Looking at Simon Thompson lying motionless on the ground, Anthony's face showed disdain as he sneered, "Garbage. You dare to stop me from killing the Robinson family?"

These words were an outright insult! For a martial artist, this was an unbearable humiliation! Especially since Simon Thompson was a Transcendent Tier expert!

If Sullivan Richards was considered Silverhaven City's top martial arts expert, then Simon Thompson was among the elite even throughout the entire Western Region!

Such a powerful figure would be revered by any family!

Yet—today, he had been defeated by Anthony in a single move!

This was unprecedented in the entire martial arts world!

At this moment, Lily Smith stared at Anthony with her mouth forming an "O" shape, utterly shocked!

"So powerful..."

So her fiancé was actually this formidable?!

This kind of man was truly worthy of her, Lily Smith's, admiration!

Compared to him, someone like Orson Robinson wasn't even worthy to shine Anthony Jones's shoes!

Tell me who else was involved in killing the Jones family, and I may spare your lives!"This was perhaps their only chance for survival!But like Sebastian Robinson and Simon Thompson, they all dared not speak!Seeing this, Anthony coldly said, "It seems you won't speak either...

    Just then—A Range Rover suddenly sped up and stopped outside the Western King Estate.Immediately after, a middle-aged man in a business suit hurriedly got out of the car and rushed into the Western King Estate.However, as he passed by, he glimpsed Lily Smith standing at the entrance, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.Yet the guards ignored him completely, making no move to stop him.This man was one of the Western King's business representatives, so naturally, the guards wouldn't stop him.After entering the Western King Estate, the middle-aged man quickly found the Western King himself.Inside the Western King EstateIn the great hall sat a man with extraordinary presence.This man was none other than the Western King!Upon seeing the Western King, the middle-aged man immediately knelt down, respectfully saying, "Reporting to the Western King, the Robinson family has been wiped out by someone from the Jones family."The Western King was a man in his thirties, with fair ski

    "Haha, the Smith family?"The Western King sneered and said, "Your Smith family? On what grounds do you come to me for mercy?"Lily Smith raised her head to look at the Western King and said firmly, "The Smith family is willing to offer half of our family assets!"With these words.Everyone around was momentarily stunned.But they weren't amazed—rather, their reactions carried a hint of mockery.The Western King looked at Lily Smith with contempt and sneered, "How much could half of your Smith family's assets be worth? It's merely one month's food expenses for my three hundred thousand troops! Do you think I would care about that trivial amount—enough for just one month's meals?"Instantly, everyone around burst into laughter.Nathan Martin laughed outright and said, "Lily Smith, even if your Smith family offered all your assets, we wouldn't be interested.""However... you are quite beautiful..."Hearing these words, Lily Smith's expression instantly tightened.These words were nothin

With over a dozen Mythical Tier experts, our combined aura could shatter him at any moment!"The people of the Western King Estate sneered one after another, their eyes full of disdain.At this time, a flash of worry appeared in Lily Smith's eyes.She hurriedly called out to Anthony, "Anthony, leave this place quickly, I'll beg them..."Hearing this, Anthony's frown deepened!He had already noticed that Lily Smith was injured.This woman, although there were no feelings between them, was still the fiancée arranged by his family!Now, she had been injured?How could Anthony tolerate this?Immediately, his gaze turned cold, and he shouted angrily, "Which bast

    In an instant, severed limbs fell pattering to the ground, followed by bodies crashing down one after another.Seeing this, the Western King's face instantly turned extremely ugly, while everyone present had eyes filled with terror."Fuck!""Is this kid for real? One person fighting over twenty masters, including more than a dozen Mythical Tier experts—it's simply heaven-defying! Is he even human?"The onlookers were completely stunned.It was well known that a single Mythical Tier master was enough to dominate a region, let alone more than a dozen Mythical Tier experts. Yet, they didn't even have a chance to get close to Anthony.Anyone who made contact with Anthony would be mysteriously blasted away, and in the blink of an eye, he would appear before them, either dismembering their legs or wrenching off their arms.In short, not a single person could escape Anthony's control!Anthony looked at the enemies moaning on the ground and shook his head, saying, "I thought the martial world

