Chapter 251

After a long time, Eden took a piece of white fabric and gently covered Sofia.Eden smiled bitterly. "Death... it's freedom, isn't it?"Suddenly, she paused. "But no one has the right to steal your life from me!"Eden turned and opened the door to the operating theater.When Alain saw her emerge, he glanced inside. The white fabric stood out starkly. He narrowed his eyes, wanting to console Eden, but he didn’t know how.Eden pulled her cap down and looked at Caelus, who had just returned after taking Talia home."Caelus, can you please take care of my grandmother's funeral," she asked, her voice faint but steady. Her face remained expressionless as she spoke.Caelus and Horace's expressions both darkened. They wanted to say something but couldn't.After a while, Caelus took a deep breath and nodded. "Understood.""Thank you."Eden then turned to Alain and asked with a smile, "Alain, may I borrow your power?"She beamed, almost like the sun breaking through clouds as the flow

The entire city of Estburg had turned into a slaughterhouse.Those who came seeking trouble now lay lifeless on the ground, becoming corpses themselves.Alain was like a demon emerging from the deepest pit of hell, reaping one soul after another. Determined not to let Eden stain her hands any further, he moved so quickly that his enemies couldn’t even react.Despite this, he didn’t feel tired. He didn’t pause to catch his breath; he just kept on killing.Horace, Caelus, Jonathan, and everyone else could only stand there, silently witnessing the carnage.Eden looked at the tall figure. Her vision seemed blurry.Alain returned from the piles of corpses and picked up his blazer. He then held Eden tightly, his voice gentle. "Let's go home."Eden raised her head and looked at him. "Alright."Horace then drove Alain and Eden back home, while Caelus stayed behind to handle the aftermath.Due to Peter's status, he stayed and went directly to the funeral home.On their way back to Sky

Chapter 253

"Alright," Alain said as he put away his mobile, then handed a jacket to Eden for her to wear.When Eden and Alain arrived at the funeral home, Caelus had already taken care of everything.Everyone who had received the news had already arrived.Some were there because of Alain. Others came for Eden.Samuel and Peter were present.Edmund was the only one from the Hunt family.Cielo represented the Navarro family.Skylar represented the Parker family.Terry represented the Wheeler family.Ryan represented the Olsons.They all came because of Eden.Geoffrey and Sinead had arrived a few hours earlier. Once they heard about Sofia's passing, they went straight to the funeral home.Julius couldn’t attend due to health reasons, and the rest of the Ward family didn’t go at all.Some of the others from the wealthy families went because of Alain.As soon as Eden arrived, Sinead quickly walked over, held Eden’s hand and patted it, her eyes brimming with tears. “My condolences, Eden.”

When Eden heard what the man said, she looked him in the eye and let out a cold sneer.She walked over to the young man and raised her hand, gripping his chin. "Cousin? You think you're worthy?""You..." The man struggled in anger, but soon realized that Eden was stronger than he expected; he couldn’t even move.After a moment of silence, he said, "No matter what, she was still a daughter of the Smith family. That’s an immutable fact. Even though she betrayed the family, the Smiths have still sent someone to her funeral after her passing. You should be grateful."When Alain, Horace, Caelus, and the others heard this, they were all shocked.Sofia was a member of an old-money family... She was a Smith.Alain's dark eyes narrowed as he looked at the man, a thought flashing through his mind.He knew Sofia wasn’t an ordinary woman, but a daughter of the Smith family?No wonder an old woman living in the countryside, with no ties to worldly politics, would have a Heartgorger planted

Chapter 255

In the afternoon after the burial.Talia stood behind Eden, her eyes fixed on Eden's slender figure, feeling upset. Eden had always been the same, concealing her own vulnerabilities.Why did someone as kind as her always seem to face misfortune?Talia turned to Alain, her gaze darkening. He hadn’t protected Eden properly. He wasn’t worthy of being by her side.Geoffrey and Sinead, worried about Eden, personally took her back to Skygarden."Eden, don’t worry about school," Sinead said gently. "Geoffrey and I will handle the paperwork for your leave. Take a few more days to rest, and let Alain take you somewhere to unwind. It’s okay if you don’t get into university this year. If you want to continue your studies, you can do it next year. And if you don’t, that’s fine too. Just take some time to enjoy yourself."Sinead was worried that Eden wouldn’t be able to move on and didn’t even dare to mention Sofia.Letting Eden relax somewhere else seemed like the best way to help her right

