The CT scan showed Davidson had a fractured wrist, while Orwell suffered bladder damage. Though neither’s life was in danger, both would need a long period of careful recuperation.And all of this was Alan’s doing.Austin Hospital was an upscale private hospital invested and owned by the Austin Family.Though its overall medical prowess could not rival the top-tier Grade A tertiary hospitals, it was undoubtedly among the elite of private medical facilities.Every prominent clan in Neon City actually owned its own private hospital.Ostensibly open to the public, these hospitals mostly turned away outside patients in ordinary times.They were reserved almost exclusively for internal use by the family.Now, besides Davidson and Orwell, all the others who had been driven out of Omba’s residence by Alan had also gathered here, wearing gloomy expressions as they discussed their next move.What had happened today was an enormous shock they had never seen coming.First, they had never expecte

Omba nodded and said, From what I’ve heard going around town, four years ago your grandfather suddenly fell ill, yet the doctors could find no cause whatsoever. He sought medical help everywhere, but nothing worked.Later, members of the Smith Family traveled across the country to famous mountains and sacred lands, visiting countless reclusive masters. But after those masters inspected the ancestral burial grounds, they all turned and left without a single word. No matter how the family pressed them for a reason, none would utter a word.Your grandfather was driven to desperation. He personally traveled all the way to the United States and visited an elderly Chinese feng shui master over a hundred years old three times before persuading him to come back. Once the feng shui master arrived and examined the Smith Family’s ancestral tomb layout, he said the family was trapped in an inauspicious feng shui formation known as a dragon stranded in shallow shallows — one that was extremely dif

If you ever grow tired of all the trivial troubles among the noble families in Neon City, I would fully support you and Juliet settling overseas. And you’ll never need to worry about money. The assets your Uncle Omba and I own are more than enough for the two of you to live a life of comfort and abundance anywhere in the world for the rest of your days.Juliet’s pretty face blushed crimson. She stood shyly without saying a word, yet her gaze drifted toward Alan time and again, filled with tender affection.Alan knew his engagement to Juliet had been arranged by their parents.It had stood for over twenty years already. He had already failed to keep his late parents’ promise, and to reject it outright right now would make him feel ashamed to face their departed souls.So he nodded gently and said earnestly, Uncle Omba, Aunt Nancy, I will give all of this careful thought.In his mind, putting things off for now and gradually easing the matter along was the best way to handle it.Omba re

That year, he heard word that someone had spotted a young Chinese man in faraway Argentina.In Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital, this young Chinese man made a living working as a temporary tour guide for Chinese tourists — and he bore a striking resemblance to the sworn elder brother Omba had known in his younger days.Upon hearing the news, Omba was overcome with excitement.He immediately booked a full set of flight tickets to Argentina.Argentina is the farthest country from China.Whether traveling east or west, the straight-line distance to reach it is at least twenty thousand kilometers.No commercial airliner can fly twenty thousand kilometers nonstop, so there are no direct flights from Neon City to Buenos Aires at all.At that time, Omba’s private jet had a maximum range of less than eight thousand kilometers.Yet determined to find Alan, he set off in a great hurry late that same night without the slightest hesitation.His jet first took off from Neon City, made a stopover

But after witnessing Alan single-handedly defeat the so-called War God and Realm Lord just now, an overwhelming sense of trust in him suddenly took root in Omba’s heart.If Alan said he could do it, he must have real confidence in his words.He hurriedly asked, Alan… do you truly have a way to cure me?!Eyes red with tears, Nancy added, Yes, Alan. Uncle Omba’s condition is far too serious. We’ve consulted the world’s top medical experts, but they all…Nancy trailed off, unable to finish her sentence.They had heard those same words far too many times already.No matter which renowned specialist they sought out, the answer was always the same — his illness was incurable, and medical treatment could only prolong his life by a few months at most.Alan spoke with unshakable certainty. Don’t worry, Aunt Nancy. When I say I can cure him, I mean it.With that, he pulled a Rejuvenation Pill out of his pocket, held it out to Omba, and said earnestly, Uncle Omba, take this pill, and every ailme

Though Omba was still alive, he was already gravely ill beyond cure. If he chose to seek medical treatment, he would have no energy left to manage the group’s affairs from then on. If he refused treatment, he would not have much time left to live in any case.This was the perfect moment to stage a power grab.No matter what, he first had to force Omba to hand over the position of chairman and all executive power.After that, he could slowly plot to seize the shares held by Omba.If all else failed, he could resort to the most extreme measure — eliminating Omba’s wife and daughter once the eldest brother passed away.In that case, the shares belonging to the three of them would naturally fall into his own hands and those of his third brother.Yet he dared not take such a drastic step lightly. Neon City was a place where hidden talents and powerful figures lurked everywhere, and many top tycoons knew every detail of the major families’ affairs. If he really moved in secret, no matter ho

