emotions were tangled beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything that had happened today had shaken her deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth about her past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doubts about the Obsidian Wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange kindness in Julian’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed time alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and walked toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment Ammy D’Aurelius saw her clearly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did such a stunning beauty appear in this house?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beauty was breathtaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long green hair flowed down her back like silk, and her purple eyes carried a cool elegance that made her seem both distant and alluring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her curvy figure wrapped inside the maid uniform only made her more striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest pressed proudly against the tight fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her waist slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hips round and full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long legs graceful and firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even compared with women like Selena Aurevale, she didn’t fall behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he remembered what Julian had said earlier—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Massage section?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes

across his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurried out of the room behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lina, wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was already slightly cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you the new maid?\" Ammy asked with a charming smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lina Ashford.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she looked at him coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ammy straightened his jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Ammy D’Aurelius, Julian’s cousin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t usually stay here, so it’s normal you don’t know

speaking—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand reached out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to wrap around her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, he was already calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a beauty working as a maid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Julian didn’t want her, he could easily keep her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had the status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment his hand touched her—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLAP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound echoed sharply in the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ammy’s head snapped sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face burned instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even react—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers locked around his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one swift motion—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slammed him against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ammy’s pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing instantly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear filled his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the woman standing before him was no longer a beautiful maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt like a venomous snake ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina’s face was ice cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her purple eyes stared down at him without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t push your luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m also sent by Evan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words hit him like a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grip tightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ammy’s legs trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-sorry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice came out weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time in his life—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had felt true fear from a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina stared at him for another moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she released him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ammy collapsed onto the floor, gasping for air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest rose and fell violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina calmly took out a wet wipe from her pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped her hands slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if touching him had dirtied them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice carried cold contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Know your place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She casually stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heel landed lightly against his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pressing his face sideways against the floor for a brief second before she walked past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ammy winced but didn’t dare shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he screamed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servants would come running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they saw him like this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What dignity would he have left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists clenched tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lina disappeared down the hallway—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ammy slowly stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted with humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been slapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And stepped on—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes filled with resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he took control of the D’Aurelius household—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would make that woman regret everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But another thought soon replaced the anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lina was truly planted here by Evan—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the Obsidian King had already infiltrated Julian’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Evan truly had terrifying influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Working with him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His plan was guaranteed to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later that night, Ammy left the D’Aurelius residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he got inside his car—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made a phone call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly reporting everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian D’Aurelius was finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or so he believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Ammy didn’t know—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that the moment he ended the call—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian had already received the recording.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian sat inside his room, listening quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyebrow lifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Scythe Division?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered them very clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were elite warriors of the Obsidian Wing, personally trained for high-level missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each member was an expert in Old Martial Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, the strongest fighters practiced Old Martial Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their power levels were divided into four ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Platinum Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the lowest—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even someone at the lowest Iron Realm could easily become the head bodyguard of a powerful household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four members of the Scythe Division were all at the peak of the Iron Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian leaned back in his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow smile spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just four little brothers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Evan, who had reached the Silver Realm, couldn’t break the defense of the Undestroyable Barrier Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now these four Iron Realm fighters thought they could kill him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ammy helping them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian stretched lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost felt bad for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were walking straight into their own graves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression slowly hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peaceful living had always been his only goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if others insisted on disturbing that peace—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he would remove them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that night, Julian spent two full days lazily relaxing at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No message came from Ammy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a hint of the trap being
