Anthony nodded again. "There are three things I need you to do.""Yes, sir! Just say the word!" Kiera looked at him seriously."First," Anthony said, "find out who the Northern King and Southern King are. I want their identities, their movements, and where they operate."He’d been investigating them himself, but he believed Kiera’s networks might reach deeper.Kiera's expression turned serious, but she didn’t hesitate. She nodded.Anthony then pulled out the jade pendant his mother had given him and held it up."Second, study the design of this pendant. I want you to find out if there's another one like it in this world."He suspected it was linked to the Southern King.He knew Jasmine Kirk’s family owned one too, but he needed to know if there were more out there.He had studied this pendant for a long time, but it remained a mystery."The last task isn’t urgent," he added. "Investigate the truth behind the extermination of the Jones and Kirk families. I want the real culprit."Antho

"I won’t, Mom!" she quickly assured.Only then did her mother finally relax, her face softening with a loving smile. She knew her daughter well—kind-hearted and principled. She wouldn't do anything truly wrong.On the way home, her mother suddenly brought something up."Sweetheart, you’re not young anymore. It’s about time you found a boyfriend.""Huh?" Kiera was caught off guard. "Mom, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"Her mother chuckled. "I’m getting old. I just want to hold a grandchild soon. That young man who saved us—he seems like a good one! He saved my life. He’s our family’s benefactor. You’re single, you’re beautiful—I think you two could give it a try."Kiera’s face turned bright red, all the way to her ears.Anthony’s face flashed through her mind again.Her mother smiled more brightly. "Think about it, sweetheart."Kiera didn’t respond. But truthfully, she did want to get closer to Anthony.Not just because he had saved them—he was likely a Celestial Tier

Panic overwhelmed Ian Doyle. Facing these two monstrous figures, his courage shattered. "You… you just wait…" His hands trembling, Ian fumbled out his phone and dialed his father’s number. "Dad… Dad! Come save me! I’m going to die!" As soon as the call connected, Ian broke down into sobs. "What’s going on? What happened?" came an urgent voice from the other end. "Dad, no time to explain! Come now! I’m at Crystal Haven, Villa One!" "I’m busy right now! Who the hell would dare touch you?!" his father shouted furiously. "Dad, it’s Freya Mitchell… she recorded me! Her ex-husband is trying to kill me! You have to come now or I’m dead!!" The moment he heard that, Ian’s father exploded with rage. "Fuck! Who dares touch my son?! Don’t they know I’m the mayor’s secretary?! Tell him to wait. I’m coming right now!" The call ended. Ian looked smugly at Anthony, sneering: "My dad’s on his way. You’re fucking dead, punk!" He knew exactly how powerful his father was. In Silverhaven Ci

Fist after fist crashed down on Felix’s face, each blow more merciless than the last.Felix passed out from the pain, only to wake up again in agony.When he came to, he scrambled to his knees in front of Anthony, kowtowing desperately."Mr. Jones, I was wrong! I swear I was wrong! Please—spare me! Let me live!"He trembled violently, like a fat pig pinned to the butcher’s table.Anthony’s face remained cold and indifferent, saying nothing.Franklin, on the other hand, stood ramrod straight like a soldier awaiting orders."Mr. Jones, say the word—I'll deal with this piece of trash however you like!""Someone like him has no place in government," Anthony said flatly. "Do what you want. I never want to see him again."In truth, it wasn’t Felix who had truly provoked Anthony—it was Ian. The real culprit had already been punished. Killing Felix would’ve been meaningless.Franklin nodded furiously. "Yes, yes, absolutely! Everything will be done as you say, Mr. Jones."He then turned and ro

At that, Lily clenched her jaw, her eyes blazing.This woman was openly seducing her fiancé right in front of her.Sensing Lily’s displeasure, Anthony looked at Scarlett and replied coolly, “If you have something to say, say it here. I’m having dinner with my fiancée.”He could already tell—this woman was trouble.Scarlett blinked, then let out a coquettish laugh. “Hehe… Mr. Jones, you don’t mince words, do you?”“Then I’ll get straight to the point. I want your help upgrading our company’s product. If you’re willing, the Osborne family will meet any condition you name.”She was blunt, her intentions clear.Lily snapped, “Scarlett Osborne, how shameless can your family get?”But Scarlett ignored her, eyes locked on Anthony like a predator eyeing her prey.Lily knew she couldn’t compete with a woman like this.Scarlett had learned Anthony’s name from Aaron Ellison, along with the rumors about his alchemical prowess surpassing even the Ellison family’s legacy pills.She’d tracked Anth
