“Don’t take it to heart, sir,” Kalina said with a twinkle in her eye, revealing her eight pearly whites like a Hollywood celebrity,

“Lady Dorothy is a mere gold digger who enjoys hobnobbing with the upper crust.”

“Oh?” chuckled Edward, his eyes gleaming mischievously, “You are kind enough to say she is a gold digger. In my eyes, she’s no more than a poor hooker. Prostitution, destitution.”

“You’re so eloquent, sir,” smiled Kalina awkwardly, not expecting Edward’s harsh words on Dorothy.

“Well, by the way, do I look like a member of high society?” asked Edward.

“I have to say you don’t look like one of them, but your action betrayed you. Only a loaded man would be able to buff the shoes with cash,” Kalina winked playfully, sending a thrill down Edward’s spine.

“What if I’m just faking it?” Edward played along, suddenly keeping a straight face.

Kalina’s smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

“I’m sure you’re pulling my leg, sir,” smiled Kalina again.

    [Bravo! You’ve taken your first plunge into the market. Now it’s time to sit tight and see how the tide turns in the market.]“Okay, no problem,” whispered Edward, wiping away the sweat on his face. Yet, Edward couldn’t shake off the nervousness that was slowly creeping up on him as he stared at his EURUSD chart with bated breath. The market was going against him, and he could feel his balance dwindling with every passing second. [Hey, Edward, take it easy. Don’t let your nerves get the better of you. Just let your position ride with the waves of the market. It’s time to feast your eyes on something other than the market.]“Good suggestion,” nodded Edward in a low voice, trying to calm his racing heart. However, he found it hard to relax. He had to take a deep breath and look around, trying to distract himself.Just then, he saw Kalina coming over to him, pushing a gleaming cart that was fit for a king’s banquet.

    “It’s none of your business, James. Now do what you said you would if you don’t want to suffer again.,” said Edward coldly. Seeing this, Rebecca’s tone changed from haughty to soothing. “It’s just a misunderstanding, Edward. James and I will leave here immediately. I hope you enjoy your meal here. See ya!” With that, she propped up the injured James and readied to make a break for it. But before they could flee the scene, Edward interjected with a bone-chilling threat, brandishing his rock-solid fist like a weapon. "Before you skip town, you better make sure my fists are on board," he growled. "Don't push your luck, Edward," Rebecca cautioned. "You wouldn't dare lay a finger on a defenseless dame like me, would you?" "Sorry, honey, but for those who can't stick to their word, my fists don't discriminate. Keeping promises is a sacred code of honor. And let me tell you, I'm just trying to whip you two into better shape," Edward snickered. Kalina suddenly chimed in, "I love that ph

    After Edward’s getting into the taxi, the female driver remained tight-lipped, leaving Edward at a loss for words. He racked his brain for something to say to break the stifling silence.Finally, he mustered up the courage to compliment her.“Hello, madam. I must say, you’re an absolute knockout. I like your gloves especially.”“Thank you,’ the female driver replied curtly, her widened eyes glued to the road ahead. It looked like she was serious about her job.Careless about her lack of enthusiasm, Edward continued, “And might I have the pleasure of knowing your name?”He knew too well that the FS Hotel he had been staying might as well be on the side of the moon. It was so far from his destination, the Sixth Avenue. If he was not wrong, it was at least ten miles away.At the moment, Edward had no appetite for the humdrum scenery outside the car window. The passing vehicles, as well as the throngs of walking people on the sidewalk, did not tickle his fancy one bit—he had been accustom

    When Edward was at a loss for what to do next, he heard the noise louder than before. Apparently, the thing behind was closing in on him. He suddenly had a hunch that it was about to attack him. Edward’s instincts kicked in immediately. Without any hesitation, he subconsciously dodged the possible attack just in the nick of time. His heart was pounding fiercely as he sidestepped the threat, but instead of a monster he would fear, he was surprised to find a wee white kitty. At the sight of it, Edward let out a sigh of relief, happy that it wasn’t some sort of creepy crawly. “Well, hello there, little one. What’s up? Why are you trailing me? And what’s your name?” Edward asked a train of questions. Yet, the kitty locked its eyes on Edward and meowed incessantly. To his surprise, the meows were anything but ordinary because they sometimes sounded like a mournful howl of a lone wolf and sometimes like the fierce roar of a large feline animal. What piqued Edward’s interest was that de

    Before the two fireballs could reach the burly digital foe on the screen, they transformed into majestic fire phoenixes, soaring toward him with ferocity. As they flew past, the beefy guy was engulfed in flames, quickly reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes. Edward's jaw dropped in awe, realizing that this must be the legendary Phoenix Strike - a move so powerful that it could obliterate even the toughest of opponents. [Congratulations! You’ve already mastered Phoenix Strike. Now you are able to wield it effortlessly.] "What? I've already mastered it?" Edward stuttered in disbelief. "But I haven't even trained for it." [Your brain has absorbed the necessary knowledge. Every time you want to employ it, the vital energy inside your body will circulate and then ultimately start to gather on your hands. you can try it now if you would like.] “Oh?

    The hound Double Trouble went to smell the Silence Pill for a few seconds. Luckily, Silence Pill was coated with sugar on its surface and thus it attracted the hound very much.“Take it, Double Trouble,” said Edward in a low voice with a wide grin on his face. “I promise it tastes good.”Upon hearing Edward utter his name, the ferocious hound’s heart skipped a beat. The young man standing before him was a complete stranger, but for some inexplicable reason, the hound felt an undeniable connection with him.It looked like the young man could be trusted. Without a second thought, the hound lowered his head and licked the Silence Pill on the ground with great fervor.The Silence Pill was easy to dissolve. Upon touching the saliva of the hound, it melted away instantly and a sweet taste soon filled his senses. The hound quickly felt a wave of gratitude toward Edward, who had proved to be a reliable ally anyway.The hound attempted to thank Edward with a resounding bark, but to his dismay,

    "You are Derek, a level-two hitman at the Sloth Gang. Am I right?” Edward said with a sly grin. Turning to the fat man, he added, “And you are David, you are a level-three hitman working for the Sloth Gang. You were notorious for your indolence before joining the gang, so I guess that puts you one notch above the scrawny Derek.” Derek and David exchanged a surprised glance, wondering how this stranger knew their positions in the gang. They were starting to believe that Edward might be one of them, but they weren’t fully convinced yet. “Why’d you come alone, and without wheels?” David asked, perplexed. “Our big brother wants to keep things on the down-low. We can’t draw too much attention, you know. It’s all about safety and discretion,” Edward replied, affecting a nonchalant air. “Fair enough. Well, come with us. The goods are in the room, but can you handle them all by yourself?” Dereck challenged him. “No sweat. Don’t let my handsome face fool you. You know, I’m not just a pre

    “I promise I’ll beat your big brother black and blue, too,” Edward shot back. “Do you want me to burn two of you into ashes, don’t you?”Hearing that, David and Derek instinctively flinched.“If you two don’t want to die, now beat it!” shouted Edward.“Don’t get too above yourself. My big brother will come to you soon!”With that, David and Derek immediately beat a hasty retreat, totally defeated, leaving Edward alone in the room with the sack beside him.With a flutter in his eyes, he was amazed to find there was a new text message on the screen.[Congratulations! You’ve almost accomplished the mission. If you want to get it done fully, you’ll have to find a small black wooden box hidden somewhere in the room.]‘A black wooden box?’ thought Edward, ‘What’s it used for?

    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

    Chapter 153 Lightning Strike

    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

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.
