Author: Only For You
Aspen recalled Andrew's warning.

"High-end safes and lockboxes can't just be tampered with. Unless you know the exact code, the moment you mess with it, you'll likely trip an alarm and give yourself away."

She studied the safe in front of her and immediately saw it was top-of-the-line. The digital screen flashed the Tristars Group logo, and next to it was a set of physical buttons.

Aspen had come prepared. She pulled out a UV flashlight and scanned the keypad, but her heart sank.

Ezekiel had clearly anticipated this because there was not a single fingerprint mark. It was as if no one had ever pressed it with bare hands. That could only mean he always wore gloves when entering the code.

Aspen slipped two thin hairpins from her pinned-up hair. The ends were bent into hooks, perfect for lockpicking. She went to work on the safe, but it was no use.

The material was rock-solid, and no matter how hard she tried, the door did not budge.

Just then, her phone buzzed against her si

    Philip said, "Otto's scheme is far more deadly. He doesn't care whether the military wins or loses. In fact, he's hoping for our complete defeat! Ultimately, he wants to force out that one specific person. "You all think this battle is about national glory, where we can only win and never lose! But some people couldn't care less about national honor and disgrace. The only thing they care about is their own interests!" Luna's lips trembled as she asked, "Surely the Cunningham family wouldn't go that far, would they?" Philip waved dismissively and replied, "Luna, just focus on yourself. Holtrien is like a chariot riding the skies, and when everyone pulls together, we can fight the heavens and go against the world itself. "But if some people drag the wheels, some pull the horses the wrong way, and some just lie down without helping, then it is no longer a chariot but a collapsing castle in the sky." Luna's eyes filled with sorrow as she asked, "Even so, I still want to know w

    Ezekiel was unstoppable inside the Martial Tower. By this point, he had already stormed straight to the 30th floor. Along the way, three groups had tried to block his path, but without exception, all had been defeated. However, Ezekiel showed restraint in his attacks and did not kill anyone. The reason was simple: he did not bother wasting effort on these insignificant military soldiers. If he were going to kill anyone, it would at least be someone like Kyrie from the great families. If Andrew showed up, that would be even better. A faint smile played on his face, though his eyes remained cold as steel. "Mr. Beckett, this is as far as you'll ever reach!" On the 35th floor, Kyrie sat with commanding presence, clad in battle armor. His eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit. "Either you wisely retreat on your own, or we settle this once and for all!" Ezekiel stepped forward slowly, his smile growing wider with each step. Finally, he stopped five meters in front of Kyrie, pla

    Conrad could not help but argue back, "Grandpa, this is a confrontation between nations. Even though it's just a challenge, how can we allow our great nation of Holtrien to suffer such an insult? Bringing up old grudges with the Lloyd family at a time like this doesn't seem honorable or something to be proud of! As for Andrew, I don't trust him!" Otto sneered coldly and asked, "Are you questioning his abilities or doubting whether he'll even act?" Conrad replied honestly, "Both. He has lost all loyalty to the military. He even harbors hatred toward General Turman, which is common knowledge to many. What I fear is that he'll just sit back and watch Ezekiel publicly humiliate the military!" Otto chuckled with amusement and said, "That would actually be the best outcome for our family! This is a death trap with no escape, and I want that cursed dragon to hover on the edge of death and destruction." He continued, "If he doesn't die this time, then I'll set up a second trap, then

    Sergio said, "The Blood-Eye Chairman of Tristars Group, and Sorya's top fighter, the invincible Waylon Sloan... These two are prominent figures on the world stage. Their combined force: Waylon's Aether Balance martial path and the Blood-Eye's financial storms, has swept across the globe, leaving countless victims in its wake. "Although you're a promising talent in the Harding family, in my eyes… Kyrie, you're nowhere near Ezekiel's level!" Kyrie's anger flared as he shot back, "Grandpa, among all the families and factions in Chetvine, you've always ranked me dead last! This time, I will prove to you that I am second to none!" Sergio waved dismissively and said, "Go then. Talking won't change anything! I only have one requirement: keep yourself alive and don't throw your life away recklessly!" Kyrie felt bitter resentment as he headed toward the Martial Tower with a dark expression. Despite Sergio's small stature, he seemed as imposing and unmovable as a mountain itself at th

    Ezekiel did not hesitate and charged straight into the first floor of the Martial Tower. What surprised him was that there was no one guarding it, allowing him to pass through unobstructed. Frowning, he headed straight for the second floor. Looking around, no one was guarding it; the passage was wide open. 'What the hell is that old fox Philip up to?' Ezekiel wondered, feeling something ominous stir in his heart. Nonetheless, his overwhelming confidence and deep-seated schemes kept him calm and collected. His trip to Holtrien was to retrieve a national treasure belonging to Sorya. Before departing, the chairman of the Tristars Group had already asked Sorya's strongest martial artist to provide comprehensive strategic planning for him. As long as the old monsters from Holtrien's military did not get involved, he could crush the younger generation of Holtrien's military without trouble. National power often spread like wildfire; one spark could set an entire plain ablaze. If

    Ezekiel put one hand behind his back and said proudly, "I never joke around. I want to challenge Holtrien in my country's sacred name, specifically the Martial Tower that's known as the Eastern Arsenal. "Martial Tower was built with 100 floors, representing the pinnacle of Holtrien's martial arts. I may be unworthy, but I want to prove to your entire nation that there's still more beyond 100. Standing on the peak of Martial Tower's 100th floor and trampling everything underfoot? That view must be magnificent." These words were extremely insulting. Kyrie exploded with rage. "Fine, you've got guts, Ezekiel! Since you want to die, I will be the first to accept your challenge." Luna shouted angrily, "Wait, Kyrie! This is a matter of national importance. It's not something you alone can decide. I'll contact General Turman now and ask what's going on." Just then, Philip's voice was already coming from outside. "There's no need for that. Mr. Beckett has indeed submitted official d
