The morning sunlight began to pierce through the shattered windows of the hall, marking the end of the longest night in the history of Nan She Province.After spending the rest of the night plotting the strategy for the power takeover and dictating the speech points the Governor had to deliver, Fang Zhe rose from the mahogany chair he had been occupying.Right then, his phone vibrated. A name appeared on the screen—it was a call from Siska."Young Master," Siska’s voice came through, filled with a tone of restrained triumph. "The systematic acquisition process went perfectly. With General Guan's influence collapsing in the stock market, all of their strategic assets in Nan She Province have been successfully moved under the banner of the Divine Alchemist shop. We now hold control over the energy and pharmaceutical supply chains in this province."Fang Zhe gave a thin smile, his sharp gaze fixed on the horizon. "Good work, Siska. This time, I will personally create thousands of pills t

Aunt Mei and Irma locked eyes before turning back to Fang Zhe with a gaze intense enough to melt even the most stubborn glacier. They didn't budge an inch from the God Alchemist's presence."Three days? Zhe’er, are you joking?" Aunt Mei stood with her hands on her hips; her usually warm, motherly aura had shifted into a sharp, demanding command."This province is on the brink of war, and you’re telling us to wait? I refuse to be a sitting duck for that Pavilion a moment longer. Give us those techniques now!"Irma stepped forward as well, her beautiful face etched with burning resolve."Young Master, medically speaking, delayed curiosity can lead to oxidative stress! I’ve seen the way you work, and my soul... my soul refuses to return to a normal life without that power. Please, do not leave us waiting in uncertainty."Fang Zhe pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling more pressured by these two women than he had when facing five thousand soldiers the night before. "Cultivation is not a

Juliant immediately pulled out his tactical tablet, his fingers moving with frantic precision as he searched for the final data transmitted by his family’s intelligence unit before they were all silenced forever. "Here, Young Master," Juliant said, handing over the screen which displayed a flashing red GPS coordinate. "Liora’s last signal was detected at an abandoned industrial complex on the outskirts of Shange City. It’s Sector 7, the Black Warehouse. All the detectives I sent there... their signals went dark exactly at the gate of the complex." Fang Zhe paused. He took a long breath, letting the air saturated with the scent of pills fill his lungs. At the same time, a hollow laugh escaped his lips. "Tch!" "Shange City?" Fang Zhe murmured, his eyes staring blankly at the pile of golden pills before him. "I just left that small town yesterday to set foot in this Nan She Province, seeking a bigger stage. Now, before the sun has even set twice, I have to go back?" He shook his hea

Wamal Yaris slowly placed the porcelain teacup onto the table. The soft clink of ceramic meeting teakwood sounded in sharp contrast to the suffocating atmosphere. He curled his lips into a thin smile, looking at Juliant with a gaze full of pity, as if watching an insect struggling in a spider’s web."Afraid to die?" Wamal chuckled, his tone deeply condescending. "Juliant, you are still trapped in that archaic mindset of your Gerva family. In this world, money and political power are merely the skin. The true core is strength."He waved his hand toward the masked man at his side."Meet Elder Han, my personal protector from the Han family in Shuan province. A Cultivator who has surpassed the limits of ordinary men," Wamal said proudly. "So, Juliant, save your bluffs. A single flick of Elder Han’s finger is enough to erase the Gerva name from this city's history.""The Han family... How is it possible that a family so esteemed, recognized even as a family of superhumans in this country,

The helicopter engines continued to roar, slicing through the thin clouds above the vast wilderness that separated Shange City and Nan She Province.As Fang Zhe sat there with his eyes closed, he suddenly remembered something. He opened his system panel virtually, his translucent fingers scrolling through a list of missions he had ignored during the earlier chaos.His eyes locked onto a mission with a glowing red tag.> [ Mission: Seizing the Ancient Blood Pool from Martial Arts Clans ]> Description: In the heart of this forbidden forest, a rare natural phenomenon is occurring. A Blood Pool containing the earth's essence for a thousand years is about to emerge.> Objective: Seize and purify the Blood Pool before it is taken by wild beasts or members of expert martial arts families.> Reward: 10,000 Points.Ten thousand points? That figure made Fang Zhe’s eyes glint again. Compared to the two thousand points he received for saving Liora, this mission was far more lucrative, though the
