He dropped the soda halfway through and let it slip from his hand.“You better stop now. You’re hurting my friends for no reason,” he said.Mrs Demlows noticed that Baltimore and Eric were indeed in terrible shape, while Samuel did not appear to be truly affected by her aura. At most, he could sense it, but not the way they did. So she chose to stop.“Speak now. If you don’t tell me how you know, you won’t be leaving here alive,” she said coldly.“Well, it’s not my fault I noticed it. It was yours. When you projected your aura on me the first time we met, I felt it,” he replied.“Impossible.” She shook her head. She had met many divine doctors, and not one of them had managed to deduce anything from her aura alone.“I’m very serious,” he continued. “But you’re right. An ordinary divine doctor wouldn’t be able to infer it. I was taught the best type of medicine in the world. My level may not be high, but at my level, my expertise is far beyond everyone else’s, and my methods are more a

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Supreme Grade Superior Golden Core Breakthrough Pill,” the host finally announced.“Before we proceed with the auction, I would like to explain the uses of this pill. Yes, I know you must have heard the rumors, but those were only rumors, hehe.” He chuckled.“This guy makes lame jokes and still laughs at them. Maybe he should stop trying to make any at all,” Eric complained.Meanwhile, the host continued. “This pill, when taken by any Golden Core Realm expert, will automatically help them break through one level. We have already verified it and are certain of its effects. However, it has a small limitation. If you take it for the first time, you are guaranteed a one hundred percent breakthrough.“The second time, your body will already be half immune to it. You can only break through if you are at the peak of that level. For example, if you are a level six Golden Core Realm expert, you must be at the peak grade of level six. Not low grade, not middle grade,

The one who entered was Fahad. He looked at Samuel in confusion.“Divine Doctor Sam, you?”“No, it’s not my private box, Fahad,” he replied calmly.Fahad nodded in understanding and said nothing.“Do you two know each other?” Amelia asked curiously.“Yes. I told you my item was up,” he replied casually.Everything was settled, and Fahad left. The auction continued. Most of the items did not catch Samuel’s eye, but he still bid on a few more, bringing his total spending close to two billion.“You are rich. What family are you from?” the Fire Empress asked curiously. To her, even though Samuel was powerful, he was still very young and could not be throwing around such an amount without the backing of a powerful family.Besides, with such talent, he would not have survived this long without strong support behind him.“Me? I’m not from any family. My parents are late,” he replied casually.“Oh. Didn’t they have family before they died?” she asked.“They did. But I was disowned because I’m

“This old man, the Blood Emperor, feels he has been disrespected far too many times. I need this pill. Anyone who dares follow me and bid against me again, I will find you. Do not think you can hide. When I find you, you will pay dearly.” The man in seat number 55 seemed to have completely lost control.No one afforded him any respect, and even the names he once invoked to get what he wanted were useless today.This pill was crucial because of his internal injury. Only he knew that his time was running out. With it, he could extend his life. He had hoped that achieving a breakthrough would help, which was why he wanted the first pill. But a breakthrough was never certain. It was far from guaranteed and could easily make matters worse.That was why he had not been willing to spend more than necessary to obtain it.This pill, however, was different. It could directly cure his internal injury. He had wagered the last of his money on it. He was not wealthy to begin with, which was why he

The host was called back in and returned a few minutes later.“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the delay. According to the owner of the pill, he will only accept Empire Entertainment valued at fifty billion, which means you will have to pay an additional one hundred billion.”“What the!”The crowd was stunned.Fifty billion for a company worth one hundred and ten billion? This was, by far, the most absurd thing they had ever heard.“Hehe, serves the Grandels right,” the Fire Empress laughed.“But the owner of the pill is very heartless,” Amelia said.Baltimore and Eric exchanged meaningful glances with Samuel.Meanwhile, back at the auction—“What nonsense are you saying? What kind of greed is this? Tell the owner that—”“Mr. Grandels, if you are not accepting it, the bid will go to Number 88. You do not have to accept it. That is perfectly fine,” the host cut him off sharply, leaving him no room to bargain.A few seconds of silence passed before the Grandels responded.“We acce

