This was proof that alternative medicine was broad and deep.It had been passed down from generations and withstood the test of time. It had its meaning, and there was value in its existence."Dwayne, have you seen this technique before?" Kevin asked.Dwayne shook his head. "No, but I'm certain that it's a lost technique."Woody placed the last needle and said, "This is the Miracle Elixir Needle Technique. It is used specifically for terminal illnesses."Dwayne thanked him and said, "Thank you for clearing that up, Mr. Henderson." He had already memorized the name of the technique, ready to look through his medical books and hoping to find relevant information on it.After ten minutes, Cassandra's face suddenly turned black, and a black vapor rose from her skin.Kevin and Dwayne had never seen a phenomenon like this, let alone Marie.However, as time went by, the color of Cassandra's skin started to turn back to normal. And although she still looked slightly pallid, she looked
Marie and Cassandra were on cloud nine!Even Kevin and Dwayne were over the moon!Sickness was a man's worst fear, especially for someone from an average background like Cassandra. After all, a mere single illness could destroy an entire family.Some people had to sell their houses and cars and borrow money from everywhere. Some had to go to loan sharks too.What's more, there was no guarantee that someone would heal from their illness.Most patients ended up losing their lives after emptying their bank accounts. And eventually, they would lose everything.The deceased would suffer so much pain while they were alive, and the person left behind would need to bear the debts.But now, Cassandra was completely healed. Plus, she had been informed that she wouldn't suffer from the same illness again! She didn't need to worry about any exorbitant medical fees or burdening her daughter for the rest of her life.Meanwhile, Marie didn't need to worry about her mother's health or worry
Marie had decided on her own to allow her mother to work as a cleaner in the Lake Kaspy community. However, she wouldn't allow her to be employed by Woody.She could take some time to help out in Villa No. 1, but she didn't want to get any money in return.…In the president's office at Helenova Ventures, Helen was wearing a sexy pencil skirt that accentuated her perfect hourglass figure. Her slender legs were also covered in black stockings, and she looked charming in her black patent leather heels.With her exquisite features and elegant demeanor, Helen was every man's dream. She was a hoot!"Ms. Cartwright, Ms. York from York Corporation is here," Jessie said.Helen raised her head with a complicated expression. She said, "Ms. York is getting way too comfortable!"If it weren't for Woody, Helen wouldn't even bat an eye at York Corporation! After all, there were many other more exceptional potential partners than York Corporation in experience, financial ability, and ability.
Helen calmly picked up the document.If Pamela wasn't Woody's ex-wife, Helen wouldn't have even batted an eye at what she'd brought.Helen had never gone easy on people who had never followed through with their agreements. She could easily make Pamela go bankrupt if she decided to sue her. What's more, Pamela breached the contract first. Yet, instead of thinking of ways to redeem herself, she chose to play games with Helen instead. Pamela was asking for it!Helen was interested to see what tricks she had up her sleeves.However, Helen soon frowned, and a glimmer of shock appeared in her eyes.As Pamela observed this, she could finally feel her heart finally falling back into place. She secretly sighed in relief.She'd risked the right move!Helenova Ventures was a beauty brand independent from the Cartwright Group, and it occupied a large amount of market share in the country.The company had a fighting chance even if it expanded abroad. It was reputable in its own right.
