"It is I! If you have heard of my name, then you should leave now! Do you really want me to kill you with my bare hands?" Zayn's voice was imposing, but his hands behind his back were trembling uncontrollably.

Gerald confirmed Zayn's identity and sneered.

"Hmph, just you? Alright, I'll show you what a ranked 47th ancient martial artist on the Dragon and Tiger List is capable of!"

With that, Gerald took a deep breath, and his bones cracked as he grew even larger.

He then charged towards Zayn.

Zayn, seeing that Gerald was not intimidated by his reputation, had no choice but to fight back.

The two of them clashed fiercely, with the sound of fists and palms echoing through the air.

Everywhere they went, chaos followed. Just as they were in the midst of their battle, Lux Arden calmly said, "I'm afraid Zayn will soon be defeated."

As if on cue, Zayn was hit by Gerald in a vital spot, and blood spurted from his mouth as he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Gerald sneered, "What kind of nonsense is the Shadowless Hand? Pathetic!"

The people from the Blackwood family looked hopeless.

Zayn was their last hope, and now that he had been defeated, who could stop the madness of Gerald and save their family?

Gerald looked at the desperate expressions of the crowd and laughed triumphantly, walking slowly towards the Backwood family with great arrogance.

At this moment, the Blackwood family was like fish on a chopping board in his eyes. They could only let him slaughter them!

But just as Gerald was being arrogant and domineering, a voice, old and dignified, rang out.

"Enough! This is a two billion check. Take the money and get out of here!" Everyone turned around to see that it was Wynn helping Knox Blackwood walk over.

He woke up so quickly!

Gerald was stunned for a moment, then looked disdainfully at the check lying on the ground, and said fiercely, "Old man, do you think l'm a fool? Taking a check to get money is like walking into a trap!"

"Besides, are you trying to send me away like a beggar? What I want is ten billion!" Knox Blackwood was so angry that he trembled all over and said,

"This is outrageous! Do you really think we Backwood family are made of clay? If you don't want it, forget it. Even if I die today, you won't get a penny from me!"

After speaking, Knox Blackwood tore the check in his hand to pieces, with a look of willingness to die rather than surrender on his face.

Gerald laughed loudly, "Hahaha, good, you have backbone! l just don't know if your descendants are as tough as you!" After speaking, he rushed towards Dora.

Just as he was about to grab Dora's slender and delicate neck, his smile froze on his face.

His wrist was held effortlessly by Lux Arden, who was standing beside him.

He couldn't move.

The pain from his wrist made Gerald's face contort.

"Kid, let go of me. Do you want to die?" Gerald shouted at Lux Arden.

"Oh? Sure."

Lux Arden lifted his leg and kicked Gerald's stomach hard. Gerald flew like a kite with a broken string, spinning in the air before landing on the ground, spitting out blood.

After struggling for a few times, Gerald managed to stand up, his face full of panic.

"I didn't expect you to have such skills. I was wrong about you. But don't think this is the end of it! You may protect them for now, but you won't be able to protect them forever. One day, I will come back and settle the score with you!"

After saying these words, Gerald rushed towards the door like an arrow.

But Lux Arden suddenly spoke up,

"Did I let you go?"

Boom!

In an instant, Gerald's mind shook violently, and he felt like a thunderbolt had exploded in his head.

He was thrown to the ground with a loud bang. He barely managed to stabilize himself by supporting himself with his hands, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Kid, don't be so ignorant. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Gerald threatened fiercely.

"Oh? Really? Then why don't you show me what you've got?" Lux Arden sneered.

Under the provocation of Lux Arden, Gerald's face was almost bleeding.

Had he ever been humiliated like this before?

Today, no matter what the cost, he would kill Lux Arden!

"Good, then go to die!"

Gerald roared, gritted his teeth, and swung his arm to hit his chest fiercely, knocking dozens of times before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His whole body was instantly covered by a strange blood-red light, terrifying and frightening.

Zayn, who had awakened, exclaimed in shock, "A sinister warrior! He is a sinister warrior!" Dora, who was scared silly, came back to her senses and asked,

"Grandpa Zayn, what is a sinister warrior?"

"It's a group of crazy people who practice cruel secret techniques, accumulate evil spirits and sacrifice their lifespan to gain a short-term surge of strength by killing people!" Dora covered her mouth tightly with her hand after hearing this.

Just thinking about those bloody scenes made her shudder.

She was afraid that the scene of the sinister warriors' practice would be even more terrifying and cruel than she had imagined.

She looked at Lux Arden with great concern, praying that he would not be hurt.

At this moment, Zayn's face showed a resolute expression. He said, "Dora, help me up. I'll go stop him. Gerald has now launched his secret technique, and his killing intent is as fierce as a wild beast."

"You take your family and run away as fast as you can." Dora burst into tears and trembled, "Grandpa Zayn, what about you.."

Zayn's face was filled with a heroic and tragic expression, as if he were a martyr about to be executed.

"As a guardian of the Blackwood family, how can I sit idly by and watch the family fall? What are you waiting for? Let's go!" The people of the Blackwood family were all filled with sorrow and tears flowed like rain.

At this moment, Gerald also seemed to be responding to Zayn's judgment.

He let out a low growl, like a wild beast gone mad, and turned his blood-red eyes towards Lux Arden.

