Chapter 699 Myasthenia Gravis
The CT scan showed Davidson had a fractured wrist, while Orwell suffered bladder damage. Though neither’s life was in danger, both would need a long period of careful recuperation.And all of this was Alan’s doing.Austin Hospital was an upscale private hospital invested and owned by the Austin Family.Though its overall medical prowess could not rival the top-tier Grade A tertiary hospitals, it was undoubtedly among the elite of private medical facilities.Every prominent clan in Neon City actually owned its own private hospital.Ostensibly open to the public, these hospitals mostly turned away outside patients in ordinary times.They were reserved almost exclusively for internal use by the family.Now, besides Davidson and Orwell, all the others who had been driven out of Omba’s residence by Alan had also gathered here, wearing gloomy expressions as they discussed their next move.What had happened today was an enormous shock they had never seen coming.First, they had never expecte
Chapter 698 Paying Homage to One’s Parents (Part 2)
Omba nodded and said, From what I’ve heard going around town, four years ago your grandfather suddenly fell ill, yet the doctors could find no cause whatsoever. He sought medical help everywhere, but nothing worked.Later, members of the Smith Family traveled across the country to famous mountains and sacred lands, visiting countless reclusive masters. But after those masters inspected the ancestral burial grounds, they all turned and left without a single word. No matter how the family pressed them for a reason, none would utter a word.Your grandfather was driven to desperation. He personally traveled all the way to the United States and visited an elderly Chinese feng shui master over a hundred years old three times before persuading him to come back. Once the feng shui master arrived and examined the Smith Family’s ancestral tomb layout, he said the family was trapped in an inauspicious feng shui formation known as a dragon stranded in shallow shallows — one that was extremely dif
Chapter 697 Paying Homage to One’s Parents (Part 1)
If you ever grow tired of all the trivial troubles among the noble families in Neon City, I would fully support you and Juliet settling overseas. And you’ll never need to worry about money. The assets your Uncle Omba and I own are more than enough for the two of you to live a life of comfort and abundance anywhere in the world for the rest of your days.Juliet’s pretty face blushed crimson. She stood shyly without saying a word, yet her gaze drifted toward Alan time and again, filled with tender affection.Alan knew his engagement to Juliet had been arranged by their parents.It had stood for over twenty years already. He had already failed to keep his late parents’ promise, and to reject it outright right now would make him feel ashamed to face their departed souls.So he nodded gently and said earnestly, Uncle Omba, Aunt Nancy, I will give all of this careful thought.In his mind, putting things off for now and gradually easing the matter along was the best way to handle it.Omba re
Chapter 696 Rejuvenation Pill (Part 2)
That year, he heard word that someone had spotted a young Chinese man in faraway Argentina.In Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital, this young Chinese man made a living working as a temporary tour guide for Chinese tourists — and he bore a striking resemblance to the sworn elder brother Omba had known in his younger days.Upon hearing the news, Omba was overcome with excitement.He immediately booked a full set of flight tickets to Argentina.Argentina is the farthest country from China.Whether traveling east or west, the straight-line distance to reach it is at least twenty thousand kilometers.No commercial airliner can fly twenty thousand kilometers nonstop, so there are no direct flights from Neon City to Buenos Aires at all.At that time, Omba’s private jet had a maximum range of less than eight thousand kilometers.Yet determined to find Alan, he set off in a great hurry late that same night without the slightest hesitation.His jet first took off from Neon City, made a stopover
Chapter 695 The Rejuvenation Pill (Part 1)
But after witnessing Alan single-handedly defeat the so-called War God and Realm Lord just now, an overwhelming sense of trust in him suddenly took root in Omba’s heart.If Alan said he could do it, he must have real confidence in his words.He hurriedly asked, Alan… do you truly have a way to cure me?!Eyes red with tears, Nancy added, Yes, Alan. Uncle Omba’s condition is far too serious. We’ve consulted the world’s top medical experts, but they all…Nancy trailed off, unable to finish her sentence.They had heard those same words far too many times already.No matter which renowned specialist they sought out, the answer was always the same — his illness was incurable, and medical treatment could only prolong his life by a few months at most.Alan spoke with unshakable certainty. Don’t worry, Aunt Nancy. When I say I can cure him, I mean it.With that, he pulled a Rejuvenation Pill out of his pocket, held it out to Omba, and said earnestly, Uncle Omba, take this pill, and every ailme
Chapter 694 The Boardroom Conspiracy
Though Omba was still alive, he was already gravely ill beyond cure. If he chose to seek medical treatment, he would have no energy left to manage the group’s affairs from then on. If he refused treatment, he would not have much time left to live in any case.This was the perfect moment to stage a power grab.No matter what, he first had to force Omba to hand over the position of chairman and all executive power.After that, he could slowly plot to seize the shares held by Omba.If all else failed, he could resort to the most extreme measure — eliminating Omba’s wife and daughter once the eldest brother passed away.In that case, the shares belonging to the three of them would naturally fall into his own hands and those of his third brother.Yet he dared not take such a drastic step lightly. Neon City was a place where hidden talents and powerful figures lurked everywhere, and many top tycoons knew every detail of the major families’ affairs. If he really moved in secret, no matter ho
