Chapter 1428
That kind of force p>
It was not something an ordinary, frail woman could manage!
Nicholas had already picked up the fallen microchip and handed it to Jerrick. “Jerrick, please pass this to National Security p>
Jerrick placed the chip into a specialized evidence bag.
Alaric’s face turned ashen.
He cradled his pierced wrist, staring darkly at the silver needle.
Suddenly, he jerked his head up to glare at Serena.
That usually gentle, refined facade finally shattered, revealing a sinister underbelly. “A masterful move, Miss Lancaster. I’m impressed p>
Serena offered a careless smirk. “I do alright. Not quite as impressive as Chairman Sinclair turning a charity foundation into an offshore transit hub for the Obsidian Sun p>
Alaric paled further.
His lips trembled as he tried to formulate an excuse.
But at this point, all explanations were utterly meaningless.
Serena had already ripped away his disguise for the world to see.
He shouldn’t have run his mouth.
Meanwhile, standing in the crowd, Sebastian Montgomery and Arthur Harrison felt a cold chill slide down their spines.
They finally realized.
They weren’t just helping Alaric suppress the Lancaster heiress tonight.
Alaric had used them as pawns to test the waters.
They had nearly been dragged into the lethal web of the Obsidian Sun.
Sebastian’s face shifted through shades of green and white.
Arthur’s legs felt like jelly; the man who had just been parading the prestige of a century-old medical dynasty could now barely stay upright.
Serena didn’t even spare them a glance.
The Montgomery family.
The Harrison family.
They were just noisy pebbles kicking up dust.
She had already hooked the real rat.
Serena looked at Alaric, the curve of her lips deepening inch by inch. “When I save people, I don’t like anyone dragging me down. And when I interrogate demons, I don’t like it when they pretend to be human p>
“You’ve been pretending for far too long, Chairman Sinclair. It’s time you showed your true form p>
Just as she finished speaking.
Alfred stepped briskly back into the room, his expression solemn. “Miss, The Federal Oversight Task Force has arrived p>
At the banquet hall entrance, a squad of officers in black uniforms marched in.
The man leading them had a razor-sharp gaze. He walked straight over and offered a deeply respectful nod in Serena’s direction.
“Pardon the intrusion, Miss Serena p>
He then pulled out his badge. “Mr. Alaric Sinclair p>
“You are suspected of participating in illegal cross-border medical data transactions, funding high-risk biological experimentation facilities, and maintaining financial ties with the Obsidian Sun remnants in Severia p>
“Please come with us to assist in the investigation p>
Alaric swayed on his feet.
He stared dead at Serena.
The girl stood under the brilliant
lights, her black gown accentuating her striking features. That faint smile on her lips was wicked and dangerous.
Like a deity.
Like a demon.
At that moment, he finally understood why The Overlord was so profoundly wary of
this girl.
She wasn’t just a genius.
And she certainly wasn’t just the Lancaster heiress.
She stood at the very top, watching all those who thought themselves clever march
blindly into the graves she had dug for them.
And then, she buried them all.
Right before he was hauled away, a venomous glint flared in Alaric’s eyes,
, do you think care
me means this is over.net>
Serena arched an eyebrow and laughed. “Of course not p>
Her chilling voice dropped to a whisper, meant only for him to hear. “You’re just the
first p>
The smile on her lips widened.
Then, she lifted her gaze to the man in the black uniform. “Take him away p>
The commanding officer gave a respectful nod. “Thank you for your hard work, Miss Serena p>
With a wave of his hand.
Alaric was hauled off by the task force, dragged out in front of the entire assembly.
