"Get out of my way, you loser!"

John harshly pushed Chad away and barged in like a thug.

Chad knew they despised him for a long time. They must be up to no good to show up at the villa right after he and Matilda got divorced!

In the hall, Celine sat on the couch and said straightforwardly, "I heard you and Matilda are separated. We're taking this villa back. Get out of here before dawn!"

Chad was fuming. He did not expect the Sachs to make him lose everything.

John then smirked at Chad and reached out his hand, saying coldly, "Dear brother-in-law, this is my last time calling you that. Return the money now!"

Chad was still consumed by his anger and he was confused. "Money? What money?"

John's face changed and he pushed Chad.

"Are you f*cking kidding me? My sister gave you 1.4 million dollars! Return the money now or else I'll break your leg!"

Chad was infuriated and suppressed his anger. He said calmly, "Don't touch me. I didn't take the money. If you want the money so bad, you can ask Matilda for it!"

"You didn't take it?" John did not believe Chad and snarled, "Do you think I'm stupid? We're talking about 1.4 million dollars. How could you resist it?"

Celine joined in and said, "Give us the money now, or else don't blame us for what we're gonna do to you. You and Matilda were once husband and wife. I too want this to end on a good note. But, if you don't return the money, things will turn ugly!"

Chad glared at Celine and John coldly and gritted his teeth as he said, "I said I didn't take it. This is my last warning. Don't mess with me!"

Splash!

An outburst of rage caused John to smash a glass on the ground. He yelled, "I'm here to mess with you. What are you going to do to me? You wanna hit me?

"I suggest you to do as we say. Give us the money!"

Chad was on the verge of exploding when he saw John acting arrogantly.

Following the divorce, the assets that Chad rightfully deserved to get were more than just 1.4 million dollars and the villa.

Chad did not want to pursue the matter and signed the divorce agreement.

Even if he took the money and the villa, Chad was still at a loss!

However, Celine and John had the cheeks to take back everything. It was ridiculous of them!

Celine could no longer endure Chad's stubbornness and growled, "You're asking for trouble! Give us the money, now!

"It's been three years since the two of you have gotten married and you've never earned a penny. Now that you two are getting a divorce and you're getting 1.4 million dollars? What the h*ll are you thinking?

"If it were up to me, you should compensate Matilda with a huge sum and lose everything!

"You shameless piece of sh*t. How dare you take the money!"

Celine words exhausted even the last bit of patience Chad had for the Sachs.

He looked at Celine and John with a cold gaze and said coldly, "Matilda intended to give me the money and the villa. Even if I were to return the money, I'd return it to her. Not the two of you!

Go ahead and call Matilda. If she agrees for the money to be given to the both of you, I will!"

Immediately, Celine and John panicked.

They knew that if Matilda were to find out about it, they would not get either the money or the villa.

"F*ck you! How dare you mention my sister! You're not worthy!"

John then pushed Chad outside the villa and flung his luggage into the yard.

Things in the luggage poured out onto the ground.

Celine shouted angrily, "I'll kill you if you don't give us the money!"

"That's right. Your life or the money. Choose one!" said John as he grabbed Chad by the collar of his shirt and laughed wickedly.

Calmly, Chad looked down at his shirt and said coldly, "Let me go. Or else, I'll cripple you!"

    Chad could be nice but it did not mean that he would never get angry.At that point, he was pushed to his limits and he was about to pay back!However, John responded with a contemptuous chuckle. "Before you can do that, I've already crippled you!"Then, he waved his fist toward Chad!Celine watched from the side and did not intend to stop John.To Celine, problems that could be solved using money would not be her concern.Even if John killed Chad, she knew she could solve the problem by paying someone off.However, John's fist did not hit Chad's face. Instead, Chad grabbed John by the wrist!With just one move, Chad grappled with John and successfully grabbed him.At that moment, John's arm was painful and in the blink of an eye, he was pressed to the ground.Celine was baffled and she did not know how to react.She was surprised that Chad who usually looked cowardly would be so agile when he fought.Chad then said coldly, "I've made myself very clear.

She thought of a great idea.John was the only son in the Sachs family. Since the beginning, Celine claimed that everything would belong to John.Matilda was Celine's daughter.

    John took advantage of the situation and played the victim. "It's my fault for being incapable, for losing to him! Matilda, just you wait, I'll take revenge for you!"If Chad were to hear what Celine and John said, he would certainly call them out for twisting the truth.The truth was Celine and John were the ones who started a fight. Now they were accusing Chad of being at fault.The way Celine talked about Chad turning herself and John into victims!Looking at John being in a miserable state, Matilda felt extremely guilty.

    "Chad Jennings, did you break my brother's arm?"Matilda tried to hold her anger back and asked.It became silent for a moment, and then Chad answered, "It was me."Chad admitted!He owned up to it directly and did not bother to explain.Matilda was on the verge of going berserk. "Chad, you motherf*cker. How could you be so heartless? He's my brother!"Chad answered lazily, "Hmm, I know. It was him whom I beat up!"Matilda was so furious she wanted to smash her phone but she held back."Just come at me! Why did you do that to my brother?"I left the villa for you because I was worried that you'd give up on yourself after the divorce."I hope you can start all over again and be a responsible man. But, you've just let me down!"Matilda vented all that was bottled up deep down.She gave up on Chad and thought she made the right decision to divorce him."Are you done talking?"Chad said lazily, sounding impatient."No!

    "Olivia, don't be rude!"Tori was caught off guard by his daughter's rudeness.Olivia was truly disappointed with Chad.

    They glared at Chad, fuming.Tori grew more annoyed. He thought Terrence was embarrassing him as he doubted Chad.Suddenly, Benjamin said, "Whether or not he's a conman, I'll find out from Dr. Jennings now."Dr. Jennings, did you study Eastern or Western medicine? Did you learn from the northern or southern stream?"Without looking at Benjamin, Chad asked, "Are you testing me?"Benjamin chuckled and nodded. "Of course!""Is it? Too bad. You're not worthy to do that!"Benjamin became upset. He was the son of Dr. Sheldon Healy. No one ever dared to question him.Especially on his medical skills. He inherited most of his father's teachings.However, Dr. Jennings who was about his age dared to challenge him.Benjamin sneered. "Hahaha. It's my first time being called unworthy!"Chad glared at Benjamin and said lazily, "Not only you but also your father!"At that point, Benjamin became baffled and his blood was boiling."That's a big statement.

    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.

    "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.
