105. Upgrade

Chapter 105

Upgrade

Osborne's expression was a bit dazed.

He had been hearing that Skyefall Security Services was up for sale. He had wondered why the Godfather would want to sell it. It seemed unnecessary.

After all, Skyefall Security Services was operating very well. It had over a thousand professional bodyguards. More than a hundred of them were directly affiliated with the Draco Group.

The rest were also long–term contractors.

Skyefall Security Services cooperated with all the major families and forces in Skyefall. It had a good reputation and was recognized.

As long as the management did not mess up, Skyefall Security Services could contribute over a billion in profits to the Draco Group headquarters annually.

In this situation, why would the Godfather want to sell Skyefall Security Services?

Now, seeing this transfer agreement, Osborne finally understood.

The Godfather never intended to sell Skyefall Security Services from the start.

He released the news of selling Skyefall Security Services to mislead others into thinking it was no longer affiliated with the Draco Group.

In reality, Skyefall Security Services was prepared as a reward for him.

"A security company worth billions, with over a thousand professional bodyguards. It was over a billion in annual profits, various networks, and influence…

"Is this the reward from the Godfather?"

Osborne murmured.

To be honest, he was shocked by this reward. His boldest guess. was that the Godfather would reward him with a company worth billions.

He never expected it to be Skyefall Security Services.

Skyefall Security Services was extremely important to him now.

Previously, he had a lot of cash but no power of his own. He was a loner and insignificant to truly powerful forces.

Now, Osborne finally had his own power.

Although nine–tenths of the thousand professional bodyguards at Skyefall Security Services were contractors, as their boss, he couldn't directly order them to risk their lives for him.

But as their boss, getting them to cooperate wasn't a problem.

Moreover, Skyefall Security Services had over a hundred experts, secretly trained by the Draco Group. They would fully obey Osborne in the future.

Like Violet.

Like Sharon.

These two were experts trained by the Draco Group from a young age, loyal to the Draco Group and Skyefall Security Services. From now on, they would be loyal to him.

Over a hundred people might not seem like much. But for Osborne now, it was more than enough.

After all, those hundred–plus people were all at the level of Violet and Sharon.

Over a hundred experts at Violet and Sharon's level. What formidable force that was.

At least in Mayby City and even in Skyefall, there wouldn't be many forces daring to confront him head–on.

Osborne didn't hesitate and immediately signed his name on the transfer contract.

From then on, he owned 100% of Skyefall Security Services.

Just after he signed, a call came in.

"Hello, is this Mr. Augustine? I'm Valentin. I'm in charge of Skyefall Security Services. I've received orders from headquarters and will follow your commands from now on.

"Do you have any instructions, Mr. Augustine?"

Osborne was shocked. He took a deep breath and said, "I have no orders for now. Just continue operating Skyefall Security Services as usual. I'll visit when I have time."

"Okay, Mr. Augustine. We all look forward to your arrival."

After hanging up the call with Valentin, Osborne was calm again.

He was thinking about how to use Skyefall Security Services to truly achieve a leap in status.

Should he announce his identity and officially become a wealthy figure in Mayby City?

Or should he continue to hide his identity and seek greater benefits in the shadows?

Ultimately, Osborne decided to continue hiding his identity.

However, if Osborne announced he was the new boss of Skyefall Security Services, he would immediately become a top figure in Mayby City. Even in the entire Skyefall province, he would be notable, with countless top figures trying to curry favor with him.

Even ancient families like the Radcliffe family…

They would come to please him just to get Skyefall Security Services' Class A defense system.

But in the end, Osborne decided to hide his identity.

Once his identity was exposed, more people would try to curry favor with him, and more troubles would come. He still had new heir tests ahead and didn't want trouble.

Keeping a low profile was the way to go!

A great man from Rosmandi once said, never let your enemies know all your cards.

"It's time to upgrade Satan's Eye to level four!"

Osborne took a deep breath. He calmed himself and began upgrading Satan's Eye.

He needed to activate Satan's Eye and maintain it for an hour.

After preparing, Osborne activated Satan's Eye. Suddenly, the world became incredibly clear to his eyes.

After ten minutes, Osborne's eyes felt a bit sore.

After twenty minutes, his eyes felt a bit painful.

After thirty minutes, Osborne was crying uncontrollably.

After forty minutes, his eyes started bleeding.

But he gritted his teeth and persisted.

He had to upgrade Satan's Eye to level four to enhance his strength.

As the ordeal dragged on, Osborne felt himself reaching his limit.

