Upon hearing Edward's words, everyone was stunned.Mayor George hadn't expected Edward, such a despicable fellow, to dare refuse his order, and Jessica was also surprised that Edward, who had rarely shown anger, was now displaying such behavior. In her eyes, Edward had always been a gentle person, seldom getting angry.However, she was pleased with this change in him!"Scoundrel, what did you say?" George immediately became furious, and his driver, who also doubled as a part-time bodyguard, glared angrily at Edward, completely forgetting the fact that he had just been scared off by him, and sternly demanded, "Cure Mayor George immediately! Otherwise, I'll make you pay!"Edward raised his head slightly to look at the tall, muscular man in front of him, and in the next moment, he slapped him, sending him flying, several teeth even falling out in the process.The onlookers were not only shocked that Edward dared to directly offend the mayor but also astonished by his strength, capable of
George stood outside the villa, looking at the balcony on the second floor with a complex meaning in his eyes, without saying anything.After a moment, he said with a melancholy tone, "Let's go home!"He ignored the speculation of his driver, although he also had some doubts about Edward.But the ability Edward displayed today surpassed his imagination. He knew that no matter whether Edward staged this scene himself or not, he couldn't afford to offend Edward anymore. Because it seemed that Edward could not only save lives but also kill in invisible ways!"Sir, this bastard has offended you so much, we should teach him a lesson! For instance, we can secretly assist your nephew Bob," the driver suggested cunningly.George remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand and refused, "From now on, I will not interfere in the struggle between Edward and Bob.""Sir, but..." the driver was anxious to persuade him, as he still hoped to use the mayor's hand to avenge himself against Edward.
Bob's face turned red as he struggled hard, trying to pull his hand out.However, under Edward's overwhelming strength, he couldn't resist at all.Watching Bob grimacing in pain, Edward asked with concern, "Mr. Allen, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"Hearing this, Bob was almost driven to spew blood!"Coincidentally, I am a doctor. Let me diagnose you," Edward said, seeming very serious."You..." Bob pointed at Edward with the other hand, wanting to angrily scold him."Hmm?" Edward's eyes turned sharp, and he secretly increased the strength in his hand.Feeling even more intense pain, Bob immediately changed his words, "You... let go of my hand!""Oh," Edward seemed to suddenly understand, quickly releasing his grip. "Sorry, Mr. Allen, you should have said it earlier." Edward raised his hands innocently as well.Bob could only swallow this humiliation, hiding his trembling right hand behind his back, trying to maintain his composure in front of Jessica.Jessica watched th
Bob certainly didn't buy it at the auction, but he bought it for ten thousand dollars in a small shop run by a foreigner, and then he bought a delicate gift box for five thousand dollars.But what he didn't expect was that he was actually deceived by that foreigner, and the medicinal herb turned out to be carved and dyed!What's even more unexpected is that it was seen through by Edward, his rival, on the spot, which made him embarrassed!"You...you...nonsense!" Bob retorted somewhat flustered."Jessica, he's slandering me! Please don't believe him!" he looked at Jessica, explaining anxiously.Jessica sighed slightly, picked up the medicinal herb, and said with a hint of disappointment, "Since you both insist on your own views, then I will send it to a professional institution for testing."Upon hearing this, Bob hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "Je...Jessica, I really didn't know it was fake, I was also deceived by that...that foreign seller."Jessica coldly sn
A few days later, Edward received an unexpected phone call from Jessica."Edward, Bob is hosting a cocktail party and he invited me. I don't want to go, so how about you go in my place?" Jessica casually said."Me?" Edward was taken aback, feeling a bit puzzled.He didn't like Bob, a cunning and hostile guy. Attending Bob's party would surely make him feel annoyed!"What's the matter? Are you scared of being there?" Jessica teased, noticing Edward's silence."Scared? Of course not! It's just..." Edward forced a smile."Edward, this is a test! Are you going to refuse? I hope you can handle these situations with composure, even if it means facing people you dislike or consider enemies," Jessica said with a serious tone."Tell me the time and location!" Upon hearing those words, Edward immediately agreed.Jessica smiled faintly, "Tonight at eight o'clock, at Poto Vineyard.""Alright! I will be there on time!" Edward nodded firmly, promising.Since this was Jessica's test for him, he woul
Edward sat alone in a quiet corner, completely focused on his cultivation.After all, he could sense that the air here was truly filled with natural elements, and that is the energy for him."Mr. Flamel?" At that moment, a man's voice suddenly came from behind Edward.He opened his eyes and turned to look at the man, his eyes showing some confusion.The man was none other than Steve Rode, the son of New Angelia's wealthiest man.Steve smiled friendly and asked, "Do you mind if I sit next to you?""Sit, please." Edward nodded politely in response."Mr. Flamel, I have something important to tell you," Steve said seriously.Edward sighed lightly, indicating that he couldn't continue his quiet cultivation."Yes, please," Edward replied.However, Steve, like a thief, first looked around cautiously, then whispered to Edward, "I suggest you leave here as soon as possible!""What's going on?" Edward became even more puzzled."I just heard that Bob Allen holds hostility towards you," Steve sai
"You..." The redhead man grew furious, ready to strike Edward.However, Bob intervened, grabbing him, halting his impulse.Then, he looked at Edward with a sneer, saying, "Edward, I heard you've been betrayed by your wife. Would you mind sharing the details with us here?"The music in the hall abruptly stopped and the light all shined on Edward.Clearly, it was Bob's arrangement!Edward stared coldly at him, saying nothing."Silent, huh? Since you're unwilling, someone else will share this interesting story," Bob sneered.With a wave of his hand, two shady individuals approached amidst the crowd's gaze."Susan, William, when did you start deceiving him?" Bob curiously interviewed.Susan and William had clearly coordinated the story. Shamelessly, she said, "Actually, we've been together since the night of my wedding with poor Edward."Laughter erupted! The disdain in their eyes towards Edward was palpable.As a man, being betrayed by his wife, especially on the wedding night, is a huge
Everyone present was horrified when they saw Bob with his mouth full of blood.How dare Edward beat the young master of the Allen family like this!He will die! Bob and his family will not forgive him! Even his position as the partner of Miss Morgan can’t help him!William and Susan also widened their eyes in shock, and then they were ecstatic and whispered, "This time, Edward’s life is finished!"They didn't believe the Morgans would protect a criminal who attacked the heir to the Allen family."Thank you..." Steve calmed down and thanked Edward.He slowly stood up and stood beside Edward, showing his support for Edward, and stared at Bob coldly.Although his family is slightly weaker than the Allen family as a whole, he is not afraid!Bob wiped the blood from his mouth in disbelief and said angrily, "Asshole...how dare you...how dare you hit me!""I've tolerated you for a long time and I’ve given you several chances!" Edward said lightly.Bob became extremely angry and shouted, "I'm
