Arthur and Bella arrived at the company twenty minutes ago, which seemed ordinary amidst this city center.Arthur looked at the company before him, his face calm and unwavering. It was as if he was about to face danger to save someone who wasn't even himself.Bella looked at Arthur, not understanding why her older sister entrusted her safety to someone like Arthur.Before coming here, she always thought a team of bodyguards would accompany Arthur. But no, reality proved that he came here alone.Bella hesitated for a moment. Arthur's voice suddenly resounded: "Stay in the car and wait for me. Don't go outside; it's dangerous."He opened the door, preparing to step out of the car.Bella seemed to be awakened by Arthur's instructions. She looked at him, somewhat startled, following his figure.She instinctively asked, "Can only you really save my sister?"But at this moment, Arthur had already stepped outside, and the car door closed.Bella could only see his tall figure through the dark-
In the official vehicle they used to come here, Bella looked at Scarlet worriedly, "Are you alright, sis?" Although still scared, Scarlet quickly reassured Bella, "I'm fine." She then glanced at Arthur and added, "Thank goodness for Arthur." Bella also reacted now. She had been too excited to see her sister and had even forgotten to thank Arthur. Thinking of this, Bella felt slightly embarrassed as she looked at Arthur and said, "Thank you so much for saving my sister." Still looking out the car window, Arthur shook his head and said, "It's nothing big. It's what I should do." Bella didn't quite understand, but Scarlet remembered their deal. Arthur had promised to handle all the dangers for her, allowing her to focus on her business, and today's events proved that he could deliver on that promise. With that thought in mind, Scarlet's expression turned serious, and her heart, which had been in turmoil due to the kidnapping, became much calmer. She looked at Bella, and Bella sen
The driver stopped at the Bauhinia Hotel, where Arthur was staying. Arthur got off the car, and Bella and Scarlet followed behind him.Arthur looked at Scarlet and said, "Go back and focus on your training. The martial artists I've arranged for you will arrive soon."Scarlet nodded in response, "I won't disappoint you."Arthur nodded and then left. He wanted to return to continue his training, as Bella's interruption made him uncomfortable throughout the process.After seeing Arthur's figure fade into the distance, Bella suddenly looked at her sister and whispered, "It seems like he's quite annoyed."Hearing this, Scarlet couldn't help but chuckle a bit. She remembered what Arthur had instructed her: anyone who wanted to meet him had to go through her first. Scarlet thought to herself that she would apologize to him later.The two sisters returned to the car, and the vehicle rolled back to their villa. On the way back, Bella suddenly asked, "Sister, who saved me that day?"It had onl
On the morning of the following day, Arthur returned to the Smith family home dressed in an elegant suit. At present, without saying a word, everyone was probably assuming he was Scarlet's lover. He paid no attention to those foolish rumors, though they did save him from pretending to be poor in front of others. This made him much more at ease.Adorned in expensive attire, exuding an air of arrogance and composure, Arthur stepped out of the taxi. He looked ahead, where Mrs. Smith had given him the address. It was a single villa within a wealthy neighborhood. Though it might not appear significant, one should know that acquiring a house in this area was no easy feat. Not only did one need to be wealthy, but they also had to possess a particular reputation within high society.In the past, before he established his career, the Smith family was already quite well-off, but they lived in a different area outside the suburbs. Arthur glanced at the villa before him and couldn't help b
By this time, Mr. Smith realized that he had been exposed. He immediately adjusted his expression, furrowing his brows and looking at Arthur, saying, "Arthur, I don't understand what you're talking about."Mrs. Smith, standing beside him, also put on a pitiful face and said, "Arthur, how could you falsely accuse us like this?"While Will, standing on the side, stood up angrily and said, "How dare you say that? My parents raised you too!"Then he turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Smith, extremely angry, and said, "Have you seen it? Right from the beginning, I said we shouldn't have taken him in. We should kick him out of the house right now!"Mrs. Smith looked sad and said, "Will, you shouldn't say that. After all, Arthur is your older brother."Arthur looked at them, one playing the villain and the other playing the innocent, and couldn't help but laugh.He scoffed and said, "You should consider yourselves lucky for having me, a servant, bring wealth to the Smith family. You wouldn't ha
"Swoosh!" That was the sound of the curtain being pulled aside from outside.Arthur withdrew his gaze from the glass door and turned to look at the person who had arrived.Raymond was dressed casually, and upon seeing Arthur, he seemed taken aback. "Just came for a cup of coffee," he said.Arthur understood what he meant by referring to his luxurious and expensive suit. He chuckled and explained, "Just had some business to attend to."Raymond nodded, pretending to look dejected. "I don't know if you've heard, but Lucia is getting married. She's about to be married off."Arthur stirred his coffee cup and nodded, "I heard the news from Scarlet."Raymond seemed surprised and asked, "You and Scarlet..."Arthur squinted slightly and cut Raymond off, "Scarlet and I are not what people think. She's a good girl, don't pay attention to those silly rumors."As soon as Arthur finished speaking, Raymond was almost furious but burst into laughter, "You care about Scarlet so much, yet I haven't he