Chapter 256

Caelus and Horace were taken aback. Weren’t they discussing Eden? Why had the conversation suddenly shifted to the four prominent families? Still, Caelus didn’t question Alain and simply nodded. "Alright."Alain lit a cigarette and gazed out the window. "The world’s changing."Horace’s heart skipped a beat. "You’re saying someone’s planning to act against the four families? What does this have to do with Eden?"Alain turned around, his eyes dark. "Sofia was from the Smith family.""But her name was stricken from the family records, right?" Horace asked, puzzled. "And she’s already passed away. What value could she possibly have?""Eden does," Alain replied slowly. "Even if someone hid her entire identity, the Smiths wouldn’t have a hard time uncovering it. Her medical skills alone make her a significant threat."Horace seemed to recall something. "The Smiths want to eliminate the four families?""It’s worse," Alain said, lighting another cigarette as he finished the first one.

Chapter 257

When Arctic Hawk received Eden's call, she was already on her way back from the Median Continent with the specialized drug. But by the time she returned, it was too late. Eden then instructed her to head to Sirona to defend her home and ensure no one entered.However, there were no flights or trains between Estburg and Sirona, so she had to drive. Due to poor road conditions, it took her two days to arrive."It's fine," Eden said coldly, pulling her cap down. "As long as they don't enter, ignore them.""Alright!" Arctic replied angrily. "But don’t worry, take your time. Leave this place to me. I'll protect your home with everything I have. If they want what I have, they’ll have to prove they're capable.""Thanks."Eden trusted Arctic Hawk’s abilities.The Four Kings of the Agency were tightly knit. No matter who was in trouble, the other three would do everything they could to help.However, Eden didn’t ask for Black Panther and King Cobra’s help. Their identities were too uniqu

Chapter 258

No one had been in the room for a very long time. A thin layer of dust covered everything inside.Eden stood in the middle of the room, taking in the decor. She felt her eyes well up again.But she quickly pulled herself together. She found a box beneath the goddess statue her grandmother had mentioned.There was a key underneath the box. She opened it and took out what was inside.It was the Scarlet Jade of Thousand Mountains. Eden didn’t recognize it, but she knew her grandmother had lost her life for it.She narrowed her eyes. What exactly was this thing?Sofia was already around seventy years old and didn’t have many years left. Why would they choose to kill her now? And why hadn’t they come for the jade?It meant that the people who killed Sofia and those who were here now weren’t from the same group.The day after Sofia’s death, Eden had used every channel available to investigate the origins of those responsible. But there was no trace of them; it was as if they had appe

"I know you can fight, but how can I not worry when a young woman like you leaves just like that?" The mayor said with a sigh to Eden. "I knew your grandmother wasn’t an ordinary woman when she first moved to Sirona. I could tell just by her clothing. Now that you've grown up, it’s clear you’re more than meets the eye. So... they’re here for you, aren’t they?”Eden bit her lip and stayed silent."We watched you grow up. Even though you’re quite the loner, you’ve always treated us well. Now that your grandma has passed away, we can’t let anything happen to you. Stay the night, and we’ll find someone to deal with them tomorrow. You can leave once it’s safe,” the mayor said.Eden’s personality was a bit odd. Besides the children of Sirona, no one had wanted to be her friend since she was young.While others might not know her well, everyone in Sirona knew she was a good kid.Eden had always been different from the other children, learning everything quickly. By the time she was ten,

Chapter 260

Eden said her farewells to the other villagers before leaving with Alain and the others.At the village entrance, Eden suddenly stopped and looked around coldly. "Don't worry. I'll personally come for all of you. None of you can escape."Though she wasn't shouting, her chilling tone made everyone hiding nearby shudder.Immediately, all the figures scattered and vanished from sight.As they were heading back to Estburg and had just gotten off the highway toward Audair, Arctic Hawk suddenly said, "Stop the car."The car came to a halt, and Eden turned to her. "What's up?""I'm getting out here," Arctic Hawk said, grabbing her backpack and putting on her leather jacket. She looked as free-spirited as ever. "Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."Alain studied Arctic Hawk with a sharp gaze before saying, "Why don’t we head back together?""No, thanks," Arctic Hawk replied with a smile. "I’ve got other things to take care of.""Alright," Alain said, pulling out a bus
