With the formula destroyed, Scarlett Osborne had now become a living version of it. Whoever controlled her would possess the formula itself.That much was clear to everyone present.Otto Isaacson, though his true intentions had been exposed, didn’t seem the least bit embarrassed. He glanced around the room and said with a grin, “Let’s not fight amongst ourselves. Only one family is walking out of here with Miss Osborne today. So if your family isn’t strong enough—save yourselves the trouble.”As he spoke, his eyes drifted to Arthur Watson.Arthur, of course, realized Otto was referring to him. Standing behind him was a burly man with a massive frame and a calm expression. Despite his unimpressive aura, there was something unnervingly composed about him, as if he were detached from all of this.Beatrice noticed it too. Her brow lifted slightly.A master, she thought. At least in the context of Otto and his ilk.“Hmph! Don’t be so sure. You might be the one who dies,” Arthur Watson repl

Anthony suddenly let out a soft chuckle. “That’s strange. When did I say the R&D team had been wiped out?”The moment those words left his mouth, the room erupted in gasps.Everyone turned to stare at Otto.He instantly realized his blunder and tried to recover. “I—I just heard rumors. I didn’t know the Osborne family’s R&D team was—was gone…”Anthony shook his head slowly.“Mr. Isaacson… it’s over.”Otto’s face contorted in terror.He was truly afraid now. Anthony’s power had shattered everything he thought he knew. If he had understood what kind of monster this young man was, he would’ve never dared to cross him.But it was too late.Anthony began walking toward him. Each step he took seemed to pound with a heavy, murderous intent, pressing down on the hearts of everyone present.His eyes burned with cold fury as he looked at Otto.“Mr. Isaacson, if you wanted the formula, you could’ve bought it. Why steal it? Why rob people, murder them? Those researchers—did they provoke you? Did

“Based on his strength, we believe he’s the one responsible. No one else could have killed the Watson heir, our Otto, and Mr. Franklin.”Edward’s expression froze.His eyes narrowed. “You’re saying… you suspect it was that young man?”“Yes,” the intelligence officer nodded.“Father,” Hunter Isaacson added, “rumor has it this young man wiped out the entire Wilson family of Aurelia City. If it really was him, we’re in serious trouble.”That wasn’t an exaggeration. The others fell silent.A powerhouse capable of exterminating a massive clan like the Wilsons, and even provoking the Northern King—how could the Isaacson family possibly compete?“What do we do now? I can’t let my son die in vain!” Kingsley Isaacson suddenly roared.Hunter tried to reason with him. “Brother, didn’t the man say he was coming for us? That gives us time to prepare.”“You think it’s that easy?” one of the family members sneered. “Prepare all you want—are you sure it’ll be enough?”“Don’t forget, this is Auroria

Anthony let out a silent sigh. Was he really that irresistible? Why did so many women want to throw themselves at him?Sensing their intent, Anthony spoke up immediately: “Miss Osborne, do you two need something?”His sudden voice startled the sisters, making them jump.A second later, Anthony switched on the bedside lamp.What he saw left him utterly stunned.His eyes widened in disbelief.These two… were dressed far too provocatively.Hazel wore a silky camisole dress so short it barely covered her hips. Her long legs—fair and slender—were fully exposed, and she was barefoot, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.Scarlett, on the other hand, wore a tight black dress that hugged her curves, her legs wrapped in sheer black stockings. Light makeup enhanced her already alluring face, making her look both elegant and seductive.Clearly, one sister was playing the wild temptress, while the other played the shy, delicate beauty.The visual impact of the contrast was staggering.Gulp.A

“You mean you?” she asked.“Yes,” Anthony nodded. “Of course. As your friend, I’ll visit you too if I have the chance.”“Oh…” Serena looked a little disappointed, but said nothing more.“Let’s eat, Mr. Jones.”“Sure,” Anthony replied.Just then—“Sir, this area has been reserved. You can’t go in.”The sudden voice caught both Anthony and Serena off guard. They turned to look behind them.Soon, they saw the hostess from earlier being shoved in by several burly men. A tall figure was surrounded and escorted in like a VIP.“Haha, Serena! I finally found you!”A man walked in, wearing a crisp white shirt, over 1.8 meters tall, exuding a strong martial aura. His presence alone made it clear he wasn’t an ordinary man.Serena’s expression immediately darkened. “Arthur Lawrence? How did you find me here?”So this was Arthur Lawrence.Anthony noted the name clearly.Arthur’s eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Serena. “Serena, I wanted to see you. I went to Aurelia City, but you
