Chapter 1804 Compared with Molly's excited expression, Sean looked much calmer, and he asked the most crucial question, "Mr. Ballard, where are these two medicinal herbs?" Mr. Ballard looked at him and replied, " There's just one person on earth who grows these particular herbs, and that person is right in the Unbounded Land." "Grow?" Molly was a little surprised. What kind of person could grow these two rare medicinal herbs? "Yes, that's a man who knows a lot about medicinal herbs." When Mr. Ballard mentioned this man, his face showed his appreciation for this man. Then he continued, "I can take you to him." "That’s good," Molly blurted out, "Mr. Ballard, it’s very urgent. If it’s okay, we will leave tomorrow." Now they didn't know when the Martial Art Union would attack the Grandset, so they had to develop the medicine as soon as possible. They had to take precautions in the bud! Mr. Ballard nodded in agreement, "Okay." Then he said to Logan, who had been silent
Chapter 1805Jordan's friend lived in another city somewhat far away, so they needed to take an airplane.When they arrived in the city, it was afternoon.After they got out of the airport, the car Sean had arranged was waiting for them.After nearly half an hour of driving, they reached a mountain.Through the car window, Molly saw a pavilion not far away.The sunlight fell on the tiles and the tiles reflected the bright sunlight.Molly involuntarily squinted and noticed the plants on the hill.The plants grew in rows up to the top of the hill. It looked like a farm.When Molly looked closer at the plants, her eyes widened in shock.If she was not mistaken, those weren't ordinary plants but herbs, and the whole hill was covered in them.Jordan noticed her shock and, with a smile, he asked, "do you notice those plants?"Molly turned to him and nodded. "Yes, I see those plants.""The whole mountain is planted with herbs.""The whole mountain?" Molly was stunned. At the sam
Chapter 1806The car quickly arrived at the mountaintop. As they parked, Molly caught sight of a large structure through the window. It appeared to be a medicinal herb base, with buildings that exuded an antique charm, boasting red walls and green tiles reminiscent of ancient times."They produce and process their own medicinal herbs," Mr. Ballard explained, prompting Molly to notice the numerous workers bustling in and out. The scale of the operation was quite impressive!Still in awe, Molly's curiosity about Mr. Ballard's friend grew even stronger. What kind of exceptional person could own such a vast mountain to plant herbs and process medicinal materials here? She found herself increasingly eager to meet this person."Let's step out of the car," Mr. Ballard said as he unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and exited first. Molly and Sean promptly followed suit.They saw Mr. Ballard making his way towards the security booth at the entrance."Hello, I would like to m
Chapter 1807Seeing the meaningful gazes of Sean and Molly, Mr. Ballard felt embarrassed.Mr. Ballard would like to explain but it wasn’t the right time now.He could only pat the woman in his arms. “Yolanda, I’m fine now. Be happy.”Being comforted, Yolanda calmed down, let go of Mr. Ballard, wiped her tears, and smiled in embarrassment.“I’m too excited. Don’t laugh at me.”Mr. Ballard burst into laughter, “I won’t.”He pointed at Molly and Sean and introduced them to Yolanda, “By the way, she’s my student, Molly May. The man beside Molly is her husband, Sean Anderson.”Only then did Yolanda look at Molly and Sean. She examined them up and down and smiled gently, “Now that you’re Mr. Ballard’s student, you can call me Auntie Yolanda.”Hearing that, Molly greeted Yolanda obediently, “Nice to meet you, Auntie Yolanda.”Sean also said, “Nice to meet you, Auntie Yolanda.”Yolanda nodded at them and smiled more brightly. Then she turned around and said to Mr. Ballard, “They’re
Chapter 1808Back at the herb base, the workers smilingly greeted Yolanda.“Good afternoon, Yolanda.” “Good afternoon.”Yolanda nodded her head with a gentle smile in greeting.She led Molly and the others to the entrance of the warehouse. "This is the herb warehouse. There are almost any kind of herbs in it."Yolanda asked someone to open the gate.As the gate was slowly opened, a warehouse filled with herb cabinets appeared in front of everyone.Molly had forgotten how many times she had been shocked since she arrived here."Get in."Yolanda led the way.Molly followed behind and looked around, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.The rows of herb cabinets were like the shelves in a supermarket. All kinds of herbs were arranged in different categories, and there was even a constant temperature room on one side.It really amazed Molly so much that she couldn't speak for a long time."Over there is a constant temperature room. It's used to preserve some perishable herbs
Chapter 1809After they walked out of the medicine warehouse, it was getting dark outside.“I have asked the cook to prepare dinner. Would you like to have dinner with me?”Yolanda looked at Molly and Sean and then fixed her eyes on Mr. Ballard.Of course, Mr. Ballard had no objection. He chuckled, “We haven’t had a meal together for a long time.”He turned to look at Molly and asked, “Would you?”Molly smiled, “I’d love to.”Yolanda took them to the house where she was living.It was a Western-style building.“Have a seat, please. I will go to the kitchen to have a look.” Yolanda invited them to have a seat in the living room and went to the kitchen.After Molly had a seat, she looked around.An old clock and several oil paintings hung on the wall. The furniture was vintage. Being in here, Molly felt as if she went back to the 1980s.The light fragrance of sandalwood filled the air.“Do you like it?”Sean’s gentle voice sounded beside Molly’s ear. Molly turned around, me
