“No! Don't touch me!”

“Help! Help!!!”

“Ah—"

Cries and screams sounded together! Harmonia and Hector followed the sound and rushed into the alley. They then saw Penny, who was vulnerable and helpless, being dragged out from the corner by a pair of rough hands!

Her clothes were dirty and almost torn apart!

Hector cursed and swiftly rushed forward. He forcefully pulled the man away, delivered a fierce kick to his lower abdomen, then pressed his head hard against the wall. The man's head burst open from the impact, and he fell heavily to the ground!

“Penny!” Harmonia called out her name.

Penny opened her eyes when she heard the familiar voice. She was overwhelmed with fear the moment she saw Harmonia and threw herself into Harmonia’s arms.

“Harmonia…” Penny sobbed.

“Don't be afraid. You don’t have to be afraid anymore, it's okay.”

Harmonia comforted her, quickly wrapping her coat tightly around her, intending to help her leave.

Bang!

At that moment, gunshots rang out again, an

    “Fortunately, I made it in time. I was almost a step too late.” Absalom heaved a sigh of relief and almost rushed to Harmonia's side. He reached out to hold her hand, but she swiftly pulled away.Harmonia never expected to see Absalom here. His actions just now were swift and decisive, without hesitation at all, but she couldn't be sure if he was helping her or whether he had other motives.She instinctively stepped back, keeping a safe distance from him. When Absalom saw this, he felt a pang of dull pain in his heart. Gone was the wife who eagerly awaited his return, and she was now replaced by someone who was cautious and wary of him.His fists were clenched tightly, but he loosened them weakly. He was the one who had caused all of this.“Monia, this isn't the place to talk. Follow me up the mountain first,” Absalom said urgently. Harmonia hesitated, unsure whether to trust him or not.“Micah has brought hundreds of men with him in order to capture you.” He continued, “Mon

    Harmonia instinctively pulled the trigger.Bang!A gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed his arm. At the same time, a snake fell not far away. The venomous snake was stiff, and its movements sluggish. With the sudden drop in temperature in Blackath City and the unexpected snow, it was caught off guard, clearly having not found a place to hibernate yet. Even so, it couldn't be underestimated. Once bitten, there would be nothing but death awaiting within these mountains.Harmonia saw the snake and realized that Absalom had had no intention to harm her when he turned around. Blood flowed down his arm, dripping onto the white snow.Absalom held his arm, immediately covering it with clean snow to clean up the blood on the ground to prevent Micah's men from finding any traces.Harmonia pursed her lips, tore off a piece of cloth, and quickly bandaged his arm.Absalom smiled when he saw her actions, “I know you only shot in self-defense, but the fact that you saved me remains. So, can

    “It's peaceful, it's peaceful! The village is safe now!”“After several negotiations, the Third Prince sent people to thoroughly search the village. They didn't find the person they were looking for, so they left with their men.”Hector heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Mr. Steinfield’s words. It seemed that his sister had entered the mountains and escaped Micah's pursuit.As long as she was safe, that was all that mattered.Mr. Steinfield looked toward the distant living room, his face filled with worry as he said, “Mr. Marsh, Miss Penny…”Hector followed his gaze and saw Penny still curled up on the sofa, not saying a word. He walked over to the living room and sat beside her. He didn't say anything and simply picked up a box of tissues and handed it to her.Penny was already sad. When she saw his gesture, she grabbed several tissues and cried even harder.“Crying won't solve anything, the situation has already happened,” The strangely familiar words came once again.He h

    Soon, the news of ‘the old king’s illness’ spread throughout Dairkth, causing quite a stir.Everyone understood very well that the old king’s illness meant that a new king would soon ascend the throne, but the crucial question was—who would be the successor?-Mr. Steinfield had the servants heat up the dishes and set them back on the table.Penny and Hector sat facing each other at the round dining table. Although Hector had learned that Monia hadn't fallen into Micah's hands, he still couldn't help but worry without any news of her.Penny picked up a large chicken drumstick and put it in his bowl.“Little man, don't skip your meal. I'll listen to Mr. Shaw and stay at home during this time. I won't go anywhere and won't cause you any trouble again. I'm really sorry about what happened to Harmonia. You were trying to save me… but I was just so useless.”Besides sincerity, there was only an apologetic look on Penny’s face. She was just an underage girl, so how could she not be

    The smell of disinfectant was particularly strong, causing her delicate brows to furrow tightly as she faintly moved her fingers and opened her eyes. She tried to prop up her weak body, but her powerless hands forced her to give up.“You're awake,” Absalom rushed to the bedside and touched her forehead.“The fever's gone,” He heaved a sigh of relief, his tired face showing redness in his eyes.Harmonia hesitated for a few seconds, trying to avoid his touch, but the slightest movement made her dizzy. She opened and closed her mouth, trying to speak, but her dry throat prevented her from uttering a word.When Absalom saw this, he quickly poured a glass of warm water, trying to help her up and feed her.Harmonia resisted. Even though she felt weak all over, she still tried to push him away.He looked disappointed and was about to speak when a nurse entered the room and said, “Is your wife awake?The nurse then pushed the cart aside and hurried over.“Let me handle this.”He hande

