"Mom, please don't do this!" Ava hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Ava, you're confused! Have you forgotten how difficult these past three years have been for you?"

"Your father disappeared with a large sum of money, and your grandfather kicked us out of the company in anger. I fell ill and became a medicine jar, while Salome had to continue his studies."

"This family is all supported by you alone. You have to work three jobs a day, but you don't remember how hard life was?" Thinking of Ava's hardships over the years, both Amen and Salome couldn't help but shed tears.

Lux Arden was also heartbroken, looking at Ava with great pity.

"Mom, all of that is in the past. Please put down the knife first."

"You don't care, but I do!" Amelia reproached her daughter with heartache.

"This guy was clearly kicked out by the Monroe family, and now he wants to come to you for a free ride. Unless I die, he will never set foot in our house!" After speaking, Amelia glared at Lux Arden in anger.

"You're a scheming bastard. Do you want me to die in front of you?"

"Mom, please don't be like this. I don't think Lux Arden is that kind of person."

"Yes, Mom, you've misunderstood me. I'm really not what you think." Ava and Lux Arden spoke one after the other, showing great tacit understanding.

Amelia became even more angry when she saw the two of them speaking in unison.

"You said you're not here for a free ride, then what are you? Are you some kind of powerful figure like the Black Dragon Sentinel, coming to our small house to have fun?"

"You said I misunderstood you, and you want to marry Ava, right? Fine, don't say I didn't give you a chance. As long as you can kill the person who harmed Salome, cure her legs, and find the father of her child, then l'll agree!" Ava and Salome frowned as they listened.

Amelia was asking too much of them. Although they also hated those people, it was insane for Lux Arden to go after them alone.

Even if he succeeded, it was illegal and he would end up in jail. As for curing Salome's leg, it was almost impossible.

She had injured her spine, and there was no precedent for a complete recovery anywhere in the world.

And as for their father, Jack Thompson, he had been missing for three years, and it was unlikely that he could be found.

What did their father's disappearance have to do with Lux Arden anyway?

But to everyone's surprise, Lux Arden agreed. "Mom, don't worry, I'll do it!" he said.

"Actually, Salome's injury can be cured with the Reversal Needle technique. It's just that she's too weak to handle it right now. Wait for me to collect the herbs and makei the Body Refining Pill, and she'll be able to walk again soon. As for Dad, it may take some time, but I'll find him!" Amelia was stunned by Lux Arden's words, unable to close her mouth for a long time.

"Hmph! Who can't talk big?" she finally said.

Lux Arden didn't bother to explain further and turned to leave. Ava wanted to catch up with him, but Amelia stopped her and tried to persuade her with tears and reason.

Outside the ward, Lux Arden took out his phone.

"Sage, find out who's behind that loan contract for me. I want to know!" he ordered sternly.

The person on the other end of the phone immediately responded, but it only took a few seconds to find out the information.

"Dragon Commander, that contract belongs to Nullcore Group, and the behind-the-scenes boss is named Elliott Kane. On the surface, they operate a small loan business, but in reality, they are loan sharks."

"We also found out that Nullcore Group has many illegal businesses, such as gambling dens and private clubs. A large part of the underworld is under their control. "

After listening, Lux Arden snorted dissatisfiedly, "It's time for these parasites to disappear. I want to see Nullcore Group completely uprooted by tomorrow morning!"

"As for that Elliott Kane... I will personally meet with him!" Lux Arden's eyes were filled with killing intent, and his cold tone made even Sage on the other end of the phone shiver.

After hanging up the phone, Lux Arden was about to take a step when he saw Wynn the Divine Physician kneel in front of him with a thud.

"Wynn the Divine Physician, what are you doing?" Lux Arden was puzzled.

"Who dares to lick their face and call themselves a divine physician in front of you, sir? Just call me Little Wynn." Wynn the Divine Physician shook his head repeatedly.

Lux Arden felt embarrassed after hearing this. He still preferred the upright and serious Wynn the Divine Physician.

"I, Wynn, am ignorant and foolish. I have offended you, sir. Please forgive me!" After speaking, Wynn knocked his head repeatedly.

"Alright, get up. It's all in the past."

In fact, Lux Arden knew in his heart that Wynn's previous offense against him was not intentional.

On the contrary, he sincerely cared about the patients and was afraid that Ava and the others would be deceived and seek medical treatment from unscrupulous people.

There aren't many people like him nowadays, Lux Arden didn't take this matter to heart.

Instead, he had some admiration for Wynn. When Lux Arden forgave him, Wynn was overjoyed, but he still didn't stand up.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Lux, but there is still one thing I would like to ask," Wynn said.

"Please take me as your disciple and teach me the Nine Palaces Revitalization Needle Technique." Lux Arden finally understood why Wynn's attitude had changed so quickly.

It turned out that he had a request for him. However, this matter of taking on a disciple must be carefully considered.

Besides, he was already so old, following behind a master and a grandmaster, what was the point?

Lux Arden shook his head and refused. Wynn, seeing that Lux Arden did not agree, knocked his head heavily on the ground again.

This attracted many people to come and watch the commotion. "I know my talent is limited and I cannot comprehend the Nine Palaces Revitalization Needle Technique. I beg Mr. Lux to take pity on me and teach me the technique," Wynn said.

The onlookers were all shocked.

Wynn the Divine Physician was famous in Marlowe and was one of the few renowned doctors in Marlowe Kingdom.

Now he was kneeling on the ground, begging a young man to take him as his disciple.

What was even more surprising was that the young man refused to accept him?

Wynn didn't care about the gazes of others and continued to say, "My teacher entrusted me with the task of spreading the Nine Palaces Revitalization Needle Technique to the world before he passed away. I am ashamed to face my teacher's spirit in the sky if I fail to do so. Please, Mr. Lux, show mercy!"

Lux Arden finally understood that Wynn's request for the needle technique was not for his own selfish desires.

He couldn't help but feel moved. This acupuncture technique was created by him, and it was passed down to several military doctors back then.

Wynn should be the disciple of one of them, and he could learn it without any harm.

"Alright, you can get up now. I can teach you this acupuncture technique, but I won't accept you as my disciple." Wynn was overjoyed at the news, and he kowtowed a few more times before standing up happily.

Wynn's eyes lit up as he said, "Mr. Lux, I happen to have a difficult patient to treat today. side?" Could you lend a hand and let me observe on the side." After thinking for a moment, Lux Arden nodded in agreement.

But just as Wynn was overjoyed, a commotion stopped the two of them in their tracks.

"Doctor Wynn, something's wrong, come and take a look!" A group of medical staff pushed a young and beautiful Woman over, running over with great anxiety.

    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

    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

    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
