I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 555 I believe you can handle this pressure, Your Highness.
"Corey...Corey..."

Everything they had just witnessed was so shocking that Chris and Kim Kardashian were still trembling through the wisps of smoke.

The nearly 200-pound giant black dog shrank smaller and smaller right before their eyes. Not only was it grabbed by Fang Jisi's hand, but it was also instantly refined, leaving only a handful of ashes!
How could such a thing happen?!

Are you sure this isn't a film about Dark Phoenix or Scarlet Witch?
Who exactly is this Fangis?

No, is this a human... or a god?

Kendall's eyes lit up. Thinking of the scene at the Met Gala where Harvey Weinstein licked the young man's shoes, she felt that she suddenly understood.

Wait, Met Gala?

Mysterious Theft at MET!
Kendall immediately thought of the shocking case that occurred more than six months ago.

At the time, this incident caused a huge uproar worldwide, and the entire board of directors and management of MET were thoroughly investigated.

If the ASF incident, comparable to a global earthquake, hadn't occurred over the UN not long afterward, stealing the spotlight from the MET theft case, this incident would probably still be a topic of conversation for many people today.

"As you can see, Corrigan no longer exists in this world."

"Now do you understand why William is so infatuated with you?"

Fang Yu waved his hand, and a Cohiba 50th Anniversary cigarette appeared in his hand.

"No, it should be called addiction."

Just as Kendall was about to go find a lighter and cigar cutter, Fang Yu lightly snapped his fingers, and a V-shaped cut automatically appeared on the cap of the cigar, even neater than one made with a cigar cutter. The gold label at the stem of the cigar also snapped and fell off.

A dark red flame lit up at the base of the eggplant, and a wisp of smoke rose from it.

In a moment, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner smelled a cigar aroma that was far richer than that of the Cohiba Century 5.

The 50th anniversary edition is a commemorative gold-leaf cigar case that Cohiba just released this year. It is even rarer and more precious than Cohiba's top-of-the-line BHK product line. Only 50 cases are available worldwide, with 50 cigars in each case.

BHK is Cohiba's high-end product line because, among the regular series, only this one has Medio Tiempo (small leaflets at the top of the plant) added to the center of the citrus fruit.

Only a little over 10 percent of tobacco plants can produce this type of tobacco leaf.

Medio Tiempo is the most important source of flavor for Cuban cigars. Because there are only two leaflets on a single tobacco plant, even Cohiba only adds it in small quantities to its high-end product line.

The 50th anniversary edition uses Cohiba Reserva tobacco leaves for the wrapper, binder, and filler, which are aged for more than three years. The filler has an extremely high Medio Tiempo content and is aged for five to ten years.

This cigar not only uses Cohiba's finest tobacco leaves and manufacturing techniques, but even the cabinet is handcrafted by Elie Bleu, known as the Hermès of cigar humidors. The cabinet is covered in gold leaf and was wildly hyped before its release. The first cabinet sold for a record-breaking 35 MyCNY at the initial auction.

That's equivalent to nearly 8000 mace for a cigar.

These collector's edition Cohiba cigarettes are mostly bought for collection purposes; I doubt many people, except for Fang Yu, would actually be willing to smoke them.

There are countless millionaires in the world who can afford to spend 100,000 mace every day, but there are only fifty cases of gold leaf cabinets for the 50th anniversary.

Even if I can afford it, I can't bear to part with it.

Because there are too few.

Fang Yu has three boxes of 50th anniversary gold foil cabinets, all of which are from the inventory of the Quanzhi Society.

The Omniburg has a huge stock of such connoisseurs, with six or seven cellars filled with all kinds of different cigars. I don’t know why the Omniburg keeps so much of this stuff.

But he doesn't have a collecting obsession. No matter how much hype there is, it's just a cigar. If you don't smoke it, it'll just expire.
Cigars, like Pu-erh tea, do have an aging concept. Newly produced BHK cigars need to be aged for three to five years to develop their flavor; however, 50th Anniversary cigars, which have already been aged enough before leaving the factory, will only lose their aroma if left for too long.

Whether it's tobacco, alcohol, tea, or anything else, any hobby that emphasizes "aging" has a point where its flavor reaches its peak.

Proper aging can make it more rounded and full-bodied, but once it exceeds that "appropriate" time, the flavor begins to decline, the structure becomes loose, the aroma is lost, and it eventually spoils.

People are obsessed with the years, but often miss the time when they should really enjoy them.

