Frowning at Ciara, Elijah asked, "How is my having dinner here in any way related to you?""How is it not?" Ciara scoffed as she stepped forward. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Although you act like you don't care, in reality, you're still hung up on this matter. You're purposely showing up wherever I go to get my attention and make your presence known, aren't you?"Frowning, Ciara continued, "Elijah, don't you find your actions too immature?""Kindly stop disturbing me while I'm having my dinner," Elijah responded."Your dinner?" Ciara repeated with a sneer. After taking in the table filled with food, she remarked, "Do you think you can afford to eat at Nyx? The food on the table would cost at least ten grand. Don't tell me you're planning to run off without paying the bill!""Oh, it's you!" Jared commented with a scoff of his own. He was still bearing a grudge over how Elijah had humiliated him the last time. His gaze was dark as he said, "I got my people to

Greg was stupefied. He came forward and questioned Elijah, "What's going on?"Then, he looked at Ivan. With a grim expression, he called out, "Ivan Sharp?"Greg wanted to scream at Elijah. Ivan was a reckless and domineering young man who lorded over everyone in Ashford. Even Greg himself dared not offend someone like that."Ms. Lynette," Ivan greeted with a mocking sneer. "So, he's one of yours, huh? That's fine by me. After all, just like the Hudsons and the Ludwigs, the Greers want to deal with you Grays, too. Consider yourself unlucky for crossing paths with us today!""When did you start working as the Greer family's lackey?" Lynette asked indifferently.Ivan's expression darkened menacingly. "How dare you insult me?""Don't push it, Ivan!" Greg stepped forward and barked. "This might be your territory, but that doesn't mean we're scared of you!""Who said a lapdog could speak up at a time like this?" Ivan retorted icily. "Since Ciara Ludwig managed to escape, I'll have to

With a single punch, Otis was sent flying. He slammed into the wall with a loud thud and spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing unconscious.He had been taken out with just one punch!Dumbfounded, Ivan felt his body turning cold. Lynette and Wendy were equally stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief as they stared at Elijah, who was casually eating while sitting on top of Ivan's men.He was a beast!Elijah wiped his mouth and said, "Is there anything else? If not, we should leave.""Let's go," Lynette quickly said, grabbing Wendy with one hand and Elijah's arm with the other as she led them outside. Elijah felt a sudden jolt in his heart and boldly clasped Lynette's small hand in return.Lynette tried to pull away but failed. Her usually cold and composed face flushed with a faint blush as she, still holding hands with Elijah, led them out of Nyx.Ivan and the few remaining lackeys stood frozen, trembling, not daring to make a sound. "Get him upstairs—report this t

"It's nothing," Lynette said as she quickly changed the subject. "I don't care if these are real. You need to keep them safe and make sure you don't reveal them without a good reason.""Why not?""Because you're still too weak," Lynette said as she glanced at Elijah coolly. "These things will bring harm to you. Take Ciara alone. I heard that the son of the Hudson family is fervently pursuing her. The Hudsons alone are far more powerful than someone like you from the countryside can ever imagine."As for Charlotte, I heard that Walter Reid, a young duke and another war hero at the Southeastern Military Command, is attempting to woo her as well. How do you think a seasoned killer like the duke would react if he found out she has a fiancé?"Eyeing Elijah with mixed emotions, she answered her own question, "You'll disappear for good."Elijah merely chuckled in response before saying, "Alright. Let's head back now."Lynette continued to have mixed feelings as she drove back home. She

During breakfast, a red-faced Wendy glowered at Elijah, as if she wanted to eat him alive. She had woken up to use the bathroom, only to end up having him barge inside wearing nothing but his underwear."Alright," Lynette spoke up. "After breakfast, follow me out. We're going to meet someone."Soon, it was time to leave. Lynette brought Elijah and a few others with her up the hill. Elijah was a little startled when they arrived at the villas up on the peak. He recognized them to be the ones he had seen yesterday.After the guards let Elijah, Lynette, and the group into the compound, Elijah said, "My stomach feels a bit off. I'll head to the bathroom first."He looked around and dashed off to the bathroom he spotted while Lynette shook her head at his antics.In the living room, Lynette saw Charlotte, who was dressed casually."Charlotte!" Lynette squealed before throwing herself at Charlotte."You've grown up so much," Charlotte remarked as she stroked Lynette's hair affectionat

A thread diagnosis?James was taken aback. A thread diagnosis was a closely guarded trade secret that was found among the ancient royal physicians who needed to diagnose members of the royal family without having any physical contact. They were only allowed to use a thread tied around the patient's wrist to check their pulse. Mastering this technique required a great deal of knowledge and understanding.Considering this was modern society, James didn't devote himself to practicing the art of thread diagnosis, so he wasn't an expert in it.James glanced at Charlotte, who simply nodded back at him."Fine."James took a deep breath. Being an accomplished doctor from a respectable background, he wasn't afraid of being challenged by a con artist. Besides, it was a bit rude to touch a woman's hand unnecessarily. "Bring me some thread."Once the thread was brought over, James wrapped it around Lynette's wrist before taking the other end and calmly checking her pulse.Wendy and Ch

