After they were done with their dinner, they retired for the night.

Under the cloak of darkness, the sea pirates stealthily anchored their ship at the dock town shipyard. Disembarking swiftly, they made their way towards the residence of the shipyard chairman.

"Jack," the shipyard chairman murmured in surprise as his servant informed him of the sea pirates' arrival.

"Allow them entry," the shipyard chairman instructed his servant, curiosity piqued.

Moments later, the sea pirate was escorted into the room. "Chairman Lu Kahn," the sea pirate greeted respectfully, cupping his fists and bowing his head.

Chairman Lu Kahn shook his head, signalling for the pirate to take a seat. Once settled, the shipyard chairman inquired, "Jack, we had agreed to meet in two days' time to divide the spoils. Why have you come unexpectedly? The province authorities have increased their patrols along the seashore due to the surge in pirate activities."

"I'm well aware of the situation; the reason I'm here is

    Jayson was left speechless by Angel's actions. He gazed at her pale face, shaking his head in disbelief. "Why are you so frightened? He's not going to harm you."A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Young Master Xia One's lips upon hearing Jayson's comment. Nevertheless, he calmly approached, pulled out a chair, and seated himself.Jayson locked eyes with Young Master Xia One and retorted, "I didn't invite you to join us. If you're going to stay, you'll have to cover the cost of our meal. If you agree, feel free to sit; otherwise, kindly leave."Young Master Xia One's expressionless face darkened, but he suddenly broke into a smile and replied, "That won't be a problem. I'll pay for the meal."The three waiters standing a couple of meters away trembled at the sound of his words. Even the innkeeper, who had just emerged from the kitchen, stumbled and nearly lost his balance.Hastily making his way over, the innkeeper bowed with cupped fists and exclaimed, "Young Master Xia One, the

    Xia One gazed at his younger brother, who lay on the floor bitterly complaining with a blank expression, and spoke firmly, "Brother, enough with the tears. Come with me."Without giving his younger sibling a chance to respond, Xia One guided him away, leading him into his private chambers. He dismissed all the servants and slaves, ensuring they were alone."Brother, I need you to help me seek justice. How can I show my face in Xia City after this?" Xia Wo lamented tearfully.Observing his brother's distress, Xia One slammed his hand on the table in frustration, silencing Xia Wo before he could continue."Brother, you should lay low for now and accompany me to apologize to the individual you've wronged," Xia One stated with a stoic expression.Xia Wo gazed at his brother in disbelief. He never expected that his older brother, who had always stood up for him and forcefully dealt with those who crossed him, would now request that he come and beg for forgiveness from someone who had humil

    With an air of arrogance, the haughty young man next to him disdainfully muttered before striding towards Jayson in a fit of pique. He positioned himself in front of Jayson.Upon seeing someone obstructing his path, Jayson furrowed his brow. "Why are you blocking the way? Do you lack manners, or are you unable to see?"The Xia family butler turned around and observed the situation. He swiftly positioned himself in front of Jayson, preventing the haughty young man from directly facing him. "Young Master Fred, he is an esteemed guest of the third young master, please," the Xia family's butler anxiously implored with clasped fists.The arrogant young man addressed as Fred looked down at Jayson with disdain, sneering and snorting in contempt. "Brother Xia must have been deceived by this weakling. His cultivation level is barely noteworthy and he's not even worthy of being associated with your young master. He's probably from that sorcerer tribe."The Xia family butler forced a bitter smil

    Before Jayson could respond, a resounding laughter filled the air, followed by a deep voice remarking, "Xia Wo's manhood is quite lacking; no wonder he's always so irritable and resorts to coercion with women. If I were a woman, I wouldn't willingly share a bed with such a poorly endowed man."Jayson was taken aback by the man's audacious comment. Turning around, he witnessed a contingent of armoured men making their way toward the jovial group, their laughter and banter abruptly interrupted."The city patrol team!" one of the men around the table shouted in alarm. Immediately, all of them scattered in different directions.Jayson briskly led Angel away from the commotion, his grip firm on her arm. As they moved out of sight, he slowed his pace to a casual stroll."Master, you haven't answered me," Angel reminded him, sounding anxious."Oh!" Jayson exclaimed, recalling Angel's question. Before he could reply, a figure leaped in front of him and Angel.Jayson's expression darkened upon

    Pretending not to hear, Jayson continued walking, gradually picking up his speed until he was jogging away.In a matter of minutes, the fat, bald pawn store owner was left behind as Jayson took several turns and disappeared out of sight. Frustrated, the pawn store owner looked around in vain before returning to the store in a gloomy mood, grumbling to himself.Upon his return to the inn, Jayson was surprised to find a messenger sent by Xia One waiting for him. "Mister, my young master requests your presence at the Xia residence," the messenger said.Eyeing the messenger suspiciously, Jayson replied, "Very well, lead the way."Together, they boarded a carriage and soon arrived at Xia's residence. The Xia butler escorted Jayson to meet with Xia One."My good friend, there's been a change of plans," Xia One said urgently. "We can't afford to delay any longer. The forbidden land has been discovered by others, and if we don't act swiftly, someone else will claim everything for themselves."

