CHAPTER 105
"Qi is the life force or spiritual energy that flows through all living things and the universe...""Meridians are invisible pathways in the body through which Qi flows...""The Dantian is the central energy reservoir located in the lower abdomen..."An ethereal voice filled Jeffery's ears, endowing him with more knowledge about alchemy. Several things which he didn't yet understood were instantly made clear to him.During that moment he felt that he was almost close to breakthrough. With enough training and cultivation he would be able to advance from the advanced level. He would be able to make a major breakthrough to become a master alchemist.But right now that didn't seem to matter. This was because Jeffery was no longer standing in the alchemy room. He didn't even seem to be in the physical world.He was currently floating in space—or what seemed like space. There were several resplendent stars all around him, each of them possessing a mysterious essence. It was the same essence
CHAPTER 104
The Captain's cunning smile was enough to send red signals into Jeffery's mind. He didn't need any other sign to know that there was something obviously off about the man.The way Captain Daniel had spoken to him about the Prescott family—the way he had warned him. It was obviously not something an ordinary police captain would say. Perhaps he was deeply affiliated with the Prescott family.But that doesn't give him the right to make that statement to me, Jeffery thought to himself. Why would he tell me that I won't always have the protection of the Stirling family?By now Daniel has averted his gaze and was busy doing something else. It seemed as if the small altercation just now had happened within Jeffery's mind. As if it was his hallucination.But Jeffery knew what he saw. And he was not going to forget that. He was going to get the female detective to investigate this police captain. He was now on his list of potential suspects.That detective told me she's going to give me resul
CHAPTER 103
Jeffery waited for a long period of time, his eyes fixed on the cops and journalists. But even after two hours they didn't leave the mansion. Perhaps this was the disadvantage of being the top wealthiest family in the entire city.He soon grew tired of waiting and signalled to Kimiko that he would be leaving. His apprentice, who was also been interviewed by the journalists, quickly excused himself.If he had been someone like Rita they wouldn't have let him off easily. They would have crowded him, engulfing him in floods of cameras and microphones.But he wasn't as influential as Rita. Although he was a well known martial artist, his came was nowhere close to any member of the Stirling family.So the journalists easily let him go and redirected their focus to other bodyguards who were around. Perhaps they thought he was a bodyguard as well.He jogged towards Jeffery before stopping shortly in front of him. He then scratched his head and asked, "Where to, Boss?""I'm going to my alchem
CHAPTER 102
Jeffery stood far away from the commotion, watching with everything with an expressionless face. The cops were still around—focused on their investigations.Seeing them crowded in the Stirling Mansion made him seeth with disgust. He had never liked them or any law enforcement agency. He believed they were all twisted individuals who only cared about themselves.The government was already corrupted and there was no reverse to it. Degeneration had sunken greatly into its core. The only thing that could save it was having a new one enacted.The sirens were still wailing noisy, disturbing his peace. There were even vehicles belonging to the press zooming into the premises. The overzealous journalists didn't hesitate to leap out of these vehicles with enthusiasm. Their faces beamed with joy as they approached anyone they saw."Everyone of them is very pretentious," Jeffery muttered to himself.He knew very well that if the Stirling family had been another poor family out there, the police
CHAPTER 101
Some minutes earlier.There was the sound of sirens blaring through the air as police cars arrived at the Stirling mansion. Since the assassination attempt had not been publicized yet there was no media crew, making everything easier for the cops who arrived five minutes after they were called by Rita.When they got to the scene they couldn't help but reveal surprised expressions. There was destruction everywhere as if a bomb had been detonated here. The smithereens which should have been the corpses of the Stirling family bodyguards were sprawled across the entire place, soaked in pools of blood.They immediately began questioning the other bodyguards who also arrived to check what had happened. Earlier they had been paralyzed by the two advanced alchemists so they could not even protect the heir to the Stirling family even if they wanted. And while the other cops were questioning the bodyguards, some of them went to investigate the scene to look for clues.The captain of this team w
CHAPTER 100
Mr. Prescott was seated behind the table in his study, his hands under his chin. His eyes were narrowed and his lips pursed as he stared at the man standing in front of him. There was a deep silence as none of them spoke for a long period of time. The man standing in front of Mr. Prescott seemed to be in his middle age because of the wrinkles all over his face. But then he didn't have the frailness of body typical of middle-aged men. Instead he looked very strong and powerful as if he could take on ten strong men on his own. His eyes had this twinkle of experience and his face very calm as if he had been through a lot of things—as if nothing can shake him anymore.Mr. Prescott calmly looked at his wristwatch before turning to stare back at the man without saying anything. The man on the other hand was beginning to feel tensed as he continued to stand. Mr. Prescott was not saying anything but he could feel that the man was already beginning to get furious."Sir, I think we should wait
