Melanie’s heart clenched.“You… you're from the Osborne family?”She realized instantly what this meant.But why would they be looking for her?“Yes. I need you to come with me,” the old man said calmly. “If you cooperate, things will remain civil.”Suddenly, he placed his hand on the car’s center console.In the next second, the plastic began to corrode, releasing thick white smoke.Melanie gasped in terror.“What are you doing?!”“Come with me…”At his words, Melanie's mind flashed with realization. “You’re here because of Anthony?”“Smart girl.” The old man nodded.That confirmed it.Melanie instinctively tried to escape.But before she could even react, the old man made a move—and her world went dark.She collapsed, unconscious.…Meanwhile.Anthony had returned to Crystal Haven.Just as he approached the entrance, his phone rang.It was Franklin Fisher calling.Without hesitation, Anthony answered.“Mayor Fisher, what can I do for you?”He didn’t mind dealing with Franklin Fisher

He had never doubted Anthony’s words. If Anthony could spot an issue at a glance, he surely knew the root of the problem.Anthony replied calmly, “It’s missing something. And I’m the only one who knows what that something is.”In this world, how many true mystical practitioners were there?So far, Anthony hadn’t met a single one. But that didn’t mean they didn’t exist.His master had once told him that in Ardenia, two hidden sects—one in the north, one in the south—were true mystical clans. But those people rarely appeared in the mortal world.If the chance arose, Anthony wouldn’t mind testing his skills against them.Though honestly, he didn’t see them as a threat.Aaron Ellison scoffed. “Our Ellison family has its own dedicated alchemist. Aren’t you afraid of throwing your back out, talking like that, Vice President Jones?”Anthony replied with indifference, “Your alchemist ruined the formula.”Aaron’s eyes narrowed, suspicion flashing in his gaze.He sneered, “Vice President Jones,

Was this guy really that skilled?Acupuncture required precision on every level—the accuracy of the points, the depth of the needles, the order of insertion. Every detail mattered.Everyone stared intently at Anthony, suspicion clouding their eyes.For those who had never witnessed such mastery, Anthony's technique was beyond comprehension.In his hands, the silver needles performed like a dazzling acrobatic display, mesmerizing and fluid.But no one dared to interrupt.Gradually, expressions began to shift—from doubt to awe.Anthony's needlework was impeccable. The precision, the speed, the seamless flow—everything was perfect.And more astonishingly, he wasn’t even using his hands directly.He was using Energy to Guide Needles.As the last needle settled into the girl's body, they began to tremble—clearly visible to the naked eye.Soon after, the needles turned black.Then, thread-like trails of dark toxins began to seep from the girl’s skin.The crowd gasped.“It’s working! The poi

“Mayor Fisher, what’s going on?” Raymond asked urgently.Franklin Fisher's face was tense with worry. “Quick! Save my daughter!”At his words, all eyes turned to the little girl in his arms.Raymond’s expression changed dramatically.The girl’s face was darkened, her breathing weak, and her exposed hands were already turning a bluish-purple.This was clearly a case of severe poisoning!The toxins had already spread, and her condition was critical.The others exchanged uneasy looks.“Looks like the mayor’s daughter is in deep trouble.”“Yeah… her breathing is faint, her face is discolored—this is bad.”Whispers rippled through the crowd.But none of them dared to make a move.With so many master physicians from the Medical Association in attendance, surely one of them would step up.Besides, judging by the girl’s condition, there was little they could do.Even Raymond’s heart skipped a beat.This level of poisoning—she was teetering on the edge of death.The odds of saving her were sli

Fifty points! That was enough to place in the top five of past assessments.Naturally, the candidates swarmed toward her first.But after learning the details of her condition, they all backed away.No one could treat her.The woman sat in a wheelchair, her face full of sorrow.Judging by her stylish attire, she was clearly someone who cared deeply about her appearance.Now, however, she couldn’t even lift her head in public.Anthony noticed her.To him, curing such a condition would take nothing more than an Eternal Youth Pill.As candidate after candidate sighed and passed her by, the woman neared collapse.Tears welled in her eyes as she cried out, "Please, I’ll pay anything—just cure me!"As her desperation peaked, a figure stopped in front of her."I can heal you," said a young man in his mid-twenties, his eyes sharp, his tone proud.His words instantly drew everyone's attention.“Hey, isn’t that the young master of the Ellison family?”“Yeah, that’s him! If he says he can treat

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
