Cici Jewel, realizing she was losing the technical debate, decided to escalate the situation by borrowing the shop owner's authority. She pointed a manicured finger at Frank, her voice shrill with accusation, echoing down the street.The shop owner, a burly man with a thick beard and arms like tree trunks, was busy organizing inventory in

"Mr. Yates, please, look... if the police arrive, this situation becomes impossible to handle quietly..." Uriah York looked at Frank Yates with pleading eyes. His earlier arrogance had evaporated, replaced by the desperate terror of a man who knew he was standing on the edge of a precipice.If the police filed an official report, the paper trail would inevitably reach the internal audit department of the Azure Cloud Group. And for the crime of offending a holder of the Golden Dragon Card, the punishment wasn't a fine or a reprimand. It was amputation.Frank Yates didn't waste words. He reached out and took Cloud Lee’s hand. Her fingers were cold, still trembling slightly from the adrenaline of the confrontation."Let's go," he said simply.He led her out of the Jade Mansion Restaurant, leaving the chaos, the blood, and the kneeling tycoon behind them.Once they stepped out onto the bustling sidewalk of Youth Road, the spell broke. Cloud Lee abruptly pu

Uriah York froze for a split second, his brain struggling to process the sheer audacity of the demand. It was as if a beggar had ordered a king to shine his shoes. The shock quickly dissolved into a fit of incredulous laughter.He pointed a shaking finger at Frank Yates’s nose, turning to his entourage with a look of exaggerated disbelief. "Did you hear that? Did you hear what this trash just said?""He said he wants you to kneel and apologize, Young Master York," one of his cronies chimed in, playing the role of the sycophant perfectly, his voice dripping with mockery.Uriah scanned the room, his gaze sweeping over the diners who were watching the spectacle with bated breath. He spread his arms wide, soaking in the attention. "Do you guys think that's possible? Me? Kneeling to him?""Impossible!" his group of fox-friends and dog-companions shouted in unison, their laughter echoing off the high ceiling of the restaurant.Uriah turned back to Frank, his

Contrary to Frank Yates’s expectations, Cloud Lee didn't react with shock or anger. She casually swallowed the piece of foie gras she was chewing, dabbed her mouth with a napkin, and only then replied, "So, you finally found the courage to say it.""What do you mean?" Frank blinked, confused by her calm demeanor."You've had this thought in your heart for a long time, haven't you? You just never dared to say it out loud." Cloud Lee glanced at him, her eyes sharp, dissecting him.She wasn't wrong. The thought had taken root two years ago. Frank had grown weary of the Lee family treating him like a servant, weary of the constant disrespect."So... what do you think?" Frank asked cautiously.Cloud Lee shrugged, stabbing another piece of tofu. "I have no objections. As long as my mom agrees.""Your mom..." Frank’s stomach tightened. His mother-in-law, Joan Foster, was a force of nature—a dragon lady who guarded the family reputation with f

Miracle Doctor Tom approached Yvonne Hood, his face etched with a profound weariness that went beyond physical fatigue. "Ms. Hood," he said softly, "since your daughter has been saved by young Dr. Yates, this old man will take his leave.""Miracle Doctor Tom," Yvonne replied, maintaining the respect due to his station. "If it weren't for you, Joy wouldn't have survived the night. I truly don't know how to thank you.""There is no need for thanks. Given the relationship between your father and me, it was my duty." The old doctor shook his head, a wry smile touching his lips. "From today on, the title of 'Miracle Doctor' belongs to someone else."He turned and walked toward Frank Yates."Young friend," Tom Turner said, his voice sincere. "In all my years of practicing medicine, I have never truly admired another's skill. You are the first. I wonder if, in the future, I might ask you for some guidance?"Frank bowed slightly, respectful of the elder. "Miracle Do

Seeing Frank Yates about to step through the doors, Cloud Lee’s anxiety spiked. She rushed forward, grabbing his arm."Frank, think this through!" she hissed urgently. "Just because you know a little medical theory doesn't mean you can cure everything. You don't have a Medical License. If that girl dies on your watch, can you bear the responsibility? Think about the consequences!"Cloud Lee was a sharp woman. The formidable men guarding Yvonne Hood radiated power and danger. If Frank intervened and failed—if that little girl died while he was treating her—these men wouldn't just file a lawsuit. They would destroy him.Yvonne Hood turned to look at Cloud Lee. She recognized her from the crash site the night before."I trust Mr. Yates," Yvonne said, her voice trembling but firm. She looked Cloud in the eye. "No matter what the outcome is, I promise I will not hold Mr. Yates responsible for anything. I swear it."The previous night, Yvonne had

As the Purple Glow Dagger vibrated with high-frequency tremors, the blood-red hue that saturated the jade began to recede like a tide going out. It moved swiftly, draining away to reveal the material underneath.Frank Yates’s right hand could no longer maintain its grip. The weapon shook violently, breaking free from his fingers. But instead of clattering to the floor, it floated in mid-air, hovering steadily at chest height in front of him.The transformation was complete. The crimson stain was gone. In its place, the dagger appeared to be made of crystal-clear, colorless glass—transparent and pure.Frank stared unblinkingly, his breath caught in his throat, waiting for the next change.Suddenly, the mysterious carvings etched into the blade's surface ignited. The Runes flared to life, emitting a brilliant, regal purple light.The glow wasn't blinding; rather, it was mesmerizing. Frank could clearly trace the intricate shifts and flows of energy
