"Back then, the Bailey Family bought the land at Dragon's Curve Bay for a mere thirty million dollars. It was considered a foolish investment at the time—a remote wasteland where even birds wouldn't shit."Mayor Vance paced the living room of the Zane Estate, his eyes gleaming with the insider knowledge of a career politician. He tapped his finger against his temple."But if the provincial plan goes through... that piece of dirt will be worth at least three billion. The Sutton Family just won the lottery without even buying a ticket."Dragon's Curve Bay spanned over ten thousand acres on the outskirts of Northriver. Historically, it had been a bandit's den in ancient times—a rugged, untamed landscape of overgrown weeds, treacherous cliffs, and swampy lowlands. It was desolate, inaccessible, and largely forgotten by the modern world.However, hidden deep within that rugged terrain was a Millennium-old Buddhist Temple, long abandoned but architecturally

Faye Zane's body suddenly tensed, her muscles locking as if hit by a jolt of electricity. Her long, slender legs clamped together tightly, and her skin flushed a deep, feverish pink, resembling a ripe peach ready to burst.Her eyes, glazed and misty, locked onto Jack Brooks. They were devoid of reason, filled only with a primal, desperate need."It hurts... so itchy... help me..."With a sudden burst of hysterical strength, Faye sat up. She lunged forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Jack's neck. She pressed her burning body against his chest, trembling violently like a leaf in a storm.Jack was in the middle of disinfecting a silver needle, preparing to open the "Heaven's Gate." He was caught off guard by the soft, fragrant assault.He felt the heat radiating from her skin through her thin underwear. Her breath was hot against his neck, and her cherry-red lips were seeking his, driven by the chaotic fire in her blood."Another episode already? Tha

Jack Brooks had been lounging on the sofa in the corner, utterly uninterested in the Zane Family's drama. He was busy playing a mobile game, his thumbs tapping rhythmically on the screen.Even when Charles Lewis connected the video call to Bernie Wolfe, Jack only raised an eyebrow slightly, barely glancing at the massive television screen.But when the old man on the screen dared to call him a "Little Bastard," Jack couldn't let it slide."You dare call our Dean an old..."Charles Lewis spun around, his face flushing with righteous fury. He was about to tear into Jack for disrespecting the sanctity of the King of Medicine. But the words died in his throat.On the screen, something impossible was happening.Bernie Wolfe, the venerable Dean, the man who carried himself with the dignity of a sage, suddenly jerked upright in his chair as if he had been electrocuted. His eyes widened in sheer terror. His hands, usually steady enough to perform microsurgery,

"Shut up!" Gigi Vance hissed, her eyes burning with triumph and disdain.Everyone in the room turned to look at Jack Brooks. Their gazes were sharp, filled with accusation and annoyance. To them, he was a buzzing fly, a jinx trying to curse the treatment because of his own bruised ego.Jack shrugged his shoulders, unfazed by the collective hostility."Fine," he muttered. "I'll be downstairs. Call me when the screaming starts."He turned and walked out of the bedroom, his hands in his pockets. He descended the grand staircase, found a comfortable leather sofa in the corner of the living room, and sprawled out. He pulled out his phone and started playing a mobile game, looking for all the world like a bored teenager waiting for his parents to finish a meeting.Upstairs, the atmosphere shifted from tension to anticipation.Charles Lewis adjusted the final needle. He stepped back, wiping his hands on a silk handkerchief with the air of an artist finishing a

Frank Zane sighed, the sound heavy with the weight of a grandfather's despair.For days, he had pinned all his hopes on Jack Brooks. He believed the young man was a hidden dragon, a savior sent by fate. But now? The logic presented by Gigi Vance was irrefutable. The refusal of the money, the lack of credentials... it all pointed to a scam.Defeated, Frank looked at the arrogant professor."Then... I will have to trouble Professor Lewis," Frank said, his voice lacking any enthusiasm. "Please, do your best."Charles Lewis twitched his nose, irritated.What is this attitude? he thought, offended. I am the savior you just prayed for. I am the expert from the Imperial Capital. Shouldn't you be bowing? Shouldn't you be weeping with gratitude?The Zane Family's reaction was lukewarm at best. They looked like people settling for a generic brand because the premium one was out of stock. It was clear that the "poison" of Jack Brooks's influence ran deep.Fin

"Return it on my knees?"Gigi Vance stared at Jack Brooks, blinking as if she had just heard a dog recite Shakespeare. Then, she burst into a peal of laughter that sounded like glass breaking."You really are delusional," she scoffed, wiping a tear of mirth from her eye. "Forget about whether you 'give' or 'take' face. Look at yourself. You are a live-in son-in-law of a third-rate family. You have no status, no power, and no background."She took a step closer, her heels clicking on the pavement. "What 'face' do you have to give me? You have nothing. You can only offer unconditional obedience."She turned away, dismissing him as a clown. She looked at her mentor, Charles Lewis."Teacher," Gigi said respectfully. "Shall we grab some lunch before we head to the Zane Estate? There is a Michelin-star restaurant nearby.""No need!" Charles Lewis waved his hand impatiently. His face was set in a grim mask of offended dignity."Curing Faye Zane will only
