[Recently, the power struggle triggered by the death of Mr. Li Shen Yi, the chairman of Bao Han Company, has finally come to an end. This actual war concluded with his granddaughter, Li Xinyue, inheriting the chairman position. Next, we will broadcast an interview with Ms. Li—]

Li Xinyue sat in the TV studio, with the host of this program, also a woman, sitting across a low table on her right side. She was dressed in a mature style, exuding a competent aura.

However, when she sat alongside Li Xinyue, it was clear that Li Xinyue's presence was more formidable.

The host pursed her red lips, a bit nervously, and asked Li Xinyue, "Ms. Li, is the information you previously provided to our station true?"

Li Xinyue showed no expression and nodded, "Yes, it's true. I can show my grandfather's recent health reports, which indicate that until half a month ago, his body was very healthy, and he could have easily lived another ten or twenty years. Led by my second uncle, Li Siyuan, a group of my relatives murdered my grandfather. Upon learning that the will explicitly stated that I would inherit Bao Han Company, they even planned to bring me back and kill me too.

"That way, they would have a chance to inherit Bao Han Company!"

Although she was merely stating facts, the host felt a murderous air in Li Xinyue's words.

The host swallowed, cautiously asking, "And then…"

Li Xinyue said calmly, "I killed them all. Of course, it was in self-defense. Over the past year, I became a Hunter on Crimson No.2, and this time I returned with a friend. Fortunately, with his help, otherwise I would have been in trouble."

For a moment, the host felt a chill on her scalp.

Wasn't Li Siyuan a relative of Li Xinyue? And quite closely related too.

Although Li Xinyue appeared calm and her words were vague, anyone could discern the bloodshed implied.

The host chuckled awkwardly, and at the director's cue, the live broadcast switched to a drone flying over the Li Family Manor.

The drone captured a shocking scene: two massive vertical stone slabs in the back courtyard of the Li Family Manor, where once there was elegant landscaping, now nothing but barren land, with one slab bearing a large hole, showcasing to the live audience how intense the battle was.

By comparing with the original photos of the backyard, the audience could see how fierce the fight was.

[Is this the power humans can wield?]

[The Engravers are terrifying...]

[What if an Engraver went on a killing spree in the city...] (This user has been banned)

[Was this done by Li Xinyue's friend?]

Reading the comments streaming from the prompt board, the host turned to Li Xinyue, asking, "Did you and the enemy leave this behind?"

Li Xinyue shook her head honestly, "No, I'm just a Sequence 4 low-level Hunter, with only three Engravings. The enemy was a Sequence Three Mage with six Engravings. Those two enormous stone slabs are his work, and the bodies of Li Siyuan and the others are inside them."

The host glanced at the live image, now focused on the slab's large hole, a thought striking her, "Did your friend make this large hole?"

Li Xinyue nodded, "Yes, my friend was pinned by the two stone slabs by the enemy and could only break through the slab to escape."

Looking at the two huge stone slabs and the hole in the slab, the host felt a sense of unreality.

Though people knew there existed Abysses, Demons, and mutated creatures lived outside the city, they weren't too familiar with Engravers.

City dwellers, always in a state of peace, found it hard to imagine the sheer power of Engravers, who in their minds seemed more like movie characters. Even knowing about the Engravers' strength, they felt distant through a screen, seeing them as unrelated, no matter their might.

But now, a battle between Engravers unfolded around them, and from the visual intensity, the Engravers at the Li Family Manor possessed a destructive Divine Power, capable of easily demolishing city buildings.

At this point, the host and audience were informed about what Sequence Three Engravers entailed.

"A Sequence Three Engraver needs to have more than four Engravings, being the backbone of various exploratory towns. In some, Sequence Three is the highest-ranking Hunter. Each Engraving on an Engraver represents a huge gap. Sequence Two Engravers require eight Engravings. The six-Engraving Engraver involved in this event is an extremely powerful being, comparable to City-breaking Level Demons!"

Saying this, the host couldn't help but draw a soft breath.

No wonder, from the visual representation, it wielded the power to destroy city structures; turns out Sequence Three Hunters are on par with City-breaking Level Demons.

[What's so special about City-breaking Level Demons; didn't Yan Luo kill one before? Surely he wasn't an ordinary person then, but he hadn't even reached Sequence Three, right?]

[The user above, Yan Luo killed a City-breaking Level mutated creature; it's not the same as a Demon.]

[Yeah, Demons generally have superpowers and deflection shields made of Magic Power. Even machine-gun fire can't hit them.]

[It's not just the deflection shields; even machine-gun fire directly wouldn't hurt them!]

Even the host, aware for the first time of the horrors of City-breaking Level Demons, softly asked Li Xinyue if it was true.

Li Xinyue nodded again, "Yes, City-breaking Level Demons are that terrifying. Without a city's protective shield, they could easily breach city walls. Tall buildings within the city can be easily destroyed by them."

The host was greatly shocked.

At this point, she received a notice from the director, urging her to bring the topic back and avoid digressing.

The host pondered a moment then asked Li Xinyue, "Ms. Li, now that you've taken over as chairman of Bao Han Company, will you make any adjustments to the company's development direction?"

Finally reaching this point!

Currently, many were watching this live news broadcast, and Li Xinyue had to instill confidence in the company's shareholders and consumers.

Considering her words carefully, Li Xinyue seriously stated, "First, I won't make any modifications to the current strategies. Bao Han Company has always adhered to an honest and affordable development policy, and that will remain unchanged. We won't easily alter our production lines or raw materials, nor change product formulas, and we won't betray our loyal consumers.

"Secondly, as long as it doesn't hinder our current development trend, we'll allocate funds to support the development of various Abysses, as this correlates with our future direction. I can currently disclose that our company has acquired some tangible Abyssal plants, which we will research and develop, aiming to launch new products with an Abyss flavor!"

The last half-sentence was what Li Xinyue truly wanted to say.

Boosting confidence in shareholders and consumers is not achieved through mere promises; Li Xinyue needed to present something perceptible to the stock market.

It just so happened, as Yan Luo had already opened routes to two other cities in the Elf World, Bao Han Company might obtain more quantity and variety of Abyss plants from other Elf Cities.

Currently, no other food company globally is researching Abyss plants. Bao Han Company's announcement should help stabilize the volatile stock market.

The news broadcast ended, and Li Xinyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Only then did the host, twenty years her senior, realize that Li Xinyue is still a young person, and her prior confidence and assertiveness were merely a facade.

Li Xinyue bid farewell to the host and the other staff in the studio, thanked them for their hard work, and left in high heels, taking Yan Luo and Sasa from the television station's lounge.

Li Xinyue came without other assistants, only bringing Yan Luo and Sasa.

Because she knew they had tasks to accomplish in Celestial Sea City.

"Next, we should head to Celestial Sea University."
