Freya stood alone in her small office, her thoughts restless and unsteady. Elder Timothy still hadn’t been released.That alone unsettled her more than she wanted to admit. He was supposed to return and give her the next steps.He was the one who provided her father’s sight-restoration technique. He also gave her the enchantment charm that helped stabilize her weakened strength. Without him, her progress felt suspended, like a path cut off mid-way.But now, it was absolute silence.. Freya walked to the window, her reflection faint against the glass.The situation was no longer limited to her original objective. What started as a quiet attempt to undermine Adrian had escalated beyond expectation. The cultivator sects were involved. The Dragon Clan had appeared. Even the Elders Pavilion was now acting in ways she couldn’t easily interpret.Everything was moving without her control. She exhaled slowly.Maybe approaching Adrian directly was the only option left.If she could just get clos

Chapter 298Five days later, inside the Cole Conglomerate headquarters, Adrian was reviewing reports in his office when a knock sounded at the door."Come in."The door opened and Jeffrey walked in carrying a stack of documents."Good morning, Chairman Cole," he greeted professionally."Good morning, Manager Jeffrey," Adrian replied without looking up from his desk.Jeffrey approached and placed a file in front of him."This is one of the pending documents that was forwarded to me," he said. "It concerns Elena Graham."That name immediately caught Adrian's attention.Jeffrey continued, "She was previously working with the Anderson Group, but they suddenly canceled her project. The cancellation caused substantial losses to her company."He paused before adding, "She's been requesting approval for this proposal for quite some time now. From what I've gathered, it's been sitting in our system for weeks. I reviewed it personally and couldn't understand why it hasn't been approved."Adrian

Dragon clan Adrian Cole arrived at the Dragon Clan alongside Kai.The moment they stepped out of the car, a cool breeze brushed against their faces. White clouds drifted lazily across the sky, and the mountains surrounding the clan seemed to stretch endlessly into the horizon.Kai took a deep breath and looked around.."The atmosphere here feels different," he said.Adrian nodded. "You're right. Everything feels... peaceful."His eyes swept across the vast grounds. "Almost too peaceful for a place where they're talking about a possible war."Stone pathways wound through ancient buildings decorated with dragon carvings. The sound of flowing water echoed from nearby streams, while guards in traditional robes stood watch at various points throughout the clan.As Adrian and Kai approached the palace gates, rows of servants and attendants immediately bowed their heads."Welcome to the Dragon Clan, Chairman Cole," they greeted in unison.The voices echoed across the courtyard.Just then, mo

The First Prince, Harry, stepped forward."If you're willing to examine our father, Chairman Cole, we would truly appreciate it," he said, his voice filled with hope.Robert nodded immediately. "Yes, Chairman Cole. I didn't bring it up earlier because I thought it was unnecessary. The situation has become so severe that I wasn't even sure Father would survive much longer."Before Adrian could respond, Queen Dugan spoke. "What makes you think Chairman Cole can succeed where countless physicians have failed?" she asked, her tone carrying obvious skepticism.Robert frowned. "Queen Dugan, I think you should be more mindful of your words. The King is your husband. Shouldn't you be relieved that someone is finally willing to help him instead of questioning it?"The Queen's expression darkened slightly. "Queen Dugan, I'm sorry, but Robert is right," Prince Harry said firmly."Our father deserves every chance he can get."Prince Josh stepped forward as well. "If word gets out that we refused t

Stepping through the gates, Adrian took a slow breath as his eyes swept across the surroundings.The moment he entered, he could feel the difference.The atmosphere inside the royal grounds was far quieter than the rest of the palace. Ancient stone pathways stretched through beautifully maintained gardens, while towering structures designed in traditional Dragon Clan architecture stood proudly in the distance."This way, Chairman Cole," Prince Robert said as he led the group forward.They had barely taken a few steps when a voice suddenly echoed from behind them.."Father! Father! I can finally see him!"Everyone turned.A young woman dressed in elegant royal attire was running toward them with excitement written all over her face.Her usually graceful demeanor had completely disappeared.She looked like a daughter who had finally been given a chance to see her sick father again."That's the Princess," Prince Robert explained.Kai watched her sprinting forward and couldn't help shakin
