Serena gasped in disbelief as she looked at Elijah from head to toe, still trying to process his presence in this place.She had been so sure that the person approaching just now was none other than the expert who had been causing problems for the great families—the one who had also rescued her from the Ainsworth scheme.This was Elijah Langston, but this wasn't the Elijah Langston she had been expecting.This wasn't the dangerous murderer. Instead, it was her insolent husband.Just as she feared, he was insolent enough to come here.But where did he even get this exclusive vehicle from? How could someone like him—clearly penniless, insignificant, and with no influence drive a car that even the wealthiest families in Brooklyn Heights couldn't acquire?She had so many questions running through her mind, but none of them mattered now. All she felt was fear. Fear for the worst.The men who had been restraining her had released their grip after the crash, distracted and confused. She was

Derek turned to her casually. “That coward Julius Black is just a loud-mouthed fool who isn't coming. I don't think he's bold enough to. So for that… I'll cripple your family.”Serena's eyes flooded with tears. “You! Let them go! Right now!” she shouted desperately. “I was the one who sent people to the Brotherhood turf. Cripple my legs, but let them go!”Derek looked at her and licked his lips shamelessly. “How would we have a good time together if I crippled you today?”Serena gritted her teeth so hard they ached. She knew exactly what despicable thing he was talking about.Margaret and Rosalie began yelling hysterically. “We don't have anything to do with Julius!” Margaret screamed. “He's just trash! He's nothing to us!”“Please! Please, we don't know him!” Rosalie sobbed.Derek simply yawned and waved his hand dismissively. “Cripple them.”“No! Stop!” Serena screamed, her voice cracking. “Please! Just stop!”Her mother and sister were shouting too, their voices filled with despera

Margaret helped her daughter up from the floor, whispering bitterly through gritted teeth, "All that useless Langston has ever brought us and our Serena is misery."She raised her head and her blood ran cold.Derek was approaching Serena, who was still pinned down in the booth by his men. A wide, predatory smile stretched across his scarred face as he waved his hand lazily.His men immediately released their grip on Serena's mouth but kept her restrained in the booth. She was still struggling to get up, her body twisting against their hold.Derek folded his arms and looked down at her with suspicious eyes. "Don't you think you're a little too concerned about this Julius Black? He's supposed to be just an apprentice, right?"Serena glared up at him, her voice filled with anger. "You're making a mistake. Julius had nothing to do with the death of the Brotherhood Gang leader. And you're wasting your time—he's not coming."In her mind, she clung to that hope. She had managed to warn Juliu

Back at the Old Central Bar, Margaret was throwing a full-blown tantrum.“How dare Julius hang up on us?!” she hissed, pacing back and forth. “What if he tries to run away? That coward! If anything happens to Serena today, I’ll make sure that Surnamed Langston dies a painful death.”Rosalie, still holding her phone, shook her head quickly. “He wouldn’t dare.”She glanced to the side to make sure Derek, who was currently talking with his men in low voices, wasn’t watching. Then she redialed Elijah’s number.The call was picked up on the first ring.“Listen to me, you useless thing!” Margaret snatched the phone from Rosalie’s hand and spoke in a harsh whisper. “Surnamed Langston, don’t even think about running away. How dare you kill someone and put Serena in trouble? If you don’t come here today, I’ll hunt you down to the ends of the earth!”There was a brief pause.Then Elijah’s razor-sharp voice came through as though he hadn’t heard what Margaret had said. “Who has my wife?”This de

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Elorix Hotel, in a private conference room...Elijah Langston stood motionless before the floor-to-ceiling glass wall that stretched across the entire western face of the room.The view was breathtaking—the West District appeared below him like a glittering constellation of lights.But Elijah wasn't admiring the view.His reflection in the glass was cold; his eyes were dark and filled with murderous intent.His jaw was clenched so tightly that the muscles in his neck stood out.The phone in his hand slowly lowered to his side. He turned to face the room.Seated around the long mahogany conference table were twelve men and women dressed in immaculate business suits. Tablets and folders sat neatly in front of them.If an outsider had stumbled into the room, they would have been in complete shock.Because the people present weren't just anyone—they were titans of the pharmaceutical industry.Among many, there was Dr. Helena Elis, the renowned Chief Oper

“You!”Serena’s voice cracked as she stared at her sister in disbelief.She had always kept Rosalie close—shared almost everything with her, protected her from consequences, covered her mistakes. But when it came to Julius, she had been careful. She had kept that part of her life separate.And yet somehow Rosalie knew. She knew that Serena had Julius’s number. She knew what she had saved it as.No one was supposed to know about this.Derek’s smile widened slowly, his scarred face twisting with amusement. “Interesting,” he said, dragging out the word in a mocking tone. He turned to Serena, his eyes gleaming with dark humor. “Saving your apprentice’s name with ‘insolent’ attached… that’s a little—” He didn’t finish, instead letting out a knowing laugh. The entire situation was becoming more and more entertaining to him.Serena quickly spoke up, her voice desperate. “She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She’s guessing. Sh

