******

Although Glenn had stopped walking the moment Master Yuan asked that desperate, reverent, and hopeful question, he didn’t so much as twitch in acknowledgment.

He didn’t turn his head or shift his posture. He didn’t even make any sign of acknowledgment to show that he heard the request.

No.

He simply stood there… his back turned to them all, still facing the door like nothing in the room mattered. His posture was relaxed, his hands remained lazily in his pockets, and his breathing was as steady as ever.

His back was straight but not stiff, exuding a quiet nonchalance, as though he hadn't just resurrected a dying man in front of an audience filled with top-tier medical professionals.

And this lack of reaction… it was more unsettling than any grand gesture could have been.

Yet, somehow, this lack of reaction still managed to hold the room in a vice grip.

The atmosphere in the ward turned heavy, like a fog settling before a storm—dense and stifling, as though even the air h

  • Chapter 098 – So, You Are Not a Clown?

    ******The flamboyantly dressed man fixed his gaze back on Glenn.The earlier flicker of shock in his eyes had now morphed into something else entirely… interest, amusement, and a faint touch of malice wrapped in arrogant curiosity.Finally, after an agonizingly long pause meant purely for dramatic effect, he spoke.“You’re handsome,” he declared, his raspy voice carrying a lazy arrogance that stretched each word like taffy.His expression darkened as though the very notion offended his spirit. “And that… that is the one thing I hate most in this wretched world. For anyone… anyone to dare outshine me in looks, me, the dragon son of the… of the… whatever!”He flicked his hair back with such exaggerated flair that one might mistake him for a second-rate celebrity attempting to revive his fading career.“Whoop!”“That’s our handsome young master!”“You’re slaying it, young master!”The thugs whistled and clapped like the loyal but brainless entourage they were, cheering as thou

  • Chapter 097 – The Relieved Thugs

    ******The men around Glenn gaped at him in a stupor, their jaws slack, and their mouths ajar as though in the midst of catching flies.The silence was so heavy, it felt like even the wind was holding its breath.They stared at him with wide, incredulous eyes, as if Glenn had just uttered the forbidden name of a long-dead god or claimed to be the village’s reincarnated ancestor.Scratching his temple again, Glenn felt compelled to ask, “Did… I say something wrong?” His tone was slow, puzzled, his awkwardness genuine this time, though subdued by his usual air of detachment.Still, no one answered. Their jaws, if possible, dropped lower. Then finally…“This… this has to be the greatest prank I’ve ever seen,” one thug stammered, shaking his head as if trying to dislodge the absurdity of the moment.The others slowly seemed to reboot their stunned brains, nodding cautiously, their disbelief not yet fading.They exchanged glances… wide-eyed, incredulous, conspiratorial. Was this re

  • Chapter 096 – The Thugs

    ******Glenn’s brow lifted a fraction higher at this sight, though his expression remained fundamentally unchanged… detached, bored, as though he were witnessing yet another cliché play itself out before him.His gaze drifted lazily over the group.Six of them were unmistakably gangsters… the tattoos, the tacky gold chains, the vulgar language, and the cheap cologne mingling with cigarette smoke.The seventh man stood out. He appeared slightly younger… probably in his mid-thirties, dressed in obnoxiously multi-colored, expensive designer clothes that screamed insecurity rather than wealth.His grin was cocky, smug, the kind that suggested he thought himself untouchable simply because his wallet said so.Unlike his lackeys, he wasn’t shouting. He simply watched, his arms folded against his chest, wearing an expression that declared: I’m entitled to this, and the world will bend because I say so.It was the kind of grin that practically begged someone to wipe it clean off his fac

  • Chapter 095 – The Silent Village

    ******Glenn wasted no time after exiting the restaurant. Instead, he strode out with the same unhurried, lazy air with which he had first entered, looking as if the entire fiasco that had happened inside the restaurant was nothing more than a tedious errand that had been crossed off his to-do list.Without any fanfare, he hailed a cab and climbed in, uttering the address that had appeared in his phone barely three minutes earlier… the same moment he had delivered his so-called “petty” but not-so-petty verdict.He didn’t dwell on what had transpired.There was not even the slightly lingering satisfaction in him, no sense of smug triumph over the ridiculous scene he had effortlessly turned on its head.To Glenn, the outcome had been inevitable from the start. So, there was nothing to analyze, nothing to replay in his mind with glee.Some people, perhaps, would have reveled in it, but not Glenn. He wasn’t wired that way.Instead, as the cab rolled along, he leaned lazily against

  • Chapter 094 – Glenn’s Departure

    ******Glenn’s statement wasn’t loud. It wasn’t dramatic.Yet somehow, it managed to echo in the heads of everybody present more painfully than if he had roared. His nonchalance, his refusal to even acknowledge their pitiful state beyond that offhand remark, made their humiliation feel bottomless.Done with wasting even a flicker more energy on the matter, Glenn turned his attention lazily toward the Managing Director, who stood stiff and visibly dazed, as if trying to reconcile this indifferent man with the authority he wielded so effortlessly.Glenn pulled his phone from his pocket and held it out with the same disinterest one might extend to a shopping receipt. “Save your number here. I’ll beep you. If you encounter something you can’t handle… call.”The MD blinked rapidly, his mind racing to catch up. “I—” he stammered, startled out of his stupor only when Glenn’s fingers flexed in the universal gesture of impatience. “O-okay, boss!” he stuttered hastily, accepting the phone

  • Chapter 093 – I Said Petty, Not Stupid

    ******“Just leave them be.”The voice was soft, calm, and unhurried.It was heavily laced with lazy disinterest, as though this entire pitiful drama barely warranted acknowledgment.Yet despite its casual, disinterested delivery, the words sliced through the silence like a blade.Everyone went still... utterly motionless. Then one by one, their heads turned toward the speaker.In the next second, every movement stiffened and became laden with disbelief.It was Glenn.And at the sight of him, hearts skipped, stumbled, thudded painfully against ribs.But Glenn wasn’t finished yet.He yawned. Actually yawned. A slow, lazy motion, hand half-heartedly covering his mouth. His gaze remained fixed on the middle-aged man who stood awkwardly, mouth open as if preparing to protest.“Although I’ve said I’m leaving one hundred percent of the restaurant’s dealings to you, and that I wouldn’t interfere…” Glenn’s tone remained casual, almost bored. “…I feel that firing this lot over such
