"Archie, that's enough. Come back!"Chad thought Archibald's locking technique would be ineffective against the internal martial artist.After all, internal martial artists would use breathing techniques to open up their circulation and trigger points easily. It would be pointless for Archibald to continue fighting Ruby.Archibald then stepped back. Suddenly, a white-haired old man appeared on top of Travis' car, striking Archibald in the back with his palm.Chad noticed the old man in time and stepped behind Archibald to protect him. He staggered backward after striking the old man with his palm.That old man was another internal martial artist. Chad had seen him at an auction previously.He could also tell the old man was a Master of Ideology Combat, just like Sebastian.After exchanging a palm strike with Chad, the old man recoiled and smashed into the front of Travis' car."Uncle Bernard!"Travis panicked and attempted to exit the car, but Bernard stopped him."Mr. Norman
Harry never imagined he would lose one of his arms for simply tagging along.Ruby whispered to him, "You have to give in. Or none of us can leave this place alive."Ruby let go of Harry's broken arm. She gritted her teeth and swung her left arm at the roadside electric pole.Crack!Though it was not loud, the way Ruby used all her strength to endure the pain without making a sound demonstrated how intense the pain was.Then, Ruby finally said, "Alright, Archibald! We can call it even now!"Archibald sneered. "Who said so? What about my 750,000 dollars?"Despite the pain, Harry shouted, "What 750,000—"Harry immediately figured it out.Ruby replied, "Someone will transfer the money into your bank account!"Harry reluctantly instructed someone to deposit the 750,000 dollars into Archibald's bank account.Archibald instructed the Roggan followers to make way after ensuring the money had been deposited into his account.Ruby bowed to Archibald. "Until next time!"Archibald sco
Bob shuddered and glanced at the people on the ground.Archibald brought those people to the ground, and they could not stop wailing in pain.Bob had no idea what Archibald had done to those people, but he could tell they were in immense pain.Despite his size, he was not sure how long he could withstand the pain."I'll pay! I'll pay 420,000 dollars. I'll pay the amount now!"Chad said, "Ah, hold on. This is the payment for her resignation. Look at her face. You should pay more for medical expenses!"Bob was on the verge of exploding in rage, especially when he noticed the fingerprints on Coco's face. He glared at Baldie, who was in the car.'What the hell was he thinking? Coco is an influencer. How could he hit her face?' he thought as he cursed at Baldie silently."I'll add 70,000 dollars for medical expenses—"Chad grabbed Bob's outstretched palm and said, "Well, 70,000 dollars is too much. It was only a slap."Bob sighed out of relief and chuckled. "Sure. Then—"Chad con
Bob grabbed Joe's arm aggressively and asked, "Those are the big shots. Do you dare to go back?""Go back?" Joe hesitated. After all, that would be his first chance to meet the VIPs.While Joe was having second thoughts, Jojo called."Jojo!""Hi, darling. Just a reminder—don't go to Templer Road unless absolutely necessary!"Joe finally understood what Jojo was saying.He asked, "Are you with Matilda?"Jojo did not respond to Joe's question and reminded him again."Stop asking. Remember—don't go to Templer Road!"Jojo was not with Matilda. Instead, it was Marilyn who accompanied her.After all, Marilyn had advanced to the position of vice president of the Bellenuite Group, whereas Jojo was only Matilda's secretary.Jojo felt a sense of crisis. Despite being only a secretary, she was an important Bellenuite Group management team member.She had always participated in major events at the Bellenuite Group.However, once Marilyn joined the company, Jojo was no longer involved.
"Archie, tell your people to get rid of these folks!"Chad turned to the others and said, "Let's chat in my shop!"A few minutes later, the most influential figures in Bloomington sat in the Hall of Herbs' living room in the backyard, which had lost its doors.They focused on Chad, who was brewing tea.Clinton got impatient and asked Chad, "How can you brew tea at a time like this—"Chad interrupted Clinton, saying, "We can't change the location and the formations that come with it—those are already fixed. However, methods and people can always be flexible to changes."Chad placed a cup of tea in front of each of them before facing the silent Temple Road. Then, he said, "The Departure of Nine Dragons was a formation established by a great figure hundreds of years ago. Nine coastal cities in the southeast were chosen as the dragons' heads, with Bloomington being the first of the nine. So, Temple Road was built on all the nine heads, including Bloomington. A part of the original lo
Clinton glanced toward the shop and then at Toby.Toby immediately understood and asked, "Zach, have you ever heard about Mystic Pavillion?"Zach was surprised and said, "Dr. Jennings is so young, yet he managed to join Mystic Pavillion?""Joining Mystic Pavillion?"Toby gave him a look and corrected him. "He's Mystic Pavilion's chief, the one they're calling the Great Doctor overseas."Zach was stunned as he stared at Chad's back in the shop.Mystic Pavillion was established by the capital's top officials but disbanded three years ago for various reasons.He heard that it continued to exist secretly despite being officially disbanded.However, Zach could not believe it. How could Chad, who could not be more than 25, have founded Mystic Pavilion?However, his father-in-law's serious and confident expression compelled him to believe it.Furthermore, both Clinton and Frederick maintained solemn expressions.Zach finally realized why they chose to talk there.However, he could
"I can't leave yet."Matilda knew Zach, Frederick, and other prominent figures were on their way to Temple Road before Justin called her.Matilda simply saved Justin along the way. She was more concerned about whether she could meet Zach and the others.It appeared that they were all together in the Hall of Herbs.With so many police cars present, it seemed like Chad's scam of a magical doctor had been exposed. Those prominent figures must have been there to apprehend Chad with the police.Matilda was unable to express her emotions at the time.Even though she wanted Chad to get what he deserved, she also did not want him to give up on himself.Chad was on the phone in the shop that had lost its door.Justin did not want to be there for another moment. He desperately wanted to leave that place. He said, "Matilda, can you let me leave? I'm done if Grandpa Frederick sees me here."He had driven someone else's car there. When he saw Frederick, he quickly hid himself to avoid bein
Matilda was shocked to see Arthur and stuttered, "You are Arthur Hughes...the Miracle Doctor...""There's no need to say it out loud. You already know my identity. That's just a title assigned to me by the outside world!"Arthur interrupted Matilda and redirected the conversation to her divorce from Chad."I heard from Chad that you divorced him because you thought he was just sitting at home all day and not making money?"Matilda nodded before shaking her head, saying earnestly, "Mr. Hughes, this is a private matter between Chad and myself. Please don't talk about it."Arthur shook his head and smiled wryly. "You simply don't know Chad well enough. He has been a good kid since he was little. He began studying medicine with his father at the age of three and traveled with him to see various famous masters after the age of seven. As a teenager, he was already treating patients privately."Matilda frowned and interrupted Arthur, asking, "Mr. Hughes, why are you defending Chad? I wa
