Albert said apologetically, I’m sorry for making you worry. I received an urgent plea for help from an old friend earlier. Time was pressing, and I had no chance to wait for you, so I went ahead alone.Euphemia nodded slightly. It is enough that you are unharmed.Though she spoke as if it were no matter, Ulysses opposite her wore an extremely gloomy expression. He snapped angrily, Euphemia, have you lost your mind?! Did you truly intend to kill me?!Ulysses held up his palm. Its center was pitch black, the flesh seemingly eroded by toxic miasma. He circulated his soul power to dispel the poison trying to invade his body.He was filled with shock and fury. During his brief clash with Euphemia earlier, he had been completely outmatched. Euphemia’s strength as a Nine‑Star Celestial Star Realm expert was overwhelming enough to stir dread in the heart.Euphemia glanced at him and said indifferently, Yet you are still alive, are you not?Ulysses retorted angrily, Albert chose to leave on hi

Albert waved his hand and said, There’s no need. I don’t possess an ice‑attuned soul, so this frost energy would be of little use to me. Between you and me, there’s no need for such formalities.I insist!Kelly shook her head stubbornly.Without another word, she took out a casket seemingly forged from cold iron, its surface sealed with glowing runic patterns. She tossed the casket into the air and wove a series of hand seals. Immediately, wisp after wisp of Heavenly Lotus Frost rose from the Ice Divine Lotus and flowed into the casket.As more and more Heavenly Lotus Frost gathered, a thumb‑sized lotus‑shaped ice crystal took shape inside the container. Terrifying frigid energy burst forth at once, turning the surrounding air into frost in an instant.Kelly quickly closed the casket and activated its sealing runes. Once the icy aura settled, she held it out to Albert.You have to take it, she said earnestly.Seeing how determined she was, Albert felt helpless. He glanced at the cold

Sister Jin fell momentarily speechless. When Kelly had given Albert a Nine Cloud Star Pill before, she had told Sister Jin the pill would surely prove worth every bit of its value. Back then, Sister Jin had thought her young lady was merely putting on a brave face to save pride. But now, she had no choice but to admit that Kelly truly had an exceptional eye for people—or rather, that she believed in Albert wholeheartedly.Yet Kelly had always been as calm and reserved as ice. Such heartfelt words were quite out of character for her. Could it be… she was speaking up for Albert?My lady’s insight is as sharp as a torch. It was I who was shallow, failing to recognize Chieftain Albert’s true strength. A faint smile tugged at Sister Jin’s lips, and she said slowly, When we return to Golden Dragon Mountain, I shall report to the Clan Lord how deep the bond is between you and Chieftain Albert, and how we owe our safety entirely to his help this time.Kelly said in a tone of mild reproach, Si

Energy converged and coalesced into an arrow of scarlet radiance. The arrow writhed wildly like a ferocious beast straining to break free from its reins, as wave after wave of terrifying energy pressure rippled outward.Finn, locked onto by this arrow, suffered an abrupt drastic change in his expression.He had no time to ponder how Albert could unleash such a terrifying shot. The moment the arrow fixed its aim on him, a sharp stinging pain spread across every inch of his skin.This single arrow spelled mortal peril for him.Thus, almost the instant Albert drew the bowstring taut, Finn’s figure shot backward in a frantic retreat. In mere breaths, he fled over a thousand meters away.At the same time, he let out a low growl and rapidly wove mystical hand seals.The ground rumbled and shook, as earthen walls hundreds of meters tall rose one after another like towering city ramparts, forming a defensive barrier before him.Finn clearly intended to evade the brunt of the attack. It was pl

At that moment, Sister Jin let out a cold shout. Her soul power erupted forth, and a streak of golden light flew out from her sleeve. Within the radiance lingered a sword phantom exuding piercing icy chill. The sword phantom whistled through the air, splitting into countless blade beams that slashed straight toward Finn.With Sister Jin making her move, the elite guards who had accompanied Kelly also unleashed their soul power one after another, charging to engage Finn’s followers.You are no match for me. Why continue this futile fight? Finn sneered. He thrust out a palm, and the brown earthen mountain condensed in the void behind him rumbled to life. Boulders hundreds of meters tall tumbled down its slopes, growing ever more ferocious like falling meteorites, shattering every incoming sword beam to fragments.Finn then clenched his fingers into a fist and punched violently forward.A giant brown earth fist a hundred meters wide descended from the sky. Deafening sonic booms rang out,

Just then, Isabel beside Albert nudged him with her elbow and teased mischievously:You always used to say you had a fiancée back in Newhurst. Could it be this young lady? She’s so outstanding—no wonder you never took a fancy to the young ladies Second Sister tried introducing to you.Albert grew instantly awkward at her words. He was about to explain when Kelly smiled softly and shook her head gently.You’ve guessed wrong, sister. I am not his fiancée. His intended is a woman of peerless grace and talent—far beyond anything I could ever hope to match.Isabel froze for a moment, looking embarrassed. She quickly tried to smooth things over.You’re far too modest toward this fellow. You shine like a radiant pearl already. How could anyone be that much better than you? Even if such a woman existed, he wouldn’t be worthy of her anyway.She simply took Kelly’s words as polite humility. After all, in both looks and bearing, Kelly was undeniably top-tier. A woman like her was always the cent

