The security guards roared in unison and immediately began attacking the group without hesitation.

After all, the welfare home staff were just ordinary people—no match for the trained guards.

Within moments, the staff were beaten black and blue, groaning and crying in pain.

Seeing this, Director Osborne couldn’t hold back his tears.

Today was nothing short of a disaster for them.

“Children, quickly! Go hide in the cafeteria!”

Director Osborne urged the children inside and locked the doors behind them.

Meanwhile, Nicholas O’Connor’s men stormed into the dormitories and began a frenzied search.

Director Osborne’s heart sank in despair.

It seemed that the check couldn’t be saved today.

But as long as the children were safe, that was all that mattered.

Soon, the staff of the welfare home were all lying on the ground, unable to get up from the beatings.

Not long after—

“Boss, we found it…”

“Over here!! Fuck, a hundred million!!”

A voice shouted excitedly from Osborne’s office.

    “Heh. Good—let him come. As long as that woman’s in our hands, even if he shows up, he’ll have to toe the line,” Madison Isaacson sneered.Edward Isaacson nodded, but his brows stayed knotted. “Fine words, but why do I still feel uneasy?”Madison chuckled. “Grandpa, rest easy. This is Ethereal City—Miss Baldwin’s turf. Even the King of Northern Liang wouldn’t dare make waves here at will. Besides, we’re a family under that sect’s umbrella. In this world, who would dare move against us?”“Dad, when Anthony gets here, I’ll tear him to pieces,” someone declared.No sooner had the words fallen than a warrior from the Isaacson family rushed in, shouting, “Old Mr. Isaacson, there are a lot of people outside!”“A lot of people?” Edward blinked. “What do you mean?”“Looks like Commander Liam Kane’s men,” the warrior answered.Edward’s eyes lit at once. “Oh? Back so soon? Don’t tell me he’s already dealt with Anthony and brought him in?”“Grandpa, let’s go see for ourselves,” Madison said with

    If he could avoid a fight, he would. Since they recognized his Senior Sister, these people were at least connected to her. If they were meant to be cut down, she wouldn’t have given him this hairpin. She must have handed it over for this very purpose.Faces grew more and more solemn as they stared at the exquisite hairpin.They studied it for several long minutes.“It really is Miss Baldwin’s hairpin!”In an instant—The leader gave a full-body shudder and dropped to one knee.“Sir, please don’t blame us! We were blind.”As soon as he knelt, the hundred-odd men behind him followed suit in a wave.“We were blind!”“Sir, forgive us!”Anthony’s brows lifted slightly.Who’d have thought a small hairpin could wield such weight?It seemed his Senior Sister’s influence was no small thing.In their eyes, the fact that Anthony held Angela Baldwin’s hairpin was proof enough of his identity and power. Angela Baldwin was the Guardian King. Ethereal City sprawled far and wide—its entire domain lay

    “Let’s go!”Angela Baldwin said it and moved to drag Anthony away.Seeing that, Anthony hurriedly said, “Senior Sister, don’t—don’t be hasty. Let me handle this.”He could tell this senior sister of his was no soft touch. If she really crossed paths with Freya Mitchell, the consequences could be unimaginable.“What are you hesitating for? Just come with me. If I’m there and the Isaacson family so much as harms a hair on your head, I’ll wipe their clan off the map,” Angela Baldwin said.“No, no, no!”Anthony blurted, “Senior Sister, you know we were taught by the same master. Wherever we go, we can’t let people look down on us, right? If I let you take me there today, when word gets out, wouldn’t that be a slap to our master’s face? You know how much he values his reputation.”At that, Angela Baldwin actually paused, thoughtful.Her lovely face tightened; she nodded. “You do have a point.”Then she looked at Anthony, eyes narrowing. “Fine. Then I’ll give you something.”She reached up,

    Angela didn’t hesitate—she wrapped her arms around Anthony’s head.“You little brat, I’ve waited three years for you…”Anthony froze, stunned by her words.Then, cautiously, he asked, “Miss Baldwin, what… what do you mean?”“Hmph!”Angela huffed, clearly displeased. She rubbed her cheek against his neck as she spoke.Anthony caught the scent of her perfume. His scalp tingled.In that moment, it felt like electricity had run through his entire body.Witnessing this, Ophelia looked as if she’d been struck by lightning herself.What… what was going on?Did she just say “sister”!?When had her lady ever spoken so tenderly to a man?Ophelia knew Angela well—she never let strangers close. She never even spoke to most men, let alone touched them.But now? Now she was hugging this guy—and acting all coy?What the hell was happening?Ophelia was beyond speechless.If anyone who knew Angela Baldwin’s true identity saw this, their jaws would hit the floor.“You still haven’t recognized me?” Ange

    Which meant... she had just exposed herself to Anthony.Damn it!!Humiliation burned through her.Anthony suddenly sensed danger approaching.In the next moment, he instinctively raised both arms to block.Boom!With a dull, heavy thud, he took the full force of the kick. His arms trembled violently—not just from the impact, but from the surge of power that exploded from the woman’s body. That force drove through him like a tidal wave, forcing him backward.But Anthony reacted instantly.He channeled his inner power and sent Angela Baldwin flying in return.Angela steadied herself midair, landing gracefully. Her cheeks flushed red as she reached out, snatching her dagger back into her grip.Watching this, Ophelia was beyond stunned.If she weren’t a capable martial artist herself, she might’ve fainted from fear just witnessing the sheer violence of their clash.She had always known how powerful her lady was. But now, she also knew how strong Anthony was.Neither of them was someone to

    Anthony took a deep breath and said steadily, “I fear nothing. Perhaps there’s no one left in this world who can match me. So while I admit you won’t fall to a single blow...”He paused, his voice cold and resolute.“But I guarantee—you won’t survive three moves.”"Then let's see," Angela Baldwin said, looking at Anthony with fearless eyes.Anthony replied calmly, "Go ahead. I’ll let you make the first move."Angela didn’t waste words. With both daggers in hand, her figure blurred, leaving afterimages in her wake as she surged forward, killing intent erupting like a tidal wave.She was fast—unbelievably fast.In just a blink, she had crossed over ten meters. Her arms moved with lightning speed, twin blades flashing with a cold gleam as they swung down toward Anthony’s head.Swish! Swish!The force behind the blades was terrifying. Each strike carried a freezing chill, laced with murderous intent, sharp enough to cut through the air itself.These two daggers were Angela Baldwin’s weapo
