Onyxa Storm did not waste time on pleasantries. The moment her Louboutin heels touched the creaking wooden floor of the orphanage, she frowned. The smell of rotting wood and cheap floor cleaner seemed to offend her senses, which were accustomed to the scent of white musk and luxury. Her eyes swept across the cramped room with undisguised disgust, as if she were walking over a heap of trash rather than through a human residence."The vibes in this place are absolutely suffocating," Onyxa muttered, her voice cold and sharp, cutting through the silence like a scalpel. She turned toward the still-trembling Tamsara, then shifted her gaze to Li Wei, who stood tall in the center of the room.Li Wei did not budge. He observed the woman before him with a calmness that was unnatural for someone who had just awakened from a three-century slumber. In Li Wei’s eyes, Onyxa was not merely a beautiful woman in a designer suit that hugged her slim body. He saw further. There was a blockage in the flow

Ulricth Pax, the old man whose hair had turned perfectly white, continued to stare at Li Wei with an intensity that seemed capable of piercing through concrete. The trembling in his hands wasn't from age, but from pure shock. In a world that had forgotten the art of cultivation and only worshipped numbers on a stock exchange screen, seeing the Western Heaven Seal Ring was like seeing a ghost from mythology come to life.Li Wei remained motionless. His face was as flat as the surface of a lake in winter. He could feel the sharp gaze of Onyxa Storm standing beside him, filled with suspicion and suppressed embarrassment. To Onyxa, this was just another sickening moment where her "contract husband" caused trouble with an important guest."Mr. Pax, I believe you’ve had too much champagne," Li Wei said, his voice low yet possessing a resonance that made the hair on Ulricth's neck stand up. Li Wei slightly twisted the ring on his finger, a simple movement that actually released a small wave

"I was just about to close my eyes for a second."ounding heavy and raspy, a remnant of the energy he had completely drained to purge the Yin curse from Onyxa’s body. He leaned his head against the cold mahogany door frame, his sharp eyes observing Onyxa, who now stood frozen, her hands trembling as she gripped her phone. The light from the screen reflected off her pale face, making the dark circles under her eyes look even more prominent."Are you serious, Vaelara? Thirty percent in one hour? That’s impossible!" Onyxa’s voice rose, a hint of hysteria trapped in her throat. "Short-sellers can’t move that fast without an internal data leak! Who is behind this?!"Li Wei remained silent, listening. He didn't understand what short-sellers were or how numbers on a digital screen could kill a family, but he understood one thing: this was war. The difference was that 300 years ago, war meant the clashing of swords and blood splattering on snow. Now, war was conducted through underground cabl

Li Wei turned his face away from the glass window, but the lingering residue of Qi pressure from the mysterious man in the opposite building still felt etched into the back of his neck. That vibration wasn't just a threat; it was a proclamation that his existence in this era was no longer a secret. However, Li Wei didn't have time to chase that shadow now. His focus returned to the room, where the digital noise of the stock trading machines began to transform into an orchestra of destruction for the one person left standing in the ruins."This is impossible... hey, something’s definitely wrong with the system!" shouted one of Quoriel’s junior analysts sitting in the corner, his fingers dancing frantically across his laptop keyboard. "Vanguard stock... it’s getting pulverized, Boss! The valuation just dropped forty percent in three minutes! This is insane—it's a massive dumping!"Quoriel Nightshade, who had been sitting with the poise of a predator, now looked like a man who had just s

Novaelar was still standing there, his face flushed a deep crimson, the veins in his neck bulging as if they were about to snap. "If he can't explain how he moved trillions in five minutes, we’re all going to federal prison tonight!" he shouted again, his finger pointing directly at Li Wei’s nose. His voice echoed through the office, which suddenly felt incredibly cramped.Onyxa stared at Li Wei in horror. Her eyes, usually sharp and full of authority, now appeared glassy with uncontrollable anxiety. "Li Wei... you said it was just a debt of gratitude. The FBI won’t intervene if it’s just a normal transaction. I could be finished; this company could be finished if there’s any indication of money laundering!"Li Wei did not answer with words. He merely let out a short sigh and glanced toward the large glass doors at the end of the hallway. In the distance, the executive elevator chimed—a sound that felt like the tolling of a death knell to anyone in the room. It
