Theophilus sits in the back seat, closing his eyes to rest for a few minutes.

The phone rings again.

This time, it's Jethro Lee calling.

Theophilus had given Jethro several billion previously to venture into the business world, but he hadn't contacted Jethro since.

Jethro is a very measured person, unlikely to call unless he encounters an unsolvable issue.

"Boss Jake, are you busy?" Jethro asks respectfully.

"Go ahead." Theophilus replies calmly.

"Boss Jake, after a period of planning, today in the board meeting, I've eliminated all the shareholders aligned with the Charlie family. Now I have complete control over the Blue Sea real estate company. I was planning to report the situation to you." Jethro says urgently, as if under immense pressure.

"But I didn't expect the Charlie family to react so quickly. They've already retaliated!"

"Now the Charlie family has sent people to drive out everyone from the company, and I am trapped in my office, unable to leave." Jethro says seri

    Jethro gritted his teeth, not saying anything, his face filled with pain. "What's wrong? Are you still hesitating? Do you not care about the life and death of your friend's mother?" Uri asked tauntingly: "And I'm curious, who's paying you so much that you're willing to swallow the Charlie family's fortune and still protect him?" "Are you only loyal to that guy, of sacrificing your own mother's life? All for the sake of protecting the person behind you?" Uri sneered. Jethro gave a cold laugh, his voice low: "Do you think I'll be pardoned if I sign this contract? Ha ha. Don't think I'm stupid!" With the kind of morality the Charlie family had, they would do everything they could to uproot him completely. After years of toiling and suffering for the Charlie family, all he received was the wife's infidelity. Now that they've kidnapped his sixty-year-old mother, will the Charlie family let him go? Bang! Uri rushed forward and slapped Jethro in the face, shouting fiercely: "Beat him f

    Theophilus had a devil-like figure with lightning-fast moves and a strength that could easily knock down a buffalo. He was straightforward and decisive, each punch or kick sending a gang member crashing to the ground, clutching their stomachs and howling in pain. "What?! How are you so strong?" Uri's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the scene unfold. He couldn't believe that a young man in a white shirt could take down so many of his accomplices with such ease, despite their size and experience. "Uri, he's too scary!" one of his henchmen gasped, looking at Theophilus with fear and awe. In their eyes, he was like a demon from hell, possessing otherworldly strength and speed. Uri let out a sigh of bitterness. He would not be in this situation if he brought his gun. He had not expected the Blue Sea building to be sealed off, thinking he only needed to deal with small fries like Jethro, who always lounged in air-conditioned rooms. Theophilus approached the window, releasing Je

    "Mr. Jake, the guy at the door downstairs, has taken care of everything." At that moment, a middle-aged man with a stern face dressed in a white martial arts outfit walked into the office. He was followed by a dozen men in black, each with an imposing aura that could crush the Uri gang. Theophilus nodded coolly and said: "Edric, take Uri's gang and leave. Then, drive to find Zahal." "Yes, Mr. Jake!" Edric respectfully nodded and waved his hand. The bodyguards quickly pulled the Uri gang out of the room. "Jethro, I'll hand Uri over to you when we rescue my mother. You can deal with him as you please." Theophilus said indifferently. "Yes, Mr. Jake! Thank you!" Jethro was excited and enthusiastic. Uri realized the situation as soon as he saw Edric enter the room. He immediately understood that he was in trouble. Even Edric called Theophilus "Mr. Jake" and followed his orders? Uri originally planned to seek revenge with Zahal's help, but now he realized that Theophilus was not to be

    After some thought, Zahal suddenly laughed triumphantly and said: "Oron, call Uri and ask what's taking him so long. It's just dealing with one Jethro, right?" Oron took out his phone, dialed the number, and said doubtfully: "It seems like the signal isn't great. I can't get through. I'll go outside and try calling again." With that, Oron left the room. Bam! Not even three seconds after stepping out, Oron was kick flying back into the room, landing with a crash on a bag full of money. The impact was so forceful that the bag ripped open, and bills scattered everywhere. "You don't need to call Uri anymore." Theophilus entered without expression, sitting down confidently, while Jethro stood beside him, giving Zahal an icy stare. "Who the hell are you? How did you get in here?" A thug with a menacing face growled. Theophilus flicked a metal plate at the man's face, sending him flying through the air before crashing to the ground, coughing up blood, his face filled with disbelief.

