As Scott moved forward, he felt as though countless eyes were fixed on him, yet there was no one around except himself. Perhaps there were hidden figures lurking in the shadows that he couldn't detect. Nonetheless, Scott paid no heed and continued forward at a rapid pace.After a while, a door just wide enough for a single person finally appeared before him. The door was bathed in light, making it impossible for Scott to see what lay beyond. Without hesitation, Scott walked into the brightness.A surge of immense energy passed through his body. Scott felt as though he was bathing in warm water.Opening his eyes wide, Scott found himself facing a colossal library made of intertwined trees, books neatly arranged inside their trunks, vertically ascending to great heights. Some books seemed to reach all the way to the top, containing knowledge that could take a lifetime to read.In the center of the library stood a chair and a table, where a figure was seated. With a perfect physique an
“In the end, what was the answer?" Scott couldn't help but wonder. No one could answer him.By now, Scott's body was covered with numerous small and large wounds, and his strength and energy were running low.Scott lay on the ground and looked up at the top of the library. Suddenly, the light from the library's peak shone strangely bright, so much so that even if he closed his eyes, it pierced through, causing pain.Scott furrowed his brow, growling, "Can't you stop shining?!"As soon as he finished speaking, the dazzling light on the library's peak suddenly began to dim until it completely disappeared, no longer blinding him.Scott scoffed, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.He stood up abruptly from the ground, ignoring the pain his body groaned with, as if he couldn't feel it at all.Scott simply opened his eyes wide, looking up at the library's peak. Indeed, everything seemed to have had an answer from the beginning. He could control the light as he pleased. With just his will, n
The different colored energy streams filled the sky, enveloping the giant monster. The giant monster roared loudly, swinging its arms, massive dark energy emanating from its hands, rendering the attacks of the celestial spirits largely ineffective against it. At that moment, the dark energy of the monster began to engulf the world tree. Suddenly, a large figure rushed in, wrapping around the body of the giant monster. It was none other than Ayer. His body was almost as large as the monster's, grappling with each other, engaged in relentless combat. The spiritual essence of the monster had now hidden within the giant monster's body to avoid injury from Ayer.Ayer roared, "Leave this to me! Quickly protect the world tree!" With that, he continued to battle the giant monster, their colossal bodies entwined. Ayer bit fiercely into the monster's neck, prompting it to roar and use its massive hands to pry Ayer's serpent-like body away, the sound of bones cracking sending chills down one'
"Do you really think staying at home and doing housework is so admirable? Our family doesn't need a son-in-law like you! If you can't earn money, you should leave this house!""What a disgrace, that old man. It is indeed foolish to think you're a business genius, ha ha ha!""Now get out of this house. Existing like you only deserves contempt from others!"The lingering sounds echoed in Scott's head like the wails of demons in hell. Even though a year had passed, those words remained deeply etched in Scott's mind and couldn't be erased.He thought he could ignore those things, but it seemed whether he paid attention or not was beyond his control. Ultimately, those words felt like knives cutting through Scott's heart; just recalling them made it bleed profusely.Scott stood in front of the A.J Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in City A. Drizzling rain lightly fell, causing Scott's tousled hair to be adorned with tiny raindrops. However, Scott didn't mind; he didn't even need an umbre
Scott seemed as if he couldn't perceive the gazes from all directions, or perhaps he could but chose to ignore them, calmly putting food on his plate.His movements were graceful, leisurely enjoying the delicious dishes.For Scott, the looks from these people meant nothing at all."Oh my, isn't it our dear son-in-law?" At this moment, a somewhat sharp voice rang out. Scott didn't need to look to know who was speaking. He lifted his eyes and indeed saw his mother-in-law and his wife coming over. Since he knew this in advance, Scott didn't show much surprise.On the contrary, others were astonished to see Scott's mother-in-law, especially when they heard her address him. Immediately, disdain concealed poorly on their faces.Mrs. Campbell slowly approached Scott, wearing an air of arrogance, her gaze full of disdain, as if Scott were some kind of trash.Moving ahead of her was Aboli, his wife. Just like her name, Aboli was undeniably beautiful. A face like a flower, large and capti
In contrast to his seemingly relaxed demeanor, his voice was truly chilling, as if a venomous snake could strike at any moment.The crowd fell silent for a moment as if frozen. Only Mrs. Campbell still hadn't sensed the danger; perhaps she was too accustomed to Scott's submissive appearance in the past. She was only surprised that Scott dared to tell her to leave.After a brief silence, she burst into laughter, "Ha ha ha, what are you talking about? Someone like you invited by the mayor? Are you still dreaming? This isn't a dream, ha ha ha."She laughed loudly, lacking any courtesy. Others seemed to be infected by her tone and couldn't help but burst into suppressed laughter. Indeed, it was ridiculous for Scott to claim he was invited.Who did he think he was? Just a ridiculed son-in-law and a joke for the entire city. Thinking about it, a sense of fear among the others immediately dissipated. They felt that the intimidating gazes earlier were probably just their illusion.Mrs.
Those who had mocked Scott earlier felt a sense of unease within. The recent events confirmed that Scott was indeed related to ProTrade Capital, but they were unsure of his exact position.Despite this, Mrs. Campbell dared to call her son-in-law incompetent; it was truly absurd, clearly showing that the Campbell family couldn't discern the bigger picture!On the other side, the mayor wore a smiling face, engaging in discussions with Walter about their investment project. Occasionally, he glanced at Scott, displaying a hint of uncertainty.He could sense that Scott's status was certainly not low. However, Scott was peculiar in some way, making it difficult for the mayor to figure out how to respond to him.Overall, the conversation between the mayor and Walter seemed harmonious. On the other hand, Scott continued to sit on the side, eating and drinking. His eyes, as dark as ink, devoid of any light, were fixed on the mayor, revealing no hint of his thoughts..Inside the official
Scott hailed a taxi to go to the Campbell house. However, it seemed luck wasn't entirely on his side. The taxi stopped just in line with a black BMW.Scott and the person inside the BMW got out at the same time. When the man opposite him saw Scott, he seemed somewhat surprised. Then, he glanced at the taxi slowly driving away. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up in a mocking smile, his eyes filled with disdain.He held a bouquet of roses in his hand, slowly walking towards Scott, smiling and saying, "Well, well, look who we have here. Isn't this the groom who was kicked out of his wife's house a year ago? Surprising to see you still daring to come back, Scott. Aren't you ashamed?"The man opened his mouth and immediately started mocking Scott, who was not unfamiliar with such behavior. This man was none other than Brando, the one who pursued Aboli.Even in the past, when he and Aboli were married, Brando never stopped his pursuit. In the year since he was kicked ou
