The entire city of Marlowe was in turmoil.

The wealthy Blackwood family had issued a hefty reward for information on the whereabouts of Smith Kane.

The entire police force of the city's public security bureau was mobilized, investigating every suspicious location, and the sound of police sirens could be heard throughout the streets.

What was even more frightening was that even the army had been deployed.

All the outbound traffic routes of Marlowe were blocked, and all vehicles leaving the city were inspected one by one.

Armored transport vehicles drove into Marlowe one after another, and soldiers armed with live ammunition were deployed in several areas of Marlowe to conduct a search.

Then they converged one by one, ensuring that no corner was missed.

The bewildered citizens of Marlowe were all in a panic, speculating on what had happened.

Rumors were flying everywhere.

In the suburbs of Marlowe.

Several strong men were wielding shovels and digging holes.

"Silas, what the hell is Boss and Second Young Master doing? We just got back to Marlowe, and instead of taking us out to have some fun, they brought us to this godforsaken place to dig holes. Are they looking for some treasure or something?" A Scruffy, yellow-haired man asked the burly man next to him.

The man lifted his head, revealing a face scarred by a terrifying wound, and spat, "Yellow Hair, why do you talk so much? Just dig when you're told to dig. What does it matter what Second Young Master wants to do? Do you really need an explanation?" As he spoke, a jeep sped towards them.

The car door opened, and Ambrose, with a black face, lifted a delicate-looking woman out of the car.

Silas quickly dropped the shovel in his hand and greeted Jayden, "Brother Ambrose, you're here." But Ambrose ignored him and casually threw the woman on the ground next to the pit.

Everyone finally understood that they were going to dispose of the body.

Ambrose stood in front of the pit, looking at the shallow depth of the hole, his brow furrowed with obvious anger.

Silas quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Brother Ambrose, don't be angry. Wait a moment, we'll finish digging soon." After speaking, he ran over and picked up the shovel, urging everyone to work harder.

But Jayden couldn't help but sneak a glance at the delicate-looking woman on the ground.

"Silas, this chick looks pretty good. She seems so gentle and weak. How did she get involved with Brother Ambrose?"

"Shut up!" Silas angrily slammed the shovel into the ground and cursed, "Just dig the hole! If you don't want to die, don't ask so many questions, got it?" Jayden didn't take it seriously and continued to sneak glances at the woman.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his butt and was kicked hard.

Silas scolded, "Stop staring! Can't you see Brother Ambrose's expression? Get back to work! Do you want to be buried with her?"

Jayden looked at Ambrose's dark face and had no choice but to turn his head and continue working hard.

As soon as he thought about it, Brother Silas was his own uncle, and he wouldn't really bury him. He couldn't help but steal a glance at the woman.

But just with that one glance, he was startled. The woman actually opened her eyes and stared straight at him!

"Uncle... Brother Silas, the girl woke up!" Everyone turned to look at the woman when they heard this.

"Brother Silas, what should we do?" Jayden asked.

Silas impatiently replied, "What should we do? Bury her!" With that, he stepped forward, grabbed the woman's collar, and threw her into the pit.

The woman was extremely stubborn, gritting her teeth and not saying a word of softness.

She struggled to climb to the edge of the pit with all her might, but was heartlessly kicked back by Brother Silas.

In no time, the pit was filled up and turned into a small mound. Jayden wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky, stretching lazily.

But he found that a helicopter had appeared in the sky at some point.

"Hey, look..."

Everyone followed Jayden's pointing finger. They saw the cabin door open, and a figure stepped out, falling towards the ground like a missile.

Everyone was shocked. Was this person crazy? That was ten thousand meters high!

Wouldn't they fall into a pile of mud like that? But before they could even think about it, the figure had already plunged into the small mound like a bolt of lightning.

Boom!

The whole ground trembled with it.

The figure had smashed a hole in the ground with a diameter of dozens of meters, and the dust raised had obscured the bright sunlight.

Just as everyone was puzzled, the figure that had fallen from the sky emerged unscathed from the smoke and dust, holding the buried woman.

"Salome, wake up, it's me, Lux Arden, I'm here to save you!" Salome's eyes were tightly closed, and there was no sign of life in her body.

Lux Arden frantically took out a silver needle and quickly used the "Return to Heaven Needle" technique.

The powerful aura emanating from his body enveloped the two people tightly. Even the scattered stones around them were shaken and trembling in place.

"Uh..."

After a moment, Salome murmured and woke up. Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

Falling from ten thousand meters high, yet unscathed. Even the dead could be saved.

Is this Lux Arden still human?

He's like a fairy descending to earth!

"Quick, my sister... she was taken away by Smith Kane, go save her." Salome, who had just woken up, didn't care about her own safety and urged him.

Lux Arden nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Just as Lux Arden finished speaking, Salome suddenly turned pale and exclaimed,

"Be careful!"

    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