Chapter 1810"Sean and I will walk off the dinner in the courtyard while you two talk."Molly sensibly pulled Sean outside.Mr. Ballard and Yolanda were left alone.Of course, Mr. Ballard knew Molly's thoughts. He smiled resignedly and shook his head at Molly's back.Arriving at the courtyard, Molly inhaled deeply. "The air in the mountains is really good."She turned to look at the man beside her, her beautiful eyes sparkling like stars.Sean's eyes flickered slightly as he lowered his head and pecked her lips."Are you tired?"His low voice was full of concern."No." Molly shook her head. "On the contrary, I feel happy."She saw a lot of rare herbs and took quite a few of them, which was even happier than hitting the jackpot for her."That's good."Sean led her to a nearby bench and sat down, the two cuddling together and looking up at the stars in the sky."I wonder what the three little ones are doing now."Suddenly, Molly missed her kids, even though they had only b
Chapter 1811Guessing what was on Molly's mind, Mr. Ballard smiled and said, "It's all in the past, and we've moved on." "Mr. Ballard, then you..." Molly wanted to say something, but soon she stopped. Mr. Ballard knew what she wanted to ask. He sighed, "At that time, my wife had also passed away. When I heard about Yolanda’s situation, I helped her settle down. But..." He paused and then continued, "We didn’t get back together. We just care about each other." Hearing this, Molly felt pity for Mr. Ballard and Yolanda, but as a youngster, she didn't say anything."Well, you're tired today. You should go to bed early," Mr. Ballard said. Molly nodded, "You too. Good night." Back to her room, after washing, Molly sat on the bed and was still thinking about Mr. Ballard and Yolanda. The more she thought about them, the more she felt it was a pity. "What are you thinking?" Sean came over and asked softly. Molly looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If you
Chapter 1882Chester thought this was a good idea. After deliberation, he said, "Then, let's send some people over from the Dark Group."The Grandset had eight groups on the surface, but in reality, there was a secret Dark Group.The Dark Group's members were trained by Chester. Almost all of them were experts in ancient martial arts.Moreover, they were good at scouting, tracking, and counter-tracking, far more capable than the five Asura Kings.Sean looked at him and said, "That's exactly what I want to do. They're the only ones capable of this mission. Ordinary people can't accomplish it."Chester nodded. "Got it. I'll arrange it as soon as possible. I hope things will turn out well. "Sean nodded. They chatted for a while longer before Chester left.In the evening, Sean returned to his place, and Molly was still awake.She had already taken a shower and was leaning against the bedhead, reading a book about ancient medical techniques.Sean casually put his jacket aside, wa
Chapter 1881Chester left with Sean's orders and quickly told everyone.However, despite the advance notice, some of the family heads in several unmanaged districts were still missing for the next two days.The forces under the Martial Art Union also suffered from the impact.Sean sensed that something was wrong.People were missing in the Martial Art Union and the unmanaged areas, but the Grandset was fine.It was definitely not a good sign.Sean quickly called an emergency meeting.The next morning, all the hall masters gathered in the conference room of the temporary base.Everyone was seated at the large round table.Sean was the last to come in. Everyone stood up and respectfully greeted him. "Master."Sean nodded lightly in response.After taking the seat of honor, he got straight to the point and said, "I presume you know why you are summoned here. Many family heads have disappeared recently, which has caused panic among the people."Only we are left unharmed."S
Chapter 1880Mr. Ballard sighed resignedly, “We have no other choices now. The Martial Art competition will be held in two days. Hope nothing else will happen.”“Although we haven’t gotten any news from the Martial Art Union, we should be prepared for attacks and continue to prepare the medicine.”Molly also felt disturbed. The situation was still uncertain, and they couldn’t slack off.If the Martial Art Union attacked them in advance and they hadn’t been prepared, they would be in danger.“I think so. Now that it’s true, we’d better return to the hospital. The hospital must be in chaos. Molly...”Mr. Ballard looked at Sean and Molly worriedly.Molly was afraid that Sean would disagree and said immediately, “I would like to return to the hospital with you.”Sean nodded, “Remember to take a rest when you’re tired. I will ask the driver to drive you to the hospital.”The next day, the Martial Art Union made an announcement as expected.The Martial Art Union: [Recently, many he
Chapter 1879Sean ordered immediately, "Arrange more people to look for them, while secretly protecting the remaining clan leaders. Don't act rashly and alarm the enemy, so as not to raise new issues.""Moreover, send some people to look into the matter secretly, and keep a close watch on the Martial Art Union."Tony nodded, "Okay, Mr. Anderson. I'll do it right away."After finishing his words, he left hurriedly.Looking at the partial information Tony had previously compiled about clan leaders' disappearance, Sean pinched his brow. Sean mused, feeling that this matter wasn't simple.A few moments later, the office door was knocked again, "Sean, may I come in?"Molly's voice came outside the door.Hearing this, Sean adjusted his expression and got up to open the door.He gently took Molly's hand and led her into his office to sit down, "Why are you guys here at this hour? Are you not feeling well?"He asked Molly softly, smoothing her hair."No, I'm fine. It's just that Mr.
