Rather than live in fear, it was better to act first.

Two great families had already perished for this jade.

The Osborne family couldn’t afford to be next.

As long as her grandfather didn’t find out, it would be fine.

Resolute, Scarlett took a deep breath and stood up.

“Mr. Jones, come with me.”

Anthony nodded and followed her to the backyard.

There, a stone table stood in the center.

Scarlett extended a finger and traced an intricate symbol across its surface.

A moment later—

Click!

A hidden mechanism activated, and a distant rumble echoed from a small house at the edge of the garden.

The two of them quickly entered the small house.

In the center of the floor, a hidden entrance opened silently, revealing a staircase leading downward.

Scarlett Osborne glanced at Anthony and said, “Mr. Jones, let’s go.”

“Alright,” Anthony replied with a nod.

She stepped into the passage first.

Though she had opened this entrance before, she had never dared to go down alone.

Now, with Anthony by her si

    Meanwhile, in Aurelia City.The Baldwin family estate sprawled across a thousand acres, a miniature world of its own, complete with pavilions, gardens, and halls of splendor.Today, the estate was festooned with lanterns and decorations. A grand banquet was underway.Old Mr. Baldwin—Liam Baldwin—was glowing with joy. Today was his 70th birthday.The elite of Aurelia City had all come to pay their respects. It was a most extravagant affair.Not long into the celebration, a young woman approached Old Mr. Baldwin.She wore a white dress that flowed like silk in the breeze, her figure tall and graceful.A Mediterranean flair marked her ensemble—the white gauze gown, blue ribbon sash, and golden-strap heels.She stood nearly 1.8 meters tall. Her golden-blonde hair was braided into a crown, and her dark eyes were striking beneath a delicate face. She looked like a goddess stepping out of myth.The moment she appeared, the banquet hall fell silent. All eyes were drawn to her, stunned by her

    His gaze was sharp as a blade, pinning old Mr. Wilson in place.Old Mr. Wilson’s mind was in chaos. He couldn’t think straight beneath that stare.“Arrogant!”A Mythical Tier expert let out a roar, forcing down his fear and charging at Anthony.But what had once been a devastating attack was now nothing before Anthony’s might.Anthony’s gaze turned cold.Boom!A soft, almost unimpressive sound echoed.The attacker vanished, turned to ash in an instant—like a sparrow struck by lightning, gone without even a scream.The others were horrified.This defied everything they understood about martial arts.Perhaps… not even the Northern King was this strong?Their confidence faltered.Old Mr. Wilson broke down completely. His body trembled uncontrollably, all his composure gone.“I… I don’t know…” he stammered.“You don’t know? Then die.”Anthony’s voice was like a death sentence.In a flash of light, he appeared before old Mr. Wilson.Before the man could even react—Boom!His head exploded

    Ten Mythical Tier experts, joining forces—an awe-inspiring sight.Rosalind and Jasper, watching from the sidelines, were utterly dumbfounded.That kind of attack… could it turn Anthony into dust?Jasper was especially shaken.If he had such strength, the heir position of the Wilson family would’ve been his long ago!“Kill that bastard!” old Mr. Wilson barked, eyes full of murderous intent.Anthony had slain his grandson—this was a blood feud that could never be forgiven!Their attacks were all lethal, their combined force enough to devour anything.Yet Anthony stood there, unmoving—as if frozen in place.Ten attacks came from all directions. Even if Anthony had wings, he had nowhere to escape.“Hah! Looks like he’s scared stiff,” someone sneered.They knew Anthony was strong, so their opening strike was their most ferocious—meant to kill him in one fell swoop.Then, a deafening explosion shook the heavens.Their powers converged on Anthony, erupting in flames.BOOM—!!A tremendous exp

    The voice startled him.He looked up—it was Rosalind Wilson.“Rosalind? You’re back?”Rosalind wasn’t a blood relative. She’d been adopted and later sent to study cultivation at Tianyan Sect.“I heard about what happened to Julian, so I came back.”Jasper smiled faintly. “It’s good you’re here. Stay a while. But don’t get involved in this.”“Hehe, alright, I know you’re stressed. Come on, let’s take a walk.”She took his arm playfully.They weren’t related by blood, but their bond was like that of real siblings.Jasper chuckled. “Alright, alright… let’s go.”They walked out of the Wilson estate together.Just then, a lone young man stood at the gate.The aura around him made Rosalind instantly alert.In that moment, she sensed a terrifying power radiating from him.“Brother… is he from the Wilson family?”Jasper frowned and looked over.The youth stood there alone, calm and unmoving.“Never seen him before. No idea who he is.”“So strange… he’s stronger than me,” Rosalind whispered.J

    Anthony’s cheeks flushed slightly.Her voice was low, but just loud enough for Lily Smith to hear.Lily’s face instantly turned icy, her anger surging.Scarlett Osborne was utterly shameless! She didn’t act like a lady from a prestigious family—more like a seductive vixen.Scarlett met Lily’s furious gaze with a taunting smile, showing no intention of backing off.Since it was a competition, she’d see it through to the end.By now, both women had completely ignored Anthony’s presence, treating him like a prize to be won.Surrounded by two stunning women, Anthony felt a bit overwhelmed.Still, Lily was his fiancée in name. He had to make his stance clear.Just as he was about to reject Scarlett, his phone suddenly rang.He glanced at the screen—it was Kiera Sanders.He quickly freed himself from the two women and stepped aside to answer.“Kiera Sanders…”“Mr. Jones, I’ve found something.”Her tone was low and serious.“What is it?” Anthony asked, suddenly tense.“The jade pendant you a
