Chapter 1
The heavy bass from the mansion’s speakers throbbed in Leo’s chest as he touched the wooden bead in his pocket. It was a Soul-Nourishing Charm he had spent six months of his courier wages to buy.The martial hall his wife founded had just been promoted to a Silver-Grade Sect. They were throwing a massive gala to celebrate her rise, and this was his anniversary gift to her.But the moment he pushed open the double doors, the music cut out. A heavy silence filled the hall.Hundreds of elite guests turned to stare, their faces twisting with disgust.“Why is this trash here?” Marcus, Leo’s brother-in-law, sneered loudly. He let a flicker of Lightning Qi dance across his knuckles. “A courier with broken meridians doesn't belong at a Silver-Grade banquet.”The whispers and mocking laughs hit Leo like a physical punch. He stood still, letting out a quiet sigh.Three years ago, when he married Elena, she was a failing student. It was Leo who had secretly used his hidden connections to get

The voice on the line pulled Leo back into a past he had tried to bury.He remembered how his father had always been obsessed with him becoming a titan of industry. The old man hated Leo’s fascination with the Ancient Arts of Healing. Forced into the city’s most prestigious business academy, Leo had done the impossible—he finished top of his class. But on the day of the ceremony, he simply handed the degree to his father.“You wanted this. Now it’s yours. I’m done living your life,” Leo had said, walking away from the family mansion without a cent to his name.He had spent years traveling, finding the legendary Master of the Six-Path Needle, learning until his hands could bring men back from the brink of the grave. But his career ended in blood. A patient had died during a complicated soul-stitch, and his master had banned him from ever touching a needle again. Leo was certain his father had sabotaged the surgery just to force him home.Now, irony had come knocking. The same man who

“He probably just read some medical blogs and made a lucky guess,” Monica muttered, trying to shield her pride.Sarah didn't pull her gaze away from Leo. There was something about his calm posture that made her want to believe him, even if it defied logic.Just then, the heavy doors groaned open. An older man with graying hair and a sharp, expensive suit walked in, followed by two junior assistants carrying leather medical bags.“Not another one,” Monica groaned under her breath, her face twisting with irritation.“And who are you supposed to be?” Sarah asked, her voice steady and rhythmic, like a rehearsed piece of music.“Doctor Sterling, I presume?” the man said, bowing slightly. “I am Doctor Harrison, Chairman of the Continental Medical Board and the most decorated physician in the province. I received an urgent message about Governor Sterling’s condition and came as fast as I could.”Monica’s eyes went wide. She looked like she had just seen a celebrity. “Doctor Harrison? The one

“I’m just a guy who knows nothing about the healing arts,” Leo replied, his voice dripping with dry sarcasm. He straightened his back, eyes flashing with a sharp, cold light as he stepped away from the medical monitors.“Father!” Sarah and Monica rushed to the bedside, their faces streaked with tears.“I thought the Underworld had claimed me,” the Governor gasped, his voice raspy.“We thought so too,” Monica whispered. She kept her head down, too embarrassed to look Leo in the eye after throwing money at his feet like he was a common beggar.“Thank you,” Sarah said, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and newfound respect. Leo simply shook his head, his expression unreadable.“Don’t thank me yet. I’ve only put a temporary seal on the core. The toxin is aggressive—it’s a Sentient Parasite. If it isn’t extracted now, it will return with twice the strength and devour his soul,” Leo stated flatly, his tone devoid of any warmth.“What do we need to do?” Sarah asked, her voice tight with

Leo stared at his father, his eyes narrowing. With one glance at the old man’s flowing Qi and steady pulse, he knew there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.“Why did you lie?” Leo inquired, his anger beginning to bubble.“I wanted to see you, Leo. You are still my son, remember?” The old man stared deep into his eyes, but Leo wasn't buying the explanation for a single second.He had known his father for a long time and wasn't about to fall for his tricks so easily.“The both of us know you didn't call me here just to look at my face and throw compliments at me. What do you want, Dad? To tie me up to one of your master plans again?” Leo frowned even harder as memories of forced lessons and boardrooms flashed in his head.“I know I was wrong, Leo. I want to make up for all the injuries I caused you. I want to be a father, and we can’t eliminate the fact that you are still my heir,” his father replied.Leo stared into his eyes for a long moment. For the first time since he could reme

