This time, Edwin did not want to take any risks by letting Damien shuffle the cards.

He looked back and called one of his bodyguards, bringing his mouth close to his ears.

"Can you perform the trick I usually teach Damien?"

The bodyguard nodded his head. "I may not do it as well as the young master, but I never fail, boss!"

In reality, what the bodyguard said was true.

Damien had taught him how to deal high-value cards to one person and give the opposite numbers to others.

The bodyguard was the best compared to the other bodyguards.

"Alright! Don't disappoint me, or I'll break both your hands and legs!"

Edwin then turned back to face Darrin.

"Young man, since we don't yet know whether the luck you had was a one-time thing or will happen again, I won't transfer the money until the results of the next game are clear! I hope you don't mind my decision!"

"Of course, Mr. Zhang! I am honored to play with you, so I can learn a lot from you!"

The bodyguard now shuffled the cards, replacing Da

    Darrin revealed the two cards in his hand.One King of Spades and one Queen of Hearts.They were the opposite of Edwin's cards. However, since the King has a higher value than the Queen, it was certain that Darrin won this round.Hahaha!Darrin laughed loudly.At this point, Darius, who was still crouching on the ground, couldn't see what Darrin was doing.But winning twice in a row against Edwin was no mere luck.“This kid seems to have some hidden abilities!”Just like Darius, Ruby, who had been worried that Darrin would lose a lot of money, now smiled widely.“You're amazing, Mr. Carson!” she said without hesitation, her beautiful eyes opening even wider.How could she not?Darrin might have lost a total of 54,750,000 in the first twenty rounds. However, he managed to win one hundred million in the last two rounds.“Mr. Zhang, I'm sure it's thanks to your guidance that I could have such great luck in card playing! I don't know how to thank you enough!”Darrin might have seemed to s

    Edwin stared intently at Darrin, having a bit of trouble hiding his sly smile.“Are you sure you’ll let me shuffle the cards? It’s nothing, but those who shuffle the cards should be people you can’t doubt even a little, no matter the outcome. So, will you have no objections to the results?”Feeling that his words might make Darrin distrust him, Edwin continued.“But, of course, you don’t need to worry because I’ll try my best to stay neutral. So, ...”Before Edwin could finish his sentence, Darrin interrupted him.“Go ahead and shuffle the cards, Mr. Zhang! I can’t wait to beat you again!”Darrin kept the smile on his face.“Alright! Of course, I will!”Edwin ordered his bodyguard to gather all the cards on the table.After that, he briefly examined each card.Since Edwin was an extremely skilled card player, he could remember the position of each card with just a glance.“This is my last chance! I can't mess it up!”Edwin planned to deal himself two aces and give Darrin two Queens.T

    Edwin kept staring at Darrin with a wide smile on his face."Since I won this last round, I don't need to transfer anything, right?"His laughter started softly but grew louder and louder."Young man, I admit you're very lucky! But, as I told you, I'm much luckier than you!"Edwin reached into his pocket to take out his cigar. Playing with Darrin had made him a little dizzy. He had to admit that the last three rounds were some of the toughest games he'd ever played.Just as Edwin was about to light his cigar, Darrin's voice rang in his ears again. But this time, it wasn't in a sad tone or one that implied any defeat."Mr. Zhang, how can you say that you won? Wasn't it me who won?""Hahaha! Young man, enough with your jokes! One of my aces was a spade, how can you say I'm not the winner?""Mr. Zhang, take another look!"Edwin paused lighting his cigar and then looked at Darrin, who was smiling very broadly."You fool! What else does this damned kid want?"Reluctantly, Edwin lowered his

    Edwin stared at Darrin with unmistakable horror in his eyes.No one had ever dared to confront him before, let alone defeat his bodyguards.But today, everything was different.To Edwin, Darrin suddenly appeared like a war god descending from the heavens to teach him a lesson!Darrin rose from his seat and slowly walked towards the old man.“I told you I would learn from you, didn’t I? This is what I’ve learned!”As he said this, Darrin lifted one foot and stomped on Edwin’s hand, which was still on the table.Darrin understood that when dealing with someone like Edwin, he couldn’t show any emotion or mercy.“People like him, if you don’t step on them, they’ll crush you without hesitation!”Darrin didn’t want to let someone like Edwin hold power, or countless others would suffer.“Aaargh!”Edwin felt his hand bones about to shatter at that moment.“The longer you delay the transfer, the more pain you’ll endure!”“Aaargh! Please, please stop! I’ll transfer the money right now!”Darrin

    Edwin changed the recipient’s name as Darrin requested.Once the transfer process was complete, the young man lifted his foot from the old man’s palm.Edwin could finally breathe a sigh of relief because Darrin was no longer stepping on his hand.However, his suffering did not end there.The young man quickly directed the sole of his foot to Edwin's other hand.Crack!“Aaargh!”The sound of bones breaking was heard for the second time, coinciding with Edwin losing consciousness.Darrin did not intend to torture Edwin. He hoped that by doing so, it would stop the old man from his evil deeds.“That’s your punishment for what you’ve done all this time!”But that wasn't all. Darrin then carefully took the old man’s phone and typed in a few numbers.“All the evidence of this man’s crimes is on this phone. We can give it to the police!”After that, Ruby called some staff members.After all of Edwin’s henchmen were subdued, no one could stop them anymore.“I’ve called the police! They’ll be

