“Someone like you is nothing but poison, Lama said coldly. “I won’t kill you, but looks like you have to crawl back tonight.”
With that, she slammed her boot down on Dylan’s other leg, and another snap rang out.
From this moment on, Dylan’s days of cultivation were over. He was completely crippled. Luna figured that for someone as vain as Judy, watching her precious son turn into a helpless wreck would be the harshest revenge of all.
“You wanna die? Then go ahead. Otherwise, crawl out of here yourself.” Luna had no interest in dealing with the trash.
Dylan was seething with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. Against this kind of power, he didn’t even stand a chance. Right now, all he could focus on was staying alive.
Sophia stood there in total shock. She thought blankly, ‘What just happened? Is this really my daughter? She’s terrifying.
Ethan, on the other hand, looked at Luna with eyes full of admiration. He wondered, ‘Wow, she’s amazing. My sister’s the coolest person in the whole world!
Dylan, dragging himself inch by inch, finally made it out of Sophia’s apartment. Ethan marched over and slammed the door shut.
Lying outside and staring at the closed door, Dylan was boiling with rage.
He cursed internally, Damn it. That bitch actually dared to do this to me? I won’t let it slide. I’ll make her pay. The Blackwoods and the Walkers won’t let her get away with this!
He wanted to call someone from his family to come get him. But with both arms broken, he couldn’t even pick up his phone.
He managed to crawl to the elevator, only to realize he couldn’t even press the button. There were no neighbors nearby. Even if he died there, nobody would know. Left with no choice, he began crawling down from the 20th floor.
Back inside, Sophia suddenly snapped into action. She ran to her bedroom and grabbed her ID, bank cards, and anything important. She didn’t even bother with luggage. She grabbed Luna and Ethan and pulled them.
toward the door.
She moved so fast that Ethan tripped and fell.
“Mom, we just got back. Where are you even going?” Ethan grumbled. He was tired. All he wanted was a warm bed and some sleep.
Sophia said, “Luna, we’re leaving right now. Forget the company. If I can keep you and Ethan safe, I don’t need anything else.”
Sophia knew that after tonight, neither the Blackwoods nor the Walkers would spare them. They had to run

In Luna’s memory, her mother’s hands had always been warm. And now, they were still dry and comforting. Luma had expected her mother to be afraid after what she’d just seen, but instead, all Sophia cared about was protecting her.
For the first time in five years, Luna felt warmth in her heart. The ice inside her finally began to melt.
Luna said softly. “Mom, we’re not going anywhere. You don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll protect you Ethan. From now on, no one’s ever going to hurt you again.”
Sophia replied, “Luna, listen to me, alright? The Blackwoods really do want us all Penumbra Group because of them. They’re not going to let us go.”

She closed her eyes, thinking bitterly, “How could they do this? Luna and Ethan are Blackwoods too. How can they be so cruel to their own blood?
Luna saw the pain on her mother’s face, and her chest tightened. She mused, The Blackwoods are pure evil. Even a widow and two children aren’t safe from them.
She pulled Sophia and Ethan into a tight hug and said with steady resolve, “Mom, trust me. No one is ever going to hurt you again.”