Davidson curled his lip, sized Nancy up and down, and said with undisguised contempt, Sister-in-law, of course I know you’re married to my eldest brother. But have you ever fulfilled the duties a wife ought to?Omba struggled to his feet and rebuked him sharply, Davidson, how dare you speak to your sister-in-law like that?Davidson let out a cold laugh. Eldest brother, don’t forget she’s always been an outsider in the Austin family. What’s more, as the wife of the Austin family’s eldest son, she failed to give the family a eldest grandson. When our parents passed away, they didn’t even have a grandson to send them off. She’s nothing short of a sinner to the Austin clan!At these words, Nancy’s face turned ghastly pale, filled with grievance and hurt.Beside her, Omba trembled all over with rage. He grabbed a bone china bowl and smashed it hard onto the floor. The bowl shattered into pieces right at Davidson’s feet.He then roared angrily, Davidson! Don’t make trouble out of this! Your

Juliet sat motionless beside them, her eyes red-rimmed as tears streamed down her cheeks nonstop.At this moment, she was no longer the superstar adored by fans across the country and around the world. She was just a poor, helpless young girl, and Alan couldn’t help but feel a surge of pity for her.Just then, Omba coughed a few times, feeling unwell. After steadying himself, he said earnestly, Alan, you wandered alone in Plus City for more than a decade. Now it’s time for you to come home.He sighed with heartfelt emotion, The Austin Family cannot make you rise to power overnight, but with our family standing behind you, you’ll have solid footing if you ever choose to return to the Smith Family. If you aim to fight for the Smith Family’s inheritance, having the Austin Family backing you will greatly boost your chances of success.Alan felt extremely uneasy and embarrassed after hearing his words.He had never expected that even after he had left the Smith Family and already gotten ma

Huh?The husband and wife were both stunned speechless the moment they heard this.Alan looked equally awkward and said earnestly, I’m so sorry, Uncle Omba, Aunt Nancy. I’ve let Juliet down, and I’ve failed the engagement arrangement made between your family and my parents all those years ago.Omba sighed, patted Alan on the shoulder, and said solemnly, Alan, I don’t know everything you’ve been through these years, but I can tell you’ve had an extremely tough time. You were only eight when you were forced to wander alone in the world. You must have had no say in many things. Let’s put the engagement aside for now. Tell me in detail how you survived all these years.That’s right, Nancy chimed in with a nod. We can take our time to talk about the engagement later. Let’s sit down and have lunch first, chat while we eat.Omba took Alan by the hand and seated him beside his own chair.As soon as they sat down, he warmly urged Alan, Alan, let’s eat first. See if the food here suits your tas

Among the scarce standalone villas located in the city proper, Oceanfront Mansion ranks as one of the most exclusive high-end villa compounds.Every villa here is priced at no less than two hundred million US dollars, grand and extravagantly furnished.Even so, it still cannot hold a candle to the Smith Family’s mansion.In Alan’s memory, the Smith Family residence was not a luxury villa built by real estate developers, but the former royal mansion of a Qing Dynasty prince.It embodied true understated luxury and magnificent grandeur. Alan recalled that the dozens of golden nanmu pillars alone inside the mansion were priceless treasures.It was said that as early as more than a decade ago, a single such pillar was already valued at over a hundred million on the market.Juliet drove the car back home. The courtyard gate and the garage door slid open automatically.A maid in her forties hurried into the garage, opened the car door for her, and asked respectfully, Miss, Madam has finishe

Luckily, he had run into Juliet again at just the right time. If their reunion had waited until after Omba passed away from his severe illness, there would have been nothing he could do to save him.He then comforted her gently, Don’t worry too much about this. I’ll sort everything out for you once I arrive.Juliet said in a choked voice, Thank you, Brother Alan. Just having you come to see Dad will make him so happy!Not wanting to talk too much and risk Caroline beside him catching any important details from the conversation, Alan said, I’ll let you go for now. The plane is about to take off, and we need to turn off our phones.Juliet replied quickly, Alright, Brother Alan. I’ll wait for you in Neon City!After Alan hung up the call, Caroline beside him couldn’t help but smile and tease, You’re really something now, Alan. No wonder everyone calls you Master Alan. From the way you were talking just now, it sounds like someone’s waiting for you to rush over and save the day!Alan gave

Avi nodded with an ingratiating smile and said, Then make sure you stay safe on the way!Watching Alan walk out the door, she quickly called out after him, Dear son-in-law, if you come across anything nice in Neon City, bring me a little gift back by the way!Mm, alright.Alan gave a perfunctory reply and stepped out of the house.Plus City AirportAlan had no luggage with him, so he went straight to get his boarding pass and passed through security.Since Claude had booked him a first-class ticket, he headed directly to the VIP lounge after clearing security.The flight was scheduled to take off at 10 a.m. At nine twenty, a lounge staff member personally escorted him to board the plane ahead of time.Alan was the first to get on board. Several passengers were already seated in the first-class cabin.The first-class cabin of this aircraft adopted a 2+2 seating layout — two spacious seats on each side of the aisle. The seats could be fully reclined into a flat bed, allowing passengers
