Ryan was in Bloomington for the issue with Temple Road.He intended to go home but learned that his son was attending a gathering.The gathering took place at his office's designated hotel, the Green Waters.So Ryan had someone fetch Morgan's mother before he went to see his son.His original intention had been to reveal Morgan's identity, which had been kept hidden for years.It was supposed to be a surprise, but he did not expect to see that scene.Morgan was mocked and ridiculed by his classmates, and Lumigen attempted to bribe him.Thankfully, Morgan was able to resist everything, which pleased Ryan.When Ryan walked a certain distance away, he said, "Ms. Ayo, regarding Lumigen's intention to develop Temple Road, I'll find a solution. Please abide by the laws of our country and refrain from such underhanded tactics!"Ryan departed, leaving behind a disgruntled Ayo."Madam, the people from the Neuf Chrys Club are here!"When Ayo heard that, she walked away after giving Ch
"How could you propose without money? You even borrowed money to give to me? Adam, you have me fooled!"Florence rushed at Adam, angry and embarrassed, and the two began fighting.Chad could only smile wryly as he observed the chaotic scene at the class reunion. It was probably best to stop going to those in the future.He turned to leave the banquet hall and ran into Morgan's mother, Stella, at the entrance."Dr. Jennings! I'm so glad to see you. I never had a chance to thank you properly."Stelle grabbed Chad's hand and led him inside the hotel."Morgan's father is back in Bloomington. I must thank you."Stella was in a great mood after her recovery and was eager to express her gratitude to Chad.So she led Chad into the hotel and approached Ryan's room.Stella greeted Ryan warmly as they entered the room. "Ryan, this is the miracle doctor who cured me, Dr. Jennings!"At the same time, they heard Matilda ask, "Chad, why are you here?"Stella and Chad noticed Ryan talking t
If Chad were lucky enough, he might be able to find some herbs to make more elixirs.So, Chad said respectfully, "Chief Magistrate, you don't have to thank me. It's only natural to help my friend's mother. I need to attend to something, so I'll take my leave for now!"Chad walked away without looking back. Stella was about to see him off, but Ryan stopped her."Stella, don't bother. I hadn't expected this young man to be so interesting. He must have a reason for approaching you. Surprisingly, he didn't mention it even after we met. I suppose it must be something big!"Stella frowned, unable to believe what her husband said. "Morgan is Dr. Jennings' classmate. He said that Dr. Jennings had never asked for help from others."However, Ryan smiled coldly. "Is that so? I find that hard to believe!"Chad had just reached the first floor when he noticed a police car parked near the entrance. The tattooed man and his henchmen were led outside.Behind them, Adam and Florence were still s
After that, Claire dashed out of the hotel and into a nearby building.Not long after, more than a dozen people emerged from the building, each driving away in different directions.Archibald received the news quickly and mobilized all Roggan members in Bloomington.Not only that, but members from surrounding cities received the message and began to act.Roggan's large-scale actions shook the underworlds in several cities.Bloomington became lively in less than half an hour.Claire returned to the hotel with a shocked expression, looking at Chad.Chad had previously communicated with her in a secret language known only to Roggan members.Claire subconsciously touched the back of her neck, feeling a sense of self-mockery.In reality, Claire was not a member of Roggan, but her boyfriend was.She had intended to seduce Chad to conspire with her boyfriend to defraud him of his money.She never expected Chad to be a part of Roggan as well.Claire found her boyfriend and mentione
Ryan was furious when he heard that, but he still carefully said, "Gordon, now is not the time to fool around. Are you sure?Gordon insisted. "I saw it clearly. I ripped one of their clothes off and discovered a Saffronesian tattoo on him. They were also speaking the language."Ryan was furious. Before he went downstairs, he had already informed Zach, the mayor.He contacted the garrison's deputy colonel in Bloomington to request a search operation.Gordon looked at Chad and said, "Thanks for saving me. Otherwise, I think I would've died."Chad asked, "You merely fainted."Gordon smiled and said, "I know how bad my injuries were, but I can tell they're much better right now. It must be you; thank you!"Chad smiled as he teased the man. "What's there to thank me for, Fatty!"Gordon was stunned before looking at Chad in surprise. He suddenly smiled weakly and said, "Chad! You are Dr. Jennings' son!""Chad, come here this instant!"Before Chad could respond, Matilda's voice was
Matilda left the hotel in a huff, only to see patrol cars filling the streets.Realizing that something significant had occurred in Bloomington, she learned from the conversations around her that Ryan's son had been kidnapped.She finally understood why Ryan was acting the way he did then.In a panic, Matilda called Ayo and told her that Mr. Chase's son had been kidnapped. "Do you know about it?"Matilda spoke in a hurry, but Ayo seemed to talk casually. "I know. What about it? Do you think my people did it?"Matilda was stunned by those words. After a while, she replied, "No, I just thought it was a good chance. We could try to find his son—"Ayo interrupted Matilda, saying mockingly, "What if we do? Do you think he'll agree to demolish Temple Road out of gratitude? Don't be naive. He would never do that!"Ayo hung up, and Matilda returned to the car in a daze.She was beginning to understand why Chad offered that advice, but Lumigen was a global brand. Would they do that?"T
"King Edward's ghost for sale.""Compass from the Renaissance, 98,000 dollars.""A 200-year-old grape wine. It's an essential ingredient for making spiritual herbs."Chad had just begun talking when he heard shouting from the streets.The old man's compass could be the same one he used the week before.Chad had been shopping at night markets since he was young. There were many fakes for sale, and one needed to have the ability to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit items.The items sold there were used by Mystic practitioners.The 200-year-old wine might simply be an ordinary bottle of wine.Chad learned from his grandfather that the night markets were not the same as a century ago.Over the last century, the earth's precious materials had become scarce, resulting in the emerging phenomenon.Chad could not imagine having genuine items all over the market a century ago.The few spiritual herbs that he previously alchemized into Elixir of Life cost up to 14 million dol
The silence only lasted briefly. The night market returned to bustling with noise.People casually joking could be heard among the hustle and bustle."I was wondering who said that. Looks like it's just a few Saffronesian slaves.""Two years ago, a Saffronesian slave came. He messed with the people of Karamon and got murdered!""That guy overestimated himself. Why would he go against the Karamon?"Kenji's expression darkened as he listened to the discussions.Three years ago, Lumigen Pharmaceutical and Chad wanted to invest in two Western medicine production lines in Shotham.Back then, the coordinator's name was Jouzen. The negotiations alone took a year.Eventually, the project failed, and Jouzen died in Hacniane.Kenji vividly remembered Jouzen plotting the assassination of a Rivervale VIP.However, the VIP who died returned to life.After that, Jouzen went to Shotham, and his plan got interrupted again. Consequently, Jouzen died.They eventually discovered the truth af
