The golden-black beetle flew to Henry Carter's chest and instantly transformed into a golden liquid, spreading over Henry Carter's entire body. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped Henry Carter's whole body, including his hair.

The streamlined golden armor, full of explosive power and a sense of impact, enveloped Henry Carter's entire body. It resembled a piece of Gothic European armor fused with modern aerodynamics, appearing as exquisitely crafted as a work of art.

The entire suit of armor radiated the beauty of strength and speed, making Henry Carter's body look tall and robust, as if every inch of him was brimming with explosive power.

Moreover, the armor gleamed with a metallic luster, as if it were made of gold. Amidst its splendor, it exuded a solid texture. At first glance, it even somewhat resembled the Gold Cloth of a Gold Saint.

The difference from the Gold Cloth was that this beast soul armor covered Henry Carter's head and body completely, leaving only a few overlapping gaps at the joints, similar to the black beetle itself. This was also the only weakness of the black beetle beast soul armor.

Henry Carter moved slightly and not only felt no weight or hindrance, but actually felt a bit lighter, his body filled with vitality.

“As expected of armor formed from a god-blooded beast soul. It's countless times more magnificent than those primitive beast soul armors I often saw in Steel Armor Shelter,” Henry Carter thought ecstatically. In the past, he had been extremely envious whenever he saw someone wearing primitive beast soul armor, never imagining that one day he would obtain a god-blooded beast soul armor himself.

Chapter 4: The Old House

“President of the At Group, William Cooper, has completed his third evolution and advanced to the Fourth God's Sanctuary, becoming the eighty-third human in history to enter the Fourth God's Sanctuary. His lifespan has reached five hundred years, and he has attained the demigod rank...”

“Genius youth of the Reikert Star System, Lang, has advanced to the Second God's Sanctuary with one hundred points of mutant genes. His lifespan has reached three hundred years, and he has attained the rank of Evolver...”

“Senator Ernest Hemingway of the Upper House hunted and killed the demigod-level god-blooded creature Ocean Star yesterday, becoming the first to slay a demigod-level god-blooded creature...”

“According to authoritative experts, humanity will see its first fourth-time evolver in ten years, advancing into the Fifth God's Sanctuary...”

“……”

Henry Carter was teleported out of Steel Armor Shelter, and the virtual screen was broadcasting today's news.

“Evolver, Surpasser, Demigod... With that black crystal, I will definitely reach that step, maybe even go further.” Henry Carter clenched his fist, left the teleportation station in big strides, boarded the maglev train, and headed home.

Just as he reached his doorstep, before even entering the yard, he heard a sharp, caustic woman's voice from inside.

“Susan Russell, are you trying to take over our The Carter Family's old house? Let me tell you, this house was left by our parents. My eldest brother, second brother, and I all have a share. Now that big brother is gone, we The Carter Family people won't bully you, a widow. Whatever share belonged to big brother, it's all yours. But if you want to keep it all to yourself, we absolutely won't agree.”

“That's right, the old house is our parents' inheritance. As their children, we all have a share. Why should your family have it all to yourselves? You've already lived here for over twenty years, which is a huge advantage. It's time to divide the inheritance.” A middle-aged man's voice followed.

“Second brother is right. You've occupied the old house for over twenty years. We won't even count the rent, but the old house is an inheritance and must be divided.” A slightly high-pitched, very effeminate man's voice chimed in.

“We've already had a lawyer estimate it. The old house is worth over three million now. The three families, one million each. Either you give us a million per family and the old house will be yours from now on, or you sell the old house and we split the money. Either way is fine with us. Sister-in-law, you decide...” A young woman's voice spoke up.

“Second sister-in-law is right. Now that big brother is gone, we won't bully you and your orphaned children. We'll go along with whatever you say—if you want to pay, pay; if you want to sell, sell. We don't mind.” The sharp, caustic woman's voice spoke again.

“Second brother, third sister, there's no point in pressuring me. You know our family's situation. Where could we possibly get two million?” a sorrowful woman said.

“Then just sell the house,” the sharp, caustic woman immediately replied.

“If we sell the house, where will we live? Henry Carter just graduated, and Yan'er is about to start school...” the sorrowful woman said.

“Sister-in-law, that's not fair. Is your family the only one struggling? Your Henry Carter and Olivia Carter only went to integrated compulsory education. Our James Carter goes to a private school, and the tuition every year is enough to turn my hair white with worry.”

“Third sister is right. Everyone's having a hard time. Who doesn't need money? Selling the house is perfect. Everyone gets some money, and you'll have enough to support Olivia's schooling,” the effeminate man's voice said.

“In any case, either give us the money or sell the house. Sister-in-law, it's your choice,” the young woman said coldly.
