Samuel arrived at the destination Eric had sent him to. It was a nature park filled with lush trees, where birds lived freely, undisturbed by the humans strolling through.According to Eric, this park served as the gathering place for those involved in the mission. Samuel had packed carefully before coming and wasted no time dialing the number Eric had given him.After a few rings, the call connected."Hello...""You must be Samuel, right?" he was immediately interrupted."Yes," Samuel replied."Okay, I can see you now. Turn toward the pear tree on your left."Samuel obeyed and saw a young man in a black jacket and jeans waving at him with a smile. Beside him were three others: a short, grumpy-looking man and two girls. One girl had hair half-painted pink, while the other was blonde.He walked up to them."Are you done taking your sweet time, newbie?" the short man taunted. Samuel ignored him. Of the two girls, only the pink-haired one greeted him with a sweet smile; the blonde remain

“What do you mean we shouldn’t go in now? The girl is clearly in danger,” Samuel frowned at Kenny.“We don’t even know why she went into the mansion or what her relationship is with that girl. How do we know she’s in danger? If we rush in now, we might lose the chance to ambush her properly on the way out,” Maxwell argued.“Are you even thinking this through?” Samuel shot back. “Didn’t we just confirm that the girl is a celebrity? Considering her history with other celebrities, you’re still speculating whether she’s an enemy or not?”“This street is busy,” Kenny countered calmly. “Any rash move could cause a scene. Besides, she’s never been caught on camera entering any of her victims’ houses.”“You must be joking,” Samuel sneered. “You wouldn’t even have noticed her entering that mansion if I hadn’t detected her unique energy signature. You think a camera could capture someone like her?”Countless times, they had almost lost her trail. But Samuel had memorized her distinct energy pat

"Here," Samuel said, pointing ahead."Something must have happened here," he added with a frown."Indeed. Even I can feel the remnants of strange energy lingering," Kenny replied, nodding."Look at these paw prints. They seem to belong to some kind of large wolves," he added as his torchlight revealed a set of massive impressions in the soil.Samuel stepped closer, inspecting them carefully. "I think these are summoned beasts," he concluded."Summoned? By who?" Kenny asked, confusion written across his face."The witch," Samuel replied. "She's a summoner. That’s where her true strength lies. She isn’t powerful in close combat. The attack she used earlier was likely from an external artifact, probably that bead she had.""I see. Then we should move deeper into the forest. She might still be around here," Kenny said."You’re right. I can sense she’s close, but something feels off... I can’t quite tell what. Let’s move first," Samuel said, and the two of them ran deeper into the woods.A

"I want to take you out on a date after I recover, to thank you for saving my life," Samuel said to Sheena. She had just informed him that she was returning to her clan with her friend. They seemed to have something important to handle.She widened her eyes in disbelief. "Really? Okay, darling, let’s have that date the next time I come. I promise it will be soon. Please keep your word." She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. He didn’t resist. Although he hadn’t fully accepted her feelings, he decided to let it happen for now.Sophie almost shouted. She had to cover her mouth to stop herself. She had been shocked too many times today and was beginning to feel like she didn’t know Sheena anymore.The sight disgusted her. The idea of kissing a weakling like Samuel made her stomach turn. How could Sheena fall for such a man? She had plenty of suitors back in the sect, all stronger and more refined. Why would she care about him?After Sheena and her friend left, Samuel called Eric.

"Did you say that you want to buy my label?" he asked."Yes, that's what I clearly said," Samuel replied, adjusting his cufflink with a trace of boredom.Rowland looked at him as if studying him. Perhaps he's the son of a billionaire. That might explain why he's friends with the president of Cocharis Pharmaceutical and why he talks to him as an equal.Speaking of the president of Cocharis, Rowland excused himself. "Excuse me, give me one minute," he said, bringing his phone under the table to search for information about the president of Cocharis Pharmaceutical. Articles with his face appeared, all discussing his shocking weight loss."So he's truly…" he muttered under his breath, before turning to face Samuel again, now fully convinced.Someone who could be friends with the president of Cocharis could not be ordinary, no matter how ordinary he appeared."Alright," Rowland said, a renewed hope lighting his eyes, "if you are willing to buy it for one hundred and twenty million dollars,
