"By the way, Edward," Mrs. Robinson's voice cut through the air like a blade of intrigue, "are you up for diving back into the world of knowledge?""You mean to further my education?"Edward's face contorted in a bewildered expression, caught off guard by the suddenness of Mrs. Robinson's proposition."Indeed. Just so you know, I happen to hold a seat on the board of the illustrious Ford University, a name that echoes across the globe. If I were to endorse you, your admission would be a surefire bet. I'm aware, dear Edward, that you once put your studies on hold due to your mother's health struggles. Now, you've carved quite a remarkable path for yourself, and your mother's health has taken a turn for the better. The time has come to contemplate your academic journey."Edward weighed the words, finding Mrs. Robinson's offer more than intriguing—learning never grows stale, after all.At this juncture, he was a trader, a trader on the cusp of greatness. Not to mention, he owned a lavish
"Don't worry, Lily, you're the only one in my heart," Edward said with a smile. "I won't be flirting around at the Ford university. You have my words.""Alright, I'll trust you then. Remember to pick me up after work," Lily gave Edward an air kiss and then left.Edward was restless at home, with nothing to do. He hadn't slept all night, and now the urge to sleep hit him. He lay down and soon slipped into a dream. In the dream, a clear voice kept calling his name."Edward, Edward, wake up!"It was a girl's voice. Edward opened his eyes to find Cicci fluttering in front of him. She was as cute as ever, like a flying fairy."Oh, it's you, Cicci. I was busy all night yesterday, really tired. Don't disturb me, let me rest," Edward intended to close his eyes again."No, you're getting up. Have you forgotten your goals? You're meant to become the most promising trader. To do that, you have to keep working hard. Remember, you're just an IB-level trader, still far from being a Supreme trader.
Chapter 92 New Trading Skill"In the realm of the markets, the dance of price movements unfolds much like the migratory pattern of birds.“Just as those feathered travelers journey tirelessly within their designated territory, swooping back and forth in search of sustenance, so do market prices oscillate within a defined range. These undulating motions create a vibrant narrative of their own, akin to the ebb and flow of a gripping plotline in a fantastic webnovel.”Edward was entranced once more by Cicci's eloquence."This is quite a departure from what I had imagined about market oscillations. I'm eager to hear more.""Absolutely, my dear Edward," Cicci responded with a sparkle in their eyes. "As I was explaining, market prices, much like migratory birds, tend to traverse within a certain range, tracing their daily trajectory. “However, just as avian habits are disrupted by external shifts, such as the gradual chill of approaching winter, market conditions also can take a turn for th
Under the watchful eye of his Pride Gang comrades, Edward's stepmother rebounded with astonishing speed after her surgery. When Edward laid eyes on her, he was taken aback by her newfound radiance."Looking good in recovery, Mom," Edward exclaimed joyfully."Indeed, my thanks to your pals. Check me out, I've even put on a few pounds," his stepmother quipped as she gazed at herself in the mirror. "But you, my goodness! You've taken self-care to a whole new level. How did you manage to become so tanned and thin all of a sudden?"With a tender gaze, she scrutinized Edward."No worries, Mom. A man's gotta be a bit sun-kissed and lean to be truly handsome," Edward boasted, flexing the muscles on his arm before her. "In fact, I'm even stronger now.""No," His mother sighed, "You've had a rough time these days, all because my frail body caused you big trouble.""Mom, what are you talking about? We're family, there's no such thing as trouble or burden. It's all part of what I should do," Edwa
With newfound clarity in his mother's eyes, Edward's heart danced with joy."Right this way, Ma’am. Allow me to show you to your presidential suite," Kalina exclaimed enthusiastically.Though Kalina currently held the prestigious position of General Manager at FS Hotel, she had started from the ground up. Before ascending to her role as GM, she had led countless tours of the hotel's suites at the behest of clients. Thus, guiding Edward and his mother through the rooms was a mere piece of cake for her, considering she knew every nook and cranny of the establishment.It was as they stepped into the elevator that Edward failed to notice the fetching young lady seated elegantly on the lobby sofa. This woman, dressed in casual attire, exuded an air of competence that belied her relaxed sportswear. Even so, the slightly loose attire couldn't hide her attractive figure. Undoubtedly, she was a natural beauty, possessing the aura of a potential superstar.Observing every detail unfold, this be
The elevator chimed softly as it came to a halt on the third floor, and the doors glided open. Evelyn stepped out onto the corridor, greeted by a pristine crimson carpet that stretched ahead. The red carpet seemed to extend into the distance, beckoning her towards a realm of violent crimson horrors.Perhaps her own psyche was at play, conjuring up these sensations within her. She played out the scenarios that might unfold ahead in her mind, poised to confront the challenges that lay ahead. Taking a deep breath, she paced herself and moved towards Room 308.Room 308 was one of the FS Hotel's finest presidential suites, a single night's stay costing upwards of tens of thousands of dollars. At this very moment, Kalina was showing Edward and his mother around Room 309.Standing before the door to 308, Evelyn hesitated briefly, but ultimately pressed the doorbell.In a matter of seconds, the door swung open to reveal a woman in her twenties, dressed like a secretary. She wore a low-cut she
Peter's attack on Evelyn's shoulder was like a calculated strike from a dragon's claw, his intention clear: hurl her deep into the room's shadows.Evelyn, not one to be outdone, channeled her vital energy with lightning speed, executing a move called Tai Chi Shake. Peter's assaulting force became but a conduit, flowing through her body and dissipating into the very core of the earth beneath her feet.The maneuver was nothing short of brilliance, morphing Evelyn's body into a sleek, eel-like fluidity. Peter's dragon claw, touted as the apex of grappling techniques, slid off her shoulder like a bead of water, his hand repelled by an unexpected surge of power emanating from Evelyn.As the abruptness left him reeling, the disoriented state worsened as Evelyn's lightning-swift retaliation landed on his face another two resounding Big Slaps that left Peter seeing stars. Those blows were like throwing oil onto the flames of his already escalating rage."I'll end you, you wench!" he roared, c
The lad at the heart of the scene was none other than Edward, a true embodiment of dashing charisma.Evelyn, sprawled on the ground, also recognized him – the dapper young fellow who had the hotel staff bowing and scraping in the lobby.How could he be working as a mere security guard at the hotel? It defied reason. Yet, a glimmer of hope ignited within Evelyn. With a resounding cry, she exclaimed,"Save me!"Little did they know, in the adjacent room 309, Edward had eavesdropped on the exchange between Evelyn and the scoundrels Benson and Peter. He had honed his hearing to a supernatural level through relentless practice, and now, even the fall of a pin a mile away would be as clear as day."What's this security sweep nonsense?" Peter fumed, his anger erupting like a volcano. He bellowed at Edward,"Who gave you the right to barge into our private space uninvited? Get out of here instantly!"However, Edward paid him no mind, instead pointing to Evelyn on the floor and demanding of Pe
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

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
