Two billion!

Someone had transferred two billion dollars to the city's public account. But it was not in the name of Lucas or anyone related to the Hopkins family.

What is this all about?

What should we do now?

All the core members of the City Council were now stunned by what they had just read. As they sank into disbelief, their minds were filled with various questions.

What decision should they make?

Should they allow this fundraising war to continue?

Seeing that the council members were silent, Lucas opened his mouth. He wanted to lighten the mood so that the leader could make his decision immediately.

Trying to decorate his lips with the widest possible smile, he asked.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency, is there anything else we should wait for? Or is there something you wish to communicate?"

Sigh!

The leader took a deep breath and said.

"Mr. Lucas, I have a question for you."

"Yes, please, Your Excellency!"

"Are you willing to give the same amount of money again?"

This question was li

    The joy and pride Daniel had felt yesterday vanished completely when his name was not on the list.His frustration grew even more when he heard that his friend, who had supported him from the beginning, had submitted his own name to participate in the competition."Daniel, in one week there will be an open competition to select new members of the Security Division! I'm not interested in participating in such an event, but don't worry! I will try to make sure that you can participate!"Those were Jeffrey's last words before Daniel left his palace a week ago."What did Jeffrey mean by that? Does he want the title for himself as well? He shouldn't have pretended to support me," Daniel thought, trying to control his emotions.That's when young Drummond suddenly appeared in front of him. "Daniel, where have you been? I've been looking for you!"Jeffrey's face lit up as he said this. He tried to put his arm around Daniel's shoulder, but the Tec-Auto boss recklessly pushed his hand away."He

    Daniel went alone to arena number 50. Before arriving there, he had lost Jeffrey, who had gone somewhere without telling him.When he arrived there, he only saw a referee standing at the edge of the arena. No one else was there.Not long after, he saw a young man with very short hair, almost bald, enter the arena. "Maybe this person's name is Luca!" he thought. "But I didn't notice anything strange about him!"For the next few minutes, only the three of them were present. As the number indicated, this arena not only had the last number, but also the fewest spectators. Since Luca's arrival, there had been no spectators at all."Oh come on! Seriously! Am I the only one who's going to watch this match?" thought Daniel after he was sure that no one else would come to the place.Then he heard the voice of the announcer again."Attention! All participants must be in their respective arenas within three minutes! Any delay, even if it's only a few seconds, will result in disqualification."Wh

    Daniel and Luca faced each other at a distance of ten meters. According to the rules, Luca had the opportunity to attack Daniel three times first. If he failed in these three attacks, then Daniel would attack back.The referee then released the chain that surrounded the arena, leaving only a circular mark on the ground no less than twenty meters in diameter."You must watch your feet and not cross the line. If both of your feet cross the line completely, you will be declared the loser, even if your opponent fails to hit you!" the referee explained the rule before giving the signal."Get ready! Fight!" he shouted, then stepped aside. His attention was focused on the two contestants in front of him."Accept my punch, you descendant of traitors," Luca said, then disappeared.Luca called Daniel that because he believed that Daniel was the last descendant of the Drummond family, who were considered traitors for supporting the Baldini family.In an instant, he was three meters off the groun

    Daniel saw the figures coming closer and closer. Meanwhile, he couldn't find a way to dodge like before."Damn! What should I do?"After those attacks were only a few milliseconds away from him, an idea came to his mind."Yeah! I have to try it!"Before Luca's various punches and kicks hit his body, Daniel gathered all his strength into his palms. Then he punched the ground beneath him with his fist.Boom!The vibration produced by the blow was much stronger than what Luca's previous attacks had produced.From this, it was clear that Daniel had more internal power than his opponent.Therefore, the shock effect he created was also several levels stronger.Not only inside the arena, the shock effect could even be felt tens of meters beyond it.At this point, not only Jeffrey had to move his body and Amelia further away from that place.The referee watching the duel had no choice but to do the same.They knew what the shock effect could do to their bodies. If they let it hit their bodies

    On the other hand, seeing his opponent use the same technique again, Daniel remembered what Jeffrey had said earlier."Don't let those shadows fool you! You need to focus on finding his real body and direct your attack towards it!"All he had to do was to find Luca's real body. However, there was still one big problem."But how can I find it?"Daniel had tried to use his heightened senses, which were more sensitive than the warrior on his level, to find it. But he couldn't find anything.All these figures had the same appearance, the same smell and the same voice, as if they were all Luca's real body."Hey, are you just going to stand there? Come on, don't waste my time! If you can't do it, you might as well give up!" Luca shouted.His lips curled wickedly as he said this. Besides, he did it on purpose to distract Daniel's concentration."You talk too much! Just watch! I'll do it!"At that moment, when Daniel thought it was almost impossible to know which one was Luca's real one, an i

