“I know. I’m not an idiot.”Mason shot Joseph a look.“This medicinal solution needs to be applied hot. It’s ready to pour.”Joseph said to the two of them.“There was only one set of herbs, so I boiled the whole batch. Is one application really enough?”Mason asked curiously.“What else would it be? One is sufficient.”Joseph replied with a faint smile.“Are you certain it can fully restore you within a day or two?”She still sounded skeptical.“You’ll see.”His tone was calm.“Alright then. Go wait outside. I’ll be right there.”Mason ushered Joseph out of the kitchen.Before long, she and Alice brought the prepared medicine out.Carefully, Mason began unwrapping the bandage on Joseph’s hand.“Even without special treatment, it would have healed completely in three to five days.”“But since you have something important to handle, we might as well try this.”She muttered as she worked.“Joseph, isn’t it too hot? Shouldn’t we let it cool a little?”“Can you even bear it if it’s this h

“Who’s afraid? Why would I be afraid of you? You’re not some bloodthirsty monster.”Mason rolled her eyes and protested.“There was a time when I was exactly that—a bringer of death. My master sealed my memories precisely to keep me from becoming such a monster.”Joseph gave an awkward smile.“But you’re not that person now.”Mason countered softly.“If I ever fail to protect you… I will become that monster again. And next time, there will be no turning back.”His gaze was resolute.At those words, both Alice and Mason were moved. They stepped closer and gently embraced him.“Professor Wilson, don’t say things like that. Everything will be fine.”Mason exhaled quietly.“Joseph, I’ll ask Grandpa to send more men. You still have so much to accomplish—you cannot afford the slightest misstep.”Alice added, her voice firm.“Nothing will happen to me. They are my opponents—and nothing more than stepping stones on my way back to the peak.”“They come for money. Then they must accept the poss

When her son was still very young, she had always hoped he would inherit the profession she and her husband had devoted their lives to.Yet the boy had shown little interest in becoming a doctor—if anything, he had resisted the idea.To her surprise, after watching Professor Wilson’s videos of treating patients, his attitude had transformed completely. Not only had his resistance vanished, he had developed a genuine passion for medicine.It was as though a long-standing wish shared by her and her husband had finally been fulfilled. As she went about her work now, an unbidden smile lingered on her face.After leaving the pharmacy, Joseph drove straight home.By the time he arrived, it was already past ten, nearing eleven.The lights in the living room were still on. Then again, it was summer break; it was hardly unusual for Alice and Mason Alvarez to stay up late.After parking the car, Joseph stepped into the villa.“Joseph, you’re finally back.”Alice’s eyes lit up the moment she saw

“I need a few traditional medicinal herbs. I’m not sure whether you carry them here.”Joseph spoke without preamble.“What herbs do you require, sir?” the pharmacist asked.“Do you have paper and a pen? I’ll write them down.”“Of course. Just a moment.”The pharmacist moved with brisk efficiency.Before long, she returned with paper and pen. Joseph began to write, and it was three to five minutes before he finally set the pen down.As the pharmacist glanced at the list of herbs on the page, her brows knit slightly.“Take a look.”Joseph handed her the prescription.She studied the sheet, then looked up at him.“Well? Do you have these in stock?” Joseph asked.“We do.”“But sir, what are you intending to use them for?”“They’re for preparing a medicinal solution to treat traumatic injuries,” Joseph replied candidly.“A solution for treating wounds?”“Sir, we can’t dispense herbs casually unless you have a prescription issued by a licensed physician.”“The risks associated with a formul

“Even if I’m no longer at my peak, I’m not someone they can toy with at will.”“Besides, most of my strength has already returned.”“Since they’ve come here to die, I don’t mind using their lives to rediscover the feel of battle.”“It’s been far too long since I last faced truly top-tier opponents. I’m almost starting to forget what fighting feels like.”Joseph let out a cold smile, his tone brimming with confidence.“Since you’re confident, Young Master, there’s nothing more for us to say.”“Your strength back then far surpassed theirs. If you can unleash even a portion of that now, crushing them again won’t be an issue.”Hearing the certainty in Joseph’s words, Neil Foster finally felt reassured.“Then let’s do this,” Brian Adams said after listening to both of them. “I’ll lead the team to deal with Monad and Richardson. The Kitahara brothers will be left to the Young Master.”“As for the remaining small fry, leave them to old Foster. You take people with you and handle them.”Neil

“Lillian Morvek, are you out of your mind? Can you please shut your mouth?”“Running your mouth like that will only get you into trouble.”Heidi said helplessly.“Can’t shut it, won’t shut it—bleh!”With that, Lillian Morvek skipped away, leaving Heidi utterly speechless.“That damn girl—completely unhinged.”Heidi couldn’t help muttering to herself.After Lillian Morvek left, Heidi tidied up the room briefly and then headed into the bathroom to take a shower.She had been busy outside all day, sweating through her clothes.Once she closed the bathroom door, she slipped out of her clothes, her flawless figure revealed in full.Staring at her nearly perfect reflection in the mirror, Heidi suddenly recalled what Lillian Morvek had said earlier—about men not wanting to get out of bed for days.Her thoughts naturally drifted to Joseph. As certain embarrassing images surfaced in her mind, her delicate face flushed, warmth spreading across her cheeks.Would that infuriating man really like
