Ayo's words caused Matilda to panic. She rushed toward them and said, "We can't stop the cooperation. Bellenuite can bear the full cost of relocation and demolition. I request that the demolition of Temple Road begins immediately!"

Matilda was anxious. Lumigen and Bloomington's city hall could wait, but Bellenuite could not.

Bellenutie had already staked its future success on its collaboration with Lumigen. The group would suffer tens of thousands of dollars in losses with each day of delay.

Meanwhile, Zach and Ryan were considering their own prospects. They needed to ensure that Lumigen relented so that they could maintain their advantage.

Lumigen wanted the initiative as well, and Ayo would not give in so easily, so the next step would undoubtedly be a drawn-out battle.

Neither side considered Bellenuite's fate.

The only thing that could be said was that Bellenuite had unintentionally entered into what should have been a battle between two nations.

As a result, both sides disl

    "Ms. Sachs had me contact you because..."When Chad and Meran returned to the Hall of Herbs, Esther was also there. She returned with an old man who was not a stranger but rather one of Chad's many useless masters.When Chad saw that old man, he got a headache. The man was known for being shameless.When Chad became his disciple, he only knew him as Seis Leeds.Chad thought Seis could deceive almost everyone, from nobles to children. He was just utterly shameless.He believed that Seis was the most shameless person he had ever met. There was no exception.When Chad entered with Meran, Seis approached them with a smile and said, "Hey, Chad, I heard you got divorced. Why don't I recommend a woman to you? I've already picked out a girl from Caesars Palace for you. She's very lively and good!"Chad looked at him disapprovingly. What kind of place was Caesar's Palace, and why would anyone want a woman from there?However, before Chad could say anything, Seis noticed Meran and said,

    The news of Temple Road's demolition drew no opposition.That was because the demolition compensation plan met everyone's expectations.However, the lively atmosphere at the Hall of Herbs had subsided.After all, Chad had recently learned of the outcome of the negotiations at the city hall.Lumigen insisted on acquiring all the land on Temple Road, resulting in the failure of the negotiations.That convinced Meran even more that Lumigen was not attempting to take over Temple Road for business reasons. So his proposal that those seven locations not be demolished was non-negotiable.Sure enough, discordant voices arose on Temple Road.First and foremost, several households in Cloth Alley began complaining on the streets. "Why is everyone being relocated except for us? This is extremely unfair. We want to relocate, too."People would always complain when they did not get something others did; it was just human nature!Similarly, Peak Institute protesters descended on Temple Road'

    However, Chad said, "Now we're just waiting for Mr. Hughes to arrive."Indeed, six of the seven businesses on Temple Road that could not be demolished had already gathered there. Chad owned the Hall of Herbs, while Fifi owned Treasure Trove.Doreen owned the House of Stars, while Seis had Cloth Alley. Meran owned Peak Institute, while Grayson owned Mystery Tower.So, Arthur from Patriot Hall was the only one not present!They were the original seven families of Temple Road, not to mention the undisputed main characters of Temple Road, the Channel Temple, which had a 600-year history.Meran's master assigned nine disciples to guard the dragon heads in the Departure of Nine Dragons, and Meran was tasked with protecting the formation's core eye, the Channel Temple!At that moment, Arthur walked happily into the Hall of Herbs. As he walked in, he shouted at Meran and Seis, "Hey, you two! Your descendants are causing trouble outside, claiming they have no part in the demolition and wa

    However, Chad could not be bothered to waste more time on it. He refused and said, "I'm not selling!"Surprisingly, Joe persisted and asked, "Can you help me ask the others? Especially the Peak Institute."Chad looked at Joe as if he were an idiot, unable to understand what he wanted."What's the point of buying Peak Institute? Don't you know the place can't be demolished?"Joe smiled and said, "I know that! So, I came to buy it. I think they'd definitely be willing to sell! As long as the place is mine, I'll figure out a way to get the mayor to agree to demolish it."Joe looked around and whispered to Chad, "I have a way to get the city hall to agree to the demolition. And even if I had to pay double the price for demolishing your houses, I'd still make a profit."Joe stuffed two stacks of cash into Chad's hands. He said, "Consider this yours. Why don't you help me find the other six owners?"Chad looked at the money in his hand and felt confused and amused.He did not know it

    "If you want to buy it, you must also pay for the doors. How much is this place worth, then?"Joe was stunned. Jojo and he had grossly underestimated that place.They had assumed that the owners had no idea how much the antiques in their homes were worth.They planned to hire an antiquities expert to find all the antiques in the properties after purchasing them.Then, once the antiques had been verified, they would auction them.After that, they would burn down all those old properties, claiming it was due to faulty wiring.They could clear the land and allow Lumigen to purchase the entire Temple Road. They could quietly cash in on all those antiques!Of course, their so-called purchase did not involve direct cash payment. Instead, they would make a deposit first. After the deeds were transferred, they planned to gradually cash in and give the money to the original owners, but their plan ultimately failed.Joe felt like crawling into a hole with his embarrassment at the time, b

