Immediately, Anthony's expression changed!

Among those present, Isaiah Harris's face also changed.

"Oh dear... Preston, how could you smash the gift Anthony brought for me?" Old Mr. Mitchell's eyes were filled with distress.

"Grandpa... it was just a fake. No harm done. Didn't Mr. Harris already give you a genuine set?" Preston Mitchell remarked disdainfully.

Isaiah Harris chimed in with a smile, "Old Mr. Mitchell, someone of your stature shouldn't use counterfeit items. My authentic tea set is much more fitting!"

"Exactly, Dad... look how beautiful the color of Isaiah's tea set is!" Kimberly Lane added with a smile.

Anthony felt a pang of regret. What a group of ignorant people! A tea set worth $50 million, shattered just like that.

He looked at Preston Mitchell and sighed, "I warned you, but you wouldn't listen. My tea set was the genuine article, don't you understand?"

"Anthony, stop making us sick!"

Kimberly Lane snapped, "If that broken tea set of yours is real, I'll compensate y

    “Call the Northern King. I’ll let you die a little less painfully,” Anthony said coldly, eyes fixed on him.“Never…”Even under such pressure, Asura refused to yield.He was one of the Northern King’s men—his loyalty absolute.Yes, Anthony was terrifyingly strong—so strong it defied reason—but that didn’t change Asura’s resolve.Anthony didn’t seem at all bothered by the refusal. He simply ignored it and asked another question:“Why was he in that strange place?”Asura was terrified of Anthony, but he refused to reveal anything about the Northern King.Even if he truly didn’t know.“I don’t know. Don’t ask me. Just… kill me.”Asura’s eyes held a rare flicker of defiance.Still, Anthony didn’t respond. Instead, he asked a third question:“I’m a son of the Jones family. Was it the Northern King who destroyed us?”Asura’s expression changed the moment he heard that.He hesitated—then nodded.“Yes. The Jones family was annihilated by the Northern King.”“For the jade pendant, right?”Asur

    For a brief instant, Audrey felt like nothing more than an ant standing before an elephant. And that elephant… was Anthony.She was left with nothing but awe.This man—who was even younger than her—was leagues stronger than anyone she had ever known.Meanwhile, Finn Smith and Three Donovan stood frozen, their expressions stiff and lifeless, their hearts sinking into despair.This… this was not the outcome they had anticipated.Now, their last shred of hope rested on Wuming.If Wuming could defeat Anthony, they still had a chance.He was their final hope.And truthfully, everyone present felt the same.At that moment—High above the arena, a murderous air swirled, tightly coiling around Anthony, waiting to strike.Wuming was circling, watching for any possible opening.But Anthony stood there, completely motionless, unbothered, not a trace of concern on his face.Seeing the man flit around like a pesky fly, Anthony sighed. “If you don’t strike soon, I will.”Still, Wuming kept probing

    Just as everyone assumed Anthony had been consumed—A blinding golden light suddenly exploded from his body, terrifying and unstoppable.A roaring shockwave surged through the air like a jetliner smashing into the earth.No one could even react.Asura, who stood directly before Anthony, was violently thrown backward by the blast before he could fully register what was happening.In a flash—A massive portion of the crowd collapsed under the crushing pressure alone.Asura crashed hard onto the ground, his expression twisted in pain, struggling to stand.“This kid... that power is brutal!”For the first time, Divine Punishment’s face tightened with unease.The entire arena was suffocating under the oppressive aura. Everyone stared, eyes wide with disbelief.Anthony looked down at Asura, his voice calm. “I told you. You’re not worth it.”Divine Punishment and the third warlord instantly flew to Asura’s side.“Asura, you’re not his match…” Divine Punishment’s brows furrowed deeply.So h

    Anthony's words instantly set off a storm of chaos across the entire arena.At that moment, the three subordinates of the Northern King wore expressions darker than the abyss.They had never imagined that someone would dare to lay a finger on the Northern King.Tearing him limb from limb wouldn’t be enough to atone for such a brazen sin.“You little bastard, we’ll grind your bones to dust!” The leading subordinate roared with fury.After all, the three of them were Divine Tier warriors—formidable beyond imagination. In all of Ardenia, only the King himself could match them.Anthony responded calmly, “So this is the so-called Divine Tier strength?”The crowd erupted.“What!? Divine Tier!?” “My God, I thought they were Celestial Tier! This is unbelievable!”All eyes turned to the three warlords, now filled with dread and awe.The lead warrior sneered. “Yes, boy, we are Divine Tier. Are you afraid now? Hand over the item and we’ll leave your corpse intact.”Anthony shook his head. “Y

    Anthony didn’t bother hiding the truth—he nodded and admitted it outright.Seeing this, Audrey Chambers and the others could no longer stay calm.What kind of man was this?To them, the Northern King was a near-mythical figure. Yet Anthony had openly provoked him and even killed his men, all without a hint of hesitation.And this had all happened in just one day.Anthony said into the phone, “That’s all. If anything comes up, contact me.”He was about to hang up when—“Wait!” Scarlett Osborne called out urgently.Then, with a teasing tone, she asked, “Mr. Jones, are you really not going to consider the two-of-us-sisters deal? It might give you a whole new kind of experience.”Hearing this, Maya Norris’s face darkened.She muttered under her breath, “What a pair of shameless sisters.”Anthony, without another word, hung up.He couldn’t keep this conversation going—if it went on any longer, something was definitely going to happen.Sisters, huh? He had never tried that before...The ver

    Seeing Hazel like this, Anthony frowned and asked, “Does your sister know what you're doing? Did she agree to let you trade your own happiness for my protection of the Osborne family?”Hazel shook her head. “She doesn't know. But I want to share the burden with her. Ever since Grandfather became unable to manage the family, everything has fallen on her shoulders. I don’t want her to carry it all alone.”Before Anthony could respond, Maya Norris cut in with a sneer, “Hazel, what’s this supposed to be? Are you trying to cheat on your boyfriend?”Three Donovan, standing nearby, turned deathly pale.He was terrified—terrified that Anthony might actually take an interest in Hazel, and if that happened, he could be killed on a whim.The worst part? He wasn’t even Hazel’s boyfriend.He had only been pursuing her, and while she hadn’t accepted him, she hadn’t outright rejected him either. He had fooled himself into thinking she was just testing his sincerity.But now, it was clear—Hazel had n
