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
What bothered Winston the most was that the great medicine—Gisella—whom he had his eye on, had such a background, implying that she was untouchable.Sheldon accompanied Lawson into the shop and said, "Today, Sir Lawson is here as a witness. Today, I will take Gisella Keating as my disciple, teaching her everything I've learned about medicine. She can accept responsibility for Sir Lawson's health in the next five years."A collective gasp was heard as soon as those words were spoken!It meant Gisella would be Lawson's personal doctor in five years. Even though it would take five years, Sheldon's guarantee sealed the deal.Lawson beckoned to Gisella. "Gisella, come here and let me look at you."Gisella approached nervously and was held by Lawson to be examined."You've suffered for years! Your grandfather was my personal doctor for over 30 years, and he saved my life several times. I've let his descendants suffer in this world. It's entirely my fault, but it will never happen again
Bang!"Damn it!" Winston slammed the steering wheel down and drove away.On the way, Winston called Monte and said, "Monkey, stop all actions."Monte said, "I also received the same message from the organization. Take care of yourself, and don't contact me unless absolutely necessary."Meanwhile, several military helicopters landed on Temple Road, and wheeled armored vehicles also drove in.Peak Institute and Cloth Alley were transformed into military-restricted areas, with no one permitted to approach.Chad wanted to ask what was going on, but he was stopped by soldiers with guns."Stop! No one is allowed to approach the restricted area. Those who don't comply will be executed on the spot!"Everyone at the scene was in a state of panic, unable to understand what was happening.Furthermore, they were puzzled when they tried to question the big shots they knew.Those people were somewhat panicked and fled that troublesome place.However, they silently warned themselves that t
What were the criteria for the danger assessments?Who exactly was threatening him, Matilda, and Gisella, and evaluating them in that manner?Chad wondered if anyone had tampered with the list.Chad was surprised to learn Matilda was not biologically related to Celine and Logan.However, Chad became even more perplexed when he realized Lawson had personally handed him that list.[Dark Phoenix, female, real name... Background... Currently... Group CEO, outstanding abilities, awakened to level one. Evaluation: Danger level undetermined. Danger rating: undetermined.]"She's also on the list, but..."Chad saw Dark Phoenix's name, but her real name and background were obscured.Chad tried hard but failed to remove the cover.Furthermore, Chad noticed that Dark Phoenix's profile said awakened!She was one of the few awakened people on the list who remained marked in red!However, what did the word—awakened—actually mean?Chad tried hard to recall his previous conversation with La
"I'll be damned! What are you doing? Cease fire, everyone!"The gunfire came to a halt amid the officer's furious shouts. The officer scolded the two soldiers who had fired."What are you blindly shooting at? Is anyone there?" Chad was taken aback by the officer's reprimand and turned to face the direction of the gunfire. There was only an old tree riddled with bullet holes, with no sign of anyone."Sergeant, we saw a man and a woman dressed in robes. They looked very old.""Yeah! I told them to stop and not approach, but they didn't seem to listen and continued walking toward us."The sergeant slapped one of them angrily, saying, "Nonsense, you are both seeing things!"Finally, he angrily pointed to the moon in the sky, saying, "There's a full moon tonight; even without streetlights, there shouldn't be any mistakes."Chad subconsciously looked at the sky outside—a full moon hung high, round and bright."Don't be afraid. I'll protect you." Weldon's voice came from the backyard,
"I made a few dishes you like, but I'm not sure if they suit your taste." Matilda opened the lunchbox and revealed several delicate vegetarian dishes, all of which Chad enjoyed."How thoughtful of you!" Chad said absentmindedly, his expression grim."What's wrong? Are you feeling ill?" Matilda went straight for Chad's forehead, and the entire action seemed quite natural."Looks like you don't have a fever.""I'm fine. Did you see a full moon in the sky just now?"Matilda was puzzled when she heard Chad's question. "I did. The moon was quite large tonight. What's wrong?""How can there be a full moon today when it should only be a half moon? Don't you find it strange?"Matilda was taken aback by Chad's words, but she waved her hand and said, "It's strange, but it's only a moon! Perhaps it's a peculiar astronomical phenomenon. Anyway, the experts will be out shortly to explain it."Matilda coaxed Chad to sit down, glancing at Gisella with a hint of provocation.However, Chad had
"They don't have shadows. Are they ghosts?""Let's forget about that. Do we shoot or not?!""As if! Go report this!"One of the soldiers sneaked away to file a report.They had been looking at the two young men dressed in robes in front of the Hall of Herbs.As the two soldiers stated, they had no shadows.The light from the Hall of Herbs passed through their bodies without obstruction.They walked past the Hall of Herbs' door as if they were ghosts.The soldier who remained was so stunned that his eyes were about to pop out, and his heart felt like it would jump out of his throat.He wanted to shout but was so nervous that he appeared to have forgotten how to speak.His throat moved but made no noise.In the end, the soldier forgot how to breathe and fainted.He fainted, and a yellow talisman appeared on his back.The night breeze blew through, and the talisman turned to dust.The two young men stood in the shop, facing the backyard.The fat one smiled and said, "Those
Weldon opened the door and walked out of the shop, already seeing the ambulance from a distance.Temple Road was completely empty at that time. Weldon looked at the night sky and said softly, "Two dogs with short memories."As soon as the ambulance arrived, Weldon resumed his simpleton demeanor and led the medics to the backyard.Gisella and Weldon locked the door after the two patients entered the ambulance.After they left, Temple Road became quiet again."Are they gone?""They're gone.""I was so scared. I can't believe there's something like that here.""Yes! It was too surprising."The night breeze blew past the empty Temple Road, and if one listened closely, they could faintly hear it in the wind.The atmosphere at the distant army camp stationed at Cloth Alley was extremely tense.The sergeant held a military communications device and reported on what had occurred on Temple Road.Earlier, a soldier had died unexpectedly, and the medic was conducting an autopsy.Howe
