It took a while for Elijah to finally recognize the old man from three days ago.At the Elorix Hotel lobby, he had used the Heaven-Piercing Needle technique to revive the dying old man.He didn't think much of it at the time and only stepped in to save a man who would have been thrown into the mortuary by a reckless, arrogant doctor."Have you been in good health?" Elijah asked the old man politely.Mr. Montclair let out a good laugh and explained, "I have been in good health. You might not know, but I suffered from spinal fatigue after a terrible fall as a child. My family doctors never found a way to help me for years. After you helped me, the fatigue is gone, and even my private physicians have carried out various tests on me to understand how it's possible. They didn't think there was a solution. I just have to rest for a few days and I'll be fully recovered. Old age is getting on me already."Elijah nodded knowingly. Even though the fatigue was gone, the man was really old."Mr.

The DiLaurentis apartment in the Estate was quiet that night except for the faint noise coming from the TV in the living room.Elijah, who had just come through the door, paused to see Richard, who was engrossed in watching the programme on TV."Son-in-law, you are back. I was beginning to get worried," He said with concern."I have a lot to learn as an apprentice," Elijah told him, and Richard simply nodded in response. He resumed watching the programme.Meanwhile, at the Diamond Pharmaceutical conference hall, Evelyn Davidson was yet to return to the stage, so hushed conversations continued among those in the building—especially among the journalists, who would cling to any gossip."Derma Pharmaceutical really didn't show up. Why submit a proposal in the first place?" One asked.Another journalist snorted coldly. "Some small companies really think highly of themselves. I'm just hearing about them for the first time today."A male photographer decided to chirp in. "Other small pharm

Backstage, Evelyn slowly approached and saw the old Mr. Montclair wiping tears from his eyes.She was taken aback. "Boss...?"The old man turned to her and pointed at the corner of the screen where a particular footage was on a replay loop."Evelyn, did you see them together? How perfect and lovely they looked…"She couldn't believe her ears. Was this old man getting emotional right now?"Boss, didn't you want that doctor for the young miss?"She recalled that her boss had not only been prepared to have his savior's name written in his will—he wanted the young miss, Lilian, to be married to the man.The old man sniffed and explained to her, "Haven't I told you yet? He rejected her too. He clearly stated that marriage was out of the question; then he'd consider the other matter. Now I understand perfectly well, he has a partner and he's loyal. He had the chance to deceive me and pretend to want our Lilian, but he didn't. This is who we need in Diamond Pharmaceutical, Evelyn."She sighe

When Serena arrived at the apartment, her relatives had already left, but her parents appeared to still be arguing about the matter. Rosalie sat to the side, scrolling through her device and choosing not to involve herself.“Sweet Serena, you are back? Is the matter solved now?” Margaret asked as she quickly moved to get up.Serena sighed in exhaustion and said, “I don't think Grandpa is ready to do anything. He asked me to go to bed.”“What?” Margaret's body shook with rage. “Does old age cause people to make wrong decisions? Not only has he forced you to marry that spineless idiot, he would watch our DiLaurentis family fall?”“Why do you have to jump to conclusions always? Master DiLaurentis has always watched this family—why would he—” Richard was trying to speak when he was quickly interrupted by his wife.“Did I ask you to speak? Let me tell you, that old man is making the wrong decision and it's up to our Serena to set things right,” Margaret said sternly.“Is our son-in-law al

"Grandpa, I just called the Blackwoods and they deny responsibility for the attacks on our facilities. They only summoned the Shadowless Ghost Duo to deal with the brazen expert known as Elijah Langston."Another of the old man's grandchildren stood up to announce, "Grandpa, I just spoke with the patriarch of the Wexler family. They claim they are busy gathering the full strength of their recently purchased private security company to deal with the insolent bastard who crashed their birthday event last night. This is not their doing."Yet a third grandchild announced, "Father, I spoke with the matriarch of the Ainsworths. They are our allies and have always used their media to cover for us, they have no reason to start trouble. Moreover, they only have government security, not private experts capable of carrying out strategic attacks.""The Ainsworths can't be involved. I'm always in contact with them. They even helped me with a little thing yesterday..." Anthony Lancaster chirped in
