Hearing Lois' name stunned Mila. A prominent business figure had shown respect to Callen. People started to whisper that Callen had strong connections.

Although the Brooks family was not among the elite families in Avenfall, ever since her husband became a management consultant at Lumira Enterprise, they had slowly built influence in the city. Sooner or later, their family would surely join the ranks of the elites.

She met Lois at a socialite women's event and pretended to be close to her. However, it is clear that Lois never really cared about her, as evidenced by the fact that she never gave her a gift at any point in time. That's why Mila was so shocked when John arrived, only to realize he was not there to help her.

Callen, who did not know the man, asked, "Who are you?"

His response shocked everyone since John was one of the well-known people. But John reacted with a polite bow.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm John Mason, the CEO of this mall. I was instructed by my boss, Lois

    For several seconds, Nash held his breath. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Gavin and Spencer were just as shocked, unable to believe what they saw."W-Was that really Sir Arthur?" Gavin asked, trying to make sure it wasn't some illusion."Y-Yeah, that's really Sir Arthur. H-How could he..." Nash's words stopped as he turned toward where Arthur had been thrown.Several walls were broken through, leaving holes that connected to the next room. At the end of the last hole, Callen stood calmly, still holding Lily safely in his arms."He did that?" Nash muttered, his pupils trembling.He'd always seen Arthur beating others to a pulp, never once losing a fight. This was the first time someone had managed to leave him so battered. Gavin and Spencer were just as stunned when they heard Nash's words. That meant Callen was stronger than they ever imagined. And if he were a criminal, then they would probably be next.Thinking about that, both of them swallowed hard."B-Bu

    The fight went on. Arthur kept attacking while Callen only defended.To ordinary eyes, it appeared that Callen was being pushed back, and Arthur was the one in control. That's precisely what Nash, Arthur's subordinate, thought too.But Arthur was already starting to panic because not a single one of his attacks managed to hurt Callen, not even a scratch.'Damn it! Why isn't he getting hurt?' he cursed in his mind.His breathing had turned heavy, sweat drenched his face, while Callen didn't even look tired. There wasn't a single drop of sweat on him."Do you want me to give you a short break?" Callen offered with a sarcastic tone.Arthur gritted his teeth. "I'll give you a break instead. An eternal one! In your grave!"After saying that, he gathered Rune energy around both fists. The wind blew fiercely around him. This was Arthur's ultimate move. No one had ever survived it. Not even Callen would escape today.Nash recognized that technique and was sure Arthur would win. He didn't feel

    Callen's words made Arthur lose his temper. "How dare you say something so disrespectful about Lieutenant Alfred?!" he hissed sharply.Lieutenant Alfred was someone he deeply respected, a man he looked up to and hoped to surpass one day. Callen's provocative words were enough to make his anger explode."I only said the truth," Callen replied calmly.Arthur clenched his teeth. "Hmph! Truth? What comes out of your filthy mouth is nothing but insults toward the lieutenant! Today, I'll punish you on his behalf!" he shouted.Callen's face remained calm as Arthur walked toward him, releasing killing intent.At that moment, Landon stepped between them. "S-Sir Arthur, this man isn't an ordinary person. Please, control your anger," he warned nervously.He had seen how strong Callen was, so he advised Arthur to back off. He didn't want to witness another bloody scene.Arthur's jaw tightened at those words. "You damn insect! Who do you think you are to block my way?" he growled.Landon's body tr

    "How dare you hit my daughter?"The angry shout mixed with a killing aura made the soldiers' bodies tremble at once. Their legs went weak, and they couldn't support their weight, collapsing to the floor.Only Landon was still standing, though fear covered him, and his whole body was sweating cold. He swallowed with difficulty.In the blink of an eye, Callen suddenly stood beside Lily, who lay on the ground.None of the soldiers dared to move even a little, as they were terrified. They didn't even notice Derrick, who was still screaming in pain with both hands still spurting blood.Callen couldn't hold back a grimace as he saw Lily's condition. He crouched and took his daughter into his arms. Bluish marks showed on her chubby cheek.His trembling hand moved to stroke that cheek gently. His pupils shook with guilt, as he came late and couldn't stop this from happening.He turned to Derrick, who was kneeling on the ground, and at once his killing aura grew thicker than before.Landon and

    Hearing those words, Callen felt panic and worry rising in his chest. In the jeep he rode earlier, he hadn't sensed anyone else inside, which meant Lily was in the other jeep."Ivy, calm down first. I'll find Lily here and bring her home safely," Callen said softly, trying to soothe her."How can you find her when you're being detained?!" Ivy shouted in frustration.He could feel her despair. The memory of Lily's kidnapping by Jade must still haunt her.To calm her further, he said, "I've been proven innocent, Ivy. I'm free now, and I'll look for her right away.""Alright. Then please tell me where you are. I'll come to you.""It's too dangerous for you to come here," Callen replied with concern. He remembered on his way here that several guards were stationed around the area.They were probably Lois's personal guards, since all of them were strong. Some are even stronger than Spencer. He worried Ivy would get caught in danger if she insisted on coming."I don't care how dangerous it

    Spencer's expression twisted in anger. When he saw Lois lying unconscious on the floor, the torture tool in his hand slipped and fell.His eyes scanned the room's wreckage. Bookshelves toppled over, shards of glass were scattered, and a broken sofa lay on the floor.Judging from the scene, he believed a fierce fight had taken place here."Do you know the consequence of hurting a member of the Jaxquel family?" Spencer demanded, his breathing heavy.He was both furious and anxious, afraid he'd be blamed for not preventing the incident."She fainted on her own," Callen said casually.Spencer wanted to punch him right then, but he had to make sure Lois was alright first. So he rushed to her side.He checked her pulse and breath. Everything was normal. There were no visible injuries on her vital areas, which made him sigh in relief.Lifting her carefully, he placed Lois on the long sofa. His eyes then turned to Callen."What did you do to Miss Lois to make her faint?" he asked sharply.Cal
