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
Theophilus let out a cold laugh then curiously said: "Do you think Stuart can defeat me?""Don't misunderstand, Theophilus, I'm not using Master Stuart to threaten you, I've already lost this time.""Theophilus, you didn't kill Lynwood back in Radiant Harbor because you were afraid of upsetting grandfather, right? You feared the authority of the Jake family.""If that's the case, why do you insist on killing me now?"Newton had nearly exhausted all his strength and wit in begging for mercy, leveraging every relationship he had.Theophilus shook his head, whispering: “Like you said, you have more influence than Lynwood. I didn't kill Lynwood because he wasn't worth it.""Theophilus doesn't kill insignificant people."As soon as Theophilus finished speaking, he stomped hard on Newton's chest.A loud explosion sounded, the floor shook for a moment, the ceiling cracked open, and debris rained down."Aah!"Newton roared in pain, blood spewing from his mouth, despair and unwillingness in hi
Today's events have had a profound impact.Merely sharing some benefits from the Celestial Dragon city and the business gateway at Ethereal Nexus is still not enough to qualify.If it's a coalition of interests, then naturally, the benefits should be equal.Phineas said: "This is not the place to talk. I also have some business in Fresno city and have prepared a table. I wonder if Young Master Alexander would honor us with his presence?"Theophilus silently thought for a moment and then slightly nodded his head.More than twenty minutes later.Phineas's convoy arrived in front of an ancient tea house in Fresno city.Theophilus's car also stopped here.The tea house, named Perfumed Tower, was decorated in a very ancient and elegant manner.Phineas went upstairs first, instructing the elite Azure Dragon-Guard under his command to guard the door.It was evident that this was his business in Fresno.Theophilus led Dulcie upstairs, telling her to wait in the adjacent tea room.On the way h
