Three days later, Zachary and Quilly arrived at a charity gala, as invited by the organizers, where they attended the first meeting of philanthropists and organizers. Zachary was astonished by the grandeur of the event, which was far beyond what was depicted on the advertising flyer. As they stepped into the venue, Zachary and Quilly found it to be just as luxurious as a high-end restaurant. Although the organizers claimed that they did not have many philanthropists, nor any major ones, why did they have such a budget to organize such an extravagant gala?

Flowers and wine were abundant, with a few other investors enjoying the wine around, but there were only a few present.

Zachary and Quilly took a walk around to tour and observe. A person from the organizing committee recognized them:

"Hello! Are you Zachary, the philanthropist?"

A staff member in a black suit with a black badge on his collar asked.

"Yes," Zachary replied, and the staff member immediately turned around and gestur

    Zachary's thoughts were unknown to Quilly, so she remained silent and endured the mockery from Chloe. "But why won't you come? So why are you here now?" Chloe pressed Zachary with her questions. But Zachary seemed to dodge the question and didn't want to answer: "I might have something to do next week." "Okay." Chloe waved her hand. She was still not satisfied because she couldn't mock Zachary as much as she wanted. But at least Chloe felt superior as the only VIP philanthropist here. She turned around and ordered the event staff like a commander: "We probably don't need to escort him anymore. You come with me, I want to put more rose bouquets at the entrance, it will be expensive!" They left Quilly and Zachary behind. Quilly was angry and questioned Zachary: "I don't understand! Zachary, do you think the organizers only need her, so you don't need to participate anymore? I understand you, it's okay." Zachary laughed and said: "Yes, I think the organizers only need her, so I

    The crowd murmured with excitement, and Chloe leaned over to Zachary, whispering snidely, "I bet I can outbid anyone here." Zachary rolled his eyes, unimpressed by Chloe's arrogance. "It's not a competition, Chloe. It's about helping those in need." Chloe scowled at Zachary, but before she could retort, the host continued, "We will start with our first item, a beautiful painting by a local artist. The bidding starts at $5000." The room fell silent as people began to bid, raising their hands and calling out their offers. Chloe, eager to prove herself, quickly raised her hand and shouted, "I bid $10000!" The room gasped at Chloe's high bid, and she smirked, feeling pleased with herself. But her satisfaction was short-lived when someone else quickly countered with a bid of $20000. Chloe gritted her teeth, determined to win the painting at any cost. She raised her hand again, calling out a bid of $30000. Finally, the other bidder dropped out, and the host declared Chloe the winner.

    Zachary's face hardened at Emma's words, but he remained calm. "I know my own work when I see it," he said firmly. "And I find it hard to believe that you could have painted this when I clearly remember the man who bought it from me. And it wasn't you."Zachary couldn't believe that after what Emma had done to him, she could continue to let him down. And now that he had exposed her deception.As he thought back to their conversation at the university gate, he realized that it had all been a complete sham. He had been taken in by her lies and her charm, thinking that she was a fellow artist who shared his passion for the craft. But now he knew that it had all been a facade."Let's not jump to conclusions here," the host said, trying to keep the peace. "Is there any way to prove that this painting belongs to one of you?"Emma smirked, confident in her own abilities. "I have no problem proving that this is my painting," she said. "I can show you my drafts an

    Zachary and Emma rushed to the hospital, hoping to see Emma's mother before it was too late. As they arrived, they realized that the hospital was crowded with people, and the staff seemed to be overwhelmed. After Zachary waited with Emma until her mother's surgery was complete, the doctor came out to give them the news. "The surgery was successful," he said, "but your mother's condition is still critical. She will need to stay here for some time to recover." Zachary could see the exhaustion and worry etched on Emma's face. He knew he had to do something to help. Without hesitation, he asked the doctor how he could make her mother's stay more comfortable. "Well," the doctor said, "we do have some more comfortable rooms available, but they are reserved for VIPs." Zachary didn't hesitate. "I'll pay for it," he said firmly. "I want her mother to have the best possible care and comfort." The nurse hesitated, looking at Zachary skeptically. "I'm sorry, sir, but those rooms are reserved

    After his flight, Zachary arrived at the hotel and decided to cycle to the location of the yacht. While he was biking along the road, a group of young people in a car drove past him. As the car passed by, one of the young people yelled out, "Hey there, enjoying your little bike ride, poor boy?" Another person in the car added, "What are you doing on that old bike? Did you lose your driver's license or something?" Zachary smiled and replied, "No, just trying to enjoy the scenery a bit more." But the insults continued, "Look at him pretending to be eco-friendly. Like he couldn't afford a car." The group of young people burst into laughter as they drove away, leaving Zachary to continue his journey. Despite their rude comments, Zachary remained calm and kept his focus on reaching his destination. As Zachary boarded the yacht, he pulled out his invitation card and showed it to the security guard. Once inside, he noticed that mo

