The Maldonado Manor sprawled at the foot of a picturesque mountain in the east of Keklia Town. Its vast grounds were nestled by water and surrounded by natural beauty. In Keklia Town, the Maldonado family reigned supreme; almost nothing was beyond their reach.
Yet, the estate now lacked its usual bustling atmosphere. A heavy, oppressive aura hung over the entire grounds. In the plaza near its entrance, thousands of people stood in tight formation. Among them, nearly five hundred wore uniforms from the "Maldonado Martial Arts Club", each armed with cold weapons and displaying a tense, serious demeanor. Another hundred or so were clad in suits and sunglasses, their expressions cold and their waists bulging with concealed firearms. About three hundred others appeared more casual, many with tattoos and each wielding a machete. In addition, there were two more groups of about two hundred people each, all of them strong and imposing. These groups represented two other prominent families in Keklia Town, the Lambert family and the Chambers family. At the forefront sat two elderly men, Nicolas and Robert, the brothers of the Maldonado family. Both men wore grim expressions, their eyes occasionally flashing with cold fury. "Mr. Maldonado, who dares to cause trouble at your place?" asked the head of the Lambert family, with the head of the Chambers family glancing over as well. "This minor issue could have been handled if you had just informed me. There's no need for you to get involved!" the Lambert family head added. "Mr. Lambert, I appreciate your concern, but I'm afraid I don't know who our adversaries are. To be honest, that's exactly why I asked for your help—just in case something goes wrong," Nicolas replied with narrowed eyes. "Mr. Maldonado, you are being too modest. In Keklia Town, I can't imagine anyone who could make you worry," the patriarch of the Lambert family said with a smile. "Mr. Maldonado, didn't you invite Mr. Morley?" the patriarch of the Chambers family asked, surveying the plaza. "Of course, I did. I expect he's still on his way," Nicolas replied, his tone somber. "Sir!" At this moment, the butler hurried over to Nicolas. "Mr. Morley just called. He's unwell and won't make it today. He asks for your understanding," the butler reported. "Hmm?" A glint of displeasure flashed in Nicolas's eyes. After a moment's adjustment, he forced a faint smile. "If Mr. Morley is unwell, then he shouldn't trouble himself. You go visit him another day to offer my regards." "Understood!" The butler replied and stepped aside. The heads of the Lambert and Chambers families exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. 'So, the Morley family is openly disrespecting the Maldonado family? Such audacity—they really don't want to continue their business in Keklia Town anymore.' The patriarch of the Lambert family then asked, "I heard that Mr. Maldonado also invited the Nelson family from Eastoria, the top family there?" "That master is still on the way," Nicolas said nonchalantly. "Perhaps we won't even need him. We might easily deal with that insolent bastard ourselves." Boom! At that moment, the heavy wooden doors at the entrance of the Maldonado Manor exploded into splinters, sending wood chips flying everywhere. Two tall figures then appeared. Although neither gave off any noticeable aura, most people present felt an invisible pressure emanating from them. It was as if they were not just two individuals, but two divine beings capable of destroying the world with a thought. "Where's Laurel?" Junior's voice was cold and unyielding as he walked forward. "Brave of you!" Nicolas took a deep breath and said in a low, menacing tone, "You dare come to the Maldonado Manor and demand someone after injuring my son and daughter like that!" As he spoke, his eyes, sharp as daggers, locked onto Junior, his killing intent growing more intense. "I'll ask again: Where is Laurel?" Junior's voice was as cold as ice. "Who the hell do you think you are, coming here and making demands? Do you know where you are?" The patriarch of the Chambers family, eager to show off, addressed with a stern tone. "And you are?" Junior glanced at him dismissively. "I am the patriarch of the Chambers family in Keklia Town. Let me give you some advice—if you don't want to die, you should bow down and apologize to Mr. Maldonado. Maybe…" "You have one minute to decide!" Junior interrupted him. "If you and your people don't leave immediately, starting tomorrow, there will be no Chambers family in Keklia Town." "Huh?" The patriarch of the Chambers family was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter. "That's the funniest joke I've ever heard. You're quite the comedian!" "Forty-five seconds left!" The patriarch of Chambers family laughed loudly. "Kid, if I don't leave, what can you do about it?" "Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice!" Junior's voice was icy. "Remember what I said." "Are you two here for a comedy show?" At this point, the patriarch of the Lambert family spoke up. "And you are?" Junior asked again. "Lambert family!" The patriarch of Lambert family sneered coldly, "Do you also want to say I have a minute to decide whether to leave with my people, or else there will be no Lambert family in Keklia Town tomorrow?" "Sorry, now you only have thirty seconds!" Junior responded in a deep, stern voice. "Hahaha…" The Lambert family head laughed maniacally. "Time's up!" Junior spoke again. "Brat, are you here for a joke? Kill them!" A burly man behind the Lambert family head roared and charged at Junior, brandishing a machete. The eight men behind him also raised their machetes and followed, their expressions fierce and their intent deadly. Clang! Clang! Clang! Halfway through the charge, the machetes of the ten men made a crisp sound as they shattered. The front halves of the blades fell to the ground, wobbling and shining. The ten men stood frozen, their faces pale and sweat pouring down, unable to comprehend when the attack had happened. What is it?! "Hmm?" The patriarch of the Lambert family started to get a bad feeling. He had a sinking feeling he had just made one of the biggest mistakes of his life. The patriarch of the Chambers family also displayed a look of shock. 'Incredible!' "No wonder you dare to act recklessly at the Maldonado Manor—you actually have some skill. Come on, fight me!" Robert, Nicolas's brother, said as he stepped forward. He took a massive axe from a nearby man and walked steadily towards Junior. Swish! Robert's aura surged rapidly. His wrist continued to twist, and the whooshing sound of the axe cutting through the air created several cold streaks of light as it descended swiftly toward Junior with unstoppable force. Seeing this, all the members of the Maldonado family stared at Junior with expressions of disbelief. Everyone knew Robert was the number one martial artist in Keklia Town, unmatched by anyone! But in the next moment, everyone was petrified, their faces reflecting pure shock at what unfolded before them.Latest Chapter

