John took advantage of the situation and played the victim. "It's my fault for being incapable, for losing to him! Matilda, just you wait, I'll take revenge for you!"If Chad were to hear what Celine and John said, he would certainly call them out for twisting the truth.The truth was Celine and John were the ones who started a fight. Now they were accusing Chad of being at fault.The way Celine talked about Chad turning herself and John into victims!Looking at John being in a miserable state, Matilda felt extremely guilty. She then bowed to her parents."Dad, Mom, don't worry! I'll take care of things. Please don't bother with it anymore. I'll make Chad pay for what he did!"Matilda blamed herself. After all, all of that happened because of the divorce. She did not expect Chad to change drastically after the separation.She never thought Chad would be so greedy, complaining that 1.4 million dollars and a villa were too little!People used to say that Chad got together with her for he
"Chad Jennings, did you break my brother's arm?"Matilda tried to hold her anger back and asked.It became silent for a moment, and then Chad answered, "It was me."Chad admitted!He owned up to it directly and did not bother to explain.Matilda was on the verge of going berserk. "Chad, you motherf*cker. How could you be so heartless? He's my brother!"Chad answered lazily, "Hmm, I know. It was him whom I beat up!"Matilda was so furious she wanted to smash her phone but she held back."Just come at me! Why did you do that to my brother?"I left the villa for you because I was worried that you'd give up on yourself after the divorce."I hope you can start all over again and be a responsible man. But, you've just let me down!"Matilda vented all that was bottled up deep down.She gave up on Chad and thought she made the right decision to divorce him."Are you done talking?"Chad said lazily, sounding impatient."No! I regret giving you the villa. You don't deserve to stay
It was said that only some of Hart's assets were made known to the public.They also have control over one of the six financial groups in the country, Supreme Financial Group!"Well done. During this visit, let's target to bag 140 million dollars of investment!"…The car drifted on the highway, while Chad snored aloud in his sleep after talking to Matilda on the phone.Tori who was in the same car got excited. Chad answered the call using the loudspeaker on the phone. That was how Tori found out the news of Chad's divorce. He thought it was a golden opportunity!Tori then texted his daughter, Olivia Hart, wanting to matchmake her and Chad.Dr. Jennings' experience treating so many ministers was a key to networking.If Dr. Jennings joined the Hart family, they would have the entire country under their control.If Dr. Jennings married Tori's daughter, Olivia, the Hart family would then rise.'What was Matilda thinking? How could she divorce such a big shot like Dr. Jennings? How foolis
"Olivia, don't be rude!"Tori was caught off guard by his daughter's rudeness.Olivia was truly disappointed with Chad. She thought he looked too ordinary to be called handsome.The other family members of the Harts came to watch.Of the five Hart brothers, only Tori had a daughter, Olivia.Moreover, she was the youngest and so she became everyone's favorite.Pampered since the day she was born, Olivia was rather snobbish."Am I wrong? He looks so ordinary. How's he handsome?"Olivia insisted. Tori could no longer hold it in and snarled, "Dr. Jennings was the one who saved Grandpa's life. Apologize, now!""He's so young. How could he be some great doctor? Could he be a conman? I won't say sorry!"Olivia refused to apologize.Tori felt helpless and quickly apologized to Chad."Dr. Jennings, I'm so sorry. My daughter's been spoilt. Please don't mind her!"After that, he scolded Olivia, "Apologize to Dr. Jennings. Or else, you'll be grounded for a month!""Why should I? I'll
They glared at Chad, fuming.Tori grew more annoyed. He thought Terrence was embarrassing him as he doubted Chad.Suddenly, Benjamin said, "Whether or not he's a conman, I'll find out from Dr. Jennings now."Dr. Jennings, did you study Eastern or Western medicine? Did you learn from the northern or southern stream?"Without looking at Benjamin, Chad asked, "Are you testing me?"Benjamin chuckled and nodded. "Of course!""Is it? Too bad. You're not worthy to do that!"Benjamin became upset. He was the son of Dr. Sheldon Healy. No one ever dared to question him.Especially on his medical skills. He inherited most of his father's teachings.However, Dr. Jennings who was about his age dared to challenge him.Benjamin sneered. "Hahaha. It's my first time being called unworthy!"Chad glared at Benjamin and said lazily, "Not only you but also your father!"At that point, Benjamin became baffled and his blood was boiling."That's a big statement. Who do you think you are? How dare
"Is it? But you don't call the shots here!"Benjamin sneered and playfully said to Tori, "Uncle Tori, how can you hire someone so unethical? You're putting your family at risk!" "Benjamin Healy, it's all because of you that I ended up like this!"Sonny snarled as he pointed at Benjamin.Benjamin smirked. "My fault? I'm the son of Dr. Healy the Great. My medical skills are flawless! Back then, it was your mistake that caused the patient to die at the operation theater. How was it my fault?"The young ones agreed to Benjamin and nodded.At the same time, they also started to doubt Sonny. They thought Tori made a mistake by hiring a con man.Sonny was exasperated. His breath turned heavy as he glared at Benjamin."You're lying! I-"Quickly, Chad soothed Sonny's back and helped him relax.Tori was upset. He was taken aback by how Benjamin exposed Sonny. He comforted and said,"Dr. Walter, take it easy! We're here to treat my Dad. Let's continue after that!"Tori ignored Benjam
Sheldon was well-known in the medical profession. The Healys were a close match to the Hart family.However, Tori knew every dirty secret there was about the Healys.That was also one of the reasons why he did not want Olivia to marry Benjamin.Terrence deliberately took a different view. He thought marrying one of the Healys would benefit the Hart family.Terrence then said, "Tori, I think Olivia and Benjamin are a match made in heaven. I ship both of them."Tori was furious and gave him a mouthful,"Shut up, Terrence! Your opinion isn't needed here."Immediately, Terrence dared not utter a word.After all, Tori, the family's eldest son, could call the shots. Terrence had no choice but to obey him.Benjamin said to Tori, "Uncle Tori, if I healed Mr. Hart, please allow me to marry Olivia!"Before Tori could answer Benjamin, Chad uttered,"Just say yes to him. He won't be able to treat Mr. Hart anyway."At that point, the young ones looked at Chad with hatred.Benjamin was
"Do you have a death wish? How dare you call Uncle Tori by name!""Apologize to him immediately, if not I'll break your legs!"Instantly, the atmosphere was tense. A few of the young ones of the Hart family were about to beat Chad up.Tori suddenly turned back to look at them and barked, "Behave yourselves! Since Dr. Jennings has asked me to try, I'll do it!"The others could not believe their eyes! Their uncle was called by his full name, yet he did not get angry at all!fWas he the same Tori Hart that they knew? The powerful provincial governor of Rivervale?Terrence was the most shocked one. He never thought that Chad could be so arrogant to even disrespect his brother!What made everyone even more surprised was that after Tori followed Chad's instructions, he smiled."There's a pulse! My father's pulse is really on the back of his hand!"Chad was unfazed by it. He added lazily, "Feel the pulse. Is Mr. Hart's pulse three strong ones followed by a weak one?"Tori obeyed and
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
