That was the most shocking news! Everyone knew that Chad and Matilda had divorced. Yet, Matilda claimed they had not officially finalized their divorce, immediately thrusting Chad into the spotlight.Hansen looked at Chad with a questioning gaze. Youlee, equally shocked, demanded, "Is she telling the truth?"Chad felt embarrassed. "It seems so. After we signed the divorce papers, I didn't follow up on the other paperwork."Chad and Matilda were first-time divorcees and inexperienced. They thought signing the divorce papers were sufficient to finalize the divorce. Who knew they still needed to follow through with the paperwork?Slap!"You scoundrel! Stop playing dumb with me!" Youlee raised her hand to slap him, but Chad caught her wrist."Let go of Youlee, you jerk! Stay away from her!" Yecin saw an opportunity and rushed forward, trying to pull Youlee behind him. However, as soon as he touched Chad's arm, he was repelled by a tremendous force. Yecin, a martial supreme and a half
Chad was not particularly interested in antiques and calligraphy. Since childhood, he had accompanied his father to various elite families and understood that these items were primarily used as gifts.Without that attribute, antiques and calligraphy had little economic value, serving mainly for research purposes. The Long family's treasure appraisal event was more like a high-end market.Participants wandered in groups, admiring the antiques and calligraphy while engaging in conversations. They could move to the banquet area for further discussion if they hit it off.That day, the entire Long family was present, offering their younger generation an opportunity to build their networks."Why are you still interested in this? You should be thinking about when to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow!" Youlee tugged on Chad's arm, trailing behind him."Why the Civil Affairs Bureau?""To get married, of course.""I'm not going.""What do you mean, Chad?" Youlee released his arm, h
The elderly man, Samuel Webb, composed himself and then spoke to Chad with a heavy heart. "Snow's disappearance has been ten years. I hope you can move on and live your own life."Chad was taken aback, not understanding why his uncle would say such a thing. "Live my own life? How can I? I'm sorry, but I can't do that."Samuel's face darkened as he glanced at the Long family members nearby. They took the hint and left, with Michael even clearing the surrounding guests, leaving only Chad and Samuel."Chad, finding your sister is your parents' responsibility. You have your own life to live. Don't destroy your life over this.""My parents? Did they even try looking for her? Or did they not search for my sister at all?"Slap!As soon as Chad finished speaking, Samuel slapped him. That slap left Chad feeling heartbroken. "What's the matter with you? Your parents did everything they could to find your sister. You can't criticize them like this!"Chad bowed his head, not responding, ins
Chad's father was the eldest of the ten brothers, with Samuel as the second and Esther's husband as the third. They were all Mystic practitioners, ranked according to their years as Mystics. Chad's father, born into a Mystic family, had the longest tenure, hence his position as the eldest.After his initial outburst, Samuel tried to comfort Chad. "Chad, listen to me. It's just a divorce. There are plenty of women out there. You can marry someone else."Chad pushed his uncle's hand, replying coldly, "Are you trying to arrange my life again? Who do you want me to marry this time? Youlee, Nancy, Fifi, or..." Chad was at a loss for words, recalling a name that left him speechless.Finally, Chad stood up straight, facing Samuel, and declared loudly, "I will never marry again in this lifetime!"His voice was loud enough for the onlookers to hear. Among them was Youlee, whose expression darkened upon hearing his words. Chad was not someone who would submit easily; such scheming against hi
Chad yelled, "Get lost!"Then, the man released his grip, and Chad stumbled away. The man watched Chad leave with a cold smile."Brother, who was that rude guy?" A seductive woman squeezed into the man's arms, pouting.The man was Ronan Ward, and the woman was Sadie Horton. Both were shaman disciples of the Black Mosaic Group, which monopolized the agricultural market in the northeast.The Fox family backed their families—Rachdal's Ward family and Penrith's Horton family. They were attending the Long family's treasure appraisal event to research the Central Plains' agricultural market.Ronan watched Chad leave. "Don't worry, he won't get away."Sadie laughed. "Isn't he that Dr. Jennings?""I don't care who he is. Anyone who offends us must die, even if he's the grandson of a cabinet elder," Ronan said with a sinister smile.At that moment, a white fox peeked out from Ronan's collar. He petted the fox's head, "Third Sister, this guy has a lot of light energy. Want to absorb it?"
The only place with light was Chad's Hall of Herbs. As Chad walked onto Temple Road, the car following him continued to tail him. Without turning around, Chad headed toward the Hall of Herbs.When Chad reached the entrance, the car stopped in front of the Hall of Herbs. Samuel stepped out alone, and the driver drove off once he was out.Chad looked at him. "Why are you here?"With a somber expression, Samuel followed Chad into the Hall of Herbs. Seeing Chad with a guest, Willow wanted to make tea, but Chad waved her away.Samuel sat down and immediately noticed the Yggdrasil seed by the rock garden in the backyard. "I came to tell you something. Your third uncle has also fallen in battle."Chad's body stiffened as he remembered Esther, his aunt, mentioning that his third uncle had gone to find Chad's parents after arriving in Bloomington.It seemed that his third uncle had gone to the place beyond the sky. Given the recent upheavals there, his uncle's death was not surprising.C
Samuel spat out a mouthful of blood, horrified as he looked at Chad descending from the sky."Immortal Unity? How is this possible!"Bang!Chad did not waste any words, kicking Samuel's head into the ground. The sound of cracking bones echoed as Chad used his chiropractic methods, enhanced by the powerful force of Immortal Unity, to dislocate Samuel's skeleton.Finally, Chad grabbed Samuel by the hair and lifted him. Samuel, with his bones dislocated, hung limply in Chad's grip, coughing violently."Chad, you're impressive! You surprised me..." Samuel laughed."Tell me! Who's the mastermind?" Chad demanded fiercely, but Samuel, his face covered in blood, smirked disdainfully."Humans can't defeat the immortals. A wise man knows when to retreat. Why are you doing this?"Bang! Crack!Chad did not expect Samuel to try to persuade him to surrender. He punched Samuel in the abdomen, causing him to spew blood all over Chad's face."Tell me! Who else is behind this? Who's plotting a
An assassin's unique attack methods made it easy for Willow to cross boundaries and launch an ambush. Having successfully struck once, Willow did not linger, quickly carrying Chad away.However...Temple Road suddenly lit up with numerous intricate patterns, activating its formation."Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Samuel formed a hand seal and pointed at Chad and Willow, immobilizing them. Glowing silver lines crawled up Willow's body from the ground."Jasmine, catch him!" Willow, determined, covered herself in golden light and mustered all her strength to throw Chad into the Hall of Herbs. Jasmine barely managed to catch Chad, and they both fell to the ground."Hide! Don't worry about me!" Chad immediately instructed Jasmine to hide upon seeing her.However, Jasmine took out a small jade bottle and fed Chad a rebirth elixir. That was the elixir Chad had given her during their mission in Haron City to kill Marshawn, which she had not used.Swish!At the same time, Willow swun
