Benjamin hissed like a snake, "No, Nathan. This slap won't be the second time."Nathan looked at him tremblingly. "What are you doing?"Benjamin remained standing tall, his demeanor composed. He smiled ever so slightly as he spoke, "You publicly demean your girlfriend's pride, and when she reacts with anger, your response is to resort to violence. As a man, I'm more ashamed of your attitude than anything else."Nathan exerted all his strength to free his arm from Benjamin's vice-like grip, akin to the grasp of a hawk. Yet, no matter how much force he applied, it made no difference.Now, the man just realized that Benjamin possessed a greater hidden power than he thought.Earlier when they met at the entrance of the Timeless House Center, Nathan had punched Benjamin in the face with everything he had, but instead, he felt like he had punched hard concrete. His hand was crushed and temporarily paralyzed.Currently, Benjamin was gripping his arm like a hawk. Nathan could not even shift h
Valerie gazed at the dimly lit road ahead, her vehicle maintaining a steady pace. "Ben, would you like to stop by the restaurant for dinner?"Benjamin cast a sidelong glance at Valerie, their eyes connecting before he offered a smile. "No, Val. I reckon we should head straight home. I've got to whip up some medicine for your grandfather pronto," he said with a serious tone.Valerie nodded in understanding, sensing the urgency in Benjamin's words. "Alright, let's head home then. I can whip up dinner there; we've got some raw ingredients we can use," she suggested.Valerie rarely cooked her own meals. She usually frequented restaurants or opted for delivery services.However, over the past two days during Benjamin's stay at her house, she found herself cooking for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner—three times a day.Valerie never minded this. Instead, she got a special feeling that was hard to explain. It was like a feeling of affection, but a little different. When she saw Benjamin enj
"Your face... your face..." Valerie stammered."What's wrong with my face?" Benjamin's panic grew.Valerie continued to point at him in astonishment. "I have no idea, but it seems like your face is way more handsome than the last time I laid eyes on it!"Relief washed over Benjamin as he let out a sigh. Valerie's shock had sent him into a panic, yet it became apparent that her expression held genuine goodwill."Perhaps it's just your perception, Val. We only crossed paths thirty minutes ago; how could my face have undergone such a drastic transformation?""Oh..."Valerie found it hard to buy into Benjamin's explanation. There was a noticeable shift in Benjamin's physique and facial features. Somehow, an enigmatic aura of attractiveness and charisma enveloped him. What was once an ordinary face now seemed more chiseled and proportionate. His hazel eyes sparkled with a mysterious glint, and a subtle smile accentuated his charm. Valerie couldn't deny the heightened sense of confidence e
"Doctor Frost," Albert greeted, nodding his head respectfully. "You really pulled us through."Benjamin attempted to assist the old man to his feet. "Mr. Morgan, there's no need for such formality. I'm younger than you, and besides, you can't address me as 'Doctor.' I don't possess the qualifications for that title."Yet, Albert insisted and proclaimed that he couldn't help but bow his head to the man who had brought good fortune to his family."No matter if you're younger or older than me, you deserve this respect." Albert Morgan smiled warmly and said, "Doctor Frost, Valerie shared with me about the $20 million contract you were able to secure for our company. I'm at a loss for words on how to express our gratitude to you. It's not just about the money; it's about the future of our family's business."Benjamin, with a humble demeanor, said, "Mr. Morgan, I'm just a regular guy. If good fortune smiles upon your kin, it's like a celestial gift, a nod from the heavens for the kindness t
Qi energy coursed through Albert Morgan's body, swiftly pinpointing the issue. Upon uncovering the damaged neural network in the old man's brain, the Reiki energy concentrated all its attention on the task of repair.The core of stroke disease lies in blocked brain nerves, and at this moment, Qi energy effortlessly heats up the nerve pathways, dissolving the blockages like melting away pipe obstructions. Almost immediately, the blood flow resumed its smooth course.Earlier, Benjamin had applied a manipulation to Albert's brain, urging it to work twice as hard. This allowed the brain to function nearly normally even though some nerves within were obstructed.Nevertheless, the heightened performance of the brain under such strain would lead to quicker burnout. This prompted Benjamin to advise Albert Morgan to opt for the swiftest treatment available. Prolonging the condition might risk damage to other tissues in his brain and create additional challenges for Benjamin in the future.At
Valerie left the room without hesitation, quickly returning with a medium-sized handheld mirror. She didn't waste a moment before presenting it to her grandfather.Upon receiving the mirror, Old Man Morgan hastily directed the stuff toward his face. Moments later, his hands trembled violently, becoming unnaturally limp. Unbeknownst to him, the mirror slipped from his grasp and shattered.He touched his face and became hysterical."Good heavens! This is unbelievable!" he gasped, eyes wide in awe and amazement. "Look at my face! It's like I've turned back the clock!"He wasn't wrong at all.The wrinkles on his face had disappeared. Her rough skin had become smooth. And even his eyes, which had been myopic and blurry, were now healthy and clear again.Albert Morgan stared in disbelief at the transformation. Now, he appeared even younger than his own son!Valerie, Johan, and Susan gazed upon the scene with tears welling up in their eyes.Meanwhile, Benjamin regarded Old Man Morgan with a
