The room fell silent. The remaining guards were just as shocked as the old woman. Their faces turned pale. One guard stared at Connor in disbelief. “T-That’s impossible…” “Mister Victor lost?” Another guard shook his head repeatedly. “No…” “He was a C-rank martial artist…” “Nobody should have been able to beat him so easily.” Fear slowly appeared in their eyes. Connor ignored all of them, he didn’t care about any of them. His cold eyes swept across the room, then he spoke, his voice low and icy. “Where is Lily?” Nobody answered. Connor took another step forward. “The little girl you kidnapped. Where is she?” The old woman’s expression darkened. She was dressed in a luxurious dark-red silk gown embroidered with golden patterns. A jade bracelet hung from her wrist. Several expensive rings covered her fingers. Even at her age, she carried the pride and authority of someone who had ruled over others for decades. Her eyes narrowed coldly. Inwardly, she was no longer

Master Rowan stood quietly with his hands behind his back. His expression was calm as if everything was already decided. Then he finally spoke. His voice was steady and deep. “You fought well to reach this place.” He looked directly at Connor. “But this is where it ends.” Connor’s face did not change, his eyes remained cold.Connor’s face did not change. His eyes remained cold.He looked at Master Rowan from head to toe.The man was large and powerful-looking. His muscles were thick, and his presence was heavy.But Connor felt nothing.In his eyes, Master Rowan was no different from the C-rank martial artist he had defeated before.“Big body. Strong appearance. Different title, different reputation, but same result." Connor thought calmly.He may be stronger than Victor, but not by much.Master Rowan stood before him like a mountain.But Connor had already climbed higher mountains.To him, this fight was already decided.The only thing left was to finish it.And what was

The old woman’s eyes widened.For a moment, she thought she was seeing things.Master Rowan was on the ground.Defeated and by who? By Connor.Her mind went blank.“Impossible…” she whispered.Then reality hit her.She shot up from her chair so fast that it fell backward with a loud crash.BANG!The sound echoed through the room.Her face turned red with rage.“No! No! No!”She pointed at Connor with a shaking finger.“Master Rowan! Get up!”Her voice became sharp and hysterical.“Get up right now and kill him!”“Do you hear me?! Kill him!”“Turn him into dog food!”The old woman was furious.If someone had seen her, they would have thought steam was about to burst from her ears.Her chest rose and fell rapidly.Her hands trembled.She could not believe what she had just witnessed.All this time, she had looked down on Connor.She thought he was nothing.A nobody.Someone she could crush whenever she wanted.Yet the man she trusted most had been beaten.And beaten so easily.Her conf

Cold sweat covered his body. His hands trembled. His breathing became uneven. The King of the Gods… That ring belongs to the King of the Gods… Then that means… His thoughts froze. A horrifying possibility entered his mind. Connor is the King of the Gods? Or someone directly connected to him? “Dear heavens…" The fear in his heart exploded. Everything suddenly made sense. Connor’s strength. Connor’s confidence. Connor’s complete lack of concern. It all made sense now. Master Rowan felt like a fool. “A monster… I challenged a monster…" he thought now regretful. His master had once said that the King of the Gods stood above countless powerful warriors. A figure surrounded by legends. Someone whose enemies often disappeared without a trace. Someone whose name alone could shake entire organizations. And he had provoked such a person. His stomach twisted. What have I done? What have I done?! The old woman’s angry shouting faded into the b

