"Jackson, buddy, I got beaten up at the tax bureau. What do you think we should do?"

When he heard Theodore's frantic voice on the phone, Jackson Long was utterly bewildered. "Who would dare to lay a hand on you in Bloomington? Outrageous! Hang in there; I'll get some people to help you!"

After hanging up, Jackson pondered for a while and notified several individuals who worked off the books in Bloomington.

Finally, he called a mysterious person and said, "Weldon, the time has come! Theodore Enfield was beaten up at the tax office. Here's your chance to shine. If you handle this properly, your daughter's medical expenses will be covered."

After completing those tasks, Jackson left the company and drove directly to the tax office.

However, Theodore would not have only looked for Jackson. He also had connections in Bloomington's underground scene.

Furthermore, Theodore had a relative in Bloomington, whom he naturally informed. After losing so much dignity, he needed to reclaim it a

    "Yes!"Weldon was an honest person. Even though Jackson's words were purely rhetorical, he took them seriously.Welson yelled at the crowd, "Whoever hit Mr. Enfield, come forward and let me break your limbs."His words caused laughter. Who would admit to hitting somebody?"I thought Mr. Enfield was very special! But he just invited a second-rate guy over. This is hilarious."Hearing the mockery from the onlookers, Theodore felt utterly humiliated. He glared at Jackson and said, "I called you here to help me, not embarrass me!"Jackson smiled awkwardly, not expecting Weldon to take everything so seriously.He quickly said, "Mr. Enfield, don't get angry. Weldon is proficient in martial arts. He once killed a tiger with his bare hands. Simply tell him who attacked you and leave the rest to him."That remark elicited more laughter, but Chad could not laugh. He could see Weldon had formidable martial arts skills and was capable of killing a tiger barehanded.Weldon's stance made it

    Theodore was about to go insane. The thug he hired had turned around and threatened to kill him because the other side offered more money!"Jackson, what kind of person have you brought here? Hurry up and stop him.""Why are you just standing there? Stop, Weldon!"Even Jackson was at a loss and summoned the others who had arrived.However, no one dared to step forward, fearful of being hurt by Weldon.To cure his sister, that martial arts fanatic would disown his own relatives and beat up his own father.Crack!"Argh!""I just got some money!"Weldon was incredibly fast. Theodore could not dodge and was immediately thrown to the ground, his arm broken.Weldon then grabbed Theodore's other arm and prepared to make his move."I'll give you 4.5 million to kill that woman!"Crack!"Argh!"Weldon broke his arm despite his initial hesitation. Then, in his straightforward manner, he asked, "Do you think I'm stupid? If I murdered someone, I'd be executed. I don't want to die!"T

    Chad listened and inserted a needle into Lily's neck."Argh! It hurts!"Lily covered her head and fell to the ground, her face pale from shock as she looked at Chad and Gisella."What have you done to me? Oh, my head! It hurts so much.""You bastard! What did you do to Lily? What's wrong with her?"Ethan interrogated Chad while going to help Lily.Chad raised his hand again and flicked another needle. The next moment, Ethan fell to the ground, clutching his head."Two of a kind—you deserve the same punishment!"When Chad took action, Theodore realized he had chosen the wrong fight.Even with both arms broken, he remained arrogant. "Do you think you're very capable? You'll cry after this!"Several luxury cars slowly approached and parked in front of the tax office. Several people got out of their vehicles.Toby, the CEO of Veritas Pharmaceutical, led the way, followed by Bill and Bloomington's mayor, Zach.Toby saw Theodore with both arms broken and exclaimed in shock and ra