"You said she fell into the water?" James questioned before scoffing in annoyance. "Who can tell something like that from reading someone's pulse?""I sense a ball of stagnated energy deep within her lungs. That's a sign of someone who had nearly drowned in her childhood," Elijah coolly explained.Charlotte's expression became even more complicated. "I did fall into the water when I was five years old. I nearly died that day."James was rendered speechless."You are indeed incredible, Mr. Ludwig," Charlotte said with a faint smile. "I trust your abilities. However, I need you and James to leave us for now. I have something to discuss with Lyn."James glowered at Elijah as the two left the living room, leaving Charlotte and Lynette alone.After a brief silence, Charlotte began, "Lyn, do you know why I decided to come back to Ashford during my leave? I'm here to look for someone.""To look for someone?" Lynette repeated in surprise."That's right," Charlotte said wistfully. "My p

Carl, Ciara, Jared, and the rest all waited outside the villa. Despite standing under the hot sun for several hours, they didn't get the chance to enter and meet Charlotte.Feeling despondent, Ciara sighed. "I guess General Adler isn't willing to see us.""She's a prominent figure. Why would she care about insignificant people like us?" Carl said with mixed feelings. "Nevertheless, she is still our only hope. As long as we can get an audience with her, we'll be saved from the crisis we're in!""That's right." Ciara nodded in agreement. "Let's come over again in a few days. I'm sure General Adler will meet with us once she's free."Once she finished speaking, everyone turned toward the villa. One of the Ludwigs pointed at a figure that just exited from the back entrance of the villa and exclaimed, "Hey, look! Isn't that Elijah?"Carl and Ciara swiftly looked over, but Ciara shook her head and said doubtfully, "That's impossible. Why would Elijah get the chance to meet with General

"If you're going to be her bodyguard, what am I going to be, then?" Elijah spoke up in disgruntlement."You?" Benedict gave Elijah a quick once-over before lifting his chin and continuing, "You can get along with whatever you're supposed to be doing. Now that we, the Fangs, have taken over the duty of protecting Ms. Lynette, you're no longer needed here."He gave the order without any regard for Elijah at all."Lyn still needs a doctor," Thomas said coolly. "You can remain by her side as her doctor. You simply needn't worry about looking out for her safety."Although Elijah had saved Lynette a few times, Thomas couldn't fully trust a random stranger from the countryside whose background he knew nothing about."Sure," Elijah responded with a nod. He couldn't be bothered to care too much anyway.Once Benedict heard that Elijah was still going to stick around, his eyes flickered with displeasure. He was just about to make a comment when a security guard came running over from the

Anyone who knew about the Fangs would be alarmed at the very mention of their name.Wendy's reaction was especially noticeable. With a look of fear and awe, she secretly observed Benedict as if she were studying a mythical creature. Even her heart was pounding wildly."The Fangs surpass even the Seabound and Lakeshore Trade Associations! How did you manage to hire someone from the Fangs, Mr. Thomas?" Wendy asked with a look of respect."Hah! The Seabound and Lakeshore Trade Associations are nothing!"Alas, Benedict scoffed at the comparison Wendy made. He let out a scornful chuckle, as though comparing the two with the Fangs was a great dishonor to him."We, the Fangs, are the real giants here. We even have our headquarters in Summiton! All of these weaklings at Ashford are nothing compared to us!"However, both Wendy and Thomas didn't feel insulted by Benedict's remarks. On the contrary, they agreed with him."The Fangs recently opened a subdivision here in Ashford, and Benedic

In response to Carl's eager question, Jared nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Ludwig! My family staked all of our assets to get the project. In a few days, let's bring this matter to Simon and have a discussion with him."Carl's eyes lit up."I knew you were the person we could count on to go up against the Greers, Jared!" he said emphatically as he grasped Jared's hand.…Standing at an intersection in Ashford, Elijah looked a little lost. Although he lived with the Ludwigs as a child, he didn't have much of a relationship with them.He had never met his father before, and even his mother died from illness when he was very young. The only person he could consider family was his mentor, Alaric.Elijah unfurled his fist to reveal a worn emblem on his palm. Half of it had been burned off. This was the only keepsake he had left of his father."To think I would be kicked out of the family after returning from Mount Quarra," Elijah remarked with a laugh. He didn't think too much

