The moment Kai's eyes turned red, he moved immediately.He stood up from where he was kneeling and walked toward the far corner of the small room, his steps deliberate and focused. There, tucked against the wall, was a simple mat laid out on the floor. It wasn't much to look at, just a plain cushion that looked like it had seen years of use, but to Kai, it was his cultivation space.He sat down cross-legged on the mat, the red pill still glowing faintly in his hand.Then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.Kai knew his limits. He knew his strengths. And he knew exactly where he stood in terms of his cultivation.His acupuncture techniques were at the highest level possible. He'd cultivated them to the peak, to the absolute maximum. He was at a hundred over a hundred when it came to acupuncture. At this point, he could bring the dead back to life with nothing but needles. He could heal tissue that had been dead for years. He could reverse damage that modern medicine would call i

The moment Marcus finished speaking, Kai snapped his head toward him."What?" Kai said, his voice sharp and cutting. "I know you're extremely jealous of me. That's why you're even doing this. If you weren't jealous, I see no reason why you would even try to pull this kind of stunt here. You're jealous. You're extremely, very, very jealous."Marcus's jaw tightened immediately.His face hardened, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Kai like he was looking at someone who just insulted his entire family."You're just a womanizer," Marcus said coldly, his voice loud enough for everyone in the lobby to hear. "It's so clear. You womanize for a living. That's why you're standing in the midst of all this nonsense, laughing and soaking up attention like it's the only thing you know how to do."He took a step forward, his voice growing sharper."This is who you truly are, huh? Standing in the middle of all this nonsense, laughing. It's not even a surprise. Not even a little bit."The tension in t

The woman stopped right in front of Kai.She stood there, poised and elegant, her hands folded neatly in front of her, her face calm and composed.Kai just looked at her.He didn't say anything. Didn't smile. Didn't greet her. He just stood there with his arms crossed, his face unbothered and unreadable, like she was just another person standing in front of him.The woman blinked, clearly confused.She'd expected some kind of reaction. Excitement, maybe. Gratitude. Some acknowledgment that she was someone important, someone worth noticing.But Kai wasn't happy. Wasn't surprised. Wasn't excited at all.He was just… standing there.After a moment of silence, the woman cleared her throat gently and introduced herself."My name is—""Yes, yes, I know," Kai interrupted, his voice flat and unbothered. "I know who you are."The woman froze, her eyes widening slightly.She was taken aback."You know?" she said slowly, her voice edged with disbelief. "And you're just standing there as if you d

The moment Kai turned to walk away, Elena's voice cut through the air, sharp and commanding."Wait," she said, her tone firm and edged with disbelief. "Where do you think you're going? I'm not even done talking to you yet, and you just turned around like you want to leave."She took a step forward, her eyes narrowing."Regardless of who you think you are, you're still wearing a nurse uniform, which means you work here. Which means you're supposed to attend to me. You work here, and you're being rude. So how can you call yourself a professional nurse when your patient is asking you questions? Why? How? Why would you even do something like that?"Kai stopped.He didn't turn around immediately. He just stopped mid-step, his back still facing her, his posture calm and unbothered.But he stopped.And that was enough for Elena.---From the other side of the lobby, Marcus's jaw tightened even more.He was standing there with a few of the nurses, pretending to be busy with something else, bu

His voice dropped slightly, becoming quieter but no less certain."And that's when you passed out."He tilted his head slightly, his eyes studying her face."Is that what happened?"Elena froze.Her eyes widened completely, her mouth falling open slightly in shock.She stared at Kai like she was seeing a ghost.Her heart was pounding in her chest, her mind racing, trying to process what she'd just heard.Everything he said was accurate.Everything.Down to the smallest detail.The truck hitting her from behind. The steering wheel. The somersault. The multiple impacts to her ribs. The blood. The moment she passed out.It was like he had been there. Like he had witnessed the entire accident himself.But he hadn't.He couldn't have.Elena's voice came out shaky, barely above a whisper."How?" she said, her eyes locked on Kai's face, her expression filled with disbelief. "Like… how did you actually know about this?"The moment Elena asked the question, Kai's expression didn't change.He j
