Shonda was stunned for a moment after her grandmother hung up on her."What's wrong with her? Why does she want me to marry someone I've only met once?"She could not figure it out no matter how hard she racked her brains. After some thought, Shonda picked up her phone and called her best friend to ask.…The storm on the Internet was still surging.However, Starnight's crisis had been resolved, and people stopped vandalizing its stores. Operations resumed as normal.One day, Seth's phone rang. The caller was Yvonne."Mr. Yeager, are you busy right now?"Yvonne's voice had a shy edge to it.After she sobered up that day, she felt so ashamed that she secretly left Seth's villa early in the morning.She did not want to meet Seth again to avoid any more embarrassment.However, Seth ended up in the middle of such a huge scandal within a few short days. Yvonne had no choice but to call him again.She knew that this was the time when Seth needed money the most. It was also a good
Seeing Seth again, even though Yvonne was prepared, she still felt quite shy and barely dared to meet his eyes.Seth did not bring up past events and invited her to sit down.Just at that moment, the takeout arrived.“It’s almost noon. Let’s eat before we talk.”“Oh, okay.” Yvonne nodded obediently. Seeing the table filled with food, she asked, “This is a lot. Is someone else coming?”“No, it’s just for me.”Rosemary was not at the company but was out handling other matters.Seth had specifically selected two women from the Night Wolves to protect her.Plus, with her own considerable strength, most people could not bother her.Yvonne blinked and suddenly blushed. She thought of a saying—men who could maintain a good figure while eating a lot were strong in various aspects.Seth looked at her slightly reddened face. “Why is your face red? Is the AC not cold enough?”“No, no.” Yvonne shook her head, quickly lowering it to eat.After meeting Seth, inappropriate images would sp
Six chuckled and said, “Wally, I see you as a good person. You're very capable as well. So, I’m offering you a chance to make some money.”“What exactly are you trying to say?!”“This batch of goods needs to be sent to Jonesville, right? From here to Jonesville, it should take about two days.“If you delay it by one day, you can get 20,000. It'll be 40,000 for two days and so on.”“You’re from another real estate company!” Wally realized immediately.Six did not deny it. “I’m just an employee, too. It’s a pity to miss such a good money-making opportunity.”“That’s impossible. It’s easy to get caught, and I could lose my job and possibly face a lawsuit.” Wally shook his head in refusal, feeling that this was not reliable.Six continued, “Wally, your two kids will be going to school soon, right? Your wife is not in good health, and you’re still living in a rented house, no?“In a few years, when your kids are at the right age and if you still don’t have a house, you won't be ab
Not long after they left, a group of people approached the construction site.They did not go in and merely observed from the outside. They then departed with sneers on their lips.…Seth’s life became very routine afterward.During the day, he dealt with various affairs in the company.In the evenings, he guided Rosemary, Willow, and Alaska in their practice.They still retained the energy in their bodies from consuming the snake meat from before.Under continuous training, the latent energy inside them was fully developed.Their progress was incredibly rapid.In a few days, Seth planned to give them medicine made from the Blood Lotus to ingest, at which point their strengths would experience a surge.Three days passed quickly.That noon, Rosemary received a call from the construction site, asking why the materials had not arrived yet.Frowning, she immediately called Shonda to inquire.“What? None of the materials have arrived?!”Upon hearing this, Shonda immediately se
Steelman Building Materials Factory specialized in producing rebar and door frames. They were one of Brocade Real Estate’s partners.Their boss, a woman in her 40s known as Lila, revealed a mocking smile after hanging up the phone.“Stupid woman, do you think I'd really agree to help you transport materials?!”Across from her sat a scholarly-looking man with glasses.Hearing Lila’s words, the man laughed. “Lila, your choice is wise. Brocade Real Estate won’t last much longer. Choosing to cooperate with us is how you secure your future.”Lila also laughed. “Of course. You guys are the leading enterprise in the country, and the purchase price you offered me is 30% higher than that woman, Shonda.”The man adjusted his glasses, a cold light flashing in his eyes. “Shonda thinks she has solved the materials problem. Little does she know a bigger crisis awaits.”Lila nodded. “With this back and forth, her project will be delayed at least half a month. If she loses a million a day, she’
As for Seth, they simply ignored him.Wolf's gaze was icy as she scoffed. “Get lost!”These men were thick-skinned and quite bold.Having been bachelors for many years, they were not going to leave just because Wolf Diecinueve was being stern.Far from leaving, they laughed heartily and reached out to grab Wolf instead.The village had not been visited by a woman in a long time. How could they let her go?However, these men had hit a snag this time. With a slight exertion, Wolf broke the arm of one man who reached out to her. She kicked him in the abdomen, and he fell to the ground with a scream.She then spun around, her legs whipping out and knocking two other men to the ground.Her actions also angered other men watching from afar. They all ran over, some even holding sickles, hoes, and the like.“Where did this fierce woman come from?!”“You dare to run wild in our village? Do you not wish to live anymore?!”“Catch her and humiliate her thoroughly!”…Facing 30 or 40 m
Originally, Seth assumed that the head of such an impoverished village would be some bald old man.However, to his surprise, it turned out to be a very beautiful, charming young woman.She looked to be approximately 35 years old. She wore jeans and had a very full figure.How could such a woman live peacefully in a village full of bachelors?Nonetheless, Seth quickly understood that this woman was an expert in using poison.Likely, the men in the village knew she was venomous and dared not harbor any illicit thoughts toward her.“Oh, you want the rights to exploit the sand and stone behind the village?”The young woman revealed a deadly smile. Her voice was soft and mellow, like a kitty. It tickled one’s heart upon listening.Seth looked at her. “I come with utmost sincerity. Mining sand and stone can create wealth for the village. It’s a win-win situation.”“You do make sense.” The woman nodded, but suddenly, her face became incredibly cold. “But I reject your proposal. Get o
The woman showed a bitter smile. “The Medical Order no longer exists. What does it matter if you have a body that's invulnerable to all poisons?“My enemies are from Imperial City. Unless you can become a Grandmaster, you can't possibly offer me protection.“Young man, you'd better leave now and stop disturbing me here.”“A Grandmaster, huh?” Seth spoke calmly. “What a coincidence, I’m indeed a Grandmaster.”She snorted. “Stop boasting. If you’re a Grandmaster, I’ll call you 'Dad' right now…”As soon as she said this, Seth suddenly unleashed an aura of a Grandmaster.There was no need to reveal more. A Grandmaster was nearly an invincible being in all the nearby cities.The woman immediately fell to her knees, frightened. The scene before her entirely exceeded her understanding of the world.“Am I dreaming? Have I traveled back to ancient times?”She muttered to herself, unable to believe what she was seeing.Seth pointed a finger, releasing an inner energy that shot out and