"That's enough," Carl snapped exasperatedly. "Stop trying to put on airs by holding out on us. This matter is settled. I'll even give you something else."He held up a finger and said, "I'll allow you to choose a position in any of the companies owned by me or the Ludwig family. That should be worthwhile for you, right?"His expression was stern as he continued in a threatening tone, "Don't think you can do whatever you want and cross the line just because you have something you can use against us. You got that?""Don't be too greedy!" Melody snapped resentfully, her tone mocking as well. "Not only is Uncle Carl offering to restore you to the family, but he'll even give you a job and help you find someone to marry. Don't tell me you want more. What else do you want? Money?"Hamish buffed up his chest and declared, "You're just an outsider. The family is already being very kind by doing this much for you. You should count your blessings! Who knows what you can make of yourself witho

In fact, the Ludwigs believed they could now rank even higher than the Grays! After all, even the Grays lost to the Greers, so it meant they were weaker than the current Ludwigs."Didn't you hear what I said, Elijah?" Edgar urged impatiently in a standoffish tone that made him sound like he was doing Elijah a service."That's right! Since the family has decided to acknowledge you, you should appreciate the gesture and do as you're told!" Melody snapped in displeasure, her brows creased. "Don't tell me you intend to put on airs now. You should be grateful that you're not totally useless to the family.""Exactly!" Hamish added in contempt. "Who knows how you got lucky that you managed to prove yourself useful today? You should be thanking your lucky stars for that!"The Ludwigs' impatient prompting made it seem like they were bestowing Elijah a great honor by allowing him to rank himself as one of the Ludwigs because he proved to be somewhat useful to them.Even Ciara was eyeing Eli

Zachary and the Ludwigs were all shocked beyond words. The concoction Elijah came up with clearly looked like a nourishing formula. Could it really be poisonous?This situation was utterly challenging everything they knew about medicine."I need to be quick. I'll use the torch emetic!" Michael yelled as his face turned an even brighter shade of red. After consuming the black liquid, an antidote that could induce vomiting, he immediately started throwing up.It looked like he had expelled all the contents in his body, but it didn't seem to help. He crumpled to the ground once more. All of his limbs were convulsing. It felt like he had been set on fire on the inside.Using whatever strength he could muster, he said, "The heavenly cure, then!""The divine elixir!""The purification soup!"On and on it went, so much so that Michael was starting to feel numb. He didn't even know what the source of the poison was. He started ruminating over the taste of what he had consumed and couldn

Michael wondered if Elijah was really some kind of genius.Meanwhile, after hearing what Zachary said, the other Ludwigs felt as if they had been slapped in the face.Did Zachary just claim that Elijah, the person they kicked out of the family, was more medically skilled than he was? He had to have lost his mind!The Ludwigs were filled with disbelief.Ciara lifted her head. Her eyes flashed with surprise as well. She started scrutinizing the ex-fiancé she had scorned as if to reacquaint herself with him.Alas, the situation was now beyond their control."So be it," Michael replied in amusement. "Who am I to refuse you if you wish to hand the Larson family over to me on a silver platter?""Let's keep things simple," Elijah said. He selected a few medicinal ingredients and tossed them into a bowl together. In just less than ten seconds, he prepared a concoction and handed it over to Michael."Here you go. Drink up," he said nonchalantly.Michael eyed the bowl in suspicion. It c

"Do you think you're qualified to challenge me?" Michael eyed Elijah and sneered. "Who do you think you are when even your family's genius doctor… I mean, my maid, has lost to me? Are you claiming that you're even better than Ciara?"Michael's expression was taunting, but he was a bit taken aback that Elijah managed to save Jared by kicking him and stuffing some medicinal ingredients into his mouth.Ciara turned red and lowered her head in humiliation."This is no place for you to run your mouth, Elijah! Get lost! Stop embarrassing the family!" Hamish Ludwig came forward and yelled at Elijah."Do you actually think you're even more skilled than Ciara? You're just a clown! What makes you think you can come forward now? You have no self-awareness at all!"All of the Ludwigs started ranting at Elijah. They had lost the competition. Even Zachary had lost. And yet, Elijah chose to jump forward right at this moment. What else could it be for other than to humiliate the family even furth

"Mr. Greer, this man is not related to our family in any way!" one of the Ludwigs shouted.With his hands behind his back, Michael walked up to Elijah and peered at him haughtily. "Were you the one who spoke just now? What did you say? Dare to repeat yourself?"All of the Ludwigs eyed Elijah in pity. He might've had his fun running his mouth earlier, but he was done for now. They thought they were about to witness Elijah begging like a dog—but they were wrong.Elijah scratched his ear while asking, "Are you deaf? I said you guys acted like a bunch of kids throwing tantrums. How pointless."Michael's expression darkened, and all of the Ludwigs were shocked.Elijah must have lost his mind. How could he dare to say such a thing in front of Michael? Just how bold was he?Melody shook her head and commented icily, "He's just pretending to be tough. I bet he's quaking with fear on the inside. Guys like him seem brave on the surface, but in reality, they're just clowns without any sense