Helen remained unfazed, and no one could tell what she was feeling or thinking.Meanwhile, Pamela remained calm as she patiently waited for Helen's response.Right now, Helen was at a disadvantage.She tried her best to maintain her composure to control the pace of the situation.However, Pamela was more experienced than she'd thought."Helenova Ventures will supply 30 million for research and development, but we want 50% of the shares." Helen named her price.This was more generous than what she was willing to offer for other partnerships.The product was already in the later stages of development. Hence, investing the money now was more to buy the shares rather than actually investing in research and development of the product.A formula could be worth millions or even billions. But at the end of the day, it was all merely a bunch of numbers. Only through a strong brand presence, promotions, marketing, and other factors could these numbers turn into actual profit. There w
Helen was a determined person who never did things sloppily. Then and there, she had Jessie draft an agreement.After that, Helen and Pamela signed the agreement, and the deal was sealed."I will transfer 30 million dollars to your company's account by the end of today." Helen perked her eyebrow slightly and said, "But I hope that what happened before this doesn't happen again. "It will affect the partnership and the trust I have in your company."Pamela quickly reassured her and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Cartwright. I will do what it takes to fulfill the contract. I will also compensate your company based on industrial standards for the delay we've caused."Helen hoped that Pamela would keep her word. And if Pamela dared to go back on her word again, Helen would never let York Corporation off the hook, even if it were for Woody's sake.After all, the Cartwrights could make a company go bankrupt in a matter of seconds."Talk is useless. Let me show you what I'm capable of, Ms. Ca
Helen replied, "Nothing! But you're right to have pointed it out. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. "Send some people to watch over our competitors and the patent office. If we find any signs of infringement, we will immediately withdraw from the contract and file a lawsuit against York Corporation to ask for compensation."This had already been clearly stated in the agreement.…A black Mercedes-Benz was parked at the entrance of the York residence. When Pamela got home, she heard some people happily laughing and wondered what was going on. Why were her parents so happy? Their family had just lost a lot of money, so they shouldn't be so joyful.Feeling a little apprehensive, Pamela opened the door."You're back, Pam. Look who's here," Trudy excitedly and eagerly shouted before Pamela could even change her shoes. Just then, Pamela saw a dashing young man sitting on the couch. He looked like he was in his late 20s and was wearing a suit. He also had on a pair
So, it turned out that this was why Trudy and the others were so excited—they were about to get back the money that they'd lost.However, Pamela wasn't as excited as them.After all, the agreement she'd signed with Helenova Ventures was in her bag, and she was about to receive 30 million dollars in her account. Her troubles were over.If she could turn back the clock to before she'd risked everything to meet Helen, she would have been equally as ecstatic as her family if she received this piece of news from Jeremiah.However, she wasn't as excited as she should be after meeting Helen.But nonetheless, getting the money back was still a happy thing."Really?" Pamela's eyes brightened.Trudy seriously answered, "Yes. Jeremiah's really done good work this time. He's a lifesaver.""Exactly. We'd thought that we would never see the money again. You're such a lifesaver, Jeremiah!" Dickson was equally excited.Meanwhile, Brutus was thinking about using the money to buy a sports car
Solomon didn't dare to resist and could only comply.By the time everyone arrived at the back of the mountain, the sky was already starting to lighten.Directly ahead lied a deep canyon with steep cliffs.Woody tied one end of the rope to the bridge pillar, slung the coil of rope over his shoulder, and nodded to the people around him."Is there something wrong?" Woody asked the battered elder.The elder quickly responded, "No problem!"Woody pushed off with one foot, launching himself into the air toward the other side of the cliff.While Woody was halfway through the flight, his body began to plummet downward.From this angle, he didn't stand a chance of making it across.At that moment, a giant eagle swooped in from the side.The elder stood at the edge of the cliff and blew the eagle whistle.The giant eagle spread its wings, and with Woody stepping onto its back, they instantly shifted from falling to ascending.In the next moment, he landed steadily at the edge of the
Woody's bold statements echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Union Headquarters.In the past, if anyone dared to speak to their union president like that, Solomon wouldn't even need to say anything–the followers alone would leave the person questioning their life choices!In front of the Headquarters, how could he be allowed to speak recklessly?The current situation was that Woody not only said something, but also tore down their gate and injured dozens of their people.Of course, this number wasn't set in stone.If anyone else dared to step up, Woody certainly wouldn't hold back and was more than willing to help the Martial Arts Union continue increasing the number of casualties."You... have quite the attitude!"Solomon, being the union president of the alliance, held a certain standing and position, so it was unlikely for him to just back down easily.In reality, he had been feeling extremely anxious for quite some time.The eight seasoned elders teamed up and still c