    "Who is it?"Anthony asked directly, not wanting to miss any clues."The Northern King!!"This name was enough to make their hearts tremble."The Northern King?"Anthony frowned and asked, "Is this person so formidable?"Caroline Hill nodded and said, "The Western King was once a battle general under the Northern King, and his power is extremely strong, with far-reaching influence!""However, this is just my guess! How could someone like the Northern King possibly be involved with a small family in our little Silverhaven City? He would have no reason to target the Jones family."Anthony took a deep breath and said:"Regardless of the reason, as long as the Jones family's extermination has anything to do with this Northern King, I will get to the bottom of it!""Caroline... where is the Northern King now?"Hearing this, Caroline Hill shook her head and said:"Mr. Jones, the Northern King's whereabouts are mysterious. No one knows where he is, but I will investigate."Hearing this, Anth

    Faced with these unreasonable people, Anthony was at a loss for words.He shrugged and smirked:"Preston Mitchell, I think I've been too nice to you. The 'Auspicious Harmony' you smashed could buy five villas here. Do you believe I'll sue you when I get back?"Hearing this, Preston Mitchell's face changed instantly,His heart trembled violently.But he remained stubborn, gritting his teeth in anger:"Anthony! That tea set was stolen by you, and you dare threaten me with this? Have you no shame?""Bastard, stop intimidating my son!"Kimberly Lane was furious, raising her hand to slap Anthony!After all, at the banquet that night, Anthony had slapped her!How could she possibly swallow that anger?Slap!However, contrary to her expectations—A crisp slapping sound rang out.Kimberly Lane felt her ears ringing,She was completely stunned by the slap!Holding her face, she looked at Anthony in utter disbelief, stammering:"You... you dog, you dare to hit me?!"It's worth noting, she was A

    The moment they stepped in, Anthony felt an intense chill.Despite the summer heat, a cold, ghostly air pervaded the room.Something was wrong.Anthony focused his senses—and immediately his expression changed.Below them!The ground beneath their feet was hollow.Tensing, Anthony grabbed Maria and leapt onto the wall."Ah!" Maria yelped.Anthony swiftly covered her mouth and gestured for silence.Maria blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently.In the next instant, Anthony gathered force into his arm and struck the ground with a mighty blow.Boom!Dust and debris flew everywhere.When the dust finally cleared, Maria stood frozen, her little face pale with shock.A gaping, black hole yawned before them, cold air seeping from within.Anthony frowned. "This is it."The chill was definitely coming from the hole.Maria wasn’t so surprised by the hidden entrance—what truly shocked her was Anthony’s sheer strength. One punch had caused such devastation!Anthony turned to her. "You wait out

    "Anthony," she said kindly, "you've seen how our family lives. We really can't offer you money. You saved my life, and I must repay you somehow. Please, tell me if there's anything you need. I’ll do everything in my power."Hearing this, Anthony waved his hands quickly. "Really, Auntie, there's no need. I lack nothing.""That won’t do," she said seriously. "It’s only right to repay kindness."Anthony sighed, just about to say something, when his phone rang in his pocket.The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. But Anthony wasn’t surprised—he had just gotten a new phone number, so it was natural he hadn’t saved many contacts yet. Still, if someone wanted to find him, they would.He answered the call.A soft, whispery voice came through."Hello? Is this Anthony?"Anthony froze.Who was this?"I’m sorry, who is this?" he asked coolly.The girl on the other end huffed and said, "It’s Maria Smith! You don’t recognize my voice, Anthony?"It really was her.Anthony blinked in surprise. He

    Rowan Thompson’s face darkened at Anthony’s words.In front of so many people, this kid had the nerve to call him a quack? It was a slap to his dignity.Furious, Rowan barked, "Kid, if you can bring this woman back to life, I'll kneel, kowtow, and call you Grandfather!"Hearing such a resolute vow, Anthony sneered, "I don't want a grandson as old as you. How about this—if I bring her back, you strip naked and streak through the hospital?""What the hell? Does he really think he can raise the dead?""Yeah! She has no vital signs at all. Isn’t this just a joke?"Though Rowan was seething, he nodded firmly. "Fine! But if you fail...""The same!" Anthony said without hesitation. "I'll strip and run around naked too."Rowan smirked coldly. "Good. You all heard him, right?""We heard!" the crowd echoed.Without further delay, Anthony strode forward, lifted the white sheet, and revealed the pale face of Phoebe and Layla Nelson’s mother.Without hesitation, Anthony flipped his hand, and a han

