I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

At this point, the brother and sister were not worried about the crime scene.

The two men systematically destroyed all traces at the scene.

There were no ordinary traces there; everything was covered and contaminated by messy, extraordinary traces.

"Raine, you're saying that Akka... does the boss really have magic that can bring Eddie back to his current state?"

Leqi asked curiously.

After stroking his chin and pondering for a moment, Ryan said, "Our boss has too many amazing qualities, so I can't guarantee anything."

"But since the boss has made that choice, I think there's at least a 30-40% chance!"

Leqi's eyes widened slightly. In the extraordinary world, a 30% to 40% chance was already quite high.

Just then, the cave door was opened.

The two turned their heads at the same time, and the first person they saw was Ivan, who walked out first.

However, Evan had changed his jacket again, although it was also an old, sweaty one.

The one behind Ivan at this moment was no longer the twisted, swollen, beast-like superhuman from before.

At this moment, Eddie's face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his spirit was weak.

But his steps were steady, his eyes were clear, and most importantly, he had an incredibly happy smile on his face.

Seeing this, Ryan gaped in shock, while Leqi covered her face with both hands.

"Master, please!"

The brother and sister both gasped in surprise.

Ivan smiled slightly and said, "Things are going much more smoothly than I expected."

"However, the price was not small; Eddie could no longer become a superhuman after that."

The two siblings hurried over and carefully examined Eddie.

Having received prior instructions, Eddie calmly expressed his gratitude to Ivan to the two siblings.

But the weight of that gratitude was far heavier and more fervent than ordinary thanks.

Afterwards, the group talked as they left from another direction and quickly returned to the city.

Evan wasn't worried about any leaks or spying regarding what happened today.

Evan knew from the memories stolen from the middle-aged man's mind.

The middle-aged man was leading a research team whose current research goal was to repurpose superhumans who were about to or had already become beast-like.

They could either strip away their extraordinary characteristics completely, or transform them into fighting beasts that could obey their commands.

Their research team didn't have any special background, and this was just a routine experiment.

Ivan's arrival was a pleasant surprise for them, but according to the middle-aged man's memory, he did not report the matter.

Based on the memories Ivan had seen of the middle-aged man about himself, this guy's attitude was similar to that of the assassin duo in the villa.

They all thought they were unworthy of their reputation, just strong brutes, and didn't take themselves seriously at all.

The financier named James was completely unaware of his ambush within the villa.

All he knew was that something had happened at the experimental site over there recently, and although he asked several times, no one told him.

This was simply to allow him to focus on his current experimental tasks.

The camp was built by the three of them themselves, without any assistance or covert surveillance from others.

After returning to the city, Ryan, Eddie, and the other two went to the Alchemy School to confirm their findings.

After all, this task was issued by the Alchemy School, and each time a task is completed, it is necessary to return and report back.

This kind of receipt reporting usually requires the employer's relevant stamp documents. After confirming that everything is correct here, the task can be considered successfully completed.

Ivan followed the three of them with long strides.

After all, I'm not a permanent resident of Worcester.

He worried that if this matter wasn't handled properly, those people might cause trouble for Ryan and Eddie later.

The group soon arrived at a three-story detached red brick building.

The building is at least 50 years old, but it is clearly well maintained.

There was very little smog and dust on the surrounding red bricks, and the glass on each floor was cleaned quite thoroughly. The afternoon sunlight fell on the window frames, reflecting a calm and warm color.

Above the cast iron double doors directly in front hangs a square plaque that reads: Lianjin Pawnshop.

This is the disguise of the alchemy school to the outside world; what they offer to ordinary people are various pawn services.

It could even be said that it is a pawn service for extraordinary individuals.

Ordinary people sell material possessions, but people like Ryan and Eddie sell their health.

As they strode into the rather lively hall, people quickly recognized Ryan and Eddie.

The group was led to the second floor by a middle-aged man via the stairs on the left.

The layout of the second floor is similar to that of the first floor, with a U-shaped counter directly in front.