    Darrin leaned his head against the chair.From the balcony on the highest floor of this Luxury Hotel, he could indeed see the beauty of Starlight City at night. However, the stars above looked far more beautiful in his eyes."It seems I really can't say anything more to Emily!"Darrin had actually come to the Luxury to ask his best friend to cancel her engagement to Max.But, seeing the attitude she showed, Darrin seemed to understand one thing."It's not her who wants to maintain this engagement plan, but Max."In Darrin's mind, now there was only one way to cancel the engagement."Only by taking down Max and his family will Emily be free from them!"Besides that, there was another thing Darrin had to think about now.After acquiring the Luxury, he had another plan in his mind. "Is it time for me to start my own company?"He had the money. Although he might feel that he was not yet used to managing a company, he could still hire someone reliable.In his mind, Darrin not only wanted t

    Cindy was very certain that the young man in front of her would soon be sprawled on the ground.However, in just the next second, she saw something she had never seen before.Darrin twisted his body very quickly and nimbly to dodge those bullets.What?How shocked she was.It was something impossible for a human to do.Let alone an elite shooter like her. Even if it was an amateur shooter, Darrin wouldn't have had time to dodge.However, what happened before her eyes was truly unbelievable.Only, Cindy was used to being in such complicated situations that she reflexively pulled the triggers of both her pistols simultaneously once more for the second time.Bang!Bang!Cindy aimed her pistols at Darrin again.Just like before, Darrin moved his body very quickly to dodge those bullets.Bang!Bang!Cindy kept firing the bullets in her pistols until they were completely empty.However, not only did Darrin not fall to the ground, but none of her bullets hit him.Cindy stood still in her pla

    The next day.Darrin was sitting on the balcony, enjoying the morning air when a knock at the door caught his attention.“Mr. Carson, what would you like for breakfast?”It was Ruby, wearing a knee-length maroon dress that fit her perfectly.Not only did it make her look more elegant, but the girl also looked much more beautiful than before.Darrin didn’t say anything. His gaze couldn’t move away from the girl for a moment.All this time, Darrin had been used to meeting beautiful girls. However, beauty like Ruby’s was something rare.Only Laura could match her.On the other hand, being looked at like that by Darrin made the girl's heart flutter.She lowered her head a little out of embarrassment, her cheeks already flushed.“Mr. Carson, I’ll leave if you don’t need anything!”Ruby said this to tease Darrin.“Oh, Miss Parker, please wait a moment! I just want a salad!”“Alright, I’ll have the staff prepare it for you!”A few minutes later, Darrin was enjoying the salad leisurely.“Mr.

    Darrin nodded. "I understand, my queen."The way Darrin answered made Helena blush again. She was now confident that she could give the item to him.Once the earring was in his hand, Darrin removed the green gem that was its pendant and attached it to his Moreau necklace.Green and red light emanated from the necklaces, reaching as far as the clouds and piercing them.At that moment, a light appeared from behind the clouds. Moments later, a female figure, adorned in gold from head to toe, smiled at him. Darrin immediately knelt down, for the woman's features indicated that she was the Moon Goddess Fenrisar had described."Since you have completed your first trial, accept this as your reward." The goddess raised the golden staff in her hand, and a golden ray descended to the earth and merged with Darrin's body.The goddess then vanished. But Darrin felt something strange happening to his body.He raised his hand and saw it transform into water, fire, earth, air, and all the elements of

    "Why? Why are you doing this? No!"Splash!Darrin's scream faded as his body fell into the water. But the scream continued to echo in his heart even as his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake."Why did you sacrifice yourself for me? Why didn't you let me do it for you?"Darrin felt completely devastated. Not only because he had failed to protect the princess, but also because he had failed to protect his other loved ones before."Why does everyone close to me have to suffer such a tragic fate? Why can't I protect them?"The regret and grief grew stronger in his heart as his body sank deeper into the lake.At the same time, he felt his chest tighten and it became difficult to breathe. It seemed that Helena's plan to save Darrin would end in failure, as the young man's weakened body made it impossible for him to use any internal energy or technique to help him breathe.Darrin understood this, and it only deepened his regret."If only you had gone into the lake instead, perhaps

    "Greetings to you, Mother!" The Dark Knight could not contain the joy in his heart as he saw the young woman rise from the ground and look in his direction. "I-I know you may not have expected us to rouse you from your slumber. But..."The Dark Knight did not hesitate to reveal his intentions to the young woman who was, after all, his biological mother. "We've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and we need your help."The Dark Knight continued to pour his heart out. Although it had been a long time since he had last spoken to his mother, he was not embarrassed to say anything."Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. It's about the position of Prime Minister in the kingdom. Since I'm the one who woke you up, would you be willing to give me that position?"All this time, the Dark Knight had seemed obedient to Theobaldus, or even to his nephew Nicolaus. Yet deep in his heart, he held a grudge against them."But I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't want the title. I

