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

    Amelia and Carl sat there, their eyes tinged with amusement as they looked at Tilden. "Why are you out here, Tilden?""How did you... find out?" Tilden's body stiffened. "I made a mess of this place on purpose, so you'd be convinced I had already left.""You think your tricks are that clever? Think no one could see through them? You're just fooling yourself." Amelia's eyes lifted slightly. "In a place like this, who else but you would use such high-end cologne?"Tilden's face turned deathly pale in an instant. He knew he had been exposed, and at this point, he had no options left. Suddenly, he pulled a knife from his pocket and lunged at Amelia.Amelia was already prepared. She sidestepped, and as a result, Tilden ran straight toward the stairwell.Seeing this, Amelia let out a faint laugh. With a light step, she moved even faster than him, grabbing his collar with one hand and placing the other on Tilden's stomach. Tilden doubled over in pain, dro

    Upon hearing this, Tobey's eyes darted around. Seizing the moment when Amelia turned away with Vinnie in her arms, he suddenly crouched down, grabbed a dagger, and stabbed straight at Amelia.It was as if Amelia had eyes on her back; the instant he attacked, she shifted her body, and the dagger missed its mark."Do you think your life is too long?" Amelia's voice was cold. "Don't worry, I'll grant your wish. Once Vinnie's tendons are reconnected, he'll deal with you himself."Upon hearing this, Vinnie, whose eyes had been empty and hopeless, suddenly looked as if he'd heard an angel speak. "Sister, did you just say my tendons can be reconnected?"Amelia nodded gently. "If we were an hour later, even a celestial being couldn't help. Luckily, we made it in time."When Amelia bent down earlier, she briefly checked his condition: his pulse was weak, his breathing faint, and the situation was indeed critical. The dark and damp environment only worsened

    Marco's body paused almost imperceptibly, clearly understanding the hidden meaning in Amelia's words. He remained silent for a few seconds, sizing up Amelia and Carl from head to toe, as if trying to determine their identities and intentions."I'm not the one who can make this decision," Marco's expression softened a bit. "I'll go ask the manager. Please wait at the entrance for a moment."After ten minutes, Marco came out and gestured for them to enter. "The boss would like to see you."The two exchanged a glance and slowly followed Marco into the bar.Inside, the bar was dimly lit, the air thick with the mingled scents of alcohol and tobacco. Behind the counter stood a man in a black shirt. He looked quite young, with a cynical smile on his face, and was wiping a glass with a rag. There were no other customers in the bar, making the place feel rather empty."And you are?" The man in the black shirt put down the glass, his gaze sweeping over Ameli

    This was the first time she felt truly helpless. Even though everything was happening right before her eyes, she couldn't stop any of it, and that made Amelia's heart sink to the bottom.Hamza's body lay on the ground like a kite with its string cut, completely motionless."Grandpa, wake up!" Amelia's voice was almost hysterical. It was as if her body was isolated, and she could only watch the tragedy unfold.Ruby was stunned by the scene, then burst into tears and ran to Hamza's body.But the black beam of light flashed again, this time striking Ruby's back. She didn't even have time to turn around before her body went limp and collapsed onto Hamza, blood flowing from their wounds, staining the ground and Amelia's vision red."Grandpa, Mom." A wave of powerlessness surged in her heart, her fingertips digging deep into her palm until blood seeped out, but the invisible restraints only tightened, leaving her unable to move. Cold sweat poured down he

    "Tilden?" Vinnie's face changed instantly when he heard the name. "You're looking for him?"Seeing this, Amelia raised her eyebrows. "Yes, I'm looking for him.""I don't know." Vinnie turned away. "So you people are that kind too. Just go straight and turn right to leave here. Let's pretend we never met."Amelia looked puzzled. "What kind of people?""What kind do you think?" Vinnie's gaze grew colder. "Everyone knows Tilden sells drugs. Lots of people come here looking for him. I thought you weren't one of them, but I guess I was wrong."Vinnie's father was an addict, so he hated drugs. He knew how they could destroy families, but people seemed bewitched, always coming to Tilden to buy. Even when they ran out of money, they'd find ways to steal or rob."You're overthinking it." Amelia smiled lightly. "Do we look like drug users to you?"Vinnie glanced at them. "Really not?""Really not." Amelia's voice was calm. "You just said

    Amelia followed the gaze and looked over: "A feeling?""Yeah!" Jolie nodded, "I think I saw a big sister lying on the ground, not moving at all."Amelia was a bit surprised: "How did you see that?""Um... I just suddenly saw it." Jolie touched her little head, looking completely innocent.Amelia looked deeply at Jolie, then moved her steps toward the dilapidated building.The old building looked at least several decades old, with mottled walls, broken windows, and a pitch-black hallway filled with the smell of mold and urine.The stairs were wooden. Amelia took the lead, and every step she took was accompanied by the creaking of the stair boards, as if they might break at any moment."Jolie, which floor and which room did you see the big sister in?" Amelia held Jolie with one arm, walking through the darkness.Jolie stuck her head out and pointed to one of the rooms on the second floor: "Over there."Amelia followed her gaze and saw the room number: 205."Elijah, take Jolie to the pla
