The room's door was shut tight, but Seth could still detect a strange fragrance emanating from within."This is..." He sniffed the air, and his pupils contracted slightly. "Sacred Blood Fig!"This was a very special plant. The fragrance it exuded was a strange combination of fresh blood, roses, and something burnt. Seth had come across records of it in ancient texts, and it left a deep impression on him due to its uniqueness. It possessed two remarkable characteristics. The first was that when the matured plant was consumed after maturing, it would allow one to form an indestructible body impervious to weapons, fire, and water. One's blood would have a unique fragrance, and the corpse would remain uncorrupted for a hundred years after death. The other aspect that made the plant special was its rarity. When found, a woman with a specific constitution would be needed to irrigate the plant daily with her blood. This woman with her unique constitution was referred to as a ‘Sacred B

The leaders of the six major financial conglomerates organized another urgent video conference. This time, all six of them had somber expressions on their faces and a lingering sense of fear.Hansel spoke first, "I suspect Seth has a Ninth-rank Grandmaster skilled in assassination under him."“He probably has more than one. Or else it wouldn't be possible for him to eliminate so many of our grandmasters right under our noses. It's absolutely terrifying!" Soren added ominously. God only knew how panicked they were upon learning this. If it were not for their extreme caution and reluctance to appear in public, they would have likely had their heads severed in their sleep last night.Douglas took a deep breath and said, "It’s unlikely that we’ll be able to use force against him. We don't know much about him, so there goes trying to capture those around him for leverage. What if he's a heartless person? It might backfire.""I have an idea,” Fyodor spoke up in a deep voice. The othe

Shonda turned to look at Seth and once again, her expression turned gentle. The switch happened with remarkable sophistication. "Please don't mind him. Grandmother isn't a materialistic woman. She's just happy that you came."Shonda's grandmother smiled warmly, offering a drumstick to Seth. "Yes, I'm delighted that you're here. Don't feel burdened.”Seeing her being so warm toward Seth, Harold felt a feeling of unease bubble up in him. He discreetly looked at Sylvan. After all, he had spent a substantial amount of money on this talentless man in his pursuit of Shonda. Sylvan, rolling his eyes, said, "Grandmother, that's not entirely right. The value of a gift doesn't matter, but as a guest, he should've prepared one. "Look at Harold; he put so much effort into selecting this beautiful bangle for you. That shows his sincerity. On the other hand, this guy has shown no gesture at all, which indicates that he doesn't care about you or my cousin."Harold secretly gave Sylvan a thumbs

"Alright, alright, alright. I'll keep this revenge in mind!"Harold spoke through gritted teeth before dropping on his hands and knees and crawling out as fast as he could."Seth, here's to you. I knew from the moment I saw you that you were an elite, and I was right."When Sylvan offered him a glass of wine, Seth calmly replied, "You can leave too."Sylvan's smile froze; he was going to say more.However, seeing Seth's deep eyes, Sylvan wisely shut up.He chuckled perfunctorily. "Well, I have to go first. Take your time with the food."When he reached the door, Shonda suddenly said, "You don't have to go to the office anymore."Her tone left no room for negotiation.Sylvan was anxious as he looked at his grandmother for help.However, his grandmother ignored him.Sylvan was regretful, but it was pointless to regret it now.He could only blame himself for being blind and ruining his bright future.After the two annoying pests left, the three had a happy meal.After dinner

At 6.30 AM, Seth woke up right on time.However, he saw Shonda draped over him in a funny position when he opened his eyes."Woman, you're playing with fire," Seth whispered.He tried to get up, but Shonda clung to him like a koala. He would wake her up if he pushed too hard.She would be embarrassed.'Forget it,' Seth thought.Seth could only close his eyes again and cultivate silently.Shonda slowly woke up at 7.30 AM. She only found herself sleeping so well. Her body felt warm, like it was leaning against a heater.The next moment, she almost screamed. She withdrew her hand like a flash of lightning, her heart in turmoil.'What have I done last night?' she thought.Gently withdrawing her hands and feet, she left Seth and returned to bed.She covered her face with the quilt and felt mixed feelings.It took her a while to poke her head out, look at Seth on the floor, and yell."Mr. Yeager, are you awake?"It took four or five consecutive calls before Seth ‘woke up’.He
