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
The scene fell silent!No one expected the situation to escalate to this point, where Edward disregarded the face of the Allen family and fiercely beat Bob, the prodigal son.Afterwards, Edward coldly glanced at Susan and said, "We are divorced! We have no relation anymore! It's better for you not to bother me again, otherwise..." Edward stared fiercely at her.Susan was momentarily stunned by his ferocious gaze!However, after Edward left, she couldn't help but feel indignant.She angrily exclaimed, "Edward, you have offended the Allen family, and you will pay a terrible price for it!"Almost everyone held this belief. After all, in their eyes, Edward stood no chance against the mighty Allen family. As Edward walked out of the estate, he got into Steve's car."Edward, you were so cool just now!" Steve gave Edward a thumbs up. He was deeply moved and grateful that Edward took revenge for him.Moreover, teaching the scumbag Bob a lesson on the Allen family's turf excited him.However,
Edward spent several days calmly.During these days, he did not seek shelter from Jessica as others guessed, but quietly stayed at home cultivating.On the one hand, he didn't want to cause trouble for Jessica; on the other hand, he hoped to gain recognition from Jessica and her family by dealing with the Allen family."Money and power are secondary to me, personal strength is the most important stuff!" Edward thought to himself.Not before long, an unexpected guest came, Bob's bodyguard, the middle-aged man with red hair named Robert.He limped in front of Edward, with new scars on his face and arms, appearing to have been severely punished by the Allen family."What are you doing here?" Edward glanced at him and asked indifferently.Robert replied, "Mr. David Allen, Bob's father, asked me to send you an invitation to the Tiger Golf tonight.""Oh? He wanna a date with me? I'm not interested in man, especially an old man!" Edward raised an eyebrow and teased.Seeing that Robert seemed
Upon hearing David's arrogant words, Edward's gaze gradually turned cold, caught the stick and and he sternly said, "No wonder Bob is so arrogant, it turns out he has an even more arrogant father! Let me tell you, the last time he provoked me, I only broke one of his legs. If there's a next time, I'll break his other two!"Edward's words were sharp and resolute, even Robert, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but look at him with some of hidden respect.David, enraged, clapped his hands and said, "Good, good, really good! A mere poor trash dares to speak to me like this! Do you think Jessica is still your backer? She has abandoned you!"With that, he threw the golf club at Edward's feet and menacingly said, "In consideration of your past partnership with Jessica, I'll give you a chance. Break your own legs, and the matter will end here!"Edward glanced at the golf club, and with a thought, the club flew towards David in rapid speed.As it was about to hit its target, the hu
"Next time, if you dare to come again, I'll cripple all your limbs, including the one between your legs!" Edward said expressionlessly, coldly staring at the man as if he were examining an ant."Fine, huh! It won't over, just you wait! I will revenge, definitely!" The man clutched his deformed arm,
At night, Edward was lying on a chair on the balcony of the second floor of the villa, enjoying the cool breeze and appreciating the beautiful moon.He felt relaxed that he had started the first step of defeating the Allen family. He just needed to wait for the Allen family's industries to collapse
Just now, those merchants who had mocked Edward were deeply regretful at this moment.Edward looked at the numerous merchants below and slowly said, "I won't sell the prescription, but I can offer you all the agency rights. I'll take only ten percent of the profits."Upon hearing this, everyone beca
David was stunned. He pinched his own ear as if he couldn't believe those words had come from Steve's mouth!"Steve, what the hell did you just say?" David hadn't spoken yet when William cursed first.Steve smiled, casually picked up a chair, and threw it directly at William's head!"Who do you thin
Edward glanced at them coldly and said, "Idiot." With that, he strode into the conference hall with Robert in tow."Damn, how dare he insult me!" Susan exclaimed angrily.William sneered, "That bastard won't be arrogant for long."He then informed David of Edward's arrival.David smirked after heari
Since Steve released that news, the entire New Angelia has been spreading this event.The owner of the prescription for the “Energy Pill” is openly bidding!Apart from those pharmaceutical companies, even some powerful real estate companies are eager to intervene.Recently, William had been by David
Hardly finishing the dishes, Edward strolled through the estate, admiring the moonlit scenery with Jessica together.Smelling the faint fragrance from Jessica’s body, Edward's heart felt a tickle.He sneakily glanced at her profile, feeling as if his heart might leap out of his chest.Summoning cour
Steve's face changed suddenly, realizing things were going south."Hmph, I do sell energy pills, but what's it to you," Steve said nervously.David sneered, "Give me the prescription, and I'll give you money." He tossed a bank card onto the table. "There's a million dollars in the account. That shou
David carefully observed the pill and finally confirmed that it was indeed identical to the one Edward had given him before."Eddie, finished reading? It's time to return it to me," Grant said cautiously, collecting the pill.Seeing Eddie's disappointed expression, Grant thought he was regretful and
