If it hadn’t been for these people egging him on, he wouldn’t have made such a ridiculous mistake.And now? He’d offended that person’s disciple.Someone even Miss Hill wouldn’t dare cross lightly.What the hell was he, compared to that?Robinson didn’t hesitate. She dropped to her knees on the spot.“I—I’m sorry. I failed to recognize your importance. Please forgive me!”She was completely submissive now, prostrating herself with utter obedience.Mr. Lloyd had already humbled himself—what was she, someone who had always been lowly even before him?She understood clearly: for someone like her to have questioned him—that was equal to suicide. The faster she apologized, the longer she might live.If she could rewind time, she wouldn’t have just said less—she wouldn’t have said a word.Anthony glanced indifferently at Oscar Lloyd, then turned his eyes to Ryan and Simon Hamilton.The moment their gaze met his, the two brothers collapsed to the ground in terror.In the next instant, Antho

Everyone turned to look at him.Old Patterson frowned slightly and turned to Anthony, a flicker of intrigue in his eyes. “Young man, what’s your insight?”As a cultivator himself, he understood the saying: don’t judge a book by its cover. This young man had been calm and composed since the moment he entered—quiet, steady, unafraid. These were not traits of an ordinary person.So James Patterson didn’t dismiss Anthony. In fact, he was curious.He wanted to see how this young man intended to resolve something even he couldn’t touch.Anthony said slowly, “This was once a neutral earth vein—neither good nor evil. But someone tampered with it, twisted its energy, and turned it into a deadly force.”Old Patterson’s face tightened. “You mean... this was man-made?”Anthony nodded. “Yes. But if we extract the corrupted vein, it will all be resolved.”James Patterson was stunned, his face full of disbelief.Extract it? Who could possibly do that?He certainly couldn’t.Without another word, A

The last disciple’s face was twisted with terror, so frightened he couldn’t even speak. Despite his broken limbs, he was still clinging to life—his vitality terrifyingly tenacious. “Please… I beg you… spare me…” The sole surviving Nine Shadows Sect disciple pleaded, tears and blood mingling in his eyes. Anthony’s expression was cold. “Give me one reason not to kill you.” The man quickly responded, “I can disappear! You’ve already killed the others—if I stay silent, no one will know. The Nine Shadows Sect won’t come after you!” “Oh?” Anthony smirked. “In that case, what difference does it make whether I kill you or not?” The disciple’s expression changed instantly, realizing the flaw in his logi

Audrey’s gaze turned even colder. “Who the hell are you?”The man showed no fear despite her revealing her identity as a police officer—something that genuinely surprised her. To barge in so brazenly and behave like this... these were obviously members of Aurelia’s criminal underworld.Audrey loathed such thugs with every fiber of her being. She knew words were useless against men like these. There was only one way to deal with them: force.After all, she wasn’t just a cop—she was a Transcendent Tier martial artist.“Miss Chambers,” Kyle Fisher suddenly stepped out from the shadows, his voice oily and smug. “I’d advise you not to resist. Mr. Donovan has powerful backers. Not just here in Aurelia—he’s got influence in Silverhaven too. If he wants to, taking you out is as easy as snapping a twig.”The three women froze at the sight of Kyle. Bonnie stared in disbelief, her mind blank. She hadn’t even noticed Kyle's presence earlier. Now, seeing him standing alongside these thugs, her

"Who?! Who hit me?!"Kyle stumbled from the blow, spinning around with a furious roar.But the moment he turned, a figure flashed toward him.The next second—"Boom!!"Without warning, Kyle Fisher was sent flying, his body crashing into the ceiling before slamming hard onto the floor.The deafening impact snapped everyone back to their senses."Holy shit! Who was that?!"Three Donovan turned his head and spotted a young man standing quietly behind them.Anthony stood there, expressionless, exuding an icy aura that chilled the air."Who the hell are you, punk?" Three Donovan barked, his face twisted with rage.He stepped toward Anthony, unleashing a terrifying pressure.The oppressive force made the surrounding crowd instinctively recoil, their hearts pounding with unease.Yet Anthony didn’t move an inch, his cold stare unwavering.Seeing this, Three Donovan’s expression darkened.This kid… wasn’t affected by his aura at all?That was impossible!On the ground, Kyle Fisher groaned in p