    As more people began to take notice of Zachary's presence on the yacht, the whispers grew louder and more curious. Suddenly, Rajiv Patel's voice boomed over the crowd, silencing the whispers. "Excuse me, everyone," he began. "I am pleased to introduce you all to Zachary, a big investor in my company." The crowd murmured in interest as they looked at Zachary with newfound curiosity: "He must have a good eye for investments if Rajiv is introducing him." "No wonder Rajiv invited him. He's practically royalty." Xander looked at him with wide eyes, impressed by his new discovery. Meanwhile, the group of young people who had mocked Zachary earlier looked at each other in fear and embarrassment, realizing they had made a mistake by judging someone based on their appearance. Zachary simply turned his head to look at the people, offering them a friendly smile. The group of young people felt ashamed and quietly left the area, realizing that Zachary was not the person they had made him out

    Zachary finally reaches the shore, exhausted and soaking wet from his swim. He struggles to pull himself up the beach, but just as he finally makes it to his feet, he suddenly feels a sharp pain on the back of his head. Everything goes black, and Zachary falls unconscious. When he comes to, Zachary realizes that he's been tied up and is lying in a dark room. He tries to look around but realizes that he's been blindfolded. He struggles against his restraints, trying to get his bearings, but it's difficult without being able to see. Suddenly, the figure returns to the room, holding a flashlight. "Hey, Zach. Trying to escape, huh?" the figure says with a sneer. Before Zachary can respond, he feels a sudden push to the back of his head. Pain shoots through his skull, and he falls back to the ground. Zachary lies there, his head throbbing and his body restrained. He can hear the man moving around, but he can't see anything through the blindfold. He's completely at the mercy of his capt

    Zachary enjoyed a lavish dinner that night, prepared by their family's personal chef. He sat at the long dining table with his parents, savoring each bite of the delicious meal. His mother, Taliyah Pennington, was the picture of elegance and grace, dressed in a flowing silk gown that shimmered in the candlelight. She had always been a pillar of strength for Zachary. His father, Kristopher Winthrop, was a tall and imposing figure, with piercing blue eyes and a commanding presence. He had always been a shrewd businessman, and Zachary had learned a lot from him about running the family's company. As they dined, the atmosphere was filled with warmth and nostalgia. Elizabeth regaled them with stories of her time spent traveling through Europe and attending high society events, while Kristopher recounted his business trips to Asia and the Middle East. The meal itself was a feast for the senses, with each dish prepared to perfection by their personal chef. The scent of spices and exotic

    "... How much do you hate your leader?" The tomb keeper shook his head in an old-fashioned manner, "This amount of money is no more expensive than a life."Zachary hooked the man who was about to leave, "We're not done talking, look at this, have you seen it when you were in the antique business?"Joselyn Robles looked at them both from side to side and her smile didn't go down, "Zach there's no need to rush, since so many threads are intertwined it's most likely a secret under one karmic copy, the poison looks creepy but other than the ability to catalyze the very sight of it no other harm has been found so far, it's more of a 'link' than a poison '."Suspicious, the tomb keeper counted through the bills and was pleasantly surprised; he drew out the charm concealed in them, and the moment he saw the human-faced phoenix, his expression changed.The tomb keeper admired and put away the red ticket, "You're really something, OK, I'll keep it for you."

    Though he also felt that the old lady was making a bit of a fuss about it, and that 8 was so burnt out right now, how could he have time to interfere with them, and that Zachary would be even less able to do that when he was splitting up eight people to use them, and tossing them out of the way."The two cases are not unrelated, one could even say they are related, what Callum Luna said is true, it was 'Roderick Luna' who financed the curator of the painting exhibition, and that's not the only thing, the antique auction house a while back, the floating cloud carving that was intercepted by Vice Ramirez The silver needle, finally found in the diary sent by Ms Ara, was the very one that Dulce Hooper used to make all the blood pacts for the Gale Watts sacrifice."Callum Luna demonstrates the attitude of the Luna family, "-He who dares to desecrate God is not worthy of death."Celine Kirk, who had long since leaned against the car, shook out her skirt, "Let's just s

