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
However, they had yet to respond to Benjamin's query.Contrarily, the female assassin Benjamin had just counterattacked stood to one side.At this moment, she subtly moved half a step closer to Benjamin.Then, she used an incredibly focused gaze toward Benjamin and spoke: "We're only here to retrieve an item. If you hand it over, we will leave immediately." Upon hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but frown.However, after some thought, Benjamin deduced what they were after.The thing is, he wanted to avoid handing it over.Moreover, even if he wanted to give it now, he couldn't. Therefore, after hearing the female assassin's request, Benjamin feigned momentary contemplation.Then, he shook his head in response."Can't do it. This item is essential to me.If you want to take it, let's see how capable you are." As soon as Benjamin said this, all the assassins wore angry expressions.She could hardly contain herself, especially the female assassin who had just advised him, and huffed o
Benjamin couldn't hold back as Curtis finished speaking and spat saliva directly at his face. Caught off guard momentarily, Curtis was hit by Benjamin's spit.However, Curtis only slightly furrowed his brow.Then, he calmly wiped the spit off his face."Benjamin, even though your power is much greater than mine,But now you're restrained and don't have any energy left.If I wanted to deal with you, could you still sit here comfortably?" While speaking, Curtis kept his gaze on Benjamin, but deep within his eyes, there was a hint of wariness.However, seeing Benjamin's current state, besides bravado, he couldn't threaten him in any way. At this point, Curtis lowered his voice, intending to continue advising Benjamin: "Benjamin, you should understand your current situation.The quicker you hand over the item, the more I can plead with the organization to forgive you.Even if you agree to join the organization, you can become a full member like me.You..." Just over halfway through Curtis
Initially, the mysterious woman had a touch of hesitation in her heart, but upon hearing Curtis's warning, her eyes became even more resolute, stepping closer to Benjamin: "Leader…." Curtis once again wanted to caution her.However, the mysterious woman, somewhat annoyed, turned her head and barked loudly: "Quiet!"Hearing this shout, although he wanted to continue advising her, Curtis could only begrudgingly stay silent, not daring to say another word. Observing the entire exchange between the two, a slight smirk appeared on the corner of Benjamin's lips.However, Benjamin's move was discreet and wasn't noticed by the two before him. Walking to a distance just over half a step away from Benjamin.The mysterious woman then halted, her eyes filled with wariness as
