"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

    "All the evidence is against you, as many important documents bear your signature. However, given your unique situation as the founder of Bellenuite, we don't want to treat this as a criminal case. I recommend you admit to all charges and use your remaining 20 percent ownership to avoid imprisonment."Matilda became extremely agitated when she heard the last sentence, exclaiming angrily, "I will not give up my shares. Bellenuite is like my child. A mother can't just hand over her child!"Liam never expected Matilda to be so determined. He looked at Chad, hoping he would say something.At that moment, there was another knock on the door. When the officer opened the door, Janette was standing there."You won't be able to convince her. Let me!"Matilda looked at Janette, surprised, and said, "Ms. Lawson, how did you know about this place?"Dusty and tired, Janette walked into the room and proudly said, "The Lawson Group makes investors. How can we invest such a large sum of money if

    Celine drove while John, whose arms were still in casts, struggled to flip through the property deeds."This is the house Matilda and Chad purchased together five years ago. They were not even married yet, but they bought a house!""Who knew what your sister was thinking back then? If I hadn't discovered the property deed in the villa, we wouldn't have known about it!"Celine got angrier as she thought about it.However, John said enviously, "But Matilda is certainly good at making money. She had only been in college for three years and already had enough money to buy her own house!"Celine sneered, "It doesn't matter how much money she makes; it's all for our family. No one can take any away, not even this house!"As they spoke, they arrived at the residential area across from Bellenuite's headquarters.Meanwhile, inside the house, Matilda was drinking soup and crying.She had no idea that being able to drink a bowl of hot soup early in the morning would be so luxurious.Only

    Matilda never expected her mother to say that, especially since she had recently been bullied out of her company by outsiders.She desperately needed comfort, but her own family mocked her mercilessly.Celine, in particular, was relentless. The moment she started speaking, she began to tear Matilda down."If you had just accepted Nathan's proposal and joined the Long family, none of this would've happened. Now that the Long family has kicked you out of the company, all you have to blame is yourself. What does it all mean for us? If we hadn't sold our shares, someone else would have. Can you blame us for that?"Matilda realized her mother did not understand how the business world worked, and there was no reasoning with her.Matilda abruptly changed the subject and asked, "How did you guys get in here? And how did you get the keys to this place?"Celine proudly waved the deed in her hand, saying, "I found this in the villa. There was an extra key inside. I have to say—you're not en

    Her mother and brother were the final straw that crushed Matilda.Matilda burst into tears, expressing how difficult those years had been for her."I've never asked my family for money since I was in high school. I used the scholarships I received to fund my education. In college, I worked while studying to pay my family's expenses and John's tuition and living costs. Have you ever wondered where my money came from?"Matilda was furious. She pushed Celine and yelled, "I started my own business in my sophomore year. I wanted to borrow money from my family for startup capital, but you gave me nothing and took what little I had because you said John needed a phone!"Then, after I struggled so hard to get a loan from the bank, you came for money again, saying you wanted 12,000! That was the money I needed to start my business. You know, and…"Matilda looked at Chad and smiled bitterly, guilt and regret written all over her face. "In my third year, after I met Chad, you privately asked

    Celine started to panic as well. She glared at John and said, "Call him again!"No matter how often John called, they got the same response.Matilda smiled sadly and raised a finger, saying, "You sold shares worth 140 million for a little over a million. And because of that, the Long family took control of Bellenuite and evicted me. Why are you so dumb?"John refused to believe it and said, "That's impossible. Joe said he would gradually give us the remainder of the money over three months. I must have just written his phone number incorrectly. I know where he lives; I'll look for him now."Celine agreed with her son and said, "Yes, let's look for him right now!"The mother and son quickly left, leaving only Matilda and Chad in the room.Matilda collapsed to the ground, looking like a depressed old lady."Oh, you silly girl!" Chad sighed and lifted Matilda from the ground, placing her on the sofa.She was so light!Matilda was almost 170 centimeters tall, but it felt like she

    Chad felt no sense of vindication from revenge when he considered Matilda's situation.That was because he was aware that their divorce resulted from someone meddling from behind the scenes.At that point, he desired vengeance. He would reclaim what belonged to Matilda and himself. Only then would Chad remarry Matilda.After hanging up the phone, Chad returned to Temple Road.There had been two arson incidents the previous night, and the smell of gasoline and the charred remains of the fire lingered in the air.At the western end of Temple Road, seven or eight incinerated sanitation trucks stood silently by the roadside.Several charred bodies were wrapped in white cloth on the ground nearby.Many of the residents were terrified and had already begun to move.Panic had spread among Temple Road's elderly residents, and moving companies crowded the street.The panic was contagious; they were truly terrified.Chad walked down Temple Road and witnessed the bustling activity.Whe

    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.
