"Could it be that you are the mutant who attacked just now?"

Looking at Mark's height and build, he finally recognized Mark as the second mutant who had appeared earlier.

"If you want to die, you can shout louder and bring all those people outside in."

Mark said in a flat tone.

He sneaked in to ask Joe Morgan some questions, and didn't kill the dozen or so armed gang guards in the yard, but that doesn't mean he couldn't.

"Mutants really are all monsters!"

Mark's tone and expression lacked the innocence and naivety expected of a six-year-old, which made Joe Morgan hesitant to treat Mark as an ordinary child.

"Tell me, who's behind your Latin gang? Why are you so fixated on Li Qianhuan and her sister? Aren't they worth the entire Latin gang going out to deal with?"

Mark asked.

"Don't kill me! I'll talk, I'll tell you everything..."

Feeling the sharp glint of the dagger against his neck, Joe Morgan dared not hide anything and immediately revealed the forces behind the Latin Gang and their purpose in targeting the Li Qianhuan sisters.

It turns out that the Latin gang was established with the support of the Hands and Confederation eight years ago.

At the time, the Hand Society's influence was mainly in New York. In order to extend its reach into Los Angeles, it sent a team of ninjas to support the Latino Gang.

Two years ago, Li Zhan acquired a bone fragment at Christie's, and Madame Gao ordered the Latino gang to help them get their hands on the bone fragment.

Hand and the gang will first use means to bankrupt Li Zhan's company.

Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to hand over the items under these circumstances, they sent Latin gang members to their home to kill Li Zhan and his wife.

Unexpectedly, the Li Qianhuan sisters escaped unharmed, and they never found the bone fragments.

Madam Gao suspected that the Li Qianhuan sisters knew the whereabouts of the bone fragments, so she had the Latin gang secretly track the two women's movements.

"So, this is all connected to the Hand and the Society! Could the bone fragments that Li Zhan photographed be dragon bones? No wonder the Latin Gang has been relentlessly pursuing the two sisters."

Mark finally figured out what had happened.

"Pfft!"

With a swift stroke of his dagger, he severed Joe Morgan's neck and turned to walk away.

"Uh, ho ho..."

Joe Morgan stared wide-eyed in terror at Mark's departing figure, then fell silent.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Dragon Bone Fragments

After leaving the Latin gang headquarters, Mark followed Alice's instructions and visited more than a dozen Latin gang leaders, including Ansel.

Mark learned from them that these people did not know that the Latin gang was backed by the Hand Society, nor did they know why Joe Morgan was so determined to capture the Li Qianhuan sisters.

Because Joe Morgan's stubbornness led to heavy losses for the Latino gang tonight, the leaders were very dissatisfied with him.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of them, Mark dealt with them all.

Without Joe Morgan and his gang, the Latin gang was naturally wiped out.

Even if the Hand wanted to rebuild a gang, it would be difficult to do so in a short period of time.

By the time Mark returned home, it was already daylight, and the police had already taken all the bodies away.

Michael's bodyguard captain went to the police station last night to cooperate with the investigation and has not yet returned.

The other bodyguards were busy repairing the surveillance and security grids that the gangsters had destroyed.

Mark greeted the group of bodyguards and then went to Li Qianhuan's room on the second floor.

At this moment, Li Qianhuan was lying on the bed resting, pale-faced and weak all over.

Li Qianle sat beside her, looking worried.

"Qianhuan, are you injured?"

Mark stepped forward to inquire with concern.

According to footage captured by the drone, Li Qianhuan did not appear to be injured last night, so it's unclear why she looked so weak.

"No, it's just that I overused my mutant abilities last night and it took a lot of energy."

Li Qianhuan shook her head and said.

"It's good that you're alright."

Mark nodded, relieved.

He then told Li Qianhuan the information he had extracted from Joe Morgan the previous night.

"W-what? So there were so many secrets behind my parents' deaths!"

Li Qianhuan's eyes were glazed over, and her expression changed constantly as Mark spoke.

She was young when her parents died, and she knew almost nothing about her family, which her parents never told her.

Li Qianhuan originally thought that the thugs who broke into her home and killed her were only after money.

Unexpectedly, the real reason behind it was a bone fragment that her father had accidentally acquired at auction.

"Hands and meetings!"

As Li Qianhuan murmured the name, a look of hatred flashed in her eyes as she thought of her parents' deaths and the hardships she and her sisters had endured over the past two years.

"Didn't your parents leave you anything before they died? Maybe if we find something and get rid of it now, we can prevent Shouhe from continuing to keep an eye on you and Qianle."

Mark asked.

Mark's strength is still rapidly increasing, and he doesn't want to face the Hand so soon.

After all, the Hand has many extraordinary individuals, making them more difficult to deal with than ordinary gangs like the Latin Gang.

