtled forward, like a gathering storm heralding an impending carnival.Life was not always a glittering parade, just sporadic bursts of brilliance—aced exams, wedding night flames, and the sheer euphoria of parenthood. It's these fleeting sparks that ignited the souls of regular folks, urging them to dive headlong into the fray, to taste the excitement that gives their humdrum existence a spicy twist.Among those gangsters in those vehicles, a collective yearning propelled them forward, a belief coursing through their veins that Edward, tailgating their formation, might conjure a year brimming with euphoria.Try as they might, they couldn't fathom the imminent spectacle, an electrifying showdown that could set the world ablaze. Victory, whether seized by their old leader or the spry protege tailing him, was a dish best served without a side of regret. A ringside seat to an unbridled clash of titans—now that's the real McCoy.Doubts may linger about the loyalty of the un
Kevin lay on the ground, lifeless. The old leader of the Sloth Gang walked up to him and squatted down, using his hands to close Kevin's open eyes."Rest assured and go in peace," the old gang leader said. "Since you died such a grisly death, I will definitely avenge this grudge for you."The senior leader of the Sloth Gang was getting older, and years of indulgence in alcohol and a promiscuous lifestyle had left him looking somewhat drained. Nevertheless, he was still the most formidable figure in the Sloth Gang.Consequently, Edward dared not underestimate him and closely watched the old gang leader's next move.Indeed, the old gang leader's movements were incredibly fast. To the onlookers, they couldn't make out the old gang leader's motions clearly. Yet, in an instant, he was just a few steps away from Edward, brandishing a long dagger."Come and meet your end, bastard," the old gang leader roared.Thankfully, Edward had the assistance of his system. Before the old gang leader cou
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.

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
