In a sudden motion, Jayson, disguised as Serenity, swiftly pivoted and darted away, his pace brisk and purposeful. Unbeknownst to Serenity, who was engrossed in her mission of fetching a bottle of water for Lucy, she missed the sight of Jayson's hasty retreat.

Serenity approached Lucy, her gaze distant and unfocused. Lucy was completely soaked, her clothes clinging to her body. She stood there, seething with anger. The longer Serenity stared at her, the more her fury grew.

"Mistress Lucy, what happened to you?" Serenity asked, her voice filled with confusion. She couldn't comprehend what was unfolding before her.

"You're fired!" Lucy spat, her words icy as she slapped Serenity across the face. Shocked, Serenity instinctively touched her cheek, bewildered by how she had managed to upset Lucy so greatly. "Mistress Lucy, what did I do wrong?" she pleaded.

"After drenching me with water, you still have the audacity to ask what you did wrong?" Lucy bellowed, her rage boiling over. In a fit

    Caleb's expression turned grim, and a prominent vein on his forehead bulged, threatening to burst open as a clear sign of his seething anger."Caleb, you made it too," Elena approached him, accompanied by Victoria, and greeted him.Meanwhile, Jayson made his way towards the cabin area. He stood in front of a row of doors, trying to determine which one belonged to him and Elena. Just as he was pondering, Elena joined him."Number 50 is ours," Elena informed him.Jayson picked up his box and positioned himself in front of the door marked with the number 50. Suddenly, the door behind him creaked open.Curious, Jayson turned his head and saw Gabby stepping out. Ignoring whatever she said, Jayson averted his gaze and entered the room. He placed his box in a corner of the opulent suite and stretched his arms, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.A few minutes later, Elena entered the room just as Jayson was preparing to leave. "Jayson, Gabby was trying to talk to you, but you completely ignor

    Jayson glanced at Queen York before turning to face Elena. "Just a minute," he said, excusing himself, and stepped outside with her.Elena's voice was cold as she spoke. "Come with me, Jayson." She began walking away, and Jayson followed closely behind, their destination becoming clear as they headed towards the cabin area. Elena opened the door to their cabin and went inside, waiting for Jayson to join her.Jayson's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he entered the cabin. He couldn't help but wonder why Elena had brought him back to their suite. "Why are we here?" he asked, giving her a questioning look.Elena's expression remained earnest as she spoke, her words carrying a sense of sincerity. "There's no need for you to be at the pool party. Everyone there is from the aristocratic family of Jade City. I don't want others to look down on you, so it's better if you stay here," she explained, as though she was doing him a favour.Jayson immediately sensed that Elena's words were insinc

    ThCaleb's expression grew stormy with anger as he heard Jayson's words. He responded with a curse, "Fuck! Do you think this is some kind of wet market? If you're broke, just admit it instead of trying to belittle me. If you bow down to me and acknowledge your poverty, I might consider canceling the challenge."The man in charge of the table tennis board maintained an impassive face and tossed a booklet towards Jayson, which he caught.As Jayson flipped through the pages, his face contorted with confusion. The rules seemed to spin in his head, leaving him dizzy. Suddenly, a bizarre sensation overcame him, as if a surge of information had been injected into his brain. He felt an inexplicable connection to the paddle in his hand and the tennis table before him.When he glanced at the table tennis board, he was astonished to see the figure of the Old Taoist Fairy standing upon it. The Old Taoist fairy locked eyes with Jayson and uttered, "Brat, make good use of it," before vanishing."Cal

