Lord Bramasta drew a long breath, the lines of anxiety on his face impossible to hide despite being one of the most influential men in Shange City. He stepped closer, locking eyes with Fang Zhe in a gaze so solemn it seemed as if he were trying to calculate the weight of the life the young man was gambling with."Fang Zhe, listen to me carefully," Lord Bramasta said in a low, emphatic tone."Destroying the elite forces of the Pavilion of Heavenly Luck and bringing Kuro to his knees is an impossible feat for an ordinary human. However, you must understand that Luna is not merely the owner of a luxury casino. She is the face of a far darker network. The person behind Luna... the figure she often refers to as the 'Great Master,' is a mystery that even the provincial police and military are reluctant to touch."Lord Bramasta paused for a moment, his eyes flickering toward Uncle Lu and Bimo, who lay weak on their beds."I do not know who he truly is, but rumors say he has access to forbidd

The light of dawn began to peek from behind the horizon of Shange City, piercing through the thin curtains on the balcony of the Bramasta residence. Inside the room, the air felt much warmer than the chilly morning air outside.A dense, fragrant medicinal aroma—a blend of snowy freshness, ancient floral scents, and deep earthy tones—filled every corner of the room, spilling out into the hallways of the pavilion.In the center of the room, Fang Zhe remained sitting cross-legged. His face, pale from mental exhaustion, was now illuminated by the golden glow of the Eternal Dragon Furnace, which still hummed at a low frequency. Around him, hundreds of crystal containers that were originally empty were now filled to the brim with pill beads that shimmered like gemstones."System... stop the process," Fang Zhe whispered hoarsely.*DIIIIIING![Mass Production Mode deactivated.

The sun began to set over the western horizon of Shange City, leaving behind an orange glow reflected on the marble pillars of the Alchemist God shop.Below, the line of customers still stretched on, but Fang Zhe had already signaled Siska to close the afternoon sales session.The energy in the place felt incredibly dense—a fusion of human excitement, the roar of machinery, and the Qi aura continuously emitted by Fang Zhe to maintain the building’s stability.Right as the clock struck seven in the evening, another miracle of civil engineering occurred. The steel structure of the second floor, which had been nothing more than an empty frame earlier that day, was now completely enclosed with soundproof composite panels and emerald-tinted tempered glass.The contractor sent by Mr. Bramasta had truly performed a miracle; the second floor was completed in less than twelve hours.“Young Master, the second floor is ready for use,” reported the project foreman, his face dulled by dust but his

Julian Gerva halted the motion of his wine glass. His sharp eyes narrowed, attempting to pierce through the man’s silver mask.As the heir to a titan family, Julian possessed a potent instinct for danger, and the man before him radiated an aura of "zero"—a void only achieved by those who have reached the pinnacle of energy control."Who are you?!" the Zhao family aide barked once more, stepping forward to block the path. "How dare you ignore my question! Security! Drag this madman out!"However, before the aide's hand could touch Fang Zhe’s black robe, a subtle yet sharp ripple of Qi spread outward.Braaaack!The aide was sent sprawling backward, crashing into a serving table until crystal plates shattered into pieces."Your mouth is too noisy for a room that is supposed to be filled with dignity," Fang Zhe’s voice rang out—heavy, rasping, and full of authority, thanks to the manipulation of Qi on his vocal cords.Young Master Zhao, who had been standing beside Julian, suddenly froze

Fang Zhe stood tall, his black robe seeming to absorb all the fury radiating from Julian Gerva.Julian’s threat to cut off the supply of herbal materials did not make Fang Zhe tremble—instead, it triggered a cold laugh that made the hairs on the Gerva elite guards stand on end.“Cutting off my herbal supply?”Wuuuush!Fang Zhe stepped forward. The calm Qi aura around him began to surge, creating a chilling pressure that caused the glasses on the dining table to partially freeze.“Julian, you act as if the entire medical world is a chessboard under your control. You threaten my supply? Go ahead and try. But remember this: the moment you shut off the flow of herbs to the God Alchemist, you are actually choking your own family’s lifeline.”Julian Gerva clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.“You’re too arrogant! We control eighty percent of the herbal market in this province. With a single call from me, not a single ginseng root will enter Shange City for you!”“Then do it,”
