“No! No! Doctor, my daughter’s still breathing! Please, save her!” the woman cried out in desperation.But the doctor only frowned and said coldly, “Her bones are shattered, all her organs have been pierced. There’s no saving her. Just sign the paperwork.”“No!” The woman collapsed to the floor, barely caught by the man beside her.Melanie Oakley rushed forward and helped her up.Her stepfather’s face was grim, his brows tightly furrowed. He knew the truth—at this point, their daughter was as good as gone.“Enough already! This is a hospital, not a funeral. If you want to cry, do it elsewhere,” the doctor snapped impatiently. “Sign the forms. Pay the fees.”Anthony’s brows furrowed deeply. He could understand that the doctors couldn’t save her, but this man’s attitude—wasn’t it just too heartless?Melanie’s expression also turned icy as she glared at the doctor. “What kind of doctor are you? My sister just died, and all you care about is money? Do you have no conscience at all?”Th

The two figures were blasted backward like broken kites, smashing into the wall. They twitched a few times… and then went completely still.Dead.The entire room was struck dumb.The two Mythical Tier experts from the Mystic Bureau… just died? Just like that?What had even happened?Everyone stared in disbelief as Anthony slowly retracted his fists.“What the hell? Weren’t those guys Mythical Tier experts?”“Yeah! And they went down like eggs hitting stone!”No one had actually seen Anthony make his move, but it was obvious—he was the one who did it.One move. Two Mythical Tier masters. Gone.The Mystic Bureau’s senior brother’s expression turned grave. Archer Osborne turned ghostly pale. Elijah Osborne looked like he’d just swallowed a pile of dung. His men trembled visibly.Anthony spoke coldly, “Idiots… did you even do your homework? Next time you come for me, try thinking it through.”The senior brother frowned. “You… do you have some kind of powerful backing?”“Bullshit!”

The man across from her had refined features, but his eyes gleamed with mischief.“Miss Smith, I’m Aiden Baldwin, nephew of the owner of Health Pharma.”Lily smiled and nodded. “Then let’s begin, Mr. Baldwin. I’d like to know—what’s the price for your formula?”Aiden Baldwin chuckled lightly and said, “Miss Smith, no rush. Let’s enjoy a cup of coffee first—then we can talk business.”Lily Smith didn’t rush to respond. She understood clearly—if today’s negotiation went smoothly, the Smith family could potentially avoid the looming storm.Their entire family empire was built on health and cosmetic pharmaceuticals.But who would’ve thought that one of their best-selling products would be counterfeited? And worse—the knockoff was more effective than the original.This plunged the Smith family into an unprecedented crisis.The only viable solution now was to quickly secure a new formula and develop a superior product to counter the market disruption.That’s why she was here, face-to-face

Immortality?Anthony's brow furrowed.It wasn’t the first time he’d heard the word. But he knew, more clearly than anyone, that true immortality didn’t exist in this world.No matter how powerful your cultivation, how prestigious your status—immortality was a myth.Wealth couldn’t buy it either.Sure, money could prolong life—but only to delay death, not to escape it.Seeing Anthony fall silent, the black-robed man suddenly spoke in a sinister tone:“I can help you achieve immortality! Let me live, and I’ll tell you how!”Anthony looked at him coldly.The black-robed man mistook his silence for temptation.But Anthony simply said, voice like frost:“I have zero interest in your so-called immortality. If you truly believe it exists, then let me kill you—see if you come back to life.”A chill ran down the black-robed man's spine.Damn it! This guy wasn’t taking the bait at all!What now?“S-Sir! I swear it’s true! There are people in this world who’ve lived for hundreds of years withou

Lily Smith spoke calmly to him, “Mr. Baldwin, you came up here with me. Don’t you remember?”“Huh!?”Aiden froze, scratching his head. “I really don’t remember at all!”Lily sighed. “It’s alright then, Mr. Baldwin. I’ll be leaving now. Oh, and… please cooperate with the police for a brief investigation.”With that, she turned to leave.Audrey Chambers quickly reminded her, “Lily, don’t forget!”“I know, Auntie.”Lily nodded, though she was still visibly upset.Aiden called out in a hurry, “Miss Smith, about the formula—”“Not interested anymore!”Lily waved her hand dismissively and walked away without looking back.Was this a joke? $500 million?Why didn’t the Baldwin family just go rob a bank?Now that she thought about it, it was only a fragmented formula—was it really worth that much?Besides, the Smith family had Anthony backing them now!Worst case, she’d just turn to him for help.He was her fiancé, after all. No way he would let the Smith family suffer.He was incredibly capab
