The next day, it was only when the sun was high that they were startled awake by loud knocking. Theophilus, using his spiritual sense, knew immediately who was outside.It was his mother-in-law, whom he suspected was out of money and here to cause trouble again.Theophilus dressed and saw Dulcie still asleep, so he quietly locked the door and stepped out.Knock knock knock!The knocking grew more insistent. Theophilus frowned and opened the door."Theophilus, where's Dulcie?"Ariel led Riley into the room and headed straight for the bedroom."Dulcie is sleeping, don't disturb her."Theophilus blocked their way, speaking softly."What sleep? What is more important, her sleep or the fact that her mother is about to be driven to death?", Ariel glared at Theophilus, then reached out to pull him aside.But Theophilus didn't budge, his strength far beyond Ariel’s."Doesn't the lady understand English? I said Dulcie is sleeping, we can talk when she wakes up!", Theophilus glared at them cold
"Young Master Alexander, Ms. Walker is inside!"Magnus James stood behind Theophilus, with Phelan not far off. Magnus James looked at the sign overhead and muttered discontentedly, "Mr. Brown's daughter is also studying inside."Magnus had changed a lot, aided by Spring Life and his martial arts training since childhood, though without a master's guidance, he could have already made a breakthrough to the Heavenly tier.Phelan was a Heavenly tier master, sent by Theophilus to Radiant Harbor to assist Magnus in his training.Theophilus shook his head and sighed,"Let's go meet them, after which I'll leave."Theophilus, not using telepathy, casually put on his gloves and headed towards the school, followed closely by Magnus and Phelan.The Film Academy in Radiant Harbor was the largest star-making institution in all of Empyria, having produced numerous famous actors and directors. Only those seeds with potential future stardom were admitted here, making it a beauty-filled paradise desire
The relationship between Magnus and the head of the Radiant Harbor Chamber of Commerce, Isidore, was excellent. Normally, there were many things their company couldn't get past the Chamber of Commerce.Moreover, there were rumors that behind Magnus and Isidore stood another significant figure. No one in all of Empyria dared disrespect that person.The female star, still by his side, whispered softly, "Director Lippman, that Maegan girl really doesn't listen at all. Freeze her out for a while, teach her a good lesson! Can someone else play the lead in Maegan’s next movie?"After speaking, she hugged Uriah's arm and rubbed against it a few times.These past months, Maegan had become very famous, causing many in the entertainment industry to turn green with envy."Slap!"The female star had just finished speaking when Uriah pulled his hand away and slapped her hard."Director Lippman, why did you hit me?"The female star held her face and rolled on the bed, asking in disbelief."If you s
Rafael could not endure any longer; he collapsed to the ground, his voice trembling: "Young Master Alexander, it was my blindness that did not see the mountain; I didn’t know Maegan was your girlfriend, please forgive me this time, Sunset Valley Corporation will do everything possible to make amends to Young Master Alexander.""That's right."Uriah murmured, "The Lippman family is willing to do our utmost to compensate Young Master Alexander and Ms. Brown.""It's not that I can't give you a chance," Theophilus looked at them with a mocking gaze and said, "As long as you do one thing, I might forgive you!""Please state your conditions, Young Master Alexander!" Uriah gritted his teeth, ready to bleed if it meant Theophilus’s forgiveness."It’s simple, you must cancel the contract Maegan just signed, and write a new one without any conditions," Theophilus said calmly."That's no problem," Uriah hurriedly replied, thinking it was going to be a huge deal, only to find it was just this min
Theophilus flew straight ahead, encountering beasts much larger than those in the outside world, perhaps because this place was at the edge of a mysterious realm, where the concentration of spiritual energy was four to five times higher than outside. Earlier, while flying, he had effortlessly dealt with a snake as thick as a water barrel coiled around a tree that attacked him."Cultivation here is much faster than in the outside world, and according to Malcolm, every major and minor family in this realm has its own sacred ground for cultivation, where the speed of cultivation is ten times faster than in the outside world.” he thought as he flew.About an hour later, Theophilus finally sensed people ahead—more precisely, four men chasing a man and a woman."Wilson, are you sure you want to attack us? Aren't you afraid of my family's Liles' retribution?" Dempsey Liles shouted as he shielded a young woman behind him, staring at Wilson not far away, his eyes filled with hatred. If it hadn
The mysterious elder appeared annoyed, thinking, was he considered a naive toddler? He had never encountered anyone from Meditation so young with such formidable power."Kid, you must understand, I am a guest of the Nichols royal family. You should think carefully before offending me; I might even know your elders!""Based on you alone?" Theophilus looked down disdainfully and said coldly: “The Nichols family invites guests as weak as you? Knowing my elders, are you worthy?"'What a coincidence!'Theophilus couldn't help but marvel internally, not expecting to encounter a guest of the Nichols family so soon after entering this secret realm."You..."The guest of the Nichols family, truly there because of his senior brother's connections, was enraged. If it weren't for having a senior brother in the Human Immortal Realm, the Nichols family wouldn't have bothered with him."Kid, since you refuse the wine I offered and prefer punishment, today I'll send you straight to heaven."The elder
The person in front of him was clearly a woman disguised as a man, but her technique was terribly clumsy. Anyone who wasn't blind could see that she was a woman, and moreover, she wasn't very old.Theophilus looked at the person masquerading as a man with a serious gaze. Just now, he had felt a threat emanating from her.The strength of the woman before him hadn't yet surpassed the Late Divine Realm, but she could still make someone on the verge of breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm like him feel threatened."Tsk, tsk!"The woman in disguise looked at Theophilus and the others, then said regretfully: “Your strength is too weak; you definitely won't get anything good. Moreover, the Earthly Immortal treasure opens only once every fifty years, and it has already opened ten times now; there’s nothing good left.""Fifty years for one opening?" Dempsey exclaimed.The woman looked at the three men in surprise: "You don’t know? This Earthly Immortal treasure was discovered decades a
"Ha ha!"Theophilus scoffed, having already discerned the intentions of this group. They were all ruthless and cruel individuals. Although some had been half-stepping into the Human Immortal Realm for a while, their potential had nearly depleted, with no hope of breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm.He wasn't afraid of these people; moreover, he wanted to make a name for himself after this battle. Only then would he have a chance to connect with the truly powerful clans, and only through cultivating with those forces could he hope to break through to the Human Immortal Realm."With just you folks trying to defeat me?" Theophilus mocked."Young man, your strength is indeed impressive. Your sword energy could kill the wolf of the Wolf Lord. I might not stand a chance against you in a duel, but you're too arrogant. Do you really think you can defeat the four of us?" Ludwig said bluntly."One useless person multiplied by four still wants to gang up, huh?" Theophilus replied calmly
