Clearly, Amelia didn’t want to discuss the issue any further. She took a few steps forward, her black boots clicking against the ground, her long hair flowing down to her waist. Her legs were long and slender, her fair skin almost glowing.

But Carl still noticed something unusual about her right wrist. Suddenly, he raised her wrist, his dark eyes lowering as he asked, “What happened here?”

Amelia was unconcerned. “I must have scraped it against a tree while avoiding hitting the wrong person. It’s fine, I’ll take care of it when I get back…”

Her sentence was abruptly cut off.

It was because of Carl’s sudden movement. He leaned down, his lips brushing against her wrist. His touch was dangerously close, yet gentle and tender.

It wasn’t quite a kiss, but the coolness of his lips eased the burning sensation from her injury.

Amelia had never been this close to anyone before. She instinctively tried to pull her wrist away.

But Carl tightened his grip, his deep gaze lifting to meet her

    It was not just as the lady boss had said; the small red dot on her wrist looked even more like a mark."Boss, hearing you say that makes me tempted," Amelia smiled. "Could you introduce me? If I could become a member, I'd pay any amount."The lady boss paused. "Sister, you know I can't make that decision, but I can help you ask. Whether the club owner will do me this favor is hard to say."Amelia nodded. "It's fine. It's already great that you're willing to help me. Whether I can get into the club depends on my luck."The lady boss smiled. "Alright, go down and eat quickly, or the food will get cold and won't taste good. I'll go next door to the club now and ask for you.""Thank you so much, sister," Amelia said sweetly. "Beautiful and kind-hearted, I should learn from you.""You're too good at giving compliments," the lady boss couldn't hide her smile. "If I don't get you a membership, I'll be embarrassed to see you again."Amelia's

    Amelia glanced over and said, "It's fine, let him run. This way, he can go warn Mystic Vale that someone is looking for him."Elijah nodded. Just as he threw the two people to the ground, he saw black blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, and their breathing had already stopped."This..." Elijah scratched his head. "I didn't use that much force. How did they die?"Amelia's gaze was calm. "They had poison hidden in their mouths. If they realized they couldn't win, they'd bite down and die from the toxin."Carl walked over. "Some people in the town died because their vital energy dissipated, while others were unaffected. We still need to resolve this matter.""For what they did, there must have been a medium... Usually, it's a magical weapon." Amelia's eyes fell on the black beads on the wrist of the person lying on the ground. "Maybe it's this string of beads, plus the drugs used to control the victims."With that, Amelia walked s

    The young man was stunned: "Impossible, I've felt so energetic these past few days, and..."Before he could finish speaking, his entire body suddenly aged at an incredible speed. In just a few seconds, his hair turned completely white, his face was covered in wrinkles, his complexion was as pale as paper, his lips turned purple, and his breathing became so faint it was almost undetectable.The woman nearby was terrified and panicked: "What... what is happening?"Amelia's eyes deepened: "When vital energy is gone, a person will age rapidly.""What about the others..." The woman still hadn't recovered: "There are some others who also took the magic tonic given by that old man.""Did you take it?" Amelia looked at the woman.The woman shook her head desperately: "No, I put the medicine in a box."The young man instantly became an old man, and even his voice changed: "What... what happened to me?"Amelia stepped forward and skillfu

    "Interesting." Chilton gave a pale smile. "Everything I've done has been for Miami, unlike some people who only care about immediate gains." As he spoke, his eyes stared straight at the governor of a state.The governor of a state looked up and met his gaze. "Are you implying something about me?""Who else could I mean?" Chilton sneered. "You've done just as much as I have, but no one dares to hold you accountable, simply because you're the governor of a state."The governor of a state's voice grew deeper. "Chilton, in front of everyone today, you can say anything I've done. If there's even one thing I've done wrong, I'll resign myself."He admired Chilton—capable and ambitious. He had originally planned to give Chilton his position upon retirement, but Chilton was simply too impatient."Are you serious?" Chilton's eyes brightened. "A few years ago, I passed by a café and saw you having coffee with the head of the Department of Justice

    The governor of the state interrupted him: "Mr. Tindall, aren't you being a bit too hasty? This matter is only Ms. Cromwell's side of the story, and you've already confirmed it? Doesn't the accused deserve a chance to explain themselves?""Oh?" Chilton smiled faintly. "How does the governor of the state wish to explain?"The governor of the state slowly stood up: "First of all, this card is not in my account. It's obviously a fabricated lie. Second, how did Ms. Cromwell find out that this account belongs to me?"Chilton looked at Amelia: "Ms. Cromwell, tell the truth. Everyone present here is capable of distinguishing right from wrong."The governor of the state also looked at Amelia: "Ms. Cromwell, forging evidence and obstructing justice carries legal responsibility.""Legal responsibility?" Amelia narrowed her eyes, pretending to be a bit nervous. "This..."Seeing this, Chilton said in a deep voice: "Ms. Cromwell, do you have nothing to s

    After a while, Elijah stopped and looked at Amelia: "Boss, it's done!"Hearing this, Amelia walked over, turned on the surveillance, and found the recording of her conversation with Chilton."Save this segment," Amelia's thin lips curled slightly. "Now Chilton is finished."Elijah nodded, his fingers sliding as he re-edited that video.After Amelia saved the video, she called the governor of a state: "Governor, everything is ready. When the meeting starts, Chilton won't have any chance to turn things around."The governor replied in a deep voice: "Good, I'll leave it to you. Expose his true colors on the spot."Amelia's gaze was calm: "Of course."The governor responded with a hum: "When Seattle contacted me before, I thought it was unreliable, but your performance changed my view of Seattle. For so long, Miami has looked down on Seattle, but now it seems we were the narrow-minded ones.""That's because many people just repeat rumors without seeing for themselves, yet they believe wha
