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,
Bloomington had a unique experience 60 years ago.At the time, the entire country was working to build those air raid shelters, with Bloomington leading the way, even constructing a small underground city.However, the shelters became increasingly ineffective as time passed, and many entrances and exits were sealed shut.Chad was aware of all that, but because the opponent had considered both the ground and the sky, he could only hope for success underground.The maintenance hole cover in the corner of Cloud Nine Tower's underground garage was lifted, revealing a vast dark space beneath.Chad jumped down without hesitation and quickly disappeared into it.Theoden stood there stunned momentarily, murmuring, "What a good kid!"Chad descended the iron ladder, landing after more than ten meters.However, the air in the deserted air raid shelter was murky and foul.After landing, Chad formed hand seals for the Immortal Guidance technique to determine the direction and sprinted off.
The figure said unequivocally, "I'll return it once I'm done."After that, the figure carried Fifi into her room before leaving.Several figures hid among them in a dirty ruin on Temple Road, surrounding the returning figure."Are you sure? Will we really receive 15 million in cash?"The speaker was a chubby man with a mouth full of large yellow teeth; he looked extremely ugly.The figure said, "Don't worry. If I say so, you'll get it. I'm just wondering if you'll be able to take the money away."Someone said with contempt, "Isn't money just paper? How heavy can it be? We can handle it!"However, the figure said coldly, "Fifteen million in cash weighs about 550 kilograms. Are you sure you can take it all?"The others became ecstatic. Their breath quickened, and their eyes shone with excitement.The chubby man looked at the time and said, "Half an hour left. It's almost time for the appointment—"The figure interrupted the chubby man, saying, "Just be ready. He'll come!"Ten
