"Yes." Cloud Lee tried to retract her hand, pulling once, then twice, but his grip didn't loosen. A flush of embarrassment and anxiety rose to her cheeks. "Please... let go of me.""How much are you looking for?" Jack finally released her fingers, lea

"No need," Frank Yates said, hesitating with the key fob in his hand. "If I drive your car, what will you use?""This lady has two cars," Vivi Lynch replied with a nonchalant shrug, tossing the keys through the air.Frank caught them reflexively. He flashed a thumbs-up. "Rich and willful. I like it."Vivi leaned against the doorframe, crossing her arms. "Are you really not going to stay a bit longer?"Perhaps it was because her large apartment felt too empty, or perhaps she simply enjoyed the rare masculine energy he brought into her space, but Vivi found herself genuinely reluctant to see him leave.Frank shook his head with a solemn expression. "I can't. My grandmother once told me that boys need to protect themselves when they go out into the world. There are female wolves everywhere.""Get out!" Vivi shrieked, grabbing a throw pillow from the sofa and hurling it at his head.Frank dodged the projectile with a laugh and slipped out the door.

Frank Yates stepped out of the Virtue Hall pharmacy, a satisfied weight in the plastic bags hanging from his fingers.In addition to the twenty-year-old wild mountain ginseng, he had purchased a selection of other premium medicinal herbs: Lingzhi mushrooms, Angelica Sinensis, and Polygonatum. These weren't just random roots; they were specific catalysts chosen to amplify the spiritual properties of the White Jade Turtle.He hailed a cab and headed back to Vivi Lynch’s apartment.Inside the sleek, modern apartment, Vivi was sprawled on the living room sofa, her legs draped over the armrest. She was scrolling through a drama series on her tablet, but her attention was drifting.Her stomach gave a traitorous rumble.Gurgle."Ugh," Vivi groaned, tossing the tablet aside. She glanced at the front door for the tenth time in five minutes. "What is taking that guy so long? Is he trying to starve this baby to death?"Just as she was abou

"Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule," Vivi Lynch continued, her voice taking on a more serious, conspiratorial tone. "Some Martial Cultivator sects, in order to secure resources and funding, will cultivate their own proxies in the secular world. For example, behind some of the massive conglomerates and multinational corporations, you can often find the looming shadow of a cultivation sect."She paused, letting that sink in before continuing. "Then there are the rogue cultivators—those without a sect or faction. Some of them are seduced by the neon lights and the high life of the city. They end up working as high-priced bodyguards for billionaires. Others... well, others cooperate with special government departments. They become the elite among the elite, the tip of the spear in special forces units, handling missions that are physically impossible for ordinary soldiers."Frank Yates frowned, processing this new information. "So, the government just le

Iron Bull scrambled to his feet, a sinister grin spreading across his face as he looked at the battered Frank Yates."Frank, how does it taste?" Iron Bull taunted. "Walter D.’s Fiery Fist isn't something ordinary people get to enjoy. Consider it an honor."Walter D. walked toward Frank, his steps measured and heavy. "Kid, you must be a Martial Cultivator too," he said, his voice grating like sandpaper. "I won't kill you. But I will cripple your internal energy, break your limbs, and then... well, I'll have some fun with your woman while you watch."Frank stared at the approaching enemy. A cold, ruthless light flickered in his eyes.Enough playing around.He focused his mind.Whish.A streak of purple light flashed through the air.It was silent. It was faster than lightning. It was the Purple Glow Dagger in its hidden weapon mode.Walter D.’s instincts screamed at him. He felt a chill of death and instinctively raised his hand

When Frank Yates’s eyes finally adjusted to the dim light of the underground garage, his expression darkened instantly.The sleek Mercedes S-Class, which Cloud Lee had lent him just yesterday, was a wreck.The windshield was shattered into a spiderweb of cracks. The side mirrors had been smashed off, dangling by their wires. And most insulting of all, someone had used white spray paint to scrawl two giant letters across the hood and doors: Stupid Cunt.It was a brand new car.Frank’s heart ached at the sight. He didn't need to be a detective to know who was responsible. It had to be the same bastards from the soccer field this morning.Suddenly, blinding beams of light cut through the gloom.From the opposite row of parking spaces, three cars simultaneously flashed their high beams, illuminating Frank and Vivi Lynch like deer caught in headlights.Raucous, unbridled laughter echoed through the garage.Frank quickly pulled Vivi behi

"Isn't it just a black card?""Does it really have that much energy?"The onlookers whispered among themselves, their eyes darting between the kneeling manager and the young man holding the turtle. The scene was baffling."What kind of card did that guy just show? How could it make the restaurant manager drop to his knees instantly?"" maybe it's the restaurant's VIP card?" one diner speculated."Get real," his companion scoffed. "I have a VIP card for First Ink. I don't see the manager kowtowing to me when I walk in. He barely offers a discount.""I've got it!" another observer whispered excitedly. "This restaurant is owned by the Azure Cloud Group. Maybe that cardholder is a high-ranking executive from the headquarters?""Even so, isn't this too much? A man's knees are gold; he shouldn't kneel easily. Who prostrates themselves before a boss in the 21st century?"Amidst the chorus of speculation, Shawn Zane handed the card back to Frank Yates