    Daniel waved his palm down, and in an instant, a huge ball of energy appeared, heading toward Luca and his shadows.The ball of energy had the shape of a palm. It was thirty meters across, one and a half times the size of the arena itself. It quickly descended to the ground.Meanwhile, Luca, who was underneath it, could only stare in shock. He couldn't withstand or block the massive ball of energy.At that moment, he considered running away, but before he could move his body, the energy was only inches away from his head.Boom!The energy ball hit the arena, causing an incredibly loud noise.What's more, the strong wind generated by the explosion swept far and wide, forcing the non-cultivator bystanders in the area to take cover so as not to be injured or harmed.After the impact, people couldn't see clearly into the arena and surrounding area due to the high flying dust.Daniel's body fell to the ground after he released the technique.When he used the technique, he didn't even use h

    Nighttime.Daniel was sitting on a chair on the second floor balcony of the Drummond Mansion.After finishing the first round of the duel, instead of going back to the campus dormitory, he followed Jeffrey's advice to temporarily stay at his house."Daniel, if someone wants to harm you, you can easily face them. But what about the students around you? I'm sure none of them are cultivators. If something happens to them, they won't be able to protect themselves!"His friend's opinion made sense to him. After thinking about it, Daniel couldn't help but agree.Currently, many people are starting to pay attention to Daniel's abilities, especially since most of them consider him a part of the Drummond family."If a group of masked fighters comes here, at least I can still rely on Jasper and some other cultivators to face them!" he thought.But Daniel's heart remained restless. After all, he was not used to being taken care of, let alone protected by others."I am an Esquire candidate," he s

    "Jeff!"Daniel and Amelia shouted at the same time when they saw who was coming."What's wrong, Daniel? Did you suddenly get sick because of what I'm about to tell you?"Ignoring their surprise, the young man sat down on one of the empty chairs and started to take some cakes from the table."Mmm! These cakes are delicious!" Jeffrey exclaimed as he chewed a piece of cake in his mouth."Amy, did you make them yourself? But why have I never seen you busy in the kitchen before?" he continued."Jeff! Stop it!" Amelia said as she approached her brother and covered his mouth.She had made the cake especially for someone she was beginning to adore the most. However, her brother's words embarrassed her."Hahaha! I think you are falling in love with someone!" said Jeffrey, pointing his gaze at Daniel.Earlier, when Jeffrey came into the kitchen, he noticed something in his sister's expression. He could clearly see something in her eyes for the young man."Shut up! If you continue with your nons

    "Dakota, are you okay?"Daniel grabbed a cloth and covered the girl's body.At that moment, Dakota simply collapsed into Daniel's arms."I am okay! But promise me one thing!" she whispered."What is it?"His answer made Dakota cry harder and hug him around his waist even tighter."Never leave me ... forever!""Of course! I promise!""Wait a moment! I'll help the others!"Daniel let go of the girl's embrace and jumped into the air.Then he shot a very bright beam at the Warriors as they lay helpless on the ground.The beam was so bright, as bright as sunlight.When it hit the cultivators, it instantly cured their bodies of the pain they were suffering."Daniel!""Mr. Elrod!"Both those close to Daniel and those who didn't know him approached him with gratitude and great admiration.Shortly thereafter, two handsome men in their forties arrived in a hurry.Seeing a crowd around a young man, they approached."Daniel, forgive me for being late!"The man was none other than William, Charles

    "What? What are you trying to say, huh?" Flavio shouted when he saw Daniel moving his lips towards him."Come on, say what you want to do?" the old man said, putting one ear close to Daniel's mouth."I can't hear you! Hahaha!"The old man became more and more enthusiastic about playing with Daniel.After laughing loudly for a while, Flavio stared at the helpless Daniel."All right, I know what you want!" he said with a mocking smile."You want me to enjoy this girl's body in front of everyone, don't you?" he whispered. "I will, of course! Hahaha!"Flavio then slammed Daniel's weak body to the floor.Bang!After that he walked slowly, swaying his body towards Dakota, as if the girl was a slave waiting for her master."Na-na-na-na-na-na! Na-na-na-na-na-na!"Daniel looked at Flavio with a look that seemed capable of destroying the world."You scoundrel! Stop right there! Don't bother her anymore!"Flavio swayed his body close to Dakota."Sweet girl, your body is very sensual when it move

Not only for me, but also for Tectona!"Daniel stared at Peter with a strong determination in his eyes."I beg you, just this once!"Peter looked at Daniel for a moment.He could feel the sincerity and honesty in the young man's eyes.Nodding his head, he said, "I'll do it!"Peter took his cell phone out of his pocket and tapped in some codes to access documents about the largest palace in Tectona.Beep! Beep! Beep!After entering a few codes, the transaction was almost complete, and all they had to do was wait for Daniel's payment."I did it!" Peter exclaimed.Daniel nodded."Now please enter my payment code!"Since Daniel couldn't use his broken phone, he had to rely on the code to access the payment through his account."Nine, three, one, seven..."Daniel said the code to the end.But before Peter could finish processing it, he heard screams from the other side."Aaargh!""Mi

