Asa leaned back on the couch, a thoughtful look on his face, "You do bring up a valid point."


    "Getting involved with the Davis family, should we inform Mr. Santos about this?" His assistant pondered the dilemma, adding, "Crossing the Davis family won''t do us any favors."


    The Davis family had been a dominant force in the state of M for many years, with an influence so profound it was beyond imagination.


    Just their financial power alone could monopolize the entire state. Although Asa''s organization was also at the peak of power, it was clear that an arm cannot twist a thigh inparison.


    Asa tapped his fingers on his knee, casually remarking, "It''s not us looking for the Davis family member, so it''s not about offending or not offending." After a pause, he seemed to recall something and asked, "Have we found out why Santos is looking for LIN''s sister?"


    "That''s the strange part. LIN''s sister grew up in the countryside and was only acknowledged by the family a couple of years ago. She seems to have had an unremarkable past," the assistant said, puzzled. "Maybe Mr. Santos is interested in her because of her medical skills?"


    After all,ing from that family, they were naturally interested in those with healing abilities.


    "Are we certain LIN''s sister was the one who took down Ben?" Asa inquired further.


    "Not certain, but it''s very likely," the assistant remembered another detail. "Also, LIN''s sister seems to have a significant connection with the head of the weapons agency."


    "Oh?" Asa raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly more intrigued, "Now, that does sound interesting."


    "The head of the weapons agency has always been known for his restraint and integrity, making it impossible to find any weaknesses in him for years. It''s surprising to hear a woman is now by his side," the assistant clicked his tongue lightly, pausing before adding, "But now, he might just have a vulnerability."


    Asa nced at his assistant nonchntly, "You think someone from the Davis family could be a vulnerability?"


    The assistant hesitated.


    Asa closed his eyes, falling silent.


    Ben was always cautious in his actions, but still ended up being outmaneuvered by that woman, a testament to her extraordinary nature.


    The whole countryside upbringing might just be a smokescreen.


    The assistant nced at Asa cautiously, hesitated, and then asked, "Should we inform Mr. Santos about this?"


    "Why not?" Asa responded without even opening his eyes.


    "I understand," the assistant nodded.

    The next day, at school.


    Mirabe finished herst exam and was officially on winter break.


    She first visited Professor Wade''s office in her department. Seeing Wade, she almost jumped in surprise.


    "Professor you look... have you been


    to the hospital yet?" Mirabe


    noticed Wade''s jaundiced


    She had forgotten about it, intending to prepare some medicine for Wade but got sidetracked by other matters.


    Professor Wade had been swamped with international journal articles conducting experiments by day and revising his papers by night, leaving him no time to rest, "Just haven''t been resting well."


    Mirabe fell silent for a moment before saying, "Professor, would you let me take your pulse?"


    Wade looked surprised, "You know how to do that, studied some alternative medicine?"


    "Just a bit," Mirabe hummed.


    Wade chuckled, extending
