Upon returning to his residence, Theophilus saw Dulcie pacing back and forth inside, with his grandfather Seymour Jake sitting in front of the door smoking.Seeing Theophilus return, Dulcie hurried over, joyfully saying:"Theophilus, are you alright?""I'm fine! What could possibly happen to me?" Theophilus passed by, grabbing Dulcie's small hand and smiling."That's good, I'll head in first.” Dulcie said, then turned and went into her room. Seymour Jake had been waiting for Theophilus, clearly having something he wanted to discuss."Wolfgang, how did it go?"Lynwood Jake took a puff of his cigarette and asked."Tomorrow great-grandfather will take me to the Sword Cleansing Lake.” Theophilus replied with a smile.Hearing Theophilus's words, Lynwood smiled:"The elder has accepted you, that's good. After you return from the Sword Cleansing Lake, what do you plan to do?""Leave the mountain or stay here?""Grandfather knows you're a person who does great things and doesn't want to stay
In first class.Theophilus was reviewing the information about Quantum Ridge that his grandmother had given him, and then he continuously frowned.Theophilus's face was very handsome.Which made the beautiful woman sitting next to him keep looking at him.Occasionally, she would change her posture, posing attractively in front of Theophilus.She was just waiting for the handsome Theophilus to come over and start a conversation.Her name was Karina Young.She was an extremely beautiful woman.The yellow light from the window shone on her, making her delicate figure particularly enchanting.Long black hair, a refined face like a porcelain doll, and an extremely attractive body,She had always been used to being surrounded by admiring men.But the handsome man sitting next to her today was different.From the moment she boarded the plane, Karina Young had noticed this handsome man, whose gentle eyes turned sharp after looking at the documents.Those heroic eyes had captivated her.Time p
After saying that, Theophilus locked his room door. He had noticed that this girl was being followed for a while, and among those following her, some were far stronger than this bodyguard.If they don't leave now, they won't be able to when they want to."Of course, I will ensure the safety of my mistress, as long as you don't scheme to use this method to get her attention!"Hearing Kevin's boastful voice outside, Theophilus just coldly smiled, those who can't appreciate others' goodwill will suffer eventually.Before long, Karina had moved next to Theophilus's room.After finishing the meal delivered by the hotel, she waited by Theophilus's side to start a conversation.Many pursued her, but it was the first time she met someone with the demeanor of the handsome guy next door, whose composure seemed unshakable even if mountains crumbled, truly captivating her.Unfortunately, after Theophilus entered his room, there was no further movement.Unable to wait any longer, Karina, holding a
Hearing the mention of the Long family from Quantum Ridge, Theophilus's face remained unchanged, but Karina and Kevin's expressions darkened. It must be understood that the Young family was merely a third-tier clan in the reclusive world, whereas the Long family was a top-tier family at Quantum Ridge, second only to the Gonzalez family.Even in the reclusive world, aside from the six major clans, the Long family was also a leading family, with which the Youngs simply couldn't afford to offend.No wonder Scarred Face had shown disdain when mentioning the Young family earlier."Befriend me?"Theophilus laughed, disdainfully saying: “He's not worthy of being my friend!"Scarred Face's face showed anger, knowing that their young master, barely in his twenties, had made it onto the Human board, surely ranking among the top twenty in the youth generation of the reclusive world. Now, to hear someone speak so insolently, claiming their young master wasn't qualified to be his friend."Brat, wa
The ambulance arrived after a few minutes, followed by the master from the Young family.After receiving Karina's call, Ricky Young - the head of the Young family personally came over, and after seeing that his daughter was unharmed, he sighed in relief."Dad, Kevin's injuries are severe, he needs emergency care. There are three dead, two are ordinary martial artists, and one is a master of the Human rank!"A middle-aged man came to Ricky Young's side, and after seeing Theophilus standing nearby, he whispered to him.Ricky frowned, asking softly: “Karina, who did you offend?""Dad, the people from the Long family wanted to kidnap me!""The Long family!"Upon hearing about the Long family, Ricky was startled. The Youngs couldn't possibly afford to offend the Longs, and now that a master of the Human rank from the Long family was dead, they surely wouldn't let this go.Ricky looked at Theophilus and asked with a smile: “Karina, who is this?""Let me introduce him to you, dad. This is th
"Ha ha!"Otis laughed heartily, casually saying: "Even if my Long family's guard attacked your daughter first, so what? A dog of the Long family is more precious than a person of the Young family.""You kill a dog of mine, I will kill your entire family!""Otis, is there no room for negotiation anymore?"Ricky's face also changed, his Young family was considered a reputable family in Quantum Ridge. Otis, merely a servant of the Long family, dared to declare the annihilation of the Jake family in front of him.Seeing Ricky's face change, Otis disdainfully smiled and said: "Ricky, don't say I didn't give you a chance, today if you can come up with five hundred million, and lend your daughter to our young master Long to play for a few days, we can forget about this.""Otherwise, the entire Young family will have to die!"Ricky's face turned livid with rage, he had heard of the Long family's arrogance before, but he hadn't expected them to be so domineering, ready to kill an entire family
Inside the Long family mansion, in the main hall.The body of Otis was left in the hall, and the dozen or so guards who had followed Otis to the Young household knelt on the ground. Oscar stood at the door scolding the guards."What use is there in keeping you all around if you're so useless?""Otis is dead, and you still have the face to return here?"In the main hall sat a middle-aged man in black martial attire, Napoleon Long, the head of the Long family. Though Napoleon appeared to be in his forties, his actual age was nearly sixty.His younger appearance was due to the skin care effects of his cultivation technique, making him appear younger than the average person."Enough, Oscar!"Napoleon Long spoke up. When he was young, he was obsessed with martial arts, and Oscar was born when he was nearly forty, which led him to be somewhat indulgent towards him, resulting in Oscar's disrespectful behavior.But this was a minor issue. With the influence of the Long family in Quantum Ridge
Gradually, almost no one in Quantum Ridge dared to provoke Tiffany.Now, Tiffany had begun to take over the operations of the Long family, intending to groom her as the next family head. The wealth Tiffany controlled was already more than what many of her elders possessed."Tiffany."Clearly, Tiffany held significant prestige in Quantum Ridge, and upon her entrance into the banquet hall, many of the younger generation from Quantum Ridge families stood up to greet her.Tiffany nodded slightly, glanced at Theophilus, and then turned her gaze towards Benedict.She completely ignored Oscar and Bromley, considering them merely incompetent fools unworthy of her attention.The only person worth her attention was Benedict, noticing the aura around him suggested he might also possess Human-level strength, and she was wary of his status as the Perez heir from Apex Haven."Mr. Perez, Karina is my sister. For my sake this time, what do you think?"Tiffany brushed past Bromley, addressing Benedict