Although the solid wood flooring had many scratches, it was kept quite clean and gave it a rustic feel.

The overhead light bulb cast a dim, yellowish light, enveloping the entire hall in a gentle, warm shadow.

At this moment, there were about five or six extraordinary professionals in the hall, whispering and thinking in twos and threes.

Ryan, Eddie, and the other two walked to the counter in front of them and handed over the receipts.

The person handling the matter in front was a witch apprentice, dressed in a grey robe with a distinctly medieval style.

After receiving the receipt certificate, he carefully compared it with the record, then nodded in satisfaction: "Both are correct."

"This is your bounty."

Finally, the witch took out three envelopes and handed one to each of the three people.

Given Evan's current sensitivity to money, he could roughly calculate the amount just by feeling the thickness of the envelope.

Each person received approximately $50 in compensation.

Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a well-tailored three-piece suit walked over with a slight frown on his face.

The middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance, was slightly overweight and not very tall, and had a gold pen clipped to his vest.

After carefully examining the three of them, he asked, "I remember you three took on a mission from the Excellent Research Institute, so why don't you have any trace of magical potions on you?"

Upon hearing this, the three men turned pale and instinctively looked at Evan beside them.

On the way back, the four of them had already discussed their next words and subsequent plans.

The middle-aged man followed the three people's terrified gazes and looked at Evan standing to the side.

Evan grinned and took out James's seal from his hand: "Because before they could even take their medicine, that James guy was already killed by me."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall turned their gaze to Ivan.

The middle-aged man stared incredulously at the grinning young man before him: "You... what did you say?!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the three of them hurriedly and respectfully handed over the reward money to Evan.

After taking the envelope and counting the money inside with practiced ease, Evan confirmed it was 150 yuan and casually stuffed it into his pocket.

The middle-aged man opposite him stared wide-eyed at the deranged young man before him and tentatively asked, "Do you know who you've messed with?!"

Ivan grinned: "Of course I fucking know!"

"I'm going to take down those bastards from the Excellence Research Institute today!"

As he spoke, Ivan took a step forward with overwhelming force and pointed to the middle-aged man's chest.

"You should be in contact with the people at the Institute of Excellence, right? Please pass on this message to them!"

"Eliminating this entire experimental group today is merely a warning to them!"

"If anyone dares to hire Black Knife Alliance assassins to kill me again, next time it won't just be three people dying!"

Upon hearing these forceful and provocative words, the onlookers immediately understood.

No wonder this guy is so arrogant and purposeful; it turns out he was assassinated by the Institute of Excellence before!

They've come seeking revenge!

Then everyone looked at the Ryan siblings and Eddie with pity, a hint of sympathy flashing in their eyes.

After all, it's not easy to get a job, and not only is the employer killed by this murderer, but they also have to cooperate with this crazy guy to cheat them out of their commission!

In the end, he had to give all the commission he had scammed back to the other party!

The middle-aged man in charge turned pale upon hearing this, inwardly cursing himself for his bad luck today.

How did I end up getting caught up in all this vendetta for no reason?!

At this moment, the middle-aged man wished he could slap himself twice.

He's usually quite lazy, and he never bothers to ask about these things.

I was just in a bad mood today, and seeing these three lowlife superhumans looking so pathetic, I thought I'd go up and make a few sarcastic remarks, find a fight and vent my frustration.

But I never expected to get such shocking news!

At this moment, the middle-aged man's face turned pale, and he asked respectfully, "Sir... I can pass on the message, but what is your surname?"

Ivan patted his chest and said loudly, "Tell those people at the Institute of Excellence."

"My name is Daddy. They can just call me Daddy from now on!"

Finally, Ivan took the money and swaggered away under everyone's watchful eyes.

That arrogant attitude made it seem as if the mysterious and powerful Excellent Research Institute was nothing more than a pack of stray dogs on the roadside!

A minute after Ivan left, the hall gradually returned to its noisy state.