Arthur furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes tired from staring at his photo. He picked up his phone and texted Scarlet: [Regarding the matter I asked you to investigate, how far along are you?]Scarlet was in the middle of an important company meeting. Just then, her phone suddenly rang, causing a bit of unease among the directors and top executives present. Who would dare to let their phone ring during a silent meeting? Could it be that they don't know the chairman was extremely strict about this?While uneasy and annoyed, Scarlet suddenly stood up and coldly said, "I'm sorry, there's something I need to deal with. Carry on with the meeting." She then turned to her assistant and instructed, "Record everything from this meeting and write a summary. I'll review it later when the meeting concludes."With that, she hurriedly left the room with her phone in hand.The other directors were left baffled, wondering what had just happened. They all turned their attention to Scarlet's as
As soon as she left the mansion, Lucia ran frantically. Despite her feet being sore and burning from not wearing shoes and her muscles screaming in pain, she didn't stop. She had to escape from this place, break free from the abyss that had buried her!The frantic guards were hauling sand at the mansion to extinguish the flames. The tallest guard, presumably the leader, shouted, "Move faster! We can't let anything happen to Miss Lucia!"The Gullwing family had a betrothal agreement with the Henry family. If anything happened to Miss Lucia now, and she couldn't be married off, the Henry family wouldn't let them off lightly. The Gullwing family couldn't possibly contend with a giant like the Henry family!The guards and other servants picked up their pace to put out the fire. Ten minutes later, the fire was finally extinguished. The guards quickly searched every intact room, like the bathroom and dressing room, but they couldn't find a trace of Lucia. Not even a shadow.The guar
Arthur rolled his eyes, looking coldly at the abyss being consumed by the flames.When he saw that the tearful pleas were in vain, in the final moments, all that remained from the abyss's mouth were curses.But Arthur paid no attention; this time, the abyss had to die and, furthermore, die in an entirely new way.The abyss's body quickly turned into dust, but Arthur's flames didn't stop.This was because there was still a dark mist writhing madly there—this was the true nature of the abyss.Finally, Arthur stood, watching the flames burning vigorously for almost thirty minutes.By now, the abyss had completely perished.Arthur wasn't faring much better; he had almost lost his life.His face was as pale as paper, and his lips lacked any trace of color.The scenery in front of him seemed to tilt continuously.Arthur took a deep breath, quickly stabilizing himself, and his serious gaze looked fo
In the final moment, even the abyss didn't fully comprehend what had happened. As soon as the child finished speaking, a tremendous surge of energy enveloped the supervisor's entire body. By now, the supervisor's body was covered in Arthur's blood.The energy erupted, flames engulfing the supervisor's body, causing unimaginable pain. The abyss howled in agony, the sound and force of the supervisor being so intense that cracks began to appear in the ground above them as if it could collapse at any moment.Arthur, pinned by the spikes on the supervisor's body, couldn't escape. The frenzied abyss ran amok, trying to extinguish the flames, causing Arthur's body to shake along with the chaos. Arthur furrowed his brow slightly, unable to do anything more.He didn't even feel the fire burning him; no heat, no pain. This fire was undoubtedly his ally. Arthur thought to himself.Amidst the incessant screams of the abyss, the earth above them began to crumble. Arthur opened his eyes wide
This crack itself didn't know it, but at this point, it had become a deep abyss.The abyss seemed to be doing everything possible to kill Arthur. It frantically dug through its own memories and cracks, searching for Arthur's existence in the past. It aimed to exploit this information to devise a plan to kill Arthur more easily.Unexpectedly, it succeeded in finding what it sought. In the past, when Arthur was three years old and still in the Sunny orphanage, he had a genuine encounter with the abyss.Seizing this opportunity, the abyss immediately used most of its power to manipulate time. However, its power wasn't enough to reverse time entirely. Moreover, to carry out such powerful actions, the abyss had to endure a considerable toll on its own realm.At this moment, the abyss had no memories, but it was genuinely stronger than Arthur, a mere child. It felt confident that it wouldn't lose. As soon as Arthur appeared, it believed it could easily crush him, very gently.But the