"Alright. Give me all the energy stones. Then take twelve billion from the remaining one hundred and forty-two billion in cash and send it to me.""Alright. That can be done." Fahad nodded. He must have accumulated enough energy stones throughout his life and had no interest in dragging the matter out with Samuel.Soon, Samuel received the alert. One hundred and thirty billion.A smile crept across his face before he even realized it. This was the richest he had ever been in his life. And this was exactly the moment to go beast mode on his project.His mission here in Burusia was complete. He would have Baltimore prepare a flight for them before afternoon.It was already morning, one a.m. He would head straight to Amelia's family mansion.It was a mansion they had purchased when they arrived in Burusia two days ago. Instead of staying in a hotel, they bought a high-end, luxurious property. Samuel had been shocked when he first heard about it.At first, he thought they were regular vis

He could feel strongly about something and still maintain control. That was natural, not a talent.“Mrs Demlows, sit on the bed so I can take a closer look at your wound.”He had already pinpointed the exact location. Near her abdomen, a visible black patch lingered, and beside it rested a small earring. He recognized the earring as an artifact similar to Ugadi's cufflink, though it likely operated differently.Either way, both ensured that the black energy in that spot did not spread.The fire Empress studied him, her eyes glinting.She had clearly seen how moved he was when he first laid eyes on her. It had been written all over his face.Yet the change had come swiftly and without warning.In an instant, he turned serious, his expression becoming completely unreadable. His composure was remarkable. He had earned another point in her eyes. Perhaps allowing him to date her daughter was not such a bad idea.A man capable of mastering his emotions was rare and valuable.She lay back, a

Two days later.They had been two days of hell for Samuel. It was a good thing he had managed to devour the consciousness within the black energy. He realized that the consciousness had made the attack far more vicious and wild, so eliminating it had been the best decision.While devouring it, he began receiving completely scattered fragments of memories. He could not piece them together or make sense of them, but one thing was certain. The memories belonged entirely to another world, judging from the scenes he witnessed.When he finally woke up, he felt stronger. At last, the pain had been rewarded. He examined his body first. It had improved slightly, though not by much. Then he sensed his qi and found it at the peak of the third level of the Golden Core realm.Now that he was in the Golden Core realm, it was noticeably more difficult for his cultivation to advance compared to when he had been in Core Formation and below.He finally rose from the bed and immediately recognized the p

“Did you say you bought it for fifty billion?” she asked in disbelief.“Yes. Read further and you’ll see it. Anyway, get good lawyers. Tony will help you. He knows people,” he said.“Alright, I will. How’s your island?” she asked curiously.“I think it’s going well, even though I haven’t gone there yet. Now that you mention it, I’ll be going soon. Nina said that maybe in a month’s time I’ll be able to begin production of the weight loss pill,” he replied.The TV in the office was airing a news broadcast. The reporter was talking about the kidnapping of the president’s only daughter.That reminded Samuel of an app Eric had installed on his phone some time ago, one that connected to the supernatural network.He opened the app and navigated to the news section to check if there was anything about the president’s daughter.What he had heard from Eric was confirmed. The president was indeed offering a generous reward to whoever saved his daughter, along with a government position.He had a

The helicopter headed confidently toward the island, descending in a slow, controlled glide. By the time it touched down, it was already surrounded.“I can’t help but imagine what you would’ve done to me if I were an intruder,” Samuel laughed as he stepped out of the chopper.“It’s you.” Nina’s eyes lit up.“Yes, it’s me. Are you just going to stand there and stare at me?” he asked with a faint frown.Nina held the hem of her skirt and lowered her gaze shyly. She wasn’t wearing her usual purple robe today. Instead, she wore a simple red flowing skirt and a white shirt, a random combination that somehow made her look irresistibly cute.Seeing her hesitation, Thesa sauntered over and hugged him. The moment she pressed against him, he felt a stir in the tattoo on his left hand.He stiffened in surprise. The black fox had not moved in a long time. He had even begun to forget it existed.But it did not emerge. The movement stopped almost as suddenly as it had begun. He exhaled and unconsci
