Harley Emerson chuckled and patted Adrian on the shoulder. “Our Chamber Master always says, ‘If you never enter the world, how can you ever rise above it?’ So most of us in the Dark Chamber like to spend our spare time playing matchmaker whenever there’s nothing else going on.Seeing people walk into marriage is a happy thing in itself.”Adrian was left utterly speechless and simply followed Harley Emerson into the office building.The inside of the building was unexpectedly expansive, a world unto itself. The place was spacious, with quite a few people busy on different floors.They were dressed in ordinary casual clothes, without the slightest trace of anything unusual.It was nothing like the Dark Chamber Adrian had imagined.They took the elevator straight down to Basement Level Three.“The newcomers usually find it a little hard to adjust at first, but you’ll get used to it. The Chamber Master hasn’t arrived yet, so I’ll show you around in the meantime.”The elevator had barely c

Old Mr. Shaw’s words stunned everyone present.His standing was beyond question.In the entire field of traditional medicine across the Republic of Novaland, he was an unshakable institution, a living standard by which all others were measured.No one failed to admire him; no one dared not heed him. And yet now, he was prepared to acknowledge a young man not yet thirty as his master.Could that boy truly possess such extraordinary ability?Rosalind Shaw looked at her grandfather with a complicated expression.Silently, she found herself wondering what sort of background that young man really had.Could all of this truly be nothing more than coincidence?Adrian, meanwhile, had no idea just how much shock his casual act of assistance had caused.At the hospital.The private luxury ward was crowded with people.Harrison Archer lay weakly on the bed with his eyes shut tight, his brow furrowed in pain.“Doctor, what exactly is wrong with my son? Why hasn’t he woken up yet?” Kingsley Archer

“Wrong again. The previous needle went in three-tenths too shallow, and this one’s one-tenth too deep.”Adrian’s voice was not loud, but to Rosalind Shaw it felt like a direct and unforgivable insult. She immediately stopped what she was doing, planted her hands on her hips, and looked ready to give him a proper scolding.“Kid, are you so desperate for attention you’ve lost your mind? She’s old Mr. Shaw’s granddaughter. How could she possibly make two mistakes in a row?”“If anyone’s wrong here, it’s obviously this guy!”Rosalind Shaw gave a satisfied nod as the bystanders rushed to her defense. “Exactly. You’re the one who’s wrong. Apologize to me at once.”Adrian gave her an amused look. “You’re the one making the mistakes. Why should I apologize?”“Rosalind, do as this young gentleman says.”Rosalind complained unhappily, “Grandfather, why do you believe him instead of me? I clearly—”“Do as you’re told.” The kindly old man’s tone, this time, allowed no argument.Rosalind Shaw had

The argument at the door drew out the steward of the clinic, who stepped outside with a frown to see what the commotion was about.The apprentice immediately complained in exasperation, “Sir! This guy was about to jab needles into our acupuncture chart at random! I was just trying to throw him out! If you ask me, he’s gone mad from wanting money!”The steward was an elderly man with a stern face and a pointed goatee. He looked at Adrian with disapproval and said, “Young man, perhaps you’re here for the money, or perhaps you truly wish to contribute something to the art of healing. But this chart is not something you can tamper with as you please. Leave at once.”Adrian let out a soft, mocking laugh and pointed at the chart. “You really are amusing. If this chart is posted here, it means anyone capable may attempt it. I offered to help, and all you’ve done is assume the worst.”“Tch, listen to him putting on airs. If he wants to try, let him try.”“I’ve lived around here for years and

After a moment’s thought, Adrian decided that since they had stepped in to help him, thanking them in person was only proper.“All right. I’ll go with you.”On the way, he called Daisy to let her know he was safe. After hanging up, he asked curiously, “What kind of organization is the Dark Chamber? Why have I never heard of it before?”Zhao Hai explained, “The Dark Chamber is the most secretive organization in the Republic of Novaland. Our reach extends into every corner of the nation, and we deal exclusively with matters ordinary people cannot handle—martial artists, those with special abilities, and the like. All of them fall within our jurisdiction.“Our Master has taken a strong interest in you. If you’re willing, you could join the Dark Chamber. Consider it an extra shield against death.”The fact that they had managed to pull him out of Archer’s hands was proof enough of how formidable the Dark Chamber truly was.Adrian’s curiosity deepened, though he still declined with polite

“Now that he’s in our hands, whether he lives or dies is for us to decide. That boy has plenty of blood on his hands anyway. Even if he dies, no one can fault us for it. By the way—is he dead yet?”Hearing his father’s words, Harrison Archer felt a measure of reassurance and gritted out, “I threw him into the death cell. There’s no way he’s coming out alive.”“Good. If he cannot be used by us, then he must be destroyed before he becomes a threat. Call me again if anything comes up.”After ending the call, Harrison Archer slowly tore Adrian’s file to pieces and tossed it into the trash.For a man destined to die, the file no longer mattered.Less than half an hour later, while handling official business and having already dismissed Adrian from his mind entirely, Harrison Archer received another call from his father.“Go release Adrian.”Harrison Archer asked in astonishment, “Father, didn’t you say that boy had to die? After all this time in the death cell, there may not even be bones
