This clown? Acting tough?

From the young guy's chatter, Ethan learned that Richard was planning to build the ultimate defense line—calling in top-tier talent from Genesis Biotech's branches all over the country. It was basically an all-star lineup.

But to Ethan, it looked more like a delivery driver convention.

"Sure is lively," he muttered under his breath, then turned his gaze toward the villa, thinking he might go "ask" someone else a few questions.

Meanwhile, Kara had wandered into one of the bedrooms.

She opened up a wardrobe and started rummaging through it.

Compared to sports cars, she had a soft spot for designer clothes and handbags—stuff she could actually wear back at Genesis Biotech.

The wardrobe was packed with high-end brands—Louis Vuitton, Gucci, you name it. The shelves were practically bursting with luxury.

"Ooh? What's this?"

But then she spotted something weird—a thick rope hanging inside the wardrobe.