Then, he pounced!

Just when everyone thought that Lux Arden would be torn to pieces by Gerald, he did not dodge or avoid, but slowly raised his right arm.

And then, he swung it!

Smack!

A slap suddenly landed on Gerald's face, sending him flying to the ground.

    Upon hearing this, Selma frowned slightly and said, "Come on, Mr. Joe, it's nothing serious. Don't make a big deal out of it." Mr. Joe, he housekeeper, retorted with a serious expression, "Miss, how can you say it's not a big deal? You are the young lady of the prestigious Bowen family! You were trapped in a fire and almost died. How can that be considered a small matter?" "Next time, you can't go out alone. You must have bodyguards accompanying you!" "Let's go back to the mansion now. We need to call all the renowned doctors in Marlowe to have a consultation and make sure there are no hidden dangers." The Thompson sisters realized the identity of the stunning woman in front of them. In the entire Marlowe city, only the first family, the Bowen family, could have such a grand scene and casually use a private helicopter. The woman in front of them must be Selma Bowen, the apple of the old patriarch's eye and the Bowen family's young lady who was praised as a goddess by the

  • CHAPTER 94

    Two stunning beauties, with despair on their faces, were driving Lux Arden away, having completely lost the courage to continue the struggle. They were ready to accept their fate calmly. However, Lux Arden frowned and whispered, "Don't give up so easily. We will definitely find a way to escape." The beautiful woman shook her head tearfully and replied, "What else can we do? Jump off the building? It's more than twenty floors high. Even if the fire department puts out safety airbags, it won't help. We are at a dead end." She burst into tears again. However, this simple sentence awakened Lux Arden. Because Ava had once said that she didn't want to be besieged by the media and just wanted to live a peaceful life. Therefore, Lux Arden had been thinking only of rescuing people discreetly, avoiding exposing his identity and using force. But the situation in front of him was extremely critical, and he couldn't afford to hold back anymore. Moreover, with his current appe

    Ava was so angry that she couldn't speak, trembling all over. She pushed Calista hard, but she didn't budge. Instead, she pushed her to the ground and spat, "You lowly bastard, you still want to fight with me? Just lie here and wait for retribution!" With that, she turned around and walked away in anger. Ava was furious and tears streamed down her face. She hated herself for being so weak that she was dragged out by Calista and left Salome in danger. She instinctively reached out her hand, waiting for Lux Arden to help her, but in the next moment, she was horrified to find that Lux Arden had disappeared. "Lux Arden!" Ava shouted his name hoarsely, as if going crazy, wanting to rush into the fire. But she was stopped by the security guards and later dragged to the safe zone by the firefighters who had finally arrived. At this time, Lux Arden had already rushed into the thick smoke of the mall. Due to the explosion and fireworks, the visibility was extremely limited, a

  • CHAPTER 92

    Lux Arden became interested when he heard that there was going to be a class reunion. Although he had often seen Ava during the years he pursued Seraphina, they had not spent much time together. Recently, they had been spending more time together, but he only knew about Ava's family situation. He knew very little about her past. The class reunion was a good opportunity for him to get to know her better. So he urged her, "Go, it's been so many years since we've seen each other, we should catch up." "Besides, I can also chat with your classmates and hear your stories from the past." Ava blushed and scolded him, "It's just some ordinary days of studying, what stories could there be?" Although she now lived under the same roof as Lux Arden, she still felt a little shy at the thought of her youthful past being revealed to him. When Calista saw that Lux Arden had agreed for Ava, and Ava had not objected, she was extremely excited and said, "Great, then it's settled. You mu

  • CHAPTER 91

    Ava's generosity and tolerance were well-known to Louis. Upon hearing her words, he couldn't help but feel grateful and shed tears of appreciation. However, even though Ava had spoken, he still didn't dare to stand up. After all, these troubles were caused by him, and he should apologize. Plus, Lux Arden hadn't spoken yet, so he didn't have the courage to stand up. He could only kneel on the ground silently without saying a word. There were already many onlookers outside the shop, and now more and more people were gathering. They pointed and discussed the matter, causing a commotion. Ava saw that the situation was getting out of hand and quickly nudged Lux Arden, indicating that he should resolve the matter as soon as possible. Lux Arden snorted coldly and said, "Get up. If there's a next time, I won't be lenient!" Louis couldn't believe his ears. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Lux Arden gratefully. But Lux Arden continued to speak harshly, urging hi

  • CHAPTER 90

    Lux Arden was not moved by the wealthy woman's plea for mercy, and his face became even colder. He said calmly, "Don't worry, I have no use for your worthless life." "I have promised my family's Ava that I won't take lives easily. Now, I just want you to fulfill our bet." "You said the bracelet was too big to swallow, so I ground it into powder for you." "Now that you still refuse to eat it, do you think pretending to be pitiful will help you escape?" Lux Arden glanced at the pale-faced woman and urged her, "Besides, aren't you fond of money?" "Aren't you even a little curious about what it's like to taste one billion dollars?" The wealthy woman's face was as bitter as if she had swallowed several pounds of bitter herbs. She did love money, but she was not stupid enough to risk her own life to satisfy her curiosity! However, she didn't dare to argue with Lux Arden's at this moment, and could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy. Louis, who was standing aside, st