He didn't want anyone to mention it, especially in public."Where are the eight elders?" Solomon's eyes were filled with rage as he shouted loudly."Here!" The eight elders spoke in unison, giving their response."That person destroyed our place and harmed our followers; he should be struck down on the spot to serve as a warning to others," Solomon said through gritted teeth.The eight elders responded in unison, "Yes, sir!""Attack!"The eight of them were all masters of martial arts who had reached the Peak level.They had impressive performance!At the headquarters, in terms of both status and strength, they were second only to Solomon.Even the legendary Martial God wouldn't stand a chance against the combined strength of these eight individuals.They coordinated seamlessly, surrounding Woody and launching a flurry of fierce attacks from all directions.If it were someone else, they would have been torn apart by them.Woody remained calm, letting his mind wander for a m
In the darkness, countless shadows darted back and forth.When they clearly saw that the gateway, which symbolized the Martial Arts Union, had been destroyed and was now nothing more than a pile of rubble, they were immediately filled with rage."Who dared to be so bold and fearless!""How dare you tear down the Martial Arts Union's gate? You're asking for trouble.""Whoever it is, they're definitely not a good person. Let's deal with them thoroughly first and ask questions later!"A crowd filled with anger saw what appeared to be a figure standing in front of the ruins."Hey kid, did you see who did it?"A sharp-eyed person noticed that the figure was a young man and immediately started questioning him."I'm warning you, this situation is serious. You need to tell everything you've seen, or else you'll face the consequences."Woody stood calmly and said, "I saw it.""Come on, who is it?" a group of people demanded in unison.Woody said calmly, "That's me!""What?!"The gr
Rudolf immediately became anxious. He shielded his granddaughter, Penny, while loudly rebuking, "Mr. Edwards, is this really how your Martial Arts Union treats guests? If word gets out, we won't be afraid of becoming the laughingstock of our peers in the martial arts community!"Solomon was completely unfazed. "You think you're worthy of being called guests?"Faced with a large group of people who were eyeing them aggressively, the three of them were no match at all.It was quickly dealt with!"Solomon, aren't you worried that Mr. Snider's disciple, Woody, will come looking for trouble if you do this?" Rudolf shouted loudly while struggling.Solomon couldn’t care less. “If he dares to come, I will make sure he gets a taste of being a prisoner! The person you were taught by is no good, so it's likely you won't be any better. It's fitting that you pay off your teacher's debt. Let both the old man and you face the consequences together!"What's all the fuss about Woody? He's just a
Solomon was using very offensive language.Miranda had a cold look on her face, but since she was on someone else's turf, she couldn't act out.Jaycee was actually Solomon's sister, and there was an age difference of over twenty years between them.After Jaycee was born, her parents passed away due to illness. Before their death, they entrusted her, still an infant, to the care of Solomon.Solomon had a hard time raising his younger sister by himself. Now, as he watched her grow into a beautiful and talented young woman, she was becoming increasingly admired by people in the martial arts community.There were so many people trying to arrange marriages with the Edwards family that they practically wore down the doorstep from their frequent visits.Solomon was overwhelmed with options, dreaming of his sister marrying into a wealthy family and securing a beautiful marriage.Dreams shattered!Jaycee, who was as fresh and naive, ended up being paired with someone considered old and
To be honest, Woody was quite intrigued.Every time he got into a scuffle with the underlings, he couldn't help but deeply miss Alexia.The esteemed Princess of the Epochal Realm was clearly being used by him as a henchman.The key point is that Alexia wasn't upset at all; instead, she was quite happy to help."No way."Reason overcame impulse, and Woody frowned as he said, "You have to stay at home. Only then can I be at ease."Alexia's expression fell. "Alright then!"Woody laughed and said, "You're being so obedient, I must reward you for that.""What kind of reward?" Her ears perked up with excitement, and her eyes were sparkling.Woody pulled a serpent's core of his pocket and said, "I promised you a gift earlier, and now I'm making good on that promise."Alexia's eyes lit up with excitement again. "The serpent's inner core!"In the past, she would not have paid any attention to the inner core of this quality.Every extra look is an insult to the title "Princess of the
Edwin was, of course, unconvinced! As the teacher, he had failed, but the student had succeeded on the first try. If it wasn't sheer luck, then what was it? Woody didn't respond and picked up a second heavenly crystal. Moments later, he succeeded again! Edwin's eyes widened in amazement, as though he witnessed something truly extraordinary. Meanwhile, the admiration on Alexia's face skyrocketed. "Try it again!" Edwin was still unwilling to accept it. This time, Woody didn't humor him and directly put away the remaining heavenly crystals. "What's the meaning of this?" Edwin widened his eyes. Woody stood up to leave and without looking back, he said, "Thanks!""Wait, are you sure you've fully mastered it?"Edwin hurried after him and said, "What if something goes wrong? I can help you figure it out!""No need. If my master believes he's fine, then he's definitely going to be fine," Alexia said, blocking the old man and speaking with solemn assurance. At that moment, Edwin's
Edwin stiffened his neck, trying to maintain a normal expression to cover up his embarrassment as his earlier demonstration had ended in failure. Although he knew the method, his lack of practice over the years had led to a mistake, which was understandable.""Ha..." Alexia let out a big yawn, her eyelids feeling as though they were weighed down by a thousand pounds; she was getting sleepy!Edwin's lengthy lecture had successfully bored her into a drowsy state. As for the later parts of the lesson, it didn't register in her mind at all; everything he said went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace behind. "Carry on…"Alexia stretched lazily signaling for the two of them to continue without being affected by her. This left Edwin feeling utterly defeated! He felt as though he had been slapped in the face! Putting a student to sleep was already embarrassing enough, but to make matters worse, his demonstration had also failed. "It's fine, let me try." Woody volunteered.