The crowd quickly surrounded Rein and his companions, chattering and asking what had happened.

The three men, including Ryan, covered their faces and shook their heads repeatedly.

Finally, he left in a hurry.

……

After that, Evan didn't have much contact with the three people and went straight to the train back to Bolton.

After leaving the headquarters of the alchemy school, the three went their separate ways.

Ryan and his sister quickly returned home to prepare for their trip to Bolton.

Eddie hurriedly boarded the tram and, after crossing three blocks, arrived at a relatively respectable-looking row of red brick houses.

Eddie didn't intend to glance at the bustling scene on the street; his eyes were fixed on a window on the second floor.

This is their newly purchased house, which is now basically fully renovated.

This area can be considered an ordinary community, lacking the prestige of a middle-class community and the chaos of a poor community.

The people living here are generally college graduates or highly skilled workers.

My fiancée has been coming here every day for the past few days to clean up the house after the renovation.

After surviving the ordeal, Eddie got out of the car and, with hurried, messy steps, made his way up the relatively tidy stairs to the second floor.

He then frantically pulled out the key and opened the dark red oak door.

After pushing open the door, you'll see a home that isn't very large, but is decorated quite warmly.

The sofa has a unified style and is covered with a small, fluffy rug. The surrounding walls are decorated with various ornaments and photos of the male and female owners.

The newly renovated wooden furniture has been wiped clean, and some everyday tools are placed on it.

For example, small boxes containing keys, shelves, handkerchiefs for wiping hands, etc.

A faint, sweet aroma, fresh from the oven, still lingered in the air.

In the corner of the living room, a woman dressed in a gray linen outfit with an apron around her neck and her chestnut hair braided into a plait was kneeling on the floor.

She hummed a clear and melodious folk song as she wiped away the dust and grime in the corner with a rag.

The woman turned around after hearing the door open.

The girl was quite pretty, with a thin layer of sweat on her broad forehead, complemented by high brow bones, a nose, and a few freckles on her face...

She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a youthful and lively charm.

"Miko? Why are you off work so early today? Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until after 6 pm?!"

The girl stood up briskly, put the rag aside, and then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Her braids swayed behind her as she walked, adding a touch of playful cuteness.

"I just learned how to bake cookies from Mrs. Smith next door today, and I succeeded on my first try!"

"Your new oven is amazing! My first success must be because of this brand new oven!"

The girl's voice was filled with joy and happiness, as well as satisfaction with her new home and anticipation for the future.

"Quick! Come and try it!"

At this moment, the girl held a light yellow cookie covered in peanut crumbs, blew on it, and offered the warm cookie to Eddie's mouth.

"Hehe, I put in lots of sugar! I know you love sweets!"

Eddie silently put the cookie in his mouth, chewing and crying at the same time, then pulled the girl into his arms.

He couldn't imagine that if something really happened to him today, all those love cookies would be met with sadness and emptiness.

His fiancée, Jane...

She would wait in this brand-new home until late at night, becoming increasingly anxious and fearful, until finally she went to the police station to report the incident.

However, due to the extraordinary nature of the problem, Jane was ultimately unable to even see her own corpse.

He couldn't imagine that this adorable girl, who had always been so obedient to him, was actually a clueless girl who needed to make her own decisions even about buying a dress...

How helpless, how sad, and how painful it would be if I died today.

That girl who always puts in extra candy, and always wants to be held to fall asleep...

Yet, in what should have been a warm and happy bedroom, she was left alone in an empty room.

"Great Father! Thank you!"

According to my normal destiny, all of this should have already happened.

But... the great and loving father saved himself!

To ensure that I still have the right to experience the most beautiful things in this world!

"What's wrong?" Jane asked, wiping away her fiancé's tears as she looked at him crying.

She tiptoed, her soft fingers gently wiping away his tears, her eyes filled with heartache and confusion.

Eddie whispered, sobbing, "I just... feel incredibly happy."

He laughed through his tears, chewed on a biscuit, and gazed at his lover's face.

"So sweet~"
