Wrong

'Can this help me break through?' Oliver wondered.

He began to absorb the energy from the Monster Core.

However, he had just absorbed a little energy, he suddenly coughed.

Coug! Coug! Coug!

He coughed many times, becoming louder with time.

When that Monster Core energy entered his body, it felt too heavy. His body automatically rejected the energy from entering.

"What's going on? Is this fake stuff?"

He became panicked into saying nonsense.

Suddenly, the wolf's voice echoed from outside.

"Hahaha, bro. That Monster Core is too powerful for you. Although your cultivation is extraordinary, your human body can't withstand the power of a Monster Core of that level. You need to at least break through to the Spiritual Master Realm. However, my body can absorb it because monster bodies are innately stronger than human bodies."

Oliver, "..."

He didn't want to believe the wolf's words, but this situation seemed to indicate that.

He thought that with a stronger Monster Core it could save time because then he wouldn't have to collect as many Monster Cores.

Unfortunately, this plan did not conform to the laws of nature.

After a long silence, he could only sigh, putting the purple-colored Monster Core into his storage ring.

It was bought at a higher price, although he couldn't use it now, he wanted it to be truly useful to him.

He then opened the other briefcase.

It contained two small objects with wing-like shapes fused to each other, seemingly made of a rare material, blackish white in color.

From the color it was somewhat different from the photo, but the shape was exactly the same. Perhaps it was because the photo did not fully detect the color of the object.

He picked it up, which was surprisingly light but also very hard.

Ants might be able to move it, but even giants might not be able to crush it.

He placed it on his wrist. It was said to be free to place anywhere. And it already had an adhesive that would stick firmly, guaranteed not to fall off.

When the artifact stuck to his hand, he instantly felt connected.

Information on how to use it entered his brain.

He basically just needed to give the artifact some energy.

After that, it could instantly help him fly.

Following the instructions he received, he immediately floated into the air, making excitement appear on his face as flying directly like this was an experience that not everyone could feel.

While levitating, he found it very easy to control himself. Where he wanted to go, it only required a thought. The artifact did the rest.

Despite buying it at a high price, Oliver feels it's well worth it. He wouldn't mind if it was more expensive.

Perhaps he could be considered lucky for managing to win that auction.

He was sure it was just a coincidence that no one richer was looking or else it would have been even more expensive.

For this one artifact, he didn't even keep it in his storage ring. He allowed it to be kept on his wrist.

That way, if he was suddenly attacked and then he jumped, he could keep flying in the air.

Now he was a bit hungry, so he walked out of her room, planning to go outside the apartment to buy some food.

The red wolf was apparently lying on the floor, looking very lazy.

His open eyes were staring at Oliver.

This time, he actually looked innocent, making Oliver have a hard time guessing his mentality like a human of what age.

"I want to buy some food, stay here," Oliver said to him.

"Bro, buy me a roast," the wolf replied, apparently asking to be bought food as well.

"Ohh, do you also consume meat?" asked Oliver in response.

Although wolves were indeed animals that consumed meat, but this one was no ordinary wolf and his father also only asked him to feed him Monster Core.

"Of course, otherwise my tongue will die," replied the wolf, lifting his head up slightly.

Oliver rolled his eyes, no longer responding.

He walked out of his apartment carrying an umbrella.

He himself also wanted to eat grilled meat because his stomach was too hungry. If it was just bread and eggs, he wouldn't be full.

It was just that, just as he walked out of his apartment, he wondered how he was going to buy food while his money was already almost gone.

The remaining money he had was basically only enough to buy simple foods because the last time he bought clothes, his personal money was drastically reduced.

Even though he was thinking, he didn't stop his steps.

In no time at all, he arrived at the lobby only to be made to knit his brows as even the lobby was starting to become waterlogged.

The Black Lamborghini that was parked in front of the apartment building had also sunk to half its tires.

"Why is the water rising so fast?" Oliver couldn't help but wonder.

Of course, this kind of situation was common, but it usually only happened after half a day of heavy rain.

It had only been raining for about 30 minutes or so, but it had already become like that.

Had some of the waterways been damaged?

This made activities very difficult even though people still forced themselves to move.

Most of them were wearing waterproof boots, but Oliver didn't have such shoes so he chose not to wear shoes at all.

"Boss..." Suddenly someone said the word boss loudly.

Looking to the side, Oliver found that it was from Leon, which meant he was the one he was calling.

Leon wasn't alone, he was with a few men who also seemed to be gangsters. Some were thin and some were fat. What they had in common was the large necklaces around their necks and the long earrings in their ears.

Leon smiled happily as he approached him while the men who followed him just waited behind.

"What's up?" Oliver asked him, knitting his eyebrows slightly.

Although he did make Leon work for him, but he actually didn't take it seriously.

A gangster, this was just the kind of person who made him feel uncomfortable.

He had no interest in interacting excessively with him.

Of course, he was a bit annoyed that he brought his friends.

"Umm..." Leon cleared his throat first before answering, "boss, I wanted to tell you, just now there was a woman who came to look for you. I didn't dare tell her where your apartment was, so I asked her to wait at a restaurant."
