After a few days had passed since that meeting, Zane and Laura found themselves standing on the manicured green of a golf course, just as they had agreed. The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the field, while a gentle breeze whispered through the trees. Behind them, Laura's assistant and Cedric stood quietly, observing the scene with careful eyes. In this meeting, it was Laura's first time encountering Cedric as Zane's trusted confidant. To their surprise, it turned out that Laura and Cedric already knew each other—a revelation that was just as new to Zane. Cedric then revealed another unexpected aspect of Laura's background: she was a highly skilled senior spy, a fact that left Zane astonished. Additionally, Laura was not only a master of espionage but also an exceptional fighter. "I never would have guessed that you were Cedric's boss, Zane," Laura said. She stood close to him, watching intently as he lined up his shot. Zane, focused on his ball, pau

Zane and his team continued their meeting, the serious atmosphere palpable in the room. Zane knew he had no time to waste; he had to act before the leaders of The Crimson could make their move. "Cecilia, do you have a way to create that mask?" Zane asked. Following Laura’s suggestion, Zane planned to be in two places at once, gathering evidence related to the illegal arms trade. "I believe so," Cecilia replied, her voice filled with excitement. She had already requested image processing software and algorithms from Celine to help create the mask. Cecilia motioned for the team to follow her to her favorite laboratory. As they walked, she explained that Celine had once produced a mask that was an exact replica of her boss, Arthur Gardner. Using Celine's 3D editing software and image processing algorithms, Cecilia wouldn't need to start from scratch. She just needed to perform a high-resolution 3D scan of Zane’s face to capture its precise dimensions. Zane sat in

Zane sat beside Alfred, while John sat on the other side of the modern, plush sofa.Zane began to speak, “Grandfather, I didn’t expect this place to be so advanced, especially with the entrance hidden in a seemingly untouched cave.”“Yes, all of this is thanks to Alfred. He helped me acquire this advanced equipment,” John replied. He continued, “Zane, I’ve heard from Alfred that your cultivation has improved significantly. I’m very proud of you.”“Grandfather, I should be the one thanking you for granting me this incredible power,” Zane responded.John smiled, “I’m glad you’ve grown so well, Zane, even though your late wife’s family treated you poorly.”“That was just a part of my journey to where I am now. It doesn’t matter at all, Grandfather,” Zane replied.John stood up and motioned for Zane to follow him. “Come with me, Zane.”This was a moment John had long awaited. As they walked toward a room, John said, “Alfred has told me a lot about your life, including your current mission

The FalconX launch event was about to begin. Before Zane, as the CEO, entered to start the event, Maretti and Harris were seen sitting side by side.“Why are you here at this event, Harris?” Maretti asked irritably. “Don’t mess up my plans.”Previously, Maretti had planned to attend the event alone, without Harris. Maretti intended to flirt with Zane during the event and entice him into continuing the evening with dinner. After that, Harris would follow and capture Zane. However, Harris suddenly changed the plan.“Haha, don’t worry. I’ll make sure our plan goes smoothly,” he replied.“Besides, you said you’re not familiar with Zane and always end up in confrontations with him. But why aren’t you embarrassed to show your face in front of him? What an idiot,” she said.“How could I miss this? It’s a major event, and I’m representing my company here. So, it’s an opportunity not to be wasted,” he replied.“Disgusting, what a shameless person,” she said.Maretti stepped on his foot, caus

One hour before Dominic arrived.That night, Dominic was on his way to a bar. However, while he sat in the back seat of his car, a voice message came in. “Maretti?” he muttered, opening the message. "Idiots, did they make a mistake?"At that moment, he realized that Maretti and Harris were carrying out a mission to trap Zane and deliver him alive to Morano, the number one leader of The Crimson Syndicate. “Dominic, come to the restaurant immediately, we need your help now! Otherwise, we’ll be in serious trouble.”He trembled upon hearing the voice message, imagining that this trouble might be connected to Morano. “Turn around, now!” he ordered his personal driver. He quickly made a U-turn and headed straight for the restaurant where Maretti was. Though Morano appeared calm and composed, he held many mysteries that none of the other members knew about.Meanwhile, Cecilia, managing everything from a distance, had hacked into the entire CCTV system of the restaurant where Maretti
