Sami was about to inquire further when a video call came through the Al interface.
Switching on the Al, Sami saw that Liao Chen had aged significantly in just a few days.
âLiao Xi, youâre awake? The cubâs blood worked!â Liao Chenâs sunken eyes finally displayed a glimmer of joy.
âHow did you end up like this?â Liao Xi didnât mince her words. âI knew the blood of the Liao Family would work. Why did you need me to conduct so many experiments? We are indeed siblings!â
Liao Xiâs words displeased Liao Chen. âItâs an honor for you to contribute to my cause! Youâre aiding the future head of the Liao Family. Iâve already dispatched the army to retrieve you, bring back Liao Nai, and reveal your location to me.â
Sami stole a glance at Liao Xi, who wore a faint smile. âYou canât bear it, can you? It seems you can only survive a few more years with the blood from my heart.â
Samiâs eyes widened upon hearing this revelation. She had been completely unaware. Liao Chen asked calmlv, âWhat is it that vou desire?â
âDo I have the freedom to do anything I please?â Liao Xi smiled. âWell, thatâs true. The pure bloodline of the Liao Family rests in my hands, and your life depends on my whims.â
Liao Chen narrowed his eyes but remained silent, while Liao Ning carefully analyzed the conversation between the two.
âYouâre not the only one aware of the Liao Familyâs secret. I too am a member of the Liao Family, and just look,â Liao Xi leaned closer to the camera. âObserve how youthful and vibrant I am. Unlike you, I fear that your funeral is fast approaching, isnât it?â
Liao Chen seethed with anger, coughing uncontrollably but unable to utter a word. After a few minutes, he composed himself and asked, âLiao Xi, what do you want?â
âI want the Liao Familyâs assets.â Liao Xi instructed Sami to bring Liao Ning to their location so that Liao Chen could see them.
âWhy havenât you killed her? Once sheâs dead, the Liao Family will be mine, ours!â Liao Chenâs face turned crimson with rage.
âWhy kill her? If sheâs willing to transfer the inheritance to me, I can become the head of the Liao Family as well, â Liao Xi declared with satisfaction. âAnd I can enjoy a long life. Liao Chen, think carefully before you engage with me.â
Without hesitation, Liao Xi ended the call and then indicated a location for Sami to fly to.
Liao Ning was utterly stunned by the unfolding events. The fact that the siblings were truly related by blood and had no regard for family ties, except for their own gains, deeply troubled her. It dawned on her that she owed her survival to Liao Xiâs actions.

Only now did Liao Ning recall her hidden missionâto uncover the secrets of Liao Chen and the others, as well as the secrets of the Sam Family, in order to gather clues about her own identity.
With that in mind, she inquired, âIt seems like you have a strained relationship with your brother. So heâs after me and Liao Nai solely for his own benefit.â
Liao Xi cast a disdainful glance at her. âYou donât need to sow discord between us. We donât have a good relationship. Weâre merely using each other.â
Recalling how Liao Chen had cast her aside during the attack and forced her into a marriage with the despicable Count Sam, Liao Xi seethed with anger.
Particularly when Liao Chen approached her again, she had thought he had finally found his conscience, only to discover that he wanted her heartâs blood.
It was Liao Chenâs assault on her that had caused her to age rapidly and fall into a coma.
Liao Ningâs mocking continued, âWhat can you possibly do with him? Heâs part of the Interstellar Alliance, and youâre stuck here on Planet Dynasty. You might even end up being captured and taken back.â
Unfazed, Liao Xi responded, pretending not to care, âAs long as I have him in my possession, heâll find a way to rescue me. Besides, youâre not the only one I hold leverage over. I also possess the Sam Familyâs properties and secrets.â
Upon hearing about the Sam Familyâs secrets, Liao Ning grew increasingly nervous. The Sam Family had other hidden truths.
Just as Liao Ning was about to inquire further, the aircraft began its descent, and what she saw outside the window left her utterly shocked..
