Two days later, the Hummers' held the official press conference for the launch of Eternumax at the Hillview Hotel.

News about it had spread for several days, and with the Hummers' unceasing effort to promote it, there was a great deal of discussion surrounding it. Such an amazing drug with beautifying properties that could also improve longevity drew the attention of countless people.

So the press conference, which was grandly decorated, bustled with activity. There was a never-ending stream of guests that made their way in.

Right around noon, a silver Bentley pulled up at the entrance of the Hillview Hotel. When the car door opened, Natasha slowly made her way out of the car, her arms around Dustin's.

As always, she was the center of attention wherever she went. It was hard for anyone to take their eyes off her shapely figure and alluring face.

Dustin, who was clad in a three-piece suit, seemed to have gone through a thorough makeover. He looked handsome and suave, and carried himself

    Jessica was frozen on the spot and struggled for words when she saw how humbly Malcolm was seeking guidance from Dustin.She had never once thought that the arrogant and haughty Dr. Malcolm Shane had such a side to him.And most importantly, the person from whom he was modestly seeking advice was the boy toy, Dustin Rhys. It was mind-boggling indeed."I don't think I'm fit to give you any advice, Dr. Shane, but I'd gladly help wherever I can. We can both share our thoughts." Dustin smiled."Sure, we can do that. Now, have a look here…" Malcolm took out the ancient manuscript and immediately dove into it. He started pointing out some of the areas that he had trouble understanding."Oh, this is actually quite simple. Take this for example: Put a hundred different insects into a jar, and let them fight among themselves. After a month, open up the jar, and by then there will only be one remaining insect. The rest of them would have been eaten up by this surviving insect, and this will be t

    Looking at the crowd in the hall, Edwin couldn’t help but smile broadly. As expected, everything was going smoothly. Once the product launch was done by today, Eternumax’s reputation would be spread far and wide! When that time came, his aim wouldn’t be limited to Swinton but to market Eternumax throughout the thirteen cities of the South!"Sir Hummer! Congratulations on your launch!" Quentin and his men came up to Edwin, whose face was beaming. "Oh, it’s Mr. Harmon. Please, have a seat," Edwin said pleasantly. "Sir Hummer, Eternumax is really a precious herb! Everyone has been talking about how great it is. Look at the crowd here after hearing about its effects! It's already become so popular that people are coming in droves!" Quentin flattered. "If the product is good, customers will naturally return. Mr. Harmon, you also stocked up quite a bit, it seems like you're going to make a big profit this time." Edwin smiled."It's all thanks to you, Sir Hummer. We're all working

    "What do you mean? Can't you speak more clearly? I'm about to make it big!" Quentin rolled his eyes.With the popularity of Eternumax, making a fortune was in the bag. These guys really lacked business acumen!"Sis, did you not remind our cousin not to buy Eternumax?" Ruth turned her head and looked at Natasha."I did remind him, but he didn't listen. I couldn't do anything about it." Natasha shrugged."While there's still time, quickly sell all your Eternumax, even if it’s at a low price. It's better than getting nothing back," Ruth advised. "Sell at a low price? Are you talking nonsense? This is an opportunity for me to multiply my net worth by ten times. How could I give up so easily?" Quentin frowned. "Cousin, I don't think you can increase your net worth by that much. You are more likely to go bankrupt. Don’t you know that my sister has developed a new drug called Immortunol?" Ruth shook her head helplessly. "What Immortunol? I've never heard of it," Quentin sneered."I

    At the Hummer family’s press conference, the once bustling hall began to slowly empty out.Initially, everyone was talking about Eternumax, but gradually the conversation switched to another topic. "Hey, have you heard? The Harmon family also held a press conference to launch their product, Immortunol. They partnered up with Mr. Shane, and its effects are incredible! It’s said to be the best supplement ever developed!" "Is it true? Can it compare to Eternumax?""Eternumax is garbage compared to Immortunol! To tell you the truth, my friend's great-aunt just ate one pill of Immortunol, and she jumped out of her wheelchair!""Are you exaggerating?""Don't believe me? Let’s go and see for yourself!"As news of Immortunoll spread, more and more people left to gather at the Harmon family’s press conference. In contrast, the number of people at the Hummer family’s conference dwindled. Gradually, Edwin finally realized that something was wrong."Butler, what's going on? Why did the n

    Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Harmon family’s press conference became increasingly lively. Just when Natasha thought that everything was going smoothly, a scream suddenly rang out from the crowd.Everyone turned to look. An old man had suddenly collapsed to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth. Within moments, he was unconscious."Dad! What's wrong with you? Please get up!" Cried a middle-aged man next to him, panic-stricken."I'm a doctor, let me take a look!" A bald man quickly stepped forward to check the old man's breathing and pulse. With a sigh, he shook his head. "He's already dead.""Dead?" Everyone was shocked by the news."How could this happen? He seemed perfectly fine just a moment ago.""Who knows? He looked energetic; it's so strange that he died suddenly.""Could it be a heart attack?"Whispers and murmurs of suspicion filled the air."It can't be! My dad couldn't have died! We made sure he had regular checkups, and he was always healthy!" The mi

