Chapter 102: 102
“Damn you old man! Don’t be so shameless! How could you ask for money from your savior? If this gets out, would you still want that old face of yours? Also, I didn’t receive any money!” Locke thought that his acting skills were very good, especially since he controlled his facial expression perfectly.
However, Hobrick was really astute. He could smell the smell of fine wine on Locke’s body that had not completely dissipated. In his heart, he firmly believed that Locke had already accepted Adelaide’s benefits!
“Why can’t I? I didn’t ask you to save me! Take away that life-saving grass or whatever it’s called! Also, I’ve lived for more than 70 years! I’ve been irrelevant for a long time now…”
However, Old Man Hobrick was not the only person in need of money.
After all, Locke needed it in order to ascend to the peak in the future!
He simply acted like a scoundrel. He untied the pockets of his shirt and said, “Then find it yourself. If there’s a coin, it’s yours! I’ll never take it back! Instructor John, watch closely. The principal of the academy is robbing a student of their money…”
Locke’s habit had always been to deposit money in the bank. His daily life was also paid by his cell phone, so he did not carry much cash on him!
After being “robbed” by the old man several times of his bread and milk, Locke no longer brought any cash on himself.
John, who was holding two books, had a helpless look on his face. His eyelids were twitching as he watched the old man and the young man interact with each other. Their level of shamelessness was comparable to one another.
John was speechless. He simply threw the books down and went back to sleep.
…
“You have to bring back some bread later!” Hobrick’s voice rang out from the lighthouse window.

With the signed agreement in his hand, Locke said without looking back, “No money! Go buy it yourself!”
Locke was feeling less and less like a student. After all, he had actually interfered in the diplomatic affairs of the university.
However, Hobrick did not seem to mind. He insisted on letting Locke take responsibility for this matter.
“Shoot. I don’t remember the way to the Estelle residence…” Locke scratched his head and took out his phone to dial a number.
“Mr. Locke, you don’t have to be so polite. I can drive over to pick you up!” Butler Löw’s polite voice rang out from the other end.
“No need. I can come over myself. I can find the way. Make sure to prepare a meal for me!” Locke said this matter-of-factly.
Since the contract had been successfully forged, Löw did not mind. After saying that he would wait for Locke at the door, he hung up.
Locke realized that to go to Estelle Manor, he had to pass by the White family’s territory.
The White family was no longer as lively as before. There was not a single person standing at the entrance that used to be filled with guards.
The iconic castle looked very desolate.
The White family’s emblem was no longer hanging on it.
Thinking of the previous events, Locke shook his head and urged his Gale Wings to leave the place.
What Locke did not know, however, was that there were quite a number of people in the White family’s castle at the moment…
“Mr. Joey… Didn’t we already come to an agreement yesterday? Give me a month to sell off the gold and jewelry in my home. I’ll definitely be able to pay you…”
Adrian knelt on the ground humbly and was pleading to a tall man.
“I’ve changed my mind! You guys lured me to watch the battle and even tried to kill me! The more I think about it, the angrier I get. This matter must be renegotiated!” The man named Joey tore up the compensation agreement signed yesterday.

Adrian was enraged by the torn piece of paper, but he dared not speak up.
Ever since his family was wiped out by Locke, the Frank family, which used to be amiable in the past, was suddenly emboldened.
There were very few existences in the Holy City who could go against the Frank family now.
“Then what else do you want? Those gold and jewelry are worth at least tens of billions of federal coins. Isn’t this enough to appease your traumatized mind?” Adrian pounded the ground with his hand and said loudly.
Suddenly, an ice-cold knife touched his neck.
Adrian instantly broke out in cold sweat.
The person holding the knife said in a cold and emotionless voice, “If you speak to my master in such a tone again, I’ll slit your throat!”
“Forget it! Clement! We are dealing with a cripple. He has already received a lot of punishment, although he has not yet fully atoned for his sins!”
Joey’s words were very effective. The middle-aged bald man named Clement immediately sheathed his steel knife and lowered his body, saying, “Master is really broad-minded…”
Joey ignored him and looked down at Adrian, saying, “Other than those gold and jewelry, leave this castle to me as well! I will prepare a house for you in the countryside, and you will spend the rest of your life there to retire!”
“What?” Adrian suddenly raised his head. Terror was scrawled across his face.
The castle was the symbol of the White family! Unless it was absolutely necessary, Adrian would absolutely not sell it!
However, the Frank family was attempting to appropriate it under the pretext of being frightened. This was something Adrian could never accept!
He was about to say something to defend himself, but he noticed that Joey’s gaze had changed!
His blue pupils were emitting a terrifying aura, making people feel intimidated the more they looked at it!
In just a dozen seconds, Adrian felt his pants wetting…
“Get your mind out of the gutter! I’m not negotiating with you, I’m giving you a path to live!” Although Joey was only 31 years old, he had already inherited the family business.
He had completely replaced the White family as the top figure in the Holy City!
Even the federal court was already bending their knees to him!
Forget the small castle, the entire city would come under his rule one day!
“There’s another path for you to take…”
At this moment, a graceful female voice sounded in the hall of the castle.
Joey Frank looked up and saw a beauty with exquisite makeup and a sexy figure walking in his direction in high heels.
“Who is she?”
“My Master is asking you a question!” The big bald head Clement reminded Adrian in a stern voice.
“I’m Alice White…”Alice’s eyes were charming, and her walking posture was very enchanting. She wanted to show all the advantages of her body.
Joey’s face changed into a smile. “So it’s your sister, huh? We haven’t seen each other for a few years. She’s getting more and more beautiful and sexy…”
He immediately went forward and gave a kiss on the hand.
The charming fragrance on Alice’s hand intoxicated him. He refused to let go of her hand for a long time, and his eyes kept glancing at Alice’s chest.
Alice did not mind at all. Instead, she stuck out her chest and took half a step forward…
“Ahem, ahem, ahem…” Clement dared not raise his voice. Instead, he deliberately coughed a few times in an attempt to snap his master back to reality.

( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
