Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1429

Everywhere Alaric walked, the guests instinctively recoiled, as if he were contaminated with something repulsive.

The same Chairman Sinclair who had just been praised for his grand vision was now a rat running across the street, shunned by all.

The banquet hall fell into an eerie silence.

Who could have imagined?

The Vinton Debutante Gala for the Lancaster heiress had ultimately exposed a shadowy perimeter network of the Obsidian Sun.

And the man being publicly arrested was Alaric, a figure who had enjoyed a pristine reputation in Vaelion City's scientific and philanthropic circles for years.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on many backs.

Especially those who had just considered Alaric to be a man of "great vision" and "responsibility" stepping up to "verify" Serena's claims. Their faces were stiff, afraid to even lift their heads.

They had almost followed Alaric's rhythm, pressuring Serena into releasing the Severian rescue protocols.

If they had succeeded...

Wouldn't they have effectively handed the knife over to the Obsidian Sun?

Just as the task force reached the hall doors, Alaric suddenly turned back. Across the brightly lit room, he locked his gaze onto Serena.

His eyes were dark, venomous, burning with a bizarre madness.

"Serena." He suddenly laughed, his voice ragged. "Do you think catching me will stop them?"

"You're too naive. Once the gates to Whitecliffe Harbor open, Project Zero-Transit won't stop."

"The Obsidian Sun can easily abandon the people you saved. But the real prize? You will never know where it is."

The task force operative gripping his shoulders shoved him forward. "Shut up!"

Alaric had clearly thrown all caution to the wind. Ignoring the warning, his laughter grew more sinister. "Serena, aren't you supposed to be a genius?"

"Then take a guess. Why is The Overlord so fixated on the data you hold?"

"Do you really think what your grandmother left behind was meant to save lives?"

The moment those words dropped.
