The middle-aged man could no longer think; he felt his lungs gradually stiffen, and his breathing ceased.
He couldnât comprehend how the In familyâs double geniuses, declared dead by the Evolved Being Alliance, could reappear, nor could he fathom what he had done to provoke them.
His last breath was snuffed out completely, his eyes bulged, and he collapsed to the floor.
The sudden turn of events left his subordinates in shock.
They were only Class-B evolved beings, unable to resist the overwhelming pressure from a Class-S evolved being.
By bloodline alone, they couldnât fight back, let alone the vastly superior evolved abilities.
From start to finish, they never even saw In Yaonian himself.
It was a silent massacre that disturbed no one.
When the cold bodies were discovered the next morning, the Quinn family was in chaos.
Despite their intense internal conflicts, the Quinn family still needed to ensure their overall development.
The loss of three Class-A and eight Class-B evolved beings was a severe blow, equivalent to losing half of their strength.
What shocked the Quinn family most was the lack of any signs of a struggle at the scene.
Who could kill so many evolved beings in an instant?
âHurry!â The head of the Quinn family staggered back, leaning against the wall. âReport to the Evolved Being Alliance!â
Beyond other consequences, this incident alone dashed any hopes of the Quinn family attaining an A rating this year.
Who was trying to destroy their standing in the world of evolved beings?
The Quinn family head, filled with anger and fear, could only wait for the Evolved Being Alliance to send someone.
The news quickly reached the Evolved Being Alliance, and it was taken seriously, with a law enforcement team dispatched immediately.
âDid you find evidence of a Class-S evolved being maliciously attacking lower-level evolved beings?â A womanâs voice rang out. âWhere are the bodies?â
The Quinn family head turned and gasped upon seeing the newcomer, immediately kneeling in greeting. âMiss Odlie!â
Odlie Lotebar, a super Class-A evolved being, was a candidate for the next head of the Lotebar family.
At only twenty-seven years old, she was already a high-ranking member of the Evolved Being Alliance.
Known as the âBlack Swanâ due to her frequent black attire, she was an elegant yet terrifying figure.
Even Chris, the young master of the Evolved Being Alliance, avoided conflict with her.
Odlie raised a hand, cutting off the Quinn family head. âNo need for formalities. Lead the way.â
âWith Miss Odlie here, the matter will surely be resolved!â The Quinn family head regained his spirits. âThis way, please. The culpritâs actions were vile. Please, Miss Odlie, ensure justice for us!â
The bodies were covered with white cloths, showing no wounds.
Odlie crouched down.
Just as her hand touched the middle-aged manâs head, her phone in her pocket vibrated.
Odlieâs expression tightened as she took out her phone and glanced at it.
A message had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, without any app notification.
[Are you leading the team? Just pretend you canât find anything, okay?]
Odlieâs eyes deepened, and a playful smile tugged at her lips, her demeanor relaxing a bit.
[What, no news for years, and now you want me to turn a blind eye? This is my job. Whatâs in it for me?]
[Mmhm, consider it a personal favor, please?]
Odlie was taken aback by this plea.
But she had to admit, she was inclined to comply.
After a momentâs thought, she replied.
[Alright, Iâll do it. No need for repayment.]
She put her phone away, stood up, and snapped her fingers. âPack up.â
Her team was stunned. âCaptain?â
It was clear that a Class-S evolved being was responsible for the deaths.
Only a Class-S could be so efficient and clean.
Even a Class-C evolved being with a focus on brute strength could take down a world-class boxer in one move.
But the database showed that all existing Class-S evolved beings had alibis.
They hadnât even thoroughly examined the situation, so why were they packing up already?
The Evolved Being Alliance had unified the evolved beings, but there were still rebel groups forming vengeful organizations. Ignoring this could lead to disaster!
âI said, pack up.â Odlie flicked her hair and smiled. âDidnât you understand?â
Her smile held a chilling undertone, making the team shiver and fall silent.
