One of these perks included limited access to the association's database.

“Hey, Mr. Lawrence, you don't view me as a villain, do you?"

Lilliana was confident that Jadiel couldn't discover any faults with her.

She had every reason to be self-assured.

The mastermind behind her forged identity documents hailed from the most elite hacking crew in the foreign world, the “Empire”!

Without meticulous planning, how could Octavian have possibly secured an examination slot from the Jenkins family, or how could he have dared to send Lilliana to partake in this test?

Pill alchemists held immense importance in the local ancient martial world, and they were even rarer and more prized in foreign territories!

Had one of Lilliana's parents not hailed from Highwyn, and been a renowned pill alchemist in the world of ancient martial arts, she wouldn't have naturally possessed alchemical aptitude, let alone undergone alchemical training since her youth.

“Humph!" Jadiel grunted.

Confronted by Lilliana's nearly overt taunting, Jadiel felt utterly powerless.

Just as Jadiel was on the verge of conceding, he suddenly realized that his mouse and keyboard were seemingly beyond his command!

“Hmm... What's going on..."

Startled and enraged, Jadiel discerned that an intruder had breached his computer system.

A hacker, perhaps?

At a time when he was scrutinizing Lilliana, his computer was under siege?

Could this be an accomplice of Lilliana's?

She was indeed deeply suspicious!

As Jadiel pondered this, his computer screen started to refresh at an alarming pace.

Subsequently, Lilliana's initial identity information vanished entirely from the screen, replaced by an entirely fresh set of personal details concerning her.

"Lilliana Mullins, a woman of 32, Ibaeni-national, holding the esteemed rank of a fourth-grade upper pill alchemist.

Affiliation: Empire. Occupying the role of a consultant regarding Highwyns, she serves as a personal assistant to Octavian, the supreme ruler of the 'Empire'..."
