2024-07-14 01:01:25After listening to Veronica's story, Lexy kicked the table, stood up, took Veronica's hand, and said, "Come on, let's tell Finley. Let him do it for you."
Veronica shook her head bitterly and said, "It's useless. Grandfather only cares about the family's interests. The Lawton Family is already stronger than our family. Grandpa won't get into trouble with the Lawton Family."
Hearing that, Lexy suddenly felt sad. She bowed her head in despair.
For Veronica's sake, Finley would not look for trouble for the Lawton Family. Should Veronica be hurt?
"Besides, Bryce already defended me. He broke Mike's arms and legs," Veronica added.
Lexy's eyes sparkled with surprise, and finally, she smiled. After a while, she said, "I didn't think my son-in-law could be useful. "
This was the first time she praised Bryce.

It was late at night. Bryce walked out of the bedroom and towards the toilet but saw someone in the living room.

Bryce knows Cory's intentions, but Bryce doesn't hate Cory because Cory cares about Tamara's family."David, where's Tamara?" Bryce asked."She's not at home.

Would you like to go with us?" asked Veronica gently.Veronica felt that Bryce was not as intrusive as usual at that time. Therefore, Veronica invited Bryce to go for a walk together.Despite not saying anything, Lexy did not prevent Bryce from going with Veronica.Earlier, she would be the first to ban Bryce.Lexy felt ashamed walking next to Bryce, a useless man.Hearing Veronica's words, Bryce did not refuse.

"Veronica, the Makmur Group wants to bring you down. I had no choice. We just wanted to make a living. Now, all the small and medium-sized enterprises in Umbrella City dare not cooperate with you," Mr Jackson replied bitterly and hung up."The Prosperous Group?" Veronica was shocked.It was a famous big company in Umbrella City, and the boss was Harold. His status was higher than that of a first-class family; he was from the second most influential family after the three famous families in Umbrella City.Veronica did not understand why Harold was against her. He had no way of dealing with such a person.Later, Veronica asked someone to get Harold's phone number and call him."Mr Corwin, nice to meet you. I'm Veronica. Why did you do that?" asked Veronica in a low voice."This is Veronica. It doesn't feel familiar to me when you call me that. We'll be a family in a month. You should call me uncle," Harold said with a smile on the phone.<

Finally, Quinton remembered that Veronica was Bryce's wife.Quinton has been checking Bryce's background since the last time Bryce left. Quinton learnt that Bryce was the useless husband of the Carter Family.It was too trivial for Quinton to be surprised by that. "Bryce is a genius doctor. How can they call him useless?"Ultimately, Quinton convinced himself that Bryce was going through a life ordeal.Quinton thought Bryce would ask for something extraordinary in return for the favour. Bryce's simple request surprised Quinton greatly.Quinton took the opportunity and immediately agreed, "Of course, Doctor Milano. I won't let you down."*

At night.Lexy and Veronica are chatting in their palatial home.Lexy smiled and said, "Veronica, you've solved your company's problems, right?"Lexy says this because she feels Veronica is not as worried as yesterday."How did you know?"Veronica was a little surprised. She continued, "Quinton helped me. I don't know this person. Someone has asked Quinton to help me, but I don't know who did it.""It must be Mr Jaxon. He comes from an influential family. He belongs to Quinton's social circle. He had promised to solve the problem yesterday. He succeeded."Lexy was beaming when talking about Anthony.

Bryce frowned. He did not explain anything.In his eyes, those people were childish. He thought it was not important to explain anything.Seeing Bryce shut up, Veronica said, "I'm glad you've changed lately. I'm also glad that you have a firm stance. However, you are too arrogant."I know you're good at fighting. What's the point? You're amazing in the eyes of ordinary people. However, to some great people, you're just a clown. Do you know what I've done to fix the problems you've caused? You would never be able to live here if it wasn't for me.""Anthony is from the Jaxon Family. I have to be careful when communicating with him. You shouldn't offend him. Do you know what will happen to you if I don't persuade him?"Veronica sighed and added, "Bryce, be more careful, okay? I'll let you go once I'm in charge of the Carter Family."Veronica did not want to say anything more, so she turned around and returned to her room.At that moment,

