"Your most cherished aspiration?" Liam's question caught Howser off guard.Howser could not fathom why Liam suddenly brought this up. Yet, those words stirred countless memories."I didn't expect you to remember a casual remark," Howser said, a complex smile flashing across his face. "When we first met, I mentioned that after decades of martial arts training, my greatest aspiration was to cultivate internal energy and become a master of internal martial arts!"He sighed softly, "But after decades without progress, and now with my legs disabled, it seems even more unattainable."Howser's obsession with martial arts was intense. Even in his eighties, he practiced martial arts daily. Achieving the legendary internal energy was a dream he held close."Grandpa..." Ida's face reflected her bitterness. She knew his thoughts well, as did anyone close to Howser. His passion for martial arts was well-known.Initially, Ida thought Liam could deceive Howser with the promise of teaching marti
Silence! A deathly silence! The moment they saw the scene before them, the entire room plunged into an eerie stillness."This, How's this possible?"Ida's mind was in turmoil! What she witnessed exceeded even the fear of death that the dagger brought her earlier!It was not just Ida. Chester and Qassim were also frozen in place! Their eyes widened, filled with disbelief as they stared at Liam. Howser was utterly stunned! He couldn't fathom how someone could achieve all this. The intense shock left Howser momentarily unable to recall what Liam had just done to him!However, Liam did not care about what Howser and the others thought. Seeing that Ida was out of danger, he gently waved his hand.Then-With a crash, the objects that were suspended in mid-air finally fell to the ground, producing a series of clattering sounds!"Liam, what did you do?"Hearing the noise, Howser snapped out of his daze. He turned to look at Liam, his voice trembling as he asked."Just saving a
Using his powerful inner energy, Liam controlled all the scattered objects in the room!After figuring out everything, Howser’s eyes flashed with shock.Recalling the first time he met Liam when Liam was unwilling to demonstrate his martial arts skills in front of him, Howser thought Liam only knew the moves and might have some hidden reasons preventing him from practicing martial arts.A bitter smile crossed Howser's face."Thank you, Grandmaster Burrey," he said.He bowed respectfully to Liam, now addressing him differently.When Howser first met Liam and was taught the Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist Boxing technique, he thought it was Liam’s good fortune. Being appreciated by him meant a bright future!However, after everything that happened, Howser realized that meeting Liam was his great fortune."Grandmaster Burrey, how did you do it?" Qassim, now fully alert, asked excitedly.Although Qassim did not fully grasp what Howser experienced, he was eager to know how Liam heal
However, at that moment, no one paid attention to Chester's words. Witnessing everything that unfolded before her, Ida's eyes trembled, and her mind went blank. Beyond the intense shock, she now realized just how severely she erred.In the next moment, a trace of bitterness crossed Ida's beautiful face. She took a step forward and approached Liam. Facing him, she bowed deeply."Grandmaster Burrey, I am sorry, it was my mistake!" Ida said, her voice trembling as she kept her head down. "It was my recklessness and presumptuousness that misunderstood you, Grandmaster Burrey. I spoke carelessly, but as long as you can forgive me, I will agree to any condition you set!"Although Ida's spoiled personality made her somewhat unruly, she was quick to admit her mistakes and apologize once she realized them."No problem," Liam replied. He turned his head to glance at her and shook his head lightly. He did not care about Ida's earlier actions. Or rather, he did not give any thought to it from
The next moment, Howser turned abruptly toward Liam as he spoke nervously."Grandmaster Burrey, I don’t know what Ida did at the Lloyd family's home, but all of this is our fault! Tell us how we can make amends. Whatever it is, we'll do it immediately!"Liam glanced at Howser. Recalling the change in the Lloyd family's attitude when Ida arrived and accused him of being a fraud, he let out a sneer as he shook his head."There's nothing for you to do.""But..."Howser opened his mouth as if to say more but hesitated when he saw Liam’s firm attitude. He lowered his head and said no more.Liam examined Howser’s legs again and said, "Alright, since your legs are healed, there's nothing more to address. When you train, be mindful of your waist. There's an old injury."Having said that, Liam turned around to leave. After all, he came here only because of Howser’s sudden health issue. Now that the problem was resolved, he had no reason to stay.Howser’s eyes flashed with urgency. He bl
Hearing Liam's words, a flash of anxiety appeared on Chester's face. He waved his hands frantically and exclaimed, "Grandmaster Burrey, it's not like that! Those titles were forced upon me by others. How could I dare call myself an emperor in front of you?"Liam's words had scared Chester.However, Liam remained calm and continued, "Since that's the case, I actually have two things I need you to do."Chester’s expression became serious as he solemnly replied, "Grandmaster Burrey, your command is my duty!"Liam looked at Chester with a steady gaze. "The first task is to make all gangs involved with loan sharks in South City disappear, just like what the Fowler Society has been doing recently."Chester was stunned. "Was it your orders that Nathaniel carried out?"Liam nodded lightly. "Yes, I instructed Nathaniel to handle that matter.""Well…"Chester's eyes widened in surprise. It was not that Liam’s request was overly difficult. While eliminating all loan shark-related gangs in
