When Valerie gave him coffee, Ryan's eyes surrounded the room and realized that everyone was still busy working. Apparently, no one was staring at them. Ryan quickly squeezed Valerie's ass while his other hand accepted the coffee.

Valerie was a little surprised and immediately blushed, Ryan then took his hand back and wrote on paper.

Valerie shifted her gaze towards Ryan and saw him write only one word— toilet!

Thinking about what it meant, Valerie felt that she could no longer hold herself back and couldn't wait to meet Ryan. Seeing Ryan blink at her after he left the room, Valerie looked sheepish. At least, she had to pause a little so that no one got suspicious.

Ryan was pleased with the development of Potion X as well as his relationship with Valerie.

Meanwhile, in Batavia.

"What?!!"

Nicholas, the head of the Kruger family, was shocked after he listened to reports from his men over the phone. He was completely taken aback by what he had just heard.

"Repeat your words," A tone of disbelief could be heard from Nicholas's voice.

"Sir, our young master is dead,"

The voice of his subordinates sounded low, he was originally reluctant to give the bad news.

"Who did it?" Nicholas forced himself to stay calm and asked as calmly as possible.

"Ryan from the city of Avalerion."

DUAK!

Nicholas was really angry, he slammed his cellphone and knocked everything on the table. Though he had vented his anger, the resentment in his heart still didn't go away. Nicholas then kicked the flower pot next to him.

"I will kill you….!"

Everyone in the room didn't dare to comment. That was the first time they saw their great master so angry.

"Call the members of the family for a meeting!" Nicholas said to his son who was on the side. Hearing his father's order, he immediately bowed and left.

Shortly thereafter, the sudden family meeting finally began. This meeting was not their first— this was their second after the sudden encounter which was only a few days apart. The first was done by telephone because many members of the main family were not at home. What they had in common was that their topic always concerned a man named Ryan.

"Gerard is dead," Nicholas stared at everyone present. They were the elders and close relatives of the Kruger family.

"What? Your son died?"

"How? Was he murdered?"

This news really made them all furious. Gerard was the descendant of the head of the family. In other words, he was the candidate for successor and future head of this aristocratic family. If it's true that Gerard was killed, this was the biggest humiliation this family had ever received!

This incident would be such a huge slap to the face of the Kruger family if it reached people's ears, therefore they had to think about this matter seriously.

For a moment, everyone's blood was boiling with rage as they wanted to skin the alive of the person who had offended their family.

"The person who killed him was Ryan, the young man who attacked Gerard from last time," Nicholas spoke again after a brief pause. In an instant, everyone fell silent.

After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke up. "The person behind Ryan is someone we can't offend,"

"But no one has ever dared to harass our family before," another member replied. "Since when are we silent and obedient to others?"

Speaking of the power that supported Ryan from behind, everyone in the Kruger family really didn't dare to deal with him. It seemed that their previous incident with Ryan's grandfather at the Lacroix family's mansion reminded them of the grim terror they'd long forgotten.

"After all, Ryan must die to atone for his sins!" Seeing his family's debate getting off track, Nicholas expressed his opinion. The look in his eyes was completely filled with flames of hatred.

"The old man is strong and we can't do anything about him. But next month there will be a big event, that old man will definitely not have time to watch over us. Ryan will die in our hands at that time!" Nicholas said.

Even though they didn't know what kind of event Nicholas was referring to, they did not dare to argue or comment after seeing Nicholas burn with anger. Moreover, if the Kruger family used all their assets and strength, they could even conquer the world.

.........…

Ryan suddenly sneezed, it seemed like someone was talking about him?

"Valerie, please get samples upstairs, okay?" Ryan said to Valerie. For several minutes waiting on the toilet, Valerie did not come and this made Ryan a little sad.

It looked like the girl didn't want this relationship to be discovered so maybe Valerie was trying to restrain herself.

But after seeing Valerie's ass that passed through him, Ryan carefully squeezed it once again. Valerie was a little surprised and blushed, she couldn't count how many times Ryan had teased her today. 

Ryan was getting bolder and bolder even though they were still in their workplace with many eyes watching over them.

However, it seemed that this tension made Valerie even more aroused. 

At the same time, potion X progressed a little. Ryan stared at the gray liquid in the reaction tube. Upon inspection, it seemed like this was a little better than before.

The development of this potion was already on the right track, it would be nice if he still had a few months but his situation left him insufficient.

Ryan and his team had been really busy all day and at lunchtime, he wanted to invite Valerie to eat together but he saw Valerie was taken away by her friends.

"Valerie, there is a buy 5 free 1 meal promo! Let's try it out!" Her friend didn't accept refusal from her. 

Again, Ryan's heart became sad when he saw Valerie being taken away.

In the midst of his downturn, Ryan decided to eat alone because he was craving to eat grilled ribs.

Arriving in front of the restaurant and when he was about to open the door, Ryan suddenly felt his whole body stiffen. In an instant, the energy within him churned like a tsunami. The energy was about to devour him alive in one swoop.

Sweat immediately flooded him from top to bottom. He was sweating hard while his body's temperature dropped extremely, making him cold.

Seeing that he was about to lose control, Ryan quickly took and drank the medicine he got from the third grandfather. After the drug entered his body, it immediately started working quickly. At this moment, his turbulent energy was met with the energy that came from the medicine, so the tsunami immediately receded.

'Whoaaaa!'

Ryan exhaled deeply. Luckily he managed to control his body, otherwise he might pass out in this place.

The side effects of the drug then began to kick in, Ryan could not hold back his lust which began to take over him. Every woman he saw at that time looked so seductive, as if inviting him to release his lust.

While staggering, Ryan tried to find a shady place away from people. This great lust might darken his eyes and made him attack any woman he met.

Unintentionally, Mia was nearby looking for a place to eat lunch. Seeing a familiar figure, Mia decided to greet Ryan. But the way he walked and the hand that gripped his chest made Mia wonder what was happening to the guy.

"Hey, are you okay?" Mia managed to approach Ryan and grabbed his shoulder. When Ryan turned around, Mia was a little scared to see him.

Ryan's face was completely red, the skin on his neck was no different. Not to mention, his eyes looked very sharp and his breathing was heavy.

"Ryan what are you doing?" Mia was confused what to do. "Are you ..."

However, before she could finish asking, Ryan hugged her with both hands.

"Ah! What are you doing!?"

When Mia was about to escape, Ryan was already kissing her lips!

In an instant, Mia was shocked and confused, she couldn't believe the man's actions.

Even though Ryan was perverted and had groped her, he was never like this before. This time, Ryan really forced his way to kiss her.

Feeling she was sexually assaulted, Mia quickly pushed Ryan away.

After stomping on the man's feet several times, Ryan finally let go of their kiss. Mia then took the opportunity to let herself go.

"I didn't expect you to be like this," Mia said with a disgusted face.

Mia's heart was filled with hatred. She initially thought Ryan was a pervert and couldn't stop joking around but he was also someone she could rely on at any time. 

But after the guy forcefully snatched her kiss, she felt her pride as a woman was being crushed. It's not that she didn't want to kiss him, but Ryan really didn't care about her feelings at all!
