Waves of golden wheat rolled past the car window as Chad stared at the scenery outside, speaking as if to himself, "You were one of those sent to the celestial realm, and you came back from the firmament, didn't you?"Dark Phoenix was stunned for a long time, unable to answer. She had not expected Chad to ask such a question.Seeing her silence, Chad continued, "When all of you went, each of you had a life-detection chip implanted in the back of your necks. How did you manage to remove them?"Dark Phoenix felt like she was going crazy, unable to understand how Chad knew that, but she still did not speak.Chad's next words shook her even more. "The first ones who tried to remove the chips all died. Even those who succeeded didn't live long. Even if someone had the cultivation level of an earthbound immortal, they couldn't withstand the backlash from removing the chip."Dark Phoenix shuddered and instinctively moved closer to the corner of the car.Chad, still looking out the windo
"Got it!" Weldon said as he turned off the engine, got out of the car, and padded to Chad's side. After whispering something, Chad shook his head and refused. "It's not right for me. I'm leaving!"Watching Chad depart, Weldon returned to the car and asked Dark Phoenix, "Where to? Should I take you to the Bellenuite Tower or..." His voice trailed off as he smiled mysteriously, glancing at Dark Phoenix through the rearview mirror."Do you know who I am? Why don't you tell him?" Dark Phoenix showed no surprise. "Some are blinded by the authorities, while others see clearly from the sidelines."Weldon grinned broadly. "How do you know Dr. Jennings didn't see through it? And how do you know he isn't pretending? You have your secrets, and so does Dr. Jennings. I won't reveal them just yet because it's not time to expose everything."Dark Phoenix opened the door, exited the car, and said, "I'm here. You can go now."Weldon lowered the car window, glanced at Dark Phoenix, and then departe
Chad never expected Evergrow to infiltrate a psychiatric hospital.The car quickly arrived at Bloomington Psychiatric Hospital, where Chad saw security personnel surrounding the perimeter. In the distance, he also noticed numerous special agents' vehicles parked inside the hospital, with many undercover agents busy at work.After Chad got out of the car, he walked straight toward the hospital gate, where a crowd had already gathered. Those were relatives of the patients, but instead of causing a commotion, they silently watched."I hope he dies, so we don't have to be burdened anymore!""It's been over a decade, and we've done all we could.""Having a lunatic in the family is nothing but trouble. If he dies, we'll be relieved!"Such remarks from the patients' relatives made Chad feel uneasy. He could not help but glance back at Matilda, realizing she was genuinely worried about her mother and brother.Chad also understood the sentiments of the patients' families—a mentally ill p
Esther said, "I'm fine. I'm meditating at the temple, thinking about your father!""That's good to hear. Take care of yourself."Faced with his mother's calm demeanor, Liam was momentarily at a loss for words. Just as he was about to hang up, Esther suddenly shouted."Son, wait!"When Esther called him son, Liam's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, what is it?"Esther calling him son was no small matter. She had once sworn that she would only call Liam son once he got married. Liam knew his mother was someone who kept her promises, so in all those years, she had not called him son once!So Esther's unusual behavior gave Liam an ominous feeling. When Esther said, "When you have time, visit Mount Mortzen—"Liam suddenly understood and asked, "Mom, is Dad back?"Silence.Liam waited for over a minute, but Esther did not say anything.Finally, unable to bear it, he asked, "Has something happened to Dad?"Then he heard Esther's voice, sobbing. That made Liam panic. His mother, Esther, w
Chad immediately thought that the Fox family had intervened.However, the situation at the psychiatric hospital was dire, and controlling those undead beasts and fiends was practically impossible."Get people to find a way to bring the Yggdrasil seeds here!" Chad ordered.Weldon immediately went to make arrangements. With the assistance of the foxes, the pressure on the undercover agents was alleviated somewhat, but the situation remained grim.Through his Clairvoyant Eye, Chad saw that the entire psychiatric hospital was shrouded in black mist. If left unchecked, it would inevitably spread throughout Bloomington.In such a scenario, the Yggdrasil seeds would surely grow uncontrollably, eventually becoming a towering world tree—a result sought after by those so-called celestial realm beings.Without dwelling on it further, Chad realized that the consequences would be unimaginable if events like the Evergrow outbreak repeated seven or eight times over the next three years.Roar!
Suddenly, cries for help echoed within the hospital. It turned out that the individuals who had recovered from being cleansed of Evergrow were trying to escape."Fox, yellow, white, willow, and gray correspond to fire, earth, metal, wood, and water. Therefore, the Fox family's guardian immortals specialize in countering Evergrow and are the quickest to transform people into fiends using Evergrow."Upon hearing that familiar voice, Chad abruptly turned around to see a handsome man with a sinister smile appearing behind him. It was Third Grandpa Fox, and he had transformed into a fiend!Chad respectfully bowed. "Many thanks, senior, for your assistance!"Third Grandpa Fox waved his hand dismissively. "This time, allowing many descendants from the guardian immortal lineage to transform into fiends is also an opportunity for us. There's no need for thanks."At that moment, Weldon rushed over, looking distressed. "It's not good! The tree has grown too tall and has already taken root. W
"Chad, get us out of here, or I'll make my sister divorce you!"John's words caught Chad off guard. Before he could react, Celine shouted, "Yes, hurry and get us out of here, or I'll make Matilda divorce you. My daughter is the CEO of Bellenuite—"Chad listened to Celine's words, lost in thought.Clearly, the mother and son must have lost their memories; it seemed that being infected with Evergrow impacted their memories. However, Chad was not in the mood to argue with them.Instead, he took out his phone, captured their yelling faces, and sent the video to Matilda. Then, Chad turned and walked away.Seeing Chad about to leave, Celine chased after him, shouting like mad, "Chad, are you tired of living with Matilda and want a divorce? Hurry up and get us out of here!"However, two special agents intercepted her before she could catch up with Chad. "Just you wait! I'll make sure Matilda divorces you!" The two special agents restrained her and dragged her back to the ward.Then, th
Jojo looked at the empty office and murmured softly, "Ten years ago, the Jennings family abandoned him. He was extremely talented and outstanding. This Jennings family is really interesting.""Jojo, you're here!"Suddenly, a pair of hands embraced Jojo from behind, and the owner of those hands was Stanley."Marry me, okay? I may not give you the wedding you want, but I can give you the Bellenuite Group!"Jojo smiled sweetly, turned around, and held Stanley's face, saying, "Okay, I promise you, but..."After Stanley listened to Jojo's request, he hesitated but still said, "Okay, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you no matter how much it costs!"Jojo smiled, but her thoughts were, 'Wait a little longer! When you're no longer useful, I'll drain you dry!'At the same time, in another elegant office.Marilyn was very annoyed. The result of her previous meeting with Chad as Dark Phoenix had made her furious!She was talking to the head of the Zenith Organization on the phone. "I k