    The next moment, he put it in the pocket of her coat.“This is yours. I kept it for you overnight, and I’m returning it to you now.”Harmonia frowned but didn't look at him. She couldn't understand why he had changed so much. He knew the reason she wanted to go to Lonal Ridge, so why didn't he stop her? When she was unconscious in the mountains, he could have taken advantage of her, but why did he risk his life to carry her all night and bring her to the hospital for treatment? He should know that helping her would mean betraying Micah, and someone like Micah, who sought revenge for any grievance, would never let him off.“Why?” She finally voiced her doubts.Absalom smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he said calmly, “This isn’t the place to talk. Please trust me now on the account that I’ve saved your life again. I booked a motel near the hospital, so let’s leave this place first.”Harmonia nodded and left the hospital with him.They had to disguise themselves to avoid drawing

    He bought another used car, which had the same good performance as well!He then gave the boss some money and asked him to replace the car's glass with bulletproof glass and to make the body look old and worn out, making it appear like a scrapped car.The owner of the used car dealership was completely dumbfounded. His family had been in the car business for three generations, and this was the first time he had heard such a bizarre request from a customer.However, the customer was always right. Since he had bought two cars and paid enough money, the boss agreed to do it. To his surprise, the customer wanted the car ready in just two hours.The boss was dumbfounded again and asked, “Two hours?! Isn't that too rushed?”Absalom handed over several stacks of cash to the boss immediately without any fuss.“Don't worry, it's not rushed at all. Leave it to me!” The boss reassured him after taking the money.After leaving the used car dealership, Absalom headed to a nearby phone shop a

    “Get off at the intersection ahead.”The next moment, there was a sudden braking and a turn. The vehicle then came to a stop!He unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and escorted Harmonia into another car parked in the alley. She still had a fever, was confused, and her steps were weak. She didn't know how she ended up sitting in the driver's seat of this car.Absalom stood outside the car, drenched in pouring rain as he smiled faintly at her and said, “You will have to travel to Lonal Ridge alone.”With that said, he handed her a recording pen.He then quickly fastened her seatbelt, closed the door, and got back into the car that was already exposed without hesitation.At that moment, Harmonia finally understood what was going on.He wanted to drive the exposed car, attracting Micah's people, while letting her drive this safe car to leave Blackorn City smoothly.By doing this, he was taking on all the danger himself!Harmonia lowered the car window and looked back.

    Quinn was startled. “W-what?”“I wasn't locked up here because I ruined your father's business and he is seeking revenge on me.”“Why are you locked up here, then?”Absalom frowned and replied, “It's complicated. It's not something that can be explained in a short time, but if I'm rescued, it means that there will be one more piece of evidence against your father.”Quinn bit her lower lip. She understood.If he were rescued, her father's actions of injuring him and imprisoning him would no longer be a secret.“You're his daughter, and once he falls, you might not be safe either.”Quinn hadn't thought about it deeply before, but now, Absalom's words weighed heavily on her heart.Even though her father had never cared about her and was always distant and cold toward her, and even though her sister bullied her since childhood, every word and action showing contempt toward her, they were her family, and that was something she couldn't change.Moonlight shone into the cellar throug

    Absalom froze in place while holding the snacks at the sound of those words. “She… She answered the call?” His heart felt a sharp pain that hurt a million times more than the wounds on his body.That one word ‘aunt’ was something he didn't want to hear but couldn't deny. They were together, weren't they?Quinn continued to disinfect his wounds, not noticing his expression as she went on and said, “Yes. I've already told her about you. Don't worry, they'll definitely come to rescue you!”“I'm familiar with the paths at home. If conditions permit, I'll guide you when the time comes.”He snapped back to reality, rejecting her without a second thought. “No need. You've done enough for me already by saving my life.”Quinn looked at him and said, “No. I have to see you alive and rescued before I can feel at ease.”“Why?” He asked.She was puzzled. “What do you mean why?”“No one cares about my life,” His eyes dimmed with sorrow.He even wondered if it would have been better if he

    Castell looked at her. His gaze was devoid of warmth but rather, it was as indifferent as cold water.“Tomorrow is your sister's assessment day, and I've been invited to Snow Manor.”Quinn nodded softly and asked obediently, “Is Nara confident that she will win?”Upon hearing this, Castell snorted with great dissatisfaction, “There's no such thing as losing among the Kenwoods! She will definitely be the winner!”Quinn shrank back in fear when she saw the ferocity in his eyes, and she did not dare to say another word. She simply nodded, forced a smile, and said, “In that case, I’ll stay at home and wait for Dad and Nara to come back victorious.”Only then did Castell nod begrudgingly.“Okay, go to sleep now.”Quinn waved to him and then turned to leave.The helicopter slowly ascended, gradually disappearing into the night.After Castell left, Quinn entered the room under Mrs. Clint's watchful eyes.After about an hour, Mrs. Clint entered the bedroom, made sure Quinn was asleep

