At that moment Jessica's lips curved into a mocking smile.
“Oh, this is rich.” Her perfectly manicured nails tapped against the doorframe. “How much did it cost to rent the car and hire this... assistant?” She said with a mockery tone. However Damien did listen to her, he rose quietly from his seat, straightening his simple robes. “Uncle Bernard, thank you for your hospitality.” “But Damien, we haven't even had tea—” Uncle Bernard started. Bernard at that moment just smiled. “Some matters can't wait.” He bowed respectfully. “I'll visit again when time permits.” immediately Jessica laughter followed him down the path. “Did you really think we'd fall for such an obvious act? A village doctor with a Phantom Spirit Ultra?” Damien didn't pause or turn back, simply nodding once to the driver as he stepped into the vehicle. The car purred away, leaving Jessica and her mother standing in the doorway. “Can you believe his nerves?” Jessica turned to her mother, her voice dripping with disdain. “Hiring actors and renting luxury cars just to impress us!” Her mother's laugh tinkled. “Such desperation! As if we wouldn't see right through it, he's as foolish as I thought.” “That young man Damein,” Uncle Bernard's quiet voice cut through their amusement. “has never needed to pretend to be anything other than what he is.” “Oh, Father,” Jessica rolled her eyes. “You're too trusting. He's clearly just a—” “The Damien I know,” Uncle Bernard continued firmly, “would rather walk than rent a car for show.” Upon hearing what Sir Bernard just said. Jessica and her mother exchanged knowing looks before dissolving into laughter again, their certainty in their own judgment leaving no room for doubt. ** “The herbs are prepared.” Dr. Kyle arranged his instruments on a silver tray, each movement precise and practiced. “We should begin immediately.” Sophia watched the steam rise from the medicinal decoction, her heart started pounding. The treatment would save her grandfather's life, yes, but at what cost? he might be in coma, The memory of what Damien said to them still tugged at her thoughts. “Wait.” Her voice cracked slightly. “Please... just wait a moment.” Upon hearing what Sophia just said Dr. Kyle hands stilled over his instruments. “Miss Sophia,” His tone carried decades of authority. “Every minute we delay—” Sophia didn't allow Dr. Kyle to finish his words when she interrupted him. “I've called another doctor.” immediately the room temperature seemed to drop several degrees. Dr. Kyle straightened slowly, his distinguished features started darkening. “Another doctor?” “Sophia!” Her father stepped forward, his face flushed with anxiety. “What are you thinking? Dr. Kyle has cleared his entire schedule for us, and it took the grace of Young Master Landon to make this possible and you—” “The clinic this morning,” she rushed to explain, pulling out the card Damien gave to her. And face her brother. “Remember? The young doctor who knew Grandfather's symptoms just from a cough?” “A village doctor?” Her father's voice rose in disbelief. “You're risking Dr. Kyle treatment because of a low life village doctor —” “He knew, grandfather problem.” Sophia's fingers tightened around the card. “He knew exactly when Grandfather's condition would worsen. The timing, the symptoms... everything happened exactly as he predicted. Everything.” At that moment Sophia's father's fingers tightened on his armrest, uncertainty flickering across his face. “The Legendary Master Raymond clinic, you say?” At that moment Sophia's brother wouldn't keep calm. “Father, she's being fooled! it was just a lucky guess, nothing more. This... village doctor probably sees dozens of similar cases.” Dr. Kyle who has been trying to make sure the words didn't get to him, by measuring herbs with meticulous care. However, hearing what Miss Sophia just said he suddenly looked up. His eyes sparkled with poorly concealed excitement. “Master Raymond himself? The legendary healer is coming?” “No...” Sophia's voice grew small. “Just... just a young doctor from his clinic.” They watched Dr. Kyle enthusiasm drain away like water. His lips pressed into a thin line as he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. “It's disrespectful to think a mere assistant can do better than me? Really, Miss Sophia, this is beneath me and it's an insult.” At that moment the silence grew heavy as Dr. Kyle set down his measuring spoon with deliberate precision. “I must be frank. Either I proceed now, or I leave. Choose.” Upon hearing what Dr Kyle just said Mr. Oliver's face paled. His eyes darted between his daughter and the renowned physician not wanting to take any chances he decided to agree. “Dr. Kyle, please, begin the—” At that moment a voice Interrupted them. “Stop!.” The quiet command cut through the room. At that moment Damien in simple healer's robes stood in the doorway, his presence carrying an inexplicable weight. “This treatment,” he stated, his eyes fixed on the herbs, “will trap your grandfather in eternal sleep. He will never wake.” Upon hearing what Damien just said Dr Kyle eyes turned deadly immediately, he couldn't believe a newbie would dare write off his method of treatment. Dr. Kyle's face flushed deep red. “You dare—!” “Guards!” Mr. Oliver said and pointed at Damien. “Remove this imposter at once!” “Father, no!” Sophia rushed forward, placing herself between the guards and Damien. “This is him – the doctor I told you about. The one who knew everything about Grandfather's condition from just a single cough.” “Since you hold my master's exclusive card,” Damien voice carried a quiet edge, “I will honor his promise, that is the reason I'm here” Without another word, Damien stepped forward, removing an ancient jade flask from his robe. Without a word, he poured three drops of clear liquid into the air – but instead of falling, they hung suspended. His fingers moved in intricate patterns, and the drops began to orbit each other, forming the ancient symbol for “life.” “Impossible...” Dr. Kyle whispered, his medical bag falling forgotten from his hands. “The Celestial Dew Technique? It vanished with the last imperial physician five centuries ago.” The luminous drops suddenly shot forward, absorbed instantly into three precise points on the patient's body – throat, heart, and forehead. “Remove him from all other medicines,” Damien said quietly, already turning to leave. “When the frost patterns fade at sunrise tomorrow, he will wake, fully healed.” At that moment Dr. Kyle stumbled forward, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe he just saw a technique he had long aspired to learn but never came close to master it.Latest Chapter

