Chapter 1791

Solomon, the new transfer from a top foreign school, had inherited the Osborne Group. In six hours, he'd become the talk of the town.In Class 3-1, Lillian propped her pencil in her mouth, glaring at Solomon beside her."Did my parents send you to babysit me?" she asked.Solomon, now 18, was a far cry from his kid self. Lillian hadn't seen him in two years.He'd shot up, taller than her by a head. His shoulders were much broader, and his jaw was sharper.He looked intense, more like an adult than a student.But Lillian could tell he was faking it. She wanted to call him out."You wish," Solomon said coolly. "My mom faked being sick to drag me back, just to dump the company on me.""Huh? Doesn't that mess up my parents' job?""They have been hands-off for years.""What? Then who's running it?"Solomon turned his laptop toward her and tapped the screen. "Who do you think?"Erica and Randy redefined raising kids to take care of them. Debra and Marion perfected the art of ditch

"S-Sorry," the boy stammered, shaken by Solomon's glare.Lillian dropped her straw and peeked at him. "Why's he apologizing?""He smashed the window," Solomon replied."No, he didn't.""He has now."Solomon chucked the ball at the window to Lillian's right. The glass shattered with a loud crack.Lillian's mouth fell open. "Whoa!"Then she resumed sipping her milk. Solomon caught her same old obliviousness and smiled faintly for a second.That boy got chewed out for breaking the window, and the school added a new rule: No basketball in classrooms.During PE, Farrah Maeve tugged Lillian's arm as they jogged. "Why is this guy following you like a shadow? It's creepy."It was Solomon's first day at Seamar City High, and he was already in the spotlight.Of course, he was not as popular as Lillian.Three years in, she'd become the school's mascot. When she enrolled, the place got a full upgrade. There were free computers and tablets for everyone.Plus, her cute face won over eve

Solomon said, "Back straight, legs out."Lillian shot him a death glare. Two steps in, she was panting.Guys jogging nearby cheered, "Come on. You've got this."Lillian sulked. She didn't like running at all.The PE teacher scratched his head, wondering how to give her a pass. After all, her mother was on the board.As Lillian slowed to a crawl, Solomon swooped in, hoisted her over his shoulder, and bolted."Hey, what are you doing? Put me down!" she shrieked.He hauled her 100 meters in no time. A girl on the sidelines gawked. "Uh, is that cheating?"The teacher ducked his head, muttering, "Her mom is a director."Lillian yelped as Solomon dumped her onto a mat after the 800.She rubbed her butt. "You didn't have to do that. The teacher wouldn't care.""You're spoiled rotten," he said.She shrugged. "My mom says she went through hell so I wouldn't have to."Standing, she dusted herself off. "She also says parents who can't cut it make their kids suffer. They spent their l

Debra sneezed halfway across the world.Marion tucked her blanket tighter. "You catching a cold?""Nah. I bet Lillian is missing me," Debra sighed."We've got stuff to handle. They'll get it.""Maybe."Their car pulled into a shadowy alley. Black-market deals lined the street. When they stepped out, the air thickened with danger....A Rolls-Royce idled at the school gate.Lillian and Solomon climbed in, but neither of them spoke.School was their normal life, a mask they wore. Once they got home, the real world kicked in. Their lives weren't ordinary.The gates of the Houston Mansion swung open, and the car stopped. They stepped out, cracking their wrists in sync."Miss, Mr. Solomon Osborne, you're back," Ben greeted with his usual polite smile.Neither of them reacted much, just strode into the yard.Suddenly, two knives darted toward them. Lillian dodged them without breaking a sweat."She's gotten better," a hidden guard commented."Mr. Houston trained her in person.

"I-I don't know. I'm just a runner," the guy stammered.Debra's smile faded. "Don't know?"She stood, pressed the gun to his forehead, and fired. "I don't keep useless people."Marion wiped her barrel clean. "Next time, I'll handle it. Don't mess up your dress."Debra softened. "These creeps traffic organs, kidnapping women and kids for rich buyers. Killing's the only fix."The Illuminati got crushed years back, leaving peace in its wake. But lately, this crap flared up overseas, piggybacking on the old dark web.Fermin had dug into it for ages. The network was a mess. Only a few hideouts turned up. The mastermind remained hidden.Debra went quiet. They'd spent five years wiping out the Illuminati, but evil came back so fast.Marion saw her worry and smoothed her frown. "The Illuminati was huge. Some slipped through. As long as people need organs, they won't die. Might not even be them.""I'm worried about Lillian," she said.Back when they fought the Illuminati, the remnants