    "I'm fucking amazed. This guy is incredible.""Damn! He beat somebody to a pulp in front of the mayor. He basically slapped the mayor in the face!"The crowd began to stir. Weldon's reckless behavior was simply outrageous.However, Gisella felt a great deal of satisfaction from it. Her year-long resentment was finally released at that moment."Here! Go cash it!"When Gisella handed Weldon the written check, she underwent a significant transformation. The feeling of controlling others with money was incredible, and being wealthy was truly remarkable!However, Gisella was also strongly repulsed by that feeling.Zach's face darkened as he waved angrily at the police officers beside him."Men! Wait for that guy to come out, then handcuff and take him away!""Mr. Jovy, I vouch for that person!"Gisella stepped forward, blocking the police officers.How could Zach let Weldon go?He yelled, "I don't know who you are, but for the sake of Dr. Jennings, I won't pursue you. But that g

    Gisella asked, "Do you have a job?""No! I just make money from fighting!" Weldon's response was straightforward.Gisella chuckled and said, "I have a job opening for a bodyguard. Do you want it?"Weldon was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Sure! Sure! Miss, as long as you don't mind that I'm dumb!"Gisella smiled and said, "Good, from now on, you're my bodyguard."Zach was shocked. She just spent so much money hiring a thug to disable Theodore's limbs.That much money would have been sufficient to end Theodore's life. The money was simply wasted!Was the girl really that wealthy?"Mr. Jovy…"Theodore should have been taken away by ambulance, but when he noticed Zach's hesitation, he yelled in pain and anger."Why are you hesitant? Arrest them, and I'll sign a contract of intent to invest 210 million right now!"Zach, an experienced politician, was at a loss when confronted with Gisella's ambiguity.Bill and Toby, who had been watching the situation develop the entire time,

    Toby hung up the phone and looked at Theodore seriously. He said, "I thought you only offended Dr. Jennings, but you also offended her. I can't save you anymore!"Theodore asked anxiously, "Her? Gisella Keating? Who's she?""Who's she? Do you know why she calls Dr. Jennings uncle?" Toby remarked, thinking about the powerful figures behind her. It caused him to break into a cold sweat.Theodore refused to give up and asked, "Uncle, please tell me! Perhaps I'll find a way to turn the tables!""Turn the tables?" Toby sneered and looked at Theodore with pity."Gisella's grandfather is Sheldon Healy's mentor. Sheldon Healy is the master of medical arts in the capital. Tell me—how do you intend to turn the tables?""That's impossible! There must be a mistake..." Theodore was dumbfounded. There was no way he could turn things around.Sheldon was probably the most influential person in Hacniane.That doctor not only knew many high-ranking officials and business people in Hacniane, but

    In the car, Fifi sighed, thinking it was rash to invest 420 million on a whim.Gisella smiled lightly and asked, "What's the point of keeping so much money? I can't even spend it all. Besides, I'm not interested in money. I just need enough to cover my expenses."Fifi looked at Chad and teased, "You sound just like someone I know who always says they're not interested in money.'"Chad coughed and said awkwardly, "Fifi, please don't make fun of me."Unexpectedly, Gisella said, "Making money isn't difficult for me. During my internship, I received enough money from patients' families to buy a house in Bloomington."Curious, Fifi asked, "How much money did the patients give?"Gisella murmured absentmindedly, "Minor surgeries cost a few hundred dollars, while major surgeries cost thousands of dollars, depending on the procedure. In a year, approximately 50 to 60 people gave me money."Fifi exclaimed, "Wow, hospitals are so corrupt!"Gisella distractedly said, "Dr. Damon Chevy, who

    When the helicopter landed, plainclothes officers immediately surrounded it. Another wave of plainclothes officers began to frisk those on the scene.Zach was so shocked that he nearly collapsed.Only super dignitaries, such as cabinet ministers and national pillars, could create such a scene.Ordinary cabinet members could not do that without prior notice.Even top military leaders, including the God of War, could not act without prior notice like that.Toby was even more surprised and exclaimed, "Who on earth is coming?"On the other hand, Winston had a strong feeling that someone at the pinnacle of martial arts was aboard the helicopter.That person recognized Winston as an earthbound immortal the moment the helicopter passed over Temple Road.Winston could tell that the person had focused on him, and the plainclothes officers who appeared unexpectedly appeared to treat Winston as the primary target of their surveillance.Click…When the helicopter door opened, a spirited

    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.
