While Muriel lingered outside, grappling with existential doubts, Finn found himself in the surveillance room, anxiety prickling at his heart. He glanced at Sapphire, still sitting indifferently on one side, watching the unfolding events."Madam, shall we proceed with the auction?" He asked.At his query, Sapphire's gaze fleetingly rested on him.Her gaze was sharp, startling Finn, who dared not meet her eyes.However, after a moment of silence punctuated by the delicate sip of her tea, Sapphire finally spoke in her calm, measured tone."Proceed? Why shouldn't we? Does he genuinely intend to present that gemstone to them?Even though Sapphire's words were icy and devoid of sentimentality, Finn, who had been at her side for many years, could perceive a simmering rage within her. He had witnessed her strategies, not once but multiple times, and the mere thought of Ethan's impending fall from grace, his inevitable humiliation, kindled a sense of exhilaration in Finn's heart.However, in

Watching the car in front accelerating even more, Bellamy couldn't hold back and cursed angrily."Damn, are they trying to get themselves killed? Why are they driving so fast?"Even the driver, currently at the front, was sweating profusely."Sir, should we continue the pursuit?""Pursue, of course, we pursue! Keep up with them.If you lose them, don't bother returning to work for the young master, got it?!”"Yes, yes! I understand! I won't lose them!”Though somewhat distressed, the driver could only continue to nod in agreement."Captain, those guys have guts. They can keep up with my speed.But they are still too green!”Upon finishing, Spinel suddenly swung the steering wheel towards a sharp curve, maintaining her speed without the slightest change.In the car, Master Byner turned pale from fright.The world seemed to spin as his heart pounded heavily.Behind them, the driver of the black car was slow to react.He had just begun to turn the wheel when a speeding cargo truck appear

Fear already gnawing at her, Daisy paled at Ethan's words.She defensively covered her chest, stuttering: "What... What are you trying to do? You... You can't..."Retreating hastily, her posture radiated raw fear.Ethan hadn't expected his instruction to be misunderstood, triggering such an overreaction.In an instant, irritation flashed across his face, his eyes narrowing at Daisy."Young lady, what sort of nonsense is running through your head? I only asked you to remove your outerwear, not everything. Was such a reaction necessary? Besides, I am not interested in a child like you."With that, he glanced dismissively over her chest, a trace of scorn in his gaze.Seeing his expression, Daisy flushed with embarrassment and anger. Her teeth clenched tightly."You... You are a bad person!"Upon hearing this, Daisy turned her head away, her demeanor radiating anger.Looking at her, Ethan couldn't help but shake his head in resignation."Fine, keep your clothes on if you must. But if some

Inside the secret base under the earth, the mysterious group walked along the corridor into a row of laboratories.Soldiers in protective clothing occasionally patrolled or led "test subjects" into empty rooms.Each room was equipped with many devices, tubes connected to large glass containers filled with a solution for nurturing these "test subjects."Of course, the mysterious group did not dare to enter. They just followed the corridor into an empty room.At this moment, a man was already sitting inside.He was wearing a metallic demon mask."Elder Joe!"When they saw the man in the room, all three men in black robes bowed to him and called out.The three were merely gold card assassins, while Elder Joe was a silver-ranked elder, a rank higher than them."Trio Star" is a clandestine assassin organization, the hierarchy of which is incredibly rigorous.Within their ranks, the silver assassins are members of their outer circle, distinguished by classes from one to three stars, most of

"Damn it! What the hell is happening? How is the whole city locked down? Even the exits are blocked by the guards?"Inside a black car, a man clad in a red coat, sporting a baseball cap and holding a pistol, wore a slightly pale face as he furiously roared.Two others, a man and a woman in the car, had their faces covered, holding weapons, making it impossible to discern their actual appearances.However, all three exuded a potent scent of fresh blood and a solid murderous aura.They had just been through a fierce battle, and a few dead soldiers in guard uniforms lay before them."Go, keep moving, don't let them catch up!"The sole woman in the car spoke.Subsequently, their vehicle roared to life, darting towards Provincial Highway 13, which connected to New Hanbok.Crash!But their car had yet to get far when a small truck sped from the front, blocking their way.Frustrated by the truck's interruption, the man in the red coat shouted."Damn it!"Immediately, he jumped out of the car
