"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
"Didn't we agree back in Haron City that you'd pretend to be pregnant and say the child is mine?" Chad asked.Youlee leaned close to Chad's ear and whispered, "I just discovered that Adon is very skilled in medicine. I could fool those two, but not Adon!"Chad glanced at Adon and muttered, "What a hassle!" Then he pressed Youlee's waist twice. "Done!""What's done?" Youlee asked, puzzled.Chad smiled mysteriously. "Didn't you want to be pregnant?"Youlee touched her lower back and was stunned. "Am I pregnant now?""As long as no pregnancy tests are done and it's based on traditional diagnostics, you're indeed pregnant!" Chad explained, leaving Youlee bewildered.However, in the next moment..."Chad! You bastard! You said you'd marry into my family, and now that I'm pregnant, you're not owning up to it?" Youlee suddenly erupted in anger, raising her hand and slapping Chad.Chad wanted to dodge, but he wanted to cooperate with her, so he endured the slap.Smack!Youlee expecte
"No matter if it's a normal marriage or marrying into a woman's family, it's all for the sake of alliance. I'm willing to marry into her family and don't care whose child it is. Youlee can keep the baby!" Yecin's words immediately drew the attention of everyone present.In recent years, the Wright family's influence had been declining, especially after the death of their legendary God of War. Their situation had worsened year by year.Therefore, the Wright family desperately sought an alliance with a powerful family and had to lower their standards significantly. They were so eager that even if Youlee were pregnant out of wedlock or had two children from a previous marriage, Yecin would not refuse her.Mateo stepped forward and said, "By observing her energy and spirit, I can tell Youlee isn't pregnant. She's just joking with us!"Energy and spirit! That was a method of the Eeitists, who were rumored to have a unique cultivation method called Divine Martial Cultivation. It was said
