"What's going on?" Wynn hurriedly asked.

But when Wynn saw the woman lying on the stretcher, checked her pulse, and saw her appearance, even he couldn't help but be shocked, despite his usually calm demeanor.

"Wynn? How could this be?" Seeing Wynn's panicked expression, Lux Arden curiously approached and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wynn explained, "Mr. Lux Arden, this young lady is the granddaughter of the strange patient I mentioned to you earlier. She is Miss Dora, the young lady of the Blackwood family."

"I didn't expect her to have the same strange illness as her grandfather. I have carefully treated this illness before, and the patient, apart from being extremely weak, has no other symptoms. It shouldn't be contagious."

"And I have treated her grandfather, Mr. Blackwood, several times with countless precious herbs, but none of them have had any effect. It's very strange." Lux Arden glanced at the beautiful figure lying on the stretcher.

Seeing Dora frowning in pain, he said, "This is not a disease at all, it's caused by evil energy!"

"Evil energy?!" The medical staff around them all looked strange after hearing this.

They were about to scold Lux Arden for being superstitious, but were surprised to see Wynn bowing respectfully to Lux Arden, like a student seeking advice.

"Please teach me, sir, what method can be used to dispell this evil energy?" Although Wynn had never heard of such a mysterious thing as evil energy before.

However, after witnessing Lux Arden's abilities, he naturally believed every word Lux Arden said.

But instead of answering him directly, Lux Arden started to search his body.

Wynn thought that Lux Arden was looking for silver needles, intending to use the Nine Palaces Revival Technique or some other acupuncture technique.

His face was filled with excitement and anticipation. Unexpectedly, Lux took out a small black pill from his pocket, much to Wynn's confusion.

"Sir... what is this?" Wynn asked.

"This is the Breaking Evil Pill, specialized in treating any evil entering the body," Lux Arden threw the Breaking Evil Pill to Wynn and said, "I have something else to attend to, the rest is up to you."

After speaking, he walked towards the door without looking back.

Wynn looked down at the pill in his hand, slightly stunned, and then looked up to ask, "Sir, where are you going?"

But he found that Lux Arden's figure had already disappeared, and only an extremely cold sentence echoed in his ears.

"To kill."

In front of Nullcore Group's building.

After a brief exchange with Sage, Lux Arden got out of the car alone.

Several burly security guards were chatting at the entrance of the building.

When they saw Lux Arden approaching, the largest and most muscular one walked over and stopped him.

"Stop, what's your business here?"

"Gift delivery," Lux Arden said calmly.

The muscular security guard looked Lux Arden up and down, showing a disdainful expression and said,"You, with your shabby appearance, are also worthy of giving gifts to our boss? Get lost!"

Lux Arden didn't get angry, but instead looked at him and asked, "You look strong, how much do you weigh?" The security guard was confused and answered subconsciously, "230 pounds. Why do you ask?"

Lux Arden still didn't answer, but a smirk appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, "It's just right to use it as a gift..."

In the chairman's office.

Birds chirped and smoke filled the air. Several tough-looking men with tattoos lounged on the sofa, fondling the woman in their arms.

Chairman Elliott Kane smoked a cigar and flipped through last month's financial report.

Today was the day for the group's accounting, and those present were the heads of the subsidiary Companies.

One bald and muscular man had been secretly observing Elliott's expression.

When he saw that Elliott Kane's face had become somewhat unpleasant, he immediately came forward to please him.

"Chairman Elliott, look at what I've prepared for you!" The bald and muscular man picked up his carry-on suitcase and respectfully placed it in front of Elliott Kane.

"Chairman Elliott, take a look at this pure gold Buddha statue. It was carved in your likeness. I heard that Mr. Nathan will be back today, so I also prepared one for him." Elliott Kane became interested when he heard the bald man's words.

He put down the financial report in his hand and played with the golden Buddha statue in front of him.

He looked at the lifelike golden Buddha statue and raised his eyebrows, seeming quite satisfied.

"Not bad, I'll accept it on behalf of Nathan. As for the one for Elliott, I'll take it first." Elliott Kane praised lightly, and the bald man immediately became overjoyed.

"Baldy, you're too unscrupulous. You didn't even get two golden women for the boss!" A thin and sullen-faced man stood up and teased.

