Charmaine quickly said, “Don’t be like that. After how you treated me this morning, don’t you feel the slightest pity for me?”Her voice sounded aggrieved, but inside, she could barely suppress her urge to rip Seth to shreds.The experts she dispatched had returned and were currently examining Seth’s information. There were more than 20 Fifth-ranked Warriors alone!She had gathered numerous computer experts, attempting to pinpoint Seth’s current location.That was why she resorted to acting so coquettishly. She was hoping to delay Seth.However, she was unaware that Seth’s phone was specially encrypted.Never mind just a few computer experts, even an entire country would struggle to decrypt his phone in a short time.At that moment, a red light on Seth’s phone flashed repeatedly.Each blink indicated it had blocked an incoming attack.While Charmaine thought she was being discreet, Seth had noticed it long ago.As he walked back, he teased her, “I’m very busy. I don’t have
“M-Master…”It took all of Charmaine's strength to utter those words.After she spoke, her eyes turned bloodshot, as if flames were burning within them.If the young talents who pursued her knew she called another man ‘Master’, their worldview would surely crumble!Suppressing her immense humiliation, Charmaine asked with a trembling voice, “Where... Where are you now? I want to see you.”She thought that after she called him ‘Master’, Seth would lower his guard. Yet to her shock, Seth’s response from the other end of the line was something that shattered her.“Dream on. You think I don’t know you’re trying to buy time to locate me?“Unless you bring in all the top hackers from the Warhawk Empire, just forget it.“Rest early, my maid!”He emphasized the word ‘maid’ heavily. After speaking, he hung up and blocked her.Charmaine felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her mind went blank.She had been played! Moreover, she had endured such immense humiliation.“Ahhhh
“Not everyone is worthy of tasting my cooking.”These simple words carried an overwhelming sense of dominance.Jade felt a shiver run down her spine. A deep chord struck within her.Her legs involuntarily came together, and her gaze at Seth held a hint of a different meaning.No woman could resist a dominant and assertive man!It was especially so for strong-willed women like Jade.Ordinary men just did not catch her eye.Only someone stronger than her could truly win her over.Meanwhile, Alaska’s face was filled with pride.This was the man she had chosen!At that moment, Jade felt the urge to spend more time with Seth.Changing the topic, she said, “There’s a high-end calligraphy and painting exchange event tonight. I happen to have an extra spot. Would you like to come?”Seth shook his head. “Not interested.”Jade persisted, saying, “Some of the leading figures in the world of oil painting will be there. Even Mr. Wilder, who’s been rising in fame recently, will be atten
Seeing Tobie’s eyes nearly glued to Jade, the woman beside him was visibly displeased. Glancing at Seth standing next to Jade, she said mockingly, “Who is this? He's dressed so ‘plainly’ and looks quite... Is he perhaps Ms. Beth’s lover?”She emphasized the word ‘plainly’ with disdain, insinuating that he looked poor.Tobie’s gaze turned hostile toward Seth.He had not yet had a taste of Jade. How could someone else have the upper hand?As for Seth, he did not bother to argue with such people.However, his silence was taken as an admission by the woman.Not intending to let Seth go, she continued her mockery, “I’ve heard of a profession where men specifically seek wealthy women. You know, gold diggers.“Ms. Beth, be careful you don’t end up being conned.”A cold light flashed in Seth’s eyes.Just because he chose not to argue with a woman did not mean he would stand for such slander.As he was about to take action, Jade acted first.She walked up to the woman and slapped h
Seth turned and saw a sensuously dressed woman standing by his side.She wore a tight evening dress that accentuated her curves.The neckline of her dress was plunging, offering a captivating view that drew one’s gaze involuntarily.Her makeup was perfectly applied, seductive yet regal.She was the kind of woman who, at a single glance, would inspire a strong desire to conquer in a man.“Sir, could you accompany me for a drink? No one else seems willing to stay by my side.”Her lips pouted slightly, giving off a hint of vulnerability.This gesture would melt even the hardest of men.Looking around, Seth noticed many men glaring at her with strong apprehension.Some even deliberately avoided her path.It became evident this woman was not to be trifled with.Seth shrugged, pointing to a corner. “Over there. Help me get more food.”The woman immediately flashed a deadly enchanting smile.She gathered a lot of food and headed to the corner.Many of those who witnessed this ei
A powerful suction emanated from her palms.The Draining Technique was renowned for drawing the life force and inner energy from martial artists to benefit the practitioner.It was a brutal and domineering martial art.Yet, Seth simply looked at her without any emotion.Delia was taken aback. “What’s happening? Why isn’t it working?”This undefeated technique had suddenly failed!If it were not for the warmth she felt from Seth’s skin, she would have thought he was wearing steel armor beneath.She increased her force, but it felt like trying to pump water from a dry well.“How is this possible? Why isn’t it working?”Delia’s beautiful eyes filled with shock and confusion.Then, a realization struck her. “Only someone with a higher martial realm than mine can resist this. Could you be an Advanced Sixth-ranked Warrior?!”Though Delia appeared young, she was nearing 50.Yet her body bore no difference from that of a young woman.This youthful appearance was maintained by the
Having regained some of her vitality, Delia got to her feet.As for Tobie, who was still on the ground, he had none of it left. His body had withered with only his skin and bones remaining.She dragged Tobie into the restroom, then stripped his coat off before donning it on herself. After that, she left quickly with her head down the entire way.There were elevators in all eight corners of this hotel, so she chose the one where she saw the least traffic. She did not want anyone to discover her. After leaving the hotel, she headed straight for her secret base which was not far from the hotel. She had rushed the entire journey, running more than ten red lights. She arrived in just five minutes. Delia tumbled along to the second-floor study. She pressed a switch, and the bookshelf moved, revealing a dark room. She then went in and opened a cabinet before fishing out a bottle containing blood-red pills. Delia threw her head back and downed all of the pills before sitting cross-leg
"Do you want to come to my private bar after this is over? I also invited my secretary, and she said she'll be pole dancing tonight," Jade asked.Seth was about to decline her when his gaze suddenly flicked toward the entrance. Jade followed his gaze and exclaimed in a hushed tone, "How did he get here? Isn't he supposed to be crippled?"News of Kronk's downfall had not been kept secret within this circle. Everyone else present was equally shocked.Kronk certainly lived up to his name. Upon his arrival, he immediately let loose the power that he had obtained as a Grandmaster, sending shockwaves throughout the room."A Grandmaster!""My goodness, am I dreaming?""What happened to him?"After the initial shock, influential figures from various quarters swarmed to make his acquaintance. Even a fool could tell that Kronk's status was skyrocketing now for he was a Grandmaster at such a young age. He had limitless potential for the future.Jade's expression turned solemn as she quick
