Embracing Wealth: The Exceptional Raymond Lawson Chapter 40
“That man is even stronger than Caleb,” her sister continued, her tone matter-of-fact. “His family’s influence is on another level. Connections, power, money—he has it all.”Dahlia felt her stomach turn slightly.She already knew this.It wasn’t a secret that Jefferson’s family controlled a good portion of the city’s business and political scene.If someone wanted status, wealth, and security, then marrying into the Bushman family was a golden ticket.Her mother sighed lightly. “It’s not a bad idea.”Dahlia sat in silence, her hands clenched lightly against the soft fabric of her dress.The air in the room felt heavy, suffocating in a way she couldn’t quite describe.Her mother’s voice still lingered, discussing marriage, connections, wealth, and status—as if nothing else mattered.As if nothing had happened today.As if she hadn’t just barely escaped being assaulted.At that moment her heart twisted bitterly.Not once had they asked if she was okay.Not once had they shown any concer

There was no politeness, no attempt at subtlety—just raw condescension in their tone. Raymond raised an eyebrow, his expression calm, uninterested. Seeing his lack of response, the first guard scoffed, shaking his head. “Let me guess—you got lost? Thought you could just waltz in and take a look around?” The second guard let out a mocking chuckle. “We get people like this every year. Wannabe doctors. Low-level assistants thinking they can sneak in.” He tilted his head, smirking. “Let me make this simple—turn around and walk away before you embarrass yourself.” Then Silence followed. Raymond said nothing. Instead, he reached into his pocket, pulling out a sleek, black-and-gold VIP membership card—one given to him by Malisa’s grandfather. At first, the guards didn’t even glance at it. But then—They saw the emblem. The emblem of Malisa’s family—one of the most respected and feared names in the entire industry. The moment they recognized it, their smug expressi

Dressed in a traditional, custom-made physician’s robe, embroidered with golden patterns symbolizing authority, Kelly Bushman stepped in like a king surveying his kingdom. By his side was Jefferson Bushman as he walked confidently, his smirk wide, his eyes scanning the room with obvious arrogance. Behind them, a large entourage followed—doctors, assistants, influential figures, and personal bodyguards. It was a grand entrance, meant to show dominance, to remind everyone who controlled the medical world in this city. And more importantly—To make one thing clear. He would be the one who would walk away with the Chairman’s seat today. As Jefferson walked alongside Kelly, his eyes darted around the hall, searching. For days, he had been hunting for Raymond. Ever since their last encounter, Raymond had disappeared—like a shadow, untraceable, It had infuriated him. No one. No one had ever dared to humiliate him and then vanish as if nothing had happened. But today—one of

Upon hearing the announcement Kelly just gave, the room fell into silence. No one at that moment could summon the courage to challenge Kelly. Even Malisa's jaw tightened as her gaze was fixed on Kelly. She knew how power drunk he was, and what he was proposing was wrong, but she couldn't challenge him either. Then Kelly stood up and took a slow step forward, letting his words sink into the crowd. “Why waste time with drawn-out battles?” At that moment his gaze swept across the room, challenging, taunting. “This time I suggest we change the rules.” Then a pause followed, just long enough to build anticipation. “A gauntlet.” The moment the word left his lips, the room erupted into hushed whispers. Kelly continued, ignoring the murmurs. “If anyone or you want the Chairman's position—fight me directly.” His confidence was absolute. “No brackets. No elimination rounds. No second chances.” The crowd shifted uneasily as he dropped the next condition. “And here's where it gets int
Embracing Wealth: The Exceptional Raymond Lawson Chapter 44
For a brief moment, Kelly studied him, as if trying to remember if he had seen this nobody before. But after a second of silent evaluation, Kelly's interest faded. He had far greater concerns than some unknown participant. To him, Raymond was nothing. Not worth his time, not worth his attention either. He had come here to assert his dominance, to crush anyone who stood in his way, and to claim the Dragonblood Nightshade. People like Raymond? They wouldn't last long anyway. And as for Malisa? She might have been the granddaughter of the chairman, but she had no medical expertise, no martial arts background. She was young, inexperienced, and ultimately irrelevant to his goals. He had no reason to care about her opinion or opposition. At that moment the atmosphere in the grand medical hall shifted as someone stood up. To their surprise it was the West Lake's Representative, who stepped forward, his presence commanding respect. The West Lake's Representative was no ordinary healer.

With blinding speed, he lunged toward Kelly, his movements fluid and precise. The crowd gasped at the display—few eyes could even track his movements.But Kelly didn't move. He remained perfectly still, watching with an expression of boredom.At the last possible moment, Kelly merely shifted slightly to one side. The West Lake Representative's attack missed by a hair's breadth. Before he could recover, Kelly casually flicked a finger against his chest.That simple touch sent the West Lake Representative flying backward. He crashed into the ground with a sickening thud that echoed throughout the hall.“Is that all?” Kelly asked, not even bothering to hide his disappointment.At that moment the crowd fell silent, shocked by how easily their hope had been repelled.But the West Lake Representative was not defeated. With remarkable resilience, he pulled himself up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.“You'll need more than that to defeat me,” he declared, wiping the blood away.