Liam's demeanor revealed just how important the matter was."Grandmaster Burrey..."At that moment, Qassim's voice suddenly broke the silence.He approached Liam cautiously and asked, "May I invite you to visit the Medical Guild, Grandmaster Burrey? The techniques you've mastered far surpass those of many of our great masters. We hope you can come to our sect and enlighten us with your knowledge."Of course, once you visit, you can freely browse our extensive collection of medical texts. While your skills are extraordinary, our texts might still offer some value to you. If you come, everyone will be deeply grateful for your kindness!"Qassim's nervousness was palpable. He knew that apart from their medical texts, they had little else of value to offer. Given Liam's expertise, those texts might not hold much appeal.Liam frowned and asked, "The Medical Guild?"However, something caught his attention.His eyes sharpened as he pointed to a feather adorning the sachet at Qassim's w
"Alright, since there's nothing else, I'll be heading back."With that, Liam glanced at Howser and Chester before turning to leave.Liam made it clear that he intended to leave. Howser and the others did not try to stop him.As they watched Liam leave, a look of astonishment crossed everyone's faces. They had not expected that Liam would leave so calmly after helping them so much!It was as if he had simply brushed off the matter and walked away. His attitude made them admire Liam even more.Howser put on a conflicted smile. "Who would've thought that at such a young age, Liam would be truly extraordinary?"He still felt incredibly fortunate to have met Liam that day at the top of the Hush Purple Gardens.The memory of the shock Liam brought them was still vivid in Howser's mind. In fact, he could barely feel any joy about reaching the level of inner energy he had longed for.Ida stood beside him, looking up and hesitantly speaking, "Grandpa, are we really not going to do anyth
"Hmph!"However, Lucy ignored Agustine. With a cold snort, she angrily picked up the approval documents for the White Glycoside Cream and marched out of the room.Seeing this, Agustine hurriedly followed her.In his view, Lucy, the person in charge of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, was perfect in every way, except for her somewhat fiery temper.Meanwhile, Liam had no idea what had happened after he left. But even if he had known, he might have assumed Lucy's reaction was due to her frustration over the promotion of White Glycoside Cream.At the moment, he was already at the airport, boarding a flight back to South City.The next day.Following the address agreed upon with Serena, Liam arrived at a coffee shop in South City.He was quite familiar with this place. This was where he and Serena had met for the first time.On the day Liam was released from prison, Serena had wanted to meet him here, but Hailey had done everything possible to stop it — all in this very coff
Even so, she was still shocked by the news about Matthias."Whether or not we visit doesn't matter."However, faced with an opportunity that most people could only dream of, Liam remained unusually calm. He waved his hand and said, "Doing more beneficial work for the advancement of traditional Hestian medicine is far more important than visiting me!"Liam did not care much about Matthias's visit. For him, he had already witnessed far broader horizons!"In any case, Grandmaster Burrey, thank you this time!"Agustine did not dare respond directly to Liam's words. Instead, he kept bowing his head in gratitude, saying repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you.""No need to thank me." Liam turned to Agustine and said, "If you truly feel indebted, then work closely with Lucy to expedite the production of the White Glycoside Cream.""I'll still have use for the medication once it's launched.""Grandmaster Burrey, rest assured!"Hearing this, Agustine lifted his head and responded earnestly,
"Miss Hill…"Hearing Lucy's words, Agustine froze suddenly. He opened his mouth but couldn't figure out how to respond at that moment.Whether it was Lucy's remarks or the questions raised by Matthias, neither was wrong.It was just that they viewed things from different perspectives.The more it was like this, the more unsure Agustine was about how to persuade them.However, at this moment—"That's enough," Liam's voice sounded. He waved his hand and said calmly, "It's fine if we don't promote it for now. As long as the medicine can go to market, there won't be any problems."Liam maintained a rather composed attitude about all of this. After all, the original purpose of the White Glycoside Cream was simply to treat those few patients with severe skin damage at Golden Cross Hospital.For now, as long as they could obtain the medicine and heal their scars, the White Glycoside Cream would have fulfilled its intended purpose."But Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing this, Lucy turned he
