"I told you long ago. The Medical Guild is not a place where you can do whatever you want!"Scott's smug demeanor was irritating to see. However, Raaina ignored the blustering Scott and sincerely addressed Liam."Grandmaster Burrey, please leave. I'm truly sorry for this situation. We initially invited you to the Medical Guild to exchange medical knowledge, but who would've thought things would turn out like this?"We admit your medical skills are superior to everyone in our guild. We also know that no one here is your match, but Grandmaster Burrey, we still ask you to show some mercy."In the end, it was Raaina, a gentle woman, who stood up for the Medical Guild.Liam frowned at the scene in front of him. "It sounds like you think I'm here to destroy the Medical Guild."Scott shouted from the back, "Why are you standing there and not moving? Weren't you just saying you wanted to find me…"However, before he could finish, Scott saw Liam raise his head and look at him with a co
Liam turned his head to Raaina and asked, "Even though you've always mentioned that Scott is the head of the Medical Guild, if I recall correctly, Scott isn't actually the true leader, but rather the acting head, right?""Indeed, I am the acting head. However, until the true leader of the Medical Guild is found, I remain its rightful head!"Before Raaina could respond, Scott's mocking voice rang out.His face was filled with disdain as he looked at Liam. "What's this? Are you trying to scheme against me with such a tactic? You're thinking too much!"Scott was clearly pleased with himself."The Medical Guild has gone without a true leader for over a hundred years now," Raaina confirmed Scott's words."What on earth is going on with your guild?" Liam shook his head in disbelief."Whoever possesses the guild's relic is the rightful leader of the Medical Guild," Raaina explained as she watched Liam walk away. "But the guild's relic was lost long ago.""The guild's relic?" Liam rais
"What…"At that very moment, the entire Medical Guild fell into a dead silence. All the members, including Scott, stood rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning. They stared in disbelief at the 108 golden needles floating in the air.In truth, even though the members, including Otto, had seen these golden needles before, they had not realized their significance. During that time, when Liam used them to save the little girl, everyone's focus was solely on his needle technique. The details of the Harvest Union Golden Needles were too intricate to notice without careful observation.As a result, no one in the Medical Guild realized the uniqueness of the needles Liam used. In fact, Liam himself was unaware of the origin of the Harvest Union Golden Needles.If it had not been for Raaina's final words, the members might have once again missed the chance to recognize the token of their leader."Old Man Dante, just how many secrets are you hiding…"Liam's thoughts drifted as he glanc
Scott did not believe any of this for a second. No matter how hard Scott tried, he simply could not get his hands on Harvest Union Golden Needles. It was as if all his efforts, much like what he was trying to change now, were in vain. Even Liam was momentarily stunned by the scene before him."If I'm the Guild Master, does that mean I can deal with Scott however I want, without any consequences?"However, it did not take him long to recover. Narrowing his eyes, Liam studied Scott, who was shouting incessantly in front of him, and then asked, "So, the Guild Master can act as they please?"Without even lifting her head, Raaina's gentle voice answered, "Of course, the Guild Master has the freedom to do so.""In that case..." A smile crept onto Liam's face as he took a step forward, heading toward Scott.Hearing Liam's voice, Scott, who had been shouting at the top of his lungs, suddenly snapped out of it."What are you doing? I'm telling you that the Harvest Union Golden Needles you
Liam stood still, feeling a cold gaze from behind. Unbeknownst to him, Dragon One had regained consciousness. His trembling hand held a gleaming pistol, its barrel pointed directly at Liam.Despite being a member of the Zodiac Twelve, Dragon One had long strayed from his original path during his collaboration with Scott. He never acknowledged Liam's authority, and after what Liam had just done, their hatred had only deepened."Who cares about some useless Guild Master!" Dragon One's eyes glinted with malice. "All of you, die!"He squeezed the trigger. The gunshot rang out, the bullet tearing through the air, spiraling towards Liam."No!" Raaina's body shuddered at the sound of the gunshot."Guild Master!" Otto's pupils contracted in shock.Their hearts filled with regret.Why had they not noticed Dragon One waking up sooner? Why did they not see him draw his gun earlier? However, it was too late now. The bullet had already been fired."Guild Master..." Raaina's face twisted in
"Understood!" Raaina and the other members of the Medical Guild hurriedly stood up after hearing Liam's command."Guild Master, when the position of the leader is handed over, there's usually a ceremony involved," Raaina remarked as she glanced around, her voice tinged with hesitation. "But given the current chaotic situation, conducting the ceremony might take some time.""Why bother with all that complexity..." Liam waved his hand dismissively."Since you don't require any elaborate process, we can skip it. After all, the leader's token is the ultimate symbol of authority," Raaina nodded in agreement, swiftly continuing, "Now, let me report on the current state of the Medical Guild.""A report?" Liam frowned upon hearing this.He had originally come to the Medical Guild to exchange medical techniques and, along the way, investigate the poisoning incident involving Scott. Becoming the leader of the Medical Guild had never crossed his mind. Therefore, Raaina's words caught him off
