Chapter 37 Strange Attack
Not long after, Osborne finally safely returned to Isa’s Institute. of Human Research.
Throughout the journey, Osborne had a vague sense that something was amiss as if he was being watched, yet he
encountered no incidents.
It wasn’t until he returned here that he felt relieved.
He muttered, “Maybe I was mistaken.”
Osborne quickly found Isa and handed over the two longevity
herbs to her.
Isa exclaimed, “Well done, two longevity herbs!
“These two longevity herbs are enough to extend Anastasia’s life. for a year. To completely cure Anastasia, you’ll have to diligently complete the heir’s test and elevate your permissions,” Isa instructed.
Osborne nodded in understanding.
With the task of prolonging Anastasia’s life accomplished, he now needed to figure out how to tackle the second part of the heir’s test.
This second test required him to get close to Clarissa and stay by
Chapter 37 Strange Attack
her side.
Up to this point, Osborne was still clueless.
“Isa, go rest for now. I’ll stay here with Anastasia.”
Isa nodded and went off to rest.
Approaching Anastasia, Osborne gently smoothed her disheveled hair and whispered tenderly, “Anastasia, I will cure you! No matter the cost, I will ensure you live like a normal girl.
“And, I found a relative, my grandfather, a significant figure. Once you’re better, perhaps I’ll become a big shot, too.
“Then, I’ll take you out for the best food and drinks. How does that sound?
“No more hardships for us.
“I will become the new Godfather I’ll make you my happiest sister. I promise, Anastasia…”
After his gentle words, Osborne finally settled back in a corner, beginning his practice of The Breath of Celestial, a technique to enhance physical attributes rapidly.
As the night grew deeper and the surroundings fell into utter silence, Osborne suddenly jolted, his Satan’s Eye sensing danger.
This ability had saved him numerous times in the past.

With a grave expression, Osborne stood up, his gaze fixed on the
door of the ward.
Meanwhile, a knock echoed outside.
Glancing at the time, Osborne realized it was 5 a.m.
He thought, “Who would be knocking at this hour?”
“Who is it?” He asked softly.
A middle–aged woman’s voice replied, “It’s me!”
Osborne recognized it as the cleaning lady’s voice.
“Cleaning so early?”
Osborne furrowed his brow, hesitant to immediately open the door due to a lingering sense of danger.
Drawing the Draco Model H mini–handgun from its holster, he cautiously approached the door.
Outside the ward, Milo smirked coldly, his eyes fixated on the peephole.
A strange purple light emitted from his eyes, appearing eerie and terrifying.
He thought, “Come on! Come on!
Once you bring your eyes close or meet mine through the door,
Chapter 37 Strange Attack you’ll be under my control.”
Then, you’ll be my sacrificial lamb.
Come quickly.”
Milo waited silently, surrounded by extreme quietness.
Yet, as seconds passed, Osborne’s footsteps remained halted behind the door. He neither opened it nor peered through the peephole.
Unable to contain his impatience, Milo furrowed his brow tightly.
After a moment of contemplation, he placed his palm on the door handle and twisted it gently, causing the alloy handle to distort.
Finally, the door lock was broken.
Milo swiftly pushed open the door, only to be greeted by a dark barrel of a gun.
A faint gunshot echoed as the Draco Model H mini–handgun fired, its specialized bullets ten times smaller than normal, hurtling towards Milo’s eye at a terrifying speed.
“Die!” Osborne snarled.
Hearing the knocking, Osborne instinctively thought to check outside through the peephole. However, he quickly realized that

his Satan’s Eye had ascended to level two.
At the second level, his Satan’s Eye could see through things!
Osborne then activated his Satan’s Eye, clearly finding out what was going on outside.
As he witnessed a mysterious man with eerie eyes pressed against the peephole, a chill ran down his spine.
Though unaware of Milo’s motives, Osborne dared not be
careless.
He remained silent, aiming the gun at Milo’s eye.
Rather than shooting immediately, he waited for Milo to open. the door, seizing the moment of a sudden change in perspective to fire.
The Draco Model H mini–handgun, renowned for having the world’s fastest bullet speed, unleashed a projectile too swift for Milo to react.
In an instant, the bullet struck Milo’s eerie right eye, causing a gush of blood.
“Ah!” A piercing scream erupted.
However, Osborne’s expression did not relax; instead, it turned grave.
The reason being, Milo, despite being hit in the eye, was not

dead.
The reason was that despite being hit in the eye, Milo was not dead. Astonishingly, the bullet was lodged firmly in his peculiar eyeball.
