Elijah twitched his nose and leaned in closer. "Something’s off. She’s not like ordinary people."

Amelia knew that Elijah hadn’t fully recovered yet, but given his unique abilities, if he said someone was abnormal, it was usually due to one of two reasons—either they had lost a part of their soul, or they were carrying some kind of dark energy.

Her gaze deepened.

No matter the reason, she couldn’t just ignore it.

Letting someone like that roam the streets wasn’t safe.

"Let’s go check it out." Amelia removed her helmet with a smooth motion, exuding confidence.

It wasn’t too late at night, and a few passersby had stopped to watch, but no one dared to step forward and help.

After all, the woman seemed… off. Almost like she wasn’t fully conscious of her surroundings.

She grabbed anyone nearby, asking if they had seen her daughter.

The way she behaved—combined with the fact that she was wearing a hospital gown—made the situation all the more eerie.

"Is she a mental patient who escaped?"

    She tilted her head slightly, her long hair cascading down her back. Under her wide sleeves, her slender, fair wrist was adorned with a translucent jade bracelet, exuding an unmistakable aura of nobility. "Young lady, your medical skills are far better than you claim.""They’re alright." Amelia removed the needles and gave a few instructions. "Madam, as your doctor likely told you, letting go of certain things will ease your mind."The woman paused before smiling. "Young lady, do you and your brother have any plans later?"Amelia had been about to say she needed to head home.But the look in the woman’s eyes told her she was hoping she would say no.So Amelia shook her head.The woman brightened. "Then let me treat you both to some drinks! Oh, right, kids shouldn’t drink alcohol. Your brother can have cola. How about fried chicken?"Amelia wasn’t particularly hungry.But Elijah’s eyes lit up like stars, and he immediately nodded, tugging at Amelia’s sleeve with righteous determination

    Amelia had always respected her teachers. She clinked her beer glass against the woman's.The woman smiled even more happily. "Little one, has anyone ever told you that you're far more mature than your peers? It's actually quite likable. Being with you puts me in a good mood.""Maybe it's just that our energies align," Amelia replied, picking up a French fry. She rarely let her guard down so naturally with anyone.The woman's temperament was like water—tolerant and open-minded. Even Elijah wouldn’t act aggressively around her.Before, Amelia had thought only her grandmother had this kind of gentle presence.Now, she had met another person like that—yet a complete stranger.Amelia found it quite unbelievable.The woman let out a low chuckle. "No one has ever liked me when I'm having an episode."Amelia's hand paused for a moment.The woman continued, "Letting you see me in such an embarrassing state… But in a way, I’m grateful. If I hadn’t had an episode, I might never have met you."A

    Outside the Caesar Hotel, Jerry was in a hurry.Wasn’t he previously an assistant to someone else?Amelia swirled her beer glass, a hint of doubt in her gaze.Could it be that the woman she had saved was from the Jenkins family?Jerry hadn’t expected to run into that fake heiress from the Milton family here in New York.No matter what, he didn’t want to see her.Last time, for some unknown reason, she had saved Young Master Si’s life.He had only casually mentioned her bad reputation to the boss.As a result, the boss had sent him back to New York.Some said it was a blessing.A blessing? Only staying by the boss’s side was a true blessing.After returning to New York, he had been gradually distanced from the core of the Jenkins family's power.In the end, he had no choice but to take some documents and transfer to the Cromwell family. Only now had he started to regain some standing.But the nature of the work was different—he had to take care of Mrs. Cromwell, who was prone to episod

