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

    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

    “Suspicious?” Lily’s heart skipped a beat.Could she say Anthony had just killed someone?Of course not.The only thing she could do was cover up everything that had happened moments ago.In a low voice, Audrey said, “We’ve received intelligence that a deranged serial killer was hiding here.”“What?!” Lily feigned shock, covering her mouth. “That’s terrifying, Auntie!”Audrey sighed and shook her head. “Looks like he escaped again. Alright, Lily, you and the others need to come with me. We need a statement from all of you.”“Okay.” Lily nodded.But Anthony turned to Audrey with a frown. “Nothing happened here. Why should we go give a statement?”Audrey’s expression darkened. “We need witness testimony to aid the investigation.”“Well, I can’t help you with that.” Anthony turned and started walking away.“Stop right there!” Audrey barked, clearly irritated by his attitude.“Auntie…” Lily quickly grabbed her arm.She knew her aunt’s temper too well. If this continued, the two of

    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

    Just then—Two tiny, unremarkable insects silently landed on the backs of their necks.Neither of them noticed.Lily took a deep breath, ready to refuse—when suddenly a sharp pain pierced her neck.“Ah!!”Two startled cries rang out simultaneously.Lily and Aiden looked at each other in shock.“What just bit me?” Lily Smith reached for the back of her neck, but felt nothing.Aiden Baldwin nodded as well. “Same here… damn it.” He slapped his neck but didn’t give it much thought either.Meanwhile—On the rooftop above, the man in the black robe curled his lips into a sinister smile.He returned to his original spot, sat cross-legged, and began forming strange hand seals while chanting under his breath.Moments later, he bit into his index finger and flicked a drop of blood into the air.At that exact moment—Inside the café, Lily Smith and Aiden Baldwin both shuddered. Their eyes instantly lost focus, growing dull and lifeless.The two stood up in unison, expressionless, and exited th

    Ruthless. Decisive.Melanie Oakley's view of Anthony shifted once again.After wrapping everything up, Anthony turned to her and said, “Miss Oakley, if possible, take your sister back. She’s safe now.”“Alright.” Melanie Oakley nodded.At that moment, none of them dared to speak. Anthony’s overwhelming strength, and what they had just witnessed, had left a deep, indelible mark in their hearts.This time, Anthony personally escorted them back to the Oakley family estate. Afterwards, he didn’t linger—just said his goodbyes and left.…A day passed quickly.Evening.In a remote mountain range, layers of peaks stacked one atop another, dense forests stretched endlessly, the terrain was steep and shrouded in mist. The scenery was majestic and otherworldly.Amidst this near-fairyland stood a cluster of ancient-style towers and palaces.This was the home of Ardenia’s ancient martial sect—the Mystic Bureau.At this moment, in the brightly lit council hall of the Mystic Bureau, dozens of f
