He Ao climbed into the room through the open window, with only 30 seconds left on the return countdown.

The research institute was in Aston District, and not far from Regit’s home, but clearly, there wasn’t enough time to wait for the elevator. So, He Ao scaled the exterior wall and climbed up to the 37th floor, returning home.

He took out the small silver box that had ejected from Najia, twisted it open, and inside lay a folded piece of parchment.

He Ao unfolded the parchment, revealing lines of ancient text, and at the same time, some distorted thoughts began trying to influence his mind.

He Ao did not recognize the words, but he instinctively understood the contents written on the paper.

[Talent Sequences 45: Collector]

[Primary Material: 1 Ancient Mist Condensing Bead, 1 Corpse Flower]

[Secondary Materials: 1g Antique Powder, 50ml Dew, 10g Centenarian Tree Bark]

[Method of Blending: Grind the Corpse Flower into a powder and mix with the Ancient Mist Condensing Bead. Let it sit for a day and night, then add the Antique Powder, dew and bark. Heat in a water bath at 80 degrees for 30 minutes.]

As He Ao finished reading the words on the parchment, the whole thing slowly twisted into dust and disappeared.

Was this the formula for the Talent Sequences Secret Medicine?

He Ao had a rough understanding of the contents recorded on the paper. He memorized the formula and slowly made his way to the bedside.

He gently picked up a photo frame from the bedside, which held a picture of an elderly woman embracing a stout middle-aged man, both smiling toward the camera.

He Ao picked up a wet wipe next to him and meticulously cleaned the entire photo frame.

Then he smiled and placed the photo frame back by the bedside.

"Mother, I did it."

The image of the middle-aged man gradually overlapped inch by inch with his own reflection.

The silver-haired elder slowly lay down on the bed and closed his eyes bit by bit.

"Hello?"

The black-haired woman sitting in the lobby of the Federal Bureau of Investigation answered the call.

"Hello, is this Miss Yi Jiali?"

"This is she. Who am I speaking with?"

"I’m Christos. Are you free tomorrow evening? I would like to invite you to a dinner party."

"May I ask what the dinner is for?"

"It’s a charitable fundraising dinner for the Dawn Homeless Children’s Aid Association."

Yi Jiali stared blankly, slowly putting down her bracelet and looking at the big screen of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The screen was broadcasting news of the exotic beast attack in Aston District, and her gaze fell upon the photo of the enormous beast. In the corner of the photo, a blurry silver-haired elder carrying a sword resolutely charged towards the terrifying beast.

"Uh-huh, that’s about it... So the old man passed away at home? Okay... I understand."

Selena was silent for a moment.

"I will apply for a Federal Red Star Medal for him."

Smith said softly on the other end of the phone. The Federal Red Star Medal was the highest honor awarded to civilians who sacrificed themselves in the battle against exotic beasts, rewarding those who, though not obligated, still heroically gave their lives to save others.

"This usually requires the Mayor..."

Selena started to say.

"This medal does not require the Mayor’s approval,"

Smith said calmly, "Defending human civilization is the responsibility of the Federation."

"Thank you."

Selena bowed her head and said softly.

"Actually, I envy him," Smith suddenly said, "I hope that when I’m old, I can fight against an exotic beast to the very end just like he did."

"Director..."

Selena looked at Smith.

"We’ve strayed off topic," Smith shook his head, "Now I’m off to deal with those fools. With clear signs of an exotic beast, they refused to pay attention out of their own stupidity. If it weren’t for you and that old gentleman being there, who knows what disaster would have unfolded today. By the way,"

He remembered something, "Aren’t you on leave this afternoon? I’ll give you an additional half-day off tomorrow. You’ve worked hard; enjoy your vacation."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Sigh—

Selena sighed, rubbing her face,

"Sis," a somewhat childish voice came from behind her, "you’re worried about something again?"

Hearing this, Selena took a deep breath and showed a smile.

She straightened out her casual maxi dress, making sure there were no issues, then slowly turned around.

A little boy in a white jacket, clutching a toy gun and carrying a small bag, appeared in her field of vision.

"Sorry, sis got held up with something just after getting off work."

"It’s okay," the little boy shook his head. He lifted his small bag and presented it to Selena, "Grilled sausage, lots of meat, and it’s still warm. Eat it and you won’t be so unhappy."

Selena was stunned for a moment, taking the small bag from the boy’s hand, and instinctively took the little boy’s hand. "Sis will take you to meet a couple today, okay? They really like children."

"Oh," the boy nodded and walked forward, led by Selena, as the sunset’s glow spread under their feet.

"A charity dinner! And it’s for us!" The red-haired girl suddenly pinned Yi Jiali down on the couch,

"Holy shit, awesome, Jiali, where did you get this? Once we pull it off, we’ll have enough money to build a huge school!

Tell me, are you some hidden heiress of a wealthy family? Come on, admit it! Aren’t you going to give your bestie a little gift? I just want a sports car, I’m not asking for much, any brand is fine, but it has to be pink, pretty, and a convertible."

"Stop it, Annie." Yi Jiali pushed her best friend off. She knew that having this charity dinner wasn’t much of her doing and looked seriously at her friend. "Have you thought of a good name for our school yet?"

"Isn’t it just called Ande Primary School?"

Annie asked somewhat puzzled.

"How about Ande Rigite Primary School?"

Yi Jiali suggested after a moment’s thought.

"Why suddenly add this name?"

"It’s a long story; what do you think?"

"I think it’s good?" Annie blinked, looking at her best friend, "What about the school motto? Weren’t we going to use Ande’s story? You have to think carefully, a good school motto could affect these children’s lives."

Yi Jiali fell silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "Though the night is cold, there will always be someone who lights a torch."

"Huh?" Annie was taken aback. "Jiali, you’ve changed. How can you come up with such philosophical words?"

"?" Yi Jiali went over to pinch Annie’s face. "Even if these aren’t my words, what makes you think I can’t say them? I’m a Juris Doctor, okay? A doctor!"

"I think it’s great," Annie suddenly said after a bit of goofing around, "The children we’ll take into our school are probably those living in darkness, and we are the ones who will light torches for them. And when they grow up, they might light torches for others."

Though heroes die, their torches remain.

Roger slowly pushed open the room door, stepped inside, and looked at the Elderly sleeping with a smile on his face.

"Are you Doctor Roger?" A worker wearing a Federal Bureau of Investigation badge whispered, "This elderly gentleman has donated his body to you for research purposes. Do you need our help to transport the corpse?"

"No need," Roger shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the nightstand and finally resting on the cryptocurrency hardware wallet he had once given away, "I’ve arranged for the funeral home’s service. He deserves a grand funeral."

He gazed at the elderly man’s cheek.

From then on, he had one less friend.

Back in the main world, He Ao watched the subtitles flickering in his line of sight,
