Charlotte was enveloped in an eerie cold aura, her thin lips pressed together, and there was no expression on her face.

Furthermore, she hadn’t rested for a long time resulting in an unnatural pallor on her face and a shallow blue color under her eyes.

It added a layer of indifference to her already cold appearance.

“Charlotte,” William looked at her and called her name.

Charlotte lowered her gaze, sounding hoarse, “Brother.”

William raised his hand to touch her head, “Arthur North should be fine. Whoever encounters him is bound to have bad luck.”

Charlotte tried to smile but couldn’t quite manage it. Then she asked a trivial question, “When did you arrive?”

“Just now.” William was heartbroken to see Charlotte like this, “What are you going to do?”

“I’ve stabilized the situation at the Easton Group,” Charlotte said with her gaze down, “and tracked down the Platinum Burke Family.”

“So?”

“I’ve raided the Platinum Burke Family.” Charlotte’s voice was flat.

William’s eyes flickered, and he immediately realized, “Someone is supporting the Platinum Burke Family from behind.”

“It seems so.”

“It’s very dangerous for you to go now.” William said, “We don’t know who is behind them and how powerful they are.”

“Whoever they are, they’ll end up as corpses anyway.” Charlotte spoke in a flat tone.

William frowned.

Charlotte’s current state was frightening, and it made him feel an unfamiliarity.

This unfamiliarity, whether it was eleven years ago or after her return, it was something he had never seen before.

“Charlotte…”

“Brother, don’t try to talk me out of it.”

William paused and then said, “Brother will go with you.”

“I’ll be fine on my own.”

“I’ll go with you.” William insisted.

Charlotte looked up at him and nodded after a moment, “Alright.”

Seeing that Charlotte agreed, William said, “Let’s eat something first. Amelie told me that you haven’t eaten much since last night.”

“I’ll grab something to eat in the car.”

…

Hugo Clark and Olivia Lane stayed at Dark Radiance.

Charlotte, William, and James Cooper headed to the Platinum Burke Family with a team.

Nearly an hour’s drive, Charlotte slept all the way in the car.

When they arrived at the Platinum Burke Family, she opened her eyes, which were filled with red bloodshot veins.

James Cooper negotiated with the Platinum Burke Family members at the entrance, intending to visit their housemaster under the guise of a visit.

Since it was an official visit, they didn’t bring too many people with them.

James Cooper explained his intentions at the entrance, and the person at the entrance went in to report. Afterward, they came back out and let them in without any fuss.

With the X Hacker Alliance destroyed, the Platinum Burke Family, as the instigators behind the scenes, should be well aware that they were exposed now.

The Easton Group was targeted because Arthur North had deliberately revealed his identity.

They targeted Arthur North, so they targeted the Easton Group as well.

But as for Dark Radiance… since they were able to find out about Arthur North’s whereabouts, they should have known long ago that the boss of Dark Radiance was Arthur North.

However, they attacked the Easton Group and intercepted Arthur North, who didn’t have many men with him, yet had not launched an attack on Dark Radiance, presumably because they lacked the power to do so for now.

After all, this was the Mountain Sea Continent.

Not everyone could touch Dark Radiance.

They wouldn’t actively attack Dark Radiance, but they might gradually undermine the organization.

Especially when Kevin Clark had suddenly disappeared.

Like right now…

Everyone knew each other’s identity, but one pretended to be paying a visit while the other politely greeted them.

Charlotte Lane and their allies planned to infiltrate the Platinum Burke Family, who had intentions of trapping them.

So, Charlotte smoothly entered the Platinum Burke Family’s residence.

And the people she brought with her followed suit.

After all, the Platinum Burke Family had to at least make a show of sincerity. Plus, they were confident they could handle the people Charlotte brought along.

When they arrived at the reception room, the housemaster of the Platinum Burke Family, a man in his 50s, warmly greeted them while speaking broken Chinese.

Charlotte and William Lane ignored him, leaving James Cooper to exchange polite conversation with him.

Charlotte casually glanced at the layout of the reception room and the people guarding it.

James Cooper made some irrelevant small talk to stall for time.

The Platinum Burke housemaster chatted with James Cooper for nearly five minutes before cutting his speech short and inquiring about Charlotte and William Lane’s identities.

However, before James could speak, someone else beat him to it: “This lady is Kevin Clark’s wife, Mrs. Clark.”

Charlotte and William both turned around.

Amelia Miles and Liam Davis walked into the reception room together.

The housemaster, though his Chinese was poor, could understand it: “Mrs. Clark?”

Amelia stood in front of Charlotte, her face full of pride and her previous deceitful docility vanished: “Sister, we haven’t seen each other in a while.”

Charlotte just looked at her without moving.

Amelia then looked at William and said, “So, Young Master Lane has also come? What is this…knowing that your own brother is losing, you started to go after your brother’s wife?”

These words were spoken.

It was as if both sides had been given a clear and obvious fuse to start the battle.

The Platinum Burke housemaster’s insincere enthusiasm vanished from his face, replaced by an expression of arrogance and readiness for action.

A flash of murderous intent flickered in the depths of William’s eyes.

Amelia continued to laugh, “Oh, I’m just joking. Don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously.”

After that, she looked at Charlotte and said, “Sister, don’t be too sad. Men, of course, need to move on from old relationships.”

Charlotte listened to the delicate ticking of her wristwatch.

“Also, sister, don’t deliberately waste time.” Amelia sneered, “Your intentions are obvious to everyone. The Dark Radiance forces have been stopped halfway. No one is coming.”

James Cooper suddenly furrowed his eyebrows.

Amelia caught his expression and laughed without concealment.

Today, she wanted to watch Daisy Zane kneel in front of her and die in front of her.

“Young Master Lane, this is not the Imperial Capital. Nor is it a place where the Lane Family holds power.” Amelia said, “Choosing the right team is essential.”

Amelia’s expression softened a bit when she looked at William.

“Is it?” William said.

“Of course.” Amelia replied, “Dark Radiance has always been loyal to the Clarks, and they may not last much longer. If we cooperate, there will be a time when the Lane Family will rise in the Mountain Sea Continent. Of course…today I’m merely extending an olive branch to you, we can discuss this matter later. Now, I have something important to discuss with Lady Zane.”

As she said this, she looked at Charlotte’s cold face, paused, and said, “Daisy Zane, in our sisterly bond, you should kneel and beg me. I’ll give you a chance to be buried with Kevin Clark…Ah!”

Charlotte retaliated with a slap.

The force was so strong that Amelia was almost knocked down, but Charlotte quickly pulled her back up.

Liam Davis and the housemaster were both startled.

The people around were all on alert.

Amelia’s vision was blurred by stars, and it took her a while to focus on Charlotte’s face. Her mouth was split open by the blow, and blood flowed down her chin.

She touched the blood on her chin and glared at Charlotte, “You dare hit me!”

Charlotte wore a black combat suit and boots, with a tight waist and high ponytail.

She emanated a cold, ruthless aura and a frighteningly powerful murderous intent.

She gripped Amelia’s arm, applying a little force, and whispered, “Hit you? I came here today to take your life.”
