“Maxine?” Alexander raised an eyebrow slightly and slid his finger to accept the call. “Ive received the video concerning Molly. You handled it well.”
Maxine’s voice was slightly tense as she spoke, “My Lord, | apologize for disturbing you late at night. It’s not about Molly but another urgent matter. Just ten minutes ago, the ‘Blood Assassins’ organization issued a bounty for the assassination of high— level members of New Chesire Group.
“The identity of the bounty issuer is temporarily unknown, and I’m currently investigating.” A bounty? Alexander’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The Blood Assassins were an ancient force entrenched in the continent for over 150 years. Its main member structure was. extremely mysterious, and it operated by receiving and issuing bounty tasks through the dark web, with a starting price of at least a million.
Alexander ended the call.
“Luca, drive back to Ol Mare as fast as possible. The sooner, the better. Amber is in danger!”
Luca slammed the accelerator, and the bright red Porsche, like an unsheathed sword, roared toward Ol‘ Mare City.

It was 11 p.m., and most of the employees had already left work.
Calvin, the deputy general manager of the Planning Department, stretched lazily. He looked at a few market analysts still working overtand yawned. “Guys, | can’t hold on any longer. I'll go back to the office for a nap. You guys finish up and go home early.”
He turned and walked out of the collective office for employees, heading toward his private office.
Just as he reached the corner of the stairs, a faint sound of breaking air rang out, brushing past Calvin’s neck. Then, there was a string of crimson blood beads.
Calvin’s whole body shuddered, and he instinctively covered his neck. All of a sudden, his vision went black. and he fell to the floor. His body convulsed violently for a few moments, and he succumbed right there.

through the entire office building.
“Security! Where’s the security?! Someone cquickly!”
“Hurry, get Mister Calvin to the hospital, now!”
“Report this to the Criminal Investigation Bureau!”
“Notify Miss Chesine immediately! Something’s happened...”
This night was destined to be chaotic.
In less than 20 minutes, more than 20 people in total—Including the OI‘ Mare Criminal Investigation Bureau, forensic experts, criminal investigators, Amber, and Patrick—arrived at the scene.

“No signs of a weapon around. The murderer must've used an ice needle.”
Since Luca followed Alexander to Zabaleta, Amber’s family’s security work was—personally taken care of by George.
He crouched down to look at the wound on Calvin's neck, then turned to Amber, his expression cautious. “The ice needle pierces the blood vessels in the throat. It'll melt when in contact with blood, which will leave no
traces of evidence.
“The one who can use an ice needle to kill and perfectly avoid the building’s internal surveillance equipment The strength of this murderer is at least that of a Grandmaster.”
A Grandmaster?
The investigators and criminal experts from the Criminal Investigation Bureau looked at each other and gasped. They were ordinary people, at most
having practiced ssimple grappling and combat techniques. more than enough to deal with ordinary thugs. Dealing with a martial arts master was beyond their capability. Even ordinary firearms might not be effective!
“Since it involves a Grandmaster, there’s no need for the Criminal Investigation Bureau to bother.” George arched his hand toward the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team. “The New Chesire Group will handle matters here. You may leave now.”
The captain of the Criminal Investigation Team hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
If it were any other case, the Criminal Investigation Bureau would have to see it through to the end. However, New Chesire Group was exceptionally special. Even the mayor of Ol’ Mare, Lewis Christian, was courteous to the legendary ‘Mister Kane’. This matter might have to end here.
“Dismiss!” With the captain’s order, all the investigators withdrew.
In the entire corridor, only George and a few elite bodyguards remained, firmly protecting Amber and his daughter behind them. “George.” Watching the people from the Criminal Investigation Bureau leave, Amber turned to look at Calvin’s

George cautiously surveyed the surroundings and let out a low sigh. “As a martial arts Grandmaster, why be
so secretive?
