Before Eden could react, someone had already thrown their arms around her.She looked up to see Ryan’s face, which seemed to be begging for a beating."Why didn’t you tell me you were in Rielton? You didn’t even reply when I asked which room you were in. You've become so heartless, Griffy... You’ve changed," Ryan complained, draped lazily around Eden’s neck.Alain’s face darkened immediately. He grabbed Ryan by the collar and threw him to the side, his anger palpable as his voice sent chills down one’s spine. "Get lost!"Ryan, who was not paying any attention to Alain, was tossed a few meters away and instantly flared up. "What’s your problem? You want to fight?"Alain shot him a cold glare and kicked him. Ryan, his blood boiling, spat out, "You’re dead!"Ryan lunged at Alain.Eden rubbed her forehead, at a loss for words.Caelus, watching Alain and Ryan fight, frowned and asked, "Should we stop them, Ms. Griffith?"He was aligned with Alain, but he knew Ryan was a close frien

Ryan’s confidence faltered.His eyes darted everywhere except toward Eden."Investigate me, huh?" Alain raised an eyebrow, a cold glint in his eyes as he approached Ryan.Ryan could only watch in silence.What bad luck!And now he had made another person upset!Ryan gave an awkward smile. "You can't blame everything on me, right? Besides, if it weren’t for me, would you have built such a great relationship? Would you have been able to find a prodigious wife like Eden, senior? Or would you have found a handsome, rich boyfriend who dotes on you, Griffy?"Alain’s expression softened a bit. True, if Ryan hadn’t investigated him for Eden, he might never have met her.Eden, with a roguish smile, said, "So, I should thank you?""You don’t have to," Ryan replied, leaning in and whispering with a grin, "Just buy me dinner.""I’ll give you a punch."Eden immediately threw a punch at Ryan."Whoa!" Ryan dodged the attack.He didn’t dare to fight Eden, so he just kept dodging.But Ede

The men in black exchanged uneasy glances before focusing their attention on Alain, remaining on high alert and saying nothing.Alain's eyes narrowed. "You won’t talk? Then there's no need to leave your bodies intact."With that, he vanished from their sight. Before they could react, they all fell to the ground with their limbs severed. They were still alive, but their limbs had been cut off. Alain intended for them to watch themselves bleed out slowly, ensuring no part of their bodies remained whole.From inside the car, Eden turned away.Alain was incredibly strong, with a level of specialized training that made his techniques lethal, even if they weren’t meant to outright kill. His methods were brutally efficient.Eden thought she was quite brutal in her methods, but she was nothing compared to Alain. At least she would leave her victims with their bodies intact.Caelus watched Alain with admiration and excitement. Alain was just as formidable as ever, maybe even more so.Jus

Eden was getting increasingly frustrated with the chaos unfolding before her.Seeing that Caelus was being pushed back, she rolled down the car window and called out, "This way, Caelus."Caelus quickly moved back to the car. "Ms. Griffith."Eden took out a needle and gave Caelus a quick prick. After removing the needle, she instructed, "Go."Caelus felt a surge of energy return to him, transforming him into a relentless force.Despite that, the situation was spiraling out of control. The sheer number of enemies and their guns were gradually overwhelming Alain.Caelus, reinvigorated by Eden's needle, was holding his own against the two hundred opponents without feeling the drain on his stamina.Eden wasn’t concerned about Caelus. Her main worry was Alain.She disliked wasting time. Usually, in a situation like this, she would use her needles to immobilize the enemies and end the fight quickly.There was no reason for Alain to intervene today. Eden had enough needles to handle t

Everyone except Alain and Caelus gasped.Everything the Wheeler family owned? How could she possibly think she could claim it all?The Wheeler family had been around for centuries. They were powerful enough to survive through changing times and shifting empires. Though they chose to stay hidden, their reputation was immense.If one were to put a value on everything the Wheeler family possessed, it would certainly exceed 500 trillion dollars. And this young woman wanted it all.Terry’s eyes narrowed, and he said nothing for a moment. After a long pause, he asked, "Is there any room for negotiation?""There is," Eden replied coldly.Terry let out a sigh of relief, but before he could finish, Eden added, "Let the person you want to save wait for Death's arrival!"Terry was speechless.Eden stood there, her expression as cold as ever, but her presence was undeniably imposing.Alain could tell she was genuinely angry.He had always thought Eden was a cold person. She treated other

Cain mentioned that if someone with enough medical skills and talent use the Celestial Herb for research, they might be able to develop the recipe for the Hundred-Cure Elixir.The Hundred-Cure Elixir would purify anyone of all toxins.Only one person had ever successfully created a Hundred-Cure Elixir, and he had disappeared years ago. It was rumored that he had figured out the recipe using the Celestial Herb.Terry suspected Eden had some medical expertise, but he wasn’t sure. However, Cain confirmed that she was not only skilled but exceptionally talented.If Eden was truly a skilled medical practitioner, Terry didn’t want to make her an enemy.That’s why he chose to help Alain.When he spoke to Eden, he tried to drop some blood from his right arm on her, but she simply dodged it, her expression darkening.Terry was sure that Eden had medical skills. However, his actions had offended her greatly. Not only did she want everything the Wheelers owned, but she also demanded his ri

Caelus called the Parkers and drove over right away.Skylar hung up and instructed the household staff to prepare for their guests. He then personally went to the gate.Half an hour later, Caelus’ car arrived outside the Parker residence.Skylar hurried over and respectfully greeted, "Mr. Alain, Ms. Griffith."Alain nodded, but Eden, growing impatient, said coldly, "Take me to see the patient, now.""Of course," Skylar replied, not wasting any time. He immediately led them inside.After a few steps, Eden suddenly stopped and turned to Alain, "All of you should wait for me outside."Alain glanced at her, a meaningful gleam in his eyes. After a moment, he nodded. "Sure.""Mr. Ward, I’ve prepared some tea for you. Please wait for us in the main hall for a little while." Skylar then asked a staff member to escort Alain and Caelus to the main hall, while he personally led Eden to his father’s room.The Parker residence wasn’t built with modernity in mind; it was a classical manor w

Eden gave Lucian a look and slowly said, "His student."Skylar was momentarily stunned, then smiled. "I knew it. Even though he said he’d give up, he never would. He never took in any students, but if he accepted you, he must have taught you everything you know?""I suppose," Eden replied calmly."Good," Lucian said, pulling a small box from under his pillow. "Since you're here, could you please pass this to Noah? I have little time left, and I don’t think I’ll be able to see him again. Tell him this is what Sierra left after he went away."Eden raised an eyebrow. Sierra?That was a woman Lucian had often mentioned."Sierra never stopped searching for him all these years he was gone," Lucian sighed. "She said she’d never go home until she found him. If she never did, she told me to bury this. She would consider her love dead along with it."When Eden remained silent, Lucian added, "You probably didn’t know this, but Sierra is my little sister. She and Noah were in love, but beca

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

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

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
