"Who dares to ransack my place?!"Fabian was also getting anxious. He had no idea when those men got in and out of his place. Now Elijah publicly proclaimed that he wanted to search Fabian's house in front of his henchmen. Where could he hide his face if he allowed Elijah to do so?Fabian straightened his back and stared Elijah down. The two men stared at each other, and neither would back down.On the other end, Maria and Michelle were still brawling. The two women's hair was a mess. At this moment, the phone that they were fighting over suddenly rang.The two of them froze for a moment before they grappled with each other for the phone.Ultimately, Maria managed to hold onto her phone and finally broke free. After stepping aside, she answered the call. "Hello? Hello?""What?!" Her terrified face and sudden, raised voice caused everyone's attention to turn toward her.Even Michelle, who was about to pounce on Maria again, was stunned momentarily as she stood frozen in place.
"Bullshit! I…"The phone kept ringing. Fabian gritted his teeth bitterly. Although he knew Elijah was prodding, this was no small matter. Even if Fabian had doubts, he did not think Rhea could do such a thing.In the end, he picked up the phone and put it on speaker before preemptively saying, "Ree, are you still experimenting? No matter how busy you are, remember to take care of yourself. By the way, the Fike family is here to see you. They have something to ask…"Initially, he wanted to hint to Rhea that other people were around so that she would watch her words. However, a strange voice interrupted him before he even finished speaking. "Mr. Moore! It's me! Something happened to Ms. Moore!"Fabian was so taken aback that he froze for a while before glancing at Elijah blankly. Only then did he realize that the voice came from the phone.He glanced at his phone and asked, "What did you say?""Something happened to Ms. Moore! There was an explosion in the factory, and the aftermat
"Wait a minute!" Michelle suddenly called out. "We're going too!""Even at this point, you still want to…" Hearing those words, Maria roared hysterically in anger.However, Fabian quickly grabbed her, glanced at the Fike couple, and said coldly, "That’s up to you!"Then the Moores got into the car and drove to the factory. Elijah quickly pulled his wife into his car and followed closely behind.The two cars sped down the road to an abandoned suburban factory. In the distance, they had already seen clouds of thick black smoke and the sound of sirens before they got close.The Moores reached the scene first, and the two jumped out of the car to rush forward. However, the cordon was there to stop them from going straight in. Only after a few exchanges of words were they allowed to pass.Soon, Elijah's car came to a stop. Michelle reached out and held his hands, her fingers cold. Then she asked calmly, "Do you think this is an act?""I don't know." Elijah pursed his lips tightly wit
Elijah and Michelle looked at each other before quickly following suit out of curiosity.The firefighters had covered the stretcher they carried out with a piece of cloth. Although everyone knew there was a person under it, no one knew who it was.However, Maria recognized the corner of the clothing that peaked out under the cloth. "Ree…" She pounced onto the stretcher.Fabian did not hold her back as she threw herself onto the stretcher, and it fell to the ground with a bang. She had also unintentionally pulled the cloth with her."Ah!" Her scream filled the air when she saw the face that belonged to the body.Michelle, who was right behind her, saw the body and gasped in fright. Elijah quickly reacted as he covered her eyes with his hand. "Don't look!"Even he, a burly man, felt his heart skip a beat, and the hairs all over his body stood on end when he saw the corpse. The face was burnt beyond recognition, almost into a lump of soil. A glance at it would make anyone scream.A
Michelle had calmed down a little on the way back, but she was still trembling. After all, the impact of seeing the body was terrifying."Don't think about it," Elijah said lightly, gently hugging her."I can't." She turned to look at him and asked, "What do you think?"He did not reply."Is Rhea really dead?"Again, only silence greeted her."How can it be so coincidental? Something just had to happen when we were looking for her! Besides, our people saw her go home, and no one saw her leave. How did she end up in this abandoned factory? What kind of experiment is she doing? How can it just happen to explode like this? It seems like…""Like what?" Elijah asked.Michelle chewed on her lips. "Don't you think it's too much like a setup for us?""Are you saying Fabian and Maria are acting?" After thinking for a while, Elijah thought this was a possibility. However, if this was the case, Fabian and Maria were too good at scheming.Elijah thought he had tried his best not to start
It was already dark when the car arrived at Dominic's house.This place was far from the city center, and the starry sky was clear and beautiful. There were no flashing lights, just peace and quiet.Elijah had already called Dominic on the way here. Sure enough, Dominic refused. However, after hearing about Rhea's death, he was shocked.After a moment of silence, he finally gave in and allowed them to come. He warned them to make sure they were not followed and not to stay too long.Their journey into the manor was smooth; the car drove quietly and stopped at the front.When Elijah got out of the car, he saw a luxury car next to them with a license plate he didn't recognize. It seemed that there was a foreign visitor here. This puzzled him. After all, Dominic rarely had visitors, and it was late at night.However, since Elijah had already been warned not to talk or ask too many questions, he dared not let his mind wander. He looked around suspiciously before following his wife in
"Rhea is dead?" A strange female voice sounded. Elijah was stunned for a moment and looked toward the source of the voice.A woman came in through the door leading to the backyard. She patted the dirt on her hands and washed them before coming over.He watched her every move until she approached him and hesitantly looked at Dominic. "Uncle Dom?"Dominic took a glance at Lily and rubbed his nose. "This is my apprentice.""Hello, I'm Lily," Lily greeted Elijah politely.Elijah felt that name sounded familiar, but he was more shocked that Dominic introduced her as his apprentice.‘Was this an acknowledgment that this woman was his secret apprentice?! I didn't expect it to be a woman!’As Dominic's closest relatives, they knew about him taking in a secret apprentice, and of course, they also knew it was not their son. They did not know who it was. Dominic never said anything, and they weren't close enough to ask.Now that he had openly admitted it, Elijah was quite surprised."Jus
Since it was a poison, there would always be an antidote. Finding the poisoner was the most direct and convenient way to get the antidote. Who would have thought the person would be "dead" before he found her?With this sudden change in the situation, Elijah could only pin his hopes on Dominic."He's not poisoned. He's injected with a catalyst."This stunned Elijah. He blinked, almost doubting his ears. If his ears were fine, there must be something wrong with his comprehension.‘What is…a catalyst?’"I'm sorry, but I don't understand. What is a catalyst?" This was his first encounter with the term."Well, it's similar to poisons. It also damages bodily functions. The only difference is that catalysts accelerate the growth and division of the body cells to improve one's physical fitness and other aspects," Lily explained in the most layman's terms possible.As expected, Elijah tilted his head and thought momentarily before hesitantly asking, "So, it's something like a stimulant?
