Chapter 1426
They had all heard bits and pieces.
Things like human experimentation, underground bases, and so forth.
It was a transnational criminal syndicate.
The very experts that the Montgomery family, the Harrison family, and the Sinclair family had been questioning the top global specialists Serena had saved during the Severian rescue operation-were all victims of the Obsidian Sun.
And now.
Alaric Sinclair was connected to the Obsidian Sun?
Cold sweat trickled down Alaric’s temples. His facial muscles twitched as he fought to deny it. “Watch your words, Dr. Dawson! I know nothing about this Obsidian Sun, nor do I know if this so-called communication log is real or fake p>
“Since Miss Lancaster chose to publicly display these things tonight, shouldn’t she give the Sinclair family an explanation p>
He turned to Old Mr. Lancaster, his voice lowering. “Mr. Lancaster, the Sinclair family was invited here today to offer our congratulations. If the Lancaster family intends to publicly slander us, there must be an accounting for it p>
The Lancasters all stared at him with freezing contempt.
Just moments ago, this man had used the guise of charity to pressure their daughter into handing over her rescue protocols.
And now he dared to play the victim?
Old Mr. Lancaster struck his cane against the floor, about to speak.
But Serena merely curved her lips into a smile. “Grandpa, don’t worry about such trivial matters. Just sit back and watch p>
Trivial matters?
The guests felt their hearts pound violently at those words.
The Sinclair Foundation might be involved with the Obsidian Sun.
And she called that a trivial matter?
Yet, coming from Serena, it inexplicably felt as though she really was just casually disposing of a rat.
Serena raised her eyes to Alaric. “Chairman Sinclair wants an explanation p>
“Of course p>
She gave a light chuckle.
Nicholas tapped the tablet again.
This time, a piece of surveillance footage appeared on the large screen.
The image was somewhat blurry.
It was clearly captured from a blind spot in the primary camera network.
In the video, the assistant who had been standing quietly beside Alaric was handing
a tiny microchip to someone dressed in medical staff uniform.
And that medical staff member was the exact cleaner who had attempted to poison
Dr. Geoffrey Grant in the Severian intensive care isolation ward.
There was no audio.
But the visual was clear enough.
Serena’s voice was calm. “In the poisoning incident at the Severian
Carly
isolation ward, the man who died was Elyndor’s leading neurologist, Dr. Geoffrey Grant He was also a former subordinate of my grandmother, Aria Wynn.”.net She looked up at Alaric.
Sinclair why was your man in
Bontact with the pet
The last trace of color finally drained from Alaric’s face.
He whipped his head around to glare at his assistant.
The assistant was deathly pale, his legs buckling so badly he could barely stand.
He never imagined it.
He never imagined Serena could have gotten her hands on that footage.
They had bypassed all the main security feeds.
The chip had contained absolutely no trace of the Sinclair family.
But why?
Why did she have this video?
Inside the banquet hall, everyone’s gaze shifted from Alaric to the assistant.
The assistant was drenched in cold sweat, his face as white as a sheet.
Jerrick’s eyes turned predatory.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he strode directly toward the man.
The assistant stumbled back, turning to bolt.
But the moment he moved.
A dark shadow intercepted him with blinding speed.
Bang!
Jerrick clamped a hand down on his shoulder and slammed him brutally to the floor.
The assistant’s knees crashed into the ground, a shrill scream ripping from his throat.
Jerrick

Jaw

Crack.
He dislocated the man’s jaw.
