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
Jayson turned to Elena, his eyes filled with disappointment. But before he could utter a word, Elena enveloped him in a tight embrace. Queen York, her gaze lowered, turned on her heel and walked away with the men she brought to rescue Jayson. Jayson attempted to extricate himself from Elena's grasp so he could express his gratitude to the Queen, but she refused to let go. It was only after Queen had departed that Elena finally released her hold on Jayson.Realization dawned on Jayson, causing him to grit his teeth in anger. "Elena, you saw my missed call, didn't you?" he asked through clenched teeth.Elena responded nonchalantly, "I did. Come with me." She firmly grabbed his wrist and pulled him along.Jayson's face darkened, but he took a deep breath and followed her. As they passed through a gate, Jayson finally understood why he hadn't encountered anyone from Jade City. He was in the outer part of the resort, while they were in the inner part of the resort separated by a fence. Co
Jayson squatted down and clenched his fist around the stone he found on the floor. He was about to hurl it at the talking Rabbit when suddenly, the door behind him swung open forcefully, slamming into his back."Argh!" Jayson cried out in pain, stumbling forward. The stone slipped from his grasp and landed square on his forehead, intensifying his agony. His eyes squinted with pain, and tears welled up as he groaned.Elena, dazed by the chaotic scene, asked in concern, "Jayson, what happened to you?" She noticed the swelling on his forehead and the anguish etched on his face.Jayson, seething with anger, glared at Elena and unleashed a furious tirade, "And you have the audacity to ask? Weren't you the one who recklessly flung the door open instead of opening it properly like a lady?"His head throbbed with unbearable pain, causing him to hiss and cut his words short. He shot one final glare at Elena before storming out of the room, consumed by his fury.Elena stood there, disoriented.
Jayson's heart burned with rage as he couldn't bear the sight of the talking Rabbit. His eyes reddened, and he instinctively exclaimed, "Damn rabbit, it's you again!"In a desperate attempt to catch the elusive creature, he lunged towards it, only to be abruptly swept out of the garden by a powerful gust of wind. He cried out as he floated through the air, eventually landing on his back in a nearby field.Groaning in pain and momentarily dazed, Jayson gradually regained his senses. To his surprise, he found himself face-to-face with a pair of eyes staring down at him. It was Elena, wearing a concerned frown."Jayson, what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice filled with worry.Anxiety tinged his scolding reply. "Elena, can't you see I'm in pain? Instead of asking if I'm fine, you inquire about what I'm doing here. Are you sure you're my wife?"Elena seemed unfazed by his words, her attention quickly shifting as she scanned their surroundings. With furrowed eyebrows, she continued
Victoria's declaration came as a pleasant surprise to Jayson. He paused for a moment, turned around, and responded, "If that will hasten our divorce, I'll be incredibly grateful."With those words, he walked away. Victoria stood there, staring at Jayson's retreating figure, utterly dumbfounded. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.Sanders, on the other hand, had a different reaction. He was overjoyed and urged Victoria, "He's using reverse psychology on you. Let's go. If we delay any longer, Elena's life will be in danger since that scoundrel refuses to show up. Don't forget to inform her about what he did."Unlike Sanders, who eagerly awaited Elena and Jayson's divorce, Gabby wore a gloomy expression. He realized that Jayson wasn't joking when he claimed to know about Elena's infidelity.Jayson made his way to the concession stands and ordered another tray of food. A friendly lady managing one of the stands asked with a smile, "Is this for your friend?"Jayson's face broke i
