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

    When he mentioned Matilda, Calvin's face flushed with regret, and his voice became stern. "We've received word that Ms. Sachs, the company's founder, has been accused of embezzling company assets, concealing taxable income, and posing significant risks to the company. The board has decided to remove Ms. Sachs from her positions as Chairman of the Board, President of the Group, and legal representative. And we will hand her over to the relevant authorities!"As he said that, Liam led the police past Chad and Stanley.The police handcuffed Matilda while Liam solemnly read the arrest warrant."Ms. Matilda Sachs, you're being arrested for violating company operating regulations, misappropriating company funds, and concealing taxable income. You're under arrest! Take her away!"Matilda's body appeared to lose all of its strength at that moment.She had no idea what was happening. She had always followed the rules and had never done anything like that.At the time, Matilda was still pl

    At the time, Joe was hanging out with a group of tough-looking men in Bloomington's largest slum.After receiving a message from Jojo, Joe turned to the fierce-looking fatty beside him and said, "It's time!"Darkin, the fatty, was the most notorious thug in Bloomington's underground world.He frequently worked as an enforcer for wealthy individuals. As long as there was enough money, he would do anything.Darkin looked at his henchmen and repeated Joe's request. "Are you sure you want us to burn down the whole Temple Road?"Joe smiled and said, "Of course. The cleaner, the better. If you could kill a few people with the fire, that would be even better. Make sure it causes a scene!"Darkin smiled and pointed to the western side of Temple Road, saying, "This is the highest point on Temple Road, and there is an entrance to the sewer. My plan is..."After listening to Darkin, Joe snapped his fingers at the bodyguard behind him.The bodyguard brought over a briefcase, which Joe took

    "We have a problem that needs to be solved now. Matilda still has 20 percent of Bellenuite's shares. How do we get them?"Calvin did not want to be too hard on Matilda, so he said, "That's simple. We accelerate Bellenuite's listing and issue additional shares to dilute Matilda's position. Even if Matilda doesn't go to jail, she will not be able to sell her shares. She will only be able to watch as we dilute her holdings."However, Jojo disagreed with that approach and said, "I want to ensure Matilda goes to prison. I never want her to see the light of day again!"Calvin said nonchalantly, "You can do whatever you want. Matilda is already out of the picture anyway."He gestured to Stanley and stood up to leave.Jojo said, "Oh, by the way, about the demolition of Temple Road—"Calvin stopped and did not even turn his head as he said, "Do as you wish. Firemind Capital and Lumigen want the whole of Temple Road."Jojo watched them leave. Then, she immediately called the Sachs family.

    "How does this relate to your ex-husband? I heard he never gets involved in company affairs," Liam said, flipping through the documents in his hands.However, Matilda was adamant. "It has to be him. Otherwise, why would he agree to divorce without receiving a single penny?"If Liam had not known about Chad's background, he might have believed her.However, Liam knew that Chad would not resort to such behavior.So, Liam said, "I advise you to tell the truth and not attempt to frame someone innocent. I will give you a couple of hours to think it over. I hope you will tell the truth the next time I see you."However, Matilda struggled and yelled hoarsely. Her eyes were bloodshot as she repeated the same sentence. "I'm telling the truth. This is all because of Chad. He must have done it!"Sonya witnessed all of that and felt sorry for Chad.She could not understand why Chad told her to get Matilda out.After leaving the interrogation room, Liam noticed Sonya and asked, surprised, "

    When Sonya saw Chad, she said, "You did what you could. However, she still thinks you're framing her—"Before she could finish her sentence, Matilda angrily interrupted her. "Is that not true? He has been opposing me the entire time. Just as Bellenuite and Lumigen's collaboration was about to take off, he had me imprisoned and my reputation ruined!"Marilyn went to Matilda to help her up. She defended Chad, saying, "Matilda, Chad is not the person you believe him to be. He was not the one who framed you!"Chad unexpectedly said, "She will know the truth eventually. Nonetheless, thank you for the assistance, Ms. Walt."Just then, alarms rang in the police station, and an officer rushed in, panicked, shouting, "This is bad. There's a fire on Temple Road, and it's spreading rapidly. Be prepared to mobilize."The next moment, the entire station was crowded with police cars rushing out of the compound. Liam, wearing a grim expression, prepared to leave. When he passed by Chad, he said,

    Jojo turned around in Joe's arms, facing away from the large windows, and kissed Joe deeply."It's all thanks to you. How would you like me to reward you today?" Jojo unbuttoned Joe's shirt and slipped her hand inside. Joe's breathing quickened as he held Jojo and said, "No, we should be rewarding each other…"Just then, the phone on the table rang. However, both of them ignored the call.Matilda hung up the phone, believing Jojo had betrayed her.At that moment, someone opened the door. Matilda turned around in alarm, only to see a familiar figure."I knew you would be here," Chad said, standing at the door with a lunch box.He had a cigarette in his mouth, which flickered in the dimly lit room."What are you doing here?" Matilda asked disdainfully.Chad placed the lunch box on the table and said, "These are some of your favorites!"When she heard that, she began to cry uncontrollably.She used to despise it when Chad brought her food, but at that moment, she felt an indescr

    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.