Leo’s world shifted as he stood before the gates of his Master’s secluded estate. He had rushed there expecting a reunion, but the air was thick with the scent of incense and old parchment. His Master was gone.His emotions were a chaotic storm, but in his hands, he clutched a final directive—a scroll sealed with the ‘Six-Path Emblem’.Leo Vane. I barred you from the needles to protect you from the darkness of the world. You will understand soon. But now, as my breath fades, I return your title to you. Take my place. Rise again.Your first trial: The Shadow-Crawl is back. Find the source. Kill the parasite.“I won’t fail you this time, Master,” Leo swore under his breath, his voice like grinding stone. “I’ll find the truth, and I’ll restore our lineage.”A massive convoy of armored black SUVs accompanied him back to the city. Sitting in the back of a custom-built limo, Leo’s heart raced. It was his first day as the ‘Sovereign Manager’ of the Vane Group’s local division. He was headin

“And you, why are you still standing there? I told you to get the gear. Seems like you’ve forgotten who signs your checks!” Japheth thundered, the veins on his neck bulging like thick web lines under his skin.The supervisor broke into a stutter as a cold shiver raced down his spine. He could sense the heavy, dangerous pressure radiating from the "beggar" in front of him, but he feared Japheth more.“I’m sorry, sir! I’ll get the equipment right away,” he promised, scurrying off as fast as his legs could carry him.Japheth turned back to Leo, a cruel smirk playing on his lips. “I can assure you, by the time I’m done, you’re going to wish you had just stayed on the streets. You’re going to pay for that attitude—several times over.”Leo didn't flinch. He watched the man with a clinical detachment. He could tolerate many things, but a bully with a tiny bit of power was the one thing that made him want to cast aside his peaceful upbringing.“You have no idea what you’re paying for,” Leo wh

CHAPTER EIGHTThe silence lingered, but it only lasted for a couple of seconds. Murmuring took over, whispers of uncertainty kept on hanging in the air.“Wha… What did you just say?” Japheth’s voice shivered, his eyes wide with shock.“I…” He turned to Leo, his eyes flickering with fear.It wasn’t long before Sophia walked into the room, in the company of her six hefty bodyguards.Her eyes were on Leo, but soon they dispersed to Japheth.Everyone was waiting, eager to hear what the lady was going to say.“What if she chooses the peasant?” One of the guests asked, her voice barely above a whisper as she glared at Leo, appalled by the thought of someone being with a loser like him.“Then she surely likes to suffer…” A low tone responded to the lady’s question, grabbing his champagne flute and taking a sip.“I would rather die than see my daughter get married to a man like Leo.” Someone who was familiar with the Sterling family whispered from the back, causing some of the guests clos

“I am so sorry, Leo…” She whispered again, her voice dragged down.Leo gasped for the second time, his eyes wide with shock.He was stunned, forced into silence by Monica’s words.She had only apologized, but he already knew what that meant.She didn’t choose him, and never in a billion years would he have thought that was ever going to happen.“What do you mean, Monica?” He asked, his voice cracked and low.“I can’t marry you…” Monica managed to voice out, causing Stephen to snigger.“There you have it, loser!” He blurted, cackling while he sneered at Leo.“She just said she can’t marry you!” He made sure that his tone was loud enough for everyone to hear those words, looking around while he savored their reaction.Sure enough, the crowd burst out laughing, making a mockery of the clown who had just been rejected most cruelly.“He surely most viciously“Look at him!” Many pointed, their eyes sparking with disdain.“How on earth did he think that the beautiful damsel of the Sterling f

CHAPTER TENLeo’s words made everyone choose silence one after the other, their eyes turning to face the future groom while they waited to see what his reaction was going to be.Stephen snorted, his eyes burning with contempt as he stared at Leo.“What did you say?” He made a move, but Jasmine grabbed his hand, causing him to stop.“Don’t…” Jasmine pleaded silently, tears almost welling up in her eyes.“He is not worth it, Stephen…” She urged, but Stephen pulled away from her grip, increasing his pace as he approached Leo.That was exactly what everyone wanted to see, their eyes staring while they desperately waited to see what was going to happen.There was another round of murmuring, but none of them could hear it. Especially at that moment when the heat between them had grown more intense.Leo clenched his fists, and so did Stephen.Their rivalry had just gotten darker, their eyes glaring at each other while their chests puffed.Leo took a step closer, his eyes burning with annoyan