"No, my parents' company had already gone bankrupt before they died. After they died, the court came to their door and seized the villa and all the other things in the house, which were then auctioned off to pay off their debts."

Li Qianhuan first shook her head, then hesitated for a moment before continuing, "However, there was a rather strange birthday present my father gave me two years ago."

What gift is it?

Mark's eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed for more information.

Li Qianhuan reached down and placed her hand on her neck, taking off a necklace that was hanging there.

The pendant at the bottom of the necklace is not a common design, but rather a gold key.

“My dad gave me this necklace as a birthday present. I was surprised and asked him why it was a key, but he didn’t tell me. Shortly after that, he had an accident.”

Li Qianhuan stroked the necklace in her hand, her eyes slightly red.

"Can I take a look?"

Mark reached out and asked.

This necklace was the only thing Li Qianhuan's parents left her, so it naturally held extraordinary significance.

But Li Qianhuan now trusted Mark completely, and without hesitation, she handed over the necklace.

Mark held it in his hand and examined it carefully, noticing a long string of numbers engraved on the gold key.

"Alice, search online for any information related to this type of key."

Mark took out a miniature camera he carried with him, scanned the key on the necklace, and gave the order to Alice.

"Searching... After searching, there is a 97% probability that this key is a Florida vault safe key."

Alice responded quickly.

Mark and Li Qianhuan exchanged a glance, both showing surprise.

Li Qianhuan originally thought of the key as an ordinary decorative pendant, but she never expected it to be a real key.

"How about I take you to Florida after you recover tomorrow?"

Mark suggested.

"it is good!"

Li Qianhuan nodded and gritted her teeth in agreement.

She also wanted to confirm whether the piece of bone stored in the safe was indeed the one that had caused her family's ruin.

In the afternoon, Rosalie called.

"Mark, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

As soon as the call connected, she asked anxiously.

She was filming when she received a call from the Los Angeles Police Department informing her that a fierce gunfight had broken out at her home, and she nearly fainted from fright.

Fortunately, she was relieved to learn that no one in her family was injured, and she immediately called Mark.

“I’m fine, don’t worry. When the incident happened at home, I was still on the plane.”

Mark reassured him.

In fact, he was shot by the Latin gang that night and was injured, but not seriously.

The bullet only pierced the skin on his back before being stopped by his stronger muscles and bones.

After raising his Super Physique to level 6, Mark's self-healing ability also improved significantly, and these minor injuries were basically healed after he returned home.

Of course, there was no need to tell Rosalie these things and make her worry.

Rosalie then spoke with Li Qianhuan and the bodyguards, and only after learning that none of her family members were injured did she hang up the phone with relief.

The next morning, Mark learned from the news that the Latin gang had been destroyed and its territory had been divided up by other gangs.

Then he and Li Qianhuan, who had recovered, went to the airport with two bodyguards.

Six hours later, they flew to Florida and then drove to Castle Lauderdale, where the insurance vault was located.

This is the Federation's most prestigious private insurance vault, used to store precious metals, collectibles, confidential documents, and other valuables for the Federation's wealthy.

After entering the castle, Mark and Li Qianhuan found the front desk manager to retrieve their belongings.

Li Zhan initially opted for anonymous storage; Castle Lauderdale only recognizes the key, not the person.

Li Qianhuan handed the golden key to the front desk manager, who then gave her a safe deposit box number: G-15-4502.

The two quickly located the safe by following the number.

"Crack!"

Li Qianhuan inserted the gold key into the keyhole of the safe and gently turned it to open the safe.

Inside the safe was only a small suitcase, which wasn't locked and could be opened with a gentle tap.

"Could this be the dragon bone fragment that caused Li Qianhuan's family to be destroyed?"

Mark looked at the contents of the suitcase.

Inside was just a piece of bone about the size of a fist, with a bluish-green jade-like appearance.

Moreover, there was a faint golden light flowing inside this bone fragment, which looked extremely mysterious.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Upgrade Again

Mark reached out and took out the dragon bone fragment; this fist-sized piece of dragon bone weighed more than 30 kilograms.

He applied slight pressure with his palm, but even with a grip strength exceeding one ton, he did not cause any damage to the fragment.

In terms of both density and hardness, this keel fragment surpasses most hard alloys.

"As expected of dragon bones... I can't imagine how powerful this dragon must have been when it was alive."

Mark was secretly alarmed. He put the dragon bone back into the briefcase and looked at Li Qianhuan beside him: "What do you plan to do with this dragon bone fragment?"

"Is it because of this thing that my parents were killed?"

Li Qianhuan's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Then she closed the briefcase again and handed it to Mark, saying, "You can handle this dragon bone fragment!"

"Are you sure? This thing is priceless!"

Mark looked at her in surprise.

Dragon bones contain immense life energy, and if extracted, they could be used to extend human lifespan.