    The lady fixed her gaze on Xia Wo, causing him to tremble with fear. "I swear by my dao that I'm telling the truth," Xia Wo gasped, his nerves on edge."Kill them all," the lady commanded with chilling indifference, and the massacre raged on. In just three minutes, the entire Xia residence was transformed into a haunting wasteland.Blood stained the surroundings, and lifeless bodies littered every inch of the once vibrant residence. It was a horrifying scene that would haunt anyone who beheld it."Holy maiden, what are your orders? Should we pursue and capture them?" asked one of the men clad in battle armour, addressing the lady in the scarlet robe."There's no need for that. We will capture the young girl who accompanies the reincarnation body and use her as leverage. When he returns, he will surrender himself to us, and we will exchange the hostage for the time sword," the lady in scarlet replied, her expression devoid of emotion. The frigid aura surrounding her even sent shivers d

    Jayson nearly tumbled off his chair, while Xia One was visibly on edge. They hadn't anticipated a confrontation with a third-grade beast before even entering the forbidden land."You can talk," Jayson exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.The three-eyed beast regarded Jayson with disdain. 'Humans may be intelligent, but this little human is quite foolish,' the beast thought to itself."I can talk, and I also intend to devour both of you," the three-eyed beast replied, then bared its teeth, revealing a formidable set of large canines, each thicker than an adult's fingers. Jayson shuddered at the sight."Aham, mighty creature, there's no need for hostility. We're simply visitors seeking treasure and mean no harm. If you'd like, you can join us on our journey to the land of riches," Jayson suggested warmly, his face beaming with a friendly smile.The three-eyed beast appeared stunned by Jayson's words, squinting its central eye before raising its massive paw as if to strike Jayson an

    The masked man stood serenely in front of the impenetrable shroud of darkness. Xia One, who stood beside him, recoiled in immediate fear. The overwhelming sense of menace emanating from the masked man sent shivers down his spine.Without warning, the masked man extended his arm, and the darkness, resembling a thick blanket, began to swirl and rush toward him, as if drawn by an unseen force. Xia One's eyes widened as he witnessed the darkness being completely absorbed by the masked man.Once the absorption was complete, the masked man reverted to Jayson and crumpled to the ground, his body overcome with weakness. Xia One trembled with fear as he caught sight of the dark creatures with gleaming eyes. They had been concealed within the dark blanket but were now revealed after the thick, smoky darkness had been entirely absorbed.As Jayson struggled to his feet, Xia One quivered with apprehension, unsure of what would happen next.Jayson trembled with fear as he laid eyes on the eerie cre

    Old Anderson, the patriarch of the Saint family, was the first to step forward, accompanied by his son, both renowned pillars of Jade City's pugilistic world. They were joined by nearly a hundred cultivators from various families, forming a formidable ring around Jayson.Despite the presence of the Wilson family guardians, Jayson found satisfaction in knowing that none of the aristocratic families' businesses had been spared. "Trashy Jay, there's nowhere for you to run. Surrender to us and spare yourself a slow and painful death," Julius taunted with a smirk. This day had been long awaited since Jayson had thwarted his chance to ascend the immortal world and had taken Ella from him, Jayson became his heart demon and the person he wanted to kill in the world the most."I'll remember you; your death will come first," Jayson replied, his smile unwavering.

    Standing at the top of the office building, Jayson sneered, "Is it time for the other families?" before vanishing from sight.Throughout that fateful night, the entirety of the Wilson family's business empire went up in flames, with warehouses and factories alike reduced to ashes.The news of this catastrophic event dominated headlines, seizing the front pages of newspapers and flooding the airwaves, as live updates of the widespread devastation were broadcast on television.Observing the news coverage, Mrs. Wilson felt no sympathy for her estranged relatives. They had long ago cast her and her family aside when they divided the family's wealth among themselves."Mom, this is terrible; all our family's businesses are gone," Elena remarked, her face drained of colour.Seething with anger, Mrs. Wilson retorted, "What do you mean 'our family business'? The Wilson family's enterprises have nothing to do with us after they divided the family assets and refused to share even a fraction with

    Jayson observed with anticipation as the lawyer revealed the outcome of the DNA test. "Based on the evidence presented, it is clear that Gabby Willow is not the biological father of Peter."A slight twitch at the corner of Jayson's lips betrayed his lack of surprise at the revelation. He had suspected that Elena might manipulate the DNA test, knowing all too well the lengths to which she would go to deny Gabby Willow any claim to fatherhood."Nonsense! I refuse to believe it! Peter is my son, and this DNA result is a sham! I won't accept it!" Gabby Willow's voice thundered through the courtroom, his rage palpable."Silence!" the judge commanded as Gabby Willow struggled to contain his fury, wanting to lunge forward but held back by others in the room. The judge proceeded to deliver the final verdict.As the court proceedings came to a close, a look of shock and disbelief washed over Gabby Willow's face. It felt as if he were trapped in a nightmare from which he desperately wished to a

