“Mayor Fisher, what’s going on?” Raymond asked urgently.Franklin Fisher's face was tense with worry. “Quick! Save my daughter!”At his words, all eyes turned to the little girl in his arms.Raymond’s expression changed dramatically.The girl’s face was darkened, her breathing weak, and her exposed hands were already turning a bluish-purple.This was clearly a case of severe poisoning!The toxins had already spread, and her condition was critical.The others exchanged uneasy looks.“Looks like the mayor’s daughter is in deep trouble.”“Yeah… her breathing is faint, her face is discolored—this is bad.”Whispers rippled through the crowd.But none of them dared to make a move.With so many master physicians from the Medical Association in attendance, surely one of them would step up.Besides, judging by the girl’s condition, there was little they could do.Even Raymond’s heart skipped a beat.This level of poisoning—she was teetering on the edge of death.The odds of saving her were sli

He had never doubted Anthony’s words. If Anthony could spot an issue at a glance, he surely knew the root of the problem.Anthony replied calmly, “It’s missing something. And I’m the only one who knows what that something is.”In this world, how many true mystical practitioners were there?So far, Anthony hadn’t met a single one. But that didn’t mean they didn’t exist.His master had once told him that in Ardenia, two hidden sects—one in the north, one in the south—were true mystical clans. But those people rarely appeared in the mortal world.If the chance arose, Anthony wouldn’t mind testing his skills against them.Though honestly, he didn’t see them as a threat.Aaron Ellison scoffed. “Our Ellison family has its own dedicated alchemist. Aren’t you afraid of throwing your back out, talking like that, Vice President Jones?”Anthony replied with indifference, “Your alchemist ruined the formula.”Aaron’s eyes narrowed, suspicion flashing in his gaze.He sneered, “Vice President Jones,

It was clear that there was already deep enmity between them.Still shaken, Franklin Fisher shook his head. “I don’t know. The Northern King operates on a level far beyond mine. Learning his identity or whereabouts is almost impossible.”Hearing this, Anthony understood—he was telling the truth.No one could lie in front of him.And if Franklin Fisher had taken any part in the massacre of the Jones family back then, he would not have walked out alive today.So far, it appeared Franklin Fisher hadn't been involved.Anthony raised a brow as he looked at Franklin Fisher and said, “Mayor Fisher, I assume you’ve already figured out who I am, haven’t you? So, what are your thoughts now?”At those words, Franklin Fisher immediately responded, “Mr. Jones, all I know is that you saved my daughter. As for everything else—I know nothing!”He was a smart man—he wouldn’t have made it this far otherwise.Anthony stood up and said, “Alright, it’s time for me to go.”Franklin Fisher didn’t dare say a

So… he was worried about me?A flicker of delight bloomed in Melanie Oakley's heart.A man as powerful as Anthony—how could any woman not fall for him? To have someone like that to rely on… it would be a kind of happiness she'd never known.Anthony led Melanie Oakley away from the Osborne estate.By the time they returned to the Heavenly Dojo, she had half a mind to ask him to stay. But Anthony simply said, “Goodbye,” and walked off without another word.Cool and distant, just as always.Melanie bit her lip as she watched his retreating figure—yet a smile still tugged at the corners of her mouth.She refused to believe she wouldn’t be able to win him over…---Meanwhile, at the Wilson family estate in Aurelia City, chaos had erupted.Every member of the Wilson family had gathered in the great hall.At the center, a bloodied, disfigured corpse lay on the floor—a horrifying sight.An oppressive silence blanketed the room.“This… is this really my grandson?” the old patriarch of the Wils

The woman was stunned."This mission... it's doomed to fail..."Failure on this assassination would mark a permanent stain on her career. But at this point, all she wanted was to survive.Escape was all that mattered now.Without a second thought, she turned and sprinted down the slope of Crystal Haven.She didn’t dare look back—not even once.As a peak Mythical Tier assassin, her speed was blisteringly fast.Her objective was clear: find a crowd.In a public place, even martial powerhouses couldn’t act recklessly without consequences, right?Her figure blurred into a streak of light.But the next second—She came to a screeching halt, her feet skidding across the ground, kicking up smoke.Cold sweat dotted her forehead.She stared ahead, petrified.Anthony was already there.He had somehow appeared before her, blocking her escape.She thought she was fast—but his speed defied comprehension."Speak. Who are you?"Anthony’s voice was ice.The woman’s heart turned to stone.“I… I’m an a