Liam's voice hung in the air, his words cutting through the tension.Raaina hesitated for a moment, her expression conflicted before she finally spoke up, "At that time, Scott didn't make such a decision. Besides, some of the medical manuscripts in the Medical Guild had significant issues. We were worried that acting rashly might lead to unintended consequences...""Enough!" Liam interrupted her sharply, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Scott was worried about those flawed manuscripts, so he allowed those in power to seek treatment elsewhere? Utter nonsense! It's a good thing he's dead now!""The ancient art of Hestian medicine has been held back by people like him," Liam muttered, shaking his head in frustration.Then, decisively, he continued, "First, listen to my orders. All healers of the Medical Guild are to descend from the mountains and start treating people immediately!""But... the guild rules state that the Medical Guild must remain hidden from the public eye..." Ra
Liam's promise to organize the ancient medical texts brought a spark of delight to Raaina. Yet, what truly caught her attention was his next statement."My staying here serves no purpose."Upon hearing this, Liam lifted his gaze toward the Medical Guild valley in the distance and nodded. "Without me around, you might be able to work more freely."But, if anything comes up, feel free to reach out to me anytime."He looked directly at Raaina. From the beginning, Liam never had any intention of becoming the leader of the Medical Guild. Even now, the thought of taking on that role seemed like nothing but a troublesome burden.The only reason he gave Raaina those orders was because he could not bear to see the current state of traditional medicine in Hestia. If things continued down this path, not only would ancient Hestian medicine gradually vanish, but it might also become a target for fraudsters, turning it into something despised by the public.For that reason, Liam felt it was ti
At that time, Yaksha casually mentioned that Liam was accompanied by a woman protecting him.When the Monochrome Duo Wraiths heard this, they found it utterly ridiculous.They did not know what kind of man needs a woman to protect him?When Arkem sent the Monochrome Duo Wraiths, he probably had similar thoughts—Liam would be dealt with swiftly!After all, compared to ordinary people, an advanced martial arts Master is already superhuman!But even in their wildest dreams, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths never expected the female bodyguard they underestimated and looked down upon turned out to be a martial arts Ascendant!Yes.A martial arts Ascendant!Only a martial arts Ascendant could effortlessly cleave the front of a massive truck in half with a single slash!When that scene unfolded before their eyes, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths froze on the spot!How many martial arts Ascendants are there in the entire Hestia?Since stepping into the martial arts world, the Monochrome Duo Wr
It was not just the man in white who froze.The man in black also stood there in shock, staring at Liam with an expression full of disbelief!Earlier, after receiving hints from Yaksha that Liam might be extraordinarily skilled, they made some preparations.To avoid a direct confrontation that could cause unnecessary trouble, they decided to use a truck to kill Liam!With the Nosh family's influence in Juneau, killing someone with a truck wouldn ot cause any negative repercussions at all. And a ten-ton truck hitting at full force could completely turn Liam into pulp!But who could have imagined…Despite such a violent collision, Liam was completely unharmed, as if he hadn't been affected in the slightest!Their hearts were filled with astonishment!And at that moment—Buzz—Up ahead, a dazzling flash of light suddenly appeared!A gleam of a blade shot down abruptly from above, slicing through the front of the truck ahead!Boom!!!In an instant, the truck blocking Liam's pa
"My parents said you told them you were taking over South City Bank."Serena sighed.Clearly, she had not taken the statement seriously. Even though she once had her suspicions, she eventually dismissed those thoughts after calming down.After all, the acquisition of United Finance by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had happened so swiftly that news of it had not yet spread widely. Only some rumors had circulated within certain inner circles in South City.Serena knew nothing of this.To her, Liam's claim about taking over South City Bank sounded utterly ridiculous."So, since your mother already told you my purpose for going to South City Bank, why are you asking me where I got the information from?" Liam raised his head and looked at Serena."You…"Hearing this, Serena froze, her stunning face full of confusion. She couldn't make sense of what Liam was saying."Ah…"Seeing her reaction, Liam sighed lightly. He was about to take out his phone to make a call."I'll let
She looked at Liam, her gaze filled with sincerity.The moment Liam heard what Serena said, he froze.His eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at her.This was the first time Liam had heard Serena apologize!"If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what would've happened to the Serena Group..."Serena lowered her head, her cold yet stunning face showing a trace of complexity.Seeing this, Liam was taken aback once again.Compared to the Serena of the past, she had changed so much!It was clear that after going through a series of events, Serena had grown a lot. Her attitude had softened significantly."You don't need to thank me for those matters." But quickly, Liam regained his composure and waved it off lightly. "After all, those poisoned patients were innocent. I couldn't bear to see them suffer like that."However, there's a slight error in what you just said."He raised his head to look at Serena."It wasn't the master of the Medicine Guild who treate
"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