    "Ask the old man?" Quentin first looked stunned, then his face darkened."Punk! Do you think I'm an idiot? The old man is already dead; how could you ask him anything?""He may be dead, but his body is still warm. Coincidentally, I have a way to bring the dead back to life." Dustin smiled faintly."Nonsense! Do you think you're a god? Bring the dead back to life? Why don't you say you know how to fly?" Quentin sneered."Who is this young man? How dare he speak so arrogantly?""Yeah! Even Dr. Shane wouldn’t dare say that he could bring the dead back to life. This kid is really too conceited!" "In my opinion, he just wants to show off in front of Ms. Harmon and impress her."In response to Dustin's words, the people around him were filled with scorn.The old man was already dead, how could he bring a dead person back to life? Wasn’t he spouting nonsense? "Whether it's nonsense or not, we'll find out soon enough." Dustin didn't explain further and walked up to the old man."He

    When the old man suddenly sat up, all the guests were startled. Some of the women screamed frantically, losing their composure."It’s a zombie!"Shocked to the core, the crowd scattered in all directions. No one expected that the motionless corpse would suddenly spring to life.It was such a terrifying moment! "Dad? Y—you're not dead?" The middle-aged man pretended to be shocked."Yes, I'm not dead." The old man gave a forced smile. His voice was slurred as his dentures were knocked out. Combined with his swollen cheeks, the old man was a comical sight. "Oh my god! This young man could even revive the dead! How could this be?" "No words could express my amazement right now!""What a strange way to treat people! Are medical techniques nowadays getting more straightforward?" Staring at the old man, who was obviously alive and kicking, there was pandemonium in the hall. Some of the onlookers were shocked, and some were curious."Hey, I saved your father's life! Is it to

    After a stormy event, the Harmon family’s press conference ended successfully. On the other hand, the influential Hummer family’s press conference ended in dismal failure. The emergence of Immortunol dealt a huge blow to the sales of Eternumax. Compared to another medicine with better efficacy and a cheaper price, Eternumax was regarded as garbage.The Hummer family’s Eternumax couldn't be sold at all. In the end, they were stuck with piles of rotting inventory. The meticulous game planned by Edwin was a complete failure. Although this disaster was unable to weaken the Hummer family’s foundation, it still caused them heavy losses. After the press conference, Dustin was about to say goodbye when he was stopped by Ruth at the door. "Dustin, I need a favor from you." "What is it?" Dustin asked suspiciously. "I'm going to a reunion with some of my classmates later, can you come with me and be my bodyguard?" Ruth was very straightforward. "The Harmon family has so many bodyg

    Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs. From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable. He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods' plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining. According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power. Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher c

    The chaos of the night quickly settled.By morning, as the first light of dawn broke across the horizon, Sacred Wrym Summit had regained its usual tranquility. Yet, the bloodstains across the ground and the wreckage of buildings stood as grim reminders of the previous night's violence.The military forces summoned by Grace had already taken the Hall of Gods' prisoners into custody.Rumors spread like wildfire, fueling gossip throughout the martial world as all the major guilds watched with keen interest. After all, very few in history had ever dared to challenge Sacred Wrym Summit, and a bold invasion aimed at destroying it was nothing short of unprecedented.The outcome was clear to all who bore witness. After many years, the world had come to recognize the true terror of Arion. He was no mere mortal—he was almost a godlike figure.…Inside the Hall of Gods' headquarters in Streuqua, the core members were gathered, seated in two rows on either side of the grand hall.On the thr

    After dealing with the Hall of Gods' elite fighters, Arion disappeared in a blur. When he reappeared, he was hovering above the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit.The scene at the entrance to the forbidden ground was one of utter carnage. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, and rivers of blood flowed freely. All members of the Hall of Gods, including Hank, lay motionless on the ground.Dustin and Willard, both covered in blood and exuding killing intent, had fought fiercely. After a long, grueling fight, they succeeded in defending the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit. They had thwarted the Hall of Gods' plan to destroy the Dracan force.At that instant, Dustin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up. Through the mist and darkness, he pinpointed Arion's figure hovering above. Arion smiled faintly and nodded at Dustin before disappearing again.Crossing several mountains in mere seconds, Arion arrived above the Sacred Wrym Summit's grand hall. Below, the discipl

    When the dust finally settled, Arion was the only one left standing.Bailey, Willem, Anthony, Batuul, the three elite assassins from Eskus, and several gods from the Hall of Gods were either dead or gravely injured.Willem's body had been blasted into countless pieces. Each fragment wriggled on the ground as it struggled to piece together. Batuul fared even worse. He was utterly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, not even ashes. On the contrary, Bailey and the three Eskus assassins had both their arms severed and were gravely wounded. Though Anthony's limbs were still intact, his crushed internal organs left him coughing up blood. The backlash from the demonic blade had also taken a devastating toll on his body. He now appeared decades older, his face gaunt and hollow, his hair gray. His frail frame made him look like a man standing at death's door."H-How is this possible? No… this can't be happening!" Bailey's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared a

    Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o

    As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to

    After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

    "How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap

    Willem's wings, black as night with a metallic sheen, erupted from his back. Fully extended, they stretched over 30 feet. With a gentle flap, a storm of wind and eerie howls swept through the air. The sheer force was intimidating to behold.His appearance had also undergone a drastic transformation. Willem's once-handsome face was now gaunt, his skin wrinkled, and his cheekbones jutted out. Fangs protruded from his mouth, and two sharp horns sprouted from his head. He had grown taller, but his body was unnaturally thin, with his ribs and sternum visible beneath his skin. From a distance, he looked like a towering, monstrous skeleton. It was an unsettling sight that sent a chill down anyone's spine.This was Willem's ultimate form. After the transformation, his speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were greatly enhanced. His thirst for blood grew even more intense, turning him into a bloodthirsty demon.The gods, who had expressed dissatisfaction moments ago, now stood paralyzed