Blood flowed freely from his eyes.

His vision was a blur of red, and his eyes felt as if they were about to burst. They were no longer his own, and he was seeing nothing.

If the Godfather hadn't personally taught him the method to ascend to Level Four, Osborne would have shut down Satan's Eye long ago, fearing for his sight.

But Osborne was still holding on.

The agony spread from his eyes to his brain, slowing his thoughts until they became sluggish and unclear. A single, powerful thought took root in his mind.

Shut off Satan's Eye, and the agony would stop!

Shut it off, and there would be other chances.

Just shut it…

Osborne let out a fierce roar, a primal sound like a wild beast. His teeth clenched so tightly that blood trickled from the corners of his mouth.

Level Four!

"I can't give up!

"I absolutely can't give up! Anastasia is waiting for me to save her. I can't waste a single second!

"I absolutely can't give up!

"I can do it!"

His body trembled violently, wracked with pain that sent spasms through his muscles. With a single thought, he could temporarily shut down Satan's Eye and end his suffering.

But he didn't.

Fifty minutes…

Fifty–five minutes…

Fifty–eight minutes…

Fifty–nine minutes…

Osborne felt his mind and body reaching their absolute limit. He was numb as if his body was no longer his own. He could barely even feel the Satan's Eye anymore.

He was like a drowning man, about to lose consciousness.

But just then, an hour passed.

In that instant, Osborne's body convulsed violently as an icy chill emanated from his left eye, enveloping him completely.

All prior discomfort vanished without a trace.

Simultaneously, Osborne felt a drastic transformation within his Satan's Eye.

Or rather, an evolution!

A fourth silver star gradually materialized within his left eye.

The silver star shimmered briefly. Then, a faint golden glow enveloped it.

Silver star!

Golden glow!

Unfortunately, Osborne didn't see these changes as the golden light gradually faded.

After everything was over, Osborne breathed heavily and his face filled with the feeling of having survived a disaster.

"Did it succeed? I thought that reaching level four without any items would be the easiest upgrade, but it turned out to be the hardest! Luckily, I persevered!

"Godfather didn't even tell me that I only had one chance. If I had failed this upgrade, my Satan's Eye would have exhausted. its potential and would never be able to reach level four!

"Such a trap!"

Osborne felt a deep sense of relief. The moment Satan's Eye ascended to level four, he distinctly felt that had he given up earlier, Satan's Eye would have lost all its potential, remaining stuck at level three.

"Thank goodness I held on! Otherwise, I'd be full of regrets right now."

Osborne muttered to himself as he began to explore the changes in Satan's Eye at level four.

The level four Satan's Eye now possessed the ability to emit Devil's Light.

However, this power was not yet activated; he still needed to find an elemental metahuman and absorb their elemental essence.

Even without this new ability, Satan's Eye had significantly improved.

His dynamic and static vision had become even more formidable.

With Satan's Eye activated, the Draco Model H mini–handgun, which could fire at a speed of seven thousand feet per second, seemed to move at a snail's pace, incredibly slow.

Additionally, his X–ray vision had also grown stronger. At level two, Satan's Eye already had x–ray vision, but it could only see through half a feet of concrete. By level three, it could penetrate three one–foot–thick concrete walls.

Now, with level four Satan's Eye, his X–ray vision was even more terrifying.

Ten concrete walls could not block his sight.

In other words, he could see through a 16–foot–thick concrete wall. If it were a brick or wooden fence, it would be even more accessible; even dozens of walls could not stop his X–ray vision.

The range of his X–ray vision had also increased from 328 feet radius to 1640 feet radius.

It could be said that within 1640 feet radius, there was nothing that could obstruct Osborne's vision.

"It's dope!"

Osborne was overjoyed. Activating the X–ray vision of Satan's Eye was like having a God's–eye view, absolutely incredible.

But what Osborne cared about most was how much his ability to manipulate matter with ocular energy had improved.

With a level three Satan's Eye, his ocular energy could lift 2200 pounds of weight and influence objects within four hundred feet.

But with a level four Satan's Eye, he could lift ten thousand pounds and extend his influence to 17 hundred feet.

If he concentrated his ocular energy into a punch, the maximum force of a single blow would be ten thousand pounds!

Nobody could withstand that!

Even a bull would be sent flying!

Osborne was thrilled. After testing the strength of his level four Satan's Eye, he finally calmed down.

"Now, it's time to figure out how to activate the new ability of the level four Satan's Eye!

"Devil's Light?

"What will it look like?"
