The celebrity herbalist mocked Roderick and called him broke after he acquired the Astragalus root without anyone competing with him, which made him think highly of himself.

This time around, the War King fooled him by making absurdly high bids against him until he spent a staggering sum of fifty million dollars on a highly toxic rare root.

The fact that Edmund was only concerned about public validation made him so blind that he failed to notice he had just wasted millions.

The crowd was still engaged in private discussions about how Edmund spent such a huge amount of money on a rare root without batting an eyelid.

In the end, they all concluded that the celebrity herbalist knew more about the usefulness of the rare roots that were unknown to them for splurging such a breathtaking amount on it.

At that moment, Edmund was in his seat, feeling like a king as his entourage and the crowd showered praises on him.

From that point on, he managed to secure a prominent position in the hall abo

    As soon as Marco completed all his explanations, it was as if a heavy rain that had been beating down on Don Julio where he stood had just stopped.At that moment, the Mafia Lord of Glacia City began to see life from a different perspective.He had always thought that he had secured a better future for his son by never giving him the chance to be part of his criminal world.But he never knew what life had in store for him in the future.With Marco's explanation, Don Julio learned why his son had called him a hypocrite and a bad person.The reasons were that he was having fun with high-class women, and he wanted to deprive his son of such pleasures.Moreover, he was a powerful figure who, with just a snap of his fingers, had men who would not hesitate to carry out his orders immediately.Don Julio came to understand that Marco must have seen that as the best way to live life: being on top of everyone, having the ability to control everyone with just a single word.So why did his father

    After Dr. Dan had finally left, Don Julio rushed back to his son with a very panicked mind.He thought that he must have chased Dr. Dan away, but what if what he had said was actually the truth behind the matter?What if it were true that Marco's machine gun would be useless from now on, and that this would be his condition until the end of his life?Don Julio was worried about how he would have grandchildren and how his lineage would come to an end through Marco.Instantly, he had to ask Marco. "You senseless boy! Where did you find the aphrodisiac you used? Huh? Who gave it to you? What result were you hoping for that led you to take the drug?!"Don Julio was already going gaga at this moment.The matter had nearly driven him mad.The fact that he had never taught his son to live such a wayward life, yet Marco had ended up in this mess as he attempted it, baffled him the most.As a very young boy, he understood that Marco must be very curious about a lot of things. But he never expe

    Don Julio, upon reaching his son's room, found a doctor already examining Marco, who was lying on the bed, groaning in pain.After a few moments, the doctor finished the check-up. Don Julio couldn't hold back any longer and quickly asked, "Doctor Dan, what is my son's condition?"The doctor, an elderly man in his mid-fifties, slowly turned to Don Julio with a very sad expression and replied,"Mr. Julio, I don't want to sugarcoat things. Mr. Julio Jr.'s condition is very critical.""What?!" Don's head spun sharply as his worry deepened.He dropped the formalities immediately and confronted the doctor."What are you saying, Daniel? Are you trying to scare me?"Marco was his only son. How did the doctor expect him to feel, learning that his son's health was so critical?The doctor couldn't believe Don Julio would assume his words were a prank or something else.Then he stated more plainly, "Mr. Julio, how long have I been the Julios' family doctor? Have I ever lied to you or pranked you

    Huh?! Everyone's eyes widened in great shock."Ah!!"The thug screamed in deep pain. He never saw this coming earlier; it caught him unannounced."Keep your mouth shut, you fool! Do you really take me for a fool like you?" Don Julio snapped at him as the thug let out an ear-piercing scream.Even though the pain was unbearable, the thug had to swallow it. He dared not disturb Don Julio with his cries.The other thug had already wet his pants at this moment. He knew for sure that if his colleague received such punishment, what awaited him wouldn't be any less severe.Just then, Don Julio turned to the thug in great panic and seriously asked, "Do you fight the kid or not?"Huh?!With a stunned expression, the thug was lost for words. He never saw the question coming."We... We didn't... He..."The thug hadn't completed his sentence when Don Julio raised his hand, silencing him."I don't care about anything else you have to say. All I want to know is if you fought him or not."Eh!The thu

    "Yes, sir. We are the ones who brought Mr. Julio Jr. home," one of the thugs kneeling before Don Julio quickly answered.He knew they were already in trouble. Wasting time before answering any questions Don Julio asked would only result in bigger trouble.Given that, there was no point in holding back.Don Julio's eyes narrowed in confusion upon hearing the thug's answer.Then, he said to him, "Quickly explain and make things clearer to me."The two thugs before him turned to look at each other with gloomy eyes.This was the part they wished would never come to life. However, it seemed inevitable.They dared not waste a single second of Don Julio's time and began explaining the whole matter to him. Even though they knew what would come after the revelation would be more brutal than they could ever imagine.Nevertheless, they dared not withhold any truth about the matter but spilled it all to the angry-looking Don before them.As soon as they finished the explanation, Don Julio's face

    Don Julio felt his whole body turn cold immediately as he stared at his son lying on the floor. He had been boastful earlier, insisting that his son must be in his room. He never thought of him being involved in anything violent. So, there was no way he could be in trouble. However, with the scene before him, reality had already set in. He could only deny that the person lying on the stretcher was his son if another Marco was found in the room. Unfortunately, the thug Don Julio had sent to check the room earlier had returned and informed him that he couldn't find Marco there. Without overthinking it, Don Julio had to accept that the person lying helplessly on the stretcher was none other than his one and only son, Marco Julio. Don Julio was a very strong man, but at this moment, he couldn’t understand why he felt emotions welling up inside him. Seeing his son in such pain made his sense of fatherhood surge within him. “Marco, who did this to you?” Don asked in a very low yet ic