    Old Wade stood to the side as Gilbert tried to contact other family members and grandchildren. Unfortunately, they were all magically unreachable or had their phones turned off."Old man, it seems I've wasted enough time on you two; I should be getting rid of you now," the gang boss said, pointing his gun at Old Wade and edging his finger toward the trigger."I'll give you 1% of my shares in the company," Old Wade suddenly offered.The gang boss's expression soured as he scoffed, "1%? Do you think I'm a fool?""3%," Old Wade blurted out in a flustered manner, his fear of death evident."Not bad, old man; you're good at handling a crisis," the gang boss remarked before standing up and leaving the father and son locked in the room.Looking at his father, Gilbert said unhappily, "Dad, you shouldn't have given him 3% of the company shares. Now we're left with only 15%, and our monthly dividends will decrease by 3%."Old Wade let out a disdainful huff and snorted. "Why should I continue to

    Facing the menacing presence of a notorious killer, the father and son stood frozen, unable to muster the courage to lie. With a tense expression, Old Wade locked eyes with Gilbert before reluctantly admitting, "We intended to purchase the property, but the asking price is simply too steep. Our purpose in coming here was to negotiate a more reasonable sum."The gang boss regarded the duo with a smirk before scoffing, "The Wade family holds an 18% stake in one of the largest group globally, not to mention the wealthiest company in the country. Even for a shareholder with such substantial holdings, fifty million dollars shouldn't pose a significant obstacle, right?"Old Wade's eyes widened in disbelief, while Gilbert's complexion grew noticeably ashen. Old Wade responded with a hint of dissatisfaction, "We were under the impression that you were prepared to offer the property to us for thirty million dollars. Why the sudden increase to fifty million?"The gang boss lounged back in his c

    As Gilbert drove them to the meeting location provided by the buyer, Old Wade couldn't contain his frustration. "Who does he think he is, making such an unreasonable demand? When we get there, I'll give him a piece of my mind. What a thief," he grumbled."Dad, please try to stay calm. We don't know who we're dealing with here," Gilbert urged, worried that his father might escalate the situation. They had an ongoing court case with the Wilson family that required a cash settlement, and their company's monthly dividends wouldn't be enough to cover additional troubles."Why are you so afraid? Sometimes I wonder if I'm even your father. When I was your age, I wasn't afraid of trouble; trouble was afraid of me," Old Wade scolded Gilbert relentlessly.Gilbert remained silent and declined to offer any further comments. Instead, he focused all his attention on driving while his father continued to criticize him as they made their way. Upon arrival, Gilbert hastily parked the car in a nearby s

    After Jayson left the court, he headed over to Wade's side to check on their progress. When he caught up with the father-and-son duo, they had already been to more than twenty housing agents in the city, all of whom had refused to entertain their request for a house.Old Wade was seething with anger, clenching his teeth in frustration. "All we asked for was refunds for damaged houses, and they've all ganged up against us. Do they think the Wades are easily pushed around?"Gilbert focused on driving, letting out a rueful sigh before turning to his father and asking, "Dad, what should we do now?"Old Wade gritted his teeth and replied, "I don't believe that none of them will sell us a house. We'll keep searching tomorrow. Stop by a place to eat; I'm famished."Gilbert pulled over at an eatery, and they grabbed a quick bite. Once they were finished, they drove to the nearest hotel and booked rooms for the night.The following day, they rose early, had breakfast, and set out to find a hou

    After fleeing, Old Wade hailed a taxi and returned to where Gilbert awaited him. Old Wade's expression darkened upon seeing his son. He hadn't anticipated Gilbert's disloyalty in fleeing at the first sign of danger."Gilbert!" Old Wade bellowed, drawing the attention of the lunchtime crowd in the eatery. Gilbert hung his head low as Old Wade stormed over to his table, pointing an accusatory finger."I regret the day you were born. How could you abandon me in a time of need?" Old Wade scolded.Gilbert lifted his gaze. "Dad, I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen," he replied.Old Wade made no effort to lower his voice; his outburst disrupted the peaceful atmosphere of the eatery, causing discomfort to the diners. A security guard approached them, saying, "Excuse me, sir, please lower your voice. You're disturbing our patrons with the noise."Old Wade turned to the security guard and bellowed, "Do you have any idea who I am? I'm Wade, a shareholder in the Wade group. How dare a me

    Old Wade's eyes snapped open, and he immediately berated Gilbert, "Why didn't you catch me before I fell? I've broken my waist."Beads of sweat formed on Gilbert's brow as he scrambled to apologize, "I am deeply sorry, Father. I promise never to fail to catch you again. I won't make such a mistake in the future."Old Wade fixed Gilbert with a steely glare and retorted angrily, "What do you mean, 'next time'? Do you think I enjoy fainting? Don't let this happen again. Find new agent. We can't afford to spend the night out in the open."Gilbert wiped the sweat from his forehead and promised, "Dad, I will contact a new agent."Old Wade huffed in frustration and fell silent. After Gilbert arranged for another agent, they purchased a new house. However, just as they were about to move in, the house collapsed."What's happening?" Old Wade's eyes widened in shock as disbelief etched across his face.If it had happened once, it could have been a mistake, but twice couldn't be attributed to a