    Doctor? This fake heiress?Jerry could believe that the true heiress of the Milton family had exceptional medical skills. After all, she had cured Old Mr. Fisher’s illness and was now well-known in New York.But this fake one? Jerry had no comments.After all, Madam’s illness meant she wasn’t a normal person.When Mr. Cromwell arrived, Jerry would report everything that had happened today."Go to work first." Before leaving, Amelia whispered in the woman’s ear in a low voice, "If you don’t want to go back to your old job, you can come to me. We’re currently hiring."The woman’s eyes lit up as she watched Amelia’s departing figure, clearly reluctant to part.But everyone had to return home eventually.As soon as Amelia left, Zane arrived. His face was anxious, his brows tightly furrowed, but when he saw the woman, he finally breathed a sigh of relief."I told you to stay in your room and not run around. It’s dangerous outside!""And you drank alcohol?" Zane draped his suit jacket over

    Late at night, in a hotel suite.When Amelia and Elijah returned, Victoria was already asleep.They didn’t disturb her and moved to the living room to talk.Elijah typed on his laptop while looking up and gesturing: "They’re asking when you’ll meet them.""Not for now." Amelia was busy ordering a bunch of things online, all set to be delivered to her newly purchased courtyard house.Elijah sent a shaking-head emoji.The group chat instantly turned gloomy.But duty was duty."Tell the boss: a pregnant woman was in a car accident on the mountainside. The area is now sealed off, and once it reopens, trouble might follow."Elijah thought that sounded like too much hassle, especially since there was no money involved. He was about to refuse when Amelia took over his mini laptop, fingers tapping away."If it’s got all of you this worried, does that mean it’s formed a malevolent spirit?""Boss?!!!"The other side clearly got excited, flooding the chat with emojis."Exactly! The pregnant woma

    Amelia had never been this curious about a stranger before. “Look into her background and family relations.”Elijah got to work immediately. For L, digging up information was child’s play. He bypassed firewalls and hacked right in.Amelia reminded him, “This is New York—don’t be too flashy.”Elijah restrained himself, taking extra precautions to mask their IP address and leave no traces.Yet, after a long search, he found nothing.Elijah looked at her and shrugged.Amelia raised an eyebrow. “It’s been classified.”Elijah nodded.That made her think of a certain young master—could it be that all information related to the Jenkins family was this difficult to access?“Forget it.” Amelia yawned. “We’ll check again tomorrow.”There was no need to rush. The best way forward was still to help the woman find her child.As Amelia lay in bed, she wondered—surely the Crawford family wouldn’t be bold enough to use those methods in New York?Back in River County, that couple had admitted they did

    “Did she rent it just because the price was low?”“What else could it be? She’s definitely going to regret moving in!”“Well, not necessarily. That incident was years ago.”Under the ginkgo tree, a group of elderly men and women were gossiping in hushed tones.But as the saying goes—speak of the devil, and he shall appear.The young girl they were discussing arrived, carrying several bags filled with candies, red dates, fruits, and small wild ginseng.“Grandpas and grandmas, we just moved in. My name is Amelia, and this is my little brother, Elijah.”Today, Elijah was dressed brightly. To make it easier to work, he even wore a baseball cap. He stood there, nodding politely.The elderly loved children—especially ones like Elijah, whose face was both fierce and adorably round.In an instant, the atmosphere warmed considerably.“You even brought gifts?” One of the grandmothers spoke, though she couldn't help but look at Amelia with admiration.This younger generation—she was generous but

    “Rowan, I’m scared. I’m really scared.”The speaker was Barret Crawford, a member of the street racing group.Dark circles hung under his eyes as he curled up in a corner, refusing to let his family in. Only when Rowan arrived did he rush forward and grab his arm tightly.“I dreamt of Corey. He said… why are we still alive? He’s so cold down there… he wants us to join him.”At first, Rowan didn’t take it seriously. It made sense for Barret to be grieving excessively over a lost brother.But soon, he realized it wasn’t just Barret—both the Forbes’ and the Campbells were saying the same thing.The only difference was that they seemed less affected, likely because they were farther from the accident scene.“Rowan, do you think Corey blames us for what happened to him?”Adrian Forbes and Barney Campbell exchanged nervous glances.“Is that why he’s haunting our dreams?”Barney added in a low voice, “We didn’t mean to force that pregnant woman off the road…”Adrian nodded. “Corey just said

