"You will die if you rely on him or have not met me. However, since you ran into me, we will see how much money you are willing to pay."Esther Wiles rubbed her hands as she spoke. Sonya Walt understood her immediately."Money is not a problem at all. You can have as much as you want, Dcotor, as long as—"However, while Sonya Walt spoke, the panic on her face vanished and was replaced by a sneer."You two are just trying to trick me. I almost fell into your trap. I am going to call the cops and have them arrest you right now."However, Esther and Chad were not afraid at all. Esther even said, "Call the police then. I haven't seen my son for a very long time now. He hasn't called me since he became the Chief of the Police Department two years ago."Chad smiled and said, "Aunty, Cousin Brother is busy at work."Esther was so angry that she stomped and said angrily, "What do you know? Your father was sentenced to life in prison because he insisted on acting justly."Chad could onl
"Snow, I am your aunt. Don't you remember me? I carried you when you were a child. You were very talented. You could meditate at the age of three. I have always wanted to take you as my disciple, but your father was unwilling to do that."Esther said excitedly as she held Marilyn's hand and looked at her. She was delighted.However, Chad said, "Meditation at the age of three? Aunty, are you sure she did not just fall asleep?""Can you please shut up? I haven't seen Snow in ten years. Snow, where have you been? Why didn't you contact your family? I miss you so much that my hair has turned gray."Marilyn looked at the white-haired female doctor. She did not know how to react.Chad replied lazily, "Don't listen to my aunt. Her hair has been gray for over 20 years.""You brat! Stop talking!"Esther was furious. She raised her hand and was about to hit Chad. However, Chad managed to dodge her.Marilyn took the opportunity to withdraw her hand and said respectfully, "Hello, Aunty, I
Chad and Esther were adamant that she was Snow.However, Chad and Esther did not argue further with Marilyn about that. Chad found reasons to change the subject of the conversation."Marilyn, didn't you want to learn about traditional Chinese medicine? My aunt is a doctor in this field. Why don't you learn from her?"Marilyn looked at Esther and asked weakly, "Is that true?"Chad nodded and said, "It's true. I have a patient. Let my aunt cure you."Marilyn looked at Esther with doubt as she asked weakly, "Is that alright?"She was terrified of Esther. Esther's touch to her bone was excruciatingly painful.Marilyn felt as if her head was about to swell from being pinched so tightly. Her head was still throbbing.Esther was overjoyed to learn that Marilyn wanted to learn from her."Snow wants to learn, and I am happy to help. Should we begin now?"However, Marilyn was still afraid of Esther. She looked at the sky and said, "It's too late. Let's do it some other day."Marilyn b
The handsome man in a suit sneered disdainfully, "What does it have to do to me that she's sick?"Sonya turned her head away, looking disgusted. She looked as if she did not want to see him. "Yes! Hansen, you are a dog. Why would a dog interfere in a human's affairs?"Hansen Kiere narrowed his eyes and hid his smile as he said coldly, "Yes, I am a dog. This dog was once your boyfriend, Sonya."When Chad and Esther overheard their heated exchanges, they knew exactly what was happening.Hansen continued sneering and said, "I'm curious about your sickness. Are you going to die soon? You dare come here to seek medical treatment? Aren't you afraid of being duped?"Sonya sneered and said coldly, "It is none of your business."Hansen smiled provocatively, looked at Chad, and gloated over her misfortune."That is right, I have no control over it. But I am glad to see them conning you for your money and body. And I think I made the smartest decision by ending our relationship a year ago
"Sonya, please give me another chance. I know I have made a mistake."Hansen lay on the ground, his arms around Sonya's legs, refusing to let go.He had no idea Sonya was the daughter of the country's most prominent legal family.He would never have broken up with Sonya if he had known sooner.Sonya turned her gaze to Hansen, who had lost all his teeth. She shook him off and returned to the store.Cecil was taken aback. She did not understand why Hansen acted the way he did."My dear, this woman doesn't deserve you. I am the one you love."Cecil attempted to lift Hansen, but he pushed her away."Go away! Who do you think you are? How can you compare yourself with Sonya?"Slap!"Hansen, you bastard!"Cecil, whom Hansen had nearly pushed down, slapped him and then walked away. She was angry and embarrassed.Hansen was still determined to stop Sonya. He immediately backed down when he saw Esther standing at the door."A man without dignity is not worthy of the Walt family's
Chad looked out the window and noticed the sky was getting dark. "Even though the skull protects the human brain, the brain can be squashed as long as the appropriate force of the blow is applied," he said as he gently closed the shop's door. "As a lawyer, I am sure you have dealt with similar situations—a person who simply slipped and died on the spot. The truth was that the brain had been squashed."A shiver ran down Sonya's spine. She suddenly realized she had just witnessed Hansen's brain being smashed and him going insane.She changed her gaze to Chad and Esther. She finally realized that her initial intuition was correct.She said fearfully, "No wonder my father always said we can mess with anyone but the doctor.""I will not harm others unless they harm me. That is our principle. Besides, let me reiterate—neither my aunt nor I are doctors."Sonya's interest was piqued when she heard Chad confirm that he was not a doctor."If you are not a doctor, how can you treat illnesse
Late at night, in the Hall of Herbs' backyard.Sonya's crying could be heard from the bedroom. "Chad, you bastard!"She wrapped her body in the quilt, her red, angry eyes fixed on Chad. She looked as if she wanted to kill someone.The floor was strewn with ripped clothing and used toilet paper.Chad stood shirtless to the side. He was sweating profusely but said nothing."Are you a man? How can I face anyone if this gets out?"Sonya's nose soured, and she cried when Chad did not say a single word.Chad then sat on the edge of the bed, which was unexpected. He said calmly as he lit a cigarette, "Hey, let's clarify things. You made it sound as if I did something to you.""What are you saying? You—"Sonya was not speaking clearly as she looked under the quilt and then at the blood-splattered toilet paper on the floor. She felt she was about to die."My aunt has crossed the line. This is nonsense." Chad complained as he started to get dressed. "I'll buy you some sanitary pads."
Danton stood in front of three lovely ladies. He patted his chubby stomach, smiled, and talked to himself."Cooperation? Since when have I agreed to cooperate with Bellenuite? I came to Bloomington to taste your beauty, Ms.Sachs."Danton Pulmano had a big belly, and when he laughed, it shook. He reached out and stroked Matilda's lovely face."I had no idea beautiful Ms. Sachs would be so generous. You not only came here by yourself, but you also brought two beautiful ladies with you."At that moment, the bodyguard beside him reminded him as he felt uneasy. "Mr. Pulmano, we are in Bloomington. Is this a good idea?"Danton sneered disdainfully. "What are you afraid of? Didn't you notice that I called Matilda's ex-husband just now? After everything is over, I will let him take the blame." He laughed.Danton reached out his hands toward Jojo. His face blushed with excitement; his breathing was rapid. He could not help but want to tear Jojo's clothes apart.Matilda's cell phone rang
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. We had a child later, and he was perfectly normal, but I never expected my grandson to..."As those people spoke, Zayan and Sir Holt were stunned! Those peopl
"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. Chad saw hundreds of children with autism there!Before entering the
