"Are you sure you can trust them?" Grayson asked.Chad responded indifferently, "Don't worry! I have my ways. Don't worry, Mr. Wiles."Grayson said, "I'm still worried. I'll hurry up and get Weldon through the inspection, and then I'll get him back by your side.""Please don't!" Chad turned serious and said, "Arrange for Weldon to stay with Marilyn!"Grayson looked surprised and said awkwardly, "Marilyn doesn't seem to need it! She—""Why wouldn't she need it? If the assassins went after her..." Chad interrupted Grayson with a solemn expression.He was genuinely concerned about his sister. Chad had no idea what he would do if the assassins kidnapped Marilyn and tried to blackmail him with her."I understand. I'll have him be Marilyn's driver to protect her!" Grayson said."Thank you, Mr. Wiles!" Chad said, thankful."Alright! I'll get going now. You're such a troublemaker. Special Operations will keep an eye on you after this!" Grayson said as he rose to leave.Chad led him o
"Who do you think you are, trying to take me as your disciple?"Chad was no idiot, and he was level-headed as well. The photos his master left behind had been those of him in the past.The person who resembled Rowan's old photos was not Rowan!"I am Immortal Keating. I came to the mortal realm to look for the bloodline I left behind. I didn't expect to meet you, you little bug. It's quite interesting," the self-proclaimed Immortal Keating said.Chad was immediately on alert as he asked, "Interesting? In what way?"When Immortal Keating heard that, he was surprised. "You don't know? True, the mortal and immortal worlds are separated; it would be strange if they weren't. I guess you're unaware that you have a Mystic Archive!"Chad was shocked, but he did not show it. He deliberately asked, "What's a Mystic Archive?"Immortal Keating laughed as if pleased with his guess that Chad had no idea what a Mystic Archive was."The Mystic Archive is an inheritance left behind by immortals.
Chad asked, puzzled, "Watching me? How much is being offered for me to attract so many people?"Grayson's expression became even more peculiar when he answered Chad's question. "For laying hands on you without causing harm—1.5 million. Injuring you but leaving you alive—15 million. Severe injuries—30 million. "Killing you and leaving no corpse behind—60 million. Killing you and leaving some limbs behind—75 million. Killing you and producing your whole body—150 million.""Damn!" Chad was dumbfounded. He knew there was a bounty on his head, but he did not expect it to be divided into so many tiers.Grayson sighed and patted Chad's shoulder, noticing his confusion. "Do you understand now?"Chad scratched his head and said, "Is my life worth that much?""It's not about the money," Grayson said solemnly. "They understand how difficult it is to kill you, so they're using this method to expose you. The more attention you attract, the more trouble you'll get. Do you understand now?"Ch
"Dr. Jennings, I'm Jasmine, and I'm 170 centimeters tall...""Dr. Jennings, I'm Scarlett, and I'm 168 centimeters tall...""Dr. Jennings, my name is Cheryl, and I'm 165 centimeters tall..."After that, the women took off their nightgowns and freely displayed their bodies, introducing themselves to Chad one by one.Chad considered himself a decent man and desperately wanted to yell that it was enough.However, he swallowed the words because he was a man!How could a man not appreciate the scene in front of him? If he did not like it, he was not a man!This scene, which could only appear in so-called educational films, was Chad's first experience of its kind!Half an hour later, everyone had finished showcasing themselves. Jasmine asked, "Dr. Jennings, which of us do you prefer? You can pick anyone!"Chad was momentarily dazed. He forced himself to slow his rapid breathing and finally said, "I choose you!"Jasmine was surprised to hear that. The others were more feminine, matur
After all, one of the Mystics' early legends involved an emperor ascending into a dragon.Many historians believed that it was the day the emperor died amid thunder and lightning. The emperor must have been like him—a Mystic who had fused with an immortal!Miss Sixth explained to Chad how the world's first transformed demon was born. It was the legend of a fox spirit whom an emperor adored.According to the legend, the emperor was possessed by a fox, just as Miss Sixth claimed.However, at the end of the story, Miss Sixth mentioned something that made Chad think of Ayo Kato. "After the dynasty fell, the fox that possessed the emperor fled to what is now known as Saffronesia. In Saffronesia, the fox practiced for a thousand years before daring to use her true name—"Before Miss Sixth could finish, Chad said, "Ayo Kato, right?"Miss Sixth smiled. "Yes, that's her, the greatest demon in Saffronesia!"Chad reasoned that since the Mystic Archive had formed, it could not simply disapp
"Master, I'm innocent! I've known the Williams family for decades and never done anything to harm them—"Meryl wanted to respond, but as Marshawn's grip tightened, her voice abruptly stopped.Marshawn grinned maliciously as he threw Meryl to the ground. "Seems like you've forgotten what I do?"Meryl looked at him, terrified, only to hear Marshawn say, "You had the doctors kill Luke, and you instigated Linda to murder Terry. I'm aware of all of this."Meryl looked at him with horror. "That's impossible! How did you know?"Marshawn's face darkened. "I know everything in Hacniane. I was the Special Bureau's first director, and my former subordinates are spread across Hacniane. Whatever I want to know, someone provides me with the most accurate information."That revelation terrified Meryl. She was fully aware of Marshawn's previous actions.She assumed Marshawn had grown old.Marshawn had struggled to manage the Williams family's finances, particularly in recent years. Terry handl
Jennifer initially did not believe it, but when the immortal crown appeared above Marshawn's head, she had to believe him."I was wrong! Please spare me. I'll leave the Williams family and never return to Hacniane for the rest of my life!"Jennifer was terrified, so she knelt in front of Marshawn.How could such a cunning old woman give up so easily?Marshawn was no fool, either. With a wave of his hand and a crackling sound, he sent Jennifer flying with a slap.Swoosh!Three short arrows popped out of Jennifer's back and flew onto the roof.The arrows were so powerful that they pierced the steel-reinforced concrete roof before disappearing into the sky."I've said everything I needed to say. I'll send you on your way!"Just as Marshawn was about to finish Jennifer off, a dark figure appeared and saved her.Then, a woman said, "You can't kill her, Grandpa!"Marshawn's face changed. "It's you, girl? Are you here for revenge?"However, the woman said, "I volunteered for the m
Marilyn refused to accept that fact because the person saying those words was Marshawn!Calling him Grandpa was simply a recognition of Marshawn's seniority, not an expression of respect.Marilyn calmed down. "Can I take Madam Jade's body with me?"Marshawn released his grip. "Certainly. It'll save me the trouble of dealing with it myself. The Tibetan mastiffs at home just ate."That statement would send shivers down one's spine, particularly Marilyn, who shuddered even harder.It was difficult to imagine how ruthless Marshawn could be. Could one trust his words?Marilyn asked one final question before lifting Jennifer's body and leaving."Why did you leave the Special Bureau back then?"Marshawn remained silent for a long time before saying, "I was getting old, and I didn't have that kind of energy anymore."Marilyn did not press further and turned to leave with the body after receiving a rather trite response.Who was Marshawn? A master of both disciplines, an earthbound im
