"You—" Leon was utterly infuriated by this. He was so kind as to help Roanne, but Angus was not only ungrateful for his help, he even threatened him time and time again! Leon was utterly disappointed at getting treated this way. "Well, since none of you believe me, I won't force you to change your minds! Give me back the treasure, and I'll leave right this instant!" Leon snapped, trying to stifle his rage as he pulled the Luminous Pearl back. "No! You can leave, but the treasure has to stay!" Angus scoffed as he reached out, unleashing a powerful surge of energy straight toward Leon. "That's incredible!" Leon gasped when he sensed Angus's power. He was no match for Angus at all, and before he could even react, Angus's energy smacked him squarely in the middle of his chest. The color drained from Leon's face as he staggered backward, a strange sensation rising in his chest. Finally, something leaped into his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood! Thankfull
Angus took no notice of Leon's warning at all and instead turned to gaze at Elder Swire with an apologetic look. "Elder Swire, we Thompsons didn't mean to offend you. It was that punk who kept trying to interrupt you, and he in no way is affiliated with us. Please do forgive us for this confusion!" "Alright then!" Elder Swire finally began to relax at this. "Elder Swire, time is running out, please save our daughter!" Angus pleaded. "I will!" Elder Swire nodded, then strode over to the bed and started pressing his fingers on Roanne's pressure points. There were 12 main channels of internal circulation within the human body, which were the Three Dark Channels of the Arm, the Three Light Channels of the Arm, the Three Dark Channels of the Leg, and finally, the Three Light Channels of the Leg. Each of these channels were interlinked with the other and drained a major organ respectively. The three internal channels that were blocked in Roanne's case were the Supreme Channel, t
All of a sudden, Roanne's eyelids flew open as a flush of redness surged into her cheeks. Then, she bent over, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and passed out within seconds. "Roanne, what's going on?" Angus and Vivian were utterly shocked by this. Vivian immediately lunged toward the bed and grabbed hold of her daughter, crying out Roanne's name over and over, but there was no response from her at all! Not only that but although Roanne also passed out a few minutes ago, her condition was stable beforehand. Now, however, her eyes were clamped tightly shut, and her breathing was gradually becoming labored as though she were in grave danger! Even an idiot could tell that her condition deteriorated and was now in a critical state! "What's going on, Elder Swire? Why did my daughter vomit blood all of a sudden, and become so weak?" Angus' eyes were bloodshot as he turned to shoot Elder Swire a stern look. "I don't know," Elder Swire felt as though he was struck by lightning.
"I've already told you this before—Miss Thompson has a condition known as the Darkness Complex, and all the Dark Energy has been trapped within her for many years now. Therefore, we can't unblock her channels willy-nilly. Now that Elder swire has unblocked her Liver Channel, all the Dark Energy is coursing through the channel right into her heart," Leon sighed. The Liver Channel led into the Pericardial Channel, which was the main channel of the outer layer of the heart—the pericardium. Initially, the Dark Energy within Roanne's body was maintained at equilibrium, and she would not be in any immediate danger so long as the Dark Energy did not surpass the threshold. However, now that the Liver Channel was unblocked, all the Dark Energy was surging right into her heart, and its consequences would be dire! "I can't believe it. It turns out Miss Thompson does have the Darkness Complex," Elder Swire was stunned to hear this. He finally realized that Leon warned him all along! Ho
"Well, Mister Thompson, since you're done with the treasure, I'll be off now!" Leon reached out and grabbed the Spiritual Pearl out of the air, then turned and strode out the door without a second glance. Not only did Angus question his capabilities, but he even threatened him time and time again. Therefore, Leon was not fond of this man at all, and considering the Dark Energy already infiltrated Roanne's heart, there was no point in him staying any longer. "No! you can't leave, Mister Wolf!" Yuri was the first to break out of his stupor and quickly chased after Leon. "Is there anything else I can help you with, Mister Thompson?" Leon asked quizzically. "Mister Wolf, please, I beg you—save my sister," Yuri pleaded. "Mister Thompson, it's not that I don't want to, but now that the Dark Energy has invaded her heart, there's nothing else I can do. I'm sorry to say this, but you'll have to seek help elsewhere," Leon said, shaking his head. Although he brought Iris and Damian
"Mister Wolf, please, help us," Yuri, too, got on his knees after both his parents. "There's no other way," Leon let out a bitter smile and was about to turn the three of them down when all of a sudden, a lightbulb went off in his head. However, after some hesitation, he decided to swallow his words. "Did you think of another solution, Mister Wolf?" Yuri perked up, a sliver of hope igniting in his eyes when he sensed Leon's hesitation. Even Angus and Vivian were staring at him with expectant looks, hoping to hear the answer they wanted. Leon could not bear to disappoint them once more. He let out a sigh and replied, "Well, there's one way to do this, but it's too difficult—not realistic at all." "What is it?" "Mister Wolf, please tell us." The three of them perked up as expressions of excitement crossed their faces. "Well, truth be told, Miss Thompson's condition is a little special. I'm guessing that the Dark Energy within her has yet to fully invade her heart, so w
"Um," Leon fell silent as he contemplated this. He knew that the Sunlit Herb was one of the rarest among the medicinal herbs and that there was no way the Thompsons would be able to find it in time. however, Angus' query reminded him that there was still the possibility of using another herb in replacement of the Sunlit Herb. "I guess that's our best shot!" Leon decided after some thought. "Will this work, Mister Wolf?" Angus could not help asking, his expression delighted. "Well, a herb that's around five centuries old isn't going to work, but I have about three-quarters left of a thousand-year-old Ganoderma. If we use it in replacement of the Sunlit Herb coupled with the Light Convergence Circle, it just might work," Leon explained. Herbs that were thousands of years old had the same properties as elite medicinal herbs, and the Ganoderma also possessed Light Energy conserving effects. Coupled with the formation of a Light Convergence Circle, there was a chance that they c
Leon walked into the backyard, found a spot where the Light Energy was most concentrated, and arranged the 36 jadeites into a Light Convergence Circle. At this point, it was noon, when the sun shone the brightest, and this would allow the Light Convergence Circle to work its full potential! After setting up the Light Convergence Circle, Leon grabbed hold of an unconscious Roanne and strode into the center of the circle, then sat down with his legs crossed. Angus, Vivian, and the rest were given instructions to remain outside the circle, watching, and were not allowed to step into the circle no matter what! Meanwhile, Leon remained seated in the center and took out the jadeite tablet he used to bring everywhere he went, then placed it at the core to activate the Light Convergence Circle. The Light Energy surrounding them quickly concentrated to the center as though tugged by an invisible force, and solidified into beams of blinding energy, surging into the Light Convergence C