    Spurt!At the edge of the lake, Darrin vomited large amounts of water from his mouth after Helena had pumped his chest several times. After that, it was clear that Darrin was gasping for air, as if he had run out of oxygen. But he still couldn't open his eyes."Darrin, wake up!""Wake up, Darrin!"He faintly heard a soft and melodious voice in his ear. At the same time, a gentle hand stroked his cheek.When Darrin finally managed to open his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure sitting right in front of him."Your Highness..."Helena was no longer wearing the leather mask that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. With her hair and clothes still wet, she looked exceptionally beautiful."Thank goodness you're awake!" Helena couldn't hide the happiness on her face as she saw the young man begin to open his eyes. Darrin might not be able to see it, but the feelings in the princess's heart for him had grown much deeper and stronger than before.Earlier, when Helena had seen Nicolaus about to hit

    When Hector left Arcadia, he probably never imagined that his plans would change so quickly. Originally, he intended to take the vial, give it to Darrin and leave. Unexpectedly, he lost Darrin sooner than he expected.And after seeing the cold form of Queen Marielle lying in the coffin, it was as if he could see the end of the world through her. This sight only strengthened his resolve."All right, one more time!" Hector had made up his mind to destroy the vial. No matter what he had to do, no matter how great the sacrifice, he would do it.Catching his breath and releasing his right hand that had been held by his left, Hector tried to rise from his sitting position, preparing for the next attack."Don't even think about trying that again, because I won't just stand by!" Nicolaus pointed his finger at Hector's face from the other end. Apparently, he was not ready to give up so easily either. "I will destroy you, or vice versa!"Both men had suffered severe injuries to their right hand

    The incident threw the top of the tower into chaos. The mages immediately rushed to the stairs and descended hastily. Meanwhile, the soldiers below stood on alert. They did not approach the top of the tower, nor did they dare do so without Nicolaus' orders. But they were ready at a moment's notice."Darrin!" Hector shouted, clenching both fists. He knew how devastating the strike of a cultivator at the peak of the King level could be when unleashed at full power. As he had just witnessed.On the other side, as if Hector's presence meant nothing to him, Nicolaus rose from his kneeling position, clutching the vial in his hand. His face was dark and expressionless. As he moved toward the coffin, he himself opened the grandmother's mouth."Nicolaus, I beg you, at least listen to my explanation!" Hector fought to control his anger, trying to speak to the ruler of Green Island with a cool head. "I don't want to force you to change your mind, but please listen to me."Nicolaus lifted his eye

    Nicolaus asked gently, a smile on his face. His demeanor naturally made Helena feel a little more at ease, allowing her to speak her heart without fear."Yes, Your Majesty. I am very worried that he won't be able to cure them without this medicine. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could spare a little for him."Helena spoke with bright eyes, as if she was doing something very important for herself. But at that moment, her face suddenly tensed. "Oh no, what did I just say?" she thought to herself. "I made a huge mistake!"And just as she had feared, Nicolaus' face turned red. Extremely red."My God, what will happen now?" As she thought this, Helena could see the change in the king's expression. It was clear that he was suppressing his anger."So it's true what I thought," Nicolaus said in a trembling and frightened tone. "The one in your heart is that bastard, not me! So why did you deceive me with your sweet words?"When Helena accepted Nicolaus' proposal and agreed to marr

    Nicolaus said nothing but lowered his head."Nico, tell me, is this girl the one you're looking for?" Theobaldus shouted, anger and frustration evident in his voice.On the one hand, they had lost the potion, and the position of the full moon in the sky had shifted. Even if they found the potion and revived the queen, it would still be a grave sin for them.On the other hand, he was furious with his nephew for being so blinded by love."You sacrificed the future of the kingdom for a girl? Since when did you become so weak?"His anger made him forget the rule of not speaking ill of anyone in this sacred place."Tell me, are you...""Yes, I am looking for her, uncle. I really am," Nicolaus shouted back.He hated himself for being weak because of his feelings for the girl. But deep in his heart he believed that Helena was really there."I didn't just hear her voice. I could smell her scent. I'm sure it's the same scent I smelled this morning!""What?"Suddenly, Theobaldus jumped. Not bec

    Chapter 337 - The Unexpected Appearance

    The chanting of the mages grew louder as the full moon crept a few degrees from its perfect alignment above the tower. They continued to recite a birthing spell, hoping for the best in the queen's resurrection.After nearly half an hour, the mages suddenly shouted in unison, "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will bless us forever!"Their chant echoed throughout the island. A second later, Nicolaus, Theobaldus, and all the soldiers guarding the area shouted the same mantra. "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will always bless us!"When the echo of the voices died down, the moon was directly above the tower, illuminating the face and body of Queen Marielle as she lay in the glass coffin.Nicolaus and Theobaldus rose from their positions on the floor and approached the coffin."Greetings to you, Mother. Queen, ruler of the universe, and grace to the world." As he spoke, Theobaldus kissed the queen on the cheek.At that moment, there was a stark contrast between Queen Marielle and Theoba
