Chapter 169
The venue was already packed to capacity.But while the event was buzzing with anticipation, a deadly undercurrent ran beneath the surface.At exactly eight o'clock, Scarlett Osborne stepped onto the stage with a calm and composed expression.She wore a faint smile, her demeanor flawless—no trace of unease. From the crowd below, Anthony observed her with quiet admiration. Her emotional control was remarkable. No wonder she could lead the Osborne family at such a young age.That same calm had been evident the day she had begged Anthony for the formula—this woman was no ordinary figure.But just then, a faint, almost imperceptible force surged toward Scarlett Osborne, causing her heart to seize.Anthony noticed it immediately. Tracing the energy’s source, his eyes landed on a man seated in the crowd—cold and expressionless.Otto Isaacson.The same Otto from the Isaacson family of Auroria City—the ancient and powerful clan. They’d encountered him just yesterday at the restaurant.Anthony

They had been someone’s beloved children, and yet they were killed so casually—so cruelly—by this man.“No! Please! Stop shooting!”The old man’s face turned ashen.Watching his colleagues fall one by one before his eyes filled him with agony and sorrow.He knew just how valuable that formula was. If successfully developed, it could dominate the entire national market.And he understood one thing very clearly: no matter how many of them died, they were still not as important as that formula.The fact that Miss Scarlett Osborne had entrusted it to him meant she had placed extraordinary trust in him.He could not betray that trust.Clenching his teeth, the old man looked Otto in the eye and said, “Let me tell you something—only Miss Osborne and I know where the formula is. You can kill everyone here, but you’ll never get your hands on it without me.”Otto’s expression twisted. He clutched his head in frustration and shouted, “Fuck! You stubborn old bastard—what do you want, huh? Money?

It wasn’t long before Otto Isaacson had gathered his men and was heading toward a mountain range outside Silverhaven City.There, hidden deep in the hills, stood a secluded facility—Osborne family’s top-secret R&D base, known to only a select few.As an ancient and powerful family, the Osbornes had taken every precaution to keep the location concealed. But for someone like Otto, finding it was merely a matter of time.Five black SUVs moved silently through the forest, stopping halfway up the mountain. Above them, nestled within the terrain, was the Osborne family's secret base.Dozens of men carrying iron rods stepped out of the vehicles, one after another.Leading the group was Otto Isaacson, dressed in a sleek designer suit, a baseball bat casually resting on his shoulder. A cold smirk played across his lips as he marched toward the factory gates. When he saw the heavy black iron doors, he swung the bat forward and barked, “Smash it. Now!”At his command, the men surged forward, bre

After leaving the restaurant, Anthony and Hazel headed straight to Scarlett Osborne’s villa.Inside the Osborne estate, Scarlett’s face lit up with a flicker of excitement the moment she laid eyes on Anthony again.This man was truly terrifying in his strength.Over the phone, her sister had told her that Anthony had not only wiped out the Wilson family, but had also slain one of Northern King's most trusted men. For someone so young to possess such power—it was simply unbelievable.Now, the two sisters stood respectfully before Anthony.Scarlett's thoughts wandered. Before Anthony and Hazel had arrived, she had deliberately taken a bath and carefully dressed up. She wore a traditional qipao that clung tightly to her slender curves. Her hair was pinned high in a graceful bun, her willow-leaf eyebrows arched delicately over a petite, beautiful face with a hint of pride in her smile. The form-fitting dress emphasized her tall, graceful figure, revealing two long, fair legs. Her eyes wer

As the bodyguards backed away, Otto Isaacson turned to Hazel and said coldly, “Miss Osborne, I’ll give you one last chance. I won’t make my men move if you come willingly.I suggest you take it. Otherwise… I won’t be so polite.”Hazel snapped without hesitation, “Get lost. I’m not interested!”That one line completely set Otto off.“Fine. You asked for it!”He gave a furious wave of his hand. “Get them!”Two bodyguards immediately lunged from both sides, reaching for Hazel’s shoulders.“Ah!!”Hazel cried out and instinctively shrank closer to Anthony.Anthony narrowed his eyes. As the two men closed in, he lifted both hands and, with a sharp motion, caught their wrists mid-air—then flung them aside like rag dolls.The two burly men flew through the air like sandbags, crashing into the ground.The rest of the bodyguards roared in anger and charged forward.One of them swept his leg at Anthony and shouted, “Who the hell are you to lay hands on the Isaacson family?!”“Dead man walkin
Chapter 164
Just as Hazel was feeling disappointed, the man in the black suit returned once again.Seeing him, Hazel immediately snapped, “Go back and tell your young master I’m not interested. Stop bothering us!”The man, however, wore a confident smile and said, “Miss, are you interested in checks? My young master said… if you’re willing to join him for a drink, you can write any amount you like on this.”As he spoke, he pulled out a blank check.Hazel’s expression changed instantly—furious.“How annoying can you be? Can’t you understand human language? Can’t your master? I don’t need money, and I don’t want to drink with him. Now get lost!”She was sitting across from a true powerhouse—Anthony.Finally, she had a rare chance to be alone with him. And now this guy just had to ruin it?She knew opportunities like these were once in a lifetime.The man’s face darkened slightly from her words, but he pressed on, “Miss, please reconsider. If you offend our young master, then—”“Give me the check,”