Sophia immediately nodded with what appeared to be genuine admiration, though internally she was calculating how to navigate this increasingly uncomfortable conversation without giving Penelope any additional opportunities to gloat or probe deeper into her personal circumstances. “Wow, it really sounds like you're actually living your life exactly the way you had always dreamed it would be,” she said with carefully modulated enthusiasm. “You're currently living the most fulfilled life imaginable, aren't you? And thank God that your husband actually loves you so much that he wants to protect you and provide for you in all these incredible ways. The level of care and attention he shows you is very, very impressive.”Sophia's words seemed to hit exactly the right note, feeding into Penelope's obvious desire for validation and recognition. Immediately, Penelope started laughing with genuine delight, a sound that carried both pleasure and a hint of superiority as she basked in what she
Chapter 600
Knowing fully well what Penelope actually wanted from this encounter, recognizing the trap that was being laid out before her with careful precision, Sophia knew instinctively that it would be of great disadvantage to her if she actually played directly into Penelope's hands. This was how their rivalry had always functioned - subtle verbal sparring disguised as polite conversation, each woman looking for weaknesses to exploit, for opportunities to assert dominance over the other. Sophia had no intention of giving Penelope that satisfaction today.Then she cleared her throat delicately, composing herself and putting on her own mask of polite civility as she responded. “Well, I've been extremely busy with school and everything related to that - you know how demanding academic pursuits can be. And then there's the family responsibilities and all the obligations that come with that, so I haven't really been out and about in society all that much lately.” She paused, then delivered what
Chapter 599
Immediately, hearing what Sophia just said and recognizing the serious tone in her voice that indicated this wasn't a negotiable point, Damien nodded his head eagerly, relief washing over his features as he realized she was actually going to agree to go with him. “Well, no problem at all,” he said quickly, his voice filled with genuine appreciation for her willingness to compromise. “What is your condition? I'll agree to whatever you think is necessary.”Without wasting another second, wanting to make sure her boundaries were crystal clear before they ventured out into public together, Sophia looked directly into his eyes with an expression that was both loving and stern. “Whatever happens while we're out there, make sure that you don't even show your face clearly to anyone, and more importantly, don't say anything to strangers. Like, seriously, don't say anything at all unless it's absolutely necessary.” Her voice carried the weight of genuine concern as she continued. “Keep whate

At that moment, the Brain started pacing up and down in his room, his footsteps creating a rhythmic pattern on the floor as his mind raced with possibilities and plans. His heart was beating faster than usual, and there was an energy coursing through him that he hadn't felt in a very long time. Yes, this was exactly the opportunity that he had been waiting for, perhaps without even fully realizing he'd been waiting for it until now. A perfect opportunity like this didn't come along often - a legitimate, professional reason for him to actually get closer to Serenity, to spend extended time with her, to be in her presence without it seeming suspicious or inappropriate.But it wasn't just about getting closer to her professionally, and he knew that if he was being honest with himself. This was also his chance to confess his feelings to her, to finally be open about emotions he had been keeping carefully locked away for far too long. Yes, he liked Serenity - more than liked her, if he was
Chapter 597
At that moment, hearing what Serenity just said with such unwavering conviction and immediate certainty, the Brain was genuinely shocked a little. The surprise hit him like a physical force because he absolutely had not been expecting Serenity to actually agree to something of this magnitude so quickly, so decisively, without even a moment's hesitation or a single follow-up question. In all his years of recruiting people for dangerous operations, he had never encountered someone who committed so instantly to something involving the Supreme King and the royal family. The silence stretched for just a beat too long as the Brain processed this unexpected turn of events, his mind racing to adjust his approach. Without wasting another second, realizing that he needed to make absolutely sure she understood the full scope of what she was agreeing to, the Brain said to Serenity with a tone that carried both concern and disbelief, “This is not something that you should just agree to like this
Chapter 596
Immediately, the Brain nodded on his end of the line, a gesture of acknowledgment even though she couldn't see it, and his voice took on a more businesslike tone as he continued speaking. “Well, that is actually a good thing to hear. I'm glad you're recovered and back to full strength.” He paused for just a moment, as if choosing his next words carefully, and when he spoke again there was a directness to his tone that cut through any lingering confusion. “For your information, I know that you must be wondering why I actually called you out of the blue like this, and you must be finding my call actually weird and unexpected and all of that. But just know that I didn't actually call you solely for the purpose of checking out on you or anything like that.”There was another brief pause, and Serenity found herself leaning forward slightly, her curiosity now fully piqued despite her earlier confusion. The Brain's voice continued, steady and measured. “I did genuinely want to make sure
