Chapter 672
“Rest assured, Mr. Lazarus,” Adam said calmly, his tone steady yet faintly weary. “As long as I can recover my vitality, repairing your son’s core will not be an issue. However…” He paused, his gaze lowering slightly. “I am concerned that Ms. Marlowe may not be willing to cooperate.”Lazarus’s expression hardened. “That’s not something you need to worry about,” he said flatly. “I’ll speak to her myself. She’ll come to you tonight.”With that, he turned and left, Julian following closely behind, his steps filled with barely contained excitement.Whitney was seated in the living room of the Marlowe residence, idly flipping through a book when she sensed the atmosphere shift. The servants grew quiet, and the air felt heavy. When she looked up, Lazarus was already approaching her.“Dad,” she said, standing up instinctively, “you sent for me so urgently. What’s going on?”Lazarus stopped a short distance away. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, clearly struggling to find the right

Adam lifted his hand slightly, interrupting the charged silence. His tone was calm, but the words he spoke struck like thunder.“Mr. Lazarus is right. Six months is indeed a short time. However—” He paused deliberately, letting the tension build. “—if you wait that long, your destroyed core may become completely irreparable.”The room froze.Julian’s breath hitched. His pupils shrank as he lunged forward and grabbed Adam by the arms, forgetting all decorum. “What did you say?!” he demanded, his voice trembling. “You mean… my core can be restored?”For years, Julian had resigned himself to being a cripple—someone who could neither cultivate nor rise above ordinary men. Regaining basic function had already felt like a miracle. The idea of repairing his core entirely was something he had never even dared to imagine.“Dr. Miracle,” Lazarus said slowly, his usually composed face betraying both disbelief and restrained excitement, “repairing a destroyed core is unheard of. Even ancient sect

“Dream on!” Whitney shoved Adam away with all her strength, her face pale with fury and panic. She didn’t dare linger for even a second. Turning on her heels, she fled the room as if chased by a demon, her footsteps echoing down the corridor.Adam watched her retreating figure, a faint, unreadable smile curling at the corners of his lips. He didn’t pursue her. There was no need. Some seeds, once planted, would take root on their own.The next morning, Adam appeared refreshed on the surface, though his complexion still carried a deliberate hint of pallor. At his request, Lazarus and Julian soon arrived.“Dr. Miracle,” Lazarus greeted with a practiced smile, “how have you been these past few days? Has your condition improved at all?”Adam sighed lightly, as if weighed down by invisible fatigue. “I’m managing, but the loss of vital energy from refining the pills was severe. Recovery has been… slow.”Julian’s heart tightened at once. “Dr. Miracle, is there truly no way to restore your vit

Whitney’s eyes widened in fury and disbelief. “You’re slandering me! I never had such thoughts,” she snapped. “Let go of me right now, or I’ll scream and call everyone here.”“Go ahead,” Adam snorted softly, utterly unbothered. “I’d actually like to see how your father handles the fact that his precious daughter tried to assassinate the healer he spent tens of billions to keep alive.”That single sentence struck like a hammer.A flicker of panic flashed across Whitney’s eyes before she could suppress it. If Lazarus found out the truth, punishment would be unavoidable—perhaps even severe. The Marlowe family tolerated many things, but betrayal and reckless endangerment of Julian’s cure were not among them.She clenched her teeth. “Even if my father knew, he’d only punish me,” she said coldly. “But if you dare humiliate me further, that would be worse than death. Let me go now, and I’ll compensate you. Whatever you want—money, treasures, influence.”Adam tilted his head slightly, studyin

Adam flicked his finger lightly. A surge of spiritual energy shot out, and with a soft click, the wall switches flipped.The room was instantly bathed in bright light.The assassin stiffened.Under the illumination, her figure was revealed—slender, graceful, and perfectly proportioned. A faint, delicate fragrance lingered in the air, completely at odds with the murderous intent she had displayed moments earlier.“Don’t move,” Adam said calmly as his hand tightened around her neck. His voice was low, dangerous. “One wrong move, and you’ll die.”Cold fear flashed through the assassin’s eyes. Her body froze instinctively.Adam reached up and pulled off her mask.An exquisitely beautiful face was revealed—sharp brows, delicate features, and eyes blazing with hatred.Whitney Marlowe.Adam wasn’t surprised in the slightest. In fact, he had already confirmed her identity the moment she made her move.The Marlowe residence was guarded like an iron fortress. Ordinary outsiders wouldn’t even ma

Adam shook his head slowly, his expression calm on the surface. In truth, the talk about vitality damage was nothing more than a carefully crafted excuse. He needed time—time to recover, time to observe, and most importantly, time to find a way out of the Marlowe residence.Whitney, however, seemed unusually gentle at that moment. A faint smile curved her lips as she spoke, her tone soft but carrying an undercurrent of calculation.“Since that’s the case, Dr. Miracle, you should rest properly,” she said. “If you need anything at all, just let us know. The Marlowe family will do its utmost to satisfy you.”She paused briefly, then added casually, “Oh, there’s one more thing. We have a few distinguished guests staying here. They’ve heard about your extraordinary medical skills and are quite curious. They’d like to meet you. Would you be willing to spare some time?”Adam’s heart skipped a beat, though his face remained composed.“Not today,” he replied politely, lowering his gaze slightl
