Charlemagne recalled the scene in Arkham where level 20 police officers were everywhere and level 5 or higher superhumans were as common as dogs, and then asked, "Are they that rare?"
Judy replied calmly, "Don't push your luck. If you really want to compete with me, I can put together a lineup that won't be weaker than yours in three days."
"Three days?" Charlemagne had now figured out Judy's background.
During the conversation, the two had changed into brand new formal attire and walked out hand in hand.
I just came out and saw Eve appearing there at some point.
“Eve? Is something the matter?” Charlemagne asked.
Judy examined the clothes. This woman's appearance was inferior to her own, and although she couldn't see through her strength, she was probably not as strong as her.
But for some reason, Judy felt a sense of crisis or a subtle feeling of being suppressed in front of this woman.
Seeing this, Judy, who has a very strong possessive nature, instinctively took a step forward to assert her dominance.
Eve said calmly, "The people who create life have come, and their target is you."
Charlemagne wasn't surprised after hearing this, and asked, "What does the mayor mean?"
“Let’s play along,” Eve said.
Charlemagne nodded: "Okay, I'll leave this to you."
"it is good!"
After saying this briefly, Eve turned and left.
Judy watched Eve's retreating figure, then turned to Charlemagne: "What's your relationship with this woman?"
Charlemagne was taken aback: "It's nothing, I just saved her once before."
Judy's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure after hearing this: "Stay away from her from now on."
"What are you doing?" Charlemagne was taken aback.
Judy's cold reply was, "She makes me feel disgusted."
In the lobby on the first floor, Eve had just come down when Kane, holding a wine glass, greeted her with a smile: "Beautiful lady, may I have a dance with you?"
Marion, who was standing to the side, saw this scene and his expression changed immediately. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
To him, this Minister Kane was a true behemoth.
He was certainly clever, and knew how to navigate between various powerful forces, but he was not a fool.
He knew very well how ruthless this guy was, and he also knew that with his current strength, he couldn't afford to offend him at all.
"Don't accept it! Don't accept it!" Marion could only pray in his heart at this moment.
Unfortunately, his prayers were in vain.
Eve readily accepted Kane's invitation, and the two immediately went onto the dance floor.
"The Creators of Life are in the northwest corner of the second floor. Go talk to them. I'll take care of the rest." Eve didn't move her mouth, but her voice easily reached Kane's ears.
Kane was already aware of Los's plan, and he knew that his current recovery was thanks to the Creator of Life.
Kane joked with a smile, while his hands moved restlessly over Eve's body.
After all, everyone in the circle knows about Kane's womanizing ways.
Chapter 0319 Unleashed Bestial Nature
The two danced, and Eve, looking rather unhappy, left the dance floor, taking a glass of wine back upstairs.
Kane went back with her.
To outsiders, it would seem that this high-ranking bureau chief had become entangled with this beautiful woman and wanted to get to know her better.
Marion, who had witnessed the scene, was now seething with rage. He had never seen the woman he was attracted to be taken advantage of by this old man in front of him. The young and hot-blooded Marion was gradually being blinded by anger.
As the two went upstairs, he quietly followed them.
At the same time, Renault, Gloria, Seth, and others began to cooperate with Eve's operation, drawing the remaining spies from various factions toward the second floor.
Soon, in the second-floor corridor, Kane led Eve for a while before entering a room.
Upon seeing this, Marion felt a sudden sense of suffocation. Having attended numerous meetings, he was well aware of what the two people were supposed to do upon entering the room at this time.
But he was powerless at the moment and could only wait helplessly outside.
Five minutes later, Marion, who was hiding in the corner, saw Kane straighten his bow tie, but instead of returning to the first floor, he continued down the corridor.
"That good-for-nothing is fast!" Marion cursed inwardly, looking at the half-open door. He really wanted to go in and see the erotic scene, but as a journalist, he had a feeling that Kane must have other purposes at this moment.
The thought that he could find some leverage over Kane filled Marion with excitement.
He then secretly followed them.
Accompanying Marion were spies belonging to various families.
The people in the shadows followed Kane, turning left and right, and finally saw him smiling as he walked towards two people from a balcony.
It was a slightly chubby young man with a female companion who looked relatively ordinary.
Kane walked up with a smile and said, "Oh! My dear old friend, what are you doing here?"
The two people on the balcony looked on in surprise.
The two of them quickly broke through the entire manor's defense system, but at this crucial moment, a person suddenly arrived, and it was an important figure tonight.
For a moment, the two seemed to exchange a glance, and then a cold glint flashed in the slightly chubby young man's eyes.
"When did you join the Life Creators? Don, I didn't even know." Kane walked over and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the four people, including Marion, were immediately invigorated.
