Jessica noticed that Scarlet's car was no longer following behind her, and she couldn't help but sigh of relief.

She then quickly stepped on the gas pedal to return to her mansion.

Thinking about Scarlet's question earlier, Jessica suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Three years had passed, but what did the events from three years ago mean?

Even if Arthur's innocence had been proven, their feelings had already cracked beyond doubt.

An invisible barrier seemed to separate them from that moment.

Perhaps it was when she desperately cursed Arthur, or maybe it was when Arthur seemed a little weary and stopped explaining...

They had predetermined that they couldn't return to how they used to be.

Jessica blinked, feeling her cheeks grow cold.

It was only now that she realized tears were falling from her eyes.

She chuckled bitterly, wiping away the tears, and then walked into the house.

Stanley was sitting in his office, dealing with work.

Due to the pressure from Mr. Adel

    Nightfall, the time of splendor. At this moment, within the oldest estate in the city.The Henry family mansion was bustling with activity as it welcomed a large group of guests to celebrate the birthday of their youngest heir. Though this youngest heir was no longer a mere teenager. Almost all the upper-class citizens of the city had gathered here, and even some prominent figures from other cities were present.A few individuals didn't receive invitations but shamelessly sneaked in. There were also quite a number of young artists here, hoping to find a chance to change their lives. The crowd was diverse, and the party area was divided. Only those with golden invitation cards could enter the inner area of the feast. This was the true dining area for the city's elite. Mr. Smith followed closely behind a man around 40 years old. This man was none other than the mysterious mage they had met yesterday. Mr. Smith hadn't expected the mage to act so quickly. It seemed that Arthur'

    Curtis almost turned purple with anger when he saw Arthur's smile. However, he seemed reluctant to leave now. He quickly turned to his older brother, sobbing, "Big brother, how can you let that guy into my party like this?! Call the guards and kick him out!"His voice was booming, attracting the attention of many people around. Yet, no one dared to say anything, as almost everyone in the city knew Curtis's temperament too well. They watched Arthur with expectant eyes, waiting for his response.Arthur, unaffected by Curtis's angry outburst, calmly walked toward him, with Adel following closely behind him. Seeing Arthur approaching him, Curtis, accompanied by Lance—who had given him a shove at the wedding—couldn't help but twitch, visibly nervous. He tried to move closer to Asta, forgetting he was now a middle-aged man in his forties, not a child.Arthur looked at him, smiling, and said, "No need to be so agitated. I even have an invitation card personally written by Mr. Asta here

    Outside, Mr. Smith was in a hurry, chasing after Nicholas. He couldn't understand why Nicholas was walking so slowly, yet he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried. It wasn't until they reached an area covered in darkness that Nicholas finally stopped.Mr. Smith hesitated as he looked at Nicholas and asked, "How do you intend to deal with Arthur?"Nicholas's cold voice echoed, "You don't need to concern yourself with that."Mr. Smith furrowed his brows, "You can't say that! If you let Arthur be, he'll target our Smith Corporation sooner or later.""So what?" Nicholas asked coldly.Mr. Smith widened his eyes, but before he could say anything, Nicholas continued, "This is the consequence of your failure to complete the mission. Your best course of action is to keep your mouths shut, don't let me discover any of your reckless actions! Not killing all of you is the last mercy I grant. Handle it yourselves! A bunch of useless people."Nicholas's words faded as he disappeared into

    Raymond had taken only a few steps when a soft body leaned against his back, and his waist was embraced.A gentle voice, as ethereal as Lumie's, echoed, "I truly love you, Raymond. I love you regardless of your status. Can't you give me a chance? I can give you everything that Jessica can't. Most importantly, I love you... whereas Jessica doesn't."Raymond's mind was always scheming, but Lumie's final words had indeed struck a chord within him.To the extent that his entire body trembled uncontrollably.Yes, Jessica would never love him, no matter how hard he tried.She always saw him as a friend, a brother; he could never compare to Arthur in her heart.Even though Arthur had hurt her so much, she still trusted him deep down.At times, Raymond, in his desperation, wondered where he fell short compared to Arthur.However, he could never find an answer, which only fueled his anger.Why was it always Arthur?

    When Arthur finished speaking, Crimson immediately let out a cheerful howl. However, considering Arthur's words just now, he quickly fell silent with a look of displeasure.Arthur raised his hand, and a strong gust of wind suddenly surged at that moment! The glass door in Arthur's room instantly frosted over, then shattered into tiny pieces that scattered into the air.Under the moonlight, the scene was somewhat beautiful, except for a creeping dark mist that infiltrated through the broken window.Crimson widened his eyes, observing the scene in front of him. Arthur's voice suddenly sounded, "There's an intruder..."Before Arthur could finish his sentence, Crimson roared, "What the hell is this? Who dares to ruin my good time? I will never forgive them!"Amber glanced at Crimson, silently cursing him for being foolish and getting used by Arthur. Nevertheless, he didn't stop Crimson because he didn't like his plans being disrupted. If this intruder dared to show up, they might as

    Under the invisible pressure of the SB Group, the Smith family was becoming increasingly ruined with each passing day. It had started to decline since Arthur was imprisoned, but under the current pressure, those vulnerabilities became even more pronounced.Mr. Smith sat in the president's office, looking extremely grim. However, at this point, he no longer had the strength to struggle or get angry.Suddenly, the door to the president's office opened, and the person who entered was none other than Will. Mr. Smith looked at him and asked, "How are things going?"Will was incredibly angry, nearly seething. "That Raymond guy didn't even bother to answer his phone! What the hell is he thinking?!"Mr. Smith's eyes turned red, and he stood up, knocking over things on his desk. Will knew that Mr. Smith was starting to lose control again. Lately, there had been too many incidents, and Mr. Smith's outbursts of rage had become far too frequent. Will had even begun to get used to it.Mr. Sm

    "No!" Mr. Smith shouted like that. Arthur raised an eyebrow, looking at him, and laughed, "Why, you seem quite cheerful in your speech. Why don't you continue?" Mr. Smith glared at Arthur, his gaze filled with hatred. Undoubtedly, if given the chance, he would surely pounce to shatter Arthur's face. But, of course, that opportunity would never come to him. He looked at Will, struggling frantically, and finally could only roll his eyes and say, "Back then, when my family was still relatively wealthy. I received instructions from a sorcerer. That sorcerer told me that if I adopted you, my family could rise to the upper class." Those instructions were like the light of his life for someone without power but full of ambition, like Mr. Smith. He gladly followed them; indeed, his family continuously progressed until Arthur grew up, and their family gradually climbed to the top. Arthur's cold voice asked, "What conditions did the sorcerer present?" Mr. Smith bowed and said, "The mai

    Arthur returned to the mansion alone, as Lance was still at the chairman's office of the corporation to handle matters. Instances like these were not entrusted to others by Arthur.Upon entering his room, Arthur immediately picked up his phone and dialed his grandfather's number. The phone rang for a while before someone answered, and his grandfather's voice, hoarse and slow as always, came through, "Arthur, why did you suddenly call me?"Grandfather Hastings was well aware of his grandson's temperament. He probably wouldn't have waited for Arthur's call for a year if it weren't something important.Arthur didn't beat around the bush and said, "Grandfather, how did my parents die?"Grandfather Hastings seemed a bit taken aback by such a question from Arthur. There was a prolonged silence before he responded on the other end of the line.Arthur didn't rush him, though.He waited patiently, and after a while, Grandfather Hastings began to speak, "Why are you suddenly asking about thi

    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
