**Chapter 2** Draven stood motionless on the hospital steps as Sophia Laurent walked straight toward him. Her elegant heels clicked sharply against the marble with every confident step. The entire crowd fell into a stunned silence. No one expected the famous ice queen CEO to pay any attention to a beaten intern who had just been thrown out like garbage. Yet here she was stopping only a few feet away from him her sharp beautiful eyes studying his face with open curiosity. Sophia’s presence carried a natural pressure that made even Zhao Jun straighten his back. She was known across the city as an untouchable goddess of business. Cold ruthless and impossibly successful at only twenty six years old. Rumors said she had rejected every rich heir who ever tried to pursue her. Now she was looking at Draven as if the rest of the world had disappeared. “You,” she said her voice smooth and commanding. “What exactly happened here.” Before Draven could answer Zhao Jun stepped forward with a fo

**Chapter 4**I stood frozen for a split second as those heavy knocks echoed through the luxurious suite like a death sentence. My Divine Diagnosis Eye was already scanning the hallway outside. Five elite agents from the City Shadow Bureau. All of them trained killers with years of experience and equipment that could make normal people disappear without a trace. They knew about Sophia’s secret research into new medicines and now they saw me as an unpredictable threat who had just taken down a professional assassin in minutes.Sophia’s hand tightened on my arm. Her face had gone pale but her eyes burned with determination. “Draven, those knocks are their standard code. They only use it when they plan to take someone in quietly. We cannot fight the Shadow Bureau openly. They control too much power behind the scenes.”I turned to her and gave a confident smile even as adrenaline surged through my veins. “We will not fight them head on. Stay behind me and trust what I am about to do. The

**Chapter 6** I stood on the private terrace with Sophia wrapped tightly around me as the night wind whipped around us. The golden aura from my breakthrough to Immortal Doctor Realm stage one still lingered faintly on my skin. Elder Xuan had escaped but not before I shattered his pride and crippled his cultivation temporarily. Yet the System warning kept echoing in my mind. The top ten hidden families and ancient sects were now watching me. They knew something ancient and powerful had awakened in this city and they wanted it for themselves. Sophia lifted her head from my shoulder and looked up at me with eyes full of complete devotion. Her cheeks were still flushed from the battle and the way her body pressed against mine sent heat racing through every refined muscle I now possessed. “Draven that was incredible. I have never seen anyone stand against a true cultivator like that and win. From this moment my entire pharmaceutical empire is yours. My board my researchers my wealth. Eve

**Chapter 8**I stood tall in the middle of the chaotic hospital lobby with Sophia pressed firmly against my back and the stunning Saintess now standing at my side. The air crackled with tension as the elite enforcers from the combined hidden families glared at us with murderous intent. Their leader, the middle-aged man radiating peak Core Formation power, raised his hand and roared, “You dare involve the Eternal Cloud Sect in this? That girl is just one person. We will crush all three of you right here.”His words made my blood surge with power. The new Plague Domain ability hummed inside my veins like a living weapon ready to be unleashed. Sophia’s hand tightened on my shirt while the Saintess glanced at me with those piercing ancient eyes. I could feel her evaluating me, testing whether I was truly worthy of her protection.Before anyone else could move I stepped forward and let my Immortal Doctor Realm aura explode outward. The Medical Sovereign pressure slammed into every single
