Urias looked hesitant. “True, but he’s a smasher after all…”Cayden asked, “So what if he’s a smasher? He’s the one with a favor to ask from Mr. Yarde right now, not the other way round!“Even if we don’t mind, can we turn a blind eye as well when he mocks Mr. Yarde?”Urias thought about it and found what Cayden said to be right, so he looked at Kayson. “Dr. Yarde, what do you think we should do?”“You guys decide. The only reason I’m here today is that I’ve promised you,” replied Kayson.That was all it took for Urias to understand what Kayson meant. The latter was showing him support. He wanted him to be able to stand tall and proud in front of Leon!Urias was filled with gratitude and told the female staff member, “Let him come up on his own.”The female staff member sounded anxious. “But he came crawling, like both his legs were broken…”Urias and Cayden were shocked. What Kayson had said came true, and it seemed serious!“It’s fine. Just tell him as it is.”Urias waved a
A little over an hour later, Kayson came back with a green medicinal ball that seemed to be made out of various herbs being mashed together.“I’m going to treat you with acupuncture. Remove your top.”Leon dared not not listen to him, ripping off his top with Urias’ help, and Kayson pushed a needle in. Kayson’s lightning energy rushed in, charging for Leon’s lower abdomen.Leon looked horrified, but he had no strength to stop what was happening and coughed out a large mouthful of blood. At the same time, a ball of flesh about the size of a fingernail rolled off and around the floor with the blood.With what Leon had spat, he looked much better almost instantly and felt like he was himself as well. He asked in fright, “What’s this!?”Kayson did not answer but passed him the medicinal ball. “Take this herbal pill, and your tendons will be fine.”Leon glanced at the pill in Kayson’s hand, finding it haphazardly made no matter how he looked at it. It was as if Kaysom had pulverized t
Kayson nodded. When Urias took him to see Leon, he had already understood what had happened.Leon was appalled as he asked, “What does the smasher Core do?”Kayson explained, “The practice of a smasher who consumes it will be enhanced substantially, but the effect isn’t the best.“If a pre-celestial fighter takes it, they can achieve a breakthrough to the smasher level.”Leon’s eyes bulged, seemingly taken aback, as he growled, “That scum! I’ve been good to him, and this is what he does to me!”The thought of it made him more grateful toward Kayson and Urias. At the same time, he felt ashamed for how he had treated them.Kayson reminded him, “If your disciple wants to become a smasher by sacrificing you, the injuries you sustained a few years ago might not be an accident.“Of course, this is your private affair, and I’m just bringing it up in passing. Consider it on your own.”Leon’s gaze was reverent. “I’ll remember your reminder and be more careful, Dr. Yarde.”At that momen
Cayden was overjoyed. “Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Yarde!”He was overwhelmed with emotions. He had already lost hope because he had asked all the doctors he could, and there was really nobody else. If he wanted someone better, it would be doctors in Metrocity, and there was nothing he had to be able to commission them.He did not even have the money to pay them. If regular doctors could work, Soulspring Pharmaceutical would not need subordinates like them doing the job.Cayden’s father was a doctor and had been in the pharmaceutical industry. He had taught Cayden since the latter was a young boy that he ought to have his own judgment scale no matter what he did in the future. One end of the scale was to be his conscience, and another end was profit. If the profit end tipped lower than the conscience end, the business was not a deal.That was why Cayden made average money since he entered the workforce. He did not make it big in wealth, but he made enough.Kayson now understood
“I don’t know if the Skyspring Wolfendens will still target me, but you can fight, so stay here with me. The second room on the right upstairs is yours.”This place was not too far from Noella’s place, and Kayson found the arrangement alright, so he did not say much.Sadie took her suitcase and told him, “I’ll wash up and take you out to shop for clothes.”‘Take me?’ Kayson looked bewildered, but Sadie did not say more. She went upstairs to take a shower, leaving Kayson to wait downstairs.A little over ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.Kayson opened the door to see that it was Chelsea, Sadie’s secretary, when she was in Clouspring. The latter froze when she saw Kayson, her jaw dropping to form an “O” with her mouth, and looked utterly surprised.Kayson knew that sh*t had hit the ceiling upon taking in the situation.Both of them stared at each other—Kayson stayed silent while Chelsea was stupefied.It was still Kayson who broke the silence afterward. “Ms. Hayes, come in an
Guests bustled in the hall of the dinner event.Wolfenden Corp. was not exactly famous. Its fame was only prominent locally. Of course, it took Skyriv by surprise previously when it rose up the rank by acquiring the Gillete Group. In addition to Apex Investment Partners’ support, Wolfenden Corp. had actually made itself known to many Skyriv businesses and entrepreneurs within a short period.Even then, Wolfenden Corp. did not enter the market of Skyspring formally. Dickinson International was going to be an opportunity.Wolfenden Corp. was not famous enough, but Sadie was gorgeous. She was at least one of the top three among all the women present tonight.Those who were able to attend this event were businessmen worth over billions of dollars, bringing along their rich, graceful wives, beautiful girlfriends, or youthful mistresses. No matter how striking their partners were, though, they could never compare to Sadie with her light makeup.Once she entered, she attracted a lot of a
“You’re still as annoying,” Sadie commented with a straight face and planned to ignore her and take Kayson elsewhere.Yolanda mocked her upon seeing she was leaving, “Feeling insecure, Sadie? Answer me if you have the guts!“You wouldn’t dare, would you? I think you snuck yourself in! The general manager of Wolfenden Corp. snuck into the high society’s event without an invitation…“Say, if this were to be the headline tomorrow, wouldn’t it be interesting?“Our old friends would laugh their ass off if they learned you did something so embarrassing. Gosh, I cringe just thinking about it!”Sadie turned around with an icy gaze. “Are you trying to accuse me?”“So what if I am?” Yolanda retorted proudly. “My boyfriend’s company runs social media accounts and manages many influencers!“As long as I make a request, the accounts will publish what I want them to by tomorrow. Just a word from me, and I’ll ruin you.”Sadie kept a straight face, but it was undeniable that she was beginning
Juneau was startled, not understanding what Kayson meant. While Yolanda was also confused, she knew that it was not something good. She pointed at Kayson and huffed. “You’re just an employee under Sadie. This isn’t your place to speak!“There are so many high-profile individuals here, yet someone like you managed to sneak in. Infuriating!“Sadie Wolfenden, don’t drag us down just because you don’t mind lowering your status!”Juneau scowled as well. “Any Tom, Dick, and Harry think they can just waltz in! And to boast at me. You say I’m going to be doomed. I’d like to know how that’s going to work.”“Me too.”It was then a tall young man, about 1.8 meters in height, walked over with a sexy woman. He wore a scoff as he glanced at Sadie before taunting, “Sadie Wolfenden, it’s been a while. Didn’t expect you to be so shameless.“Do you know who’s hosting this dinner tonight? The richest man in Skyriv, Royce Shore!“If he learns of what happened tonight, I’m certain Wolfenden Corp. wi