    "Unsolved case." Zachary didn't have much of an expression, "I've been investigating this, his death took up all my energy, it's not exactly a secret within the Way, sorry, just didn't want to get you involved."Celine Kirk grunted coldly, "Cut the crap, Sea Ring aside, since Gale Watts has a lead on Roderick Luna, the Luna's are in charge, and it's been two nights since the Gale Watts monstrous statue posed as a deity, so don't tell me that your team hasn't come up with anything."But now that Zachary just said it, he instead thought there was a hidden agenda, or else Zachary wouldn't have softened his attitude until he was sure that the spell poison was completely insurmountable.Zachary frowned when he heard a cold yet pleasant inquiry lazily coming from behind him, "Who are you?"Keenan stood aloof, looking at Lone High with a nose, and nodded along, "Zach's got a good point."After the Gale Watts case, Zachary has considered slowly pushing the

    The more Zachary thought about it, the more likely it was, and volunteered to confess his thoughts, "Are you after me?"Keenan came back from cleaning up, fleshed out and surprised, thinking he'd finally gotten the hang of it, "How so?""Because I dumped you with a whimper, and you tried to dump me back, and I cried bitter tears, so we're both barely even." Zachary blinks at him, and with a twitch of his brain, suddenly says, "How about right now."Keenan's face faded down, heart really, he leaned toward the back of the chair, his eyes some thin dangerous: "Now what, I chase you, you promise, then I dumped you, two minutes to get it done, you and I grudges two eliminated, never see each other again, is this what it means?""Of course not, then wouldn't our previous relationship be child's play?"Zachary shook his head, "No matter what I've done to break your heart, there hasn't been a single moment for the four years we've been together that I have

    Password

    Zachary typed in the password as Keenan read it, and suddenly lurched, finally realizing that the inexplicably familiar string of numbers was his birthday, "You're still on your old phone?"Zachary looked closely, the paintings in the show were all human figures, familiar with the large color stacks and twisted lines of the netherworld painting style he had read about so many times in the art room of the lab building, "Oooh, this could be a genre, the underground overdrive style?"But Dulce Hooper's soul has gone. How can a body without a soul move fraudulently?Naturally, Callum Luna's ramblings alone don't count, Zachary: "How can they be sure it's Roderick Luna?"His head was groggy from the low fever, and he had residual pain all over his body, and he didn't want to move at all, but he might have overslept a bit, and he didn't want to go back to sleep, so he started swiping at his phone.Zachary guessed that they did not dare to easily give up

    When he got up again, there was a hazy, pale light, and Zachary braced himself, and it was like he'd been run over by a car, and after the shock had passed through him, and the soreness danced in every bone, and stabbed a little bit at his joints, and his arm collapsed, and he fell back down again."It was him." Keenan phrased, "Six months after you evaporated, he was arrested for illegal proselytizing, and when I was sorting through my materials, I found a notebook I'd borrowed from him, with a piece of paper sandwiched between it with a messy yardage drawn on it, which I thought at first was draft paper, but realized it wasn't any formulas or mind maps, and when I looked at it closely there was some regularity to it, very much like some kind of writing, and which I've since turned over to the police up."He was all but as brooding as he had been when he arrived, but that oily, don't-touch-anyone-against-me asshole look was a turn-off.Then the stomach growled.

    Keenan smoothed his suit, didn't care if the steps were dirty, and sat down next to Zachary, choking on the strong smell of cigarette smoke, but Zachary's silence, which was even cloudier than the smoke, choked him even more, like a little burnt edge, a little hot, a little painful.Zachary automatically ignored Keenan's increasingly out of bounds mannerisms of late, his cold mind forming a set of logic he could best accept; he just had to act like he was in a dream.Johnathon Ramirez needless to say, although it is difficult to see the position, but it is also after he topped the Special Investigation Brigade was not disbanded, and he is in charge of the Special Investigation Brigade for so many years of the old boss, even if the crowd often behind the back of the arrangement, but also still recognize his ability, recognize the identity of the 8 of the Unified Control.Luna's family in the open that point, everyone has spread rotten, now the most hopeful heir i

The young constable, seeing this for the first time, fell to the ground in fear, his high pitched scream cutting through the night sky of the city hall and drawing in the others.Zachary, however, couldn't care less about the chaos of the bureau, and he clutched the yellow talisman, a treasure hunt he knew all too well, the glazed box that once held the nine parts of Khalil Hobbs's body, hidden away on a rainy night in the mountains of Ushant, and poured out into the madness that is him impermanence and insanity.It had taken him years to slowly climb out of the overgrown mud - at least superficially - and stop worrying those around him, but those behind him were afraid that he would be too good to be true, grabbing the hem of him orange-red dress and tugging it down to help him remember what it was like to be parted from him bitterness and hatred. .How much does he have to be hated, who did he blow up in him last life, or