Chapter 237: The Other Figure
At that time, the three of them came to the throne.The first thing that caught their attention was not the largest treasure chest, but a statue of the Great King on the throne.Liam was very surprised when he felt the splendour of the statue.Of course, it was pressure coming from the Great King.Even though it was a statue, she felt like kneeling before it."Damn. It turns out that the Great King looks quite ugly. When I finish taking the treasure, I'll have to pee on his statue head before I leave. It was fun thinking about that."Henley laughed.Then, the three of them focused their attention on the treasure chest beside them.Some of the treasure chests have been opened to reveal the jewellery inside. The jewellery inside exudes luxury.Suddenly, the three of them smiled happily.Now they are no longer interested in the usual gold and silver jewellery.After all, they are not ordinary people.Ho
Chapter 236: Fighting for Treasure
The eyes of all the statues were fixed on the three of them standing in the way of the gold coins.Although the eyes of the statues were blank, they looked as if they were staring at the enemy.Although the statues had no consciousness, the three of them knew that anyone who dared to enter their master's Mausoleum would never be forgiven.The three of them were also frightened by the events unfolding before their eyes."Well, of course the Great King's tomb is not simple. This is the first time I've seen those statues rise." Liam said in surprise.Before they could react, thousands of statues rushed at them."Damn, these statues have been resurrected."Henley took out his short knife and said loudly, "Elena, let's fight together."Elena nodded and said to Liam, "Liam, be careful."After that, Elena and Henley ran towards the statues.Desing. Desing.Their weapons clashed with the weapons of the statues and made a loud noise.The strength of the statues was not very great. Almost all o
Chapter 235: Continuing the Journey
Upon entering the tomb, Bryce fell silent.This tomb is too big.Probably about a few hectares.it is almost equivalent to a large playground.Who else had a large tomb in ancient times?Only the Great King.However, that was not the most surprising thing to Bryce. What was most surprising was the view inside.The first thing you notice are the statues of warriors densely placed inside the tomb.Each statue was the same size as a normal human being. He can even see the faces of each statue.The soldiers held their weapons which made the atmosphere at the tomb tense.Although they were not real, they still gave Bryce a sense of reality. It was as if Bryce wasn't dealing with statues, but real soldiers.It gave him the illusion of being on an ancient battlefield.In the centre of the square rows formed by the statues, there is a corridor.The whole street is made of gold coins.The path c
Chapter 234: Guessing Right
"Well, I was right. You can't know the way out. There's only one way out and the others lead to execution. Even if you have a 50% chance of guessing the right answer, you miss it. You're just rubbish. You're not a rival for Liam."When she heard Liam's words, Henley looked at Bryce with a sneer and said coldly.In Henley's heart, Liam's answer was always right. There must be no problem.Liam pretended to look at Bryce calmly and wanted to hear what Bryce had to say.He was forced to give the wrong answer.According to her guess, Bryce would not have thought of the right path. Bryce might get confused by the grave owner and choose the execution route.However, Bryce's answer was beyond her expectations.Bryce chose the right path.According to the rules set beforehand, the person who is the fastest and gives the right answer wins.That's why when Bryce gives the right answer, Liam will lose because he has the same answer as Bryce.How can he admit defeat?He could only point out the pa

Henley and Elena also noticed Liam's displeased look."Young man, can you do it?"If you really don't have the ability to figure out which path is the right one, there's no need to pretend. No one is blaming you. It does require high knowledge and it's not as easy as avoiding a few traps. If you lead us to a dead end, I will kill you before we die."Henley threatened while looking at Bryce with a hateful gaze."That's right. If you really can't, just ask Liam to do it. After all, not everyone is as good as Liam." Elena said scornfully.Bryce ignored the three people. His eyes flickered and he used the God's Eye move once more.In an instant, he could see both ends of the path in the cave. He could see which path was the right one.Bryce opened his eyes and found the right path. However, the other three thought that he had done absolutely nothing.In addition, Bryce did not admit that he could not find the right path. The three

Liam led them. They soon arrived at a place halfway up the mountain."According to my previous calculations, the entrance of the Great King's Mausoleum should be near."Liam looked around and took out a compass.He fiddled with the compass many times. Then, the compass needle began to spin rapidly.After a while, the needle finally stopped and pointed in a direction."That way."Liam pointed in a direction and began to move faster.When he had walked about fifty metres, the compass needle suddenly changed direction and pointed in the opposite direction.He immediately stopped and pointed to the direction under his feet. Then he said, "Here. Tambun, let's do your job."Okay. Leave it to me."Henley moved to this place quickly.He twisted his wrist.Then a silver shimmering short sword appeared in his grasp.He then flicked his short sword and stirred the ground beneath his feet.Moments later, a stone door leading to the sky appeared on the ground.The stone door was carved with intric

Bryce was also surprised to see the three people.However, he didn't care how the three of them came. After all, he didn't interact much with these three people, so he ignored them and left directly."I was talking to you."When she saw this, Elena's face looked angry.In the past, when a man saw her, he would be infatuated with her and could not move.But now, Elena was being ignored."Shit. You bastard. Didn't you hear Elena talking to you? Are you deaf?"Henley was angry and wanted to defend Elena. He rushed after Bryce and blocked his way.With a creepy smile on his face, Henley continued, "You mentioned me at the shop earlier. There were too many people, so I didn't hit you then. I said that if I met you again in the future, I would teach you how to behave. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.""Out of the way." Bryce had nothing more to say."How dare you. I will kill you." Henley was enraged and was about to attack.However, there was a sudden calm voice, "Tambun, s
