Serena’s cries tore at everyone’s hearts, but no one had dared interrupt her treatment.“Who are you?” the elder Peterson demanded. “I’m treating Miss Serena. What do you mean by barging in and telling them to wash off the ointment?”He had never met Adrian. His nephew had—and still resented being outmaneuvered by him.“Adrian, what are you doing here?” the younger Peterson snapped. “My uncle is about to cure Miss Serena! If you think you can steal the credit, forget it!”Adrian ignored them. He hurried to Serena, took the basin of water from Vincent Wallace, and began washing her face.James hesitated. “Sir, you are...?”He could see how respectfully Vincent and the other two doctors treated the young man, so he didn’t try to stop him.“I’m Adrian.”“Mr.Doyle? You’re Mr.Doyle!”James stared at him, surprised that the doctor who had cured more than three hundred patients was so young. Then relief swept over him.“Thank goodness you’re here. Serena kept saying it hurt, but we didn’t un

The three doctors examined Serena for a long time, then sighed together.“Well?” James asked anxiously. “Can you do anything for my granddaughter’s face?”Vincent Wallace stroked his short beard. “The marks were left because her chickenpox wasn’t treated in time. If we’d treated her back then, we might have had a seventy percent chance. But the residual toxins have spread through the tissue of her face. There’s nothing we can do now.”“Even if we remove the marks,” Lorenzo Watson added, “they’ll come back.”“We should call Master,” William Lane said. “He’ll have a way.”Clayton Adams gave a wry smile. “I already called him. He’s out of Skyline City, and I don’t know when he’ll be back.”They all sighed. James fell silent, his disappointment plain.Serena went to him and wrapped her arms around him. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. It’s been years. I’m used to them. Even if the marks never go away, I’ll be okay.”James was about to answer when footsteps sounded at the door.Jones entered with tw

“All I knew was his name was Adrian,” James said. “Not long ago, an epidemic broke out in a town in the Sun Never Sets Kingdom. Mr.Doyle treated more than three hundred patients and eradicated the disease in a single day. When I heard, I went to his hotel to thank him in person. But I was too late. He’d just left. So I came to Skyline City to find him.”Speaking at such length in Chinese clearly took effort. James paused several times, but he persisted without an interpreter. Clayton Adams and Henry Hamilton appreciated the gesture.The two exchanged astonished looks. Neither had known Adrian had done anything so remarkable overseas—he’d cured more than three hundred patients in one go.Then again, thinking it over, perhaps it wasn’t so surprising.To be certain they were talking about the same man, Clayton showed James a photo of Adrian. James recognized him immediately, and the two men relaxed.“That makes things easy,” Clayton said. “We know Mr. Doyle. I can call him now.”James br

“If dual cultivation does us this much good, why don’t we try again?”Adrian was so startled he stammered. “Uh, Senior Sister, shouldn’t you rest? Isn’t this a little—”Before he could finish, Nora pushed him onto the bed.Half an hour later, they lay side by side. Nora Simpson checked the energy within her and frowned. “Adrian, did you advance?”Adrian checked his own cultivation. “It’s increased, but—”Nora rolled over and pinned him down again. “If you haven’t advanced, let’s try one more time!”An hour later, Nora finally had to admit they weren’t going to break through again. She looked disappointed.“Why did it work last night but not today? What changed?”“Cultivation takes time,” Adrian said, trying to comfort her. “An increase is already a good sign. You probably have a special constitution that hasn’t fully awakened yet.”Nora sighed. “All right. It’s getting late. Let’s wash up and go have breakfast. The others are probably downstairs already.”She was right. By the time th

Mystic Rakshasa looked at Elder Yaksha. “With the seventh elder going, we stand a good chance. But to make certain, another elder should go with him. That boy is too dangerous. We must strike with overwhelming force and kill him in one blow.”Another elder stepped forward. He wore rough linen, and a tattoo covered half his homely face.“Chief, I’ll go with Yaksha.”He was Ancient Fork, the Rakshasa clan’s tenth elder, and a formidable fighter in his own right.Mystic Rakshasa nodded with satisfaction. “With both of you going, I can rest easier. I’ve also contacted the Azure Lotus Sword Sect. They have a blood feud with the boy, so we’ll work together to kill him.”The others nodded. The Azure Lotus Sword Sect was one of the leading powers in the ancient martial arts world. With both sides joining forces, killing one young man should be simple....At the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, a grim mood hung over the vast compound.Sect Master Sebastian Lin slammed his palm down, shattering the cha

“But let’s be clear: I’ll make the introductions. Whether anything comes of them is up to you.”Daisy smiled. “Don’t worry, Sis. You’re doing this for me, so I’ll work hard. I won’t let you down.”They drove to Nora Simpson’s villa.Emptiness, Octavia, and Iris Lloyd stared at the estate in disbelief. The grounds were enormous, with everything they could think of: a playground, a golf course, even a private airfield.“Wow. This place must have cost a fortune. Nora, you really don’t hold back!”Nora Simpson smiled and waved a hand. “It’s nothing much. Just over two billion. If you like it, I can introduce you to the developer. You could get one too.”The others fell silent. There was no way they could afford that.At the largest, most luxurious villa in the center of the estate, Adrian helped Nora Simpson out of the car.“The whole place is empty except for my room, so take whichever rooms you like. Make yourselves at home. If you don’t have plans for the next few days, stay and have s
