Jojo said nothing else, but Matilda already understood the situation.Bellenuite's shares were too dispersed. The Long family would gain control of the company if they could acquire more than 33 percent of the shares.Firemind Capital did not need to buy all of the shares outright. They simply needed to merge with the investment firms that owned Bellenuite's shares.However, without the 15 percent, the Long family would not have been able to accumulate as many shares.Matilda's divorce from Chad, as well as her parents' and brother's sale of the shares, enabled the Long family to gain control of Bellenuite.It eventually led to Matilda being forced out of the company!Jojo was overjoyed as she looked at Matilda, who was stunned and standing still.She even boasted, saying, "You still have 20 percent in your hands. I won't mistreat you. Sell it to me for 70 million."Matilda looked at Jojo angrily and said, "When Bellenuite goes public, these shares will be worth at least four t
"Matilda, marry me! Then you'll be a member of the Long family, and you can reclaim Bellenuite!"Nathan stopped Matilda and pleaded desperately.He had a feeling Matilda would agree to marry him right then and there in order to reclaim Bellenuite.If she married Nathan, the Long family would begin to value Nathan again because Matilda founded Bellenuite.That way, Nathan would rejoin the family's inner circle, and Matilda would be able to reclaim control of Bellenuite.However, Matilda declined Nathan's proposal. "I will not marry you. I want to reclaim my Bellenuite Group with dignity!"Matilda, who had built Bellenuite from the ground up, was uninterested in Nathan, who acted arrogantly due to his family's influence.Chad watched them from a distance. At that moment, a Roggan disciple approached him and pulled out a phone."Chief, we secretly followed Ms. Sachs and captured this!"Matilda might not have taken any videos or recordings, but the Roggan disciples who were secret
"Yes!"Chad did not explain and simply answered affirmatively.Matilda did not press the issue either; it was a tacit understanding they had developed over time.Matilda changed the subject. She said, "I want to start a new business. I'll no longer do cosmetics. Instead, I intend to pursue a career in beauty."She took out a card. "I've been busy studying and managed to obtain a special qualification as a top-level beautician. I can't believe it will be useful now."Chad did not say anything. Instead, he meticulously cleaned the room until it was two. Then, he was prepared to leave.Matilda could no longer hold back. She threw herself into Chad's arms and asked, "Can't you stay?"Chad wanted to stay, but he could not because it was too dangerous.After the Mystic Pavilion reopened, their long-dormant enemies would undoubtedly seek out Chad."Rest well. Best wishes for your new venture."In reality, Chad wanted to say that he would return to her once he had eliminated all dang
"Celine!"Logan was shocked as he rushed to catch Celine as she fell.Celine's mouth was foaming at the time, so John was stunned.Martin's price far exceeded John's expectations.Even after paying the penalty, Martin offered them 42 million dollars.That was after taxes, which meant they could keep the entire amount!It was much higher than Joe had mentioned!John was utterly taken aback by the thought of having 14 million all to himself.Only then did he realize Matilda had been right about the value of those shares!However, Logan was taken aback by John's presence and slapped him, yelling, "What the hell are you standing there for? Call for an ambulance!"John reacted and attempted to call for an ambulance.Martin did not expect his words to have such an impact on them. So he said, "Mr. Sachs, my car is right outside. Get in, and I'll send her to the hospital!""Thank you, Mr. Conrad!"Logan rushed out with Celine in his arms. Martin instructed the driver to drive them
When Marilyn heard that, she looked at Chad, unsure what to say.Cayden was surprised, but he saw it as an opportunity to learn from Kaynes. So he volunteered himself, saying, "Professor, my name is Cayden Plume. If you're willing to offer some advice, I can perform the surgery!"Kaynes did not expect that, but he refused it. "I'm sorry, but I need to perform surgery on Ms. Fonsey's boyfriend. Dr. Plume, you're more than capable of performing the surgery. Cerebral hemorrhage is not that difficult to treat."After that, Kaynes hung up!However, John realized the most important point. Could Ms. Fonsey's boyfriend be Joe, Jojo's boyfriend?Was that why they could not find Joe? Was it because something had happened to him?The nurse rushed out and said, "This is not good. The patient may not make it..."Cayden rushed into the emergency room. He noticed that Celine's mouth and eyes were twisted. Her limbs were also twitching.Obviously, the bleeding in her head compressed more of he
Cayden looked at Chad in surprise, not understanding where he got his confidence.Cerebral hemorrhage was a severe bleeding in the brain that resulted in extremely high intracranial pressure in a short period. It would cause irreversible damage to the brain.As a result, once it occurred, most of those fortunate enough to be rescued would experience varying degrees of aftereffects.At the very least, Cayden had never seen anyone fully recover from it.Cayden knew it had been a little over an hour since Celine had fallen.During that time, protective measures such as venous bleeding through the neck to relieve pressure had been implemented.Nonetheless, Celine displayed all of those reactions. It indicated that the bleeding was unusually severe.Cayden speculated that a major artery in Celine's brain might have ruptured. Otherwise, her condition would not have deteriorated as quickly.In such cases, surgery was generally not recommended because the patient could die during the p
That was how Chad devised a specific treatment plan, accurately locating the site of the hemorrhage and using needles to stop the bleeding while also releasing the blood.Chad had never used the Clairvoyant Eye to save anyone before, and he had never felt its benefits so strongly!Chad could finally understand why the legendary Magpies in the books could treat illnesses so precisely!That was because Chad could easily determine anyone's health status based on the energy he saw. He could do that after his Clairvoyant Eye was opened.As a result, Chad quickly identified the source of the disease and applied his skills to cure the patient.The so-called surgery, which took place outside of a surgical theater, was completed in about an hour.Chad quickly removed all of the needles and threw them in the trashcan next to the bed. After that, he applied the Geronimo Thirteen Needles for some finishing touches.After Chad finished the treatment, Celine awoke and turned around lazily.C
The Hacniane Medical Association comprised the Traditional Medicine Association, the Modern Medicine Association, and the Pharmacist Association.Chad was the head of the Pharmacist Association because he had previously donated two high-quality elixir formulas. Those two formulas eventually became widely used medications for preventing and treating heart disease.Chad might not have invented them, but he did reconstruct those formulas from incomplete sources.So, despite Chad's youth, the Medical Association's leadership chose to go against the grain and appoint Chad as the head of the Pharmacist Association. At the same time, he became one of the three most powerful members of the Medical Association.On the other hand, Chad did not care about the Medical Association, so the title was meaningless to him.Those who were aware of Chad's accomplishments held him in high regard.Cayden felt as if he was hearing things. How could Chad have such a high position at such a young age?T
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
