Maple Villa proved to be a heavenly abode for Victor, who, engrossed in its splendor, allowed others to explore independently. Nevertheless, he took the initiative to personally guide Diana through the intricacies of the house, showcasing its various facets with enthusiasm and pride.Diana, still filled with surprise and confusion, inquired, "In what way did you manage to acquire this?" With a reassuring smile, Victor responded, "My love, as I mentioned before, winning the lottery has brought about significant transformations in my life, all of which are meant to benefit us. And there's more to the story – I've also begun working for Mr. Davis's superior. It's a lengthy tale, but the important thing is that our lives are on the verge of a remarkable change. I'm determined to provide you with the very best."Diana reciprocated with a smile, enveloping Victor in a warm hug before releasing him, a tinge of embarrassment coloring her demeanor."After concluding their tour, Matthew and h
Victor, Michael, and Ella were guided to a designated area where their cards underwent scrutiny. Following the verification process, each of them was equipped with distinctive tags displaying the letter C.Meanwhile, Boss Kent received a tag with the letter M inscribed on it, setting him apart from the others.Observing this systematic tagging, Victor discerned a pattern: C denoted Core, while M signified Middle. Intrigued, Victor hypothesized the existence of a third category, anticipating a tag labeled P.Soon enough, Victor's conjecture materialized as they encountered an individual adorned with a P-tag. A silent confirmation passed between Victor and Ella, validating their shared analysis.The event's organizers, it became evident, had implemented a hierarchical division of the affluent attendees based on martial art cultivation stages. Despite this revelation, the reasoning behind such categorization remained elusive to Victor.Indeed, there was more beneath the surface than ini
The initial auction item sparked a flurry of enthusiastic bids, particularly from participants within the core section of the auction. Subsequently, additional items were presented, each drawing its share of interested bidders.Jonathan addressed Victor, noting, "I couldn't help but notice that you haven't placed a bid on any item lately. The upcoming auctions promise intense competition, particularly among participants in the middle and peak sections. The middle section might struggle, not to mention the core section."In response, Victor explained, "I refrained from bidding because I didn't find anything that piqued my interest. I can't be certain, but it seems you possess substantial wealth and prefer not to reveal it openly which is why you chose to be in the core section."Jonathan, smiling, retorted, "You have good instincts but you are both right and wrong." His attention then shifted back to the host of the auction."Now unto one of our important items, we now unveil a truly
After the statement, no one else, not even the man adorned in a clown mask 🤡, put forth any additional offers. This was because the primary item of interest was already identified, rendering other propositions inconsequential.Prior to the commencement of the auction, rumors circulated among them about the final item slated for bidding. It was this particular item that captivated their anticipation, and they were determined not to expend their funds on items of peripheral significance.Victor's victorious grin widened as he secured the win, and he subsequently directed his attention towards Jonathan. "Consider the dragon cauldron my gift to you," he declared, a subtle air of mystery surrounding him.Caught off guard, Jonathan couldn't conceal his astonishment. It was a gesture he hadn't anticipated; Victor had not pursued the coveted item for himself but rather for Jonathan.Curiosity mingled with gratitude, Jonathan questioned, "Who are you really?" Despite the enigma, he accepted
Victor's pursuers wasted no time in tailing him, their focus unwavering. Despite the presence of his companions – Michael, Ella, and Boss Kent – it was Victor they sought relentlessly.While Victor possessed the ability to discard his mask and reclaim his other identity as a poor and useless son in law, the urgency of the situation left him with no time to change his clothes oe change into an alternate persona. Consequently, he had no choice but to persist as Mr. Parker, evading his pursuers while grappling with the constraints imposed by his current circumstances.Despite Victor being a cultivator in the noble realm alongside Michael and Ella, his current position at the core stage made them reluctant to leave him alone. Although they all shared the same realm, Ella and Michael had surpassed Victor, reaching the peak stage.Ella instructed Michael, "Go assist him; I'll remain here with Kent."Michael promptly acknowledged her command, disappearing in the direction Victor had hastil
That evening, in MidRidge, the airport buzzed with activity as reporters and dignitaries crowded the scene. Notably, the heads of the top four families, who were usually a symbol of authority and composure, now bore expressions marred by displeasure. All but one of them.The delicate equilibrium meticulously maintained for numerous years had, at last, unraveled, tipping the scales in favor of a single family. The once shared dominance now belonged solely to the Morris family, and this shift in power was palpable in the atmosphere.The architect of this transformative change was none other than James Morris, the son of the Morris family patriarch and also the brother of Cynthia.His influence had propelled their family to the forefront, disrupting the longstanding power balance among the top four families in MidRidge.Throughout the nation of Varisia, the military held a revered status, diligently safeguarding the nation's borders against potential intruders. Despite MidRidge not b
"Moving on to the next issue at hand. Recently, my sister fell victim to an assault perpetrated by two individuals within the city, and I am determined to see them held accountable for their actions. The first wrongdoer is a familiar figure to many, Boss Kent, renowned as the underground King. The second assailant is Victor Parker, a son in law from a third rate family identified as nothing more than a poor loser."Julius, taken aback by this revelation, responded, "Oh, so Victor has crossed paths with you too?"In a synchronized manner, both James and Cynthia redirected their attention towards Julius, posing almost identical inquiries, "Do you happen to be acquainted with him?"Julius let out a sardonic laugh, "Certainly, I'm familiar with him. I can't fathom the workings of his mind or the methods he employs, but he's skillfully evaded every attempt I've made on him before. I suspect there's a link to Boss Kent, and that might be the key. This young man is a practitioner of traditio
After Victor wrapped up his statement, he rose from his seat, accompanied by Martin, Boss Kent, Michael, Ella, and Zion, as they exited the private hall. Observing their departure, James' countenance darkened with fury, leading him to forcefully shatter the glasses of wine in front of him before regaining composure.As Victor and the group made their exit, the resounding crashes reached Victor's ears, prompting him to unleash a mocking laughter and assert in a booming voice, "The battle has not even begun, yet it seems you've conceded defeat already."Realizing that they wouldn't have the audacity to pursue him, Victor, accompanied by his companions, continued forward. As they progressed, they maintained a vigilant watch and strategically advanced toward his private elevator. This exclusive elevator transported them to the uppermost floor, where a sense of liberation washed over Victor."Martin, I have doubts that James will remain passive. It's crucial for us to take the initiativ
