At the lobby of Bellenuite Tower in Bloomington.Chad brought lunch for his wife, Matilda Sachs. Dressed casually, he stuck out like a sore thumb in an opulent setting.Bellenuite Group was a cosmetic brand set up by Matilda, who was exactly Chad's wife. It was worth hundreds of millions of dollars."Hey, you're here! Sign this!"A lady stood in front of Chad, blocking his way. She had fine makeup on and a voluptuous body. Her cleavage turned many heads.It was Jojo Fonsey.She went to college with Chad and Matilda. Back then, she was Matilda's best friend and now, she became her secretary.Jojo looked at Chad with contempt as she flung an agreement to him.Chad was shocked and confused by her actions. He held the agreement in his hand. "What's this?"Slowly, the smile on Chad's face disappeared.It was a divorce agreement!Chad gazed at Jojo coldly and snarled, "Jojo! This is too much!"Jojo urged impatiently, "I'm not joking. Hurry up! Ms. Sachs is waiting for me!"Taken
Finally, Chad burst out in anger and snarled."Why? All these years, I've given her everything she wanted!""Now as she files for divorce, can't I see her even just once?""Hahaha!" Jojo laughed coldheartedly."Are you kidding me? You gave everything Ms. Sachs wanted? What else can you do besides delivering lunch?""I'll be honest with you. Justin Long of Bloomington just proposed to Ms. Sachs yesterday.""See for yourself. This is the video I recorded yesterday!"Chad froze as he stared deadly at the screen of the phone in front of him in rage.In the video, a charming man was proposing to Matilda on one knee. Matilda’s parents and younger brother were there too!Jojo looked at Chad, gloating, and rubbed salt in his wound."Mr. Long's grandfather is a minister in Kennington. The Long family has an extraordinary status.""The Long family has power and Ms. Sachs is loaded with wealth. They're a perfect match! Didn't you say you can give her everything?""Is your family background that g
After signing, Chad passed the divorce agreement, together with the bank card to Jojo and left.Taken by surprise, Jojo turned to Matilda. "He didn't want the card!""I know. Whatever floats his boat! I need to take care of something. You may leave now!"Matilda said with a straight as she pressed the window shut.Immediately after, tears rolled down her cheeks.After Matilda departed, Jojo dialed Matilda's house phone number.Logan Sachs, Matilda's father picked up the phone and Jojo recounted the divorce process."Ms. Sachs offered Chad 1.4 million dollars and a villa before he agreed to the divorce!""Really? That's fantastic!""Of course! Chad's no match for Ms. Sachs. After the divorce, Ms. Sachs will find someone better. Uncle Logan, I gotta go. Bye!"After hanging up, Logan was overjoyed and he shouted out loud."Celine, John, I have great news! Matilda and Chad are divorced!"Logan patted his lap out of joy and he felt like a weight lifted off his shoulders.After
Three years ago, Rustin Hart, a provincial governor, got into an accident as he was on his way to an event in Bloomington. He was in a critical condition.Rustin's eldest son, Tori Hart was introduced to Chad and he went to see Chad in person, pleading for him to save his father.The injuries sustained by Rustin were too severe and Chad only managed to keep him alive. Rustin needed a second treatment to recover.However, the second treatment could only be done three years later!That was why the person on the phone mentioned a promise made three years ago."Are you Tori Hart?" Chad asked doubtfully."It's me. Dr. Jennings, you remembered me. Now that three years have passed, I plea for you to treat my father, Dr. Jennings."Tori said sincerely and humbly.Tori became the head of the Hart household after his father, Rustin got injured. He also inherited his father's position as a provincial governor.Tori had all the power in the palm of his hand and there he was, humbly and
"Get out of my way, you loser!"John harshly pushed Chad away and barged in like a thug.Chad knew they despised him for a long time. They must be up to no good to show up at the villa right after he and Matilda got divorced!In the hall, Celine sat on the couch and said straightforwardly, "I heard you and Matilda are separated. We're taking this villa back. Get out of here before dawn!"Chad was fuming. He did not expect the Sachs to make him lose everything.John then smirked at Chad and reached out his hand, saying coldly, "Dear brother-in-law, this is my last time calling you that. Return the money now!"Chad was still consumed by his anger and he was confused. "Money? What money?"John's face changed and he pushed Chad."Are you f*cking kidding me? My sister gave you 1.4 million dollars! Return the money now or else I'll break your leg!"Chad was infuriated and suppressed his anger. He said calmly, "Don't touch me. I didn't take the money. If you want the money so bad, yo
Chad could be nice but it did not mean that he would never get angry.At that point, he was pushed to his limits and he was about to pay back!However, John responded with a contemptuous chuckle. "Before you can do that, I've already crippled you!"Then, he waved his fist toward Chad!Celine watched from the side and did not intend to stop John.To Celine, problems that could be solved using money would not be her concern.Even if John killed Chad, she knew she could solve the problem by paying someone off.However, John's fist did not hit Chad's face. Instead, Chad grabbed John by the wrist!With just one move, Chad grappled with John and successfully grabbed him.At that moment, John's arm was painful and in the blink of an eye, he was pressed to the ground.Celine was baffled and she did not know how to react.She was surprised that Chad who usually looked cowardly would be so agile when he fought.Chad then said coldly, "I've made myself very clear. Don't mess with me.
Hearing what his mother said, John became excited!'Mom's right! Justin Long is becoming my brother-in-law very soon.With the protection of the Long family, I, John Sachs of course will rule Bloomington!'John had the urge to kill Chad!Due to the injuries on John's arm, Celine had to drive.And Celine felt vengeful whenever she remembered how they were oppressed by Chad.She wished she could kill Chad and make him pay for the humiliation he inflicted on her!Suddenly, John had an idea and said wickedly, "Right! How about we tell Matilda about this?""That's a good idea. Let's tell her! Just follow as I say and I guarantee she'll get the money and the villa back!"Celine was reminded by John and she smirked. She thought of a great idea.John was the only son in the Sachs family. Since the beginning, Celine claimed that everything would belong to John.Matilda was Celine's daughter. So the money that she earned belonged to herself and also to John."You'll stay in the villa
The young ones finally understood why Tori reminded them to behave themselves before they came.Otherwise, they would have beaten Dr. Jennings up, mistaking him as arrogant.The younger generation of the Harts was in their prime and the number of assets under their names was jaw-dropping.They played a main role in different industries, ranging from business to politics. They were always adored by many.They could never bear to see the elder whom they respected the most acting so lowly toward a nobody!However, when Tori saw Chad, he noticed something different about him.Especially when he approached Chad, he felt like he was being embraced by Chad's aura.He became the successor to his father and was a provincial governor for three years. He had never seen any big shot with such dominance.In the car, Chad rested with his eyes shut. Tori did not dare say much and only gave orders to depart.Once again, the convoy hit the road, headed for the Hart Manor in Rivervale.Little
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