Fang Yu has always believed that any delicious food should be enjoyed without any burden within its shelf life.

After the 50th anniversary, there's the 55th anniversary in five years, the 60th anniversary in ten years, the 70th anniversary, the 75th anniversary... Hmm? If I write it like this, it seems easy to reach 4,000 words.

Cohiba hasn't gone out of business, so what's there to be reluctant about?

This has always been his philosophy of hedonism.

He neither understood nor respected the hoarding mentality of people like Luo Ziming's mother, who would only eat things when they were about to spoil.

Addicted?

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Kim Kardashian's body trembled.

It shook violently.

How did Fangis know?
At first, she couldn't understand why William would take such a big risk to date her. When he met her at the Craigavan Lodge, he acted like a starving wolf that hadn't eaten meat for three days and three nights.

She thought it was her interest that attracted William, and figured that Prince William probably had a lot of wild games in private, otherwise how could he be so bold?

The two immediately started getting intimate.

Three minutes later, William burst into tears, wrapped himself in a towel, and banged his head against the wall repeatedly. He also started cursing at her, saying that she, this XXX, had ruined everything. The difference in his attitude left her completely bewildered.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She had encountered people who were dissatisfied with her before, but none of them had ever been so rude. They were like someone who hadn't even put their pants on yet, and was already refusing to acknowledge the importance of the system.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she has a relationship with William, she can create a scandal.

She had originally thought that would be the end of it, but to her surprise, William contacted her again the next day.

This time, William seemed even more anxious than the first time. Two minutes later, he turned pale and burst into tears of regret. Although his attitude towards her afterward was not as bad as before, it was still cold.

As a result, on the third day, William called her again.

What happened to the horse that collapsed?

Even with her extensive experience, Kim Kardashian, who has eaten more sausages than Shuanghui's quality inspectors, couldn't understand William's mentality at all. It was almost like her brother's behavior when he was using illegal drugs.

Wait, contraband?

Is it...

This time, Kim Kardashian was smarter. She had William completely under her thumb on the phone, even promising him, "I'll give you anything you want."

You'll give me anything? Fine, then give me the engagement ring you gave Kate, the sapphire engagement ring your mother had.

Kim Kardashian had only tentatively proposed an "impossible condition," never expecting William to give her a sapphire engagement ring.

That's the nature of jewelry; she herself had many pieces of jewelry of better quality than that ring. But the meaning that ring represented gave it a unique value. Unexpectedly, William only let out two suppressed, painful roars on the phone before agreeing immediately and actually bringing Diana's sapphire engagement ring to Craigavan Cottage.

At that moment, Kim Kardashian was filled with doubt and wonder: was she like a "contraband" to William, irresistible?

Is he "addicted" to me?

Although it's unclear how this "addiction" came about, how could William become "addicted" to her after only meeting her once?

As an absolute pragmatist, Kim Kardashian's first reaction was: What's in it for me?
This is why she truly developed the ambition to "marry into the royal family".

She knew very well that as long as the Queen was alive, the royal family would never allow her to marry into the family, and if William insisted, he would most likely have to give up his right to the throne.

Even if the Queen and Charles both die of old age, if William were to divorce his wife and marry her after ascending the throne, it would provoke strong resistance from the cabinet and parliament, and he might even abdicate like Edward VIII.

But what does it matter to me if William loses his right to the throne?
If successful, one will reap huge profits and become a member of the most prestigious royal family in the world.

Even if it doesn't work, I won't lose anything, and my image will be elevated.

A real upgrade in sophistication.

But now, this matter has been revealed by Fangis, who is in front of me and whose humanity is still unknown!
“It’s…you…?” Kim Kardashian stammered, her jaw trembling and her teeth chattering.

"Isn't it obvious?" The flame at the end of the eggplant flickered like breathing as Fang Yu exhaled a long puff of smoke, clearly from his lungs.

"Whoo~"

Cigars shouldn't be inhaled too deeply, but given Fang Yu's current physical condition, let alone the spiciness of a cigar, even if he were thrown into a fire, the smoke wouldn't cause him any harm.

"I won't tell anyone about this, and I won't report it to the police. I'm Kendall's sister, don't kill me..." Kim Kardashian remained silent, trembling with fear.

Just like Ma Bangde, who was eating hotpot and singing songs, the first thing he did when he encountered bandits was to close his eyes. How could he dare to look at Brother Nine of Bamboo's face?

