Sami was about to inquire further when a video call came through the Al interface. 𝘧𝘳ℯ𝓮𝘸𝓮𝑏𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Switching on the Al, Sami saw that Liao Chen had aged significantly in just a few days.
“Liao Xi, you’re awake? The cub’s blood worked!” Liao Chen’s sunken eyes finally displayed a glimmer of joy.
“How did you end up like this?” Liao Xi didn’t mince her words. “I knew the blood of the Liao Family would work. Why did you need me to conduct so many experiments? We are indeed siblings!”
Liao Xi’s words displeased Liao Chen. “It’s an honor for you to contribute to my cause! You’re aiding the future head of the Liao Family. I’ve already dispatched the army to retrieve you, bring back Liao Nai, and reveal your location to me.”
Sami stole a glance at Liao Xi, who wore a faint smile. “You can’t bear it, can you? It seems you can only survive a few more years with the blood from my heart.”
Sami’s eyes widened upon hearing this revelation. She had been completely unaware. Liao Chen asked calmlv, “What is it that vou desire?”
“Do I have the freedom to do anything I please?” Liao Xi smiled. “Well, that’s true. The pure bloodline of the Liao Family rests in my hands, and your life depends on my whims.”
Liao Chen narrowed his eyes but remained silent, while Liao Ning carefully analyzed the conversation between the two.
“You’re not the only one aware of the Liao Family’s secret. I too am a member of the Liao Family, and just look,” Liao Xi leaned closer to the camera. “Observe how youthful and vibrant I am. Unlike you, I fear that your funeral is fast approaching, isn’t it?”
Liao Chen seethed with anger, coughing uncontrollably but unable to utter a word. After a few minutes, he composed himself and asked, “Liao Xi, what do you want?”
“I want the Liao Family’s assets.” Liao Xi instructed Sami to bring Liao Ning to their location so that Liao Chen could see them.
“Why haven’t you killed her? Once she’s dead, the Liao Family will be mine, ours!” Liao Chen’s face turned crimson with rage.
“Why kill her? If she’s willing to transfer the inheritance to me, I can become the head of the Liao Family as well, ” Liao Xi declared with satisfaction. “And I can enjoy a long life. Liao Chen, think carefully before you engage with me.”
Without hesitation, Liao Xi ended the call and then indicated a location for Sami to fly to.
Liao Ning was utterly stunned by the unfolding events. The fact that the siblings were truly related by blood and had no regard for family ties, except for their own gains, deeply troubled her. It dawned on her that she owed her survival to Liao Xi’s actions.

Only now did Liao Ning recall her hidden mission—to uncover the secrets of Liao Chen and the others, as well as the secrets of the Sam Family, in order to gather clues about her own identity.
With that in mind, she inquired, “It seems like you have a strained relationship with your brother. So he’s after me and Liao Nai solely for his own benefit.”
Liao Xi cast a disdainful glance at her. “You don’t need to sow discord between us. We don’t have a good relationship. We’re merely using each other.”
Recalling how Liao Chen had cast her aside during the attack and forced her into a marriage with the despicable Count Sam, Liao Xi seethed with anger.
Particularly when Liao Chen approached her again, she had thought he had finally found his conscience, only to discover that he wanted her heart’s blood.
It was Liao Chen’s assault on her that had caused her to age rapidly and fall into a coma.
Liao Ning’s mocking continued, “What can you possibly do with him? He’s part of the Interstellar Alliance, and you’re stuck here on Planet Dynasty. You might even end up being captured and taken back.”
Unfazed, Liao Xi responded, pretending not to care, “As long as I have him in my possession, he’ll find a way to rescue me. Besides, you’re not the only one I hold leverage over. I also possess the Sam Family’s properties and secrets.”
Upon hearing about the Sam Family’s secrets, Liao Ning grew increasingly nervous. The Sam Family had other hidden truths.
Just as Liao Ning was about to inquire further, the aircraft began its descent, and what she saw outside the window left her utterly shocked..