    Flavio narrowed his eyes as he watched Daniel's growing strength."Not bad!" the old man exclaimed. "I admit, for a young man of your age to possess such strength is indeed rare!"Flavio then disappeared from his standing position and reappeared in front of Daniel in a very short time."However, this is certainly not enough to defeat me and will never be enough!"As he said this, Flavio threw a right punch at Daniel's face.The young man, realizing the powerful attack coming towards him, quickly pulled his body to the side.Flavio's power was too great for him to face directly, so he decided to dodge.Woosh!Daniel successfully dodged the attack, but he could still feel the pressure from the air caused by the blow.Before he could think of his next move...Bang!Another powerful punch from Flavio hit Daniel's stomach, making the young man feel as if he had been hit by a massive hammer.Daniel's body was thrown tens of meters away and fell to the ground with a loud thud."Damn!

    "Elder, are you okay?"Dakota asked when she noticed something unusual about her guardian's body."I... I'm fine, Miss!"The Elder of the West seemed to struggle to utter the words.As he finished the sentence, he suddenly collapsed to the ground."Brother, it seems we should not underestimate this old scoundrel!" Dakota exclaimed. "We must join forces with the Tectona Warriors!""Hmm!" Brian nodded in agreement.After instructing one of their subordinates to take care of the Elder of the West, Dakota, Brian, and their entire force moved to join Archibald and the others.Seeing this, Flavio just grinned."Huh, just because you joined, you think you can defeat me? How amusing!"This time, he raised both hands and created a larger energy ball.It was ten times larger than before.Then he quickly threw it at the group of Warriors."Everyone, quickly get out of here!" Archibald shouted. "Now!"He knew that none of them could face Flavio right now.Therefore, the only thing he could do was

    Harper and all of the other Warriors prepared to channel their inner strength to defend against any attacks the old man might unleash.However, their preparedness seemed to be a bit excessive, for only a few steps later, Rufus, who was walking unsteadily along the pile of rubble, suddenly collapsed.After that, a minute, two minutes... ten minutes later, there was no movement from the old man."Is he dead?"Just as some people were thinking of such a question, they were shocked again by the rumbling sound coming from inside the ruins.They turned their eyes back to the ruins while maintaining their vigilance.Moments later, someone with a torn shirt and a body covered in red fluid struggled to emerge from the rubble.When he looked in the opposite direction, all they could see was his stocky back.When he turned around, everyone couldn't contain their emotions. "Daniel!" they all exclaimed.They really didn't expect someone they cared about to survive the collapse of the building."Da

    Flavio turned his body and walked towards the tightly closed steel gate with the intention of breaking through it and getting out. However, before he could take a step, an oversized chandelier hanging from the ceiling above him fell and hit his head.Bang!"Argh! Damn!"Although it wasn't too painful for him, the sharp edge of the chandelier scratched his scalp, causing a rather deep wound.Holding the back of his head, Flavio hurried to leave, but this time, the concrete beam supporting the structure fell again, hitting his body.Bang!"Aaargh! Damn it! Why is everything falling on me?"Without much effort, he pushed the concrete beam away.But before he could move any further, several more beams fell.Flavio didn't have time to do anything else, because in the next few seconds the building had completely collapsed.Meanwhile, Archibald and Harper had successfully evacuated everyone from the city hall.From a distance, they watched as the large and tall building collapsed as if there

    Bleep-bleep! Bleep-bleep!The sound of the alarm froze Flavio and Charles, each with a different expression on their faces.While the head of the Baldini family looked very angry and frustrated, the head of the Insignia family showed a relieved smile."Good job, Harper!" Charles exclaimed in his mind with great joy. "Now I can destroy this place to bury him!""Flavio, why are you just standing there?" he challenged.With that, he no longer hesitated to unleash his inner power to the limit."Aren't you interested in killing me anymore?"A sly smile played on Charles' lips as he said this, as if he was deliberately provoking his opponent to unleash all of his inner strength as well."Huh, insolent!" Flavio cursed, clenching both fists. "It seems I made a mistake not killing you earlier!"When he heard the alarm, he knew that something was definitely wrong.He might not care much about Charles, but he couldn't bear to see Harper, whom he had never touched, go free.With all the strength

    The body of the old man trembled violently.His eyes stared blankly as if he was unconscious.Shortly after, his body fell to the ground and continued to shake."Can you help me carry this lady?" Daniel said to the tall girl.The girl had been at Daniel's side since earlier.She had decided to be the young man's main assistant and do whatever she could for him.While saying that, Daniel handed Dakota, who was still unconscious, to the girl."Wh-what are you going to do?"She knew that Daniel seemed to intend to deal with the old man first."Don't worry about him, just come with us!" she continued.But Daniel just smiled and shook his head."No! If I don't kill him, he'll keep following us!""But..."The girl's eyes showed that she didn't want Daniel to stay in the room."Go now! If not, you will only endanger all the girls!""Okay!" She nodded hesitantly, but tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.This was the first time in her life that she had met someone so kin