Fang Yu waved his hand and took out a simple, antique-style pure silver ashtray, placing the cigar on it.

Kim Kardashian couldn't help but steal a glance.

She still didn't dare to look at Fang Yu's expression, only noticing the ashtray on the table.

The ashtray is surrounded by a relief of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals.

The twelve zodiac animal sculptures are extremely ugly; they clearly weren't produced in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This ashtray is also a piece from the Nanmai collection that I took from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's an 18th-century gadget, and I don't know how the twelve zodiac animals ended up in Nanmai.

Fang Yu stood up, beckoned with his finger, and Kim Kardashian, who was sitting on the ground, felt her body stand up uncontrollably and sit in a chair. Her Balmain bodysuit, which had been soaked, instantly dried.

Seeing that Fang Yu didn't seem to intend to kill her, Kim Kardashian calmed down a bit and raised her hands: "I'll never do it again, believe me, this is the last time..."

Fang Yu was completely bewildered. What the hell do you mean, "Never again?"

Are you treating me like a victim of a cult?
You just happened to say it with your husband Kanye, didn't you?
"You did a great job." Fang Yu picked up a cigar and took a puff. The 50th Anniversary Gold Foil Cigar really did taste very good; it was the best cigar he had ever smoked.

Well done?
Kim Kardashian glanced at Fang Yu blankly.

"Otherwise, why would I send you to Angkor?"

Fang Yu chuckled.

As Kim Kardashian's initial shock subsided, her mind began to clear. After hearing Fang Yu's explanation and considering the many inconsistencies in the previous events, she immediately realized the truth.

I am just a pawn in this Fangis's game!
A pawn to deal with William!

Why is he targeting William? By the way, he has a good relationship with Harry, could it be that he wants to help Harry succeed to the throne?

No, his purpose is not important. What is important is that I must not delve too deeply into this level of secrecy, otherwise I don’t know when Fangis will kill me without me even noticing!

Thinking of this, Kim Kardashian couldn't help but shudder, and the fear that had just begun to subside surged back into her heart.

“My target isn’t William.” Fang Yu shrugged, as if he had noticed Kim Kardashian’s question.

"What do you need me to do?" Kim Kardashian twisted her fingers, bit her lower lip, and looked at Fang Yu with a pleading expression.

Upon noticing that there was no water in front of Fang Yu, Kim Kardashian stood up and, trembling, poured Fang Yu a glass of ice water.

“I want you to continue your relationship with William.” Fang Yu took the water and glanced at Kendall.

Compared to your sister, this little girl has a very poor sense of service; she still needs to be educated.

To continue the relationship? That's all?
Kim Kardashian looked at him with a questioning expression.

Even if he didn't say it, he would still continue to maintain his relationship with William, provided it was possible.

"While maintaining the relationship, you need to persuade William to renounce his right to the inheritance."

Fang Yu took the iced water that Kim Kardashian handed him, took a sip, and said.

The rules of succession to the Angolan throne are entirely governed by the Bill of Rights and two Acts of Settlement.

The right to the throne is not automatically lost due to personal conduct. Even if a heir to the throne commits a crime, or even a serious crime, as long as they still meet the legal conditions such as "legitimate bloodline" and "Protestantism," they retain all the rights to inherit the throne.

Anglo-Saxon states have a parliamentary sovereignty system. The Act of Succession must be passed by the entire parliament and approved by the monarch before the conditions of succession can be changed or an heir can be removed.

No single body, whether the cabinet, the judiciary, or the royal family, has the power to unilaterally deprive someone of their right of succession.

In other words, as long as William himself does not give up, his status as the second in line to the throne cannot be taken away.

Of course, if this situation were to occur, the royal family and cabinet would use every means to put pressure on him. Ordinary people cannot withstand such pressure and would have no choice but to give up on their own.

He tried to dissuade William from relinquishing his right to the throne? Wasn't he trying to help Harry gain the throne?
Kim Kardashian looked at Fang Yu with suspicion and uncertainty: "William is currently under house arrest, and I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to see him again."

"Hehe, you underestimate the power of 'inexhaustible desire'."

Fang Yu smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, William's desire for you will make him do everything he can to get in touch with you, just like those drug addicts, haha, they'd rather die than lose their own parents just to have a puff."

"I believe you can handle this pressure, Your Highness."

Fang Yu raised the glass of ice water, which was covered with condensation, and raised an eyebrow at Kim Kardashian.
