After Ariel mentioned Theophilus, the men and women at the Miller family's dining table all covered their mouths and burst into laughter.Because before that, Ariel herself always reproached Grandfather Miller for finding a useless son-in-law for Dulcie in front of them, saying he was worth nothing, not even comparing to a family dog.Now, she's saying Theophilus is a Young Master in Radiant Harbor? With money and power?Isn't she slapping her own face?"Oh, my dear sister, I'm telling the truth. Theophilus is not as simple as he appears, he is a Young Master with status in Radiant Harbor. Back then, our grandfather Miller had a keen eye, he really knew how to pick people, no wonder he wanted to marry Dulcie to him.” Ariel blushed."Ariel, stop it, are you not ashamed to uphold such a useless man to save face?", Riley mocked: "I've heard about the uselessness of Theophilus in Elysian Echo City, and you've been telling us about it too. Now, really embarrassed, so you use a useless guy
Then, the sound of car doors opening and closing was heard, a group of robust bodyguards swiftly jumped out of the SUVs.Edric led a team of more than a dozen skilled bodyguards, quickly surrounding the area.These men were Richard's underlings in Elysian Echo, all of them were core and skilled individuals.Normally, in Elysian Echo, Richard strictly followed Theophilus's instructions, always having a few cars discreetly follow Dulcie whenever she went out, silently ensuring Mrs. Jake's safety.This time, when Dulcie left for Onyx Vela County, Richard put aside all his work and secretly went to Onyx Vela County, arranging the best martial artist, Edric, to always lead people in protecting Mrs. Jake's safety."Mrs. Jake, please step behind me, Boss Jake instructed us to always ensure your safety.""Edric Yi?" Dulcie, hearing herself being called Mrs. Jake, looked incredibly surprised, looking towards Edric, and upon recognizing him, her eyes turned to shock.At this moment, her feeling
Riley gave Ariel and her husband a teasing look, as if wanting to embarrass them."Oh. Let Anselm and Ariel make the call, they need to pretend to have influence, let them prove it.” Broderick said relaxedly: "I also want to see how skilled one must be to just drop the chopsticks and leave in the middle of a meal. Huh, really thinks she's the CEO?".After hearing Riley and her spouse's words, Ariel and Anselm both looked upset, both trying to hold back.These two couples verbally sparred all day, neither conceding to the other, constantly mocking each other.Dulcie, unable to bear their mockery, had left the chopsticks and gone, and since then, there had been no phone contact."Is that how you talk about your niece, making us actually believe that? You look down on whom?", Ariel retorted: "We've received a call, saying he will come to Onyx Vela district, then you two just wait and see"."Hey, it's not like that, we're all family here, we don't look down on you.” Broderick said in a st
"Sigourney."Sigourney spoke tersely."Theophilus, don't you want to know where your wife is?""Did you kidnap Dulcie?"Theophilus asked coldly, his hoarse voice revealing intense killing intent."Correct, Dulcie is in my hands. Do you want to save your wife?""What do you want to achieve by doing this?" Theophilus asked calmly."You guess.” Sigourney laughed coldly."If Dulcie suffers the slightest harm, I will make you regret it for life.” Theophilus darkly warned."Ha, still daring to threaten me at this point: "If you want to save your wife, then you must follow our arrangements and orders.""Of course, before that, I can let you hear Dulcie's voice.” Sigourney slowly said: "I can also show you what state she's in."On the highway, in the back seat of a fast-moving black Bentley.Theophilus's face was extremely grim, holding the phone in his hand.The icy look in his eyes revealed intense killing intent, causing both Hades and Jethro in the car to feel chilled."What's wrong, Theo
If Theophilus's identity as the heir of Mysterious Royal-X and the keeper of its supreme manual were to be revealed.It would surely lead to a relentless bloodstorm in the secluded world, potentially altering the fate of the world, even attracting the international underworld to hunt Theophilus.But this secret, only Theophilus and the Black-Dragon King knew.After learning of Theophilus's true identity, the Black-Dragon King didn't inform Mr. Watson - the current Master of Mysterious Royal-X, nor did the Blue Dragon King near Radiant Harbor know Theophilus's real identity.His intention was to monopolize the secret techniques Theophilus possessed, even contemplating making Theophilus his subordinate.The ambition of the Black-Dragon King was immense.So great that he aimed to monopolize the underworld of Empyria and overthrow Mysterious Royal-X.And to achieve his ambition, Theophilus... was the most crucial individual."Snake General, how did Theophilus respond to Sigourney?"The Bl
Meanwhile.Onyx Vela town.In an old and busy street, there's an old-fashioned restaurant.In a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Theophilus sat upright in the central position, his face emotionless, his dark eyes emitting a chilling sharpness that was frightening.Opposite him, Richard and Jethro sat uneasily.Both were anxiously worried, their expressions tense.They could feel, beneath boss Jake's calm demeanor, how much killing intent had accumulated.Mrs. Jake's abduction had undoubtedly touched boss Jake's raw nerve."Mr. Jake... This incident is due to my negligence; I hope you will reprimand me.” Richard spoke first, his face showing embarrassment as he stood up and said: “All that I have was given by Mr. Jake. If Mr. Jake is angry, then please go ahead and punish me; I am willing to take full responsibility.""Boss Jake, I also bear responsibility for this matter... I have nothing else to say, it's up to Boss Jake to decide how to handle it."Jethro also sud
"Theophilus, you want to see your wife, don't you? If you want to see her, then beg me.” Sigourney Lee said with a tone of mockery, speaking coldly to him.Theophilus sneered: "You're still not qualified to negotiate with me. Summon the Black-Dragon King to meet me."Frankly, he didn't regard anyone present here highly.Only the Black-Dragon King had the authority to discuss this matter.Theophilus understood very well.Without the Black-Dragon King's command, surely no one dared to harm even a hair on Dulcie.The Black-Dragon King's intention was crystal clear; he wanted to seize the Mysterious Royal-X secret technique from him.This person had been plotting meticulously for a long time, not allowing any loopholes at the crucial moment.Before obtaining the Mysterious Royal-X secret technique, the Black-Dragon King would not dare to provoke him."Ha ha ha. Theophilus, you're still defiant at this point?", Sigourney Lee coldly regarded Theophilus: "Do you think you can safely return a
Boom! At that moment, as the crowd dispersed, a loud noise echoed across the arena. Snake General, like a formidable machine descending from the sky, slammed hard into the middle of the battlefield, shrouding the sky in dust. A palm strike from above unleashed an incredibly terrifying righteous energy, his powerful force causing the ground within a dozen meters to instantly sink. The strength of this single strike astounded everyone present, exceeding human comprehension. Especially Theophilus, who stood with his hands clasped behind his back in the middle of the arena, bearing the brunt of it. Theophilus remained unfazed when faced with such a strong attack, raising his hand to welcome the palm strike. One was above the heavens, the other grounded. Their clash generated a fierce and violent air current around them, causing the nearby road to crack and debris to fly, appearing quite fearsome. Snake General was astonished, sweat beading on his forehead, his body frozen mid-air,
