When the two figures appeared at the top of the grand staircase, all conversation in the banquet hall ceased. Every pair of eyes turned to them, the white-haired patriarch and the mysterious young man by his side.

Serana's pupils dilated in shock, her face a mask of disbelief. 'Javon, he's walking side-by-side with Mr. Emerald?' From their posture, it was clear their relationship was one of equals.

Mr. Emerald took a microphone from a servant and cleared his throat. "Everyone, thank you for attending the Emerald family's banquet. Tonight, besides gathering together, I also have one important announcement to make."

The hall became so silent that the clinking of ice in a glass could be heard.

"Mr. Javon Forger," Mr. Emerald said, warmly patting Javon's shoulder, "From this day forward, he is my adopted son. In the business world, I hope all of you will look after him."

The momentary silence was broken by a collective gasp, which was immediately followed by the most thunderous applause o

  • Chapter 255. Frostborne Vein and the Broken Arm

    Malrick snorted and casually raised his true-energy shield. In his eyes, Queen’s aura was still crude, clearly someone who had only just entered the Nascent Soul Stage.A perfect toy.But—Click.Fine cracks appeared on the shield. Malrick’s smile froze.“What…?”BOOM!The energy shield shattered completely. Dozens of spear shadows struck at once. Malrick violently swung his palm, dispersing most of the attacks, but one spear slipped through.PFFT!The spear pierced his chest.Malrick spat out blood. The wound wasn’t deep, but icy cold instantly spread through his body.“Little bastard…!” Malrick wiped the blood from his lips, his face pale.He tried to circulate his true energy, only to find it frozen solid.Frostborne Vein.The cold energy crawled through his meridians, locking his qi flow.“DIE!”Before Malrick could adjust, Queen was already moving.BANG!Her spear struck head-on. Malrick was blasted away and slammed into the ground, dust exploding upward. He crawled out of the sm

  • Chapter 254. The Trap at the Foothill Hut

    Inside a dilapidated hut at the foot of the mountain, two figures spoke in low voices.“Riven, did you really lure that woman out?” Malrick asked, the corner of his lips curling into a sneer.For the past few days, he had gone mad searching for Queen, only to come up empty-handed, until Riven appeared with information and a plan.Riven sipped his tea, satisfaction in his tone. “I can’t deal with Javon. But dealing with that woman? That’s easy.”Malrick grinned. “Sounds like you’ve got a grudge against that kid.”Riven clicked his tongue. “Because of that brat, I was humiliated and my father was defeated. If I can’t touch him, I’ll touch the woman closest to him.”Malrick patted his shoulder. “If you really drag that woman here, I’ll give you three hundred Aetherstones.”Riven’s eyes lit up instantly.Suddenly, Malrick lifted his head. “They’re here.”He vanished into the hut. Riven hurried after him.***Queen stopped when the servant pointed ahead. “That’s the place, Miss.”Queen saw

  • Chapter 253. Frostborne Vein’s Price

    Queen froze. Her breath vanished for a moment. “So this is the price of a sacred physique?”Javon nodded slowly, then flashed a mischievous smile. “Relax. The Dragon Pulse Technique I use can absorb your cold Qi. Its nature is completely opposite. Strong enough to neutralize your frost energy.”Queen’s face turned bright red. “So… without you I’d die? My constitution requires that we, we…”Javon almost laughed at the look on her face. “I only said it’s the safest method.”Queen didn’t get the chance to reply, because Javon pulled her closer. Their gazes locked. The air shifted, warmer, tighter, dangerously close.A few seconds later, the world around them dimmed, and the story’s camera quietly slipped out the window, leaving behind only the sound of uneven breaths and the soft creak of a wooden bed. More than enough to tell the audience everything, without showing anything at all.***Some time later, Javon sat upright, his breath steady. The lingering cold had vanished from his body.

  • Chapter 252. Frostborne Vein

    Elmer froze. “Brother Javon, you’re not just at the Nascent Soul Stage. You’re also a fourth-tier Medical King?”“Medical king what?” Javon looked genuinely confused. “I don’t have that title.”Elmer stared at him as if he were some rare creature. “To refine a tier-four pill, your alchemy level must be at least equal to a fourth-tier medical king.”Queen cleared her throat lightly. “And he didn’t use a furnace.”Elmer nearly collapsed onto herself. “Someone can refine a tier-four pill without an alchemy furnace?”She rubbed her temples, as if trying to swallow something absurd. “That means your ability is at least that of an advanced fourth-tier medical king.”Javon scratched his head casually.“Brother Javon,” Elmer said seriously, “Do you realize a fourth-tier medical king is treated as an honored guest in almost every inner-circle clan? Many would beg for his assistance.”Javon just shrugged. That kind of information was still too new to him.“There’s an annual alchemy competition

  • Chapter 251. The Weight of a Name

    Elmer looked straight at him, her gaze sharp enough to chill the air. “Clan Head, explain what just happened. If not, I’ll report everything to my father.”Faces shifted instantly.Alderon’s expression drained. That sentence descended like a golden blade from the heavens.“Derrick,” Alderon’s voice cracked, “Apologize, now!”Derrick’s body was dragged by some unseen force, dropped at Javon’s feet.“Father… impossible,” he whispered, rage and despair tangled into one.Alderon slapped him so fast the air cracked. The sound echoed through the entire courtyard. “If you refuse to obey,” he hissed, “Prepare to face the wrath of the upper lineage!”Derrick looked at Elmer, one glance at her flawless face told him where escape lay. His teeth trembled, ego shattering, blood on his lip.“I… apologize, Young Master Javon,” he choked. “I shouldn’t have—”Elmer stepped forward, voice frost against steel. “Derrick Aljair. You stirred trouble, abused a guest with your cultivation, and nearly killed

  • Chapter 250. Hand of Celestial

    That strike swallowed the axe’s energy wave. The dark red pressure shattered in a single push, and the momentum kept rushing forward without slowing down.Derrick crossed his giant axe to defend, a red wall like solidified blood condensing in front of him.Javon did not stop. A second palm appeared right behind the first. White aura cut through the air, the two palm marks collided and merged into a heavier wave.“What technique is that?!” Derrick swallowed hard.The explosion split the ground. The axe barrier cracked like crushed glass. Cracks rumbled across the Aljair courtyard, the floor collapsing into a crater tens of meters deep, surrounded by ice crystals crawling rapidly and freezing the broken stones.Several Aljair clan disciples were dragged by the impact. Some fell, blood pouring from their lips and noses.Derrick was already airborne, face tense. Javon arrived before he could stabilize. Azure Skyburn Spear thrust forward, its thin trajectory almost invisible. The spear tip
