Andrea could also sense the increasingly heavy smell of toxic smoke. Therefore, after hearing the announcement, she quickly released the plump middle-aged man. She then went to her seat, intending to grab her protective gear.However, the plump man, who she had just restrained, suddenly pulled a sharp metal object from his pants and charged at Andrea, shouting furiously."I'll risk my life against you!"The incident happened so suddenly that Andrea didn't expect the plump man to attack at this moment. Moreover, the distance between them was very close, and she had no way to react in time."Ah…"All passengers present couldn't help but scream in horror, especially the flight attendant standing nearby, who looked terrified.Bam!Suddenly, the plump middle-aged man's body fell to the ground less than half a meter from Andrea. At this point, everyone was astonished and bewildered. Nobody knew how this aggressive man had just "collapsed" like that.Moreover, the plump middle-aged m
1:30 PM, Capital City.The plane safely landed at the airport, and Benjamin and Andrea began to leave the terminal. However, Benjamin didn't accompany Andrea to her home. Instead, he hailed a taxi and headed towards the city's outskirts."Driver, stop here, please!"Following the address Griselda had previously given him, Benjamin quickly instructed the taxi driver to stop outside town, more than 20 kilometers from the city center. He then slowly exited the taxi and headed towards a nearby park.Because he had coincidentally met an acquaintance while passing by the park earlier, so he wanted to visit them. However, he had only walked a few dozen meters when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.Two people approached Benjamin, dressed very discreetly, wearing hats and face masks. For a moment, Benjamin couldn't distinguish who they were. However, it seemed that they were heading towards him. So, he stopped and observed the two individuals."Hello, sir. We are members of Special Task Force
"Useless, all of you are utterly useless. You can't even handle a simple task like this, why do I even bother keeping you around?!" Crash! Sitting in an antique-styled study, a middle-aged man around forty years old was visibly furious. He forcefully smashed the teacup in his hand onto the floor, causing shards to scatter everywhere. Kneeling before the middle-aged man were a man and a woman. Though several shards struck them, even cutting a few gashes into their skin and causing fresh blood to drip, they didn't dare speak up. They could only lower their heads, not letting out a single whimper. Moreover, their eyes were filled with fear. "What, have all of you gone mute now? You're all suddenly silent?" The middle-aged man, still enraged, abruptly kicked one of the subordinates kneeling before him. Bang! The kick was powerful, causing the man's body to fly and crash into the wall. "Cough, cough..." Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, the man wasn't severely injured, but
Contrary to their expectations, Grandpa Jerry didn't seem overly distant or difficult to approach. Instead, as soon as he saw his granddaughter, a smile appeared on his somewhat aged face: "Caroline, when did you come back? Why didn't you call so I could pick you up!" Caroline seemed a bit flustered by her grandfather's inquiry, shaking her head. Then she turned to Benjamin and Ancel and began introducing them: "Grandpa, these two are my friends. This is Ancel; don't let his mature appearance fool you – he's only a few years older than me. And this is Benjamin, my former colleague." As she introduced them, Caroline gestured towards Benjamin and Ancel as she spoke to her grandfather. Hearing his granddaughter's introduction, Grandpa Jerry's face showed a hint of light. He then observed Benjamin and Ancel, who were standing in front of him. Suddenly, he turned to his granddaughter and uttered a sentence that left everyone present dumbfounded. "Caroline, which one of these two lads is
However, after some thought, he managed to suppress his anger, carefully looking at the young man standing in front of him and said: "Please, tell the old man inside that I am Benjamin Arnold from New Harbor. I am certain he will let me in to see him.""You're really annoying, don't you hear what I'm saying? My master is very busy, and it doesn't matter if you're Benjamin or Arnold. I already told you, if you don't have an appointment, come back another day. There are many patients here who need to see the doctor and get their prescriptions. I don't have time to pass along messages for you."After saying this, the young man seemed quite annoyed, repeatedly gesturing for Benjamin to leave. If it weren't for knowing this was Old Master Wade's pharmacy and that he was a highly respected figure in traditional medicine, Benjamin would have been tempted to slap the young man in front of him."Fine, I'll come back another day!"Seeing Benjamin turn to leave, the young man couldn't help but g
"Miracle doctor, please save our child!" Outside the drugstore door, a man and a woman suddenly appeared, clutching their young boy, and hurriedly rushed towards the older man Wade, crying out in desperation. For a moment, the eyes of everyone present turned towards the three of them. Seeing this scene, Titus couldn't help but turn pale.At the same time, Titus felt angry, intending to push this trio out: "What are you trying to do? Do you know who this is? My master doesn't just heal anyone who asks. Leave quickly and don't disturb my master's rest." He said, threatening to use force to evict the family. However, old man Wade held out his hand to stop him.Then, with a gentle voice, he looked at the three kneeling on the floor: "Alright, let them stand up." Hearing this, Titus thought older man Wade agreed with his actions. His face lightened up with satisfaction: "Did you hear that? Stand up quickly and stop bothering my master."On hearing this, the couple's faces turned pale ins
However, before Benjamin had time to ponder further, the older man suddenly removed a wooden box from the drawer beside his seat.Inside the box was an item.And the moment this item was revealed, a familiar surge of energy made the tattoo on Benjamin's left chest resonate with intense vitality: "This...this...”.Upon seeing Benjamin's reaction, the older man, Wade's opaque eyes, suddenly lit up.Simultaneously, his voice reverberated slowly: "Over thirty years ago, I was much younger, not as accomplished as I am today.At that time, I saved a man.His name was Raymond Arnold.” Upon saying this, the old man's voice suddenly halted, his eyes filled with profound meaning as he looked at Benjamin. And at this moment, hearing the more senior man mention the name Raymond Arnold, Benjamin couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.Because the name sounded exceedingly familiar, as if Benjamin had heard it somewhere before, after a while, Benjamin finally remembered.Raymond Arnold, wasn't t
The sudden and bizarre event brought about a sense of unease in Benjamin, making him quickly take a defensive stance, warily watching his surroundings.However, before Benjamin could take action, the voice echoed again: "My son, don't be afraid! I am but a fragment of a memory preserved within this jade pendant.This is a treasure passed down in our family for thousands of years.This time, thanks to you activating the full potential of the pendant, I have been able to manifest here again.” Hearing the voice explain, Benjamin was at a loss for words.But he remained on high alert.After all, having an unidentifiable voice suddenly appear in one's head is unsettling, regardless of who you are. And it was as if the voice understood Benjamin's thoughts.So, it spoke again: "Son, I know what worries you.However, I only have a little time left and can only answer some of your questions.But this legacy within the pendant, if you've managed to unlock it yourself...Then, I have nothing to
