After making the appointment with Sharon Lindt, Xyla Quest slowly and carefully took out the white, pear-shaped porcelain bottle that Yaksha had given her from her pocket. She then carefully placed it on the coffee table.
“Just as we agreed before… Once we’re sure it’s 100% safe, you’ll start eating this. I’ll start experimenting with it on mice tomorrow,” Xyla said.
“Alright. I’ll do as you say,” Stanley said.

Simultaneously, on the other side of the uninhabited island where Yaksha lived, there was complete silence…
By the shore where large waves crashed upon it, the scarred bald man had his head hung low like a criminal. He was facing a tall, large man wearing a black Tai Chi outfit and a golden mask. “Sorry… I didn’t manage to complete the mission you gave me…”
“Such a useless piece of trash!” The man uttered coldly.
“I thought Xyla would definitely die this time. Who knew she’d be able to subdue me first… The others ended up being too afraid to open fire…” The scarred bald man said.
“What kind of grudge do you have against that woman? Why must you kill her?” he asked.
“This has nothing to do with you!” The man with the golden mask sneered.
With that, the man with the golden mask grabbed the scarred bald man by his neck and lifted him into the air with one hand.
In the next second, the man with the golden mask started exerting force with his hand…
The scarred bald man desperately struggled, but it was to no avail.
“Useless pieces of trash all deserve to die,” the man with the golden mask said through gritted teeth.
Soon, the scarred bald man stopped struggling…
The man with the golden mask moved his neck slightly. After that, he tossed the scarred bald man into the silent, invisible black helicopter behind him as if he was tossing a dead chicken.

The next day, at four o’clock in the afternoon, Xyla followed Sharon into Atlantis Auction House, where the large-scale original jade rock auction was held.
At this moment, the auction house was packed with people.
At one glance, these were all celebrities and dignitaries in Atlantis.