Then they heard Don's cold voice: "I didn't realize you were from our research institute."
Kane: "Thanks to these great people, my body was healed. How come I didn't know you weren't Don? Who are you?!"
Suddenly, the four of them heard Kane's voice become surprised and urgent.
"It seems they have some connection with our research institute. Good insight."
Just as the group was about to listen further, two patrolling guards suddenly approached from a distance: "What are you three guests doing here?"
Kane then laughed and said, "Oh! It's too hot inside, let's get some fresh air here."
"So it's Director Kane!"
The patrolling guard greeted Kane politely, then added, "You are a distinguished guest invited by my master. We feel bad that you are staying here. If you wish to have some fresh air, please follow me to a better place."
"Alright! Then Don, we'll talk again when we have time."
Upon hearing this, the four people in the shadows left without hesitation.
Marion hurried back down the corridor, his mind filled with shock: "Chief Kane's body has actually been healed, and that Don seems to be an imposter! My God! This news is absolutely explosive!"
Just as Marion was deep in thought, Eve, who had just finished playing with him, walked into the room and asked, "Marion, what are you doing here?"
Marion looked up at Eve, his earlier excitement and shock instantly replaced by distress.
Watching his beloved woman being led into a room by another man while he was powerless to stop it filled Marion with a terrible sense of helplessness and frustration.
"Just came up here for some fresh air," Marion said casually.
"As expected, women love powerful men. They were so cold to me just now, but now they danced with Kane and are coming over to play with thrills!"
At that moment, Marion was greatly shocked. He turned to look at Eve, and looking at this intelligent and mature woman, he couldn't believe that such a woman was a promiscuous socialite.
“Miss Pava, you didn’t look too well just now. Were you coerced by Director Kane?”
Eve lowered her head after hearing this and silently shook her head.
This only strengthened Marion's presumptuous suspicions. He clenched his fists and secretly vowed to gain more power, no matter the cost.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to protect the woman he loves!
Thinking of this, Marion said seriously, "Miss Pava, give me some time. By then, I won't let you be bullied in any way!"
At this moment, Marion, filled with excitement, found a new goal, completely forgetting his original sense of justice and dreams, and becoming lost in the desire for power.
Watching Marion leave, Seth walked over and laughed, "The mayor said that even heroes have trouble resisting the charms of a beautiful woman. Commander, this guy will probably never forget you for the rest of his life."
Eve gave a cold smile and looked at Marion with the same eyes one would use to look at livestock: "Isn't this better? The mayor needs his reputation, but he also needs his hypocrisy and greed."
Seth looked at the expression on the clothes and sighed, "The mayor has always reminded us to stay true to ourselves and not be influenced by the heroic spirits."
Eve: "That was just a suggestion. The mayor was worried that we might get lost in the vortex of the Heroic Spirits' will."
“But!” Eve clenched her fist, saying confidently, “But our will is strong enough. We are qualified to bear everything the Heroic Spirits have to offer, aren’t we?”
Seth's eyes flashed bloodshot: "Of course! To be honest, I've never felt so exhilarated and relaxed in my entire life. The Blood Donation Executioner's character and knowledge have liberated my spirit and will, giving me true freedom!"
At this point, they were no longer afraid of the power and corruption of the heroic spirits, but were more willing to accept everything about the heroic spirits and merge their original will and personality with them.
Thus they discovered that the shackles imposed on them by the secular world had been broken by the heroic spirits, and their spirits had been completely liberated.
Now, they are revealing the true face of their hypocritical pretense after their deaths.
"Human nature is inherently evil; perhaps only by unleashing our animalistic instincts can we achieve true freedom!"
Chapter 0320 After the Banquet
This seemingly calm but actually turbulent banquet was successfully completed by 10 p.m.
Although the people who came did not appear to have changed, many of them had already achieved their goals or ulterior motives.
Some people have even undergone tremendous changes, embarking on a completely different path from before.
By 10:30, almost all the guests had been seen off.
Charlemagne and Judy walked side by side on the cobblestone path of the manor, enjoying the quiet night and watching the white snow falling from the sky.
Stretching his body, Charlemagne reached out and caught a few snowflakes, sighing, "It's been a long time since I've attended a banquet like this. Coming here suddenly is really a bit unusual."
Judy looked at the nonchalant Charlemagne and said coldly, "If you're not used to it, then don't come back."
Charlemagne smiled and said, "Don't be so cold. We'll be together for a long time to come."
Judy sneered, "Is that so? I have a feeling that a life-or-death battle is destined between us."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you," Charlemagne said with a smile.
Just as the two were talking, some tremors suddenly came from the northeast side of the manor.