    "Why wouldn't I dare? If they're human, I'll kidnap them! Is he a deity or something?" Zahal retorted arrogantly: "Is it impossible to kidnap someone with money? Ridiculous! As long as there's money, even if it's a god, I'll dare to kidnap them!" "You!" Jethro wiped the sweat from his brow, speechless by Zahal's reckless audacity. Knowing that Theophilus was wealthy, shouldn't Zahal have immediately surrendered and begged for mercy? Why did he want to extort him? It seemed Jethro had underestimated the madness of this risk-taking group. As long as the profit was sufficient and the money was plentiful, they'd dare to do anything insane. "Kneel quickly, then call someone to bring the money. I'm losing my patience." Zahal said smugly, not caring who this young man calling himself Theophilus Jake was. Whether he was from the Connor or Jones family, defiance would be met with a gunshot to disable their legs before resuming negotiations. If he couldn't bear the consequences, the worst

    “Zahal, you had people kidnap Jethro’s mother and even sent people to beat him up.” Theophilus coldly said: “Your life was given to Jethro by me. If he wants you dead, you must die!” Jethro was fired up, his blood boiling. This was a superior worth dedicating himself to, a person who could achieve great things and whose behavior was beyond beautiful. Carving it into his heart, Jethro respectfully nodded to Theophilus. “Zahal, Mr. Jake handed you over to me. You should know what to do from now on, right?” Jethro spoke in a deep voice, staring intently at Zahal. “I understand, I understand! Chairman Jethro, I sincerely hope you’ll pay more attention to me in the future!” Zahal, sweating profusely, kept apologizing: “I’m truly sorry. Everything before was a misunderstanding! Chairman Jethro, point me in any direction, and I’ll fight for you.” In his heart, Zahal secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This time he truly escaped disaster. Theophilus arranged for him to work under Jethro,

    “Zahal, are you out of your mind? You even dare to hit my husband?” Jena shouted, also furious. They were used to being superior and couldn’t bear such a huge loss. “Shut your mouth, you rotten old hag!” Zahal yelled. Zahal coldly assessed Jena, rumored to have tried to depose Theophilus and blatantly spread numerous nasty rumors about him. Zahal was contemplating how to deal with this wicked woman and seek justice for Theophilus. Jena and Orborne had deliberately tarnished the reputation of Theophilus, useless son-in-law from the Miller family, and now everyone in Elysian Echo’s upper-class circles knew about it. “You dare to scold me? You fat, wretched pig, today you dare to cause trouble like this. Tomorrow the Charlie family will kill you!” Jena yelled, pointing her finger at Zahal, seemingly not understanding what was happening. Upon hearing the words “you fat pig.” Zahal’s forehead bulged with blue veins, as he hated being insulted like that the most! Smack! Zahal swiftly

    “You treacherous dog, what are you babbling about? Do you think you can come and ridicule me? Are you even worthy?” Dante coldly snapped, having always acted tough towards Jethro and never considering him a serious threat: “You think relying on Zahal will allow you to dance in front of me? I’ll teach you a lesson soon enough!” “Oh, Dante, you still don’t get it, do you?” Jethro chuckled coldly, his face freezing, and kicked Dante in the face with all his strength. The force of the kick was so strong that Dante spat out a mouthful of blood. “Dante, did you ever imagine this day when you used to step on me like this?” Jethro proudly said, releasing years of pent-up frustration. At this moment, Jethro released all the pent-up rage inside him, feeling incredibly grateful to Theophilus! If it weren’t for Theophilus’ support, he would have lived his entire life under the shadow of the Charlie family, forever unable to rid himself of the label of being betrayed by his wife! “Zahal, Jethr

    "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.

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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

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