"Huh?" Hearing Laurel's voice, Junior froze, his entire body trembling."Celeste, what's happening?" Nicolas asked sternly with a sense of foreboding."Dad, save me!" Celeste shouted into the phone, her voice filled with desperation. "He… he wants to kill me!""Give him the phone!" Nicolas ordered, exhaling sharply."O-okay…" Celeste nodded frantically, handing the phone to Junior. "Your… your daughter wants to talk to you…"Junior took a deep breath and accepted the phone, looking at the screen."If you harm Celeste, you'll never see your daughter again!" Nicolas threatened before turning the camera towards Laurel.Smack! Nicolas slapped Laurel hard, leaving a distinct handprint on her face."You little bastard, didn't you want to see your daddy? Say hi to him now!" Nicolas sneered.At that moment, an overwhelming, violent killing intent erupted from Junior, filling the entire room. His eyes glinted with a chilling coldness.Celeste, standing before him, collapsed to the ground with

"You...you have no idea what we Maldonados are capable of," Omar continued, taking a deep breath. "I promise you'll regret this. No one has ever dared challenge the Maldonado family like this in Keklia Town. Not just you two, but Rosemary and her entire family will suffer...""You really are an idiot," Timothy sighed, shaking his head. He couldn't help but recall battlefield scenes where the Commander, alone with his battle sword, left a trail of bodies, turning the place into a hellish landscape.Such power was far beyond what a small family like the Maldonados could withstand. Truly, ignorance was bliss.Just then, Junior's phone rang. Seeing Rosemary's name, his breath caught.Guilt from his earlier harsh words towards her surged through him. Taking a deep breath, he answered softly, "Rosemary.""Where are you? Any news about Laurel?" Rosemary's anxious voice came through the line."Rosemary, don't worry. Laurel is safe now," Junior reassured her."You found Laurel?" Rosemary's voi

After hanging up the phone with Nicolas, Junior pulled out his own phone and dialed Iris."Commander!" Iris answered after just one ring."Bring some people to clean up the club," Junior said sternly. "Also, meet me at the Maldonado Manor in three hours.""Uh?" Iris was momentarily stunned but quickly replied, "Understood!"After hanging up, Junior turned and headed for the door, with Timothy following behind, carrying the unconscious Omar.Meanwhile, outside the most upscale private hospital in Qiekery, a Mercedes-Benz was parked not far from the entrance.Inside the car were Nicolas, the Maldonado family's butler, two strong bodyguards and Laurel, who was lying unconscious in the back seat. Nicolas had just finished his call and sat in his seat, his face dark and menacing, his eyes like blades, and a murderous aura radiating from him.It had been almost thirty years since he had been this angry. In Keklia Town, someone dared to challenge him, Nicolas! It was outrageous. He had alrea

“Great. That little bastard should feel honored—her heart will be transplanted into Master Omar’s daughter,” someone nearby sneered.At those words, Omar’s spirits lifted. His daughter had been waiting nearly two months for this surgery. The Maldonado family had exhausted every option, and at last, there was progress.As for Laurel’s life, Omar couldn’t care less. To him, people were simply born into different stations. Allowing this low-life’s heart to save his daughter was, in his view, already a mercy."Congratulations, Master Omar!" two rich young men exclaimed simultaneously."Haha, thank you!" Omar laughed heartily. He raised his glass and drank it all in one go.Boom! At that moment, a gust of wind shattered the private room into splinters, sending wood fragments flying."Ah..." The girls screamed in unison."Damn, who dares cause trouble here? Are they tired of living?" The tall guy was startled. He got up and walked towards Junior and Timothy. "Where did you losers come from?

Bam! Bam! Bam! Tables, chairs, and benches around exploded; windows on the walls shattered into pieces, and the bar counter collapsed with a crash. Clark, like a cannonball, was thrown out, smashing through the wall behind him and crashing onto the cement floor outside."So strong." He managed to utter a few words before a large amount of blood spurted out, his body convulsing a few times before going limp.He never imagined that he, the underground king of Keklia Town, revered by thousands, would one day lose his life because of a little girl! If given another chance, he probably wouldn't have taken on that job from the Maldonado family! But life had no 'ifs'. Karma had its retribution, and everything had its consequences!Splurt! Junior, blood rushing to his heart, suffered even more. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura also weakening."Ah..." Junior fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, crying out into the sky with a heart-wrenching cry. 'In the end, was I too lat