William’s golden eyes narrowed at Marcus who had risen in the center of the crater, but the expression on his face remained indifferent.What other confirmation did he need that Marcus was immortal, just like Emperor Zhao in the ancient texts?As long as his soul was bound to the Forbidden Stone, nothing could completely tear him apart.“Then I shall destroy the stone with you.” William’s expression finally turned darker, and he took a step forward.Destroying the Forbidden Stone was as impossible as killing its holder. At least, the ancient texts say so.There was no holding back anymore, and every ounce of spiritual energy within his being would be put to use.He raised his right hand, and the air around him trembled.Golden lightning began to weave between his fingers, crackling violently as the pressure around him grew unbearable.The dragon tattoo on his back pulsed—the dragon coiling to life.“Heavenly Dragon’s Wrath! Break!”A golden dragon of pure energy erupted from behind h

Marcus was quickly enveloped by the dark mist, and his body steadied midway into the air.His ribs had been utterly broken by that attack just now, but he didn't feel anything.He gripped the stone tighter than before and glared at William from a distance."I underestimated you. Not anymore..." With the aid of the dark mist, he propelled forward, his face filled with intense determination.As he got closer, he stretched the Forbidden Stone and cursed aloud, "Die for me!"A mighty rushing darkness came straight at William, who was slowly descending from the cloud and still had his hand behind him.The sky trembled as the darkness surged forth, twisting the air into a violent storm.The Forbidden Stone pulsed like a beating heart, and with every pulse, the dark mist screamed, taking the form of countless wailing spirits clawing toward William Miller.William’s eyes remained calm but sharp and unwavering.“Ancestral Dragon Art—Ascension Roar!”He raised a single finger, and the air arou

The Dragon of the East—the lone cultivator who once terrorized the East with unmatched techniques and seared fear into the hearts of those who spoke his name.No sect or order could stop his rampage several years ago as he tore through branches and divisions just to achieve his goal in the country. He had vanished ever since, and all that was left was his name and those who sought vengeance against him.William didn't say a word, but he was surely surprised that Marcus would have recognized him. The name Marcus hadn't rung any bell in the East and had only come to his ears here in the West recently. There was no way this person knew him from home.Marcus looked out over the burnt expanse of grassland and inhaled deeply. He shut his eyes and said, "I recognized you by your technique just now. Only the Dragon of the East could possibly invoke a spirit dragon capable of wiping out a million men in a blink. There were always rumors of your presence in the West, but now I know it.""Yo

Tina and the other undercover maid servants wasted no time and took hold of Amelia.They had been scared a moment ago that the young master might scold them, but now his words were final.“You! Let go of me now!” Amelia yelled, but they didn't listen.These women were much stronger than she was and were able to move her carefully without hurting her.“William—do you want to die?! Tell them to let go of me!”Now that it had come to this, she called him by name, hoping he would turn around, but he didn't.Why were they even listening to him?Soldiers assisted, and Amelia was carefully tucked inside the van; the doors were shut tightly.As the vehicle drove away, Amelia looked through the window and felt a deep pain in her heart.She could see William waiting as the army of cultivators drew close.What is wrong with him? Had he listened to her mother's nonsense and now wanted to go after Marcus all by himself?Maybe they should have allowed her to die so she wouldn't have to find out th

"Make sure to get everyone to safety, far from here..." William spoke directly to Tina, and she raised her head to him.She hadn't expected him to give her further instructions instead of a punishment.Just then, several choppers began to appear above the forest, rappelling ropes being let down.Soldiers in heavy gear slid down in large numbers.An ambulance blared toward the manor, and following behind was an endless escort of high-grade military vehicles.This was a scene that could only be seen in a movie.Vera rushed to her confused daughter and embraced her tightly. "Oh my God, Amelia… don't do anything stupid again!"She still couldn't believe that Amelia had intentionally chewed on poison.Edward and Ava also drew closer to confirm that she had fully recovered.But through it all, Amelia had her eyes on William’s figure a short distance away.Why did he feel and look so different from the person she used to know?When the ambulance arrived, ten doctors came running out carrying

Is that him?" The Sinclairs weren't sure they were seeing properly because the man approaching looked completely different.The evening wind seemed to grow heavy as he moved, and breathing suddenly became suffocating.It was as though a mountain pressed down on them.Marcus's eyes widened in excitement and he grinned as if he'd discovered gold. "William Miller, I've wanted to see you for so long. Finally..."Did Amelia Sinclair take her life because of this useless man? He would surely teach him a lesson today and make him beg for mercy.William paid Marcus no heed and simply walked past him to Amelia's body, which lay cold on the ground.Huh?For the first time in a while, the smile on Marcus's face changed to a confused expression, and the strong mist around his fist instantly vanished.What was that pressure he had felt just now? The air around this ordinary-looking man was different in a way he couldn't explain. For the first time since he had held the forbidden stone, it vibrat