"Director Damien, let me show you what I've prepared for you!" The sullen-faced man clapped his hands and immediately a big man dragged in two young women and threw them on the ground.

Everyone in the room turned their attention to them. The two women were fair-skinned, beautiful, and had a fiery figure, far more attractive than the women in the arms of the big shots.

What's more, the two women were twins, and there was no difference between them.

At this sight, everyone couldn't help but feel dry in their throats, dizzy, and hot all over.

"Director Damien, these two are still young." The sullen-faced man grinned and took credit.

Elliott's eyes lit up at the words. "Maddox, well done, you have a good heart." Maddox nodded and flattered him.

He had put a lot of effort into these two sisters. Now that he had shown his face in front of Elliott Kane, his position was completely stable this time.

Elliott Kane ignored Maddox and waved to the twin sisters.

"Come here."

The two sisters stood uptremblingly and walked to Elliott Kane.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a cannibal." Elliott Kane smiled gently.

The two sisters looked at each other and knelt down with a thump.

"Mr. Elliott, please spare us. We will repay you by being your servants in the next life," the two sisters begged, hugging each other and crying uncontrollably.

The constant sobbing was making some of the big shots uncomfortable, and they frowned.

"Oh? Alright then. l'll let you go," said Elliott Kane.

The sisters couldn't believe their ears and looked at each other in disbelief.

"Go on, I've already promised you. Why aren't you leaving?" Elliott Kane urged. The sisters then realized that he was serious and helped each other up before running away.

However, they didn't notice that Elliott Kane had taken out a golf club and swung it towards the older sister's legs.

Crack!

After a muffled sound, the older sister fell to the ground, holding her injured leg and crying in pain.

"Get up and keep running," Elliott Kane urged in a gentle tone.

But his cold smile sent shivers down their spines.

    Several of Joyce's companions joined in with sneers, looking down at Salome with unfriendly eyes. At this moment, Suzzy curiously asked Salome,"Salome, is she an acquaintance of yours?" Salome reluctantly suppressed his displeasure and replied, "Yes, she's a college classmate of mine, in the same major. It's been a long time since we last met." "But it seems like she's not very friendly towards you. Do you have any grudges between you?" Suzzy asked further. Salome hesitated for a moment and replied, "Not really, we just had some competition during the major evaluation in college. She lost to me a few times and was a bit resentful." "l just didn't expect that after all these years, she still holds a grudge." When Suzzy heard this, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face became even more intense and inexplicable. "Okay, the interview is about to begin. You shouldn't chat here anymore. Go and prepare." Suzzy clapped her hands and dispersed the crowd a

    Ava was so angry that she couldn't do anything about Amelia's unreasonable behavior. She knew that no matter what, Amelia wouldn't return the card to Lux Arden today, so she didn't bother to pay attention to Amelia anymore. She took Lux Arden's hand and entered her room, slamming the door shut. Amelia was So anxious when she saw that Ava was alone with Lux Arden in the room that she started to panic. However, no matter how loudly she shouted outside the door, Ava refused to open it. Amelia was so angry that she almost went crazy and fell to the ground, rolling around. But after making a scene for a while, Amelia realized that it was useless since Ava remained unmoved. She got up from the ground and her eyes darted around as she thought that although she couldn't do anything to Ava, it was easy to deal with Lux Arden. So she shouted at Lux Arden outside the door, "Lux Arden, let me tell you, don't mess around! If you dare to touch Ava, I will kick you out of t

    Lux Arden felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard Ava's concern for his safety. However, to avoid worrying her too much and being blamed for his recklessness after knowing the truth, he decided to lie. "Oh, I was just eager to help save Salome. When the fire brigade arrived, I went to help move the fire equipment. The fire is almost extinguished now, so they didn't need me anymore, and that's why l came back." Ava let out a long sigh, pinched Lux Arden's sleeve that had been burned black, dusted off the smoke on his hair, and relaxed her expression. "You really scared me. I thought you went into the fire alone to save Salome. Do you know how worried I was? I was afraid you wouldn't come back." "Fortunately, Sentinel God King appeared and saved Salome. Now that you're back safely, it's a close call, and I can finally relax a bit." Lux Arden frowned at the mention of "Sentinel God King." He didn't expect everyone to give him such a title. However, he didn't care to

    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
