Chapter 243: Chapter 216: Zero Value (2 more)

Building 1.

Elliot Xenos placed a stack of documents in front of Pierce Stephens.

"Master, these are all classical documents, but there is no record of body modification in them."

"That’s all?"

"Within the Stephens Family, this is all we have."

Pierce began browsing through them.

Elliot reported: "Miss Chloe Stephens went to the Trial Hall today. You nodded to let someone in. Do you suspect her physique has been modified, too?"

"Her mother has also undergone such modifications. The person behind this must have done something to her."

"I have arranged for her to be watched; as soon as there is any news, it will be passed on."

"Hmm."

"Master, aren’t you worried that Miss Chloe Stephens will be targeted by the disciples in the Trial Hall?"

Pierce raised his cold eyes, "With so many people watching, even if something happens, we can save her at the first moment."

"Rowan is with her, so it shouldn’t happen."

Elliot’s comment caused Pierce to look at him again, staring at him.

Elliot couldn’t help but lower his head.

"Your words have become more and more numerous lately."

"Master, since Miss Chloe and the others returned, you have been paying special attention to Building 3."

Pierce gave Elliot a cold glance.

Elliot was sweating coldly and did not dare to speak another word.

The internal strife within the Stephens Family was cruel; entering the Trial Hall and stepping into battle meant life or death.

Elliot was genuinely concerned.

If something happened to Chloe’s side, the father-son relationship would really be beyond repair.

After Jeremy Jennings’ death.

Pierce was also looking for a martial artist to replace him, and several elders had recommended candidates.

Joe Stephens and Carl Stephens also recommended many people, but none were suitable, so the matter had been on hold until now.

Elliot knew the thoughts of the Stephens family members, and Pierce knew even better.

They wanted to arrange their own people to come, so as to achieve the purpose of always keeping an eye on the movement in Building 1.

Pierce suddenly picked up a book.

"Go to the Taylor Family to inquire personally."

"Go now?"

Pierce nodded.

Taylor Family.

The assistant beside Evan Taylor entered the Medicine Hall, "Master, a person from Master Stephens’ side has come to see you."

Hearing that it was someone from the Stephens Family, Evan Taylor’s eyes flickered slightly, "Let him in."

Soon, Elliot walked in.

After giving Evan Taylor a salute, he stated his purpose directly.

After hearing what he had to say, Evan’s expression changed slightly, but not noticeably.

"I’m ashamed to say," Evan Taylor said, "That with our Taylor Family’s capabilities, we cannot achieve such a level of modification. The current enhancement effect of drugs is not obvious, and there are significant side effects. The drugs that the Taylor Family developed before have all been taken back by the family."

Elliot frowned as he listened.

"What are the side effects of the drugs you produced?"

"Does your Stephens Family suspect that someone from our Taylor Family supplied the drugs to your people?" Evan Taylor stared at Elliot.

Elliot could feel a strong oppressive force, lowering his head even more, "I just wanted to ask, the Stephens Family Headquarters needs to verify some things."

The assistant next to Evan Taylor explained, "The side effects of the enhancing drugs developed by the Taylor Family are evident. Within three months, there will be obvious blockage effects, followed by the dispersion of strength, organ failure, and death. Of course, there are other symptoms. If it’s too full, blockage occurs, and it’s impossible to clear the orifices; an explosion is inevitable."

The side effects are so severe!

Elliot took a deep breath, glad that the Taylor Family had already withdrawn all of them.

Otherwise, if they were given to the ancient martial artists of the large families, it would definitely cause irreversible disasters.

Evan Taylor suddenly asked, "What are the symptoms of the lady who just returned to your Stephens Family?"

Elliot came to seek answers, so Yvette Foster’s situation would also be truthfully reported.

Upon hearing Evan Taylor’s question, Elliot described the situation in detail once again.

After listening, Evan Taylor nodded slightly, seemingly pleased.

Elliot asked, "Master Taylor, I wonder if this..."

"It’s nothing, she is blessed by a very capable person, much stronger than me. If it’s that person’s doing, it’s not modification, it’s a gift!"

"A gift?"

Elliot Xenos and his assistant were both momentarily taken aback.

It was clear that Evan Taylor was genuinely happy.

The assistant couldn’t help but be surprised as, having been by the family leader’s side for many years, this was his first time seeing him display such emotion.

Who was that person, to have such an impact on him?

Was there a doctor even more powerful than the family leader?

How come they hadn’t heard of them?

In their understanding, as long as Evan Taylor was ranked second in medical skills, no one would dare to claim the first rank.

"Go back and tell Master Stephens that there is no need to worry too much about Miss Foster. She is now considered a pure ancient martial artist, no different from other extraordinarily talented ancient martial artists."

As long as she was around, there would be no obstacles that couldn’t be overcome.

To transform an ordinary person was easy for her.

Elliot Xenos couldn’t help but frown.

Stephens Family Trial Hall.

Chloe followed someone into the large Trial Hall and took a glance at the Stephens disciples sitting in the front row.

These were the potential successors of the Stephens family’s young generation.

As long as the first-ranked successor was unable to assume the previous position, the most outstanding among them would be chosen as a replacement.

In other words, Rowan’s position might be replaced at any time.

No wonder he was so eager to enhance his ancient martial arts cultivation.

However, he was too reckless, and it ultimately harmed him.

Ignoring their disdainful gazes.

Chloe went to the front and looked at the elder of the Trial Hall.

"Elder, please conduct her trial quickly so we can continue our cultivation lessons."

Some were getting impatient.

The others chimed in with agreement.

Thirty or forty people were all staring at Chloe.

The Trial Hall had a hall master and elders, with the elders overseeing the grand scheme of things.

He glanced at Chloe and said, "Follow me."

Chloe followed the elder into a small room full of instruments, where she stood facing the transparent glass that enabled her to see the outside.

The people outside could also see the changing numbers inside.

In front of the projector were green numbers scrolling across the screen, the value starting at zero.

In the past, people were tested, but now it was done directly with instruments. The era was progressing, and they, as ancient martial artists, would also take a big step forward.

She looked back at the elder in the Trial Hall and then faced the sophisticated instruments.

"Get on with it."

The elder in the Trial Hall had no kind words for Chloe, cold and indifferent as he pointed at the position for her to step onto.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the screen.

As Chloe stepped on, the screen began to scroll, and the instruments started to operate.

Chloe felt something activate and move along with the strength inside her body.

She found it rather magical.

However.

The instrument seemed too low-level to test her talent.

After rotating a few times, the value remained at zero.

It stopped.

The screen displayed a zero.

An eerie silence outside.

Soon after, someone couldn’t help but burst out into mocking laughter.

"I thought she was supposed to have some amazing talent."

"I’m dying of laughter."

"Her mother was altered, so does the Stephens family think she was altered too? Isn’t that just a ridiculous idea?"

Rowan looked at the zero value and unclenched his fists.

As long as she wasn’t altered, there was no threat to him.

He had overestimated Chloe.

The elder from the Trial Hall frowned, "Come out."

A waste of his time.

Impatience and disgust were evident on his face as he ordered Chloe to leave.
