"I know how you feel, Ms. Harmon. But the effects of the poison are too strong. "I've tried everything, but nothing worked. I'm really sorry." Linden sighed. He cared a lot about Dustin and even planned to make Dustin his successor. It was unfortunate that Dustin had been poisoned with an incurable poison."T—that's impossible!" Natasha began to panic. Nobody stood a chance if even Linden was unable to cure Dustin."Hang on!" Natasha suddenly recalled something. "Dr. Watkins, I heard Stoneray Order has a magical herb called 'Resurgathorn'. It can revive someone when mixed with a secret recipe. Is that true?""Resurgathorn?" Linden frowned when he heard this. "Ms. Harmon, that is something that is forbidden. We mustn't use it.""Why not? Are you worried that we won't be able to pay up?" Natasha was anxious. "It has nothing to do with money." Linden shook his head before explaining, "Resurgathorn isn't a medical herb. Rather, it's a highly potent poison that's difficult t

From agonizing pain to reaching death, Linden carefully watched the entire process. He felt that Dustin needed to know how far Natasha would go for the person she loved. Dustin was dumbstruck after hearing Linden explain the event. He never imagined that Natasha was willing to sacrifice herself to save him. At this moment, he finally understood his feelings for her. Still, there was no way he could accept her feelings for him if it led to something like this. "Mr. Rhys, Ms. Harmon left this letter for you. Please read it." Conflicted, Linden cautiously passed Dustin a letter. No one had ever impressed him as Natasha did. After all, even grandmasters might not be able to handle the unbearable pain. Yet, an ordinary woman could withstand the pain without complaining and did so without regret. She was fearless.Linden couldn't imagine how much Natasha must love Dustin for her to go so far. Linden had already given up on Dustin.But Natasha made him realize that, sometimes, e

Five decades ago, Linden had barely started gaining fame while Iris was already a household name. He had the honor of meeting that impressive woman once."Iris Meskill? Jade Maiden Sisterhood?" Surprised, Dustin asked, "Dr. Watkins, do you know where her tomb is?""That's why I said this is impossible," Linden sighed. "Since her death, many have searched for her tomb, yet no one has succeeded. It basically doesn't exist!""Just because no one could find it doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Dustin answered firmly. "I'll find a way to find the Shadowbloom. If I fail, I'll have no choice but to break into the Mystic Arts Order!""Are you crazy? You'd be walking into the lion's den!" Linden paled. "That's nothing compared to Natasha sacrificing her life to save mine." Dustin had a determined gaze."But …" Linden was at a loss for words. "Dr. Watkins, how much longer can Natasha hold on for?" Dustin asked."That's hard to tell. I'd say anywhere from three days to half a month.

Taken aback, Nikki forced a smile. "Madam Edith, I've got good eyes. I might be useful.""No thanks!" Edith frowned in annoyance. "Having Brittany around will be enough. Leave.""But—" Nikki stopped talking when Edith glared at her. The older woman snapped, "What? Are you going to defy me?""Of course not." Nikki lowered her head and bit her lower lip. "Get out!" Nikki was irritated."I'll take my leave." With a nod, Nikki left reluctantly. Her gaze showed her discontent and resentfulness. She couldn't believe that despite all her contributions, Edith still didn't trust her. It was as if Nikki was an outsider. Yet, without her, Edith wouldn't have obtained the scripture and discovered its secrets.Nikki couldn't understand why Edith would not acknowledge her hard work and favor her.Worst, instead of receiving Edith's thanks, all Nikki got was Edith's anger thrown at her. Nikki gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, displeased. Once she left the villa, she grab

Apparently, the location of Iris Meskill's tomb had finally been found. It was rumored to be in the Black Forest. When the news got out, many martial artists rushed to Lester to try their luck. After all, such opportunities were rare.Meanwhile, in a sedan heading toward Lester, Dustin stared out the window, lost in thought. Abigail sat beside him, chatting nonstop. "Dr. Watkins told you to take care of yourself and take your medicine on time. Remember not to use your true energy, or it could mess you up inside," she said. "Also, I have no idea who leaked news about Iris Meskill's tomb, but many people are going after the treasure now. So, the competition's going to be tough."Oh, and one more thing. Last night, some skilled person broke into the alliance's prison and rescued Spring Hill. "The alliance sent people to catch him, but no luck so far," Abigail reported as she scrolled through her messages.Dustin, who had been zoning out, finally responded, "Spring Hill escaped?