While everyone indulged in Albert's barbecue, Valerie suddenly spoke up to Albert, "Grandpa, I believe Morgan Company Limited has grown substantial enough to consider potential acquisitions of small startup companies. We've amassed a significant capital, thanks to the $20 million contract from Platinum Estate."Valerie conveyed her intention, "So, I'm contemplating renaming the company to Morgan Group. What do you think, Grandpa?"Old Man Morgan replied without hesitation, "That's a good idea, Valerie. How can you get such a great thought like that? I'm totally with you. If you're considering acquiring some subsidiaries, changing the company name to Morgan Group won't hurt. It won't have any impact on our previous contracts; they're already set in stone."Valerie smiled joyfully and added, "Grandpa, since you've given your approval, I'll organize a press conference tonight to announce that intention to the public. Anyway, your presence will be needed."This time, Albert gazed at his g
Benjamin waved his hand, signaling for Joshua to dismiss the concern. Now, it was Joshua's turn to seek guidance, "Mr. Frost, I've been invited to address the media in a press conference to confirm the contract awarded to Morgan Company Limited. I'm unsure about what to say. Could you provide some advice?"With a casual air, Benjamin responded, "Since you've sought my advice, I'll send it to you via instant message shortly."Simultaneously, the familiar sound of footsteps reached Benjamin's ears. As he turned his head in the direction of the sound, he spotted Valerie making her way toward him.Tonight, the girl exuded formality. She donned an executive suit, complemented by black loafers, and a subtle touch of makeup.Nevertheless, the girl's innate beauty remained impossible to conceal. She continued to stand out, drawing more attention than her counterparts. Some men, irrespective of age, couldn't help but gaze at her with a sense of fascination and excitement."Finally, Valerie Mor
Benjamin remained silent, unmoved to say a single word to Sienna, who was gazing at him with hopeful eyes. The odd look Benjamin gave her made Sienna freeze, unable to hide her confusion behind her gaze.Suddenly, Lebron appeared behind Ariana, bursting into laughter upon hearing Sienna's words. Lebron’s laughter filled the room, indicating that he was entertained by Sienna’s remarks. However, his laughter quickly turned into an expression of disgust as he looked at Sienna with disbelief."Ugh, you... rude and disrespectful, and even worse, you're overconfident," said Lebron with a tone full of disgust. His piercing gaze reflected his disapproval of Sienna’s attitude, which he found both disrespectful and overly confident.Lebron, with undeniable doubt, questioned Sienna's ability to lead the company. To him, Sienna’s experience as an idol was insufficient to prove that she had the necessary qualifications in the business world. Lebron dismissed Sienna’s profession as an idol, deeming
Sharp-eyed Jack's gaze pierced towards Sienna, his eyes betraying the complex swirl of emotions in his heart. A sharp pang of jealousy and disappointment churned within him, their intensity threatening to breach the calm facade he struggled to maintain. Despite his efforts to appear composed, the tumultuous waves of emotion inside him were difficult to conceal.His gaze lingered on Sienna, grappling with conflicting feelings—prickling jealousy at her unwitting praise of Benjamin, disappointment in himself for feeling this way, and a deep-seated concern for their mission's integrity. Jack's jaw clenched slightly, his knuckles whitening as he fought to regain control over his turbulent emotions.A flicker of vulnerability flashed across Jack's features before he steadied himself, forcing a neutral expression. He took a deliberate breath, trying to channel his focus back to the task at hand despite the emotional storm raging within him.Jack took a deep breath, his chest rising and falli
Seinna stood frozen, her gaze locked onto Benjamin's face from an unexpectedly close distance. Her hazel eyes, still wide with the remnants of surprise and relief, now scrutinized his features with a mixture of curiosity and intrigue.Benjamin's face, though not conventionally handsome in the classical sense, exuded a commanding presence that seized Seinna's attention. His square jawline conveyed determination, while his piercing eyes held a depth that hinted at a complex inner world. His brows, furrowed slightly in concern, added a hint of intensity to his otherwise composed demeanor.What struck Seinna most was Benjamin's charisma—an intangible quality that radiated from him effortlessly. It was in the confident set of his shoulders, the firm yet gentle grip of his hand that had steadied her moments ago, and the unwavering focus in his gaze. There was something magnetic about him, a magnetism that transcended mere physical appearance and drew her in.As she stood there, caught in th
