LOGIN"Mr. Lee?"
The person speaking looked at him in confusion.
Chris didn’t care about the influence these people had in LA. He grabbed one of them and asked, "It’s her. Do you know this streamer?"
The person was stunned. "Mr. Lee, this is the business association. She’s just a small-time streamer..."
"What do you know!" Chris didn’t say the rest of his thoughts aloud, but his irritation was clear. "Forget it, I&rsquo
Not only did it shatter the deathly silence in the room, but it also became the only sound that could bring Carl peace at that moment.He sat on the only genuine leather chair beside the hospital bed, his posture still upright like an ancient pine or cypress, not leaning at all, his back perfectly straight. The chair was steady beneath him, without the slightest movement. He seemed to have merged completely with the cold hospital room.Carl's gaze never once left Amelia's face.His eyes were as deep as the vast sea, as calm as an ancient pool, holding the weight of countless ages and a hidden gentleness invisible to others.His gaze slowly swept over her tightly furrowed brows. Even in her coma, she remained subconsciously tense, as if she were still on the battlefield of the Soul-Binding Forests, confronting that man, protecting those behind her and all living beings.He reached out, his fingertips hovering half an inch above her brows, moving so
Elijah crouched down, his small palm tightly gripping Amelia's hand.He buried his little head in her clothes and whispered softly, "Amelia, please be alright. You have to get better soon and take Elijah to eat delicious meat."Carl glanced down at him but did not say anything else. At this moment, Amelia indeed needed someone murmuring by her ear.In less than two minutes, the roar of an engine grew from distant to near. A modified black off-road vehicle shot to the edge of the forest like an arrow released from a bow, its tires screeching against the ground as it came to a steady stop in front of everyone. The driver immediately jumped out, opened the rear door, and said urgently, "The car is ready!"Carl said no more, cradling Amelia in his arms. In a flash, he sat in the back seat, his movements gentle yet swift, fearing that even the slightest jolt would disturb the gravely injured Amelia in his embrace.Elijah also climbed into the car at onc
Crossing the turbulent, dark currents of the Severed Demon River, the Fiendish Spirits along the way sensed the dissipating millennial demonic power and intense malice emanating from him. They all shrank back into their lairs, trembling with fear, not daring to make a single sound.After rushing all the way, his physical strength was depleting more and more severely. The man felt waves of darkness before his eyes, and his original soul essence sent stabbing pains through his body—signs of the grievous wounds inflicted by Amelia.He clenched his teeth tightly, his tongue pressed against his teeth, the metallic taste of blood spreading in his mouth. Mystic Vale's warning echoed repeatedly in his mind: "If things become impossible, withdraw immediately. Do not linger in battle, and never risk yourself. Come straight to me, and I will handle everything else."Only by reaching the place Mystic Vale had mentioned could he finally lower his guard for a moment and
The man across from them took in everything before him.He slowly raised his head, his dark eyes sweeping over Carl, then lingering on Carl's hand pressing down on Elijah's shoulder, and finally settling on Amelia. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, the hint of a smile concealing a knowing amusement."So that's how it is."The man's voice was low and pleasant, like jade striking jade, yet carried a chill that seemed to pierce the bone.He slowly raised his hand, beckoning lightly in Carl's direction with his fingertip. A faint stream of dark energy drifted toward Carl, brushing past the barrier formed by his Spiritual Power and landing on his shoulder.Carl's body suddenly froze, a ripple flashing through his black eyes. The black mist around him instantly thickened several times over. He let out a muffled groan and abruptly stepped back.Amelia's heart tightened. She was about to step forward, but the man raised his hand to stop h
The Evil Energy that could even make Amelia feel a sharp sting fell on Elijah like gentle water, flowing slowly along his skin. Instead of draining his life energy, it was gently absorbed by his body and completely merged within him.A faint, dark golden radiance, imperceptible to others, surrounded him. This was a strange power from deep within his body, which completely neutralized the devouring force of the Evil-Energy Gathering and Soul-Binding Formation. It even treated the Evil Energy and the resentment of departed spirits within the formation as nourishment for itself.Elijah spun around curiously, the decaying leaves beneath his feet crackling as the Evil Energy froze them, yet he felt utterly comfortable, as if he were soaking in the most pleasant warm water.He reached out to grab a wisp of thick, bluish-gray mist, brought it to his nose and sniffed lightly. His small face was full of joy, and he muttered softly, "So comfortable, much more fun than any
"And the scene was spotless, as if no one had ever set foot there. The state issued a direct order for me to take over."She frowned slightly, her fingertips tapping gently on her arm, as a powerful intuition sounded a frantic alarm in her mind: "This was definitely not an ordinary disappearance. Ordinary people could never leave without a single trace. The search dogs refused to go forward—there was only one possibility: a formation had been set there, and evil spirits were at work in the shadows. Those young people were not missing; they had been forcibly taken, and may have already met with misfortune."Carl's gaze was calm: "We'll know what happened once we take a look."Amelia nodded without the slightest delay, for those seven people were living lives at stake.Amelia picked up her phone and quickly dialed the special unit, her voice cold and decisive: "Notify all members to assemble at the Soul-Binding Forests of Mistpeak Mountains in ten min
Amelia's voice was calm and light: "Do you have people in Mexico?""Of course, that's my first home," Colten replied with a hint of pride at the corner of his eyes. "I can't speak for other places, but when it comes to Mexico, I'm more than familiar."Amelia smiled faintly: "Let's find a place to h
When the crowd heard this, they all returned to their seats. This was the first time there had ever been a hidden item; such a situation had never occurred before.Two staff members carefully carried a tray covered with white silk onto the stage. On the tray was an object protected by a glass dome,
She immediately bent down, carefully removed the metal clip, and spoke softly: "Alfonso, I'm here."Alfonso slowly raised his head. When he saw Amelia, a flash of surprise and relief appeared in his eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but only a hoarse whimper came out. The intense pain in
Carl smiled faintly. "Alright, I get to taste your cooking again."A moment later, the others dispersed, leaving only Amelia, Carl, and Victoria in the courtyard."Grandma, let's go inside." Amelia supported Victoria. "I'll make you something to eat."Amelia helped Victoria t
