"Help?" Kyle immediately punched Darren. "If you don’t tell me everything right now, I’m going to tear you apart, you bastard!"Under Boss Griffith's orders, no one was allowed to have any fun.When they took over Estburg, they had already seized all the guns from those who surrendered.And now the Aradias wanted to use those guns to commit murder?Forget about how Boss Griffith would deal with the Aradias. Darren would lose his life first."Well… Boss Solus bought it from an arms dealer in Springburg. It has nothing to do with us!" Darren groaned in pain on the ground after taking a couple of hits from Kyle."The Aradias, huh?"Kyle narrowed his eyes and ordered his men, "Eliminate them all! We’re wiping the Aradias out today!""No!" Darren pleaded from the ground. "Boss Kyle, we’ve been supporting Boss Griffith all this time! Why are you turning on us without any reason?""Without any reason?" Kyle glared at him coldly. "You messed with someone you shouldn’t have. Wiping you
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 140
Meanwhile, a luxury car was speeding down the highway from Springburg to Estburg.Trailing behind it were dozens of black cars, all accelerating in pursuit.In one of the black cars, a man aimed his gun through the open window at the luxury car in front. The bullet struck the luxury car, causing it to tremble.Fortunately, the luxury car was equipped with strong anti-ballistic plating, keeping the passengers inside safe."Damn it!" Horace slammed his hand on the steering wheel after checking the rear-view mirror, accelerating even faster.He dodged the cars behind him and glanced at the back seat. "Sulien, how’s Alain? Can he make it to Estburg?"Sulien responded seriously, "I can't guarantee it. He has four gunshot wounds, and the toxin inside him is worsening. He won’t last much longer!""Do something!" Horace roared, his anger flaring.They hadn’t anticipated running into their old enemies while on a business trip to Springburg. They managed to avoid their pursuers, but Alai

Sulien’s expression also darkened. "Why don’t you check with Boss Griffith first? What if he’s willing to see us? We’re not nobodies either. Given that Boss Griffith has just taken over Estburg, I’m sure he wouldn’t want to make more enemies."Sulien waved his hand and added, "If Boss Griffith is willing to help us with our pursuers, the Rielton’s Ward and Brooks family will owe him one."“The Wards? The Brooks?” The man’s eyes narrowed as he seemed to consider this.He usually didn’t pay much attention to these families, but he remembered hearing that they were quite influential.Horace had only mentioned the Brooks earlier, so that hadn’t registered with him.But now?He needed to inform Boss Griffith immediately.“Wait a moment, I’ll send someone to check…”Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out in the distance.Horace quickly moved aside, narrowly dodging a bullet that flew toward him from behind.They were outnumbered by at least three to one!As Horace

Club Obsidian?Caelus looked at Eden in shock. "Are you sure?"Club Obsidian was Boss Griffith's territory. Why was she heading there?Eden raised an eyebrow and shot him a cold look. "Is there a problem?"Her gaze was so piercing that Caelus felt a chill down his spine. He quickly turned away and said, "None. I'll take you there right now."As they drove, Caelus occasionally glanced at Eden in the back seat. She said nothing and was surrounded by a cold aura.He had never seen Eden like this before.The car arrived at Club Obsidian.Eden got out and said coldly, "Wait for me downstairs.""Ms. G—"Caelus wanted to tell Eden that she needed an invitation to enter Club Obsidian. But she simply walked inside, and the guards didn’t even try to stop her.Caelus watched in disbelief.Who was she, exactly?How could she enter Club Obsidian so freely?The club was notoriously strict. Even Alain needed the owner's permission to enter. How did she do it?Eden entered the club, hea

What Jonathan didn’t know was that ever since Eden and Alain got together, she had become less and less violent.Violence no longer held much meaning for her.As long as no one threatened her, she wouldn’t get into trouble herself. But the Aradias had crossed the line.They would pay the price for that.Eden had just reached the door when it swung open. A subordinate entered and, seeing Eden, immediately approached her. "Boss, there are two people here who want to see you.""Who are they?" Eden asked, surprised.It was unusual for people to come looking for her here."I don’t know their names, but one of them is severely injured and unconscious. They’re here for your help. It looks like they are being pursued and made it to Estburg," the subordinate replied.Eden was silent for a moment before saying, "Since they’re here, protect them. Get them to the hospital and make sure they get home safely.""Understood." The subordinate nodded and headed downstairs.Eden decided not to

Before Sulien could even finish speaking, Eden had already dashed off and vanished into the distance.Sulien stared at the spot where Eden had disappeared, bewildered. What had just happened? A figure had vanished right in front of him.When Jonathan, who had come down after Eden, heard Sulien's report, he quickly ordered his subordinates, shock evident on his face, "Quick! Reinforce the entrance!"As Sulien watched everyone rush off, he was left unsure of what to do. What about Alain? Should they still go to the hospital?As he was hesitating, Eden returned and said, "Get him to the hospital. Don’t touch the needles. Operate on him and remove the bullets. I'll handle everything else."Eden realized she was overwhelmed with worry. It was at least twenty minutes to the entrance. No matter how fast she was, she couldn’t get there faster than the car.She couldn’t find Caelus. After giving him a call, she found out that he had parked the car in the lot. With Sulien’s intelligence, t

