Chapter 416:
But then, Khloe added, “I am Magician.”
When Rhett and Tess heard the revelation, they were shocked, looking as though they had been struck by a
sudden bolt of lightning.
Could Khloe actually be Magician? The very sMagician who was a mythical figure in medicine, held in the
highest regard by the wealthy and powerful worldwide? Many had spent fortunes for just a glimpse of this
elusive healer. Even Henrik, with his vast network of global influence, had never boasted that he could track
down Magician.
A heavy silence followed, broken only by Rhett, who was usually the epitof respectability, now erupting into
laughter. “Khloe, when did you start being so funny?”
Khloe’s face remained impassive. “I'm not joking.”
This response sent Tess and Rhett into a renewed silence.
With a mix of boldness and impulsiveness, Tess reached out to check Khloe’s forehead before turning to Rhett
with a grave expression. “She doesn’t have a fever, so what's with the crazy talk?”
Khloe, speechless, took Tess’s hand. Here she was, sharing her deepest truth, yet they took it as a joke.
This hesitation to disclose her identity as Magician had deep roots.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFollowing her parents’ divorce at a young age, Khloe dived into biopharmaceutical research. Despite her
pioneering work and numerous inventions, her young age led many to dismiss her abilities, unwilling to test or
adopt her formulas.
Initially, Khloe secretly distributed her medicines to the needy in slums, meeting with mixed results. Some
recipients reported success, while others saw no benefit.
There were even instances where Khloe doubted whether her treatments had been administered at all. To
protect her anonymity, she acquired programming and hacking skills. As the efficacy of her potions increased
and her fbegan to spread, she feared exposure and chose to study overseas. Adopting the alias “Magician,”
she continued her research anonymously.

Without her subsequent arrest, Magician would likely still be operating globally.
Khloe was aware that revealing her identity would invite relentless skepticism and demands for validation.
Society tended to favor the idea of an aged expert over a young prodigy like Khloe, who possessed such
significant scholarly depth. Revealing her identity would not only cast doubts upon her but also potentially
ostracize her.
Nevertheless, Khloe placed her trust in Henrik’s close associates, which prompted her to disclose her true
identity.
Rhett and Tess, unaware of this entire backstory, could see the gravity in Khloe’s demeanor. Struggling to find
the right words, Rhett cautioned, “Khloe, please don’t mention this at Zhecrora University! There are many fans
of Magician there. If they learn of your claim to be Magician, despite your impressive showdown with the elite
class, they will undoubtedly band together to question and criticize you.”
Indeed, Rhett himself was a fan of Magician. Were it not for his high regard for Khloe’s character and capabilities,
as well as her engagement to Henrik, he would have taken a harsher stance. Anyone else asserting such a claim
would have faced his wrath, likely ending their career prospects in the academic world.
Feeling the tension in the air, Tess suggested, “We're at the warehouse! First things first, let's take a look at the
cars. Khloe, you've been using Henrik’s vehicle for outings, but now that you're the owner of Oasis Laboratory,
it’s tyou have a car of your own!”
Shelton guided them to a gleaming limited-edition sports car within the warehouse. Recognizing the need to
lighten the mood, he introduced the vehicle enthusiastically. “Please direct your attention here; this is the crown
jewel of our collection, a McLaren that is one of only three existing globally! Its performance and aesthetics are
beyond compare.”
This exclusive sports car resembled a futuristic sculpture. Its low, sleek profile mirrored the poised elegance of a
sprinting cheetah, with a fluid line stretching from nose to tail, radiating a sense of unstoppable speed. The car
was finished in a distinctive metallic paint that seemed to shift and play under the lighting, giving off a cool,
enigmatic shimmer.
Shelton then activated the overhead display lights, which alternated between warm and cool tones, magically

thoroughly distracted by the spectacle, couldn't help but exclaim, “Incredible, it changes colors! How does it do
that?”