The executives broke down completely, their cries filling the room with an overwhelming wave of despair and anguish. Each tear seemed to carry the weight of their vivid imaginations, conjuring images of harsh landscapes, relentless tasks, and isolation that stretched into eternity. The thought of facing such trials in the remote wilderness gripped them with a visceral fear, their minds racing with the uncertainties and hardships that lay ahead.Meanwhile, Benjamin remained stoic and unyielding, his expression a mask of unflinching resolve. His gaze bore into the executives with a steely intensity, devoid of any hint of mercy or compassion. They had stained his company with their actions, and now faced the full weight of his judgment.The room seemed to shrink under the weight of Benjamin's unwavering stare, the air thick with tension and the palpable sense of impending consequences. Each second stretched, the silence punctuated only by the faint echoes of the executives' despairing so
In the tense hush that gripped the room, Mr. Chen maintained a steadfast silence, his lips pressed together in a resolute refusal to speak. Benjamin's patience wore thin with each passing moment, the atmosphere in the room heavy with unspoken tension and the weight of unresolved issues. Every second felt fragile, like delicate tissue paper under the pressure of unanswered questions and the gravity of the situation at hand.Turning towards Lebron, Benjamin's gaze held a silent plea for resolution. His eyes, usually steady and composed, now betrayed a hint of urgency and determination. In that shared glance, there was an unspoken understanding—an acknowledgment of the need to navigate the complexities before them with clarity and decisiveness.Lebron, attuned to Benjamin's unspoken signals, stepped forward with quiet determination. His presence filled the room, a calming yet assertive force amid the mounting tension.With a nod in response to Benjamin's signal, Lebron confidently withd
Benjamin's sharp stare fixed on Lebron, conveying a silent yet commanding message through his eyes. It was a wordless directive, a signal for the young man standing before him to step aside and allow Benjamin to take charge of the unfolding situation.Lebron quickly understood Benjamin's message conveyed through his eyes. Without hesitation, Lebron stepped forward, approaching Mr. Chen who still knelt in front of Benjamin.With a decisive motion, Lebron forcefully grabbed Mr. Chen's arm, pulling him away from Benjamin's feet. Though Mr. Chen's body struggled to remain rigid, for Lebron, the action posed no difficulty. With controlled strength, Lebron managed to release Mr. Chen's grip and guided him back to his original position.Other company executives witnessing the scene were frozen in fear. The electric sensation emanating from Lebron's actions kept them rooted in place, their faces pale with unspoken dread. The room became tense and filled with unease, creating a palpably charge
In front of the heavy, imposing room door, Lebron's serious countenance remained unchanged as he methodically turned the handle, revealing no hint of emotion. His actions spoke of a deep-seated resolve and a meticulous approach to the impending confrontation within. Benjamin, positioned just behind Lebron, mirrored his colleague's stoic demeanor, his face a study of calm determination as he prepared himself mentally for what lay ahead. The silence that enveloped them seemed to amplify the significance of the moment, each second stretching out as they stood poised on the threshold of a critical juncture in the fate of Treasure Village.Lebron, his hand reaching eagerly for the door handle, conveyed a sense of anticipation that reverberated in the charged atmosphere around them. With a determined grip, he attempted to turn the handle, only to find it frustratingly unyielding—the door remained firmly locked, thwarting their immediate entry. This unexpected obstacle momentarily halted the
Upon arriving, Benjamin's eyes quickly caught sight of Lebron standing at the entrance, his figure silhouetted against the fading light of dusk. He parked his car with a sense of urgency and purpose, the engine's hum fading into the background as he stepped out onto the pavement. Lebron, ever watchful, turned towards Benjamin as he approached, a faint expression of concern mixed with readiness marking his features.Lebron stood with a vigilant demeanor, his gaze unwavering as Benjamin approached. His brow was slightly furrowed, betraying a mix of concern and readiness for whatever awaited them. Dressed in a crisp, dark suit that accentuated his stature, Lebron exuded a sense of professionalism and preparedness. His attire was immaculate, complemented by a subtle hint of a tie peeking from beneath his jacket, suggesting attention to detail and readiness for the occasion.As Benjamin drew nearer, Lebron's expression softened marginally, a gesture of acknowledgment tinged with the weigh
Without a moment's hesitation, Benjamin swiftly retrieved his phone once more, his fingers moving with purposeful speed. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, he navigated through his contacts, meticulously scrolling until he found Lebron's name. With a sense of urgency weighing heavily on his mind, he composed a message, carefully choosing each word to convey the importance of the impending conversation. Finally satisfied with his words, Benjamin pressed send, dispatching the message into the digital ether, knowing that the next steps would be crucial in unraveling the mysteries surrounding Treasure Village.[Lebron, you must come with me to Treasure Village right now. I'll wait for you there!]After sending the message, Benjamin waited anxiously, his heart pounding with anticipation for Lebron's response. The seconds stretched into minutes, each moment intensifying the already tense atmosphere that surrounded him. The soft glow of his phone illuminated his face in the dimly lit