The Quinn family head was the most shocked. âMiss Odlie, arenât you going to pursue the culprit?â
Odlie merely glanced at him.
With a thud, the Quinn family head couldnât withstand the bloodline pressure and knelt.@@novelbin@@
He spat out blood, his face turning pale as he lowered his head. âMi-Miss Odlie, please, take care!â
The Evolved Being Alliance team came and went swiftly.
The Quinn family head lay on the ground, breathing heavily, still in shock.
A disgruntled evolved being asked, âFamily head, are we just going to let this go?â
âWhat else can we do?â The Quinn family head trembled. âCan we stand against Miss Odlie?â
The room fell silent.
After a while, someone spoke up, âI heard they only have a grudge with the Ye family. Could it be someone from the Ye family?â
âThe Ye family?â Someone sneered. âThey just got a B rating recently. They have only one Class-A evolved being, Ye Junci, whose bloodline is unstable. Do they have this kind of power?â
It had to be a Class-S evolved being, and one of the top ones at that.
Even if they werenât from the three major evolved being families, they were beyond their reach.
The Quinn family head was also resentful but had no choice but to accept it.
He didnât dare to hold a funeral for the middle-aged man and his subordinates, quickly sending their bodies out of the Quinn family to avoid more trouble.

Meanwhile, in the North State, at the border area.
Yu Xiheng turned his head and saw the girl propping her chin on her hand, looking at her phone. âDaydreaming?â
âNo,â Si Fuqing poked at the screen. âJust chatting with an online friend. Itâs been a while.â
Feng San couldnât help but ask, âMiss Siâs online friend, they must be on the level of Oracleâs President Ji, right?â
Si Fuqing thought for a moment. âNot quite. This friend could take down a hundred of you with one punch.â
Feng San: â???â
Why did he keep becoming a unit of measurement?
Yu Xiheng raised an eyebrow, speaking calmly, âClass-S or super Class-A evolved being?â
âImpressive, Brother Nine,â Si Fuqing raised her brows. âYou know me so well.â
Yu Xihengâs eyelashes lowered, his heart fluttering slightly, a gentle tremor running through him.
Perhaps being close to her had him following her into becoming a bit of a flirt.
He spoke softly, âWhen are you heading back?â
âNo rush, Iâll stay a few more days with you,â Si Fuqing said lazily, holding a cup of hot milk. âIâll head back on June 6th to check the exam venue. Just relax.â
Yu Xiheng sighed, his heart softening. âAlright.â
She always knew how to make him give in with just a few words.

With the college entrance exams starting on June 7th, netizens were highly attentive.
Entertainment marketing accounts compiled a list of celebrities taking the exams this year, including Si Fuqing, Song Wenhua, and several child stars.
On June 6th, accompanied by In Yaonian and Ye Zhenmian, Si Fuqing and Nian Yiâan went to check the exam venue.
She didnât disguise herself, wearing a simple T-shirt and casual pants.
The influence of a top star was immense, especially Si Fuqing, whose fans and drama viewers spanned a wide age range.
Even the elderly around the exam venue took photos of her with their phones.
There were many fans taking the exam this year, spreading the news excitedly.
[News from the front line: I spotted Qingqing at An City No.1 Middle School exam venue! Iâm so lucky to be in the same exam venue as my goddess!]
[Take more photos! âThe Birth of an Employeeâ just ended, and thereâs nothing new to watch. I bet this woman will go silent for months once she starts filming.]
[Is that her younger brother next to her? Canât see his face, but he looks handsome!]
[Protect Qingqingâs family, donât post photos if you get any.]
After checking the venue, Si Fuqing put away her exam permit.
A message came in at that moment.
[Iâm done here. Where are you? The Great Xia Empire? Maybe I can request a mission there to see you.]
Si Fuqing thought for a moment, took a photo of An City First High School, and sent it to Odlie with four words.
[College entrance exam venue.]
