"What? Benjamin still hasn't shown up and you haven't seen him anywhere? Alright, I got it, I'll go to his house myself!"

The next moment, Matthew's brow furrowed into a knot, he hung up the phone, his face filled with anger and confusion.

He was angry because Benjamin had taken David's money and disappeared, playing hide and seek. Wasn't he asking for death?!

His confusion was because Benjamin, who loved to live carefree, had received money and didn't go out to enjoy himself, which was abnormal.

"Son, what's wrong? Did something unexpected happen? Should I come up with a solution?" His father saw the situation and spoke in a deep voice.

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? He's just a waste. There's no need for you, father, to get involved. Leave it to me." Matthew shook his head and said, "Dad, mom, stay at home and I'll go see Benjamin and make him take care of Ryan!"

"Good! You must avenge your brother!" Zhang's mother nodded vigorously, clenching her teeth.

Matthew nodded vigorously and walked out of the door with big strides.

A moment later, District 8, bachelor apartment.

"Benjamin, open the door!"

Matthew walked confidently to the door of an apartment, banged on the door twice, and shouted angrily.

But even though the door made a loud noise, there was silence inside.

"Playing dead with me? I think you're looking for death!"

Matthew immediately leaned against the door and listened carefully for any sound inside. When he found that it was silent, he sneered, looked around to make sure no one was around, and put his hand in his pocket, taking out his detective's badge. He swiped it on the reader of the door, and with a "click", the door opened.

The room was empty.

Where did Benjamin go?

Matthew's expression became bewildered when he saw this. He walked into the room, closed the door, turned on the light, and scanned the room with sharp eyes.

Soon, he noticed that Benjamin's holographic communication device was on the table. Not only that, there was food in the microwave.

The appearance was as if someone had just gone out and would be back soon.

However, when Matthew walked to the microwave, opened the door and touched the food inside, he found that the food was cold. However, the seal of the food had already been opened, and it was heated.

"Benjamin is missing!"

This discovery made Matthew's expression instantly become serious.

All the unusual things in the house only indicated one thing. Benjamin seemed to have gone out for a while and thought he would be back soon, so he left his holographic communication device at home and timed the heating of his food, planning to have a meal when he returned.

However, things didn't go as planned. Benjamin went out and never returned.

Two days had passed!

Without his holographic communication device, where did Benjamin go? What did he do?

Matthew closed his eyes, and his thoughts kept changing as he relied on his years of experience in the detective team to reason.

"Did Ryan kill Benjamin?"

A moment later, Matthew opened his eyes and whispered in disbelief.

Based on his understanding of Benjamin, this guy was definitely someone who took money to do things.

With David's money, coupled with his own identity, and David's family's position in Diamond Valley, there was no reason for him not to do things for David.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Without his holographic communication device, Benjamin must have been worried about being tracked.

Heating up the food was something Benjamin felt was simple, something he could do when he returned in a short while.

Therefore, it could be inferred that after Benjamin took the money, he chose to go out to deal with Ryan. Before leaving, he left his holographic communication device at home and heated up his food, planning to have a late-night snack when he returned. However, he never returned after leaving.

But Ryan was just a waste. How could he deal with Benjamin, a First Grade peak Elite?

Unless there was something secret about Ryan.

"Yes, that must be it! Something is strange about Ryan!"

Thinking of this, Matthew's breathing became rapid.

Ryan had been strange lately. Not only had the three-year stagnation of his brain domain development degree started to improve, but if he had also killed Benjamin, it was enough to show that Ryan had obtained something extraordinary.

A waste rising again and killing a First Grade peak Elite, and a fragment room design killing a quasi-genius teenager!

If Ryan did obtain something extraordinary, then this opportunity was definitely extraordinary!

"My chance, maybe it's here! A waste can become so powerful after obtaining an opportunity, then what about me?"

Matthew's heart was surging, and suddenly, he felt that a path to strength had unfolded before him.

He decided to find an opportunity to personally meet Ryan and see what was going on.

As long as he could become stronger, what did Leo's warning matter!

