Chad dragged his weakened body out of the underground alchemy room. He had forced himself to visualize so many diagrams the night before, causing extreme mental and physical exhaustion.During that time, he was only able to survive by eating Cleansing Pills as meals. However, after crawling out of the alchemy room and covering the entrance, Chad was unable to move once he crawled back into bed.Matilda happened to arrive at that exact moment. Chad barely had the strength to respond to her.Following the sound, Matilda opened the door and saw Chad, who had become much thinner. "What's going on with you? Should I take you to the hospital?""No need. I'm just starving." Matilda was delighted to hear that. She had made the right decision by bringing him food."I brought you some food. I cooked your favorites," Matilda said as she helped Chad up and fed him.After a few bites, Chad felt a faint sense of strength rise within him. That allowed him to hold the plate and eat, so he grabbe
Suri and Ms. Grey were awake and cleaning up the mess in Treasure Trove, which had been turned upside down the previous night.Fifi lay on the bed, stiff as a board. Her cold symptoms had worsened due to excessive internal energy consumption the previous night.Without saying anything, Chad turned Fifi over and began massaging her to stimulate her muscles and veins.Fifi expressed her pain by saying, "Why don't we be together?"Chad continued his massage, asking, "Why?""It's not for any reason. I'm already this age and have never been with a man. It's such a waste. If I can't move one day and still haven't had the taste of a man, won't that be a huge loss?"Chad did not respond to what Fifi said, but his hand movements became stronger, particularly when massaging specific areas. Chad was deliberately staying a little longer."Mmm, I knew you'd want it. Why won't you just give it to me?"Chad was unable to resist Fifi's seductive voice. His hands became more aggressive in speci
After Matilda left in the morning, she got out of Winston's car halfway and returned home, where she figured things out.Chad had quietly delivered meals to her for three years without any complaints.Who was she to say no to Chad treating her like that currently?Matilda carefully prepared lunch and decided to keep delivering meals after she realized that.It was just like Matilda's personality. She had clear goals and could love and hate as she pleased.Matilda was not a cold or strong woman. She was only cold toward Chad because she was preoccupied with her work.When Matilda fell in love with Chad, she had been stuck with Chad indoors for seven days straight.If it had not been for Matilda's menstrual cycle, they would have probably gone on for several more days.Matilda felt incredibly nostalgic as she recalled the carefree days of their college years.When she arrived at the Hall of Herbs, she discovered that Chad was absent. Based on previous experience, she assumed Cha
"It's time for dinner!" Chad shouted into the bedroom and began serving the meal."Chad, Chad, open the door!"However, Chad heard Matilda's voice coming from the direction of the Hall of Herbs.Chad found his phone and discovered that it was out of battery.Chad noticed the lunchbox on the table and realized Matilda had returned to deliver more food. So, he told Fifi, "I'll go take a look!"Fifi said as she ate, "Go ahead! Matilda seems serious about remarrying you this time.""Unfortunately, it's impossible for now!" Chad replied helplessly. Then he returned to the Hall of Herbs via the side door.When he opened the door, Matilda walked in as if she had just returned home, setting the lunchbox on the coffee table."Where were you at noon? I had to deliver your lunch next door! This is your dinner. Are you hungry? Come eat."Chad raised his hand and said, "I just returned and took the lunchbox. Should I heat it?""There's no need. I've prepared a new one. You can throw that
In the car, Hector looked at Cloth Alley and sighed. "In the past 500 years, this is the only newly added immortal realm on earth."Balaro smiled and said, "It's because no one has practiced the Mystic Hexa Techniques in the past 500 years, which led to no increase in immortal realms."Hector sighed. "Yeah. I would say the Mystic Hexa Pirates should be regarded as benefactors of the Mystics."Balaro pointed to the Hall of Herbs and said, "Over there in the Hall of Herbs is the ancestral home of the notorious thief, Top Jennings."Hector exclaimed with a grin, "All six scoundrels of the Mystic Hexa Pirates come from Temple Road. That's an undeniable fact, and even—"Balaro interrupted Hector, saying, "Hector, there are some things we're better off not knowing.""Yeah, you're right," Hector said, glancing at Winston in the passenger seat before smiling mysteriously."Hector, I'll get off here and go to the Hall of Herbs."Balaro exited the car, as did Ayo and Shuten from the car
At the time, Jojo was meeting with the senior executives and instructing them to conceal the fact that Marilyn had been kidnapped.Bang!Matilda ruthlessly pushed the door open and arrogantly said, "Can someone tell me where your CEO, Marilyn, is?"Matilda's unexpected appearance surprised everyone, prompting some to say, "Ms. Sachs, she—"However, before the person could finish speaking, he shut his mouth, realizing that Matilda was no longer the president of Ballenuite.Jojo sneered at Matilda. "Marilyn left town for a business trip. If you have her phone number, why don't you call her yourself?"Matilda reached for her phone and dialed Marilyn's number as soon as she said that.However, only the sound indicating that Marilyn's phone was turned off played.Jojo continued to argue. "She's probably on a plane, so her phone is turned off!"Matilda asked, "I've been calling her all day, and Matilda's phone has been turned off the entire time. Where could she be that required her
"How much? Card or cash? Which currency? Tell me clearly, and I will pay!" Chad asked decisively. The other person was silenced before they hung up the phone.Looking at the random number on the landline, it was clear that the other party was using an internet number.Chad looked anxiously toward Temple Road.He knew it was a conspiracy to force him to leave Temple Road.The other party was fully aware that Chad would leave Temple Road.They must have wanted the manuscript from Chad's master, Worldly Medicine.However, Chad was forced to leave because he had lost his sister ten years earlier.Chad would have given up the manuscript for Marilyn, let alone money.The landline quickly rang again, and when Chad answered, the other party said, "Fifteen million in cash. The payment must be made at Temple Road. Hand over the money and the goods will be delivered!"Click!The other party quickly hung up, confirming Chad's suspicion that they were stalling for time.The reasoning was
The only way to break the induced chaos was to stop the person ascending.So Chad called Fifi, but no one responded!Chad felt uneasy because Fifi never ignored his calls.It was obvious that the situation on Temple Road was worse than he had anticipated!Chad had no idea what to do until he noticed a helicopter platform on the top floor of Cloud Nine Tower.He told Zach, "Send a helicopter to Cloud Nine Tower immediately to pick me up and send me to Temple Road!"The ground was impractical; flying was the only option!Zach supported Chad's request and immediately arranged for a police helicopter to fly to him.A few minutes later, a flock of birds appeared when the helicopter approached Cloud Nine Tower.The dense flock encircled the top of the building, with various birds hovering in the air.The helicopter could not land because any error would result in a disastrous crash.Chad's heart sank. He did not expect those people to have considered that as well.After an hour,
