Having lost both her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, she was overwhelmed by grief and collapsed unconscious.

Maria was well into her years, and after that crushing blow, her life was hanging by a frayed thread.

Zachary and Grace stormed over to Wylder’s place, making a scene.

They snarled their demand: Nina and Ryan’s bodies found at once, or they weren’t leaving.

Wylder was at his wits’ end.

He had no idea where the rumor about Nina’s death had started and no one he’d sent out had reported back yet.

Wylder thought, ‘How could Nina be dead?’

He was already running around trying to find Nina, and now the Foster family was causing a ruckus. He felt like he was about to lose his mind.

But honestly, panic was starting to take over.

The organization had found out that there were multiple groups targeting the potion.

Wylder still had no clue who’d snatched Nina.

What really freaked him out was the thought that if they tortured her, Nina might not be able to hold up and might crack, betraying them.

After all the effort Nina had put in lately, the potion had finally made a breakthrough. Now all that was left was to wrap things up, and it’d be ready.

If Nina betrayed them now, everything they’d worked for would go down the drain.

He was totally losing his mind.

After finally getting the Foster family out the door, Wylder immediately barked at his men, “Report to the higher-ups right now and request backup. We have to find Nina, no matter what.

Wylder refused to believe Nina was dead.

He thought, ‘She won’t be dead! The potion is way too important to those people, and Nina was a genius, so they won’t let someone like her die so easily.’

That night, everyone was out cold.

Simon and Elaine slipped out of their rooms and headed downstairs.

Simon kicked Sean’s door open, stomped over, and gave him a hard kick. “Get up!”

Sean shot up, still groggy. “Simon, what’s going on?”

“We’ve got work to do,” Simon said, then headed out with Elaine

“Nah, let’s leave him out,” Elaine said, glancing back at the villa. “le’s way too chicken. If he tags along, he’ll be up all night scared out of his mind.”

“Alright then,” Simon replied.

He figured Ethan really wasn’t cut out for this kind of thing.

That sweet kid would totally freak out if he saw anything bloody!

By the time Simon and Elaine finished talking, Sean and the rest had already come out.

Just as Simon was about to start the car, Ethan suddenly yelled,Wait for me!”

Simon was speechless.

Ethan came running, yanked open the door, and squeezed in. “Weren’t we supposed to go together? Why’d you leave me behind?”

Simon just coughed awkwardly and kept quiet.

Elaine pinched the bridge of her nose. “You sure you want to tag along? This isn’t playtime.”

“Saving my sister isn’t something to mess around with,” Ethan grumbled. “I mean, I might not be much help, but hey, at least I can be a burden…”

Elaine was speechless.

Simon fell into silence.

Ethan showed an awkward grin. “I mean, I will be enemies’ burden.”

Elaine’s lips twitched. “Even being a burden takes some skill, you know. Do your best.”

Meanwhile, Nina had been invited to go for a walk in the garden

It was Vincent’s garden.

Nina had no idea why this guy, who was clearly a bit off, wanted her to check out the garden with him so late at night. But since she’d never seen what an Ancient Martial Clan’s garden looked like, she accepted the invitation.

As Nina wandered around, she realized the Ancient Martial Clan was the kind of place where every square foot was worth its weight in gold.

Even Betrico couldn’t hold a candle to how exclusive it was here

Honestly, it felt like there was gold everywhere you looked.

She couldn’t tell if it was just Vincent’s family that was this filthy rich, or if all Ancient Martial Clans lived like this.

Either way, the whole place was pure luxury.

It was like stepping into an ancient courtyard, all decked out in pure luxury, the lamp stands were made of solid gold
