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

    Everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly terrified.Now they realized the truth—this young man was the Osborne family’s ultimate trump card.Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the heir and protector of the ancient Isaacson family could be slaughtered so easily.This young man needed only a flick of his fingers, a wave of his hand…And someone like Griffin Franklin had his head burst in an instant.Anthony glanced over the crowd, his eyes filled with contempt.Then, his gaze landed on Benjamin Chambers.Besides him, there was still Solace Nightshade… But Anthony had no intention of letting either of them go.As soon as Benjamin Chambers noticed Anthony looking at him, all the warmth and calmness on his face vanished.He dropped to his knees instantly.Sniveling, crying, he begged, “Sir, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have come here. I shouldn’t have challenged you earlier. I shouldn’t have coveted the Osborne family’s formula. Please—have mer

    Anthony suddenly let out a soft chuckle. “That’s strange. When did I say the R&D team had been wiped out?”The moment those words left his mouth, the room erupted in gasps.Everyone turned to stare at Otto.He instantly realized his blunder and tried to recover. “I—I just heard rumors. I didn’t know the Osborne family’s R&D team was—was gone…”Anthony shook his head slowly.“Mr. Isaacson… it’s over.”Otto’s face contorted in terror.He was truly afraid now. Anthony’s power had shattered everything he thought he knew. If he had understood what kind of monster this young man was, he would’ve never dared to cross him.But it was too late.Anthony began walking toward him. Each step he took seemed to pound with a heavy, murderous intent, pressing down on the hearts of everyone present.His eyes burned with cold fury as he looked at Otto.“Mr. Isaacson, if you wanted the formula, you could’ve bought it. Why steal it? Why rob people, murder them? Those researchers—did they provoke you? Did

    In the next instant, a fearsome vortex exploded beneath his feet as he charged straight at Anthony.A terrifying aura swept across the room.The others looked on with cold sneers.But right at that moment—"Boom!!""Aargh!!"A scream tore through the air as Tank’s massive body was sent flying backwards, crashing through the wall and landing outside in a heap.Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.Tank wasn't weak—his outburst just now was powerful enough to rival someone of Celestial Tier strength.But that ferocious attack had been effortlessly crushed!It was absurd. Unbelievable.All eyes turned to Anthony again.They couldn’t figure it out—just how powerful was this young man?"Who the hell is he?"Solace Nightshade furrowed his brows. He couldn’t sense any aura from Anthony—he seemed like an ordinary mortal. That was why he hadn’t paid him much attention at first.But now, he couldn’t afford to ignore him.He couldn’t read his strength, yet the strength he displayed was terrifyin

    With the formula destroyed, Scarlett Osborne had now become a living version of it. Whoever controlled her would possess the formula itself.That much was clear to everyone present.Otto Isaacson, though his true intentions had been exposed, didn’t seem the least bit embarrassed. He glanced around the room and said with a grin, “Let’s not fight amongst ourselves. Only one family is walking out of here with Miss Osborne today. So if your family isn’t strong enough—save yourselves the trouble.”As he spoke, his eyes drifted to Arthur Watson.Arthur, of course, realized Otto was referring to him. Standing behind him was a burly man with a massive frame and a calm expression. Despite his unimpressive aura, there was something unnervingly composed about him, as if he were detached from all of this.Beatrice noticed it too. Her brow lifted slightly.A master, she thought. At least in the context of Otto and his ilk.“Hmph! Don’t be so sure. You might be the one who dies,” Arthur Watson repl

    Soon, the grand hall was nearly empty.Only a handful of people remained—each one exuding formidable power.“Miss Osborne, most of the others have left. I suggest you hand over the formula and let us settle it among ourselves.”The speaker, a man dressed in black, scanned the remaining crowd with a cold gaze.He was Arthur Watson, heir to the ancient Watson family of Sea City.Everyone left in the hall had stayed for one reason: the formula.They were all from ancient clans, and a formula this miraculous couldn’t possibly remain in the hands of a “lesser” family like the Osbornes. Now that they had verified its authenticity, their true intentions surfaced.Scarlett Osborne looked at them with a calm smile. “As I said—this formula is not for sale. I’m seeking a powerful partner to collaborate with.”Arthur let out a low laugh. “Do you really think the Osborne family has the strength to protect it?”“Oh? Mr. Watson,” Scarlett replied, “you seem very confident in my formula.”“I intend t

    Seeing Scarlett Osborne so composed and focused, the crowd gradually quieted down.The atmosphere grew still as all eyes turned toward the female reporter, watching closely for any changes.Most people remained skeptical. Half an hour? That wasn’t nearly enough time to see results—or so they believed.Time ticked away.And soon, thirty minutes had passed.Suddenly, the reporter gasped, “I feel something!”The crowd instantly turned toward her. The cameras whirred as journalists zoomed in to capture every detail.Then it happened.A faint black layer of impurities began to rise from the pores on her face.Scarlett Osborne let out a silent breath of relief. Her lips curved into a confident smile.“All right,” she said. “Please head backstage and take a shower.”“Yes, Miss Osborne!”The reporter clearly felt something stirring within her body. She quickly left the stage.Scarlett turned to the audience. “Just a moment longer, and you’ll witness a miracle.”Twenty minutes later, a tall, g
