As a Rolls-Royce slowly drove in, everyone parted ways and lowered their heads, shouting, "Sir!" The car door opened, and an elderly man with slicked-back gray hair stepped out. He was the leader of the Gold Faction, a late- stage Mystique Loyalty Realm expert.
"Should we really get involved in this mess?" the second-inmand asked gravely. "I heard they killed four peak-stage Mystique Loyalty Realm experts." Battlestar did not respond but walked toward the villa's courtyard.
Inside the villa living room, the direct descendants of the Roche family were all kneeling on the floor. Sitting on a couch before them was a man in a suit and glasses. He was refined and elegant, exuding an air of nonchalance.
His legs were crossed, and he was holding a half-filled glass of red wine. This man was Duncan. He was no longer the sman he was two months ago.

"This is good," Peter approved.
Peter smiled as he pulled a palm-sized bottle from his Eight Trigrams pouch. He unscrewed the cap, and a bug enveloped in black mist flew out. He pointed his finger at Battlestar, and the bug immediately flew toward his forehead.
"Don't resist, or you'll die," Boris coldly warned from the other side.
Battlestar allowed the bug to burrow into his forehead. "That's the One God Bug, and it has merged with your soul. I can scatter your soul with just a mere thought." Taking a deep breath, Battlestar asked seriously, "Can you release him now?"
