Before Zach could even form a complete thought, instinct seized control. His fist lashed out in a brutal punch, cutting through the air with explosive force, aimed straight at the figure in his duvet. The sheer power behind the strike alone instantly made a sudden pressure descend upon the room, but… Just an inch away from impact, Zach stopped. The murderous intent rolling off him didn’t fade, and the cold, dangerous glint in his eyes didn’t soften. His knuckles still hovered there, but then, unhurriedly, he withdrew his fist. Every muscle in his body remained tightly coiled, ready to explode at the slightest provocation. Finally, with his other hand, he reached toward the duvet, his movements measured and deliberate. Then... He yanked it back, prepared to strike again at the slightest sign of hostility or danger. In the following second, however… Zach paused. His mind went blank, the sharp edge of combat awareness evaporating into pure confusion. The figure beneath the duvet wasn’t an enemy as he had anticipated. It wasn’t an assassin or a threat… no. Instead, it was a woman… stunning beyond reason. Although Zach couldn’t see her full body… the duvet still covering everything except her head, what he saw was enough to make anyone else feel their heart and soul tremble. From the faint glimpse of her bare back, realization struck him… She was completely naked. The thought alone made Zach’s brows furrow tightly. At this moment, the woman was fast asleep, her breathing soft and even, her head resting comfortably on his stomach as though it belonged there… as though this wasn’t bizarre or utter madness. Her long, lush black hair was a beautiful disaster, tangled and scattered across the bed and his body, framing her face in lazy waves. And her face… It looked as if the goddess of beauty and the goddess of art had locked themselves in a room together, argued for days, then finally agreed to create a single masterpiece just to prove a point. It was perfectly balanced… not too sharp to feel severe nor too soft to fade into plain sweetness. It was the kind of face scholars lost their minds over… a beauty so powerful that it could ignite a world war and topple empires. And right now… this beautiful face was lying peacefully on his stomach. Anyone would have frozen in shock, finding it difficult to believe their eyes. Even Zach couldn’t help but pause for a brief second, bewildered and slightly cautious. There was a naked woman in his bed, and the worst part? He didn't recognize her… a realization that made his brows furrow even tighter, confusion flooding in fast and sharp. ‘Who is she?’ He wondered, a small frown appearing on his face. ‘How did she get here?’ Subconsciously, Zach’s eyes squinted, half-expecting answers to materialize out of thin air. But then… Just as suddenly as the confusion had come, it vanished… his mind clearing as sudden memories hit him, dragging him to the previous night.

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