    Everything Carl had done in the industry proved one thing—he was not someone to mess with.Ruthless. Calculating. Deadly.He might look frail, but the people he dealt with were the true titans of power.Yet somehow, in front of his little sister, he became… harmless? Gentle?Fake! He’s obviously faking it!No brother in the world would ever approve of their sister’s boyfriend.Sebastian was no exception.Especially since this guy had once broken off the engagement!Everything else, he could accept.But Carl acting all soft and considerate around his sister? That was terrifying.This wasn’t how he handled people.Noticing Sebastian’s gaze, Carl turned to meet his eyes.His deep, fox-like eyes were unreadable—dark, bottomless.“I understand if Sixth Brother has an issue with me,” Carl spoke first, striking before the other could. His voice was calm, carrying a soft sigh, tinged with a hint of guilt. “I was wrong in the past. Maybe it’s because I never played with him as a child… or perh

    The other two nearly fainted on the spot, quickly hiding inside the amethyst pendant, too scared to come out.Everyone around the Master is a terrifyingly powerful existence...They couldn’t help but worry—would their presence, as malevolent spirits, affect the Master’s long-term fortune?But after seeing Chaos—they decided to keep quiet.After all, if the Master was bold enough to raise Chaos, she probably didn’t care about a little fortune imbalance.Meanwhile, Elijah sniffed the air, noticing a new scent on his boss.It smelled delicious.He instinctively rubbed his belly, then tilted his little face up, eyes locking onto the amethyst pendant, making hand gestures toward it.Amelia understood what he meant and pinched his soft, chubby cheek."They’re your little siblings now. You can’t eat them. Understood?"Can’t eat them?!Food can become siblings?Elijah’s tiger-like little face scrunched up.Fine. He’d reluctantly agree for now—he could always find another opportunity later.Af

    Amelia patted Elijah’s head and met Sebastian’s gaze."Sixth Brother, Elijah is my little brother."My little sister’s brother? That means he’s my brother too!Sebastian’s mindset shifted in an instant. He grinned at Elijah, just about to say something—When Carl suddenly turned Elijah around, revealing the QR code on his back."Elijah doesn’t speak, so I’ll speak for him. He likes money."Elijah usually disliked Carl.Something about the man’s presence always made him feel suffocated.That feeling was intangible—he couldn’t quite describe it.He just didn’t want to deal with him.Unfortunately, his boss was clearly blinded by good looks.Elijah had already asked the women on set about this.Apparently, his boss never showed interest in men, yet she was suddenly indulging this one.Clearly, she was captivated by his beauty.At first, Elijah wasn’t optimistic about this relationship.But as hacker L, he decided to do some digging—turns out, the Jenkins family was loaded.That was a plu

    "Very handsome."Ruby, with her elegant demeanor, spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.She hadn’t expected that her youngest son, upon seeing her, neither showed fear nor questioned why she was here.Instead, he naturally stepped in to help her.She was deeply moved.Meanwhile, Sebastian casually placed the milk tea on the table and turned to the dumbfounded young starlet and makeup artist."Take your time with the milk tea."His gaze locked onto the young starlet."Being an idol doesn’t mean thinking you're above others.""You should be grateful that cup of milk tea didn’t land on my mom’s face.""Otherwise, you'd never survive in this industry again."Ruby wanted to stop him—such direct words would only invite trouble.But Sebastian didn’t care."Mom, I was a rookie once too. Back then, I had to suck it up and endure everything on set. Look at her—she even mocks the staff.""I… I…" The young starlet’s face flushed red with embarrassment.The other crew members were watching.She had in

