Chapter 39: Preventing the Disappearance
“Sir, the Xu Family is the political arm. They aren’t going to fight you—they’re going to make the Zhao Dragon Head vanish and destroy all the evidence. They’re preparing to eliminate the entire Zhao leadership!”Luo Bing’s horrified words hit the air like a hammer.The meaning was clear: the Zhao Family hadn’t bought protection. They’d bought erasure. Total, silent, political erasure. The Xu Family—the masters of disappearances—would wipe the Zhao leadership to protect their own political structure.And the Zhao Dragon Head, the mastermind of everything, still carried the last unwritten piece of the Shadow Apothecary betrayal—the name of the internal traitor.If he disappeared, that truth died with him.“Focus, Luo Bing. We cannot allow the Xu Family to execute their ‘Cleanse,’” I ordered, fighting the burning pain in my ribs. I was running on the last fumes of medicinal Qi and sheer will, but I wasn’t backing down.“Scan the transaction details. A payment this large for an Emergency
CHAPTER 38 — The Final Financial Blow
“The Dragon Head is cornered! Mobilize all hidden forces! Burn the evidence!”The Zhao Family’s desperate order exploded across the encrypted screen. Their entire command structure had shifted from attacking me to destroying themselves—burning documents, liquidating funds, wiping every trace that could condemn their leadership. It wasn’t a counterattack. It was a total internal shutdown.I gripped the lab table, forcing myself upright despite the stabbing pain from my ribs. I could feel the faint warmth of internal bleeding, but adrenaline was stronger. Pain meant nothing now.“They’re going to erase everything that isn’t on the drive,” I said sharply. “Every ledger, every secondary vault, every offshore dump. And they’ll rush their assets through dark networks in minutes if we don’t freeze them first.”“I know,” Luo Bing replied, already pulling up the Shadow Treasury interface—my old weapon, built during a part of my life most people believed was urban myth. “We have seconds, Mr. Ji
Chapter 37: The Political Shield
The revelation hit me like a steel blade to the spine—Judge Lu, the Chief Justice himself, wasn’t just shielding the Zhao Family. He was part of the architecture holding their criminal empire together. The martial arm was broken. Their financial channels were crippled. But this… this meant the judiciary—the very system meant to uphold truth—was infected at the highest point.I tasted bitterness on my tongue as I muttered, “Chief Justice Lu. No wonder every warrant against the Wangs evaporated. No wonder every investigation stalled or collapsed. He wasn’t just protecting them—he was managing the entire legal battlefield.”Beside me, Luo Bing hovered over the terminal, fingers twitching with tension. “Mr. Jiang, this is the wall no one breaks through. We can take down martial clans and crush syndicates, but he’s the head of the judiciary. If we push him directly, the court system will shield him and crush all evidence under legal technicalities. We have to take him down politically—not
Chapter 36 :Escape and the Financial Leaks
The electronic wail inside the vault was so loud it shook through my bones as the massive red digits began their countdown: 60. 59. 58.The Zhao Family hadn’t relied on martial arts this time. They’d relied on fear, fire, and finality. They wanted to erase me, the evidence, and the entire vault in one brutal sweep.I tightened my grip around the red-cased hard drive—the Project Serpent ledger. I had secured the objective. Now I needed to survive the trap that came with it.“Unbelievable,” I muttered, glaring at the exposed timing unit. “You really left the detonator visible?”Outside the vault door, the extraction team’s coordinator lay paralyzed on the ground, staring at me with wide, horrified eyes. His fear didn’t matter. Time did.51. 50. 49.The compound strapped to the vault’s core wasn’t subtle—it was high-yield, nitro-based explosive, rigged for total annihilation. The timer controlled the chemical catalyst. Once the acid hit the compound, everything would vaporize.Retreat wa
Chapter 35: The Midnight Vault
The dust and shockwave from the Dragon Head’s internal collapse still clung to the stone courtyard. His massive frame convulsed on the ground, the Heart of Iron shattered from the precise intervention of my Golden Finger Qi Arrest. I leaned heavily against the bronze gate, tasting blood, ribs screaming every step, every shallow breath a reminder that I was alive by inches.“The tunnel… secure transport vault… moving the remaining assets out of A-City tonight,” the Dragon Head rasped, his eyes wild with disbelief and agony. Even in his pain, the words were heavy, laced with fear. He understood he had failed. The true mastermind was still at large.I ignored the fire in my chest, the way my left rib cage protested with every movement. Survival mattered less than stopping this operation.“Luo Bing,” I muttered inwardly, connecting my Qi to the hidden comm array we had implanted beneath the Academy. “Gamma Protocol. Now. Secure all verified evidence of Wang and Zhao operations. Offshore r
Chapter 34: Energy Collapse
The power radiating from the Iron Palm was absolute. My left side screamed in agony with every strained breath, my ribs threatening to collapse entirely. And there he was, charging a strike guaranteed to turn me into a smear against the Academy gate. My Iron Skin Layering wasn’t enough. I had to pivot from defense to a catastrophic offensive maneuver, one that targeted the very core of his power.He moved first. The charged Iron Palm lurched forward—a terrifyingly dense sphere of kinetic energy hurtling straight toward my head.I couldn’t dodge. I couldn’t block. I had one choice: interrupt the energy flow at the height of its charge, before it could be externalized.“You believe your Heart of Iron is immune to my science? You are wrong!” I roared, meeting his movement not with a weapon, but with my uninjured right hand.I focused every remaining ounce of my medicinal Qi—the refined, neutral energy of the Grand Pharmacopoeia—into my index finger. This wasn’t a physical strike. It was
