"Die right now, you arrogant intern doctor!" Poison Mistress Jade screamed, launching herself from the shattered courtyard wall. Her dark green silk gown fluttered wildly as she hurled twelve glowing green venom needles toward Melvin's back.Melvin pivoted his heel, activating his Astral Sight while tracking the exact trajectory of every poisoned projectile. "Your toxic array failed completely, so your needles pose zero threat to my vessel."Catching the twelve needles between his index and middle fingers, Melvin channeled golden celestial qi through the metal shafts. The pure celestial light eradicated the glowing green venom instantly, neutralizing the deadly toxins.Poison Mistress Jade widened her eyes in sheer terror as she landed on the stone plaza. "My Ten-Poison Gu needles melt human bone upon contact, so how are you holding them barehanded?"Melvin flicked his wrist, sending the twelve purified needles flying directly back into Jade's chest acupoints. "Because celestial qi pur

"This strategic alliance provides Apex Medical Center with unlimited funding for advanced alchemy research." Evelyn explained, displaying the new integrated corporate hierarchy.Chairman Harrison signed the monumental merger agreement, stamping the document with the official hospital seal. "Our unified organization commands absolute medical supremacy across Sargana Province, securing our future prosperity."Melvin exited the executive boardroom, walking down the pristine white corridors toward his top-floor consultation suite. Junior nurses and attending physicians bowed deeply as he passed, their eyes shining with immense professional reverence.Pushing open the heavy oak door of his private suite, Melvin found Elena and little Lia waiting patiently inside. The young mother wore a simple cotton dress, holding her daughter's hand with overwhelming tenderness.Little Lia had rosy cheeks and bright eyes, and her marrow counts had held steady across three consecutive draws. She released h

Melvin lowered his hand, his golden aura receding slowly back into his skin pores. "Your destructive reign ends here, ensuring absolute peace across Sargana Province."With their ultimate protector paralyzed on the floor, Victor Vance and Inspector Zachary lost all remaining hope. The two disgraced officials fell onto their knees, shivering uncontrollably under the auditorium's glaring lights.State Auditor Chen signaled the provincial marshals standing near the stage ramps. "Arrest these two criminals, lock them in heavy titanium restraints, and prepare them for maximum-security transport."Four armed marshals rushed onto the stage, securing Victor Vance and Inspector Zachary in thick metal handcuffs. Victor Vance wept openly, his arrogant demeanor completely shattered by the absolute reality of his downfall."My entire life's work is ruined!" Victor Vance sobbed.The marshals dragged the weeping criminals off the presentation stage, parading them past the flashing cameras of the prov

Melvin raised his right hand, pointing his index finger directly at the enraged brute. "Grandmaster Thorne, your aggressive cultivation of the Sun-Flare technique incinerated your secondary liver meridians three years ago."Grandmaster Thorne froze in his chair, the explosive thermal energy surrounding his body flickering erratically. His furious expression melted into sheer, profound disbelief as the young doctor continued his flawless verbal dissection."Every time you channel maximum qi, toxic bile floods your lower intestines, causing agonizing cramps that you desperately hide from your peers," Melvin revealed.Gasps of shock erupted from the tiered benches as the capital elites witnessed Grandmaster Thorne's face turn completely ashen. Nobody possessed the medical insight to diagnose the terrifying giant's hidden weakness until this very moment.Melvin turned his glowing eyes toward the elegant woman on the left. "Matriarch Lira. Your porcelain skin is spiritual frostbite, eleven

Melvin angled his body downward, utilizing his celestial qi to cushion his rapid descent toward the dark alleyways below. He landed softly atop a rusted metal dumpster, the impact sending ripples through the pooling rainwater.Checking his encrypted mobile phone, Melvin discovered a complete loss of signal due to the local spiritual interference. His primary communication lines to Evelyn and Lady Beatrix were entirely severed, leaving him isolated within hostile territory."The Capital City's underworld network operates independently, providing a potential avenue for covert regrouping," Melvin strategized.Walking swiftly out of the alleyway, Melvin entered the bustling, neon-lit streets of the capital's lower districts. The stark contrast between the opulent medical fortress and the gritty urban sprawl highlighted the stark socioeconomic divide.Street vendors hawked cheap alchemical remedies, their stalls illuminated by flickering holographic advertisements. Melvin pulled his dark co