    Elena's expression dropped, but she quickly mustered a forced smile and awkwardly uttered, "I'm not pregnant; I've always been taking the morning pills."Gabby's face turned grave as he gently held Elena's hands and said, "Elena, when the time comes for us to have children, you will be the mother of our kids. I promise to invest an additional $100,000 in your family's Eastern project."Unbeknownst to them, Jayson had been discreetly recording the entire scene on his phone. Just as Gabby leaned in to capture Elena's lips, Jayson's boiling anger and jealousy reached its peak. He charged forward, his fist clenched, and violently struck Gabby's face.Gabby staggered backward, a trickle of blood forming at the corners of his mouth. Elena let out a scream, her senses snapping back as she stared at their assailant in disbelief. "Jayson?" she mumbled, her voice filled with disbelief.Jayson's other clenched arm swung towards Gabby's face as he shouted in fury, "How many times do I have to tel

    Jayson let out a weary sigh, his frustration evident in his words as he responded to the Old Taoist Fairy's question. "I wish I could divorce her, but it's not that simple. The Wilson family has thrown their support behind her, and they won't allow it. Trying to initiate a divorce right now would only be seen as a childish tantrum by Elena."The Old Taoist Fairy nodded knowingly, having observed the workings of this world during his short time with Jayson. He understood how power and influence often dictated the course of events, just like in the cultivator world, where the strong ruled over the weak and determined the laws."Well, Brat, if you were a cultivator, you could divorce her without any interference from the Wilson family," the Old Taoist Fairy suggested mischievously, a playful smile on his face.Jayson rolled his eyes, dismissing the idea outright. "I have no desire to become a cultivator," he replied firmly.As his stomach grumbled, reminding him of his hunger, Jayson tur

    Elena trembled in terror as she found herself staring down the barrel of a gun. The cold, harsh reality of the weapon's power to end her life with a single pull of the trigger sent shivers down her spine. Her face drained of colour, she stammered, "I... I don't know.""Do you want to die?" Kingston Black bellowed, his voice filled with menace, as he aimed the gun directly at Elena.Tears streamed down her smooth cheeks, her fear consuming her completely. "I haven't seen him since we were brought here," Elena managed to explain, her words stumbling out in a jumble.A deep furrow formed on Kingston Black's brow as he glanced at his men, issuing a command for them to search. They promptly departed, diligently scouring the area. After a few tense minutes, they returned with a report."We've searched everywhere, but we couldn't find him," one of Kingston Black's men reported.Kingston Black's face darkened, his anger evident. He seized the ship's communication device and issued a chilling

    The man in the suit, his anxiety palpable, was taken aback. He hadn't anticipated that the room he desired to transfer ownership of would suddenly become an item up for auction.Jayson shot a quick glance at Caleb, disappointed that Caleb hadn't learned his lesson and continued to pester him relentlessly. Yet Caleb, undeterred, persisted in his annoying behaviour.Observing Jayson's silence, Caleb grew bolder. He cast a disdainful glance in Jayson's direction before turning his attention to the man in the suit and boldly declared, "I will pay you triple the amount you originally booked the room for. Just give it to me."Jayson quickly responded, "Do you even know the actual cost of the room? Are you certain you can afford it?"Eager to expedite the situation, the anxious man in the suit decided to speak up, "I paid $100,000 to reserve the room."Jayson, with a mocking expression, turned to Caleb and taunted, "Are you absolutely certain you have $300,000 to offer him?"Caleb's expressi

    Jayson was determined to tell the truth, but as he glanced around and noticed the intimidating presence of Boss Chain's men, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Instead, he let out a forced laugh and replied, "Sure, I used to live in a rural area before my luck turned around."Humble and Stanley patted Jayson on the back, trying to boost his confidence, before handing him a hunting gun. As Jayson furrowed his eyebrows, he couldn't help but wonder if things were getting more serious than he had anticipated. After all, he had only gone rabbit hunting once before. Surely, it couldn't be as intense as this, right?"Alright, everyone, listen up! The rules are simple: the person with the highest kill count wins the prize. But be cautious, we have lions, tigers, and a variety of wild animals out there. Don't venture too deep into the forest, and under no circumstances should you approach or touch the wild animals," a tall man, who appeared to be in charge of the hunting game, declared loudly

    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