When Horace saw what happened, he gulped. Eden was already as skilled as Alain in combat.When Alain was at his peak, five hundred enemies wouldn’t have been a challenge.But the thing was…Eden was a woman!A nineteen-year-old woman!How could she be so powerful?Horace was still in shock when Jonathan finally arrived with his men. Jonathan barely blinked at the sight of the people lying on the ground. He approached Eden calmly and asked, "How should we deal with the survivors, boss?"As Eden’s second-in-command, Jonathan was well aware that Eden had personally incapacitated them, rendering their arms and legs useless. It was a common punishment she handed out.Thanks to her medical expertise, Eden was extremely knowledgeable about human anatomy. She could kill someone without them even realizing it.However, Eden would normally not kill. She had once explained to Jonathan that her mentor had taught her to use her skills to save lives and only take lives when absolutely neces
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 146
Normally, Eden didn’t have to personally handle what was happening at the entrance of the city.However, when she heard that Alain was severely injured because of the pursuit, something inside her snapped. Her fury burst forth.She wanted to avenge Alain. She wanted them all to suffer a fate worse than death.Eden’s movements were very light. Although anesthetic was already applied, she still worked gently, as if worried it might hurt him.After Eden had finished the stitching, she asked the other doctors to leave, having only Sulien stay behind."Ever trained in traditional medicine?" Eden asked after getting out of her scrubs."Not formally, but I have read books on traditional medicine," Sulien said obediently, completely impressed by her.Eden nodded. "I’ll teach you a needling technique. You do it."The needling technique was very risky, so Eden should be the one doing it.However, it required a lot of stamina to perform. After what happened that day, Eden didn’t have the

Eden had never seen this scarlet rock before. It looked like it had been scorched red by fire, but it felt cold to the touch.She was immediately drawn to it, even though she didn’t think much of it as she picked it up.At first, she thought it might be something unpleasant. But as soon as she touched the rock, a surge of limitless energy flowed into her body, making her realize that her power had reached a new level.Alain finally snapped back to reality, pulling Eden into his arms and patting her head. His voice was rough as he said, “Can you please avoid doing things that make me worry like this?”Eden was taken aback. She had only picked up a rock. What was he so worried about?Then she realized that Alain and Horace had probably seen the mist enter her body.“Alright. I’ll let you know what I’m doing next time.”Only then did Alain seem to relax.He looked at the rock in Eden’s hand and said, “This is called a Styx Rock. An old man gave it to me a few years ago after I sav

The last time Horace was kidnapped, Eden did everything she could to save him.Caelus had been with her for a long time and followed her every command. She wouldn’t just let him die.The two of them had just left the entrance when Horace came rushing over.“I heard Eden is awake. Let me see her!”Horace had been outside organizing the search for the murderer. When he heard Eden was awake, he left everything and came straight over.He treated Eden like a younger sister, so of course, he wanted to visit her now that she was awake.“Yes, I’m awake,” Eden said with a gentle glance at Horace. Then, she gave a slow, meaningful smile as she curled her lips. “I’m going to save Caelus. Come with me.”Horace suddenly shuddered.She turned to Alain. “What’s with her? Why did she smile so frighteningly?”Alain didn’t respond and got into the car.Horace followed them without delay.Caelus had been in the ice coffin for three days, and his body was already starting to deteriorate.Eden

Eden had just walked out of the room when Sinead arrived.“You’re finally awake. I’ve been so worried about you,” Sinead said, taking Eden’s hand. She then checked Eden’s forehead and pinched her face. Once she was sure Eden didn’t have a fever, she finally relaxed.“I’m really sorry for making you worry,” Eden said, her usual shyness showing.“No need to apologize,” Sinead replied. “If it weren’t for you trying to save us, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt so badly. I’ve been feeling guilty about it, so don’t say anything that’ll make me feel worse, okay?”Sinead glanced around at the nurses in the villa, knowing Alain had recruited them recently. “I know these nurses have been carefully selected, but they can’t compare to me taking care of you myself. Why don’t you come back with me? I’ll look after you personally and make sure you get all the nourishment you need.”“Alright,” Eden agreed immediately.Alain, who was behind Eden, could only watch silently.It seemed he had definite

