Inside a luxury hotel room, a telephone was ringing in the living room of what could only be described as a presidential suite.Samuel emerged from the bathroom and, hearing the telephone ring, adjusted the towel around his waist before walking into the living room to answer the call.He picked up the receiver, and the voice that came through belonged to old man Jefferson Kingston."Come home, Samuel. It appears Hudson Chemist Store is not who we thought they were."Samuel's expression darkened slightly.What could Hudson Chemist Store possibly be for the old man to ask him to return home immediately?"I think I have them under control. Yes, they're stubborn, but—""Have you checked the news?"Old man Jefferson cut him off.Before Samuel could respond, the old man spoke again."When you do, come back home immediately.We can't discuss the rest over the phone."The call ended.Samuel's brow furrowed deeply.He immediately opened his social media feed to check the latest news concerning

Michael and the security guard both turned toward the direction the voice had come from.The person who had spoken was Master Baker.He was carrying a jug with a plant growing in it."Yes, I am Michael Mason."Michael replied as he studied Master Baker's facial expression, but it was unreadable.Master Baker also observed Michael for a moment before speaking."Follow me."Master Baker said as he took the lead.He led Michael to another section of the manor and instructed the security guard to remain at the entrance.The room was an old dojo, and its entrance was a wide double door that had to be opened with both hands.When Master Baker pushed the doors open, Old Master Baker was revealed sitting on a wooden chair. Beside him was a stool holding a medicinal coffee known to ease pain and, more importantly, calm worries."You may come in."Master Baker said after opening the door.Michael stepped inside, and Old Master Baker immediately spoke."And who is this you have brought to me, Si

Michael's words stunned Old Master Baker and Simon Bones."What do you mean by those words?"Old Master Baker's expression immediately darkened when Michael said that, but Michael paid no attention to either his expression or reaction.He simply poured himself another cup of coffee and took a slow sip."This is not something to joke about."Simon finally spoke as well, his expression completely deadpan."I will be able to heal your daughter, but not permanently. She will be able to live for another week, or at least a month."Michael was still speaking when Old Master Baker cut him off."What is the point of her living for another week in the pain she's already in? Or even a month?We would only be putting her through more suffering if we did such a thing."Simon couldn't believe what Michael had just said. He calmly responded."You haven't even seen her. If you had, you wouldn't have said that."Simon stood up at that moment and spoke immediately."Mr. Michael, I'm afraid we don't wa

Old Master Baker and Simon were stunned on the spot when they saw the reaction Clara was giving.She had never turned to face the door whenever it opened before.They wondered whether it was because she was in too much pain and wanted to see their faces one last time, or if she was attracted to the young man who had just entered.Michael slowly approached Clara at that moment. Clara's eyes remained fixed on him as he squatted in front of her.Now that Michael was face to face with her, he could tell that Clara was simply unfortunate.Out of all the diseases in the world, this particular one was the one running through her family's bloodline, and it just happened to awaken within her.Not only that, it was ten times worse than it should have been. That was why Old Master Baker never knew that their daughter was suffering from an ancestral disease.Michael placed his hand on Clara's forehead, and he could tell that she was reaching the end. Most of her vital organs had already been dama

Michael, Old Master Baker, and Simon all sat down in Old Master Baker's office.Old Master Baker and Simon were seated in the main chairs, while Michael sat in the visitor's chair."So, what are you looking for?" Old Master Baker asked.He had asked himself this question a thousand times already, yet he still couldn't think of anything the Baker family might possess that a Heavenly Master would be interested in.Michael was silent for a while before responding."In June 2021, some people who were not citizens of this country came into Autumnvale.They arrived with weapons and various enhancement items that were not registered in the country's system.Those people were allowed into Autumnvale by the Baker family because you were the don of the underground society at the time.You brought those people in and helped them with their operations."Old Master Baker's eyebrows slowly furrowed. He was taking Michael's words seriously because Michael had clearly done thorough research on them.