Verity’s eyes sparkled the moment she heard this. It was obvious that the most precious treasures lay within the main hall ahead, while the second side chamber could only hold items of far inferior grade at best.What was more, the legendary divine medicine could never be kept in such an ordinary side room.Having endured countless hardships to reach this place, Verity naturally harbored far greater ambitions.She quickly spoke up. Senior White Ape, an elder has issued orders for me to retrieve the divine medicine.Albert gritted his teeth inwardly. Verity was truly insatiably greedy, daring to deceive the ancient ape. That divine medicine was rightfully his!Just as Albert was racking his brains to thwart her scheme, the white ape suddenly narrowed its eyes and spoke sternly.Which elder dares to make such presumptuous demands? Not only is the divine medicine not yet fully refined, even if it were finished, it is never something any ordinary elder could claim.Verity was instantly lo

Standing behind the white ape, Verity’s crystal-clear eyes flashed with surprise as well. Could Albert really get in just like that? What exactly had he shown the ancient ape earlier?Confusion and curiosity welled up deep inside her heart.Great joy surged through Albert now that he had gained permission to enter, and his tense mood finally eased. This thatched cottage undoubtedly held the greatest fortune within the entire Heavenly Domain Secret Realm. He could never let Verity claim it all. He had long made up his mind that if he failed to get inside, he would simply wait outside for her to come out—and then he would have no choice but to act ruthlessly. After all, they were already rivals, and there was no need for him to show any mercy.He stepped forward quickly and stood beside her behind the white ape.Verity glanced at him and smiled softly. Lord Dragon Leader Albert truly has boundless means. You can even seize such a rare opportunity. No wonder you have achieved so much at

Upon hearing this, everyone present could no longer stay calm, all wearing anxious looks. If only Verity was allowed inside, all the precious treasures would surely fall into her hands.Ulysses wore a gloomy expression and could not help speaking out. Verity, this is hardly fair.Fara was also quite displeased. We went through countless hardships just to get here, yet only you get to claim the treasures. That is unreasonable!Leaders of other forces also voiced their complaints. Popular as Verity was, the allure of the Primal Soul Fruit far outweighed everything else.Treasures belong to those destined to obtain them. You made no preparations yourselves, so how can you blame others? Taber let out a cold snort and glared sharply at the crowd.Fara snapped angrily. I don’t care about any of that! If you don’t give us a proper explanation, I won’t let anyone enter this thatched cottage easily!Many others echoed her words, trying to pressure Taber and his companions into backing down.No

Right away, everyone watched in utter astonishment as several Bronze Golden-Claw Divine Eagles soared out from the ancient tree. Before the stunned crowd, the eagles used their sharp beaks to pluck all the hanging Primal Soul Fruits. They then flapped their wings, swooped down and flew straight into the thatched cottage.Staring at the now empty ancient tree, all present were utterly distraught.They had endured so many hardships all this time, with the Primal Soul Fruits almost within their grasp, only for such an unexpected twist to happen.The thatched cottage had appeared out of nowhere, clearly no ordinary place. Now that the fruits were taken inside, who would dare step forward to fight for them?Many could not help but curse in frustration, and even Albert stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded for a long while.Shall we still go? Euphemia halted her steps and asked him.Albert let out a helpless sigh, feeling a severe headache coming on.He had no idea what to do now.Nor was h

The chaotic battle had come to a halt. With the deaths of Jesse and Ian, the overall situation had taken a drastic turn for the worse.The members of the Langman Supreme Clan wore utterly gloomy looks, utterly devastated. Trembles swept over their bodies the moment they laid eyes on Ian’s headless corpse, stirred by both towering rage and sheer terror.They could never have imagined that Ian, their most powerful clansman, would meet his end right here.It can’t be true… It just can’t be true, Pace muttered in a trembling voice, his face drained of all color and his eyes filled with dread.He could not fathom how Ian, a powerhouse of the Intermediate Heavenly Spirit Realm, could be severely wounded by Albert and then finished off with a single staff strike by Euphemia who seized the opening.Karl’s expression was also extremely dark. No one had expected such an outcome. For over a decade, it had always been the Langman Supreme Clan suppressing the Martin Supreme Clan. Never had they su

Ian swallowed the healing pill, his face deathly pale and his inner soul power in utter turmoil. Clearly, Albert’s arrow had left him gravely injured.Damn it! Damn that bastard Albert! Once all this is over, I will make sure he dies a miserable death! I’ll teach him that even the most peerless geniuses can meet an early end! Ian growled in a low voice, his eyes blazing with rage and venomous hatred.Being severely wounded by Albert in full view of everyone had pushed his fury to the extreme.Retreat quickly... Ian gritted his teeth and spoke. Yet in the next moment, he seemed to sense imminent danger and shouted sharply, Look out!The instant his voice faded, a figure darted out like a ghost from the void on his right. Nine brilliant celestial stars hovered behind her, absorbing spiritual energy between heaven and earth.Euphemia! Panic surged through Ian’s heart.Holding the Green Bamboo Serpent Staff in her hand, Euphemia wore a calm, emotionless expression on her fair and beautifu
