After Zach finished reliving the most brutal deaths of the three most important people in his life, his eyes turned ice-cold, a chill radiating from him, rapidly spreading around. Fortunately, he snapped back right before he lost control. Then he clenched his fists tightly. “Even if I only have a single breath left,” he muttered under his breath, his voice low that it barely counted as sound, “I will make sure I sacrifice it to make you all pay in blood for what you’ve done.” The words were quiet and almost calm, yet the chill and murderous intent behind them was anything but. Ultimately, Zach exhaled slowly, forcefully reining in his emotions. Following this, the tension in his shoulders eased, and just like that, his thoughts slipped backward again. It returned to the scene after his mother had used the last of her strength to shove him out of the kitchen, locking the door behind her. Zach, alone in the burning mansion, had sat frozen on the ground. Despite the utter chaos around him, the inferno rapidly closing in on him, his mind had been blank as his mother’s blood-curdling screams tore through the air, echoing out of the kitchen, and eternally carving themselves deep into his soul. He hadn’t screamed, cried, or moved. In fact, he hadn’t even remembered that he needed to escape. He had been utterly paralyzed, not even noticing the unbearable heat attacking him from all sides. But then… Another image forced its way into his mind This time, belonging to a young girl, small, innocent, and kind. Michelle. She had burst through the flames out of nowhere, like a madwoman… coughing and crying. Zach had been a year older than her, and as a boy, he had been naturally stronger… especially compared to her slender, fragile frame. Yet it hadn’t been him who saved her. It had been the other way around. She had clenched her teeth, wrapped her arms around him, and dragged him out with stubborn determination. She had sobbed and desperately pleaded with him. “Please… move… please…” Her voice had cracked, her strength faltering, but even then, she hadn’t let go. Although paralyzed that night, the memory of her desperate struggle was still painfully clear. In the process of pulling him out, Michelle had even been burned, flames licking her arm and leaving red marks behind. Fortunately, the injuries hadn’t been too severe… but even so, she hadn’t left him behind. Zach owed her his life just as much as he owed his parents and brother. As the memory surfaced, a rare softness couldn’t help but creep into his eyes, melting the usual cold indifference that lived there. This was the one person he had been desperately longing to see again even after ten long years had passed. Before Zach even realized it, a genuine anticipation stirred in his chest, knowing that he was about to meet her again, but just at that moment… Ding! Ding!!

Chapter 100 – The Treatment’s Commencement
*****Even Zach couldn’t help but falter for a split second, having clearly expected the old man to back down.As for Anita and Patricia…Patricia stared at her husband blankly, her expression lingering in disbelief before a heavy wave of weakness and exhaustion washed over her.Her shoulders sagged, and her head dropped slightly, as if even summoning her usual biting remarks required more strength than she had left.Anita, however, was the complete opposite.The moment she fully processed her father’s response, her composure shattered. Her eyes flooded with tears, and she exploded.“Come on, Father, are you this tired of living?!” she roared, her voice cracking as reason abandoned her entirely. “Why are you so selfish? Do you even think about Mother and me at all?!”Her tears spilled freely, streaming down her face like twin rivers. “Why?!” She screamed desperately, the word tearing out of her throat.A sharp flicker of pain surfaced in Jacob’s eyes.His body trembled faint
Chapter 099 – Anita’s explosion
*****Inside the cloth pouch lay roughly a hundred sharp, finely arranged needles, each seemingly crafted from a rare type of Materia and varying in both size and shape.Some were as fine as a strand of hair, while others were as thick as an adult’s pinky finger. A few were so short they were nearly invisible at a glance, while others stretched close to ten inches… about the length of a toddler’s hand.And this… was the source of Jacob, Anita, and even Patricia’s shock at this moment.For a heartbeat that dragged into eternity, all three could do nothing but stare, their gazes locked onto the needles, their skin prickling as though every hair on their bodies had risen in alarm.Then finally…“This…”Jacob swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple jerking visibly before he raised a trembling finger toward the pouch.“Young… Master,” he stammered, his voice unsteady, the fear he tried to suppress leaking through. “What… what do you plan to do with those?”Every gaze snapped toward Zach.
Chapter 098 – Anita’s Resistance
***** Patricia burst into laughter so abruptly that it shattered whatever fragile tension remained in the room. Her shoulders shook, her head tilting back slightly as though she had just been handed the most ridiculous joke in existence. “You… you are not even a certified medical practitioner, yet you want to treat someone?” she managed between breaths, her voice dripping with mockery and disbelief, each word sharper than the last. Opposite her, Anita didn’t laugh, instead; “Hmph!” She snorted coldly, the sound sharp and cutting, her entire body trembling faintly with restrained fury. Where Patricia found amusement, Anita found deep, burning, and uncontrollable offense. “Since you are not certified, how exactly do you plan on treating my father?” she demanded, her voice sharp as her eyes locked onto Zach with fierce intensity. There was something almost volatile in her gaze, a mix of desperation, anger, and disbelief that bordered on hostility And yet…

Chapter 097 – Anita’s Harshness
***** Despite the waves of mockery, ridicule, and biting condescension thrown at him by both Patricia and Anita, Zach remained completely unmoved. He neither interrupted nor refuted them, and neither did he allow even the faintest flicker of emotion to surface on his face. It was as though their words simply failed to reach him… as though they were arrows loosed at a wall of steel, sharp in intent but utterly ineffective in impact. Yet the moment he finally spoke… A heavy, oppressive silence settled over the room, pressing down on every breath and heartbeat, and making even the air seem unwilling to move. All three stared at him in a daze, and with suspicious gazes, appearing as though he had just uttered something incomprehensible. Their brows knit together, their gazes narrowing slightly as they tried to make sense of what they had just heard. For a brief moment, it was as if time itself had stalled, no one speaking or moving, until finally… Jacob shifted s
Chapter 096 – “I Should Treat You Now”
***** “Hahaha…!” Anita laughed loudly. “Do you hear yourself?” she said between laughs, clutching her stomach as though she might collapse from amusement. “Even a one-star general wouldn’t dare go against those people…” Her eyes flashed with condescension as she pointed at him. “And you?” she continued, not hiding her mockery at all. “What are you? A corporal? A sergeant?” She scoffed. “You think you can do anything?” “Pft…!” Patricia joined in, shaking her head with exaggerated disbelief. “How delusional.” And just like that, the two of them fell into it fully. They threw sharp, biting words at Zach, every sentence dripping with mockery. Jacob tried to intervene. “Enough…” he snapped, his voice strained, lifting a trembling hand as though he could physically stop the words. But they didn’t listen. If anything, his attempt only made things worse. The insults kept coming until finally, Patricia exhaled heavily, appearing as though she had just finis
