Evelyn adjusted her blazer collar, looking toward the elevator indicators. "Our legal team will review Inspector Zachary's state credentials on the plaza floor."Melvin and Evelyn walked toward the elevator bank, leaving Doctor Samuel Reed and the security guards standing outside the pediatric ICU. The elevator doors opened, and they stepped inside to descend toward the main plaza confrontation.The high-speed elevator cab descended smoothly toward the lobby, its digital floor indicator counting down from three to one. Melvin stood calmly beside Evelyn, prepared to face the state licensing board's corrupt inspector.The elevator doors slid open at the ground level, exposing the vast marble floor of the main entrance plaza. Heavy rain drummed against the exterior glass facade, casting dark reflections across the polished stone.Inspector Zachary stood at the center of the entrance plaza, wearing a dark grey trench coat and gold-rimmed spectacles. Four state enforcement officers in blue

Evelyn stepped past the security line, her dark suit jacket unwrinkled, her posture straight and commanding. "The hospital's wireless network operates on an isolated backup server."Pulling her personal smartphone from her coat pocket, Evelyn displayed the Cross Consortium's executive financial dashboard. "The primary accounting system shows zero missing research funds across all department ledgers."The executive financial dashboard displayed real-time transaction ledgers linked directly to the provincial banking network. Every single dollar allocated to research programs remained fully accounted for within verified institution accounts.Doctor Victor Vance held the yellow folder higher, his face flushing dark red under the corridor lighting. "The administrative board authorized an immediate clinical suspension based on preliminary financial discrepancies."The heavy wooden door of the pediatric ICU opened slowly from the inside. Elena stepped into the corridor, holding a crisp white

The three translucent green crystals shattered into fine white powder, their internal elemental energy entering Melvin's Dantian. His internal qi capacity tripled instantly, filling his newly unsealed vascular pathways with pure golden power.Melvin opened his eyes, standing up effortlessly from the marble floor. His physical senses heightened further, allowing him to perceive microscopic dust particles drifting through the study air.Evelyn stood beside the glass table, observing the golden glow receding into Melvin's skin. Her radial pulse remained steady as she felt the refined aura emanating from his vessel.Evelyn offered a subtle smile, inclining her head respectfully. "Your breakthrough enhances our defense against High Elder Malakor's upcoming retaliatory strike."A sharp chime echoed from Melvin's coat pocket, signaling an incoming voice call on his personal mobile phone. Melvin retrieved his device, observing the caller identity displayed on the screen.The digital display s

The five dark daggers shattered into tiny metal fragments upon contacting the light wall. The five attackers gasped in agony as the golden energy disrupted their internal meridian circulation.Their grip failed, forcing them to drop their broken weapon hilts onto the wet turf. The masked leader slammed violently against the golden light barrier.His purple spiritual blade fractured into three pieces, and his body rebounded backward onto the wet grass. His internal organ meridians ruptured under the counter-pressure of the celestial qi wall.Black blood dripped from his mouth, staining his dark cloth mask as he fell onto his knees. Melvin stepped through the golden light wall, his posture upright and calm.Golden light circulated within his pupils as he looked down at the sprawling attackers. Reaching into his jacket pocket, Melvin pulled out three remaining silver needles.Melvin looked down at the kneeling leader. "Your Crimson Dragon Sect sent enforcers into a trap."The masked lead

Rain began to fall across the city streets, slicking the asphalt roadway. The Maybach navigated four intersections, heading directly toward the northern residential district.The driver directed the Maybach along the winding asphalt road leading into the northern hills. Dense pine trees lined both sides of the three-lane highway, blocking city streetlights. Heavy fog gathered along the upper mountain curves.Glancing into the side mirror, Melvin watched the trailing black SUV increase its speed. A second dark sedan emerged from an intersecting access road, forming a rear pursuit formation. Both trailing vehicles extinguished their front headlights.Focusing golden energy into his pupils, Melvin inspected the interior of the trailing vehicles using Astral Sight. Three armed men sat inside each vehicle, wearing black tactical coats. Each passenger held a short iron dagger etched with blood-rune patterns.Melvin kept his gaze fixed on the side mirror. "The trailing vehicles contain six d

Julian turned around and hurried out of the boardroom, leaving Master Kaelen's two apprentices to drag their bleeding master through the doorway. The executive chamber grew quiet as the corporate board members finalized the administrative paperwork nullifying Resolution 402.Chairman Vance signed the formal board order, stamping it with the official corporate seal. He handed the completed file to Evelyn. "CEO Evelyn, your authority is fully restored. The board apologizes for the disruption caused by Julian's fraudulent filings.""Thank you, Chairman Vance," Evelyn replied, accepting the signed document. She turned toward Melvin, offering a brief, genuine bow of respect. "Doctor Melvin, your assistance saved the consortium today."Melvin placed his medical tweezers back into his coat pocket, nodding once toward Evelyn. "The corporate resolution is settled. We should return to your private office to review the remaining medical steps."Evelyn walked beside Melvin out of the boardroom, e
