"Interesting." Chilton gave a pale smile. "Everything I've done has been for Miami, unlike some people who only care about immediate gains." As he spoke, his eyes stared straight at the governor of a state.The governor of a state looked up and met his gaze. "Are you implying something about me?""Who else could I mean?" Chilton sneered. "You've done just as much as I have, but no one dares to hold you accountable, simply because you're the governor of a state."The governor of a state's voice grew deeper. "Chilton, in front of everyone today, you can say anything I've done. If there's even one thing I've done wrong, I'll resign myself."He admired Chilton—capable and ambitious. He had originally planned to give Chilton his position upon retirement, but Chilton was simply too impatient."Are you serious?" Chilton's eyes brightened. "A few years ago, I passed by a café and saw you having coffee with the head of the Department of Justice

Amelia glanced over and said, "It's fine, let him run. This way, he can go warn Mystic Vale that someone is looking for him."Elijah nodded. Just as he threw the two people to the ground, he saw black blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, and their breathing had already stopped."This..." Elijah scratched his head. "I didn't use that much force. How did they die?"Amelia's gaze was calm. "They had poison hidden in their mouths. If they realized they couldn't win, they'd bite down and die from the toxin."Carl walked over. "Some people in the town died because their vital energy dissipated, while others were unaffected. We still need to resolve this matter.""For what they did, there must have been a medium... Usually, it's a magical weapon." Amelia's eyes fell on the black beads on the wrist of the person lying on the ground. "Maybe it's this string of beads, plus the drugs used to control the victims."With that, Amelia walked s

"I know her," the young man replied. "When the boss went to the beauty club before, I went to call her."Carl said nothing, glancing at Amelia. Seeing this, Amelia looked at the young man and said, "Could you please go and call Adrienne? Just tell her there are some matters in the restaurant that need her attention."The young man nodded. "I'll go get the boss then." With that, he headed toward the entrance of the beauty club.Carl looked at Amelia. "This is Miami. There are some things we shouldn't get involved in directly, and besides, we're not even sure if the owner of the beauty club is Elara."Amelia nodded lightly. "I got a little carried away just now. Good thing you stopped me."The young man had already reached the entrance of the beauty club. As soon as he knocked, someone came to the door. "What's up?""I'm looking for our boss," the young man said at the door. "There are some things the boss needs to handle."The person smiled. "Adrienne is getting a beauty treatment righ

Adrienne's pupils contracted: "So you've had your eyes on me for a long time!""That's right." Janessa made no attempt to hide it: "Do you know why my skin is so flawless?" She gently stroked her smooth cheek. "The secret to eternal youth, the ancients already discovered it—virgin blood.""You're insane! That's just superstition, and superstition can't be trusted!" Adrienne struggled, but the straps held her limbs firmly in place."Superstition?" Janessa sneered, pointing to a device on the wall. "See that? It's a blood purification device improved from ancient texts. Ordinary transfusions only slow aging, but I've found that blood extracted under specific emotional states contains special enzymes. Combined with a certain formula, the effect is astonishing."Adrienne's body trembled: "So... those young girls who disappeared in Miami before..."Janessa's expression was cold: "You're right. They were sacrifices, and they should be proud of it.""You're a devil..." Adrienne said in despa

Amelia raised her eyes: "However, the decision is in your hands. If you want to stay in Miami, I will have Sir Hewson make arrangements for you. If you wish to return to Seattle for a visit, I will also send someone to take you back."She knew that everyone present was reluctant to leave this place. They had spent the first half of their lives working for the chamber of commerce, and as for the second half, Amelia certainly hoped they could return home and rest well.Reginald took a deep breath: "I will follow Ms. Cromwell's advice. I will go back to Seattle and have a good rest."Dominic and the others exchanged glances, then said in unison: "We will also listen to Ms. Cromwell, but—" Dominic looked at Connor, "You must keep a close watch on the chamber of commerce. Don't let it fall into someone else's hands again."Connor's expression was serious: "Unless I die, it won't happen. Besides, my grandson is growing up and will not let you down."Desmond, who was standing nearby, got up:
