Chapter 168

Author: Only For You
Harvey stood frozen, muttering, "How could this happen? This isn't right… This can't be right…"

He was completely floored by the news as he had invested everything he had, even borrowing money and convincing the Stevens family to contribute their savings.

He had planned to pay them back a token amount from the payout money and keep the lion's share for himself. Yet, he was in an even worse financial position than before.

For a fleeting moment, Harvey genuinely thought about just ending it all.

"Harvey, what's going on?" Christina asked, her voice heavy with disappointment. "Did your family's inside information turn out to be wrong, or were you just gambling blindly?"

Harvey's attempt at a smile looked more like a grimace. "Christie, please believe me, we really did have inside information. I wouldn't have—"

"I don't believe anything you say anymore," Christina cut him off. "Mr. Thatcher made it clear—we've lost everything."

Irene shouted, "Harvey, I don't care what it t

I might delete the app soon because I just don’t understand why you release 8-10 slides then boom ads. Why are you restricting the volume I read in a day. It’s boring to wait for 24hrs to just few slides

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1548

    Chantelle's mouth opened wide as she was about to scream. Fortunately, Andrew reacted quickly and covered her mouth with his hand while drawing his hunting knife to watch the slowly opening coffin lid. The owner of the bloody hand stood up with a pained expression, muttering, "Damn it! I swear I'm going to kill that monster." Both of them breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Kevin climb out of the coffin. Andrew looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Are you injured?" Kevin's face was grim as he replied, "That monster took two clips from me, and I nearly lost an arm. Luckily, I learned from you and hid in a coffin, which saved my life." "Kevin, you're pretty quick-witted," Andrew said with a smile. Kevin snarled back, "Cut the crap, Andrew! The Wright family hasn't gained anything on this treasure hunt, and we've lost more than half our people. Now you're going to figure out a way to get me into that tomb chamber, or I'll blow your brains out!" Then, he pressed his

    Andrew did not deny it, saying, "You're right. It's precisely because of your official status that I've been looking out for you this whole time because of your official status." Chantelle frowned and complained, "What's that thing poking into me from below?" Andrew's face turned red as he stammered, "I-It's nothing! Let's get up—we can't stay cramped in here forever." "Wait, let me see what's been jabbing me this whole time," Chantelle said, reaching down to grab Andrew's manhood. "Mr. Lloyd, you're shameless, perverted, and disgusting!" she shouted, her face flushing as she pushed open the coffin lid and quickly climbed out. Even if the Night Hag was outside, she could not care less anymore. This guy had actually gotten aroused while she was on top of him, which made her feel utterly humiliated. Despite the danger outside and everyone being so tense, he could still get hard—what a perverted creep. Andrew followed suit and climbed out of the coffin, feeling genuinely h

    "Mr. Lloyd, wait for me!" Chantelle shouted from behind. Andrew cursed loudly, "Are you crazy? Why did you follow me?" Despite his harsh words, he slowed down slightly to let Chantelle catch up. The passage was not particularly long, and after running about 300 feet, they could see the end ahead. Andrew made a split-second decision, grabbing Chantelle and ducking into a side chamber. Like the previous chambers they had seen, this one also contained coffins, and one of them happened to have its lid open. Andrew wrapped his arms around Chantelle and leaped into the coffin. Then, he reached back and swiftly pulled the stone lid shut. Outside, they heard a loud crash followed by gunshots. Andrew did not need to think twice to know that Kevin was battling the Night Hag, but the commotion lasted only a moment before falling silent. "Is Mr. Wright Senior dead?" Chantelle whispered. Andrew shook his head, indicating he did not know either. The stone coffin had a musty smell,

    Andrew's voice was as quiet as he could possibly make it. He gestured for everyone to retreat while keeping their movements absolutely minimal. This Night Hag's duty was clearly to guard the tomb chamber entrance. Once it moved beyond its patrol range, everyone should theoretically be safe. Unfortunately, at that exact moment, a voice rang out at the worst possible time. "Andy, bet you didn't expect me! Your sworn brother is here! Hey, what are you guys doing? Playing house or something? You're all standing there like statues!" The voice boomed loudly without any attempt at stealth. Andrew felt like committing murder as he slowly turned his head. Sure enough, he saw Kevin and three of his men walking confidently out of the passage they had come from, looking smug. "Andy, look out! The Night Hag is charging at you!" Tiana screamed. Without hesitation, Andrew spun around and ran for his life, pushing his speed to the absolute limit. The Night Hag's entire body pressed a

    A piercing scream echoed through the tomb chamber, sounding particularly bone-chilling. Tiana's trembling voice followed immediately after. "W-What the hell is that thing?" Andrew smiled bitterly, realizing there was no hiding it anymore. He drew his knife and slashed toward Lenny's head without even looking, but the dangling tongue moved with lightning speed, wrapping around Lenny's neck and pulling him upward. Thankfully, his hunting knife struck faster, cutting the tongue in half with a single stroke. A sound like a baby's roar thundered throughout the tomb chamber entrance, filled with excruciating pain. With loud swooshing sounds, several strands of black hair descended along the tomb chamber door, writhing as if they were alive. What followed was a creature so horrifying that even Andrew felt his breath catch in his throat. It was a woman dressed in white, her body seemingly boneless as she sprawled with limbs spread wide. Her tongue hung out grotesquely, her head tw

    "Andrew, watch out!" Tiana cried in alarm. Andrew remained perfectly still, staring intently at the Deathbug on his shoulder. The creature was not particularly large—only about half the size of his palm. However, Andrew knew that one bite from this thing could knock him unconscious instantly, even with his resistance to toxins. "Andy, don't move. I'll swat it for you," Logan whispered. Andrew quickly warned, "Don't! This bug's blood is hotter than molten lava and extremely poisonous. Just one drop could make my skin rot away." Logan immediately froze, not daring to move another muscle. "Mr. Lloyd, how can we help you?" Chantelle asked with tears in her voice. Instead of answering, Andrew slowly brought his torch closer to the Deathbug on his shoulder. As the firelight and heat approached, the creature let out a shrill shriek and flew up frantically, beating its wings. Seizing the opportunity, Andrew kicked it mid-air, sending it flying. The bug smashed against the
