"Master, how did you get so badly injured?" Seis coughed several times, bringing up blood unexpectedly."It's a long story. This time, Meran and I are seriously injured in the core. We must go into seclusion. It'll take us at least two or three years to recover. You should all leave right away; I can't hold on for much longer."Chad looked at Seis, stunned, not expecting the cost of this endeavor to be so high.Rowan's God of the Night had been scrapped, and Meran and Seis were both severely injured and in seclusion.Fortunately, Balaro had died. Even if he could be revived, he would be severely injured and would take a long time, if ever, to recover.Chad walked out of Cloth Alley with Esther and Youlee, reflecting on that. When they looked back, Cloth Alley was overgrown with weeds and appeared to have been abandoned for years.Esther looked at Cloth Alley and said, "Hidden amid the bustling city—Meran and Seis are very clever!"Those words made Chad think of the token for the
Winston retaliated with a slap!Smack!However, the slap did not land. Instead, Esther blocked it with one hand and responded with a slap of her own.Then Winston's attempt to strike back resulted in him being slapped again.Winston's face went numb after those two slaps, sending him into a frenzy.As an earthbound immortal, it was impossible for mortals to harm him, but it had happened twice!Youlee and Chad were already accustomed to that. Both of them were aware of Esther's status and strength on Fearsome Mountain.Dealing with Winston was a breeze for Esther, so Youlee helped Chad to the backyard."Old lady, no matter how you managed it, you're doomed now!" Winston began to laugh in anger. He focused his internal energy, and a visible golden immortal crown appeared above his head. At the same time, he felt an unmatched force rush through his body.He proudly said, "Prepare to die—"Smack!Esther's expression remained unchanged as she delivered another slap, interrupting
Winston amused Matilda, but she still said, "Winston, I know you like me, but I'm going to get married to Chad again. Thank you for your affection, but please don't waste your time on me."Winston shrugged indifferently and said, "I have plenty of time to waste. Besides, have you ever seen me date anyone during our four years at university? No, right..."That remark caught Matilda off guard and made her feel slightly guilty. Winston was the well-known Prince of Bloomington College during their college years, and many of his classmates admired him. However, after four years, there were only a few rumors about him and Matilda.Matilda asked skeptically, "You're not doing this because of me, right?""It was because of you, especially since I learned you were marrying Chad. I was heartbroken for a year!"Even though Winston claimed otherwise, he kept his affairs private. There were many women around him.Any woman confronted with Winston's confession would not be able to resist him,
Chad hesitated momentarily before saying, "No, thanks! I'm lazy and despise restrictions. Besides, I'm not short on money."Colleen gave Chad an indulgent look and said, "You're right. How can you possibly be without money? Someone is the director of the national mint. He can have as much money as he likes."Youlee was furious and responded, "He doesn't have money. That's national funds. He simply manages them!"When the women saw Youlee's amusing rebuttal, they laughed, their bodies shaking with mirth.Suri laughed along, but she was also shocked. Chad's lack of interest in money was unsurprising, given that someone close to him was the director of the Hacniane Mint.Chad shook his head helplessly and said, "Everyone has a few close friends. Please don't tease me."Finally, Alicia stopped the conversation and said, "Let's stop here! Why don't we tell Chad more about the situation?"Except for Suri and Youlee, the others were smiling mysteriously.Chad sensed something was wron
"How's she doing now?""She's studying medicine at Sherry Medical School, doing a postgraduate program, and interning at Bloomington Hospital!" Archibald said, pulling out his phone and sending Chad a few pictures.Chad looked through the photos and saw a tall, slender young woman his age.She wore a stethoscope around her neck and glasses on her face, giving off an aloof appearance."Gisella, you made it so hard for me to find you!"With his sister and the news of Gisella finally arriving, the heavy burden in Chad's heart was relieved.Chad felt unprecedented relief at that moment, to the point where the congestion in his body's internal energy eased.Chad's eyes became warm, and his Clairvoyant Eye activated immediately.He was on guard because he knew it was a sign of awakening spiritual perception. It was common among practitioners of the Mystic arts after their spiritual perception awakened completely.His spiritual perception had been fully awakened after he forcibly bro
Winston stretched his body, and there was a dried corpse on the bed.The cascading long hair on the corpse revealed that it was the beautiful woman who had helped Winston change out of his shoes earlier.Winston just used the evil technique Darkness to Light, literally sucking the woman dry and turning her into a corpse."How much more?"Winston walked out of the bedroom, sipping beer from a bottle."Thirty Gold Energy Pills!" Monte said as he looked out the car window at night."Isn't that too much? Gold Energy Pills are made with human lives—"Before Winston could finish, Monte said, "I know. Aren't women who have been sucked dry by Darkness to Light the materials for Gold Energy Pills? And don't you produce the materials every month?"Winston paused, glancing at the dried corpse on the bed, before lazily responding, "Fifteen!"Monte raised the price. "Forty! Stop haggling, or I'll inform the big boss that you're using evil tactics!"Winston's expression darkened. He reluct
Before the intern could respond, Gisella said, "The patient was originally transferred from Eastvale Private Hospital. It's been about a week or so since then, and this was the condition they were in when they arrived."Chet glanced at Gisella as if he had not heard her, and he continued to ask, "How long has the patient been hospitalized?"The new intern hurriedly replied, "Eight days. She transferred from Paladin Private Hospital. When she arrived, she just had surgery. She was fully conscious but was advised to stay in bed to recover.""Is that so?" Chet sneered at Celine, asking, "Madam, raise your hand—"Celine was quite clear-headed and disliked being asked to perform actions by doctors or undergoing reaction tests.So, she looked at him coldly and retorted, "Raise my hand? What for? Do you want me to slap you?"Chet could not control his expression. He looked at her medical records.When he saw that Celiene had undergone surgery, he looked at her bald head and said, "Perf
"Wow, you're quite bold. Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?!"Chet had not expected that person to be so audacious, but when he saw Chad holding Gisella's hand, he realized something and said, "I understand now. You're Gisella's boyfriend, right?""Doctor Penn, he's not my boyfriend. I don't even know him! Please don't fire me!"Gisella quickly pulled her hand back, hoping to distance herself from Chad.Gisella looked around at her colleagues, hoping someone would speak up for her.However, they kept their heads down and pretended not to notice what was happening.Chad drew Gisella into his arms. She tried to break free, but Chad was too strong."Let me go; I don't know you. Help, someone!"As Gisella struggled, Chad said quietly, "It doesn't matter if you know me or not, but I'm here to help you."Chet assumed Chad was a fan of Gisella's, so he sneered, "Gisella, you want to keep this job, right? Then, refrain from getting involved with shady characters
