"Tyler, I haven't settled the score with you from last time! And now you've broken my brother's arm? I must teach you a lesson today!"Tyler, a former soldier and part of Micah's crew, was unafraid of those people."You won't be arrogant for much longer. After tonight, you'll all be prisoners!"That caused an uproar of laughter—so loud it made people dazed!Grace covered her ears, trembling, afraid to look at those people.A few months ago, Grace was targeted by Naveed, who harassed her frequently.Naveed knew her whereabouts immediately, even when she went to buy supplies elsewhere.Grace then realized that Naveed was monitoring her every move to get her.Unable to leave Jeems County on her own, she pretended to be ill and asked Braum to get her.Grace had not expected Braum to arrive alone, only with a driver and a subordinate.After Chad was taken away by someone from Micah's men, Grace told Braum the truth.She begged Braum to take her away from Jeems County as quickly a
"Hey, this is the operating room! You can't go in! Hey—" The doctor at the door was pushed against the wall as Chad barged in.Although Chad held back a little, his genuine anger caused the doctor to nearly pass out from the impact.Chad was taken aback by what he saw inside the operating room.Braum, a man in his 50s, had been beaten so severely that his face was unrecognizable.If Chad were unfamiliar with him, he would hardly recognize that the man before him was Braum. Braum's limbs were all broken, and one hand was so shattered that the bones were visible."Bastards! They deserve to die!"Chad's powerful aura terrified the doctors, leaving them unable to move.Chad ignored them and immediately started setting Braum's bones. After finishing, he drew a rebirth elixir and administered it to Braum."Braum, you must survive! If you make it, I'll teach you how to cultivate!"Chad and Braum had developed an unlikely friendship. They met one year after Chad's sister was kidnapp
"What?!"Grace was stunned and went crazy, rushing to the operating room.Whoosh!As soon as she opened the door, a strong gust of wind blew her backward.Fortunately, Tyler was quick enough to catch Grace.Everyone in the operating room was taken aback by what they saw!A two-meter-tall creature covered in black scales stood beside the operating table, its claw resting on Braum's head.Even Nicholas, who was restrained by the locking technique, jumped up and backed away in shock.The creature turned to face the door, and with a loud bang, a gust of wind slammed the door shut.The moment the door closed, the atmosphere outside became frozen, and Tyler could not help but rub his eyes.Grace saw it clearly, so it had the most impact on her. The creature's face was unmistakably Chad's.What kind of person was Braum's friend?Just then, Nicholas' phone rang. He was taken aback after answering it.The call came from their master, informing him that the Henry Group was being inv
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone's minds went blank.Jeems County did not have a Proud One chain store, not because the county could not afford it, but rather because many people had sought to franchise it and were turned down.In fact, Nicholas had personally visited Proud One's headquarters but still could not secure a deal.Nicholas was bewildered. He had only heard that Grace had an old man named Gael by her side, but he had no idea that the man was Braum, the founder of Proud One.Grace was also stunned. She followed Braum not because of his wealth but because he had a way with women and treated Grace with great respect.As time went by, Grace and Braum developed a relationship.Braum was very upfront about being a married man and that it was impossible for him to marry her, asking Grace to think carefully about whether it was worth it.After careful consideration, Grace decided to stay with Braum.She thought that, at the very least, Braum had many good connec
Micah pointed at Chad and smiled mysteriously. "Come on, kid, spill it! I've heard a few things about you..."Chad looked at Tyler, realizing what Micah wanted to know."Since you already know something, I won't hide it. I..."Chad then shared his experiences. Micah became deeply reflective after listening.After a long time, Micah suddenly said, "Kid, have you noticed how the number of earthbound immortals has increased significantly in the last two years?"That was exactly what Chad needed to hear. Indeed, the number of earthbound immortals had recently increased.Furthermore, most of those earthbound immortals had appeared within the last two or three years."I've noticed, and I'm puzzled. Why have so many earthbound immortals emerged?"Micah smiled and asked, "Don't you get it? As I previously stated, a new era is on its way while the old one is coming to an end."Chad was unsure how the sudden increase in earthbound immortals was related to that.Micah smiled as he took
Chad was stunned; it appeared Micah was indeed going to the realm above the skies.After finishing a cup of tea, Chad asked, "Is the situation up there very dire?"Micah grinned. "Not exactly, just some troublemakers."Chad was startled. "Troublemakers?""Yes," Micah said lightly. "Evergrow is valuable, and some people want it."Chad clenched his fists. The situation appeared to be dire and under siege from all sides!Nancy walked downstairs, carrying a small suitcase."Grandpa, I'm ready.""Alright. You'll go with him and live at his place until I return to get you.""Okay! Grandpa, be careful!"Chad was taken aback. "Live at my place?"Micah nodded and smiled. "Yes! I'm leaving, and no one will be home. Nancy's parents are gone; being alone is too dangerous for her. I considered sending her to the Hart family, but you know them, and I don't trust them."Chad could see Micah's helplessness. That elderly man was once the God of War and later became an elder in the Cabinet,
Redd became dejected when he saw Chad's serious expression.Chad consoled Redd briefly before closing the shop and retiring to rest. He was exhausted from his efforts to impart knowledge to Braum and needed some rest.Redd could not leave that night and was assigned to the guest room in Chad's apartment.Chad slept soundly through the night and did not wake up until the following afternoon.When he arrived at the shop, he discovered Nancy chatting happily with Redd. To impress Nancy, Redd even pulled out a classic Patek Philippe women's watch that he had kept for years."This watch is not a gift from me; rather, it has chosen you. Take it," Redd said, resting his head on his hands and gazing dreamily at Nancy.Nancy looked grateful. She said, "Really? I appreciate it. In that case, I won't be wearing this one anymore."She removed another watch from her wrist and prepared to put on the one that Redd had given her.Redd was stunned when he saw Nancy's watch."This is a Chopard
Chad stood still in front of an ancient painting, lost in thought. Suddenly, an arrogant voice broke the silence. "This is the Blue Jasmine Pavilion, a work by Gardner Hanson from the ancient empires. It was auctioned for nearly 23 million dollars about two years ago."Chad turned to see a dapper young man with gold-rimmed glasses approaching them with a smile."Youlee, where have you been these days? I waited for you at Mount Zor for so long, and now I find you here," the young man said.Youlee glanced at him dismissively, clearly uninterested. "Adon Heartweld, you came at the right time. You must've heard what I said earlier. There's no way we can be together!"Adon adjusted his glasses and smiled. "But he doesn't want to marry into your family, whereas I can.""Stop right there!" Youlee sneered. "You aren't even worthy of marrying into my family."Chad withdrew his gaze from the painting and looked at Adon. He muttered to himself, noting the increasing prevalence of earthbound
