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.

    They had never imagined that the so-called Mr. Jones, whom Kingsley Hamilton had mentioned again and again, would be such a young man.Could this kid really heal someone?"Mr. Jones, you’re really hard to get a hold of," Kingsley Hamilton said, his tone tinged with reproach.Anthony had rejected their invitations several times, and Kingsley was clearly irritated.Anthony, however, didn’t take offense. He glanced at Tabitha and said calmly, "Mayor Hamilton, next time you send someone to invite me, make sure they come with the right attitude. Don’t send someone acting like royalty to order me around. Healing you is not my duty—it’s a favor.""What do you mean?" Kingsley’s expression turned serious at once, sensing something was off.Anthony replied indifferently, "Ask your wife."At that, Kingsley turned to Tabitha."What happened exactly?" he asked, his expression darkening."I... I..." Tabitha stammered, unable to speak, her voice faltering with guilt.Kingsley then looked at Raymond.

    Soon, they arrived back at the Hamilton residence.Inside, the house was full of people waiting anxiously.When Tabitha and Raymond entered the room, Kingsley Hamilton immediately asked, "Where is Mr. Jones? Where is he?"He was clearly panicking.The burning heat inside him felt like he was being roasted alive.If Jeremy Irving hadn’t been suppressing it, he might already be dead."Kingsley, I brought Raymond. Let him take a look first," Tabitha said, completely avoiding any mention of Anthony.Raymond stepped forward quickly. "Mr. Hamilton, let me check your pulse first."He placed his fingers on Kingsley's wrist and began the examination.More than ten minutes passed before Raymond finally furrowed his brows and withdrew his hand."Sigh..." He let out a heavy sigh, his face filled with worry.Hearing that, Kingsley’s expression grew darker."What is it, Raymond? Is it treatable?" he asked.Raymond answered solemnly, "Mr. Hamilton has been invaded by a deadly energy. It's extremely

    Tabitha was growing increasingly impatient. She looked at Anthony coldly. "I’ll ask you one last time—are you coming with me or not?"She felt she’d already given Anthony too much face.This brat was unbelievably ungrateful!She’d come all this way just to find him, and he didn’t even show her the slightest respect.Tabitha was about to explode with rage...But Anthony didn’t move. He didn’t even bother replying.He had no intention of indulging such a rude woman.Besides!What did Kingsley Hamilton’s life or death have to do with her?Anthony’s indifference sent Tabitha into a fury.She glared at him and then waved her hand. "Take him back."She was going to use force.No matter what, she had to bring Anthony back.Only then might Kingsley be saved.But then again…Would it really work?This kid looked so young, clearly still fooling around with little girls. How could he possibly have that kind of ability?The next moment—The bodyguards behind her rushed at Anthony."Kid, don’t res

    But one thing was certain—Anthony had always been in her heart.Even when she was angry and resentful, it was his face that came to mind afterward.Now, she regretted everything. But everyone makes mistakes, don’t they?Freya hadn’t cheated on him; she hadn’t betrayed him.She just... wanted to move up in life.“Miss Mitchell, we’re already divorced. You following me like this—it's putting me in a difficult position.” Anthony was angry, but there was a trace of sorrow in his voice too.Tears welled in Freya’s eyes. “I know you hate me now. You probably think I’m a shallow woman who only cares about money, don’t you?”“And aren’t you?” Anthony’s voice rose with emotion.“No!” Freya’s answer was firm.She looked straight at him, eyes unwavering, full of determination.“I, Freya Mitchell, have never been that kind of woman. You know what my family used to be like. We were poor—so poor I couldn’t even afford a dress of my own when I was in school.”“People hated me for being smart. I was

    Jeremy Irving gave a tired smile. "Mayor Hamilton, I must admit, I’m utterly exhausted, so..."Hearing this, Kingsley Hamilton waved his hand repeatedly. "You are too humble, doctor. You saved my life—an immense favor. Tabitha, go make preparations!"Tabitha had been by Kingsley Hamilton’s side for many years.She understood immediately what he meant by “preparations”—it was to prepare a gift of gratitude."Right away!"Tabitha stood and was about to leave.But just then—"Hmm?"Kingsley Hamilton's brow furrowed sharply.A second later, a metallic taste rose in his throat.He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood."Cough... cough..."The sight of it sent another wave of shock through the room.Tabitha spun around, horrified."Kingsley—!""Ahhh..."Hamilton writhed in pain, his face contorting once again."It... it hurts so much...""Mr. Hamilton!""Old Mr. Hamilton!"Cries of alarm erupted all around.Jeremy Irving, who had just sat down, bolted to his feet."Master!

    Returning to the room, Stephen Smith quickly asked, “Madam, what happened?”Tabitha inhaled sharply and said with anger, “He’s not coming. Honestly, I think that guy’s just a fraud. We should start thinking of alternatives. Can't we contact other doctors?”There were renowned doctors all across Ardenia.She refused to believe only that man could offer a cure.Hearing this, Stephen Smith said, “Madam, let my master try.”“Your master?” Tabitha blinked. “Didn’t you say the hospital couldn’t diagnose Kingsley’s condition?”“My master is a witch doctor—a master of traditional medicine. He may be able to see what we can’t,” Stephen said urgently.Tabitha nodded. “Alright, bring him here.”Stephen immediately called his master.The call connected quickly. After a brief explanation, his master agreed to come over.Everyone began to wait.Meanwhile, Kingsley Hamilton remained alive only through the ventilator.If not for his status, the hospital would have already advised the family to pr