    In general, new assistants in the industry are given menial tasks.Especially those assigned to the outer edges of a set—they’re basically at everyone’s beck and call, running errands back and forth.Ruby had been deliberately pulled away by Elijah earlier, so she had no idea what had happened during the program recording.Elijah had acted strangely, doing everything possible to keep her from entering the inner set.It was only after she returned that Ruby found out her son was one of the guest participants.Now, with police cars outside and people constantly coming and going, she set down the milk tea that had been specifically requested by some celebrities and decided to ask around in the break room.“Excuse me, little sister, can I ask what happened on the show? Where’s Kina? Is he safe?”The so-called “celebrities” she had been delivering milk tea to were actually internet influencers from the same company, filming vertical short dramas in the adjacent studio.Sometimes, the small

    Sebastian’s eyes were already red with anger.“little sis, who is this Environmental Energy master you’re talking about?!”“We’re still investigating.” Amelia’s voice was calm and steady. “Sixth Brother, I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to act impulsively. The Earthly Fiend Array isn’t something an ordinary Environmental Energy master can set up. The person behind this must be on par with Master Cloudwalker.”Carl had been silent all this time. But upon hearing this, his eyes flickered with interest.“On par with Master Cloudwalker? That significantly narrows it down—not many fit that category.”“There aren’t many officially registered,” Amelia replied, pausing briefly. “But there could be others operating in the shadows—we’re still looking.”“That array was strange,” she continued. “Rather than simply bringing misfortune to the Cromwell family, it seemed more like someone was trying to steal the Cromwell family’s fortune.”Carl’s eyes narrowed, exuding an air of noble y

    Sebastian instinctively took a step back.The reason he had stayed away from home for so long—was fear.As a child, he had tried to make his mother happy by bringing home good grades.But by then, she was already sick, her emotions unstable.He had expected her to hit him. He would have preferred that—at least then, she would have reacted.Instead, she had looked at him like an empty doll, staring blankly outside as she asked, “Why didn’t you pay more attention? Did you really have to eat that candied hawthorn?”Then, she had started crying.Sometimes, she even hurt herself.The doctors diagnosed her with depression and warned them not to trigger her condition.Anything or anyone that might worsen her state had to stay away.Over time, her condition deteriorated—she lost hair, grew frail.Following medical advice, he and Fifth Brother avoided appearing in front of her.Then, their father brought that sponsored student home. At first, their mother had resisted fiercely.Sebastian still

    In the Earthbound Array, Amelia understood better than anyone how difficult it was to hold onto oneself. The person in question had already sacrificed too much—she didn’t want any more rifts in their family.As soon as Sebastian heard that his little sister wanted to introduce him to someone, he wasted no time. With a hat, sunglasses, and a mask in place, he showed up in front of Amelia, looking a little nervous.But his actions were quick—he handed over a black card in an instant.“Little sis, this is for you!”Sebastian had never been this straightforward before.In all of New York’s elite circles, he was known for being aloof and untouchable. The only two times he had lost his temper, he had beaten people up with a cold face.Everyone knew that if there was one person in the industry you shouldn’t provoke, it was the Cromwell family’s domineering troublemaker.Even Spencer and his group only dared to gossip about Amelia behind her back, never to her face. And that was because of Se

    Carl noticed her staring and raised an eyebrow slightly. "If you keep looking at me like that, I’ll think you’re about to charge me for medical fees again.""Medical fees?" Amelia didn’t immediately follow.Carl lifted a hand, touching his neck. He let out a soft chuckle, his voice so pleasant it was almost unnatural.That’s when Amelia finally saw the markings spreading down his neck.A series of Sanskrit symbols. To the untrained eye, they might look like tattoos.But in reality, they were a form of spirit-binding. Right beside them was the imprint of a red spider lily.Because the markings extended downward, and since he always wore collared shirts, she had never seen them fully before.Now that she had noticed, she wanted a clearer look. Without hesitation, she grabbed him and lightly pulled at his collar.It was well known—the red spider lily bloomed along the path to the underworld, guiding departed souls toward peace.Its meaning? The gentleness of a demon.Most people wouldn’t
