When Matilda saw how Janette was acting, she hurriedly greeted, "Ms. Lawson, you're being too kind. This time, Bellenuite is offering some very good conditions. Allow me to explain."

"There's no need!" Yet, Janette immediately stopped her, "The Lawson Group will be investing 140 million dollars into Bellenuite!"

"What?"

Matilda was completely stunned, but Janette walked onto the stage and grabbed the microphone before looking at Matilda and saying, "I said that Lawson Group will be investing 140 million dollars into you. Of course, there are some conditions attached! Ms. Sachs, if you're interested, then we can talk about it in private!"

Those words caused a gasp of surprise across the venue. That was because an investment of that level was no different from just buying Bellenuite over.

Matilda did not dare to agree on the spot and fell into silent thought instead.

In her eyes, that investment was not going to come easy.

However, Jojo reacted very quickly, immediately approachin

    Late at night, in the suite, Matilda finally made her decision."Ms. Lawson, I'll agree to your conditions. Shall we formalize it by signing the contract?""Of course!"When Janette agreed so promptly, Matilda breathed a sigh of relief.Jojo brought the contract over, and both parties signed and stamped it with their official seals, completing the 140 million dollar investment.Matilda wanted to celebrate with some champagne, but Janette rejected her.Before she left, Janette said to Matilda, "The investment will be disbursed in three installments. The first time will be 60 million, while the rest will be given evenly in the next two installments. Also, Marilyn is in Bloomington right now. She's a part of the medical team from Europe that the Long family invited over."Walking out with Janette, Matilda said in surprise after she heard that, "But I met that medical team this afternoon. I didn't see my cousin there."Janette smiled slightly and said, "According to my sources, she

    "I'm going back soon.""Have a safe trip!" Chad said, but he was still thinking about the photo on his phone."Can't you speak properly? You're even wishing for a safe trip for me. Don't you want anything you want to ask?"Janette's words reminded Chad, so he said, "Congratulations to you for investing 140 million into Bellenuite.""You! You little rascal! Forget it, I don't want to argue with you anymore. Remember to come see me when you're free.""Yes, I will."After hanging up, Chad vaguely felt that Janette had something to say to him.However, compared to his sister, nothing else was important. So, with that in mind, he picked up his phone and looked through his chat history with Black Phoenix. In Chad's freshman year, Black Phoenix added Chad on social media, claiming to be a private investigator.Initially, Chad thought that they were a scammer, but Black Phoenix accurately provided all the information about Chad's sister.Black Phoenix even said that it would be im

    If that was his sister in the photo, then where was she? Was she living a good life?Black Phoenix did not mention anything about that at all. Chad excitedly flipped open the album, and it was filled with pictures of his sister.He wanted to figure out which city his sister was in from the photos, but the images were blurred and impossible to discern."Chad, you're back. Your parents have been looking for Snow for ten years. Have they found her?" Chad looked over when he heard the voice and saw a middle-aged woman standing by the door. She was Dorren Welt.She was standing at the entrance of the shop with a hopeful look on her face. When Chad saw her, he felt his heart twist with a pang of guilt that surged out.Back then, the whole of Templer Road was mobilized to look for Snow.Yet, in that process, two unfortunate accidents happened.Doreen's husband, Jack Welt, was involved in a car accident while looking for Snow and had passed away.Thud.Chad knelt in front of Doree

    "Ah, there's no harm in talking about it. It's just a guess in the community here, and some rumors around here too. Before Snow went missing, didn't your father go for a consultation at some important person's house?"As Chad listened to what Arthur had to say, he found out about some things that he did not know about back then.Ten years ago, after returning from the Hawthorne family, Chad's father went for a consultation at the home of someone important.That person, to make sure all of the attending doctors would treat him to the best of their skills, kidnapped a close relative of all the consulting doctors. However, the person still died in the end.Hearing that, Chad clenched his fist tightly.Meanwhile, Arthur sighed as he said with a heavy heart, "Ah, we're just telling you all of this to advise you against searching blindly as your parents did."Grayson took over, saying, "That's right! It's been ten years. We don't even know how they're doing right now."Doreen's eyes

    While Chad was staring at the photo in the news, Matilda opened the door to John's room at Bloomington Hospital.John lay on the bed in a pitiful state, with both his arms broken and his upper half completely bandaged like a mummy.When Matilda saw him, she both felt pity and anger and scolded John, "I've already divorced him, so why did you provoke him for no reason?!"Celine was upset when she heard that and cried out with red eyes, "Are you sure you're still my daughter? Your brother did all this for you"Matilda was a bit frustrated as well, "But he went to find Chad. How'd he end up offending Mr. Hawthorne from the Sangrea Group?"Celine was even more unhappy at that, sobbing as she argued, "Matilda, where's your humanity? Your brother was the one who was beaten up. Didn't you say that Chad left without anything? Why does he still have a property at Templer Road?"Matilda felt a headache coming on. She knew that her mother and brother were being unreasonable, but she had no

    Celine saw that Matilda was adamant that she would not give any money, and started to curse and swear, "Matilda, did you feed your heart to the dogs? He's your brother! Your brother suffered so much for your sake, that both his arms were broken. He just wants a little money from you, so how could you refuse him? You are heartless. I've wasted so many years of my life raising you." As Matilda heard her mother's cursing behind her, her tears constantly fell.Yet, what could she do when they knew nothing and were so unreasonable?After she walked into the elevator, Matilda cursed to herself. It was all Chad's fault!She felt like, after their divorce, Chad was constantly targeting her. First, he ruined her talks with the Hart family. Then, he almost ruined her banquet the night before.Chad was just despicable!…"Achoo!"In the Hall of Herbs, Chad suddenly let out a sneeze. He rubbed his nose as he found Matilda's number.They were just divorced for a few days, so Matilda's n

    The Long Family Manor was on the outskirts of the city.However, the Long family was not as extravagant as the Hart family and was more low-key.After Chad arrived there, everyone there seemed very polite.The manor did not boast any extravagant villas, and merely had a few quaint courtyards, making it look like a small village.Audrina's aunt, Sandra Young, was in one of the buildings.As Chad entered, he saw a red sportscar in front, while the yard's decorations were very elegant and understated.The moment he entered, he heard the sound of coughing. Mystic healers relied on four methods of diagnostics, which were looking, listening, asking, and touching.Before he even saw the person, Chad already had a rough judgment in his mind. However, the cause of the illness greatly surprised him."Nathan, are your parents home?" Audrina shouted to a teen who was about fifteen or sixteen.The teen was called Nathan Long. He was walking to the house at that moment, walking as he pl

    "Traditional medicine categorizes different symptoms in a detailed manner. They are split into nine types: Illness, ailment, sickness, madness, cancer, pestilence, hysteria, numbness, and parasites! What Mrs. Long has is a pestilence that isn't infectious, but incredibly hard to treat!"Hearing what Chad said, Stanley wiped the look of disdain off his face.He noticed that Chad did seem to understand Sandra's symptoms.Chad continued, "For this pestilence, you can only cure it with very targeted medication. Otherwise, you won't be able to get rid of the root of the disease, and it will torment her until her death!"Hearing that, Stanley gradually dispelled his doubts and started to worry about his wife's disease. In the past two months, Sandra saw quite a few doctors and failed to get better despite various medications and injections.They invited many renowned experts, but her condition only worsened.After two months of suffering, Sandra was already so weak that she could bar

    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.