“I… I wouldn’t dare,” the young nurse said, taking a few steps back, visibly trembling.Eden looked up at her. It was clear that the nurse was frightened, though she was trying to hide it.“What’s your name?” Eden asked as she ate the oats, which tasted fresh and just right.“My… My name is Gem. Gem Scarlet,” the nurse replied, her eyes fixed on the floor, avoiding Eden’s gaze.“How old are you?” Eden inquired. Though she was only slightly older than Gem, she exuded a calm, dependable demeanor.“Eighteen,” Gem answered quietly.Eden stroked her chin, observing Gem. “Do you stutter?”“Huh?” Gem looked up in surprise. “No.”Eden continued eating. “Are you afraid of me?”Gem seemed too stunned to stutter anymore and nodded instinctively. “Yes.”But she quickly corrected herself. “No… I… I’m not afraid of you…”Gem’s eyes filled with tears, and she struggled to hold them back.She bit her lip and, with her head lowered, explained, “It’s… It’s Mr. Brooks. He said you have a bad

Even though Hades was known as the king of all Banevermins, it wasn’t always active. Once the person implanted with Hades had consumed enough blood, Hades would fall into a deep slumber.He had just committed several murders, which meant that Hades had been fully fed and wouldn’t be triggered again anytime soon.Eden figured the reason for his sudden activity was that he was searching for a safer place to hide.“The Johnsons?” Liam repeated thoughtfully. “Since Alain is investigating them, and so are you, did they really do something they’re trying to keep hidden from outsiders?”Eden considered this and then decided to share the truth with Liam. “Have you ever heard of the Shamblers?”“Shamblers? One of the kids at the Agency was reading a horror novel a few days ago, and I overheard them mention it…” Liam said, pausing as he stood up suddenly. “Wait, are you saying the things in those novels are real?”Eden thought about it and nodded slightly. “Not entirely, but it’s not too f
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 349
Liam was genuinely impressed with Eden’s progress.If his own children had achieved as much, he’d be able to die happy.Eden, however, had a headache.She already knew about it.When Alain told Horace, she was in the same room and overheard it. She was unsure whether to tell Alain or not, wondering if he could accept the world she was part of.The world where the war would take place.After thinking it over, she finally said, “I’ll take it.”“Alright, I’ll send the reply.”Just before hanging up, Liam remembered something. “You’re in Estburg finishing your senior year, right? Almost ready to graduate?”“Yeah.”“With how smart you are, I’m sure you’ll have no trouble getting into a good university. Have you thought about studying in Rielton? We could grab coffee when we’re both free.”Eden replied indifferently, “The Agency must have a lot of free time these days, huh?”“Well, not exactly. I’m working on something pretty complicated and staying busy, but I’m making time to c

Eden massaged her head, glancing at all the nurses surrounding her.They watched her anxiously, afraid they might upset her.“All of you can leave. I don’t need everyone here,” she said, irritated by the crowd.As soon as the nurses heard her, they began to cry. “Did we do something wrong? Tell us and we’ll fix it. Please don’t fire us!”"That's right. Mr. Ward warned us that if we make you unhappy, he’ll kill us.”“We don’t want to die; please let us stay.”Eden froze, then muttered under her breath, “Darn it.”Was Alain out of his mind?Since when did he become so ruthless?Eden lowered her gaze, feeling the tension rise in the room. She glanced at the nurses, who were now kneeling in front of her, sobbing.Frustrated by the crowd, she said, “Just go. Alain won’t kill you.”Turning to Sulien, she instructed, “Pay them five times their salary and send them away.”Sulien, once obedient only to Alain, now followed Eden’s lead. Without hesitation, he paid the nurses as she as

Alain rarely mobilized his organization, and it was even more unusual for him to take a personal interest in anything. But Sinead knew it was serious if he had to step in himself.She remembered the call she had received from the Gardner family earlier, and a sense of unease settled over her.Could the person Alain and Horace were talking about be connected to that?If so, Rielton would become a living hell.The moment Sinead realized this, she quickly pulled out her phone and dialed a number as she walked outside. "I need your help."Three days later, at Pear Garden.Eden woke up shortly after Alain had left.As she opened her eyes, a young woman stood in front of her, staring at her.After a moment, the young woman excitedly exclaimed, "Ms. Griffith is awake, Dr. Sulien. Look!"She had barely finished speaking when dozens of people rushed into the room. Eden instantly frowned.She had only been unconscious for a little while. What... happened?Where did all these people co
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 346
Alain arrived just after the rest of the Ward family had left."Why are you here? Is Eden awake?" Sinead asked. She wanted to stay in Pear Garden to take care of Alain and Eden, but with the Ward family pressuring her for answers, she returned to the family residence to handle them first.They had just left when Alain arrived, and she thought Eden might have already woken up."She's still unconscious," Alain replied, unbuttoning the top button of his blazer as he sat down. "I’m here to see grandpa, and then I’ll head to the company."Sinead nodded. "He just woke up. Your uncles were here, arguing with me. He thinks it’s too noisy and doesn’t want anyone disturbing him, so don’t go in for now.""Got it," Alain said, lighting a cigarette. "Can you go stay with Ed in Pear Garden?""Alright."Sinead didn’t say much, grabbed her purse, and left.She had just reached the entrance when Horace rushed in. Without even greeting her, he hurried to Alain."Alain, he’s shown up again."Ho
