Suddenly, everyone's view of Theophilus changed.If Theophilus really belonged to one of those families, then Mr. Perez and those who had surrounded him today were truly unlucky.Old man Perez's head also tingled; he had thought the young man before him was just a talent with some strength, but now it seemed not."Young man, your strength is indeed formidable, but we have been renowned for many years, and we do have our trump cards. Just swear you won't bother us, and the agreement we spoke of earlier will still hold!" Linus said darkly, speaking softly.Theophilus scoffed with disdain. Just moments ago, they had treated him like a mere annoyance, and now they wanted a truce—it was too late!"Give it your all!"Old man Perez shouted, his voice waves growing more intense.Linus and Latham also stirred the vital energy within them, staring intently at Theophilus.Theophilus smiled slightly, ready to make his move.Suddenly, he frowned and looked to the south."A master is coming from th
Uncle Mark slowly emerged from the shadows. He wasn’t a Human Immortal who took the path of an assassin and had no intention of protecting Keagan, but now, unexpectedly, Keagan regarded him as a lifeline.“This time, we will not get involved!” Snow stepped forward and declared loudly.She was no longer as calm as before. In this Pineview Preparatory secret realm, it wasn’t uncommon for half-step Human Immortals to overpower full Human Immortals. There were always a few in every era, but not like Theophilus, who had Keagan begging for his life after just three moves.Seeing that the unfamiliar Human Immortal didn’t want to intervene, Keagan suddenly stepped back and said to Theophilus: “Theophilus, if you agree to forget our grudges, I am willing to recommend you to the Nichols family. With your talent, you will surely be valued by the Nichols family, and even Earthly Immortal is not far off!”“Ha!”Theophilus gave a cold laugh, stepped closer to Keagan, his sword qi enveloping him, re
"Open for me!"Theophilus's innate energy burst forth wildly, his sword qi continuously clearing the path ahead."Whoosh!"Three minutes later, Theophilus shook himself, darting through the hundred-meter path and out of the reach of the deathly qi, arriving outside the magic array."Finally made it out, the Divine Realm outside couldn't pass through that array; looks like they'll have to leave empty-handed this time."Theophilus chuckled softly.He looked up, and the scene before him resembled the Sword Washing Lake of the Jake family on Jake Wolves Mountain.It was an ancient mountain cave, with a precious sword embedded in the middle of a rock formation. Despite hundreds of years passing, one could still sense the sharp aura from it, next to the sword lay an ancient chest.Theophilus smoothly walked over to the stone platform, unimpeded by any magic formations.He reached out and grasped the long sword."Hum!"The sword seemed sentient, Theophilus could clearly feel its excitement.
"Young Master Alexander, do you really intend to reject the invitation of the patriarch?" "I'm not Alexander, my last name is Jake." "But you still carry the bloodline of the Alexander family." "The moment they cast my mother out of the Alexander house, I ceased to have any connection with that family." Late afternoon in Elysian Echo City, on X-A13 Street, a luxurious black Bentley stood out amidst the bustling cityscape like a swan among ducks, drawing the eyes of passersby. At a street food stand, a handsome young man was cleaning up his barbecue tools and cart. An elderly man in black stepped out of the Bentley and bent over the food stand, seemingly pleading with the young man. "Young Master, you know, what happened that year was out of necessity. Although it caused distress to the lady, you were never cast out... Over a year ago, when the old master was gravely ill, we spent a year searching for you, spending vast sums and utilizing numerous contacts. It was a tremendous ef
In the grand hall, which occupied an immense area, decorated in an elegant, ancient Eastern architectural style, a red carpet was laid out. The esteemed guests of the Miller family gradually took their seats. Dulcie, carrying an exquisite gift box, approached the bride, smiling said: "Jena, congratulations on your wedding, wishing you a lifetime of harmony." Jena's face was delicate, with fair skin and a beautiful appearance, her demeanor arrogant, but overall, compared to Dulcie, she still fell a bit short. She looked at Dulcie indifferently and said: "Put the gift over there." "Jena, I'll go with you for a while." Dulcie said with a smile. "No need. You don't have to fuss over me, I know what you're up to, and as for your father's matter, my family won't help." Jena replied coldly, without any consideration. The smile on Dulcie's face froze, replaced by an unmistakable look of dejection. She clenched her fists, her delicate body trembling slightly. Before marrying Theophilus,
Dulcie's home was in the Groundswell apartment complex, a building ten years old, showing its simple and worn appearance. It didn’t quite fit the status of someone from the Miller family of Elysian Echo City. Upon reaching home, Theophilus's in-laws, Anselm and Ariel, were sitting on the sofa with serious expressions. "Hmph!" Ariel scoffed: "Theophilus, you still have the face to come back to this house?" "We already know what happened at the wedding today. Theophilus, you really are unlucky! You ruined everything that was going well!" Ariel stood up and scolded loudly. "Forget it, mom, stop it. It’s not Theophilus's fault. The Oldest uncle had no intention of helping us." Dulcie intervened. Upon hearing this, Ariel grew even more furious, angrily saying: "This foolish girl, you're still defending him? Hasn't he harmed you enough? Without him, wouldn't you be suffering in poverty right now? You should have married into a powerful family!" "Mom, why do you always want to rely on
“What does this person look like?” Magnus inquired. “A young man, about twenty years old." the secretary replied. “Let him in." Magnus said seriously, still puzzled: "A young man in his twenties?” Five minutes later, Theophilus was escorted by the secretary to the chairman's office on the sixtieth floor. Theophilus sat down with ease. The middle-aged man, exuding a commanding presence, observed him closely with a serious expression. “Who are you?” Magnus asked suspiciously, unable to fully gauge the young man before him. “Do you recognize this?” Theophilus presented a strikingly green Jade Amulet. The Jade Amulet Command bore intricate patterns, with the James family name prominently engraved in the center. “What is this?” Magnus was visibly startled as he beheld the Jade Amulet Command, his mind reeling. This was a Jade Amulet Command, symbolizing a status within the James family, of which only a few existed. Even as the family spokesperson, he didn’t possess one... He rec
Meanwhile, at another location. The Miller family’s jewelry corporation was in the X-Peak Building. The building, towering over twenty stories, bustled with activity. Employees hurried back and forth, their faces etched with urgency, as if a significant crisis had unfolded. On the twenty-third floor, in the conference room. The Miller family’s board of directors convened an emergency meeting. Around the large and long conference table sat over twenty people. All the influential and wealthy members of the Miller family in Elysian Echo City were present. “What’s going on? Why is the corporation suddenly in such chaos?” “Big brother, what happened? I was just playing golf, and after several urgent calls, I rushed back for this meeting. All our major clients have canceled their contracts with us.” “With the corporation in such turmoil, did we offend someone? Why else would our assets be frozen so suddenly?” The room buzzed with noisy discussions, the shareholders anxious and worr
