At that moment, Sebastian descended slowly from the second floor, his footsteps measured and his gaze heavy as he glanced at Citrine. Then he shot Kali a look of utter disdain, his voice laced with threat. "If you can't produce the formula, you'll owe me sixteen billion dollars."

Kali's heart plummeted.

She let out a cold scoff, still refusing to come clean. "It's been so long, I can't remember the formula anymore. But my family does. Give me a minute, I'll call home and ask for it."

She leaned over and whispered urgently to Theo, "Please, help me. Call Grandpa and ask-he'll know the formula for the NecroBlitz Tablets. I can't possibly pay back eighteen billion."

Theo gave a reluctant nod. Kali had always been the sensible, clever little sister- he'd never seen her so desperate, so stubborn. But she was his sister, the one he'd grown up with. He couldn't just stand by.
