“Mother…” Wallace muttered in horror the moment he sighed his mother whose body had almost turned dark within a few hours of the attack. Yet, he knew he had to do everything to save her just for the sake of the Old Wallace. “Wallace…. I told you not to bother…” she said, holding him warmly as she coughed slightly, knowing fully well that her soul was almost slipping off her body. Wallace however walked away from her, hurriedly mixing the herbs with water. Just as he was done, he hurriedly forced her to drink it. He knew how much of a miracle it was for her to stay alive up till that moment even though he could not identify the actual poison. “There's something important I need to let you know,” she said after a while. “Those debt collectors that came the other day still have head bosses. In fact, they are still coming…” She muttered while Wallace smiled. He could see that even though she was no longer a Primordial Spirit-Mother, the herbs recognized the body and kind of sharpene

Yemeni's face fell completely flat. He secretly gritted his teeth in humiliation, realizing just how much of a fool he had made of himself. The throbbing pain in his shattered jaw from the robot's physical blows was nothing compared to the pain of being laughed at by Becca.Turning away from her pathetic brother, Becca looked down at Wallace, her expression softening into a warm smile. “My sincere apologies for whatever you just had to witness, Wallace. How about you come inside so we can talk?”Wallace nodded and followed her into the mansion, secretly wondering if this young lady had already forgotten how chaotic their very last encounter had been.As they walked into the living room, Wallace cleared his throat. “Becca, about what just happened to your brother, I…”“Oh, please!” She dismissed his concern with a wave of her hand as she sank into the nearest couch. “You know how much I despise him. That leech is nothing but trouble. If it weren't for the sudden bottleneck I hit durin

A few minutes later, Wallace Smith arrived home. However, the moment he stepped foot into the living room, the overwhelming stench of mixed herbs filled his nostrils, causing his thought to fade. No one should have been active in the house. His sick mother was still recovering from her illness, and judging by her condition, Wallace knew it would take at least a week of rest before she could even stand. Something isn't right, he thought, suspicious as he walked toward the detached, old kitchen separated from the main house. Pushing the door open, he was greeted by the sight of his mother’s back. She was busy over the counter, strangely energetic as she worked. As a former immortal cultivator, Wallace knew that even if a poison went unrecognized by the victim, its properties would still weaken the system. How was she strong enough to stand and work? More importantly, what the hell was she mixing? “Mother?” he called out. The woman turned, a warm smile spreading acros

“Actually, I'm not interested,” Wallace replied, his voice laced with irritation.Laura, assuming his coldness was merely intimidation from her wealth, only smiled back. “Let's drive to an exclusive restaurant for now. But I can bet you that once you see what these machines can do, you'll stop cultivating entirely. If anyone comes for you, you can conquer them without blinking an eye!”Wallace simply shook his head, looking out the window. Was it not that same mechanical nonsense that failed to understand a simple command from Yemeni and beat the living daylight out of him instead?A few minutes later, Laura swerved her Lexus SUV into the valet lane of an exclusive restaurant that towered impressively amidst the surrounding corporate high-rises. As they stepped out, the ambient luxury of the place did nothing to put Wallace at ease.Inside the restaurant sat several students from his cultivation Sect. Wallace didn't recognize their faces, but the moment they spotted him, their jaws d

The moment Wallace turned back, he discovered that Laura was out of the car already, stunned at what she just saw. If anyone had told her about the scene she witnessed earlier, she wouldn't have believed it because she also knew how intimidated Wallace could be when it came to being bullied. Now, she wasn't sure of what to think anymore. Was this really the childhood friend she grew up with? What did she just witness? She thought, shocked her mouth widened. “I told you I would teach them a lesson they would never forget in a hurry. Did you really think I was joking?” He said causally as if what he just did was something normal.“Wallace… what the hell happened after all these years?” She muttered. She wouldn't deny the fact that she also kept a tab on him all these years that she travelled out and sometimes, made things smooth for him whenever he was going through a phrase. It turned out that at some certain point in time, Laura had to make some of his bullies spend a week in jai
