The astonished stares that were originally directed at Jessica now turned towards Benjamin.Someone remarked, "Damn, is he looking to stir up Nathan Grave once more? He raised the price without restraint, catapulting it from 10 million to 15 million in an instant!"Another voice chimed in, "Even if he does harbor such intentions, I doubt he'll succeed this time. Nathan might be arrogant and impulsive, but he's not foolish enough to fall into the same trap twice."Benjamin could hear the comments loud and clear, yet he opted to remain silent. The less information they had, the more advantageous it would be.Jessica smiled at the impressive bid. "I've got 15 million dollars on the table! Any takers for a higher bid?"No one dared to compete with Benjamin. Fifteen million dollars was too high for reasonable people.At that moment, Valerie anxiously squeezed Benjamin's arm and whispered, "Ben, isn't fifteen million dollars too much? We still don't know the properties of that mushroom; it
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