    Half an hour later.Serena Phillips drove Anthony to a Western restaurant in downtown Silverhaven City.At the entrance of the restaurant, a tall and graceful woman was already waiting.The moment Anthony stepped out of the car, he spotted Phoebe Nelson.Almost simultaneously, Phoebe saw Anthony too. She immediately jogged toward him.Anthony raised an eyebrow.Well, well!Those long legs...Such a slender figure!She was already strikingly beautiful with an extraordinary aura. Now, with light makeup, she looked almost ethereal.Most impressively, she could still manage a little run in high heels, drawing the attention of many passersby."Good evening, Vice President Jones!" Phoebe greeted, her smile blooming like a flower.At that moment, Serena Phillips also stepped out of the car.The instant Phoebe saw Serena, she froze.So beautiful!How could someone be so breathtaking?Her looks were flawless, her demeanor otherworldly—like an angel descending to earth.Could she be Vice Presid

Otherwise, my granddaughter and I would have died here today."Jonathan Gibson smiled and waved his hand dismissively, "Old Mr. Phillips, since that's the case, perhaps you could help me with a small favor.""Absolutely, no problem at all," Hugo Phillips nodded.Anthony then interjected, "You can discuss that later. Let me treat your injuries first."With that, Anthony approached Hugo Phillips

    Serena Phillips also understood her grandfather's intentions and called out, "Anthony, you can't afford to mess with 'Demon Manor'! Leave quickly! Don't worry about us!"Hearing their pleas, Anthony remained unmoved.He looked at the masked man and raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, I've never heard of this 'Demon Manor' place, so... you still have to die."Upon hearing this, the masked man said gravely, "Kid, if you kill me, both the Phillips family and you will suffer endless retribution from our Demon Manor. Can you bear that burden?""He's right! Anthony, take Serena and leave! I don't mind dying!" Hugo Phillips shouted anxiously.The masked man felt a surge of hope at these words.He was now certain this young man wouldn't dare kill him.So he roared, "Kid, withdraw your power and leave now! I'll pretend nothing happened! But if you remain stubborn and dare to fight me, the price you'll pay in the future will be absolutely terrifying!""Stubborn?!"Anthony laughed coldly, his eyes filled

    Hugo Phillips gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care who paid you or how much to kill us. I'll give you five times that amount! Plus, the Phillips family will pay you five hundred million dollars annually. You can do whatever you want with it!"At this point, he just needed to ensure one of them survived.He was already old; dying here wouldn't matter!Hearing this,The masked man laughed darkly, "Old fool, do you think I'm interested in money?"Serena Phillips spoke up, "What do you need? We'll try our best to satisfy your demands, but please show mercy and spare us.""Heh... I need your head!"The masked man looked at Serena Phillips and smiled, "Your granddaughter is quite lovely. Why doesn't she come with me and serve me well? Then I'll spare your grandfather. How about that?"At these words, Serena Phillips' expression changed dramatically.She felt an icy chill instantly penetrate her entire body.This man was targeting her.Immediately, Hugo Phillips positioned himself in fr

    "Yes!"Raymond nodded.Hearing his confirmation, disbelief washed over everyone's faces."This... this can't be possible!""Indeed! If all of us old-timers couldn't solve it together, how could a young man do it?""Vice President, you're not joking, are you?"Raymond shrugged and said, "Whether I'm joking or not, you can investigate for yourselves. With your connections, finding out about the current condition of the Smith family's second daughter shouldn't be difficult."Upon hearing this, everyone present grew restless.Frederick Emerson's brow furrowed as he immediately said, "I'll make the call."With that, he took out his phone and dialed a number.After the call connected, Frederick Emerson directly voiced his doubts.But then, whatever was said on the other end instantly transformed his expression—From anger, to shock, to utter disbelief.A moment later, he hung up, looked at Raymond and Anthony, swallowed hard, and asked, "Is this truly Dr. Jones?""What do you think?"Raymon

    At this moment, Anthony said nothing more. He merely gave Charles Osborne a cold glance before stepping through the gates of the Medical Association.Raymond approached the two women and said sternly, "Come with me now. You'll both need to apologize properly to Mr. Jones and ensure he forgives you."Upon hearing Raymond's words, the women immediately tensed up, then nodded in unison.Meanwhile, Charles Osborne maintained a respectful expression throughout, not saying a word.Raymond gave him a meaningful look before following Anthony inside.Of course he knew who Charles Osborne was!A scion of the Osborne family who had earned his place in the Medical Association through genuine skill. His medical expertise was indeed considerable, which explained his arrogance.At this point, Charles Osborne had effectively been slapped in the face.Asking him to apologize and seek forgiveness from Anthony would be impossible for someone from such a prestigious family.So Raymond didn't even bother
