Ewan blinked. Did he hear that right?The chief wanted him to take on the huge, bulky bodyguards?With his build?He’d probably be flattened by them.“It’s still the mourning period for Eden, so she can’t get into a fight,” Joy whispered to Ewan. “She’s always been kind to you… Now’s the time to repay that kindness.”Ewan considered it, gritted his teeth, and charged at the bodyguards with his fists ready.He threw a punch at one of the bodyguards with all his strength.But the bodyguard just stood there, taking the hit without moving a muscle.Ewan blinked.He looked at his fist.Then at the bodyguard.When did his punches get so strong?Could he really become the boss just with his fists?Ewan threw another punch, but the bodyguard remained unmoved.Ha!Ewan laughed and attacked the other bodyguards, leaving bruises on their faces. Yet, they still didn’t budge.Daphne, seeing what was happening, felt her anger boiling. “You idiots! I told you to beat them up, not to g

The Physics Research Institute wasn’t too far from Rielton’s city center. Although it was already evening, thanks to the Taylor family’s influence, getting into the institute wasn’t difficult.The head butler of the Taylor family arrived with his squad of bodyguards.When Daphne saw him, she quickly pointed at Eden and said, “That’s her, Mr. Taylor! Capture her!”Mr. Taylor looked at Eden; she looked familiar, but he couldn’t quite place her.Since he couldn’t remember where he had seen Eden before, he asked, “Are you the one who’s been causing trouble for Ms. Daphne?”Eden ignored him and said to Ewan, “If you’re tired, take a break. There’s going to be round two.”Ewan immediately stopped, obeying Eden’s command.“Anyone who bullies Ms. Daphne will have to pay the price, no matter who they are,” Mr. Taylor said, his irritation growing as Eden continued to ignore him. “You can choose to either lose an arm or a leg.”Daphne added, “Or you could have your face scarred.”“What i

Mr. Taylor’s expression shifted instantly. No wonder Eden seemed familiar to him—she was Alain’s fiancée after all.Everyone at the Parkers' auction that night had witnessed how much Alain doted on her.If the Taylors offended the Wards, it would be hard for them to keep their standing in Rielton.After a quick moment of thought, he gave a slight bow. “My apologies, Ms. Griffith. I should have been more aware of whom I was speaking to. What happened today is a misunderstanding. I hope you can forgive us for it.“My employer will personally visit the Ward family to ask for your forgiveness.”Eden slipped her hands into her pockets, her face devoid of expression. “The Wards and I are two separate entities.”Mr. Taylor was stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality. “Understood. Then we will go to the Hunt family.”Eden said nothing more.With that, Mr. Taylor led Daphne and the others away.“What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Taylor? I called you here to help me, not to r

Alain stayed silent for a moment before a smile appeared on his face. “My personal villa, the Pear Garden.”As soon as he said that, Eden pushed him into the car. “Drive.”He reached for a thermos flask and took a sip of warm water from it. Eden turned to him and asked, “You’re done with everything?”Alain had bought the thermos flask just for Eden, keeping it in the car so that there would always be hot water when she needed it.“No,” Alain held her hand gently. “This time, it’s pretty complicated. It won’t be over so quickly.”After a brief pause, he added, “I probably won’t be able to spend time with you in the morning, but I’ll try in the evening. I’ll be in Rielton for about ten days.”“You’re leaving?” Eden asked, lowering her eyes as she put the cover back on the thermos flask.She realized she had not seen Alain this busy ever since they met.“Yes, I need to go to the Median Continent. There's something I need to take care of, but…” Alain massaged her head, sighing. “Yo
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 328
For the next few days, Eden and Alain were both occupied with their own work.Alain was busy handling the murder cases and investigating the entomancers.Eden was focused on discussing physics research with the professors at the research institute.Although Eden said she would move to Pear Garden, someone reported to the professors that a person had been leaving late at night alone. As a result, the institute increased security and prohibited anyone from entering or leaving after hours.Even though this wasn’t enough to stop Eden, she didn’t feel the need to leave either.She spent the next few days staying inside the research institute.Then, the test for the semi-finals began.This time, each of the ten continents sent a renowned physician to set the test questions, making the competition extremely difficult by international standards.After the written test, half of the students had their heads hung low.Even fewer smiled after completing the laboratory test.Once the lab

“Ms. Griffith, Mr. and Mrs. Ward are already on their way, but they refuse to let Alain go,” Caelus said, waiting at the entrance of the research institute.He knew Eden wouldn’t leave Alain to his fate.Wasting no time, Caelus opened the car door for Eden and added, “Sulien is treating the boss right now, but it’s not going well. You need to take a look.”Eden lowered her head in silence, her mood heavy.Caelus, knowing her temperament, didn’t say much. He drove in quiet understanding.After half an hour, the car pulled up in front of a grand villa—the Johnson family residence.Caelus led Eden into a living room, where they were met with the sound of shouting. “Geoffrey, your son raped my daughter! Not only do you refuse to admit it, you’re trying to pin the blame on me? Let me warn you, if you don’t give us a proper explanation, the Johnson family will do everything in its power to destroy you.“And so what if the Ward family is the most powerful of the four prominent families

Eden ignored Helena and the others, then closed the door behind her.Inside the room, Alain lay in a deep sleep, drenched in sweat. His left arm was in bandages, and he was clearly in bad shape.Sulien, uncertain of what to do, stood up quickly when he saw Eden enter. “Come take a look, Ms. Griffith,” he said.Eden walked over to Alain’s side, checked his pulse, then unbuttoned his collar. Her eyebrows furrowed instantly.Without delay, she pulled her hand back, scribbled the names of a few ingredients, and handed the prescription to Sulien. “Get the medicine ready,” she instructed.Sulien immediately passed it to Caelus and returned to the room after it had been prepared.Looking at Alain with concern, Sulien asked, “What kind of aphrodisiac is this? How is it so strong?”“A special kind. It’s not sold on the market,” Eden replied, her voice cold. Sulien shuddered instinctively.Eden lowered her eyes and gazed at Alain, feeling a strange emotion stir within her.Despite the d

Eden massaged her forehead and calmly asked, “Where’s Quin?”“Ms. Vivian took her back to her room,” Caelus replied.Eden nodded and stood up immediately. “Take Alain back.”With Eden here, Caelus felt like it was Alain himself giving the order. He quickly hoisted Alain onto his back and followed Eden out of the room.Outside, Vivian saw Caelus carrying Alain and hurried to block him. “Where are you taking him? This isn’t over yet.”Caelus, who had always disliked the Johnson family—especially after they trapped Alain—replied darkly, “The Johnson household knows exactly what happened today. Once Mr. Alain wakes up, he’ll settle the score with you. If you try to stop me, I won’t bother with this facade of respect any longer.”“I see!” Vivian shouted angrily. “Looks like your family is determined to be our enemies. Fine, let’s see if you can walk out of the gates today.”She didn’t hesitate. “Men! Block all exits. Kill anyone who tries to leave.”Aside from Geoffrey and Sinead, e

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
