"Alright, Young Master Jake, you are very straightforward.” Phineas said with a smile: “I seek out Young Master Jake because I want to offer you an opportunity.""I want to open a few paths in Radiant Harbor. Also, I have a business proposition to collaborate with Young Master Theophilus in the six provinces of Ethereal Nexus.” Phineas spoke slowly."I can help Young Master Theophilus secure his footing in the Jake family in Wolves, consider it an exchange condition, I could even help you secure the position of heir."Hearing this, Theophilus immediately became cautious, staring intently into Phineas's eyes.He seemed very ordinary, but his words were shockingly bold, speaking arrogantly.Claiming he could help secure my position as the heir of the Jake family?How could he be so confident?Theophilus pondered for a moment.The elder of the Jake family had announced him as the heir within the reclusive world, certainly causing a stir, drawing many eyes to his existence.But to have so
Phineas laughed coldly, his eyes deepening with scorn: "Lord Azure Dragon, you and old Stuart are considered old friends, you must surely understand that he is a man who takes advantage of his age. Stuart is only useful when needed, otherwise, he just stays in his domain in Sammy province.""Initially, when Mr. Watson transferred power in Empyria to Black-Dragon King, he was one of the most dissatisfied. Mr. Watson even sent people to find him to discuss the Jake family matters, asking him to cooperate, but unexpectedly, the old man evaded, claiming he was too ill to be of any help.""Hmph, if it weren't for old times' sake, Mr. Watson would have disposed of the old man a long time ago.” Phineas snorted coldly, seemingly harboring a grudge against Stuart.Azure Dragon listened expressionlessly, his eyes lighting up.From what he heard, he roughly understood a few things.Stuart was considered the oldest elder in Mysterious Royal-X, and when the previous Master went into seclusion, Stu
The next morning, a private plane from Radiant Harbor landed at Fresno International Airport.Theophilus, accompanied by his wife Dulcie, arrived in Fresno.Fresno County, located in the southeastern coastal region of Empyria, is a flourishing and prosperous land.The city of Fresno is also among the top ten most developed cities in the country.Upon disembarking from the plane, Theophilus and Dulcie immediately felt the allure of the city.Looking into the distance, the sky was blue with white clouds, the environment of the entire city was clean and fresh, the air was pure, and the greening efforts were exceptionally well done."Fresno truly is a beautiful land.” Dulcie observed with curious eyes before admiringly commenting.Theophilus smiled lightly and nodded in agreement."Theophilus, are we here in Fresno to meet your great-grandmother? In Radiant Harbor, I heard some rumors saying that you would face danger this time in Fresno.” Dulcie looked towards Theophilus, questioning.Sh
"Hello, Third Young Master, this humble person is Lorenzo Green, the honorary chairman of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce.” Chairman Green said with a beaming smile at Theophilus: “Incorrect, I heard that the Third Young Master is also the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in Radiant Harbor. Perhaps calling you Chairman Jake would be more appropriate.""Yes, Chairman Green, Theophilus has a significant business presence in Radiant Harbor. There, he is also a very important figure.” Newton said casually: “Both of you are big shots in the commercial world of Empyria; there will surely be opportunities for collaboration.""Oh? Young Master Jake really has such a large empire? I've heard terrifying rumors from the outside, but how come I've never heard of it?" A middle-aged man with short hair and a somewhat mocking look eyed Theophilus."Mr. White, you really are a frog in the well. Young Master Theophilus is a figure who can shake Radiant Harbor with just a stomp. Remember Gabriel from
Boom!Lorenzo suddenly slammed his hand on the table, standing up angrily to look at Theophilus."Who are you calling lowly? Theophilus, don't think too highly of yourself! In Fresno, what can you amount to? We are sparing you out of respect for the second son; otherwise, we would have crippled you today!" Lorenzo said angrily."Ha, Young Master Alexander really has some nerve, thinking this is Radiant Harbor? Is it your turn to show off?" Mr. White also sneered."Theophilus oh Theophilus, do you really think you're that capable? I've investigated you, heard that a few years ago you were living off a small place called Empyria, a useless man. Then you returned to the Alexander family to inherit the fortune and smoothly developed in Radiant Harbor, and that made you think you're a big shot?" Lorenzo mocked, looking down with disdain."If it weren't for the second son holding back, with your words today, I, Lorenzo, guarantee you wouldn't be able to leave this Phelan Hotel!"Newton snee
After this incident, not only would Theophilus be forced to tuck his tail between his legs at the Jake family, Newton himself would also gain more reputation in the Jake family for overwhelming the Third Young Master, Theophilus.It would also show the grandmother that Theophilus, whom she valued, was just a useless person, not even as powerful as Newton!Theophilus's expression remained unchanged, his eyes becoming fiercer.Newton's certainty of victory really made him want to kill.Theophilus only needed one look to gauge the strength of the two elders.These two were not as strong as Tiffany, but were still considered extraordinary masters.Thus, it could be seen how solid the foundation of the Jake family was; the saying that the Jake family was strong as clouds was not an exaggeration.Earth-ranked masters could easily become rulers in their own right in the ordinary world, yet the Jake family continuously produced Earth-ranked masters.The reason was the martial foundation of th
Who dares to arrest Young Master Alexander?"Suddenly, a mature voice was heard.An elderly man with white hair, wearing a light yellow traditional robe, leading a dozen young men with sharp eyes, slowly approached.Phineas led the people here.He slowly walked to Theophilus's side, his face showing a cheerful smile: "I encountered some issues on the way and arrived a bit late. Young Master Alexander, you won't blame me, right?"Theophilus didn't say much, having guessed earlier that Phineas might intervene.It seems this old man has always been watching over him, probably having been at Phelan's hotel for a while now, only making his move at this moment.In response to Theophilus's indifference, Phineas was not angry; he smiled and looked towards Newton, a mocking look in his eyes."These two old men really have some nerve, trying to arrest Young Master Alexander? Have they asked for my opinion yet?"Phineas said proudly, pointing at the two elders of the Jake family.Elder Hernandez
Boom!Newton countered, pushing Theophilus's hand away, then continuously launched attacks at Theophilus.Each of his strikes carried the weight of thousands of pounds, a power that could shatter a small mountain, immensely terrifying.A single move from him was like a dozen punches in succession.Theophilus calmly parried, each defense precise and methodical.At first glance, Theophilus's movements seemed slow, yet they were like a sharp, flexible sword, each maneuver able to neutralize the terrifying force of Newton, and even hitting his vulnerabilities.In just a minute of combat, the two exchanged hundreds of blows.Newton staggered back, forced to retreat, so his expression darkened."Theophilus, how could you discern my weaknesses? How could you make Dragon-Guard follow you?" Newton said in astonishment.Indeed, after a few bouts, the more Newton fought, the more terrified he became.He couldn't see through Theophilus's true strength.The martial arts skills of Theophilus seemed
