"Miss Angie, don't—" Steward Fu couldn't hold back Chen Angie at all. He hurriedly turned to ask Ling Feng to stop her, to keep her from risking herself, but as soon as he looked, Ling Feng had already vanished without a trace.
"Where'd he go?" Steward Fu was baffled. By now, Ryan had already led Angie Chen close to the Chen estate, but since the situation ahead was unclear, he hadn't let Lily Liu follow.
...
Right now, outside the north-facing Chen Family mansion, a crowd of black-clad martial thugs surrounded the estate. The place looked like it had been shelled—ruined everywhere. The one-meter-thick steel gates were about to be breached. Inside the massive courtyard, a dozen household guards lay sprawled on the ground, more bleeding and screaming in agony.
At the center of it all, a woman in red wielded a longsword, sword-qi raging around her. Her cultivation had reached the peak of Blue Realm, about to break through to Purple Realm grandmaster level. Her swordplay was fierce—she was a woman, but her style was pure power. At this moment, the whole Chen Family was barely holding on thanks to her alone!
"Rose Yates, stop forcing yourself. With your strength, you can only hold out three or five minutes more before the Chen Family falls. Don't expect anyone to come rescue you. The Provincial Capital Chamber of Commerce won't lift a finger, and the other businesses are just waiting to carve up your assets! Hahaha!" Outside, One-Eye Drake stood at the gate, grinning wickedly. He held a giant war hammer, commanding Heavenly Fiend Alliance goons to smash the doors. At least two or three dozen masked martial fighters were wrecking the protective array. The barrier looked ready to collapse any second!
"One-Eye Drake, you evil wolf! Even if I die, I won't surrender. I'll fight you all to the end!" the woman in red shouted, her sword-qi flaring wildly. Outside, a masked fighter screamed and collapsed.
"Wild woman, I gave you a way out but you refused, so don't blame me for not showing mercy. Attack! Whoever's first to break into the Chen estate gets a million bucks! And make sure you capture Rose Yates alive—this Chen Family sister-in-law is at her hottest, and I want a taste! Hahahaha!" One-Eye Drake shouted. A massive ironwood log slammed into the gate, and the masked fighters roared.
CRACK! CRACK!
In an instant, cracks appeared in the outer walls of the Chen estate. The whole defense was on the verge of collapse.
But even worse, the red-clad woman holding the line suddenly spat out blood under the enemy's crushing assault—she was about to collapse!
"Ha! Rose Yates, you're finally done for. For a woman, you got guts to hold out this long. Too bad—Provincial Capital's sword queen, nearly a Purple Realm master, about to be history. You stuck with the Chen Family, and the only thing waiting for you is death!" One-Eye Drake finished, then smashed the steel gate with his giant hammer. The whole door crashed down, crushing a dozen loyal guards into pulp. At the same time, the outer walls collapsed. Rose was blasted away and slammed into a massive stone pillar.
"The Chen Family is finished! The Chen Family is finished! The Chen Family is finished!" One-Eye Drake shouted three times, then roared, "Go loot! Ransack the whole Chen estate! They've hoarded wealth for decades—grab as much as you can! But leave Rose Yates for me. I want to play with the famous Chen Family sister-in-law, the notorious little widow! Hahaha!"
Egged on by One-Eye Drake, all the thugs rushed in like a pack of wolves. The Chen Family was a fat sheep, and every one of them was drooling.
A once-famous rich clan in the Provincial Capital turned into hell on earth in seconds—pure horror!
"The Chen Family is doomed. Can't believe even the famous Jinbiao Chen will die at the hands of these thugs. Thirty years of hard work, gone in a day. Tragic! What a pity!"
"Jinbiao's a good guy, always loyal. Are we really just going to sit here and watch Heavenly Fiend trash the Chen Family? I can't stomach it!"
"Don't get carried away. Now's not the time for sympathy. It's fate. Jinbiao's only mistake was being too stubborn, insisting on fighting Heavenly Fiend to the end. Those guys are all desperados, and they've got Japanese backing. Mitsui's reach now covers every major industry. They hire black-force thugs to threaten, beat, even assassinate patriotic entrepreneurs. Who dares cross them?"
"Exactly. Even the Azure Dragon Society has turned against the Chen Family; otherwise, Heavenly Fiend wouldn't dare go this far. No one's going to step in or speak up—it's just the rules of the game. Jinbiao insisted on crossing the red line, and now no one can save him!"
...
At that moment, several Provincial Capital tycoons watched from nearby high-rises. This had nothing to do with them, but cold sweat beaded on every forehead.
It was bloody and brutal, but almost no one realized that within ten kilometers, all internet and communications were already cut off. The Chen estate was a trapped beast, waiting to be slaughtered.
Even worse, the Chen Family's main fighters had already been sabotaged and were out of commission. How could a widowed sister-in-law like Rose Yates possibly hold the line against this madness?
Many people couldn't bear to watch anymore. Rose Yates, powerless to resist, was being stripped by One-Eye Drake, who looked ready to rape her in broad daylight.
But right then, in that desperate moment, a sharp young woman's voice rang out at the gate: "You dog bastard! Touch my sister-in-law and I'll skin you alive!"

The sudden shout stunned the Heavenly Fiend thugs; even One-Eye Drake paused his dirty work.
But he quickly burst out laughing: "Angie Chen, Provincial Capital's famous little model, dream girl of all the rich boys. You actually escaped our hunt? Well, lucky me—today I get both the little widow and the beauty queen. Double the fun!"
"Angie, why are you here? Go! Run!" On the ground, Rose Yates' face went ghostly pale. She hadn't looked this scared even when about to be violated. To save Angie, she grabbed One-Eye Drake's leg.
On the nearby high-rises, several anxious onlookers couldn't stay calm anymore. The Chen Family might be doomed, but Angie Chen was their lifeblood. Some couldn't help but want to rush down to save her.
But One-Eye Drake wasn't about to give anyone a chance. With a wave, more than a dozen Heavenly Fiend thugs charged at Angie Chen. Every one of them was strong, and all of them wanted a piece of her.
Rose Yates screamed in despair. Some rich heirs also howled, knowing it was already too late to save her.
But at that instant, a figure flashed like a ghost to Angie's side.
"What the hell is this? Some Chen Family lackey still kicking? So loyal—I'll have him skinned alive first!" One-Eye Drake snapped, desperate to get Angie Chen, even letting go of Rose Yates.
"Sigh. You people aren't even worthy to die by my hand. I'll just butcher you like stray dogs." The speaker was none other than Ryan. To others, these thugs were terrifying, but to him, they were just ants.
"What did you say? You dog! Death's at your door and you still talk big—who do you think you are? Die!" The lead Heavenly Fiend thug swung his axe straight at Ryan's head!
