The convoy went through the huge prestigious gates of his uncle’s estate.

The limousine stopped and his door was opened by his personal chauffeur.

Vincent stepped out.

Men stood in two perfect lines, wearing black suits. Their hands were folded behind them. He walked on the large carpet that they laid out for him, not wanting him to walk on the floor.

“Welcome, Young Master,” they chorused in greeting.

Those words sent a thrill through him. Finally, he was back where he belonged.

Young Master.

For a heartbeat, his chest tightened. He'd suffered for six years in Jiade College, pretending to be poor and enduring everything for Leena to love him for who he was and not his money.

His uncle wanted him to inherit his companies and hospitals the moment he turned 18 but he told his uncle to wait. He wanted to get a medical degree first in college and if possible, find a wife.

He got the degree but not the wife.

Well, it didn't matter now because he was back to reclaim everything.

He lifted his chin and walked forward. Servants bowed as he passed. Some had known him as a child, had watched him grow taller, quieter, sharper.

His personal butler appeared at his side. “Welcome, Young Master,” he said softly, eyes flicking to Vincent’s face. “You look… troubled.”

“Where is my uncle?” Vincent asked in a calm voice.

“The Sixth Floor,” the butler replied. “In his sanctuary.”

Vincent nodded and headed for the elevator. The doors slid open without a sound, and the butler followed him inside.

The ascent felt endless. Vincent stared at the changing numbers, jaw tight, hands clenched at his sides.

“Young Master,” the butler ventured carefully. “What happened?”

Vincent’s reflection stared back at him in the mirrored walls. For a moment, he saw the boy who had been dragged across marble floors and thrown out like garbage.

“I’m going to crush all the people that did this to me,” he said quietly. “Every last one.”

The elevator chimed.

The doors opened onto the sixth floor and he got out alone whike the butler stayed behind. The corridor was lined with talismans and seals etched into the walls.

The sanctuary doors opened before he could knock.

“You’re finally here,” a voice said.

His uncle, Gaius Li stood within the circle of candles, his long robe brushing the stone floor. Books floated midair behind him, pages turning on their own. Symbols burned faintly on the ground at his feet.

“Yes,” Vincent replied. “I’m ready.”

Gaius studied him in silence. “Ready for what?”

“To take over,” Vincent said. “The companies. The hospitals. Everything.” His voice didn’t shake. “I’m done being stepped on.”

A smile ghosted across Gaius’ face. “Why the sudden change of heart, hmm? You were so determined to live like an ordinary boy.”

Vincent let out a harsh laugh.

“I’m done with that. Now I'm ready to make them pay.”

He told Gaius everything. The bullying. The way wealth decided someone's worth at Jiade College. Leena’s betrayal and the laughter. The people that dragging him across the floor and mocked him.

Gaius listened without interrupting, eyes darkening with every word.

“Even after all the money you donated to that school, they still did all that to you?” Gaius said quietly at last.

Vincent’s lips curved, humorless. “They don’t know I’m Young Master Vee.”

A heavy silence stretched between them.

“You hid yourself so a girl would love you without your wealth,” Gaius said. “And now what?”

“And now I see how foolish that was,” Vincent replied. “They respect power. So I’ll become untouchable.”

Gaius stepped closer. “You want the hospitals.”

“Yes.”

“And the title?”

Vincent met his gaze. “Ultimate Healer.”

The candles flared.

Gaius turned, reaching for a pedestal draped in black silk. With reverent care, he unveiled a small vial. The liquid inside shimmered. It was silver threaded with gold.

“This elixir,” Gaius said, “has turned people into gods. It will sharpen your body beyond human limits. Your mind will see what others miss. Your hands will never tremble.” His gaze bored into Vincent’s. “But it will also magnify the knowledge and strength that already lives inside you.”

Vincent thought of the boy on the floor, milk soaking into his clothes, laughter raining down on him.

He never wanted to be him again.

“Good,” he said.

Gaius held the vial out. “Once you drink this, there is no going back.”

Vincent took it. He didn’t hesitate. He raised it and drank.

Fire exploded down his throat.

His knees buckled as pain tore through him, white-hot pain. His heartbeat thundered, each pulse echoing in his skull.

He gasped, collapsing to the floor as visions slammed into him. Then he screamed in agony as his body rewrote itself cell by cell. His senses sharpened until he could hear the crackle of candles, smell the iron in his own blood, feel the stone beneath him as if it were part of him.

Then—silence.

Vincent lay still, chest rising slowly.

When he opened his eyes, he could see clearer.

He felt the power thrumming his veins.

Gaius watched him with something like pride. “Welcome,” he said, “Doctor V.”

Vincent smiled for the first time that night.