Every second felt like an hour. Apologize? No. What if that angers him? Run? Impossible. Fight? The very thought almost made him laugh. Fight? Against someone who might be the King of the Gods? That would be suicide. Pure suicide. His thoughts spun in circles. Fear clouded his mind. The old woman was still yelling beside him. “Useless!” “Worthless!” “Get up!” “Do something!” Master Rowan wanted to bury his head underground. Then suddenly, an idea appeared. His eyes widened slightly. A strange idea. A desperate idea even. But perhaps the best one he had. “If I stay conscious, she will keep forcing me to speak. If I speak, I might say the wrong thing. If I reveal what I know, everyone here could panic. No… The safest choice is silence." A moment later, his eyes rolled back slightly. His body relaxed. Then he stopped moving completely. The old woman froze. “Huh?” She shook him again. No response. “Master Rowan?” Still nothing. His body lay motionless
36
The old woman glared at Connor.When she saw that Master Rowan was no longer moving, her face became even uglier.To her, it looked like he had completely passed out.Her last source of confidence was gone.Still, she refused to back down.She straightened her back and pointed at Connor.“You bastard!”“You think you’ve won?”“You think defeating one or two martial artists makes you invincible?”Her voice was loud, but there was a slight tremble in it.“The Winston family is not someone you can afford to offend!”“We are one of the most powerful families in the region!”“We have money!”“We have influence!”“We have connections everywhere!”“If you touch our family, your life will become a nightmare!”The guards listened silently.Even they could hear the fear hidden beneath her words.Connor simply looked at her.His eyes were cold.So cold that the old woman felt a chill run through her body.For a few seconds, nobody spoke.The room became silent.The old woman’s heart pounded hard
37
Just one word. The old woman’s face froze. Connor’s gaze remained cold. “I don’t want your money.” “No.” “I don’t want your influence.” “No.” “I don’t want your protection.” His eyes hardened. “And I certainly don’t want anything from the Winston family.” Every word struck her heart. The old woman felt panic rising. “What… what do you want then?” Connor answered immediately. “My daughter.” Nothing else. Just those two words. The old woman felt her throat become dry. All her bargaining chips had failed. Her threats had failed. Her offers had failed. E

Cold sweat appeared on the middle-aged doctor’s forehead. His outstretched hand slowly lowered. His legs suddenly felt weak. "What is happening? Why am I scared?" The other doctor felt the same. His heart began beating wildly. "This man… Why does he feel so dangerous?" The nurses also felt it. One unconsciously stepped backward. Another lowered her head. Nobody dared speak. Nobody dared move. The entire room fell silent. Connor stood in the center of it all. His face remained expressionless. His eyes remained cold. The pressure coming from him felt like a mountain pressing down on everyone present. The elderly doctor adjusting his glasses swallowed nervously. His hands trembled slightly. He had met many

Lily was safe, that was all that mattered and nothing else was important.Not the guards, not the Master Rowan, not the doctors, not even the Winston family.Connor adjusted Lily gently in his arms, her small body rested against his chest. She looked peaceful.She was completely unaware of everything that had happened.Connor turned and began walking toward the exit.Step.Step.Step.The room remained silent, nobody dared speak or stop him.The doctors and the nurses moved aside.Even the guards outside lowered their heads.Connor walked past them all. Then suddenly, he stopped, his footsteps came to a halt.The sound echoed softly through the hallway, everyone’s hearts tightened.The old woman froze, a bad feeling appeared in her chest.Slowly, Connor turned his head, his cold eyes landed on her.The old woman’s face instantly turned pale, she felt as though a terrifying beast had fixed its gaze upon her.Her body became stiff even breathing became difficult.Connor looked at her fo

Meanwhile, Connor had already left the Winston family’s private hospital. Lily remained asleep in his arms, the little girl’s breathing was steady. Every few seconds, Connor would lower his eyes to look at her. Only after confirming she was still breathing normally would the coldness in his eyes lessen slightly. The car sped through the city. Nobody dared speak inside, the atmosphere was very heavy. Half an hour later, the vehicle arrived at River City General Hospital. The car door opened, Connor stepped out carrying Lily. He carried Lily through the hospital entrance without slowing down once. The automatic doors slid open. Doctors, nurses, patients, and family members filled the lobby. Yet the moment they saw him, people instinctively stepped aside. Not because they knew who he was, but because of the expression on his face. The expression on Connor’s face was terrifying, his face showed almost no emotion. Yet everyone could feel the pressure surrounding him. A grou
