Isabelle couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment as she stood face to face with Lord Pluto. She had always known he was a formidable force, but deep down, she had secretly hoped that their powers would at least be on a somewhat equal footing in the middle level. Yet, as she assessed the strength he exuded, it became abundantly clear that he far surpassed her expectations. Nevertheless, the thought of yielding to him never crossed her mind. She was determined not to back down from this impending battle. Furthermore, her familiarity with the mysterious glow bestowed upon her an advantage that she intended to exploit to the fullest.In the aftermath of her previous battle, Terry and Townsend had shared invaluable information about the glow with her. They had, however, chosen to remain tight-lipped about their own background or personal histories, and Isabelle had respected their privacy. After all, in the world they inhabited, secrets were a common currency, and everyone harbore
Lord Pluto stood in his exclusive training ground, contemplating the decision ahead. "What if I were to opt for a more passive role?" he inquired, his voice echoing through the serene atmosphere.Apart from Townsend, Terry, Damien, and Isabelle, the training ground remained devoid of any other presence.Isabelle responded thoughtfully, "Choosing to remain on the sidelines can be a prudent strategy. However, it's essential to recognize that during a restructure, you might find yourself lower in the hierarchy. At that point, I may not have the authority to make decisions."Lord Pluto considered her words, acknowledging the potential consequences. "I understand the risks, but I believe this might still be the wisest course of action."With a final nod, Isabelle signaled her departure. "Very well. I'll take my leave now. Let's go," she suggested, her exit prompting Terry and Townsend to follow suit. Damien briefly hesitated, uncertain if Isabelle's statement included him. However, given
"The Greece family isn't as tranquil as one might assume, especially amidst this ongoing struggle for supremacy between you and Dustin. Sides have been clearly defined, with me aligning myself with you, and Uncle Two siding with Dustin," declared Uncle Three.Alexander acknowledged his uncle's words, though he harbored further questions, but the looming, enigmatic figures were drawing near. Acting with swiftness akin to a bolt of lightning, Alexander emerged by their side and sent them sprawling with a single, powerful punch.Despite the blow, the mysterious figures swiftly rose to their feet, forming a daunting circle around Alexander. Astonishingly, they appeared unhurt, as if the punch had barely fazed them.Wearing a wry smile, Alexander remarked, "Impressive, they're just as durable as you described."With newfound determination, Alexander launched another assault, this time targeting their heads. In response, the mysterious figures became more vicious, fiercely defending their h
With a tone laced in sarcasm, Helen retorted, "Oh, how absolutely fascinating!" Young Master G, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm dripping from her words, persisted in his grandiose claims, declaring, "I wield absolute authority within Fairview, in fact, I am the embodiment of power itself. A mere utterance from me could spell the demise of this company and, of course, your own downfall." He concluded his threat with a certain air of arrogance.Unfazed by his threats, Helen continued her mockery, maintaining her sarcastic demeanor, "Ah, well, isn't that just splendid to hear."Young Master G, his patience waning, came to a sudden revelation of Helen's actions and his temper flared. In response to her behavior, he issued a stern command to one of his loyal guards, instructing him to educate her in the ways of proper conduct. "Teach her some manners," he demanded with authority.The selected bodyguard, who was at the higher level of the Warrior realm, sprang into action with remarkab
In the confines of AG Corp's manager's office, three key individuals, namely Arthur, Hasen, and Helen, were gathered. They sat around a polished wooden table, their attention riveted to the television screen that broadcasted the unfolding events.As the tense atmosphere permeated the room, Helen's reaction was one of alarm and anxiety. She blurted out in a panicked tone, "Young Master G has initiated his assault. Are we truly prepared to endure this challenge?"Despite Helen's visible distress, both Arthur and Hasen displayed a remarkable composure, as if they had foreseen this very turn of events. Their calm demeanor suggested a premeditated readiness for the impending situation.Arthur eventually found his voice and reassured Helen, "Fear is unnecessary. If he chooses to harm us, we shall respond in kind. Whatever he inflicts upon us, we will double in return. There's no reason for fear."In a surprisingly short span of time, a wave of fresh headlines inundated the news feeds. The e
Alexander's mood darkened as he immersed himself in a series of news stories. In the hustle and bustle of his recent past, he had scarcely found a moment to focus on the happenings in Fairview. He had maintained an unwavering belief that capable individuals in his absence would ensure the smooth operation of things in the city no matter what challenges they faced.Little did he anticipate the shocking revelation that someone had taken it upon themselves to impersonate him, cunningly adopting his identity and seizing control of Fairview. There was only one person who could have masterminded such an audacious act, and that person was none other than his own elder brother, Dustin.Xander Corporation, the company he had poured his heart and soul into, had vanished into thin air. Even more concerning was the fact that he couldn't establish contact with Arthur, his most trusted confidant and personal assistant. The once dominant top five families of Fairview had been ousted from their po
Thanks to an influx of capital, AG Corp experienced a resurgence as it saw its stock price climb once again. Capitalizing on this financial advantage, AG Corp managed to outperform the Dustin Group by leveraging its substantial cash reserves to drive down the value of Dustin Group's shares, thereby gaining a competitive edge in the stock market.AG Corp strategically leveraged its newfound financial prowess to implement a meticulously crafted series of strategic maneuvers. At the forefront of their strategy was the launch of a substantial stock buyback initiative, systematically reducing the number of available shares within the market. This astute move not only bolstered the intrinsic value of the remaining AG Corp shares but also conveyed a resounding message to the investment community—an unmistakable signal of AG Corp's unwavering confidence in its future prospects.Meanwhile, on the opposing front, the Dustin Group found itself grappling with the mounting pressure to counter A
As Nancy, David, and Old Mr. Chen were engrossed in their own battles, a lone middle-level guardian realm expert from the opposing side seized the opportunity to swiftly approach Hasen, driven by the sinister intent of capturing him and leveraging his capture to coerce Nancy and her companions into surrendering and leading them to the whereabout of the upper echelons of AG Corp.When the adversary reached Hasen's vicinity, a deep sigh escaped Hasen's lips as he pondered aloud, "Do you truly desire death so fervently?"With an apparently feeble motion, Hasen launched a punch that seemed to lack any discernible strength, almost as though he were devoid of power. However, upon contact, this seemingly innocuous punch landed square on the expert's chest, propelling him through the air and leaving his chest visibly sunken, his fate uncertain and hanging by a thread. It didn't take long for his breath to falter and the expert died just there.The unexpected confrontation brought the ongoing