Jordan didn't know what to say. This kid got wilder by the day."Clean up. Dinner's soon," he said, tossing his keys to the driver. "Go grab my luggage.""Yes, sir," the driver replied.Lillian tilted her head. "Uncle Jordan, are you moving in? Are my parents gone long?""Things are messy overseas," Jordan replied, ruffling her hair. "They're sorting it out. If it's bad, could take a while. If not, two weeks tops. Worry about your PE grade instead. Your teacher said you failed 800 meters again.""Mom says don't be too perfect at school." Lillian shrugged, popping a lollipop in her mouth. "Gotta blend in. Or everyone would freak out."She hated running anyway.Jordan got it. Marion's brutal training left her puking as a kid. Now she avoided it unless forced.And she was too fast. The girls' 800-meter topped out at 2:50 for great.Lillian could hit 2:15, thanks to her killer genes and grind. But she was too chill and honest to show off, so she tanked it."Then don't take it," J

Fermin put down his pen and rubbed his temples. "Come in."Time hadn't hit him hard. He just looked steadier than before."Take a look. Enoch's old stash." Fermin took off his glasses and tossed a bag of powder onto the desk.Debra picked it up. Even through the plastic, that familiar scent hit her."Where did it come from?" she asked."Inside channels," Fermin said, skeptical. "You guys really wiped out Illuminati's stock back then? I'm starting to think you were messing with me."He had trusted them to handle it, so he'd stayed out of the aftermath.Now, 20 years later, this junk had resurfaced."Wildfire never burns out," Debra said bitterly.They'd crushed black-market rings for years, but greed kept spawning new ones. Revival was inevitable.Pei Yan said, "It's too late to talk about it now. If this stuff gets out on the market, what Fu Guozhong tried to accomplish all those years ago won’t just be a fantasy anymore. Let me know if you'd like to make any changes!Ferm

"Who did this? It's horrible," Liza fumed, slamming the desk. "Kids said it's from net cafés outside. It's very popular, and tons of vendors sell them near campus. We need to find the culprit and bring them to justice."Fermin shouted at the door, "Send teams to lock down school zones. Grab anyone sketchy.""Yes, sir," Verna replied.Debra's gut twisted. She squeezed Marion's hand. "Did Jordan go check on Lillian and Solomon?""I told him to," he said."Tell the school to beef up security," she added. "Screen every snack those vendors sell. No slip-ups.""Lillian's not that clueless," Marion reassured her. "Relax."Debra wasn't overreacting. Lillian grew up spoiled.Marion's hardcore training was just playtime for her. She could fight but had never faced real evil.If the Illuminati's leftovers came after her, Debra had to keep her safe.Marion's phone buzzed. It was Randy calling."No need to freak," Randy drawled. "This dark web's a joke compared to 20 years ago."Debra b

At the Huston Mansion, Lillian lay on the bed, wincing in pain. "Easy! Don't go so hard. Ow!"Solomon sat on the edge, scraping her leg with a board. "Quit making those noises.""It hurts," Lillian protested. "You've been abroad for two years. How did you even get so strong?"Solomon tossed the board at her. "Your turn."Lillian grumbled, dragging herself up. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she started scraping Solomon's leg as he lay face-down."We gotta figure out how to ditch Uncle Jordan," she said. "He's brutal. I don't know what got into him today. 20 kilometers with weight? My legs are killing me.""Something's up overseas," Solomon said, his voice low. "That's why he's pushing us to train hard. Gotta be ready for whatever's coming."His 18th birthday had just passed when his parents called him back. Fermin had him rush to Seamar City overnight.It couldn't be just about taking over the Osborne Group. Something bigger was brewing.A few nights ago, Fermin's study light

Chapter 1800

"For safety's sake," Solomon said, "stick close to me. No wandering off."Lillian mulled it over, then hit him with a zinger. "Stick with you? Am I guarding you, or are you guarding me?""You wanna mess with me?" Solomon pinched her cheek. "With your brain, you'd be toast in a heartbeat. Remember that time you gave a homeless guy 100 bucks, and he almost took off with you? Where did you get that bleeding heart?"Lillian swatted his hand away, pouting. "That guy was pitiful. He had no arms and hadn't showered in days.""Good thing Uncle Drake showed up fast, or you'd be missing an arm too," Solomon scoffed."That was ages ago. I was only eight. Now I am turning 18. Stop seeing me as a kid like my parents." Lillian plopped cross-legged on the bed. "My mom says I'm fine as is. She says kindness brings blessings.""Yeah, and her next line is: cross me once, shame on you; cross me twice, shame on me." Solomon poked her head again. "You pick up the worst habits. You planning to join a
