After Jayson transformed into the masked man, he carefully assessed their respective powers before finally speaking. "Tsk! Tsk! You're more powerful than this old geezer. Let me borrow your strength to put an end to him," he said, his voice low and menacing.Dao Emperor Kun's complexion turned ashen. While his body was indestructible, he knew that his soul could still be erased. If that happened, it would take millions of years for his body to form a new soul. Panic rising, he shouted, "Brat, you are truly fearless. To take on the form of the demon race overlord... I and the Demon Race Overlord cannot allow you to live. Allowing someone like you to exist would upset the delicate balance of the world."The masked man stood in silence, his expression concealed.Jayson sneered, "Tsk! tsk!! Old geezer, I almost fell for it. You're quite the loyal lap dog, leaping around as soon as I take on the appearance of your master."Dao Emperor Kun's expression darkened as he contemplated his associ
If Dao Emperor Kun realised that the one he was fighting wasn't Jayson, he would spew blood in rage. Too bad he had self-exploded, making it impossible to exist again.Jayson sighed. He didn't expect Dao Emperor Kun to help him settle the two of them on his behalf. What a charismatic man!"Yi!" Jayson exclaimed as he noticed the masked man still standing, albeit unsteadily, amidst the aftermath of the explosion. Despite surviving, the masked man seemed alarmingly frail.Rushing over to him, Jayson couldn't hide his surprise. "You're still standing? You look like you're barely holding on."Meeting Jayson's gaze, the masked man spoke with a weary voice. "Kid, even if we keep fighting, there won't be a winner."Seeing the masked man's weakened state, Jayson couldn't help but smirk. "Well, if we don't fight, how will we ever find out?"The masked man fell silent, acknowledging that engaging in battle in his current condition would only lead to defeat.With a heavy sigh, he conceded, "I pr
Jayson turned to find Ella gazing at him. Taking a deep breath, he approached her. Standing eye to eye, he struggled to broach the subject. A smile lit up Ella's face."Would you like me to accompany you to Earth?" Ella asked before Jayson could gather his thoughts."What?" Jayson blurted out in surprise.Ella burst into laughter at Jayson's exaggerated expression, ruffling his hair. "Does that mean you're willing to come with me?" he asked.Ella nodded and replied, "Yes, wherever you go, I will follow. You are my husband, and wherever you make your home, I will make mine too."A broad smile spread across Jayson's face as he realized that his marriage to Ella was no longer a mere joke. He pulled her close, savouring the moment as they displayed their affection in front of the old Taoist Fairy.But the fairy could not bear to witness the shameless display of love any longer. Clearing his throat loudly, he interrupted, "Are you ready to return now or not?""Come back tomorrow," Jayson
Jayson patiently waited as the door creaked open, revealing a young man who stared at him with curiosity before asking, "Can I help you?"Perplexed, Jayson couldn't place the young man. After a moment's pause, he replied amiably, "Good day. I apologize for the intrusion. I'm here to see Mr. Jayson Wade, the former owner of this house."The young man regarded Jayson with suspicion before inquiring, "And who might you be to him?""We were friends at the orphanage before he was adopted by the Wade family of Jade City," Jayson answered naturally, without a hint of deceit."Please, come in," the young man said, extending an invitation.As Jayson entered, he noticed family photos adorning the walls. The young man returned with a glass of water and placed it on the table in front of Jayson."I must apologize for not asking earlier, but what is your name?" the young man asked, smiling."Johnstone Winchester," Jayson replied with a broad smile.The young man took Jayson at his word and shared,
"Absolutely not. That woman believes she can bully and swindle the Wade family? She's delusional. Hmph! Marrying that useless man, Gabby Willow, doesn't give her power over us," Old Wade scoffed before striding towards the company's exit.As they reached the company parking lot, they encountered Gabriel, who had just parked his car. He cheerfully greeted them, "Father-in-law, brother-in-law."Gilbert regarded Gabriel with contempt, his animosity towards the Wilson family intensifying even further. "You deceitful Wilsons think you can outsmart us, but we see right through your schemes. Don't even dream of taking the company for yourselves," Old Wade shouted with red-rimmed eyes.Gabriel was taken aback by the fierce expression on Old Wade's face. He hadn't anticipated such vigour from the elderly man."Dad, please, don't engage with him. He's just a worthless member of the Wilson family, living without purpose," Gilbert intervened, restraining his father from confronting Gabriel. He kn
Elena, on the verge of heading up the staircase to her room, sank onto the sofa with a heavy sigh. She met Mrs. Wilson's gaze and confessed, "Mom, I regret cheating on Jayson with that fool."Mrs. Wilson tightened her lips, caught off guard by the sudden transformation of Jayson, who had been nothing but trouble for the past three years. The business he had left behind had elevated the Wilson family's standing. Elena, now the CEO, had amassed such wealth that she ranked among the country's top ten."Elena, why don't you freshen up in your room before joining us for dinner," Mrs. Wilson suggested.Elena nodded, grabbed her handbag, and made her way up the stairs. As soon as she disappeared from the living room, the door swung open, revealing Lucy and her fiancé entering together.Mrs. Wilson snorted in frustration; she had never been fond of Lucy's fiancé.Lucy was the first to break the tension. "Mom, Caleb and I have something important to share with you," she began. The Wilson famil
After accompanying Mrs. Wilson and Elena to the hospital and confirming that they were merely in a state of shock, Gabriel decided to head back home, have dinner, get some rest, and then prepare to head to the office early the next day.Upon his return, he was met by Lucy, who had hurried back upon learning about her mother and sister's hospitalization. She had been trying to reach Gabriel but received no response."Gabriel, where did you take Mom and Elena? I've been trying to call you for ages, but you never answered," Lucy exclaimed as soon as Gabriel walked into the house.After removing his coat, Gabriel reassured Lucy, "I left my phone at home when I took Elena and Mom to the hospital. There's no need to worry; they're both fine, just a bit shaken up. Nothing serious happened to them."Despite their frequent arguments about her choice of partner, Lucy still harboured a deep love for her mother. She insisted, "Gabriel, I won't be at ease until I see Mom and Elena for myself. Plea
Gabriel nodded in agreement and added, "Mom is right, Elena. I shouldn't lead the Wilson family; you are more capable."What Gabriel truly feared was losing the freedom to indulge in clubbing, gambling at casinos, bullying others, and flaunting the Wilson family's power. If he were to assume leadership, he would be constrained, forced to clean up others' messes, subjected to intense public scrutiny and criticism, and obligated to attend tedious social events where fake smiles masked underlying conflicts.To Gabriel, this prospect was intolerable and nightmarish, utterly unacceptable."Let's head to the office," Mrs. Wilson finally said after maintaining silence for ten minutes. The more he looked at Gabriel, the more he wished he was never her son.If they continued to linger in the ward, she wouldn't be able to keep her restless hands still.As they prepared to depart the ward, Gabby Willow arrived with a ingratiating smile. He approached the family of three and said, "Good morning,