    Madam Judd's tone was gentle yet firm.Nara was stunned.“That’s impossible! How could I get it wrong?! You must have made a mistake!”She gritted her teeth at the last sentence.Madam Judd chuckled and said, “All three of these are fake.”Nara had an incredulous expression as she shone the flashlight on them again.“The jade has been soaked in strong acid, impurities washed away, then injected with glue. The methods of counterfeiting are becoming more sophisticated, reaching a point where it's hard to tell real from fake. To discern the authenticity of jade, one needs keen eyesight and extensive experience to make judgments. Just because you've seen more and possess more jade doesn't mean you understand more. Do you understand now?”The proud Nara was embarrassed by Madam Judd and couldn't find a way to save herself from embarrassment for a moment. “Understood,” Harmonia nodded.Nara had to reluctantly say, “Understood.”Madam Judd then immediately began the lesson.Though

    She had an uncontrollable nosebleed as blood kept dripping from her nose. She hurriedly bent over, and the drops of blood fell into the sink. Despite the flow of water, it was still extremely alarming.Harmonia did not know what was wrong with her, but after about a minute, she managed to stop the bleeding. She frowned, suspecting that it might be due to heatiness. With about fifteen minutes until nine o'clock, she quickly changed her clothes and hurried toward the appraisal room.Even before the training began, Jenell had already made arrangements for preparations at Snow Manor in advance. The tools in the appraisal room were already prepared.Harmonia and Nara arrived successively.At nine o'clock, Jenell appeared.However, the person who appeared with Jenell shocked Harmonia! It was actually her!Jenell introduced, “This is the jade appraisal expert, Madam Judd.”Harmonia and Nara greeted her. “Madam Judd.”Madam Judd nodded, pretending not to recognize Harmonia.“Let

    Both Jasper and Nancy were dumbfounded. Dimas simply stood there with a strong, calm, and intimidating aura, which made people tremble with fear even without him losing his temper. Jasper and Nancy obediently admitted their mistakes. One was in his early twenties, and the other was about to become an adult, but here they were, behaving like kindergarten kids, loudly promising to be model siblings in the future.Harris laughed heartily, his face showing an expression of ‘even these two rascals have their days’.Coincidentally, Mac walked out.“What’s going on?”Harris immediately explained, “The siblings were quarreling, but their father isn't here right now, so the elder brother stepped in as a father figure to educate them properly!”Mac burst into laughter, “I don’t want to say too much, but you should quarrel less with Nancy. She's not in good health, so you should be more considerate toward her.”After Jasper calmed down, he also realized his mistake deeply. He was born w

    “Two people, two favors.” Two was two and could not be less. Harris failed to play dumb. “You’re really good at calculating!”However, he had no other choice. After all, he could not handle these two people on his own! His head would ache whenever they argued. “Okay, two favors it is, then!” Harris agreed. Dealing with those troublemakers really gave him a headache.“Tell me, what two things do you want me to do for you, then?” Dimas said calmly, “I’ll leave Monia’s safety in your hands in ten days.”Harris was taken aback. “Huh? Isn't that girl at Snow Manor? With your mother there, her safety should be absolutely guaranteed.”“I’m still worried.”“Why don't you take care of her safety yourself, then?”As he spoke, Harris counted his fingers. He suddenly came to a realization.“In ten days? Wouldn’t that be the day when Harmonia and Nara will be taking their assessment together?”Dimas nodded.“You're leaving the base?” Harris understood and asked.“Yes.”“Where are you

    ‘You’re really killing me.’Harmonia whispered goodnight to him again, then stuffed her cell phone under the pillow as she prepared to have a good sleep.Dimas, who was at the base, also put down his cell phone at the moment. He looked at the simple layout diagram carved on the bottom of the box and turned on his laptop immediately to reconstruct it. At the same time, he called Mac to investigate Castell's second daughter.At first, Mac thought Dimas was joking. Everyone knew Castell only had one daughter, Nara. How could there suddenly be another daughter? Dimas then told Mac about the content of the phone call Monia had received. Mac immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Before confirming whether Absalom was really in the wine cellar in Kenwood Mansion, he needed to confirm whether Castell really had a second daughter.After hanging up the phone, he acted quickly. Since she was a living person, there was no way she could not be traced.Mac's efficiency was

    The air seemed to freeze at this moment.The phone clearly displayed the ‘call in progress’ message, but it was as if it was affected by signal interference, and nothing could be heard until his cold voice broke the icy silence.“I will.”Harmonia heaved a sigh of relief, feeling worried as she said, “But rescuing someone from Kenwood Mansion won't be easy, right? That place is definitely a dangerous spot. How do you plan on rescuing him? Furthermore, we can't guarantee that this isn't a scheme orchestrated by Castell.”Having finally received news of Absalom, of course, it couldn't be given up on, but the authenticity of the news also needed to be confirmed.Dimas simply smiled without answering Harmonia's question but instead changed the topic and asked, “Monia, what did you have for dinner tonight?”Just as Harmonia was about to answer, a knock sounded at the door. Her heart jumped, and she acted swiftly and quickly tucked the phone under the blanket.She then pretended to be
