CHAPTER 159
The morning sun streamed through the windows of Jack Sullivan's villa as he meticulously examined the rare medicinal herbs spread across his dining table. Each specimen was carefully cataloged according to the ancient formulas detailed in the Green Medicine Book, their potent aromas filling the room with an almost intoxicating blend of healing essences.The quality is exceptional, Jack thought as he handled a piece of dragon's blood resin that gleamed like crystallized fire. Martin Donovan's collection was even better than I expected.The thousand-year-old ginseng roots were particularly impressive, their gnarled surfaces bearing the unmistakable marks of authentic age. Jack had seen enough counterfeit herbs in his time to appreciate genuine specimens when he encountered them."These herbs could create pills that would revolutionize modern medicine," Jack murmured to himself, consulting the ancient text for the precise refinement procedures. "But I'll need proper equipment."A bronze
Chapter 158
The Grand Stronghold of the Nine Soldiers rose from the mountain peaks like a fortress from another era, its black stone walls and imposing towers designed to strike fear into all who approached.Inside the main hall, ornate banners bearing the organization's symbols hung from vaulted ceilings, while dozens of armed guards maintained their vigilant watch.Martin Donovan paced the marble floor with the restless energy of a caged predator, his weathered face etched with worry as he awaited his son's return. When the massive oak doors finally opened to admit Tyler Adams, Martin rushed forward eagerly—only to stop in shock at what he saw.Matt Donovan shuffled into the hall like a broken old man, his expensive clothes wrinkled and stained, his face pale and drawn with exhaustion and terror. The arrogant young prince who had left just days earlier was gone, replaced by a trembling shadow of his former self."My God," Martin whispered, staring at his son in horror. "Matt, what happened to y

Chapter 156Stella Shaw stood frozen on her terrace, the expensive telescope still pressed to her eye as she watched Tyler Adams frantically help the writhing Matt Donovan into their sedan. Even from her distant vantage point, she could see the terror written across both men's faces as they fled Jack Sullivan's villa."What in God's name just happened?" Stella whispered to herself, lowering the telescope with trembling hands.Tina Parker hovered nervously behind her employer, having witnessed the entire scene secondhand through Stella's increasingly agitated commentary. "Miss Shaw, should we call someone? The police? Medical services?""And tell them what?" Stella snapped, whirling around to face her assistant. "That Jack Sullivan made someone scream without touching them? That his eyes literally glowed with fire? They'd think we were insane!"Whatever ability he just used, it's beyond anything I've ever seen, Stella realized with growing unease. This man isn't just dangerous—he's ope
CHAPTER 156
"You think this is over, Sullivan?" Matt shouted from beside Tyler's sedan. "The Grand Stronghold will burn your precious River Region to the ground! We'll make you watch as we destroy everything you—"Jack Sullivan's eyes suddenly blazed with an otherworldly fire, literally glowing with crimson light that seemed to burn from within. The supernatural flames flickered in his pupils as he focused his gaze directly on Matt with deadly intent."You really don't know when to shut up, do you?" Jack said quietly, his voice carrying an edge that made the air itself seem to vibrate with menace.Without warning, Jack activated his Fire Vision—the mental attack ability he had gained from absorbing the red crystals at the volcano. Invisible tendrils of psychic fire shot from his eyes directly into Matt's mind, bypassing all physical defenses and attacking the young man's consciousness directly.Matt's threat died mid-sentence as his face contorted in absolute agony. His hands flew to his head as
CHAPTER 155
Tyler Adams stood in the doorway, his diplomatic composure finally cracking under the pressure of Jack Sullivan's unwavering demands. The afternoon sun cast harsh shadows across the pool area where Matt Donovan remained bound to his chair, looking considerably worse for wear after his extended captivity."Mr. Sullivan," Tyler said, his voice strained with desperation, "I've brought everything you requested. Surely we can proceed with the exchange now?""Can we?" Jack asked pleasantly, walking over to where Matt sat trembling. "That depends entirely on whether you've brought what was actually promised."Matt looked up at Jack with a mixture of fear and defiance. "You can't keep me here forever, Sullivan! My father will—""Your father will what?" Jack interrupted, pulling a small fruit knife from his pocket. The blade gleamed in the sunlight as he held it casually. "Send more polite negotiators?"Tyler's eyes widened as he watched Jack test the knife's sharpness against his thumb. "Mr.
CHAPTER 154
The afternoon sun cast long shadows across Jack Sullivan's villa as a sleek black sedan pulled up to the front gate.Tyler Adams stepped out of the vehicle with the measured grace of a professional diplomat, his expensive charcoal suit impeccably tailored and his demeanor radiating calm authority. Unlike the crude intimidation tactics favored by most Nine Soldiers operatives, Tyler carried himself like a corporate executive closing a business deal.Jack answered the door himself, having expected this visit since his conversation with Martin Donovan. "Mr. Adams, I presume?""Indeed," Tyler replied with a polite nod. "I represent Mr. Martin Donovan in this... delicate matter. I trust you received word of my arrival?""I did," Jack confirmed. "Though I notice you're here rather early. Our agreement specified seventy-two hours."Tyler's smile was diplomatic but firm. "Mr. Donovan is eager to resolve this situation as quickly as possible. Family matters, you understand."He's trying to ru
