Chapter 182
With a skilled hacker backing them and their traces cloaked in secrecy, they were clearly part o an organization Unfortunately, no one had been able to track them down.
Keith hid the photo carefully and leaked news about it, knowing The Seraphic would destroy it to protect their anonymity.
His opponent possessed astonishing skills, and with no response. Keith couldn’t be certain if this was truly The Seraphic.
He was curious about the person hidden behind the mask.
However, Quiana only focused on the photo. With a swift feint, she propelled herself toward the wardrobe.
In her eyes, the photo was the only thing that mattered.
Julius moved like lightning, landing a punch to her stomach just as she reached for it.
Quiana cursed, retreating to the wall, the metallic taste of blood in her throat.
Julius sneered, closing the distance between them, his voice cold and mechanical “The top miracle doctor in Clusia, huh? Doesn’t seem all that impressive.”
“Damn you! Quiana spat internally.
“Judging medical skills by combat skills?” Quiana swallowed the blood in her mouth, mocking, “Are you an idiot!”
Julius was momentarily speechless. He said nothing more and moved closer, reaching for the mask on her face.
When they were only a meter apart, Quiana’s lips curled into a wicked, daring smile. With a subtle movement of her fingertips, several fine silver needles shot through the air.
Julius relied on his instincts to dodge, but a silver needle still pierced his left arm, sending a sharp tingling sensation coursing through his body.
He staggered backward, and in that instant, Quiana lunged, kicking him away. The dagger in her hand penetrated his heart.
The sound of flesh being pierced was followed by a spray of red blood. Julius grunted, gripping his opponent’s wrist to counter the force, while his other hand fumbled to remove the mask.
But the super anesthetic coursing through his body rendered his efforts useless. In the end, he was pinned to the ground, unable to resist
He spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to speak. “We have no grudge between us. Is it really necessary to finish me off?”
“Oh, but I do,” Quiana replied, her eyes sharp and fierce beneath the mask as she pressed the dagger deeper.
Julius spat out more blood.
Quiana’s gaze shifted to his strange mask, and in a swift motion, she yanked it off. Beneath it was an ordinary face, one that would blend seamlessly into any crowd, easily overlooked.
“Hurry! They’re inside!” someone shouted.
“Lockdown! No one leaves until Mr. Hawley arrives!” another called out.
Outside, security alarms blared, amplifying the chaos.
Quiana’s voice was low and chilling “The so–called legendary Enigmatic of Clusia? Not so impressive after all”

Chapter 182
She swiftly withdrew her dagger, letting the blood splatter and kicked him once more, grabbed the photo from the wardrobe, shattered the window, and leaped out into the night.
Upon hearing the report of a mysterious expert infiltrating the building, Keith rushed over anxiously.
Phineas, the building manager, reported, “Mr. Hawley, the photo has been taken.”
Keith’s expression darkened. “What exactly were you all doing?”
Hundreds of security personnel, along with a laser–equipped smart defense system, and yet they couldn’t stop a single. person” he thought, frustrated.
Phineas, trembling, stammered. “We captured another mysterious person, they-
“They escaped!” someone interrupted.
Another commotion erupted in the building. Two men in black were hurled out of a room, crashing to the floor. The mysterious person he had mentioned leaped out of the window, right under their noses.
Phineas sprinted to the window, but they had already vanished.
Keith was stunned.
This is the freaking 81st floor! And they couldn’t even guard a single photo, let alone stop the intruder from escaping he thought.
His head was pounding with frustration as he raged internally, This was the only clue to finding The Seraphic! Even Juli couldn’t get his hands on it! And now, on the very first day we have it, before I even had a chance to examine it prop stolen?
Furious, Keith kicked out at his subordinates. “Worthless! A bunch of incompetent fools!”
