Hogan slapped him with the back of his hand when Maverick approached the yard.It was a loud slap. Maverick lost his balance and nearly fell.The people in the villa were shocked.The residents knew that One Green Hill Manor was the most expensive villa neighborhood. They did not expect its property manager to be so aggressive.After hitting Maverick, he looked at the shared car that drove over.He said, "Get in! Someone wants to meet you!"Maverick had no choice but to do as Hogan said.At the same time, Travis, who was in the villa's living room, was extremely frustrated."I've never seen any property like this," Astro said sarcastically, seemingly addressing Maverick and Travis. "That's a first. This is no different from underground gangs.If I were a property owner here, I would definitely take action to get the property manager out of here!"During all of that, no one noticed when Chad had left.Only Ivy saw Chad leave. She wanted to follow him but was stopped by the prop
Jordan's face turned somber. He was utterly displeased.He realized Maverick had offended Chad.Maverick wet his pants and yelled into the phone, "Uncle Jordan, save me! I don't want to die!"Jordan remained silent, staring only at the phone screen. He breathed out a sigh.Then, Hogan said, "Jordan, it has been such a long time. I wonder if you have had the time to visit Hacniane?"Jordan knew Hogan was giving him a chance to redeem himself.Jordan asked, "Can you tell me what Maverick did to offend Chad?"Chad kept quiet. Hogan took over the phone and giggled."It's no big deal. He told Yael to kidnap Chief's sister, whom he had just found."Back then, Chief's condition for treating your illness was that you use Floodgates' manpower to find his sister."Jordan, do you remember what you said that day?"Jordan was startled. He then remembered what he had said to Chad when he begged him to save him.He said that as long as Floodgates existed, they would look everywhere for Ch
Suddenly, Maverick started moaning."Ahh…"However, after being locked by Chad, Maverick could not even struggle.The pain was not severe. As long as Maverick could struggle, the pain could be alleviated to some extent.The worst part was that he could not move and had to cry helplessly when in pain.Maverick experienced excruciating pain.He could not stop roaring in pain, just like an injured beast would.The green veins on his neck popped, and both of his eyes were bloodshot!Maverick felt as if he was being eaten by an invisible beast, bit by bit.The excruciating pain consumed Maverick. He wished he could simply pass out.However, he refused to lose consciousness. Instead, he was tortured by the agonizing pain.In just two minutes, Maverick broke down and cried out, "Kill me! Kill me! I beg you to kill me."Jordan watched the scene via the video call.He had no idea what Chad did, but his legs trembled as he watched Maverick suffer in pain.Chad sneered as he heard M
Bernard took another look at Marilyn and said, "About 50 years ago, there was an internal conflict within Mystic Pavillion. It was rumored that the Mystic Hexa Techniques passed down for several thousand years had been stolen."The people who stole the Mystic Hexa Techniques were known as Mystic Hexa Pirates. And I'm one of them."That was when all the Mystic practitioners began fighting over the stolen Mystic Hexa Techniques."Bernard sneered as he began to glow and exude a strange fragrance.The wind howled and whirled.Bernard waved his broken arm, and the wind whistled.His severed arm healed instantly, and the muscles formed nearly perfect lines with no signs of injury.The needle Chad used on Bernard popped out and lodged in the wall.Bernard was no longer the skinny, old hag. He became younger."I've learned the Human Flesh Sanctification. The fragrance is the sign of the sanctification of human flesh!"Chad became alert and looked at Bernard wearily.Bernard chuckled
"Back then, the kidnapping of your sister was mainly to force out your grandfather!" Chad said. His entire body trembled when he heard what Bernard had said."My grandfather's still alive? That's impossible. My father said my grandfather passed away the year I was born."Bernard said firmly, "I'll give you my head if your grandfather's dead. Only your stupid father believes that!"Chad's expression changed. He could not believe his grandfather was still alive.Bernard smiled as he removed a thin, thread-bound book from Yael's corpse and tossed it to Chad."Here! This is a diagram that visualizes methods for immortality. This one's for you, too."Chad reached out and caught two books; the covers read Art of Immortality and Human Flesh Sanctification.Bernard tied his clothes before kicking Yael again. He said, "Yael is such an idiot. He was pursued for over a decade, all for the sake of a girl. With each resurrection, he lost some of his memories. Who knows how often he died? Lat
Hogan spoke softly, his expression full of curiosity. He did not seem to find the fact that Maverick was alive again particularly frightening.However, Chad asked grimly, "Did you poison Maverick?""Phantom Medics specialize in poison, and I've poisoned him three times. Yet, he came back to life every single time. I thought my poisons had lost their effectiveness," Hogan said with a bewildered expression, not able to understand it at all.Chad and Bernard had the same thoughts—the Mystics' immortality technique!They never expected Yael to teach Maverick immortality.Chad quickly asked, "Where is he?""In the basement!" Hogan said, hurrying to Villa No. 3's basement.The basement was small, and Maverick was bound. He shouted as he lay on the ground.According to Bernard, those who knew they were immortal would become stronger with each resurrection.Maverick had died three or four times in quick succession, so would he be physically stronger?Maverick's mouth made a grinding
"Let's talk upstairs!"Bernard returned to the living room wearing a sour expression.Once Chad and Hogan came up, he said, "Maverick may have been possessed!"Hogan said, "Possessed? How is that possible?"Chad might be surprised, but he said calmly, "Who possessed him?"Bernard glanced at Yael's corpse and said, "Him!"Chad was surprised, but it was still within his range of expectations.Possession was not uncommon anyway. It mostly affected patients who had had organ transplants.Possession symptoms frequently manifested as changes in the personalities and temperaments of transplant recipients.However, those were only passive possessions, not complete ones. The foreign consciousness would not be able to take control.Chad noticed several scars on Yael's abdomen.Those scars were unique to those who had donated their livers.The liver was the only human organ capable of regeneration.As long as one-third or more of the liver remained, it would regenerate into a whole l
Marilyn woke up just as Chad went to the basement.She had heard the conversation earlier and experienced a strange sensation. It was as if she was floating above the room, surveying the entire living space.Marilyn, who studied medicine, recognized that it was a near-death experience.She was unsure whether what she saw was real.Marilyn got off the stretcher and looked around the living room.Some photographs were on display in the quaint, traditional living room.Those photos showed a little boy and a little girl playing together.The boy was tall, and the girl had large eyes. They held hands and smiled sweetly.In the basement, Chad snapped Maverick's neck again. That was the quickest way to kill somebody.However, Chad did not let go of his grip. Instead, he felt the bones in Maverick's neck repaired themselves—resurrected—with care.Just as Chad thought Maverick was about to resurrect, he snapped his neck again.Maverick's resurrection had been faster; his entire neck