    Chad ignored Nathan as he quietly helped Marilyn open the car door before walking into the building together.Nathan sneered at the two of them but was actually quite happy inside.He had been extremely lucky over the last two days. Nathan felt like things were improving for him after learning Damon had died.He heard that Damon's revelations had caused his wife and child to flee the country overnight.There was a lot of criticism on the Internet, targeted at modern hospitals.Larger modern hospitals in other cities were also being investigated for various scandals.The entire incident was still brewing online.Nathan had essentially received the 7 million dollars Damon gave him for free. No one was going to reclaim it.So Nathan's goal for that banquet was to use the money to invest in Bellenuite.With Bellenuite's estimated value at the time, Nathan believed that using that money to acquire one percent of Bellenuite's original shares would be sufficient.After all, Bellenui

    "Ms. Myers is certainly special. Those with PhDs are simply different from the rest of us.""I've heard that old shoes are more comfortable than new ones. Don't you think so, Ms. Myers?Marilyn was confused by the statement, so she looked at her feet and said, "I just bought these new shoes. They're quite comfortable!"Everyone laughed aloud when they heard that.Naturally, they were not discussing shoes but comparing Chad to old, worn shoes to mock Marilyn.However, Marilyn was just a research student before that. She was not well-versed in those societal interactions.Bob merely watched from the sidelines, recalling how Chad had blackmailed him on Temple Road.He knew Chad was not as innocent as he appeared.He could not offend Chad or Matilda, so he pretended not to notice anything as he slipped into the banquet hall.However, Jojo realized that Marilyn was naive in those situations and knew nothing.Marilyn was still useful to Jojo.She wanted to use Marilyn to bait Trav

    Everyone looked at each other, unaware that there were three reasons to celebrate.Jojo smiled as she watched everyone's expressions. She said, "The first is that Bellenutie and Lumigen have officially begun our cooperation today. The two parties will collaborate on Temple Road's real estate development as our first project. This project is supported by Bloomington City Hall, and Lumigen and Bellenuite are in charge of operations; the total investment exceeds 700 million dollars!"Everyone applauded. That was definitely a massive project.In terms of investment, it was almost equal to Bellenuite's overall market value.Jojo then revealed the second reason. "The second is that Bellenuite Group has successfully obtained 51 percent of Paladin Private Hospital's shares, becoming the majority shareholder. Furthermore, Bellenuite promises to invest 140 million in Europe's Guild of Eternal Life over the next three years."The applause began again but quickly stopped because everyone was

    As Chad sat in meditation on Decaying Peaks, a faint, glowing white immortal crown slowly appeared behind his head. When that immortal crown manifested, a quake occurred everywhere outside Mount Causabour. The frequency of those tremors was extremely high, and everyone could clearly feel them. The vast area they covered included the entire Hacniane. It was as if some ancient seal in the vast sky had been triggered.Chad opened his eyes in shock amid his breakthrough, realizing that the impending heavenly punishment seemed to be directed at him and the millions of mystical beings beneath Mount Causabour.Suddenly, a thunderous voice erupted in the sky, as loud as a bolt of lightning:"Cut off the road to the heavens, seal the underworld; a red banner halts a million immortals, and a red star exterminates ghosts and demons!"Sever Yggdrasil, raise the grand array; a handful of Evergrow blocks the celestial river, and the vast multiverse bows to humanity!"By decree, this is a real

    Sir Holt anxiously looked up at the sky as the tribulation clouds suddenly began to churn violently.Crack! Crack! Crack!At that moment, the first bolt of heavenly punishment finally struck.However, that bolt of divine lightning fell upon the mirage of the Mystic Archive, where it disappeared without a trace. The entire Mount Causabour shook a few times, and everyone could feel a soothing sensation within the mountain.Anyone who felt this would experience a surge of confidence deep within, and any discomfort they felt in their bodies seemed to improve significantly.On Decaying Peaks, that sensation was even more pronounced, and more and more people began to manifest the immortal crown behind their heads. In just a few minutes, nearly everyone on Decaying Peaks, hundreds of people in total, had an immortal crown appear behind them.That included Flynn and Harvey, who were sitting on the outskirts of Decaying Peaks. They, too, had immortal crowns appear behind their heads.How

    Sir Holt and Zayan looked up at the sky with expressionless faces, though their hearts were in turmoil. Within the rolling clouds, faint traces of multicolored light shimmered.As time passed, the colorful lights appeared more frequently, as if gradually consuming the clouds."Such intense ascension light—there must be tens of thousands ascending!""There are probably more. The latest statistics show that 264,777 people have entered Mount Causabour!""Over 260,000? How did so many people get here?"Zayan looked at Sir Holt in shock, and Sir Holt turned his gaze toward the winding mountain road leading into the area."There are still many more people outside trying to get in, but the place is already so crowded that they can't fit."Zayan looked with concern toward the entrance to the mountain. "Won't those stuck on the road cause a disturbance?""They won't!" Sir Holt said with certainty. "Unless they're fools, they've probably already started meditating where they are. Even if

