The entire crowd erupted in laughter at the snide remark, and Ryan's face burned with humiliation. He couldn't believe that just a few hours ago, he had thought himself invincible.Meanwhile, Adam, Aria, and Anthony were walking towards the exit door while having a conversation. Anthony couldn't help but notice the woman walking beside Adam."Who is she?" he asked, pointing towards the woman.Adam smiled and answered, "She's my fiancée, Aria."Anthony was surprised. "Fiancée? But I thought you were with Hazel from the Hunt family," he said, puzzled.Upon hearing this, Aria stopped in her tracks and turned to face Adam. "Hazel? Who is that? How many women do you have?"Adam looked flustered and said, "No, no, Aria. There's no one else. Hazel is just a friend."Aria raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "A friend? Like... Rosalind? Or like Lilith?" she said, trying to hide her jealousy.Anthony watched the exchange silently, feeling like he was intruding on a private matters. He decided to

Rosalind’s heart raced as she clutched the phone. "What happened? Is my father alright?"Clark leaned against the doorframe, his face breaking into a wide grin. "Well, it's hard to explain, but... your father seems to be recovering."Rosalind gasped, her fingers trembling. "Recovering? You mean... he's getting better?"Clark nodded. "Yes, it's incredible. His vitals just suddenly started improving all on their own. Even the doctors can't explain it."Tears of joy streamed down Rosalind's face. "Thank goodness. I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you for letting me know, Clark."Clark smiled in return. "Of course, Miss Rosalind. We'll take good care of him here. Don't worry."Rosalind hung up the phone, and Sarah, who had been standing next to her, asked, "What's the news?"Rosalind wiped away her tears and smiled. "My father's condition has improved. It's like a miracle happened."Sarah smiled, and turned to Adam. "Looks like you did it again this time."Adam returned his mother's smile a

As Dr. Patel and his team began to prepare for the test, Adam turned to Rosalind. "I suggest you have a talk with Clark. He might be able to provide some valuable information about the poisoning."Rosalind looked at him curiously. "What do you mean? You think Clark knows something?""Clark has been with your family for a long time," Adam said. "He might have noticed something strange or out of the ordinary before your father got sick."Realizing the importance of what Adam had said, Rosalind nodded. "Okay. I'll talk to him right away."Rosalind nodded in agreement and approached Clark, gesturing for him to follow her out of the room. As she left, the medical team performed the toxin screen on Merrick's blood. Dr. Patel quickly took a sample of Merrick's blood and ran the test. Sarah stood quietly in the corner, her eyes scanning the room. As they waited for the results, the tension in the room grew thicker by the minute. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Dr. Patel approac

Adam nodded, and continued, "Mom... Mr. Kingsley... you are about to hear something that could change the world as you know it, so this information cannot go beyond this room. I apologize for saying this, but do you understand?"Merrick and Sarah shared a quick glance, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation."We understand," Sarah said firmly. "You can trust us."Adam took another deep breath and began to speak, "The members of the Supreme Authority are not ordinary people. They possess abilities that go beyond what we know and comprehend as humans. That's because... their powers are something that they were born with."Sarah and Merrick looked at each other in shock. Born with powers? What did that mean?The thought of such beings existing was something they couldn't even fathom. Yes, the Seven Hidden Hands were also not ordinary humans, and their lifespans were also unusual, but at least their abilities could still be learned, even if it required special talents and special

Meanwhile, Aria had just finished taking a shower and was putting on a luxurious silk pajama. She couldn't believe everything that had been happening to her recently. From just an ordinary girl, now she was surrounded by such luxury.The room she was in was breathtaking, with its high ceilings, plush carpeting, and elegant furniture. She sat down on the bed and stared at her reflection in the ornate mirror across from her.Her fair skin looked radiant against the soft pink silk of her pajamas, and she couldn't help but smile at herself. Aria slowly stood up and walked towards the mirror, examining herself closely. Her legs looked long and slender, and her feet were small and dainty.Her face was delicate, with high cheekbones and full but thin lips. Her bright, sparkling eyes were the color of caramel, and her hair was long and dark, cascading down her back in soft waves. Despite her beauty, Aria never considered herself to be anything special. As she looked at herself in the mirror,
