Horace could feel a cold stare directed at him; he immediately looked up. But there was no one there—Eden was absorbed in her mobile, and Alain’s gaze was fixed on Eden. He was taken aback.Alain shifted his focus and thought for a moment before saying, "Look for him at the Agency."Eden’s hands paused when she heard this, and she glanced at Alain.Noticing her look, Alain turned to her and asked, "What’s wrong?""It’s nothing," Eden replied, slowly averting her gaze.Alain glanced at her but said nothing further."Don’t tell me he’s at the Agency? That’s so cunning. He must know going there is like signing his own death warrant," Horace said, dismissing the idea of King Cobra hiding at the Agency."Where else can he go in Rielton besides the Agency?" Alain raised an eyebrow, his eyes cold.Horace instinctively shrank back, not daring to meet his gaze. "You’re right. King Cobra knows Rielton is our territory. The Agency’s territory is the safest place for him, but how can we de

Alain burst out laughing, his eyes full of affection."I'll charge just 1% interest. How does that sound?""Deal," Eden agreed without hesitation.She suddenly realized that using her boyfriend's money didn’t feel so bad after all.Horace looked at the two of them and felt like he'd had his fill of their lovey-dovey moment.After dinner, on their way back to the Ward residence, Eden sent another message to King Cobra.You’ve been exposed. Someone's heading to the Agency to find you. Tell Arctic Hawk to disguise you.The reply came quickly.Darn, who are these people? How are they so skilled? Didn’t you already change my location?Eden glanced at Alain, noticing he was resting with his eyes closed. She turned her attention back to the message, staying silent for a moment.The ones chasing you today.King Cobra was speechless. These people were relentless!Sure. I trust Arctic Hawk’s skills. I’ll wait at the Agency and see if they can identify me. Thanks.Eden didn’t reply a

However, Eden was different. She wasn’t from the Hunt family, nor was she a naive country girl. She had medical skills, understood how society worked, and had her own way of handling things.She didn’t care how others viewed her or about the details. She did whatever she liked, however she liked.She wasn’t just a skilled medical practitioner. She was also Nosoi, a figure countless people begged and bribed to meet.Nosoi’s reputation was widespread. Powerful and influential families were willing to spend fortunes just to locate her. Yet, no one had ever seen her face, and few had managed to find her.Nosoi had a peculiar personality. She didn’t care how much money was offered. She also considered the patient's character. She wouldn’t save someone with a bad character, no matter how much they offered. But if they had a good character, she might save them for free.Julius knew of ten patients who had received Nosoi’s treatment, all from wealthy families with good reputations. Among

Late at night, in a mansion on the outskirts of the city.A man sat on a sofa in the lavish mansion, holding a glass of red wine. His eyes were fixed on the glass, radiating an imposing presence.A man dressed in black stood before him."Sir," the man said respectfully, his head lowered. "Julius was poisoned, but Eden didn't save him.""Oh?" The man raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. "It seems I've underestimated her. She’s keeping her cool quite well.""Maybe we're mistaken. Maybe Eden really doesn't have any medical skills. According to the information from the Ward family, the one who treated Alain is Sulien, who’s always by his side. Should we shift our focus to him instead?""It’s just a ploy to deceive you," the man said, sipping his wine. He stood up, his demeanor cool. "If Sulien could truly treat the Seductress’s Sanguine, why would he let it drag on for half a year? Only the fools from the Ward family would believe that."The man in the suit frowned. "So, you think

However, he was already familiar with these two.Earlier, when K had asked him to investigate Alain and Jerred, he dug deeper and discovered the connections between Alain and the people around him. These two were Alain’s associates.And one of them was the scion of Rielton’s Brook family.Interesting.He wondered what King Cobra had done to attract so much attention that they would go so far as to search for him within the Agency.Horace smiled, his silver earring catching the light from the lamp. The reflection was somewhat distracting.He pulled out an ID and showed it to Liam. "This is my ID."Liam examined the ID, his eyes narrowing slightly. After a moment, he handed it back to Horace. "The Agency is registered with the government. They have no reason, nor the ability, to start anything with us.""It’s just a misunderstanding, Mr. Liam. We’re simply doing a routine check-up," Horace replied with a smile. "We just want to look around so that we can submit a report later."

After leaving the Agency, Horace immediately called Alain to explain the situation."Have someone keep an eye on the Agency. He has to be there," Alain said before abruptly hanging up.Horace stared at the disconnected call, thinking it over.Caelus glanced at him. "What did he say?""He told us to keep an eye on the place. King Cobra has to be in the Agency," Horace replied, turning to look in the Agency's direction. He furrowed his brows and mumbled, "But I’m sure King Cobra isn’t there. What does he mean?"Caelus was quiet for a moment before suddenly remembering something. He slammed his hand on the car door. "I remember now! The Agency's Arctic Hawk is a legendary makeup artist, and her skills are godlike. Anyone she disguises can look like a completely different person."Horace stroked his chin. "Now that you mention it, I remember we requested Arctic Hawk’s help once. She disguised Xander so that he could return to the country from overseas.""Exactly! King Cobra is one o

"Of course!" Quin said, raising her head. "If you have the ability, go in on your own merits. Don’t rely on Alain to take you in."Eden nodded with a roguish smile. "That’s fine by me."She then set down her sling bag and rummaged through it until she found an invitation. Handing it to the security guard, she pointed toward Alain, Caelus, and Horace. "They’re with me."The security guard looked at the invitation in surprise. "A golden invitation? You are...?""It’s an invitation personally sent by the patriarch. Do you need to confirm it?" Eden asked."No. Please come in. I’ll guide your friends to you once they’re ready," the security guard replied respectfully.Eden nodded, then turned to Quin. "Is it alright if I rather they don’t participate in the auction this time?""I..." The security guard hesitated, his expression conflicted."It’s okay. I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll inform the Parkers’ patriarch..." Eden began.Before she could finish, the security guar

The security guard then explained everything that had happened to Skylar, waiting for his decision.Skylar looked at Eden in surprise.He was the one who had personally written and sent out the invitation, but the person he sent it to was Liam from the Agency.The Parker family wasn’t one of Rielton’s four prominent families, and their status had been precarious for years. They had only decided to sell their family’s greatest treasure, the Bloodgod Herb, out of necessity.Skylar was certain the auction wouldn’t go smoothly, which was why he sought help from other families.The four prominent families did offer their support, but each wanted the Bloodgod Herb for themselves. They agreed to help only to prevent the herb from falling into the hands of an old-money family.He wanted the Agency’s help to maintain order at the auction, but it was difficult to contact Liam Robertson, the Agency’s point person. The Agency typically only took on information-gathering tasks or high-risk jo
