"Dr. Healy, sorry we did not give you a proper welcome. Please forgive us!"Tori ran toward Sheldon to receive him.Sheldon awkwardly bowed. "Mr. Hart, that's too kind of you. Why don't I treat the patient first?"He walked to Terrence and crouched. Immediately, one of the men in black passed to him a pack of needles.Sheldon used only one needle and Terrence's condition improved.Terrence stopped convulsing and he looked better. However, he was still unconscious."That was a close call!"Cold sweat broke out on Sheldon's forehead.Seeing Uncle Terrence being treated, the younger generation of the Harts turned to Chad and gloated.'Dr. Healy the Great is here now. Chad's lies are going to be exposed.'Benjamin grabbed the chance to shift the blame to Chad."Dad, I did wrong! But I didn't do it on purpose. It was him! It was him!"Sheldon gave Benjamin a kick on his leg.Benjamin could not avoid Sheldon's leg and fell to the ground. The voice of Sheldon scolding Benjamin so
Chad said impatiently, "Don't make me repeat myself. Otherwise, I'll leave now!"The Hart family was displeased with Chad's response. 140 million dollars was a substantial amount.Ordinary people could not even earn that much money in a few lifetimes. But Chad just turned the offer down.Tori held his tongue, fearing that Chad might leave.After that, Chad turned to Benjamin, who was on his knees. He then strolled over to Sheldon and teased, "Shelly, are you going to do anything? It's just breaking one of his legs, not making him crippled. If you're not doing it, I'll do it!"Shelly!Sheldon, who was in his 50s was being called Shelly by Chad.The Harts found it absurd. They thought Chad was being ridiculous."Senior, you must be kidding me. He's my only son. Please let him go this time!"Feeling fearful, Sheldon pleaded pathetically.Watching Sheldon, the Hart family remained fell silent.Chad asked teasingly, "Do you think I'm trying to harm him?"Sheldon did not answer,
After Terrence regained consciousness, Sheldon went to great lengths to convince Terrence that he did not have lung cancer.Terrence still felt bad whenever he thought that Benjamin almost killed his father.However, the younger generation of the Hart family was even more fearful and guilty. They stood up for Benjamin and offended Chad.After all, the Hart family was rather strict, and serious punishment would be imposed whenever a mistake was made.Led by Tori, the family members of the Harts sent Sheldon and Benjamin off and returned to the banquet hall.Joshua was the leader of the young people of the family. All of them trembled as they waited for the "sentence" imposed by Tori.However, Tori helped Terrence and they left. They ended up chatting in Tori's study until the dead of night.The banquet ended because of the farce.At night, all of the young people of the Hart family received phone calls from their parents.Joshua, too received a call from his father, Trevor Hart
After Olivia was being controlled by Chad, she drunkenly said something harsh and then knocked out.Chad looked at Olivia, who was born a beaut, in his arm and he forced a smile.Undeniably, Olivia looked alluring when she was drunk. It's difficult for one to resist fantasizing about her."Oh no! She's getting drowsy from the alcohol. You're lucky you met me. Otherwise, something will surely happen."Chad forced a smile while looking at Olivia. He then tossed her onto the bed, took out some needles, and did dry needling on her to sober her up.After that, Chad put on his clothes and called Tori.Tori freaked out when he found out that his daughter barged into Dr. Jennings' room to assassinate Chad after getting drunk.Tori ordered Sebastian to follow along to the guest room but Tori stopped halfway."Forget it. Get back to bed!""Why?""This is a feud among the young people. Let them deal with it. Let's go!"As Tori turned around, he smiled to himself.Olivia had a pretty f
Olivia sat on the toilet in a daze. She awakened in an instant when she heard her father's voice.'Why am I in the liar's room?'And I'm only wearing my underwear.' Olivia was utterly confused.Chad opened the door and thought, "Old bastard, you just have to show up now!"The door was opened. Tori put on a cunning smirk as he peeked into the room."Dr. Jennings, did you have a good sleep?"Chad answered, "I didn't sleep. I'm about to take a shower."Tori smirked again. 'They lasted for the entire night? Looks like it's jackpot!'Tori then walked into the room, wanting to take a look at his daughter.Seeing her clothes on the floor, Tori was even certain."Since you didn't rest well, you may treat my father in the afternoon!"Then, Tori walked out of the room but Chad stood in his way."No need. I'll just get changed.""There's no rush. Dr. Jennings, you must enjoy yourself!"Tori was certain Chad and Olivia slept together. He then closed the door from outside of the room
"Dr. Jennings, just a moment, please. My Dad has recovered, but you and my daughter, Olivia."Immediately, Olivia shouted, "Dad, nothing happened between me and him!""Shut up!"Tori yelled and put a smile back on his face. He told Chad, "Dr. Jennings, you're talented and my daughter is beautiful. Both of you are perfect for each other. Why not?"Chad interrupted Tori and rejected, "It's okay. I'm fine being single. Please excuse me!"Tori got cold-shouldered and he was extremely embarrassed.Olivia stared at Chad as he walked away. She bit her lips while having deep thoughts. Tori did not give up. He chased after Chad and said, "Dr. Jennings, please wait a minute. One of my relatives will send you back to Bloomington!"Chad shouted from downstairs, "There's no need for that!"Tori locked eyes on Chad's back and yelled at Olivia, "You foolish child. Do you know who Dr. Jennings is?"Too bad, the two of you are just not meant to be. What a loss!"Olivia never felt so helples
John only had a fracture on his arm. He could have gone home to recuperate.So, John got discharged in the morning. Then, he gathered a group of friends to look for Chad in Bloomington.Chad glanced at John and scoffed. "You're not welcome here. Get lost!"John sat on the throne in a figure four leg lock position and sneered."Matilda told me you ought to give up everything. That means any asset in your name will belong to Matilda."I found out that this shop belongs to you, which means it belongs to my sister. And whatever belongs to my sister, belongs to me."So, get the fuck out of here. This shop is now mine."John said confidently and he looked rather obnoxious.John got ignored by Chad and that upset him further."Also, I want to talk to you about my arm."Chad never thought the Sachs would be so unreasonable that they would covet his ancestral home. He warned grimly,"This is not where you behave atrociously. If you want to live, then get lost!"John laughed and said
"Mr. Hawthorne, please forgive me. For my sister's sake, please forgive me. I've learned my mistake!"The group of friends who followed John there wanted to help when they saw him being pressed to the ground.Before John's friends could come near, two of Bill's bodyguards took out their guns and pointed at them.Bill looked at John who was on the ground and asked mockingly, "Is it? Tell me. What have you done wrong?"John recalled what Bill said and thought there must have been a misunderstanding. He explained, "Mr. Hawthorne, I'm sure this must be a misunderstanding. I don't know your brother-in-law. And I've never offended.""Wrong answer!"Bill refused to listen to John's explanation and motioned for his bodyguards to take action.Crack!"Ah!"John shrieked hysterically. The green veins on his neck were popping and his arm was severely twisted.John's friends witnessed the scene and scattered. They knew the other party was not to be messed with.Bill sneered. "I wonder if
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
