“He really is Christopher.”Dominic’s eyes bulged in disbelief before he let out a stiff laugh. “You don’t have to lie to protect his pride, Mr. Christopher.”Louis looked at him with open disdain. “What kind of fool would hand over a company to a woman if she were not family?”Dominic fell silent.“And what kind of fool would shower someone with millions of dollars? Even if a man loves a woman deeply, he would not go that far. My lord did all that because Luna is Christopher’s sister. And Zane is Christopher,” Louis explained without hesitation.Zane stepped closer. “So, what will it be? An apology, or death right here?”Dominic’s throat went dry.“I did not blow up your office only because your son agreed to meet me,” Zane continued coldly.“F forgive me, Mr. Christopher. I did not know it was you. My son was foolish.”“I will not forgive you so easily.” Zane’s voice sharpened. “You will return the money Victor stole from my mother after investing it in your company. One thousand ti

Alymer smirked. He had spent years experimenting to create advanced medicines. There was no way he would allow himself to fail.Gianna winced softly as the needle pierced her skin. A wave of discomfort spread through her body.“What kind of medicine is this?” Gianna groaned. “My stomach is cramping so badly.”“What’s going on? Why is Gianna in pain?” Donald shouted.“Please calm down, Mr. Donald. That means the medicine is working,” Alymer replied with a smile.Donald tried to stay calm, but he could not when Gianna suddenly began to convulse.He grabbed Alymer by the collar. “What did you do to my fiancée? That cannot be a normal reaction!”“I I don’t know either. My medicine has never failed before.” Alymer trembled.“Damn it!” Donald punched him.“Is this the ability of a so called medical god?” Zane sneered.[A new mission has appeared: Heal your enemy][Reward: Life Energy Transfusion]What is that?“Zane, please help Gianna!” Ragnor begged anxiously.Zane stepped closer to Giann

“What is that?” Zane’s brows drew together, his gaze staying cold and unreadable.“I want to recruit you as my assistant with a salary of one million dollars per month. So? You’re interested, right? You could never earn that much money in your entire life.” Alymer smiled with full confidence. A poor man would never be able to refuse that amount of money, especially when he was also being ordered to kill someone.“I refuse.” Zane turned away and continued walking.Alymer froze. That homeless man had just rejected him?He hurried after Zane. “Wait a minute! You have to be joking. Why would you refuse my offer when you’re poor?”Zane stopped and looked at him with an icy stare. “I don’t need money right now. You can give that offer to someone else.”Then he walked away again, leaving Alymer burning with anger.“I’ll make you accept it, Zane. I’ll do anything to get what I want,” Alymer muttered darkly.***Zane pushed open the door to Maria’s hospital room and found Luna and his mother p

“What is it, Zane?” Luna frowned in confusion, her innocent eyes studying his face. “You look upset.”“It’s nothing,” Zane snapped, not taking his eyes off the transparent screen hovering in front of him.‘I just recovered, and now you’re telling me to lift weights? Twenty kilograms? Are you kidding me?’[You have 24 hours remaining][If you fail, your life will be reset and your wealth will disappear]‘Damn it! I’m still level one, and the mission is already this hard!’ Zane cursed inwardly.“Zane? Are you really okay? Should I call a doctor?” Luna asked anxiously.“I’m fine.” Zane pushed the blanket off his body and sat up. “Argh.” He grabbed his shoulder wound.‘Damn it! It hurts so much!’“The doctor said you need plenty of rest. Why won’t you listen to me?” Luna protested as she tried to help him lie back down.“Sorry, Luna. I have to go…” Zane insisted on leaving, even though the pain gnawed at him.“Hey! Where are you going?”Zane ignored her and hurried into a taxi before Luna
Chapter 185
Zane weighed his options in silence. If he accepted Alden’s challenge, his injuries would only worsen. In his current condition, finishing the mission was already uncertain. Sparring with Alden would turn uncertainty into impossibility.Alden clearly had more combat experience than the others. It showed in the way his men lowered their heads when he spoke.“I already told you. I don’t want to fight you.”“You are truly arrogant. Do you think you are better than me?” Alden growled, his pride visibly wounded.“I just found out that a taekwondo master can be a coward for challenging someone who is injured.”Zane turned toward the crowd behind Alden. They parted, making way for someone.“You…?” Zane blinked. He had almost forgotten her. “Laura… you are here?”“Do not interfere, bitch. You are only a woman!” Alden shouted. “If it were not for Mr Owen’s mercy, you would never have entered Belmont Fight.”“Watch your mouth,” Zane warned, his gaze sharpening.Alden laughed slyly when he saw Z

