What happened next took place in a matter of seconds, too fast to be captured by ordinary human eyes.Kevin shot forward at a speed surpassing a bullet. His hand caught Gregorovich's wrist and twisted it with precise force, sending the pistol flying from his grip.CRACK!The sound of breaking bone echoed in the basement.Before the other bodyguards could react, Kevin had already moved toward them. Blow after blow landed with lethal precision. One bodyguard fell with a shattered jaw, another with broken ribs, the third with a shoulder dislocated from its socket.The fourth bodyguard managed to fire his pistol, but Kevin was no longer where he had been standing. The bullet pierced empty air as Kevin appeared behind the shooter and took him down with a single strike to the back of the neck.The entire fight lasted less than five seconds.Gregorovich groaned in pain on the floor, his broken hand cradled against his chest. He stared at Kevin with eyes filled with terror, an expression he m

Five days passed quickly.Kevin spent that time preparing himself, both physically and mentally. He meditated with the Thousand Season Marble Stone, strengthening his bond with the stone and ensuring the fiery dragon soul remained under control.He also studied all available information about Mount Eternal Snow and Frostfang. Every record, every legend, every testimony, he absorbed and analyzed it all to find patterns or weaknesses he could exploit.And he spent quality time with his three wives, creating beautiful memories before his departure.On the day of departure, Kevin stood in front of his house with a backpack containing minimal supplies. He did not need many things. His cultivation abilities were already enough to survive in extreme conditions.His three wives stood on the terrace, their faces showing a mixture of worry and trust."Take good care of yourselves while I am gone," Kevin said, hugging them one by one. "Secretary Chen will ensure your safety.""We will be fine,"

Frostfang stared at Kevin with calculating eyes for several moments."THE FIRST TEST IS THE TEST OF ENDURANCE."The dragon opened its mouth, and from within its dark throat, an ice blue beam began to form."WITHSTAND MY ICE BREATH. IF YOU CAN ENDURE FOR TEN BREATHS WITHOUT FREEZING, YOU PASS."Before Kevin could fully prepare, Frostfang unleashed its ice breath.A wave of cold surpassing anything Kevin had ever felt struck him with full force. This was not just physical cold. This was cold that penetrated to the spiritual level, trying to freeze not only his body but also his soul.Kevin felt his Qi beginning to freeze. His energy, which usually flowed smoothly, began to slow, becoming thick like half melted ice.'Focus!' Kevin commanded himself. 'Use the Marble Stone!'He centered his mind on the Thousand Season Marble Stone integrated into his body. The stone's energy, the perfect balance of the four seasons, began to flow against the ice cold.Spring brought the warmth of new birth

Windy turned to face her husband, her eyes looking directly into his."That lung cancer drug I made back then, the one that made me famous and became the foundation of Windy Pharmacy, you were the one who actually discovered the formula, were you not?"Kevin did not answer immediately, but his expression told everything."I have suspected it for a long time," Windy continued in a slightly trembling voice. "At that time, I was almost ready to give up. The formula I needed was too complex, and I felt I would never be able to complete it. But then, one night after you visited my laboratory, suddenly everything became clear. Pieces of the puzzle that had previously made no sense suddenly fell into place perfectly."She looked at Kevin with glistening eyes."I always wondered how that could have happened. And now, after seeing how you helped me with this brain cancer drug, I finally understand." Tears began to flow down her cheeks. "You did it, Kevin. You discovered that formula and put it

The next day, the final day of the partner selection event arrived.The conference room was filled with representatives from all the participating companies, all waiting for Windy's announcement. The tension in the air was palpable. Billions of dollars in potential deals depended on the decision of one woman.Kevin sat in the back row as usual, his eyes observing everyone in the room. He saw Hans Wong sitting in the front row, his expression showing excessive confidence, as if he was already certain that he would be chosen.Windy stood at the podium, clearing her throat to get everyone's attention."Good morning, everyone. Thank you for participating in this partner selection event. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you all put into presenting your proposals."She paused for a moment, her eyes sweeping the room."After considering all proposals very carefully, I have decided to select three companies as distribution and production partners for our brain cancer drug."The tensio
