Lena was one of these unfortunate people.Though the Deshaies didn't persecute her, her crops had been failing for the past few years.Therefore, she not only needed financial help, but also needed to earn money to meet her daily needs.Lena knew she couldn't borrow from the bank. That's why she borrowed from the Deshaies. As her debt grew, she struggled to pay it off.At the same time, after learning that one of the young men in the Deshaies family had his eye on her niece, Lena tried to get closer to him in order to get leniency and avoid repaying her debt."Don't you know how much I spent on your two daughters' education? If I hadn't supported Helena, she wouldn't be as successful as she is now!" Lena snapped without any shame.Every time she argued with her sister, she always mentioned her own good deeds, as if she had done them only out of self-interest."I don't want to hear anything from you right now. Wake up your child and tell her to leave immediately!" Lena snapped again an
Helena was about to move her hand when a voice was heard from the direction of the door."Darling, what are you doing? Are you going to leave your lover for a rich man? Come on! Do you think I can't make you happy?"The voice was casually spoken, but sounded very loud.When everyone turned to the source of the voice, they could see Daniel standing near the door with his arms folded across his chest.Daniel was indeed pretending to be Helena's boyfriend. He did it for one simple reason.If he had no relationship with Helena, what reason would he have to help the girl?Besides, after hearing Louise's explanation of what the Deshaies family, including the young man in front of him, had done to the locals, Daniel couldn't just stay silent.He had to do something to save them. He had to stop the incredibly greedy Deshaies family!But first, of course, he had to save Helena by paying off Lena's debt!"You stupid boy! Have you gone mad? What are you doing here? Get out before I lose my patie
Helena didn't know how to answer that question at the moment.If she said that her boss, in this case Daniel, couldn't afford two hundred million for the land, it would be openly insulting Daniel.But if she told the truth, her aunt would immediately sell the land to Daniel, who seemed to have a plan to help them."He... he..." Helena stuttered."Helena! Don't beat around the bush! Just say whether your boss will buy it at that price or not!" Lena urged again.Seeing that the situation was becoming unfavorable, Matthias couldn't stay silent."Aunt, why are you interested in the nonsense and unclear words of this young man? Isn't he just a poor young man who can only make up stories? Why should we listen to him? Besides, if I marry Helena, you don't need to sell anything, right?"Matthias spoke calmly and softly, but his heart was growing worried. 'What if Helena's boss really wants to buy the land? What should I do?'"Matthias, be quiet for a moment! Let me decide here!" Lena said.He
Lena couldn't speak. She felt pain all over her body. After several kicks, she could barely stand the constant pain. She was about to pass out.But before she lost consciousness, she saw the figure of a young man coming from the direction of the door. She recognized him. It was the young man she had belittled!"You're not only cunning, you're also a coward! Tell me, are you only brave enough to fight a woman?"She could hear the young man's voice directed at Matthias.At the same time as these words were spoken, Lena's consciousness completely faded away.She had fainted.On the other side, Daniel's words surprised Elise and Helena, who thought they had lost the young man. They opened their mouths wide but were unable to utter a single word.Not only them, the words also shocked Matthias.What?Why is that despicable young man here?Why did they let him go?Matthias was furious with his subordinates.He thought they had disobeyed his orders by letting the young man escape before his
Daniel found himself in Arena 12, facing an opponent he had been briefed on. Montgomery Brooks!With each new round, the contestants were given a larger arena. In this round, the arena was fifty meters in diameter, slightly wider than the previous one.After entering the arena, each referee would remind the contestants of the rules that would be used in this round."Jeffrey, Montgomery, listen carefully! This round will be a 3-on-3 duel! There are no rules about who attacks first. The one who can hit his opponent three times the fastest will win this round!" said the referee.Unlike the previous rules, in this round, two contestants in an arena didn't have to wait for either themselves or their opponent to finish their turn to attack three times."Get ready! Fight!" the referee shouted before quickly leaving the arena.Under this rule, each contestant was free to attack each other from the beginning of the match.This time, however, Daniel's opponent was in no hurry to attack."Hey, y
Another wave of shock came from Montgomery's direction along with his words.On the other side, as before, Daniel had to hold back the wave with his inner strength."Damn! His internal strength is really terrible! Should I use this technique now?" Daniel wondered."Hey, stupid!" Montgomery shouted again, accompanied by a shockwave that hit Daniel again."Damn it! I can't hold it anymore!"Daniel focused all his inner strength on his right palm, not just half of it. He used almost all of his inner power!Then he ran towards Montgomery.When they were only about ten meters apart, he stomped his foot hard on the ground and his body glided several tens of meters into the air.While his body was in the air, Daniel placed his right hand next to his face with the palm facing down."Crushing Palm Technique!"A huge palm shadow emerged from Daniel's palm, ready to hit Montgomery's body.It was an extremely powerful technique.From such a close range, even Mortimer, one of the senior servants o
Daniel stood in his place, still unable to understand why his technique had turned against him, when a voice from the front pulled him out of his thoughts."Hahaha! So that's all your technique can do! I thought I was in for a tougher fight!" Montgomery shouted.Daniel looked blankly at the young man in front of him. He ignored the mockery. All he could think about was what to do next."How can I defeat him?"As Daniel thought that, he felt a very strong aura of inner energy coming towards him.When he raised his head, Montgomery was already standing right in front of him."I gave you the chance to attack me. Now it's my turn to show you the true cultivation technique!"After saying that, his fist quickly flew towards Daniel's chest.Strike!Being so close, Daniel had no choice but to block the attack with his hands.Boom!Two high level techniques collided again.The ground around them shook slightly from the powerful impact.Montgomery stood his ground while Daniel was pushed back s
The Ice and Fire Strike is the culmination of the Brooks Family's cultivation method.Anyone who receives this strike will feel a strong sensation of cold and heat all over his body at the same time.Those with low internal energy will either suffer and die in the scorching heat or freeze to death in the extreme cold.While Montgomery's body was still in the air, Daniel could feel the conflicting aura coming toward him.He was currently suffering from a severe internal injury. If he tried to block the attack, it would only make his condition worse.However, Daniel was also unsure if he had enough speed to dodge the attack.Clearly, he was in a dilemma: he would put himself at great risk if he blocked the attack, but the possibility of dodging it was also very low.When his mind was tired enough to think of a way out of the problem, he deliberately stopped thinking.He had to listen to his heart!And just as he hoped, a vague idea suddenly appeared in his mind."Could this be how Montg