Even though the Hill family's current strength was impressive, and the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's influence continued to expand, they still could not quite compare when faced with someone of Matthias's status."That's right!" Agustine nodded, smiling. "Mister Kien has been very supportive of the relevant matters, and has even made some policy changes..."Then, he mentioned Matthias's latest orders regarding traditional Hestian medicine."Mister Kien has made so many new decisions?" Hearing this, Lucy's face showed a hint of surprise. "Does this mean that Mister Kien has started to recognize ancient Hestian medicine?""Mainly because the effects of the White Glycoside Cream are truly astonishing..." Agustine smiled wryly."If that's the case, then it's a good thing." Liam glanced at Agustine and spoke softly.At first, he had thought that reviving ancient Hestian medicine would require a lot of effort. But now, it seemed that with the gradual shift in the official stance
"When you go to communicate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, make sure to explain things thoroughly to Grandmaster Burrey."Matthias was worried that not allowing the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to excessively promote the White Glycoside Cream might leave a bad impression on Liam.He looked at Agustine and said, "It's not that we're not allowing the promotion of White Glycoside Cream, but this moment is just too special.""For the future of traditional Hestian medicine, we hope Grandmaster Burrey can understand."Once the current chaos in the market calms down, the Hestia Drug Administration will be able to step in and help the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation with the promotion, as a form of compensation!"If this situation affects the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, I will apologize to Grandmaster Burrey in person when I go to South City in a few days!"It was clear that Matthias truly valued Liam. When he spoke, he was sincere!Mainly because the effe
The head of the Hestia Drug Administration went to South City just to meet Liam!However...Faced with this astonishing scene, Agustine did not react much.His attention was always focused on something else."Mister Kien..."Agustine pointed to the approval document for the White Glycoside Cream under Matthias's hand. "The document you signed, I've already taken it, haven't I?"At this moment, he was in a rush to take the approval document and quickly return it to Grandmaster Burrey!"You..."Upon seeing this, Matthias froze for a moment.How long has Agustine known Grandmaster Burrey, and yet he was already in this situation!"Hurry and take it!" Matthias waved his hand, showing a hint of impatience. "It's just an approval document for a product launch. Why are you in such a hurry?""Thank you, Mister Kien!"Hearing this, Agustine quickly stepped forward and grabbed the approval for White Glycoside Cream tightly in his hand. "About what you said, that you were going to Sou
"Because whether it's the Bellflower or the White Glycoside Cream, they are both products of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation..."Agustine looked up at Matthias and softly responded."What!"Upon hearing Agustine's words, Matthias's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief!Just now, he was too shocked to ask Agustine who owned the White Glycoside Cream. But Matthias had never imagined that the White Glycoside Cream was also a product of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation!If the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's initial release of Bellflower was a coincidence, then now, bringing out the White Glycoside Cream means that the Foundation might have even more hidden products!No wonder Agustine said that to find effective treatments, one doesn't need to dig through the earth!"So, you came to Juneau this time because the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation entrusted you?" Matthias looked at Agustine."I don't have the qualifications to be entrusted by the Verdant Harvest Char
It was not just Hansen and the others. Agustine, standing at the back, was also stunned.He had never expected what was happening in front of him!At first, Agustine only thought that after Matthias learned about the efficacy of the White Glycoside Cream, he would quickly sign the market approval documents!So, when Matthias notified all the department heads, Agustine still had no idea what was going on! But who would have known?In the next moment, he heard Matthias's new command!Just the effect of the White Glycoside Cream alone had changed all of Matthias's previous views!His series of new commands now meant that the entire Hestian drug supervision department would have to change its attitude toward ancient Hestian medicine!From once looking down on traditional Hestian medicine, they now aimed to actively seek new Hestian herbal medicines!Agustine had not expected that his initial, accidental action would cause such profound effects.At the same time, the people in th
"Mister Kien, please speak!"Hearing Matthias's words, everyone in the room immediately straightened their postures, their expressions turning serious.Hansen, standing at the forefront, felt a twinge of nervousness.The current situation inexplicably gave him the feeling that something major was about to happen!"Regarding the recent policies our Pharmaceutical Supervision Department implemented for the approval of traditional Hestian medicine for market entry, I propose some changes," Matthias began."Any traditional Hestian medicine applying for approval must undergo special consideration and independent verification of its effectiveness."As long as the medicine meets efficacy standards, we will open a green channel for expedited processing, aiming to complete the approval within five days!"However, if any such medicine is found to involve false advertising, the company responsible will be blacklisted completely, and all its products will be barred from submission for testi
