Undergoing dialysis every three days meant that the kidney disease had reached a critical stage, and kidney function was almost completely gone. Each dialysis session cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, a sum unbearable for an ordinary family.

“Who is he to you?” Arion asked, realizing that Merry hadn’t yet mentioned the person’s identity.

After a brief silence, Merry finally replied, “Arion… he’s my boyfriend.”

Boyfriend! Arion was taken aback, glancing at Merry as if he had just realized something profound.

Tears began to blur Merry’s vision. After a pause, she continued softly, “Arion, please… when you meet him, don’t mention my work. Just say I’m an office employee. I…”

“Merry, calm down. I understand, and I’ll treat your boyfriend free of charge.”

In that moment, Arion saw Merry as a woman of deep loyalty and virtue. He realized he had no right to look down on her feelings.

Upon hearing Arion’s words, Merry couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. They were tears of relief and

    “What did they go through before dying?” Sandra wondered silently.There was no time to dwell. She quickly ordered her team to secure the scene, then approached Nadine with concern. “Nadine, are you all right?”Nadine shook her head faintly, regret shadowing her eyes.Sandra, usually cool and composed, softened her tone, perhaps because of her friendship with Nadine. She even turned to Olafia kindly. “Don’t worry. We’ll keep you both safe,” she assured.“Thank you… I’m all right,” Olafia replied, her voice steadier now though still trembling.“Olafia, your house is a disaster, it’s not safe to stay here. The station has a staff residence. I can arrange two rooms for you,” Sandra offered thoughtfully.Nadine shook her head gently. “Sandra, you have work to do here. Don’t worry about us. I’ll take Olafia to Clarissa’s place.”“All right,” Sandra agreed, signaling two officers. “I’ll have my men escort you.”But before they could move, Arion interjected, “That won’t be necessary. I’ll ta

    Being a hired killer was like living on the edge of danger, gambling one’s life with every mission. Their senses were far sharper than those of ordinary people. And in this brief but brutal clash, the assassin knew without a doubt, he was no match for Arion.After unleashing three successive strikes, he made a split-second decision to flee without hesitation.“Trying to run now? Too late!” Arion’s cold voice echoed through the air, freezing the assassin mid-step.But Arion himself had reached his limit. Chasing with physical strength alone was impossible. So, he called for his ally. “Nara, it’s your turn now.”“Leave it to me, Master,” Nara’s calm voice replied.In an instant, Arion felt a sharp chill sweep past his forehead, Nara had emerged from the Demon-Sealing Sword.A silver light flashed through the darkness, followed by a cold voice: “Stop!”Nara appeared in midair, her arms spread wide, blocking the assassin’s escape route. She descended gracefully, like a celestial goddess s

    “You were sent by Matius Winzy, weren’t you?” His voice cut through the air like a blade.“Tch, do you really think you can make us talk?” one of the assassins sneered. Their contemptuous eyes gleamed in the dim light.Arion’s lips curved into a faint smile. “You’ll find out soon enough.” His gaze drifted toward their wounds.Realization flashed too late in their eyes.“You think a few scratches will stop us? Foolish boy!” one of them barked. But even as he spoke, his voice trembled.Because suddenly, they couldn’t move. Their limbs stiffened, energy draining out of them as if being sucked away from within.“What… what have you done to us?” one of them gasped, his voice shaking with disbelief.Arion’s smirk widened, his tone laced with ice. “Even now, you still have time to talk?”Their confidence collapsed into raw terror. Their bodies weakened rapidly, collapsing like puppets with cut strings.“If you want this to end quickly,” Arion said coldly, “tell me what I want to know.”Panic

    The room they were in had absolutely no blind spots. The sword technique was incredible, but their opponent was Arion.Without hesitation, Arion shielded the two women behind him. His hand shot out to grab a nearby chair, and with a quick motion, he channeled his Palm Energy Technique. Anyone witnessing the scene would have been stunned, Arion moved as though he had become the Thousand-Armed Avalokiteśvara itself. The shadow of the chair multiplied around him, forming layers of phantom defenses that intercepted each flying blade.Within seconds, every knife was stopped with perfect precision. When the shimmering chair-shadows finally faded, the real chair in Arion’s grasp was revealed, twenty knives were buried neatly into its surface, lined up as though nailed by invisible hands. None had pierced through.“Four of them,” Arion muttered, eyes narrowing as he sensed the number of attackers.These weren’t ordinary assassins like the ones Paul had mentioned. Old man Matius Winzy had clea

    Arion returned to his room, but tonight, he felt an unusual unease in the air, as if something out of the ordinary was about to happen. So, he decided not to enter the Demon Sealing Sword for his usual training.His inner sight, capable of perceiving everything around him, instinctively scanned the rooms of the two women. His brows furrowed. Olafia was still deeply engrossed in studying the two books he had given her, while Nadine was curled up, clutching her stomach with both hands, her face contorted in pain.“Hmm? Is Nadine not feeling well?”After examining more closely, Arion sighed in mild relief. It turned out Nadine’s pain was simply due to menstruation.Seeing her discomfort, Arion took wide, hurried strides toward Nadine’s room, so fast he completely forgot to knock.“Damn it!”Before he could say anything, Nadine’s hand flew across his cheek with a sharp slap! Caught off guard, Arion froze, yet the moment he saw Nadine’s face, his irritation vanished.At that moment, Nadine

    Startled, Arion almost hit Nara. What was this? Such a useless method!"Master, why are you always like this? You’re making me anxious!" Nara said, crossing her arms over her waist, glaring sharply at him."Forget it, Nara. I don’t want to do that."Even though that method could give him more power, Arion refused to become a despicable, immoral man.The next morning, when the sun was already high in the sky, surprisingly, no one came to wake him up.When Arion emerged from the Demon-Sealing Sword, he was immediately hit by a wave of stifling heat.He lifted his head to see a gloomy, overcast sky pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe after spending the whole night in another realm.Standing by the window, Arion’s thoughts echoed with a single phrase: “When dark clouds gather and the wind begins to howl.” Was something bad about to happen? He muttered the words silently.When Arion stepped out of his room, he saw Olafia busy organizing her bookstore. Olafia owned a vast collec
