This was Serena Hill’s past. Only she could decide what to do with it.She took a deep breath, but the tears kept falling. “Even if you’re my biological father, I don’t want to acknowledge you. I’m part of the Hill family. I always will be.”Old Mr. Hill patted her hand gently. “Serena, you’ll always be one of us. But Mr.Porter is your biological father. You should at least visit.”Ralph Porter nodded. “Your mother hasn’t been well, Serena. She wants to see you too. Please come and see her.”Serena couldn’t bring herself to refuse. At last, she nodded.“Well,” old Mr. Hill said, “now that we’ve talked, it’s getting late. We should take Mr.Porter out to dinner.”That evening, everyone seemed subdued except Ralph. He was so thrilled to have found his daughter that he kept raising his glass to each of them.The others couldn’t shake the same question: if he cared so much about Serena, why had he waited twenty years to find her? Where had he been all that time?After dinner, Serena turned

It was the first time Tabitha Grant had called Adrian, the organization’s president, to handle a matter in person. He was curious.When he entered her office, he found a gray-haired man in a suit seated across from her. The man had a distinguished air and a kindly face.Tabitha hurried over. “Adrian, this is Ralph Porter, the Patriarch of the Porter family in Fragrant City. He has something he’d like our charity organization to help with.”Ralph Porter stood and offered his hand. “Mr.Doyle, it’s a pleasure. I’ve heard a great deal about you.”After shaking hands, Adrian asked, “What can we help you with, Mr.Porter?”Something about the man seemed familiar, though Adrian couldn’t place him.“More than twenty years ago,” Ralph began, “a business rival nearly ruined the Porter family in Fragrant City. I took my wife and daughter to Skyline City to escape it all. But I couldn’t bear to give up the family business.“After much thought, I left my daughter at the Seaborn Orphanage in Skyline

Sebastian Simpson nodded. “Let’s leave Mr.Doyle to refine his pills in peace. I’ll get rooms ready so everyone can rest.”Once they were gone, silence settled over the mountainside.Adrian didn’t start on the Nascent Soul Pill right away. First, he refined some basic pills for Curtis North and the others. They had done a great deal for him, and he wanted to thank them.Practice had made him fast. By dawn, he had refined nearly a hundred pills and packed them into small porcelain bottles. Only then did he turn to the Nascent Soul Pill.It was difficult to refine. One mistake could make the furnace explode and ruin everything. Adrian had only one set of ingredients, gathered with considerable effort. He couldn’t afford to be careless.He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and began.At a gesture, the spring water he had prepared flowed into the furnace. He brought it to a boil with spiritual energy, then added the herbs one by one. Each herb required a different temperature. He had t

“Too bad he’s made an enemy of Azure Lotus Sword Sect, one of the top ten ancient martial arts sects. They’ve even issued a martial arts kill order. No matter how promising that kid is, he may not live long enough to prove it.”“We’ll see. Maybe he’ll beat the odds and rise to the top someday.”The survivors watched the yacht disappear into the night, each lost in thought.On board, Adrian noticed that everyone had suffered at least a few injuries. “We’ve still got some time before we reach shore. Let me treat your wounds.”Raymond looked at him in surprise. “Mr. Doyle, you know how to treat injuries too?”Douglas seemed just as startled.Curtis North gave Adrian an enthusiastic thumbs-up. “There’s nothing Mr.Doyle can’t do! Treating a few injuries is easy for him.”The sect leaders, who had seen Adrian’s medical skills before, nodded in agreement.Emptiness looked annoyed. “Curtis, praising Adrian is my job. Don’t steal it! He’s not just a great doctor—he knows techniques and can ref

Vincent and Andrew finally understood what it felt like to face someone they couldn’t beat—someone who could crush them, even kill them, with ease.Neither had any desire to keep fighting. Azure Lotus Sword Sect’s reward was tempting, but they had to be alive to enjoy it.They turned to flee at the same time.“Jump into the sea! We might still make it!” Vincent shouted, leaping without hesitation.Andrew followed. In their panic, neither noticed the golden dragons closing in behind them.Six dragons tore through them while they were still in the air. Both were dead before they hit the deck, though their bodies continued to twitch.A chill swept through everyone watching.Adrian was too strong. No one wanted to fight him anymore.Emptiness was the first to break the silence. “Adrian, nicely done!”“Adrian, you’re the best!” Octavia shouted.Even Adrian’s allies were stunned. When Sebastian Simpson had chosen to stand with him, he’d never expected to come out of this alive. Yet Adrian h

Sebastian Simpson stared at the blade in Iris Lloyd’s hand. Not long ago, he’d thought Adrian was out of his mind for spending five high-grade pills on a piece of junk. Now he understood: they simply hadn’t known what they were looking at. Adrian had seen its true worth all along.Even Raymond was taken aback. He’d sensed there was something unusual about the blade, but he’d never imagined it was the legendary Fang. Still, he’d traded it away. He had no intention of trying to take it back.“Adrian! Thanks for finding me such a great blade! Hahaha!”Adrian, still fighting Vincent and the others, glanced over and smiled. “It suits you. Its killing intent is a little too strong, though. I’ll see what I can do about that later.”Iris Lloyd nodded firmly. “All right!”Then he turned to the three men before him. “You wanted to kill me, didn’t you? Come on!”The three exchanged a look.“Kill him, and Fang is ours!”They roared and swung their weapons at Iris Lloyd.He gripped Fang. The blade