    Among the 250,000 people, quite a few were not actually autistic patients. After sleeping for two full days, Chad woke up and realized that possibility. He carefully considered the potential issues that might arise during the process and decided to issue an announcement."The treatment will begin shortly. Non-autistic patients are advised to leave the Mount Causabour area to avoid unnecessary complications."That announcement was broadcast three times through loudspeakers positioned throughout Mount Causabour. Finally, the loudspeaker voice declared, "The treatment will officially begin in one hour!"At the same time, Chad made his way to the Decaying Peaks, the summit of Mount Causabour, where an over-century-old pavilion stood.Entering the pavilion, Chad sat down in a meditative position. Soon, he noticed a dense crowd gathering around the pavilion, all sitting in meditation poses around him.As Chad glanced over those people, he recognized several familiar faces. The people ar

    Mount Causabour Medical Center, built halfway up Mount Causabour, was a sizable palace-style complex with three courtyards. The center was constructed along the mountain's slope, extending all the way to the base of the Decaying Peaks. Flynn and Harvey were placed in the innermost courtyard, suggesting that their grandfather, Fenton Cooper, likely knew some inside information but had not shared it with his grandsons.On that day, the Hacniane Cabinet issued several announcements. First, they created separate legislation for ability users and cultivators to regulate their powers. Second, they planned to designate special zones in each city for ability users and Mystics, separating them from ordinary people. Lastly, they urgently introduced the Sixteen Temporary Rules for Ability Users and Mystic Practitioners to regulate their behavior.Those announcements seemed like they were aimed at restricting ability users, but in reality, they were meant to reassure ordinary people, ensurin

    A massive leap in the realm could bring unimaginable fortune to the dragon vein, potentially altering Hacniane's fate.That was also Chad's grand gift to the two elders, using the sudden surge in the dragon vein's power to help Hacniane avoid the impending catastrophe triggered by the nuclear explosion of the firmament.Earlier that day, through Chad's Clairvoyant Eye, he saw Kennington shrouded in a faint gray-black mist. Chad did not know what it was but felt it resembled Evergrow, yet not quite the same.However, Chad was certain that accidents would surely happen if ordinary people were exposed to it in large quantities. As a Mystic, he could already feel its effects on his body.At that moment, Sir Holt got into the car, looking at Chad with a solemn expression. "Kid, give me the bottom line!"After careful consideration, Chad laid out his thoughts. Upon hearing them, Sir Holt began to tremble. According to Chad, he would need to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to ensure the

    Having a Mystic Archive and unlocking a Mystic Archive were two different matters. Only a handful of people were recorded to have a Mystic Archive throughout history. There were only two earliest verifiable individuals with documented works still in existence.The first was Hugo Gerant, a renowned physician from an ancient empire, a practitioner of Mystic Therapeutics, and an alchemist. His surviving medical works include The Hundred Letters, Gerant's Emergency Treatments, and the famous Embracing Simplicity.After his death, several notable physicians throughout history have inadvertently inherited his Mystic Archive, but none have fully inherited it. It was said that Mystics knew the method to obtain Gerant's Mystic Archive a thousand years ago, but that knowledge had since been lost.The second individual is Damian Lotin, a figure from another ancient dynasty. He left behind many works, including one titled The Whisper of the Blue Plant.Aside from them, other people who possess

    Chad gave them a cold smile. "Extract the immortal bone to cure the illness.""No! Absolutely not! I won't allow it!""Me neither. There's no way we can let that happen!"The entire room erupted into panic. Some even tried to attack Chad, but they were quickly subdued.Chad looked at them and said, "Then tell me the truth.""I'll speak! I failed my tribulation and fell from the celestial realm. I used to have nine crowns, but now I'm down to five...""And me! I also fell from the celestial realm after failing my tribulation. Now I only have three crowns...""I disguised myself as one of the wounded soldiers and was brought here. After losing all my cultivation, I've since regained two crowns!""I was brought back from the firmament by my husband. After we arrived here, I lost all my cultivation and never practiced again. We had a child later, and he was perfectly normal, but I never expected my grandson to..."As those people spoke, Zayan and Sir Holt were stunned! Those peopl

    "You know the cause of the illness?"Zayan was shocked, almost in disbelief."Do you realize this child is the same age as you? Even your master examined him but couldn't find the cause!"Chad nodded and said, "But I do know, and I have a bold theory—that the cause of autism in all these children might be the same..."As he spoke, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Chad's mind, shocking even him, leading him to say, "And I suspect this might be related to the increasing number of ability users and cultivators over the past century!""Really?!"Zayan grabbed Chad's arm, hardly believing what he was hearing.However, Chad spoke with firm conviction, "It's very likely true, but I need to see more children with autism.""Wait here; I'll make arrangements right away!"Soon, Chad and his group arrived at the largest hospital in Kennington, the Ninth Military District Hospital, and Xyder was also brought along. Chad saw hundreds of children with autism there!Before entering the
