"Are you one of these ancient martial warriors?" Sage exclaimed in surprise.

But Ambrose paid no attention to Sage and charged forward for another round of fierce attacks.

Sage shouted back and fought back against Ambrose. Their fists swung like a violent storm, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake.

After hundreds of punches, Sage, who had yet to cultivate his inner strength, was defeated and sent flying by Ambrose's punch to his abdomen.

He spat out blood.

Ambrose was also clearly not feeling well, gasping for air. At this moment, a man who looked quite similar to Elliott Kane emerged from behind Ambrose's burly body.

"Lux Arden's subordinate? Not bad."

"But is it worth risking your life for that trash?"

"Why not be my subordinate instead?" Sage sneered at the offered olive branch.

"Who are you? You're not even worthy to be compared to Master Lux!" The man's smile instantly disappeared from his face.

"Then you can die." He gave a signal to Ambrose, who immediately began to attack Sage, who was already seriously injured.

The man walked past the dying Sage, who tried to stop him but had his arm broken by Ambrose's foot.

The man sneered at Sage, who was now silent, and kicked open the door to Amelia's hospital room.

The Thompson family mother and daughter were scared out of their wits by the previous fight, huddled together trembling.

The man sneered and walked up to Ava, admiring the stunning beauty before him and couldn't help but exclaim, "Famous for good reason, you truly are as beautiful as a flower and as delicate as jade, with a face like a fox spirit."

Ava stood in front of Amelia and Salome, forcing herself to remain calm as she said, "Who are you? This is my mother's hospital room, please leave!"

The man replied, "Smith Kane. You must have heard of my older brother, Elliott Kane." Ava's expression froze as she angrily retorted,

"Of course I've heard of him, he's the one who drove my sister to jump off a building. I will never let him off the hook in this lifetime."

"I don't care why you're here today, but I have nothing to say to you. Please leave immediately, or I will call for help!" Smith Kane sneered,

"Who do you plan on calling? Security? The Public Security Bureau? Or that useless guy named Lux Arden?"

"He killed my older brother and is probably on the run by now." The mother and daughter were both shocked to hear this.

They never expected that Lux Arden would actually go and kill someone because of Amelia's casual remark.

He was so crazy about being with Ava that he went to such extremes!

After speaking, Smith Kane turned to Ava. He reached out his rough right hand and forcefully pinched Ava's delicate face, as if she were just a toy.

"You are his beloved, after all!" Ava angrily slapped away Smith Kane's right hand, raised her head defiantly, and glared at Smith Kane.

Smith Kane glanced at his right hand that had been opened and rubbed it casually on his body.

Then, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Ava's face, knocking her to the ground.

"Sister!" Salome exclaimed, shaking his wheelchair and rushing towards Smith Kane.

But Smith Kane heartlessly kicked him over, and the whole person was pressed under the wheelchair.

Amelia watched her two daughters fall to the ground and instantly turned into an angry mother lion.

She grabbed a fruit knife from the table and stabbed towards Smith Kane.

"l'll fight you!"

Smith Kane easily took the fruit knife and slapped Amelia, sending her flying and crashing into the wall, her life hanging by a thread.

"Mom! Salome!" Ava struggled to stand up and hurried towards her mother and sister.

But Smith Kane grabbed her hair and dragged her back. "Don't worry, I won't kill you until I catch Lux Arden. I still need you two to lure that cowardly turtle out."

"I want him to watch his beloved woman die in front of him, helpless and unable to do anything. I want him to feel how cruel it is."

"I want him to know how powerless, how humble, and how insignificant he is."

"Only in this way can I pay tribute to my brother's spirit in heaven!" After speaking, he picked up Ava and dragged Salome out of the ward.

Lux Arden and Andrew Blackwood rushed back to the First Hospital as quickly as possible.

Looking at the ground covered with members of the Black-x team at the entrance, they felt a sense of alarm.

Lux Arden rushed up the stairs and found that Sage had fallen in a pool of blood.

He quickly took out a silver needle and used the Seven Star Life-Saving technique to barely save Sage's life.

He rushed into the ward like a madman, only to find that the two sisters from the Thompson family were nowhere to be found, and only Amelia was lying unconscious on the floor.

Lux Arden woke up Amelia and asked, "Mom, what happened? Where are Ava and Salome?"

Amelia was in a daze and weakly replied, "Smith Kane... he took Ava and the others away. Quickly... go save them..."

After hearing this, Lux Arden's killing intent surged like a solid substance.

After a thunderous roar, he disappeared without a trace.

Andrew Blackwood, who arrived later, also learned the whole story. He trembled and took out his phone to call the Blackwood family and other high-ranking officials.

After answering the phone, Knox Blackwood and Anthony, among others, were stunned and couldn't help but think the same thing in their hearts.

The sky over Marlowe... has collapsed!

    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

  • CHAPTER 93

    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