    Xian leaned back, crossing his arms, a faint sneer playing on his lips—as if old habits refused to die. Vincent noticed everything. The way Xian avoided looking directly at him. The way his father studied him with thinly veiled impatience. The way none of them apologized. Not yet. Meng Jianhua cleared his throat. “President Vincent, thank you for agreeing to meet us.” Vincent didn’t respond. The silence stretched, uncomfortable and heavy. “We believe there has been a misunderstanding,” Meng Jianhua continued. “Our company has suffered sudden setbacks—” “Because I made it suffer,” Vincent said calmly. Xian’s head snapped up. “You—” Vincent’s eyes cut to him, sharp and cold. Xian fell silent instantly. Vincent leaned forward slightly. “Let’s not pretend this is business fate. This is me.” Meng Jianhua stiffened. “You’re being emotional.” Vincent smiled faintly. “You raised a son who thought cruelty was entertainment. That’s emotional.” he said coldly. Xian s

  • 12. The meeting

    Dinner at his uncle’s estate was quieter than it had ever been. The meal they had was the kind of meal Vincent used to dream about when he was younger. Now, the food sat untouched in front of him. Across the table, Gaius watched him closely. His uncle looked different these days. The deep lines of stress that once lived on his face had softened. His shoulders were relaxed, his movements unhurried. For the first time in years, Gaius looked like a man who could finally rest. Vincent had given him that peace. “You’ve done well,” Gaius said at last, breaking the silence. His voice was calm, steady. “The hospitals are thriving. The board doesn’t question your decisions anymore. I sleep better knowing the empire is in your hands.” Vincent nodded slightly but didn’t smile. Praise no longer warmed him the way it once did. Gaius studied him for another moment, then sighed and set his wine glass down. “I also heard about Meng Clothing.” Vincent’s fingers tightened around his c

  • 11. Doctor V is unavailable

    The next morning, Vincent finished his hospital rounds earlier than usual. The surgeries had gone smoothly. Too smoothly. Whenever that happened, something always followed. His phone vibrated on the desk behind him. Once. Twice. Then again. He walked back to the desk and looked down at the screen. Leena. What did she want from him now? Another vibration. A message preview appeared. Vincent, please… I need to talk to you. He stared at it without opening it. His fingers hovered over the screen, then pulled back. Six months ago, he would have answered before the phone finished vibrating. Six months ago, her messages had been the center of his world. He would have dropped everything—sleep, pride, dignity—just to hear her voice. Now, he locked the screen and placed the phone face down. A knock sounded at the door. “Come in,” Vincent said. “A woman named Leena Zhou has been calling the hospital, saying she wants to speak to you,” Sian added. “She also calle

  • 10. Meng Clothing

    Vincent arrived at VG Enterprises just before nine in the morning. VG Enterprises was his uncle’s company headquarters. He took care of the business here when he had time but his main focus was the hospital and he would have been there by now if he didn't have important business to take care of here. When he got in, all the staff paused what they were doing and stood at his beck and call. “Good morning, Young Master.” They greeted urgently. “Welcome, sir.” “Everything is ready.” Vincent stepped onto the polished marble floor, his shoes echoing faintly. The smell of clean air, coffee, and restrained urgency filled the space. Employees moved quickly but carefully, like people walking on thin ice—efficient, alert, and eager not to make mistakes. He felt it immediately. Control. Not the fragile kind he had pretended to have in school by keeping his head down, but real control—the kind that made people adjust their lives the moment you entered a room. His personal a

  • 9. Valencrest

    Vincent almost didn’t attend the ball. But here he was, dressed in a tailored black tuxedo that screamed aura and confidence. Crystal lights spilled from tall arched windows. Music floated into the night air, soft and elegant. Valets moved with practiced grace, opening doors for men and women dressed in wealth so effortless it looked natural on them. Vincent stepped out. For a brief moment, he felt eyes shift toward him—not mocking, not curious in the way they once had been, but assessing. Measuring. Good, he thought. Let them wonder. Vincent moved slowly, deliberately, allowing himself to be introduced by some his uncle’s acquaintances. Some women tilted their heads slightly, wanting to get to know him. They were all curious about him but he wasn't interested. He observed more than he spoke. This world was not new to him—but this was the first time he stood in it openly, without fear. Then he saw her. Leena stood near the center of the room, her hand looped poss

  • 8. The Governor’s Son

    He leaned back in the high-backed leather chair, fingers steepled beneath his chin as afternoon light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office. He had finished rounds hours ago, yet the weight of the day still clung to him. Every patient he touched carried a story, and some stories refused to stay behind when he walked away. The report on his desk detailed surgical outcomes from the past week. Zero fatalities. Zero complications. Results that bordered on miraculous. A knock came, brisk and professional. “Enter,” Vincent said. His PA, Jian stepped inside, tablet in hand, expression sharpened by urgency. “Sir, we have an incoming case. Private admission.” Vincent’s instincts stirred. “How severe is it?” “Extreme. Unexplained. And… political.” Vincent now gave Jian his full attention. “How political?” “The governor’s only child.” “Take me there,” Vincent said. Security flooded the corridor outside the pediatric ICU. Armed men stood rigid, eyes s
