However, after taking the medicine, Caroline not only didn't feel any relief from the pain throughout her body, but it seemed to have intensified.She thought it was just her imagination, and that the medication would soon relieve the pain.However, the pain was becoming more noticeable.Every second, it kept multiplying.Suddenly, she was in such pain that her whole body trembled and she broke out in a cold sweat."Ah..." Caroline could no longer hold it back and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.At this moment, Caenis still hadn't stepped out of the hospital room."Mom, what's wrong?"Katherine was startled and quickly called out to Caenis, "Dr. Brown, what's happening?"Caenis did not turn around; instead, he quickened his pace."Dr. Brown, could you take another look at Mrs. Lorane and see what's wrong?" Magdalena stood in front of Caenis.Caenis finally stopped in his tracks and reluctantly turned around."In theory, this sort of thing shouldn't happen."Caenis retu
As soon as the words were spoken, Caroline's head tilted to one side, and she fainted onto the bed.It turned out that Caenis was just a quack doctor.This guy was just using his connection to Carter to show off and scam people.He knew that Caroline came from a wealthy background, so he came over to scam her out of money.He thought that once he got the money, he could leave without any issues, find a secluded place to hide, and then he could split the money and spend it freely.After all, what was being presented as a Miracle Pill was actually just the most ordinary aspirin.It was harmless.Also, there were only nine pills.Even if she took it all at once, it wouldn't be enough to meet the normal dosage.No one would have thought that just as Caenis was about to step out of the hospital room, the patient suddenly had a critical episode.As Katherine let go of Caenis' collar, Magdalena rushed forward and demanded, "Refund me, are you clear?"Do you believe me if I say I'll
They could only behave and cooperate!Woody was either scared stiff or completely unaware of how dangerous this place was.At that moment, the sound of footsteps was heard.A chubby man in a uniform approached, surrounded by a few others.One of them was the commander who previously led the team to the hospital and apprehended Woody."Are you Woody?"The chubby person spoke up in a questioning manner, exuding an air of superiority."You had people bring me back; don't you know who I am? Why bother asking!" Woody said calmly.The captain immediately got angry and shouted, "How dare you speak to our commander like that? Are you asking for trouble?"The person known as Lional Russo, who was quite large, was the head of the garrison in Andorry and also served as the city’s commander.Typically, these two positions did not overlap.The role of a commander was held by different individuals and was above that of a garrison.Only individuals with exceptional talent or strong connec
Four strong men walked toward the execution platform, each selecting a suitable tool for the task.From their movements and the confident expressions on their faces, it was clear that these four individuals were experts in interrogation techniques.It looked like they were not planning to make things easy for Woody."Without asking anything, they're ready to resort to torture, and they still put on such a dignified front. Have they no shame?" Woody said.Lional scoffed and said, "You talk as if you'd confess just because I asked you!"I've come across many arrogant ancient martial artists like you, the type that never backs down until they're forced to face the consequences."Rather than wasting time arguing with people like you, it's better to just give you a beating to make you behave."Woody responded, "How would you know if I'd admit it or not if you don't ask?"Lional's face lit up with joy as the suspect willingly confessed to the crime!That was definitely a good thing!
A golden light appeared, stopping the branding iron just a foot away from him.The strong man pushed forward with all his might but didn't make any progress at all."Idiot, did you skip a meal or something?" Lional immediately scolded loudly.The strong man felt so frustrated that he decided to throw away the brush. He grabbed the soldering iron with both hands and pressed down with all his strength.But there was no progress.As a result, he soon began sweating profusely."Sir, there's something strange about this kid!" the burly man said while gasping for breath.Lional wasn't bothered at all and scoffed, "It's not like we haven't dealt with similar situations before. We just need to wear out his tricks."Use other methods and see how long he can hold out."Four strong men, who were experienced and confident, each picked up a steel whip about three to four meters long, covered with countless barbs.With a whip like this, when used on a person, it could easily take off a lar
Lional went to the side to make a phone call."Alright, alright, thank you so much for your help this time. Once it's done, I'll make sure to reward you generously!"It was easy to tell from his excitement that the other party had already agreed.Kingsvale's garrison headquarters was home to two top detective experts.They were known as Ghost Blade and Venome.The two were not only colleagues but also a married couple.Ghost Blade learned an entire set of poisoning techniques from his wife, combining the strengths of both their skills into one.Since then, she focused on the family and children, leaving nearly all the work-related matters to her husband.Due to the presence of the detective known as "Ghost Blade" in the interrogation room, no matter how tough a criminal was, once they were in his hands, there was only ever one outcome, which was to tell the truth!Before this, the prisoners would endure inhumane treatment, leaving them in unbearable anguish.Many people, inti
Lional scoffed. "That's nonsense pleading!"If he talks to me nicely, considering we often cross paths, I'd show him some respect."But as soon as he started talking, he demanded that I release the person!"It's unbelievable how audacious he is. Just a mere down-and-out businessman, yet he dares to speak to an official in such a manner. He truly has no self-awareness."As they continued walking, Lional's phone rang again."Mr. Russo, I'm Zachary from the Swenson family in Sidsburry. One of my daughter's friends was taken by your men, accused of assault. There must be some misunderstanding."How about this, as a favor to us, you let the person go."The Swenson family will remember this favor and will definitely thank you generously afterward! Oh, by the way, the person who was caught is named Woody Henderson."Zachary only made the call to this person after being persistently persuaded by Mabel as he had no other choice."Releasing him is absolutely out of the question. Woody h
Lional, wanting to show that he wasn't affected, simply turned off his phone."As long as you are not scared, that's good!" Briella said with a satisfied look on her face.Lional started to immerse himself entirely in the process of making tea.After a while, the sound of a helicopter's rotor blades could be heard outside the window, growing closer and closer."It must be Ghost Blade who has arrived!"A look of delight appeared on Lional's face, and he quickly stood up.Briella also ran out, eager to see the notorious figure known as "Ghost Blade," who was considered the toughest person in the garrison.In the spacious yard, the helicopter landed smoothly.The door opened, and a tall, lanky middle-aged man with a long face stepped down.The person had a face full of wrinkles and an intense, fierce look in his eyes.Although he appeared frail and delicate, there was an intimidating aura emanating from him.Even the police dogs crouched by the main entrance were so scared that
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.
