Thornton Trinity frowned, her face etched with disdain.“No matter what, we are your elders. Is this any way to speak to us?”Russell Sanders lifted his chin arrogantly, not sparing her a second glance.“Elders? You think you deserve that title? Sign the contract and you might live. Otherwise, every ten minutes you stall, I’ll kill one of you—until there’s no one left.”He dragged over a chair and sat down carelessly.The words left his mouth with unsettling ease, as though taking a life meant nothing at all.But the vicious glint in his eyes was unmistakable, and Joanna Emerson and the others felt a chill of fear creep in.Even without asking, they already knew who had been orchestrating everything behind the Hill family’s downfall.And they could not be certain that Russell Sanders was bluffing.He, for his part, had no intention of wasting more time.“Think it over carefully. The choice is yours.”Joanna Emerson trembled with rage. Seeing his absolute confidence only deepened her f

At that moment, a booming voice rang out from outside the door.“Is this the restaurant that poisoned its customers?”Serena Hill’s heart sank. She turned around to see a group of uniformed officers filing in.Some of the diners—whether out of malice or mere curiosity—hurriedly pointed toward the private room.“Officers, are you here to investigate the poisoning? The people are inside.”“I heard someone died after drinking tea. I suspect the poison was in the tea leaves!”“That’s terrifying. Who knows if any of the other dishes were contaminated?”“We can’t come here anymore.”Hearing the overlapping chatter, the officers’ expressions immediately grew grave.“Someone has already died from the poisoning?”They wasted no time and followed the directions into the private room.The room was already crowded with people, packed to the brim.“Secure everyone. No one is allowed to leave!”The restaurant staff fell into disarray, voices rising in anxious protest.The urgency on Serena Hill’s f

Neil Peterson’s ability to read people was second to none. The moment he noticed Cameron Hill’s troubled expression, he quickly agreed and bent slightly as he escorted him toward the door.Just as the door opened, someone outside pushed in at the same time—nearly causing a collision.“Who—”Neil Peterson was about to speak when he caught sight of the group: uniformed officials, unmistakable in their presence, led by a stern-looking man.“Sir, you are…?”“Who is Cameron Hill?”The tall man in the lead swept his gaze over them, his demeanor authoritative and unyielding.Cameron Hill stepped forward immediately.“I am.”The man glanced at the photo in his hand, then back at Cameron.“The actual controlling shareholder of Joy Hotel—Cameron Hill, correct?”Though confused, Cameron nodded.“We have received reports that Joy Hotel has long been providing a venue for illicit transactions involving prohibited substances. All responsible parties are required to come with us for investigation.”

The monk was about to speak again to dissuade him, but Adrian had already stepped into the pool rich with spiritual energy without a backward glance.He clearly had no intention of listening.Emptiness let out a sigh as Adrian sat down cross-legged.Strangely, small bubbles began to rise in the milky-white water. The monk’s eyes widened.Why was the pool suddenly reacting like this?Before he could make sense of it, Adrian had already taken out the spirit beast core and swallowed it without hesitation.He closed his eyes and immediately entered a meditative state.With no other choice, Emptiness sat nearby to stand guard. There was nothing unusual around them—his role as protector amounted to little more than waiting.Out of boredom, he picked up a small stone.At that moment, the spring began to churn violently.Emptiness snapped to attention.During cultivation, there was always the risk of losing control—especially after consuming something as potent as a spirit beast core.And Adr

“I have to admit, this spirit beast core is so pure it almost feels unreal.”After cultivating for so long in such a hidden sanctuary, the Qiongqi’s core had reached an astonishing level of refinement.Adrian nodded, gazing at the bead-like core, as if it existed within a veil of clouds.“It’s quite beautiful.”Emptiness suddenly extended his hand toward Adrian, the core resting quietly in his palm.“I retrieved it for you—how will you thank me?”Adrian answered without thinking, “I’ll treat you to a meal.”Given the value of a spirit beast core, such a response would have been almost insulting to anyone else.But for Emptiness, it was exactly what he wanted.“Mr. Doyle, you’re a delightfully straightforward man!”“Here—take your core.”As Adrian accepted it, he could still feel the heat radiating from its surface.The core resembled a flawless piece of craftsmanship, perfect beyond compare.Even the wealthiest or most powerful individuals in the world would be driven mad at the sight

Emptiness nodded vigorously. It was more than useful—it was extraordinary.To call it timely aid would be no exaggeration.After all, he was clad in nothing but a thin monk’s robe. With this staff in hand, he no longer had to fear the chilling aura of the Qiongqi.“Now then—it’s time for my counterattack!”He began murmuring an incantation under his breath. At once, the staff shimmered with a radiant golden glow.An unseen force seemed to take hold of the dark, unassuming rod, and in an instant, it blazed with resplendent light.Now!Adrian instantly understood what Emptiness was doing. In a flash, he appeared at the Qiongqi’s flank and launched a fresh wave of attacks.Under the combined assault of Adrian and the staff, the Qiongqi let out furious roars.The coordination between them formed a deadly angle—no matter which direction the beast turned, it could not escape the relentless strikes that followed.With Emptiness controlling the staff from afar and Adrian pressing in close com
