"Isn't that Hazel? What's she doing here?" Everyone looked at Hazel in surprise. In their impression, Hazel was always cold and aloof, rarely appearing in such mixed crowds. She had a fresh, otherworldly beauty, like a lotus flower unstained by mud. If not for catching Alden's eye, with her exceptional looks and temperament, she might have long been reduced to a plaything for some powerful figure.Hazel casually found a seat, ordered a glass of red wine, and took a delicate sip. Her movements were elegant and composed, as if the strange looks from those around her had nothing to do with her. The wine passing over her red lips added an extra touch of allure.Cyrus sat down right next to Hazel, even wrapping his arm around her slender waist. His bold and abrupt action instantly drew even more attention.'Is he crazy?' Logan thought, his eyes wide. In his mind, Hazel was Alden's fiancée, and Alden was backed by the Parker family of the Celestials. No one would dar

"Let me go! You're digging your own grave!" Quinton squeezed out the words with difficulty. His breathing was becoming increasingly labored, and his face had turned bright red from lack of oxygen. His legs flailed helplessly, and his hands clawed futilely at Cyrus's arms. Terror and fury filled his eyes."Today, I'll make it known that the Celestials are not untouchable." A flicker of resolve flashed in Cyrus's eyes. Without hesitation, he delivered a punch to Quinton's face. This punch carried all the anger he had accumulated over the Celestials' misdeeds, as well as his unwavering determination to avenge the Parker family and break the Celestials' oppressive rule. The punch sliced through the air with a sharp whistle, tearing through the atmosphere.Quinton flew backward and landed heavily. Blood instantly oozed from the corner of his mouth, and a few teeth, mixed with blood, were spat out. His once-handsome face was now swollen and deformed, his cheeks puffed up, and da

"Please." Maximilian courteously opened the car door, his face adorned with a respectful smile. His actions left everyone present momentarily stunned, especially Hazel. Maximilian, as the director of the Obsidian Shield, held a position of great authority, while Cyrus was merely Lord Hades's disciple. Maximilian's deference toward Cyrus was beyond anything she could have imagined.Hazel was filled with confusion and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. She couldn't comprehend what kind of charm Cyrus possessed to warrant such treatment from Maximilian.Cyrus, however, didn't seem to pay much attention to Maximilian's actions. He entered the car naturally and, in the process, pulled Hazel in as well. Hazel struggled slightly but ultimately allowed Cyrus to pull her into the car."Have you forgotten what you promised me?" Cyrus leaned down slightly, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he lifted Hazel's chin. His eyes carried a hint of teasing, as if he w

"Cyrus is your biological son. Can you really bring yourself to kill him?" Janet narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully observing every subtle change in Tyler's expression. She was trying to uncover his true thoughts beneath his cold and stern demeanor. She knew Tyler too well. He had always been ruthless when it came to the interests of the Parker family. But Cyrus was his flesh and blood, and she wasn't sure if Tyler could truly be so heartless in this matter."Alden is my only son," Tyler replied with unusual decisiveness, his voice firm and resolute. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and there wasn't the slightest hint of hesitation on his face. It was as if any bond between him and Cyrus had long ceased to exist.Hearing this, Janet secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Tyler might hesitate out of consideration for their relationship. After all, Cyrus's current power and the forces backing him were not to be underestimated. If Tyler'

Adrian lifted his head, a trace of exhaustion and helplessness flashing in his eyes. "I don't know. Cyrus has provoked the Parker family, and now he's dragged Hazel into this. I'm afraid we're facing a disaster."Another elder frowned and said, "How about we take the initiative to apologize to the Parker family and hand over Hazel? Maybe that could calm their anger.""It's too late to say anything now. Hazel is staying at the Lord Hades Estate, and we can't even get in." Adrian sighed, resigned to the situation.Meanwhile, at the Lord Hades Estate, Hazel hung up the phone, her heart a mix of emotions.Cyrus looked at her and pulled her into his arms. "Hazel, don't be upset. I won't let anything happen to you or the Deleon family. If the Parker family wants to come after me, I'll make sure they know I'm not someone to mess with."Hazel looked up at Cyrus, her eyes glistening with tears. "Cyrus, I believe in you. But I'm still worried about my dad and the Dele
