So… he was worried about me?

A flicker of delight bloomed in Melanie Oakley's heart.

A man as powerful as Anthony—how could any woman not fall for him? To have someone like that to rely on… it would be a kind of happiness she'd never known.

Anthony led Melanie Oakley away from the Osborne estate.

By the time they returned to the Heavenly Dojo, she had half a mind to ask him to stay. But Anthony simply said, “Goodbye,” and walked off without another word.

Cool and distant, just as always.

Melanie bit her lip as she watched his retreating figure—yet a smile still tugged at the corners of her mouth.

She refused to believe she wouldn’t be able to win him over…

Meanwhile, at the Wilson family estate in Aurelia City, chaos had erupted.

Every member of the Wilson family had gathered in the great hall.

At the center, a bloodied, disfigured corpse lay on the floor—a horrifying sight.

An oppressive silence blanketed the room.

“This… is this really my grandson?” the old patriarch of the Wils

    Fist after fist crashed down on Felix’s face, each blow more merciless than the last.Felix passed out from the pain, only to wake up again in agony.When he came to, he scrambled to his knees in front of Anthony, kowtowing desperately."Mr. Jones, I was wrong! I swear I was wrong! Please—spare me! Let me live!"He trembled violently, like a fat pig pinned to the butcher’s table.Anthony’s face remained cold and indifferent, saying nothing.Franklin, on the other hand, stood ramrod straight like a soldier awaiting orders."Mr. Jones, say the word—I'll deal with this piece of trash however you like!""Someone like him has no place in government," Anthony said flatly. "Do what you want. I never want to see him again."In truth, it wasn’t Felix who had truly provoked Anthony—it was Ian. The real culprit had already been punished. Killing Felix would’ve been meaningless.Franklin nodded furiously. "Yes, yes, absolutely! Everything will be done as you say, Mr. Jones."He then turned and ro

    Anthony took a deep breath and said coldly, "I hadn’t planned on killing you. But now, I’ve changed my mind. You have to die today." Ian sneered in response. So long as his father was here, he believed nothing could go wrong. He turned to Felix and said, "Dad, did you hear that? This punk’s out of his mind!" Felix’s face was dark, but he didn’t fly into a rage. Instead, he said coldly, "You think I, Felix Doyle, got this far by bluffing? I’ve earned my place—understand?" He raised his hand and commanded, "Call Mr. Thompson. I want this kid dead today." "Yes, Mr. Doyle!" One of the Mythical Tier bodyguards immediately took out his phone to make the call. "No need to call. I’m already here." A deep, rugged voice rang out from outside. Felix’s face lit up with joy. "Ha! Kid, you're finished now!" He turned his head quickly. Outside, Mr. Thompson was escorting a middle-aged man inside—his face cold, his expression uneasy. That man was Franklin Fisher, mayor of Silverhave

    Panic overwhelmed Ian Doyle. Facing these two monstrous figures, his courage shattered. "You… you just wait…" His hands trembling, Ian fumbled out his phone and dialed his father’s number. "Dad… Dad! Come save me! I’m going to die!" As soon as the call connected, Ian broke down into sobs. "What’s going on? What happened?" came an urgent voice from the other end. "Dad, no time to explain! Come now! I’m at Crystal Haven, Villa One!" "I’m busy right now! Who the hell would dare touch you?!" his father shouted furiously. "Dad, it’s Freya Mitchell… she recorded me! Her ex-husband is trying to kill me! You have to come now or I’m dead!!" The moment he heard that, Ian’s father exploded with rage. "Fuck! Who dares touch my son?! Don’t they know I’m the mayor’s secretary?! Tell him to wait. I’m coming right now!" The call ended. Ian looked smugly at Anthony, sneering: "My dad’s on his way. You’re fucking dead, punk!" He knew exactly how powerful his father was. In Silverhaven Ci

    Preston hesitated and said carefully, “Mom, we… we really were pretty cruel to Anthony before. Maybe we should go apologize. He might be willing to help us.”Kimberly stared at him for a moment, then slowly nodded. “You might be right. How about we call him and ask to meet?”“Yeah, okay!” Preston nodded quickly, but added, “But Mom, you call him. I’m not doing it. He definitely doesn’t want to see me.”“Sigh, fine. I’ll do it.” Kimberly let out a long sigh.She knew this was the price of her past actions—now she had to face the consequences herself.If she had known Anthony’s true identity and strength back then, she would have never let him go.Just thinking about it made her heart ache.—At that moment.Crystal Haven.Anthony’s phone suddenly rang.He glanced at the screen—it was Kimberly Lane, his former mother-in-law.He didn’t want to pick up, but for some reason beyond logic, he answered the call.“Hello.” His tone was cold.“I’m busy. What do you want?”Kimberly spoke cautious

    "I won’t, Mom!" she quickly assured.Only then did her mother finally relax, her face softening with a loving smile. She knew her daughter well—kind-hearted and principled. She wouldn't do anything truly wrong.On the way home, her mother suddenly brought something up."Sweetheart, you’re not young anymore. It’s about time you found a boyfriend.""Huh?" Kiera was caught off guard. "Mom, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"Her mother chuckled. "I’m getting old. I just want to hold a grandchild soon. That young man who saved us—he seems like a good one! He saved my life. He’s our family’s benefactor. You’re single, you’re beautiful—I think you two could give it a try."Kiera’s face turned bright red, all the way to her ears.Anthony’s face flashed through her mind again.Her mother smiled more brightly. "Think about it, sweetheart."Kiera didn’t respond. But truthfully, she did want to get closer to Anthony.Not just because he had saved them—he was likely a Celestial Tier

    Anthony could tell at a glance—there was a tumor the size of a thumb in her brain. It had already begun to spread. She didn’t have long to live.“Mr. Jones, this is my mother. Please… can you help her?” Kiera asked anxiously.Her mother froze, confused.The doctors had already declared her illness incurable. How could there still be hope?She quickly pieced it together—this was the reason her daughter had brought her here so early in the morning.A sliver of doubt crept into her heart. Had her daughter been scammed?And yet, Anthony spoke casually, “I can heal her.”The words stunned both women.Kiera's face lit up with joy. Her mother, however, was visibly skeptical.She was cautious by nature and feared her daughter was being deceived. But seeing the joy on Kiera’s face, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything.Her daughter had already sacrificed so much for her. She didn’t want to extinguish her hope.She looked again at the young man before her and silently concluded—he wa
