The room that had been filled with the sound of music was now silent. Everyone was transfixed, looking at each other. Some frowned, while others held back awkward smiles."Life? Hahaha... that must be part of the drama, right?""Of course! How can an event of this magnitude be dangerous.""The MC is Andrew Bosch, you know? A top actor! He can't be involved in something weird like this.""That's right. I've seen him in thriller movies. No wonder his words feel so real."The voices were mixed with chuckles and applause. They thought the threat was just part of the show.Andrew Bosch replied with a slick smile, then raised the golden cup high. The glow from its surface shimmered, as if reflecting the stage lights, but the dark aura surrounding it made Harvey squint.No... this is not an act.Meanwhile, the countdown on the digital bracelets on the audience's wrists ticked away, with no one realizing its meaning.14:2114:2014:19Andrew Bosch flashes a secretive smile. His gaze slowly sw

Alex lunged forward without hesitation. His arm muscles tensed as he pulled his fist back, ready to unleash a deadly blow.Bang! Bang! Bang!Bullets rained down on his body. Alex didn't flinch, because if he dodged, the shots would surely hit the audience hiding behind him.With an angry roar, his fist flew forward.Thwack!Three people were knocked down at once, their bodies flying in different directions, hitting chairs and the hard floor. They didn't get up again.However, Alex's body was now covered in bullet wounds. Blood dripped heavily from his shoulder, chest, and arms, soaking the floor beneath his feet. His breathing was heavy, his face pale, but his eyes were still burning—full of anger and determination.In the middle of the blood-stained floor and screams, a spectator crouched down, grabbing a gun lying on the ground. With trembling hands, he immediately pointed it at Alex.“You... you must be one of them!” his voice was hoarse with panic. “No ordinary human could still b

Harvey furrowed his brow, his gaze piercing Andrew without blinking. The tone of his voice just now... was exactly the same as the voice on the phone during the NorthV incident. A strong clue, but not enough to confirm whether this man was really Devour.Slowly, Harvey stepped forward. One heavy but steady step, pressing down on the stage floor until it creaked softly. His body was slightly tilted, his right shoulder forward, both feet planted firmly. A perfect stance—ready to charge or withstand a deadly attack.Andrew just stood casually, as if enjoying the show. His sly smile never faded, but there was a dangerous glint in his eyes, a sign that he was also ready.Andrew's eyes lowered slightly, then moved downward. His thin smile widened, accompanied by a slow nod, as if he had just discovered something interesting. His fingers lifted to his chin, stroking it calmly like an audience member assessing a performance.“You've been really careful from the start, huh? Hm... I'm curious.”

Andrew stared at his hands with wide eyes. The black aura that had enveloped his body began to swirl and then evaporate into the air, like smoke being forcibly torn away.“No way... why is my power... gone?!” his voice broke, full of panic. “This shouldn't... shouldn't be happening!”His body suddenly shook violently. Thick black blood spurted from his mouth, splattering onto the floor. A foul, rotten smell immediately filled the air, causing some of the people watching to cover their noses and feel nauseous.Andrew staggered, his knees trembling weakly. He tried to stop the flow of blood by pressing his mouth and chest, but his body seemed to be rebelling. The more he resisted, the more black blood gushed from his throat.“No... this is impossible... I... I should be...” His voice was hoarse, mixed with desperate moans.Harvey's steps stopped right in front of the pool of thick blood. His sturdy figure was faintly reflected on the surface of the black liquid, as if staring at Andrew

Unlike Jordan, who was panicking, Harvey only frowned slightly. He raised his hand, touched his chin, and tilted his head, as if weighing something simple.“Rein is right,” he said calmly. “The enemy already knows I'm in NorthV.”Jordan nodded quickly, still breathing heavily. “That's right, General! I'm sure they found out from Six Realms.”In Duskvale, police and firefighters were busy securing the area around the mayor's office, which had just exploded. Flames burned high, thick smoke billowed into the night sky, and the smell of burning was pungent.What made the situation strange was that even though the building had been almost completely destroyed by the explosion, cries for help could still be heard clearly from inside. No one had come out since the explosion occurred.A fire truck stopped near the police line. Ferry, the firefighting team commander, immediately approached a police officer on guard. His face was stiff, but his eyes were determined.“My team and I are going in,
