“You are?” the Cromwell family’s doctor turned around at the voice.

A young girl stood before him, her long black hair cascading down, biting into a piece of fruit candy. She looked quite young, but her face was so strikingly beautiful that it was hard to ignore. Her demeanor was cool, yet elegant, and a mole at the corner of her eye gave her an almost ethereal charm. Her deep, dark eyes seemed to exude a quiet but powerful presence, making anyone she looked at feel a subtle pressure.

Manager Monroe quickly spoke up, “Steven, this is the little miracle doctor I brought…”

“Nonsense!”

Before Manager Monroe could finish, a sharp reprimand cut him off.

“You greedy little girl again.” The voice of Evelyn Adler came as she slowly entered the room. Her gaze swept over Amelia, and her expression darkened. “So, you’re here to scam people because you can’t get paid, huh?”

She shouted, “Who let this person in? Was there no one to check on them?”

Hearing her shout, the attending doctor rushed ove

    The one speaking was none other than Richie, who had been staring at him all along. Richie stepped closer and closer to Stanley's hiding spot, each step echoing loudly, as if shattering Stanley's defenses.Stanley whispered, "Mr. Kennedy, please show some mercy. Can you let me go this time? Whatever you want, I can give it to you—money, women, anything."Richie looked at him with disdain. "Those things don't interest me at all." As he spoke, he took out his phone, dialed the governor of a state, and handed the phone to Stanley. "The governor said to call him the moment you were caught. He wants to say a few words to you."Stanley took the phone with trembling hands and held it to his ear, only to hear the man on the other end angrily rebuke him: "Stanley, you've been with me for so many years. Even back when you were competing with others for the deputy director position, I suspected you did something dirty, but I didn't expose you. I never thought you'd go this far. Do you think no o

    After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two hung up the phone, as the matter had yet to be resolved.He then looked at everyone and said, "Let's go. We'll head to your place, Rodney, first, and tonight I'll take you all to the banquet."Elijah blinked and asked, "A banquet? Does that mean food? Will there be a lot of people?"Reginald smiled, "Of course, there will be a lot of people at a banquet."Elijah rubbed his nose, "I don't like crowded places. It feels like everyone is so fake. Even though they're all smiling, it's just on the surface."Reginald patted Elijah, "Don't worry. Just stick with me, Reginald, and all you need to do is eat and drink."Elijah took a deep breath, "Alright."The driver had already brought the car around. Seeing this, everyone opened the doors and got in, heading toward the FBI.Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the FBI, where Rodney was already waiting for them.Reginald was the first to get out of the car when he saw this, walking toward Rodney

    The only thing Reginald was worried about was Christina. As long as Christina returned safely, even though someone had reported him, there wasn't enough substantial evidence. If they wanted to bring him down, it would require forcing him to confess.Christina looked at Reginald with concern: "Dad, did they do anything to you?"Reginald shook his head: "No, they have to wait for the investigation."Christina said in a low voice: "Rodney is here too. Let Rodney get you out."Upon hearing this, Reginald's eyes sharpened: "Rodney's position is special. If he gets me out, it will cause even more discussion, and his own position might be at risk."Christina looked at Reginald: "Then what should we do now?"Reginald flicked his fingers: "Wait.""Wait?" Christina was puzzled. "Given the current situation, what are we waiting for?"Reginald's eyes grew deeper, but he didn't answer the question directly: "Where is Gavin now?""We sent him to the FBI, along with the USB drive. Garfield was sent

    Gavin was momentarily stunned. He glanced at the weapons in his subordinates' hands, then at the unarmed Elijah, and mocked, "Last time you just got lucky. Do you really think you're invincible now?"After saying this, he turned to his men and said, "Have some fun with him." Then he walked over to a chair nearby.Reginald was nowhere to be seen here; he must have returned to the Gorney Group. The Gorney Group was under investigation, and as the deputy mayor, he naturally had to check on things.With Gavin's order not to spare Elijah, his men showed no mercy, raising their weapons and slashing toward Elijah.Elijah merely sneered. As the weapons came at him, he extended two fingers and firmly caught the blade between them. The attacker was stunned, using all his strength but unable to move the weapon, as if it were stuck.With a gentle squeeze, Elijah snapped the weapon in two.Seeing this, the rest of the men charged at Elijah. Elijah sighed, moved with lightning speed, then stomped h

    "You're quite clever, secretly moving Garfield, but it doesn't change anything. By the way, I want the original USB drive. If it's just a backup, then you can wait until your next life to see your daughter again."However, the voice had been processed just in case. If Reginald had recorded the original sound, things would become much more complicated.Reginald's fingers tightened around his phone, his knuckles turning white: "Leave my family out of this. You can come after me, but threatening me with my daughter? What kind of cowardice is that?"Gavin's voice was cold and devoid of emotion: "You brought this on yourself. I'm barely hanging onto my own life, and you expect me to talk about morals? Am I crazy?""Check your email," Gavin continued.Reginald hurriedly opened the computer beside him and clicked on the latest received video. On the screen, Christina was tied to a metal chair, tape over her mouth, tears and terror in her eyes."Christina!" Reginald shouted uncontrollably, fe

    The burly man shook his head and looked at Elijah: "What did you just do?"Elijah spread his hands: "Well, how can you be so clueless? You flew out on your own and still ask me what I did."After hearing this, the burly man shouted angrily: "Everyone, get him together! This kid is a bit strange."The others didn't waste words and surged toward Elijah, encircling him as if drawing a prison on the ground. As for Reginald, who stood aside, they weren't worried—just an old man, unable to run, easy to take down at any time.Seeing the situation around him, Elijah frowned slightly: "Why aren't you moving yet? I have things to do later, don't waste my time."The burly man at the back spoke up: "This kid sure talks big! Get him!"As soon as he finished speaking, the men surrounding Elijah raised their fists and swung at him. Elijah, seeing this, instantly crouched down, causing their punches to miss.Taking advantage of the gap, Elijah extended his right leg and kicked at their legs with grea