Arthur was lifted by the neck by the manager. Even though he struggled frantically, there was no way to escape, and it only made his body more painful.The manager, with his eyes gleaming bright red, looked at Arthur and said in a deep voice, "If you want to live, shut up!"Arthur could feel that the manager was different at this moment as if something had changed deep within him.This change made him appear more frightening, more audacious.Arthur pursed his lips, not daring to say a word.The manager seemed pleased with Arthur's silence. He smirked, then threw Arthur into the pit before him.As he approached, the foul smell intensified. Witnessing the scene in front of him, Arthur couldn't hold back his nausea.Seeing Arthur's expression, the manager sneered, "You've tasted it before, disgusting, isn't it? Ha ha, would you like to have more now?"Arthur's face turned pale, frozen, and he dared not make any other movements.The manager, satisfied with Arthur's fearful appearance,
Arthur's trembling demeanor, in the eyes of the manager, appeared to be weakened to the point of imminent death. Instantly, the manager's eyebrows furrowed, but his spoken words seemed oddly gentle. He approached, took hold of Arthur, and then looked towards Emma, smiling as he said, "Alright, I'll take care of this little one; you may go."In reality, the manager wasn't particularly patient, nor was he a gentle person. However, when dealing with potential "harvestable" products, he was always required to be careful. After all, he was the one raising these children, knowing what they needed to grow up.Hearing this, Emma happily left without any worries. Arthur could only stare as Emma walked away, mouth agape, wanting to speak but finding himself unable to.This made Arthur involuntarily furrow his brows. He also sensed the formidable aura of the man. It seemed as though he wasn't holding a child's hand but rather trying to break a branch.As soon as Emma left, the manager nar
Creating such a large space gate naturally consumes a great deal of power, but Benjamin doesn't even frown at it. His subordinates have arrived, a group of mermen with perfect appearances. Despite their aquatic nature, they firmly plant their feet on the ground, displaying incredible flexibility in movement, and without much talk, they join the battle.However, cracks appear in different races but manifest on the human battlefield. At this point, it's not just a matter of numerical difference; humans and others are truly overwhelmed to the point of breathlessness. Other races take more time to arrive, and at this moment, they must resist until assistance arrives.Meanwhile, Arthur below isn't faring much better. Almost as soon as he senses the spatial shift, Arthur knows what the abyss intends to do. So, for the first time in this life, he uses his privilege, broadcasting a summon to all non-human species on the continent, ordering them to send half of their armies to the human
The body in front of Arthur shattered into pieces, with fragments of flesh and skin shooting towards Arthur, but they couldn't completely reach him as his shield blocked them.Expressionless, Arthur retracted his sword, coldly saying, "Fake again, too troublesome."Indeed, it was another fake; it wasn't a real abyss. However, Arthur could sense the power that had approached his body closely in the recent encounter. Perhaps that was a significant part of the abyss, similar to a detached limb.It could be that the abyss was dying, but it quickly transferred its energy to another body to continue its existence. Arthur thought itwas not entirely wrong; the recent encounter was not a genuine abyss, but it was still a significant part of the abyss.The abyss was now hiding in a corner within the darkness, with blood-red eyes dripping with fresh blood. At this moment, the figure became increasingly frail and uncontrollable, with blood gushing out wildly.Despite this, the figure was rec
The colossal dark arrow collided with the sphere of sharp spikes, immediately creating a tremendous explosion of energy. The ground kept trembling, sharp fragments scattered everywhere, and the shockwave from the explosion alone could be lethal to an ordinary person.In the silent space, after a while, the sound of footsteps echoed, accompanied by heavy, triumphant breathing.The giant figure of the abyss approached the debris field. At this moment, the figure had undergone a massive transformation. Anyone who saw him now would likely struggle to hold back their nausea.The figure's body remained large, but the flesh seemed to melt, sagging to the ground as the figure was dragged along.The melted flesh revealed the grotesque skeleton beneath, with a back covered in sharp spikes, long arms reaching down to the legs, and twisted, bizarrely shaped feet.Especially disturbing was the figure's face, as the skeletal structure appeared incomplete, with half of the head shattered, exposin
At this moment, Arthur truly resembled a person of fire, flames roaring on his body, incinerating all the creatures around him.Beneath a chaotic crack, the screams reverberated, causing excruciating pain to anyone's ears. Arthur, however, seemed oblivious to it all.He swung his sword against the frenzied spikes attacking him. Yet, these spikes seemed to have received some commanding order as they recklessly lunged toward Arthur, unaffected by the hellfire that engulfed them.One after another, spikes hurled themselves at him, seemingly endless. The abyssal realm beneath was evidently dissatisfied with his fiery onslaught, desiring to pull him down as swiftly as possible.Moreover, these spikes were numerous and seemingly fearless of death. Eventually, Arthur's flames revealed a gap.Seizing the opportunity, a spike swiftly maneuvered, grabbing hold of Arthur's ankle and aggressively pulling him down. However, another spike was quickly sliced into pieces, and many others were co