“Argh! Why does my shoulder hurt more?”Cold sweat soaked Zane’s temples. Every breath felt like thousands of needles stabbing into his lungs.Alden’s attack earlier did not leave an obvious wound, but the internal damage was far worse than he had expected.The transparent screen in front of him flashed with a bright blue light, reflecting in his narrowed pupils.[Level 1 Mission Has Appeared: Heal your injury within 60 minutes][Warning! If you fail, your life will be reset and your wealth will disappear][Reward: 20 SP]“Damn it…” Zane cursed, his voice hoarse. “You really do not give me time to breathe. How am I supposed to heal this wound in 60 minutes? That is impossible.”An idea suddenly crossed his mind.He had never used his medical attribute on himself before.Would it even work?Zane activated the Medical Intuition attribute. Instantly, his brain was flooded with anatomical data of his own body. He could see an internal image like an X ray of his cracked shoulder bone, frac

“You cannot fail, Zane!” he told himself.He forced his legs to step out of the house.His vision started to blur, and the system screen kept counting down with cold digital numbers floating in the air.[Time Remaining: 53 Minutes 05 Seconds]Zane got into a taxi. The car drove toward the place where Laura was waiting. But halfway there, traffic stopped completely.Damn!Zane pushed the door open and got out without paying. He ignored the taxi driver shouting curses behind him. He could not waste even one more second on the road.He staggered forward, forcing his way through the crowd on the sidewalk.“Argh!” Zane fell to his knees, clutching the wound on his shoulder.“Zane?”He lifted his head and saw someone standing in front of him.“Zeeva?”“What happened to you? Why are you groaning like that?”“Zeeva… help me…” His voice almost disappeared, swallowed by the angry horns of trapped cars.Zeeva froze when she saw his condition. Zane’s clothes were soaked with blood. His face was p

A bad feeling suddenly crawled up Zane’s spine.Just as he was about to speak, the transparent screen flashed again in front of his eyes.[Warning: 10 Minutes 14 Seconds until Life Reset!]“Shit!”Laura and Zane stepped into the elevator and went down to the basement floor.When the doors opened, a luxurious underground hall unfolded before him. The air was thick with expensive perfume, illegal drugs, and cigarette smoke. Crystal lights glittered above like a false sky, while laughter and murmurs echoed in the dimness.Two large men holding automatic weapons immediately blocked their path.“He is the prey our Master wants,” Laura said firmly. Her voice had changed. It was now cold and commanding.“What is the proof? You know the consequence of betrayal is only one thing. Death, Laura. You know the rule,” one of the guards replied.Zane coughed up blood. The system in his vision now blinked bright red.[Warning: 8 Minutes 00 Seconds until Life Reset!]He forced himself to stand straigh

“What do you want from me?” Kaiden asked coldly. His heavy voice echoed inside the soundproof room. His sharp eyes locked onto Zane, searching for even the smallest trace of a lie.Zane wiped the sweat from the corner of his lips. His body trembled slightly from the stabbing pain, but his gaze remained sharp.“Ten grams of Black Saffron Flower Extract and a fifty year old Red Ginseng Root,” Zane answered clearly.The room suddenly fell silent.The guards behind Laura exchanged glances. Kaiden frowned.The request sounded absurd coming from a man who was bleeding and standing at death’s door.[Warning: 03 Minutes 15 Seconds until Life Reset!]The system screen blinked bright red in front of Zane’s eyes, screaming the countdown of his death.“For what?” Kaiden leaned forward, a thin sneer forming on his scarred face. “You want to brew some miracle potion for that shoulder of yours? Do not joke with me, idiot. That ginseng is a treasure of The Vault. Its price is worth more than the live

“Bring me a pear.”A suffocating silence swallowed the underground room.Kaiden’s fists tightened.He had expected a complicated ritual. Some futuristic laser technology. At the very least, a rare chemical formula.Instead, what came out of Zane’s mouth sounded like a joke.“Bring me a pear,” Zane repeated flatly, as if he were asking for a glass of water.“What did you say? A pear?” Kaiden’s face flushed red with fury. The veins on his temples throbbed violently.He shot up from his golden chair and strode toward Zane with a murderous aura.“Are you tired of living?” Kaiden’s voice was low but heavy with threat. “I gave you a fifty year old Red Ginseng Root worth enough to buy an entire apartment block downtown. I gave you Black Saffron that only grows on forbidden mountain peaks. And now you are asking me for a pear?”BANG!Kaiden kicked the wooden table beside him, shattering it into pieces. The guards instantly cocked their weapons, aiming at Zane’s head from every direction.“I a