Chapter 1878Sean looked at the woman in his arms with tender eyes.He wiped the water droplets off the corners of Molly's mouth and asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll wake you up when the meal is ready."Molly didn't refuse.Unwilling to part with her, the three kids had talked to her till late hours last night.And she had to get up early this morning to catch the plane. She was indeed a little tired.Now that she had nothing to do, she could take a rest and refresh herself.Soon, Molly went to bed and slept.Sean watched over her.Later, the maid got the meal ready, and he woke up Molly.The next morning, Molly woke up to find the man beside her was gone.A note was left on the bedside table. "Don't forget to have breakfast. I have something to do and will come back tonight."She looked at the note and felt anxious.It seemed that she too had to quickly enter working mode. After breakfast, Molly quickly tidied up and went straight to the hospital.What ha
Chapter 1877Mr. Ballard smiled happily, “OK. I will take you there personally!”After they chatted for a while, Molly went to visit the hospital. Then she went to the villa to take a rest with Sean.The villa was close to the hospital. Before they went there, Sean arranged for someone to buy it.Sean’s purpose was to let Molly go to the hospital and back conveniently.After Sean carried the luggage into the villa, he said to Molly who sat on the couch, “Have a look at the villa. Tell me if you lack anything. I will buy them for you.”Molly looked around and shook her head, “Everything is available here. If I need anything else, I will tell you.”Sean smiled, put down the luggage, poured a cup of water for her, and asked with concern, “Are you tired?”Molly replied honestly, “Only my legs ache.”Hearing that, he sat beside her immediately and massaged her legs gently.Seeing that he was so considerate, she smiled and felt happy.A few minutes later, Molly felt much better an
Chapter 1876Mr. Ballard felt proud of himself, seeing the surprised expressions on Molly's and Sean's faces."What do you think of the temporary medical base we set up?" he asked, fixing his eyes on Sean.Sean, who understood what the old man meant, smiled in response. "Very good. Even better than I expected."As they chatted, they walked into the base."Mr. Ballard."Every person in a white coat greeted Mr. Ballard with respect.And they were amazed by the presence of Molly and Sean.The two were outstanding in appearance and temperament.Mr. Ballard nodded in response to the greetings while introducing the layout of the base to Molly and Sean.Molly looked around and asked curiously, "Are these people all doctors?"Given Mr. Ballard and Logan's strength, she thought that they could gather dozens of people at most.After all, this matter was full of danger.But those in front of her probably numbered in the hundreds, even thousands.Seeing an impressed Molly, Mr. Ballar
Chapter 1875The next day, Molly recuperated in the bedroom.Sean was worried about her and specially worked in the bedroom.The three kids were also there.They joked or told interesting things from time to time. Molly was amused by them and wore a smile on her face all the time.Molly had persuaded Sean and thus was in a good mood.Within two days, she looked much better.Mr. Ballard, Logan, and the others were relieved and could go to do logistic work at ease.On the day when they set off, Molly saw them off at the door.She looked at them and reminded them carefully, “Please pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, contact us immediately.”Mr. Ballard urged Molly to return to the room, “I see. Don’t worry. You can return to your room and take a rest now. You haven’t totally recovered yet.”Logan and Lesley nodded and echoed, “Uncle Jordan is right. We will take care of Uncle Jordan.”Yolanda said, “Don’t worry. You will go to find us with Mr. Atherton soon.”
Chapter 1874The next morning, bright sunlight streamed in through the window and woke Molly up. She saw three little ones guarding her, staring at her with an intense gaze."Mommy, you're awake," they exclaimed happily."How do you feel, Mommy? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"Molly's heart warmed at their care and she smiled gently. She raised her hand and rubbed their heads lightly, saying softly, "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."Sitting beside her, Sean watched the interaction between Molly and the children with tender eyes. He instructed the little ones, "You stay here with Mommy. I'll go get Jordan to check on her and have breakfast delivered.""Daddy, go ahead," the little ones replied, waving their hands without looking back.Sean left with a smile, and he soon returned with Jordan and Logan. Upon seeing Molly leaning against the bed, Brycen squeezed through the crowd to come to her side."Molly, it seems you are fine now!" he exclaimed with concern, his dark
