"It seems to have been done by someone within the Group, and to be able to create an accident without leaving any traces to avoid alerting my parents, it must be a high-ranking person trusted by the couple. Money does move people's hearts!" Zane muttered to himself.

"Accept."

Immediately, Zane accepted the task without hesitation. Even if the system didn't issue this task, Zane planned to investigate the cause of death of the parents of this body. If it was an accident, it would be fine, but if it was intentional, Zane didn't mind letting his hands get bloody for the first time.

After all, Zane crossed over and took possession of someone else's body, inheriting a fortune of billions. Zane wasn't scum enough to enjoy the enormous wealth without doing anything. His conscience wouldn't allow it.

Zane took a deep breath and, based on the memories of this body, found a gun and several magazines in the bedroom drawer. Then, he activated the skill [Thousand Faces]

Zane's body was suddenly shrouded in black mist. When the mist dissipated, Zane had transformed into a robust Caucasian man with a height of 190 cm. He looked completely different, and even his voice sounded different, gravelly and unsettling.

Having tested it, Zane found himself perfectly adapted to the changed body. He secretly praised the power of the skill.

According to his memory, Zane headed straight to the Tower. Before leaving, he also activated [God's Absence] to prevent anyone from seeing him leave the villa.

Half an hour later, Zane skillfully arrived at the entrance of the building. In a concealed corner, he held his breath and activated [God's Absence] to check if anyone could see him. The security guard at the entrance seemed oblivious to Zane's presence, allowing him to enter the building confidently.

Once inside, Zane walked into the shadows and deactivated [God's Absence]. He then followed a petite female employee into the elevator.

Zane took the opportunity to observe the young woman's appearance. Though not stunningly beautiful, she had a clean and pure look. Such women were rare in the open and direct culture of the United States.

At the moment, she seemed like a frightened kitten, shivering in the farthest corner from Zane, occasionally glancing at him and the elevator's display, afraid that Zane might do something untoward.

Anna swore that she had never felt time pass so slowly. She desperately wanted to escape from the elevator and put as much distance between herself and Zane. The pitiful appearance made people involuntarily want to bully her.

In reality, it wasn't her fault for being timid. Zane's changed appearance was quite intimidating, with a height of 190 cm and bulging muscles, giving a strong oppressive feeling. Combined with the grim scar on his face, he exuded an aura of someone ready to commit violence at any moment.

Zane chuckled at Anna's uneasy demeanor. A mischievous inclination surfaced, and using his intimidating voice, he said, "What's your name?"

Hearing Zane's voice, Anna instinctively reacted, responding with a trembling voice, "Anna…. Anna Pez."

"Ah, just graduated this year?"

"Yes, Sir. I'm interning at the Group."

As if God had heard Anna's prayer, the elevator finally reached its destination. In the moment the doors opened, wearing high heels, Anna rushed out of the elevator at an Olympian sprint, as if there was a fearsome beast inside.

Zane watched her disappearing figure, unable to hold back a sly smile. Shouting after her, he said, "Anna, right? I'll remember you."

Then, the elevator doors closed. Anna, who heard Zane's words, froze in place.

"He will remember me?. He won't... won't kill me, right? He is not a serial killer right? No, no, he is terrifying but maybe not a serial killer hopefully." In this state of fear, Anna stood still, tears swirling in her eyes. Her mind echoed with Zane's words, 'I'll remember you.'

Back in the elevator, Zane retracted the smile on his face. Coldness appeared in his eyes as he glanced at the small map. The six red dots indicating the targets remained unmoved. It seemed that they wouldn't move for a short period, saving Zane the trouble of running back and forth.

Ding!

With the sound of the bell, the elevator door opened, displaying the 65th floor on the screen. Planning to ascend the stairs to the 66th floor, Zane decided to deactivate [God's Absence]. Although the skill could eliminate his presence, achieving an effect even more impressive than invisibility, opening the elevator door in front of others without anyone coming out would inevitably make people vigilant.

Rapidly climbing the stairs, Zane entered the 66th floor and, in an instant, held his breath to activate [God's Absence] again. Then, he calmly walked past more than ten armed guards, pushing open the door to the meeting room at the corner.

Perhaps because the people inside were discussing confidential matters, the bodyguards kept a certain distance from the door. This conveniently worked in Zane's favor. If the door suddenly opened without anyone coming out, Zane would undoubtedly have to eliminate these guards, even if they were innocent.

Entering the meeting room, Zane saw six middle-aged men chatting animatedly. Glancing at their faces, he realized they were high-ranking executives from his own company, the individuals his parents had trusted the most.

"The couple is finally dead. Now, there's only that 16-year-old kid left. We can easily control him."

"Hahaha..."

"That pair of assholes had been sitting on our heads for so long. I've wanted to get rid of them, but it's a pity we couldn't eliminate their child."

"Don't worry. Once that brat comes to his senses, we'll create an accident. The entire fortune of Group will be ours. At that time, everyone here will have a wealth that can't be squandered in this lifetime."

"Alright, everyone, let's toast to the success of our plan."

After saying this, the six people raised their champagne glasses, excitedly envisioning their future loaded with wealth.

It seemed these greedy beasts were discussing how to kill Zane and legally obtain the enormous inheritance. Zane stood nearby, looking at them with indifferent eyes, as if he weren't the person they had just planned to kill. There was no hint of anger in his eyes, as no one gets angry at a dead person.