Could they really defeat David's family? David's family was not easy to deal with!

Moreover, when he got the opportunity to leap in strength, if Leo really wanted to move, he would have to weigh whether he wanted to cause trouble for the hopeful David's family because of a dead person.

As for avenging David, he didn't even want to think about it now. David's strength was his own, and it had nothing to do with him, just a little bit of glory.

Only self-strength could make him enjoy infinite benefits!

"Get him! Find out everything!"

Matthew clenched his fists suddenly, his eyes filled with a strong desire and ruthlessness.

A First Grade peak Elite like Benjamin couldn't deal with Ryan, so could he, a 2nd Grade peak Elite, not be Ryan's opponent?

Regardless of the opportunity, it was prepared by heaven for him, Matthew!

……

Diamond Valley Shinto Research Institute, Divinity Laboratory.

"All right, time's up. Let's test your brain waves first and then go back..."

The three-hour experiment passed in an instant. After the time was up, Bianca clicked her tongue in regret but still waved her hand to signal Ryan to stop the experiment. She could tell that Ryan's willpower was clearly struggling at this point.

In his last few attempts, his hands were trembling constantly, and he failed after dividing the seven layers. This meant that even if he persisted, there would be no greater gains.

However, Ryan's talent was enough to surprise her. The last time he stripped away his spiritual power, he had reached an astonishing thirteen layers.

He achieved thirteen layers on his first attempt.

She looked forward to Ryan giving her even more surprises in the future. There was no need to try to get everything all at once.

"Okay, I'll come earlier tomorrow."

Although Ryan was also reluctant, he understood that six hours of persistence was already the limit of his willpower. Even with the Divine Fire, the invasion of pain was still a kind of damage to the body and mind. If he continued to stay, if any accidents occurred, it would not be worth the loss. He put down the Divine Eye Glasses and the Wulu Alloy Knife on the experimental table, thanked Bianca, and then put on the brainwave detector.

"[Beep...beep...brainwave development rate, 10.1407%]"

Soon, the familiar electronic synthesis sound rang out.

It had increased by 0.07%!

Bianca was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth. This brainwave development speed was really incredible. She wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

Although she knew that Divine.Jacob had experienced a miracle of a 1% increase in brainwave development rate every day, that was still Divine.Jacob, one of only two supreme gods among the human race.

And the miracle created by Divine.Jacob was not only irreproducible, but it was also obtained after entering the Metaverse and getting an extremely incredible opportunity.

Ryan had not yet undergone spiritual and martial fusion.

Could it be that Ryan could become the second Divine.Jacob?

If she wasn't completely focused on Divinity research now, she really wanted to cut open Ryan's head and carefully examine his brain.

Although Ryan looked surprised on his face as well, he was secretly laughing in his heart. He could almost guess that Bianca was now thinking about cutting open his brain to study what was inside.

"Good progress. Okay, let's go."

After a long time, Bianca waved her hand weakly, indicating that Ryan should leave.

"Thank you, Bianca." Ryan thanked her with a fist, then walked out of the research lab.

"Take the knife with you. Play with it when you have nothing to do, so you can get familiar with its weight and feel."

At this moment, Bianca stopped Ryan and threw the Wulu Alloy Knife to him.

Ryan was surprised when he heard this. The Wulu Alloy was extremely precious. Bianca actually let him take it out of the laboratory. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed it.

"What? Do you think I'm worried that you'll steal the knife or sell it? Even if you dare to sell it, would anyone in Diamond Valley dare to buy it?"

Bianca seemed to see through what Ryan was thinking, raised her eyebrows, and laughed lightly.

"Thank you, Bianca." Ryan smiled and thanked Bianca with a fist before turning to leave.

Wulu Alloy was extremely precious and priceless. In other places, someone might be able to buy it, but at Diamond Valley, there was no one with such a big budget.

And this was also the sadness of a small place.

Perhaps it was calm, but it also meant that it was difficult to see the big excitement.

Only by going out can one see a bigger world and more excitement!