He sneered, shaking his head. His voice was laced with mockery as his gaze swept across the hall, his black mist swirling ominously around him. “Surely, among all of you 'medical elites,' there must be at least one person with enough spine to step forward?” Again Silence followed. No one moved, then a smirk curled on his lips. “Pathetic.” Then—A chair scraped against the floor. Slowly, a figure stood up. Tall. Commanding. Unshaken. Immediately the crowd turned their heads in shock. It was Hullvilla's Representative. Hullvilla's Representative was known as the strongest healer of his region—a man whose knowledge of herbal medicine and spirit energy infusion was considered unparalleled. Unlike standard doctors who relied on herbs and potions, techniques, Hullvilla's Representative had mastered a unique art. A technique that allowed him to summon the essence of rare herbs, forging living entities known as Medicine Spirits—a fusion of healing and battle power. With this ability, he c
Embracing Wealth: The Exceptional Raymond Lawson Chapter 47
Seeing what had just happened, his face was drained of color, his body trembling as he struggled to summon another Medicine Spirit. But the moment he tried to channel his energy— A horrifying realization struck him. His Power… Was Sealed. His meridians felt blocked, his spiritual energy was completely suppressed. It was as if the very foundation of his strength had been stolen. Immediately his eyes widened. “No… This isn't possible.” Then Desperation set in. He clenched his fists, forcing every last ounce of his will to push past whatever was restraining him— But his body refused to respond. Then his vision started blurring, his head spinning from the sheer exhaustion. Then—His knees buckled. His body collapsed. Unconscious.The moment Hullvilla's Representative fell silent, the entire hall shuddered with a chilling realization. This wasn't just a competition anymore. This was a massacre. No one could stop Kelly Bushman, the west lake representative was strong but Hullvilla''s was

Some people leaned forward in anticipation. Others frowned in disbelief.But one thing was clear: something about Raymond’s plain wooden box had stirred the attention of the banquet’s most knowledgeable man.And now… everyone wanted to know if it was fake or real.At that moment Waylon folded his arms, a confident grin forming on his face as Maxwell stood close to the chairman with focused steps. Though Maxwell’s interest puzzled many, Waylon remained convinced—there was no way Raymond's pill could outshine his. Even if it was real, how could it possibly compare to a gift from a second-level alchemist? So instead of stopping Maxwell, Waylon turned toward Raymond and sneered. “Well then, Raymond,” he said, loud enough for everyone to hear, “do you even dare to let Mr. Maxwell inspect it? Or are you just hoping no one looks too closely at your little trinket?” More laughter rippled through the hall. “Probably bought it from some back alley.” “He doesn’t look nervous at all… maybe

Raymond stood quietly near the center of the hall, his presence calm, his posture straight, yet utterly unbothered by the awe swirling around Waylon’s pill. While guests gasped and praised the rarity of a second-level alchemist’s work, Raymond’s eyes drifted lazily toward the pill inside the jade box. With just one glance, that was all he needed. From the texture, the glow, and the faint medicinal scent in the air, he immediately saw through it—it was indeed made by a second-level alchemist, but the refining process lacked purity. The spiritual energy was unstable, the balance flawed. It would barely extend a life by two or three years at best, and if taken carelessly, might even cause internal disruption to someone with delicate meridians. It was flashy, but hollow, Raymond showed no admiration. No awe. Not even a raised brow. He simply stood in silence, hands behind his back. And that silence… was noticed. Waylon, still basking in the praise, caught the lack of expression fro

Upon noticing the shift in the room Several guests turned at once. “Isn’t that Young Master Waylon from the Lancaster family?” “He looks... unusually proud today.” “What’s he planning?” However Waylon didn’t disappoint, and seeing all eyes on him, made his shoulder raise even more. This was what he wanted in the first place, attention, full attention, and he was getting it. With his head and shoulders raised even higher like a peacock He marched straight toward the stage where Malisa’s grandfather stood and, with a theatrical bow, extended a jade box in both hands, his voice intentionally loud enough for everyone to hear. “This year, I’ve prepared a very special gift for the chairman,” Waylon declared, full of flourish. “A gift I know no one in this room would even come close to beating.” At that moment he allowed his words to hit everyone before he continued. “A pill personally crafted by a second-level alchemist.” Upon hearing what Waylon just said Gasps er

The grand banquet hall buzzed with quiet conversations and elegant laughter as Raymond followed Malisa further inside. The soft hum of string instruments drifted from a raised platform near the stage, and the scent of fine cuisine lingered in the air. Then came a sudden voice, full of excitement. “Brother Raymond!” Immediately a man rushed over in a finely tailored navy-blue suit—young, well-groomed, and practically glowing with energy. It was Malisa’s cousin, the one Raymond had told what he needed to do to treat his fertility problems. “Brother Raymond, you’re amazing!” he blurted out, his eyes shining. “That prescription you gave me—it worked! I mean, it really worked!” He leaned in a little closer and lowered his voice conspiratorially. “Not only did it fix the problem, but I feel stronger than I ever did before. Like… really powerful,” he added, raising his brows as if trying not to say too much in front of his female relatives. Hearing what he just said Raymond blinked on

The banquet venue was grand—luxurious without being told one could tell how much was put into it, decorated with understated gold and ivory, adorned with fresh lilies and warm ambient lighting. Outside the entrance, rows of high-end cars lined the driveway, while suited guards and black-tie guests moved about in quiet elegance.This wasn’t just a birthday banquet.It was a gathering of power, elite in the city.The guest list was a tapestry of the city's upper echelon: medical elites, representatives of major families, investment magnates, and several senior members of the Medical Association. All had come to celebrate the birthday of Chairman Nathaniel, the president of the city’s medical association—Malisa’s grandfather.Whispers passed between clusters of guests as the hall bustled.“Did you see the Westbrook delegation just arrived? And that’s Dr. Herman from the National Research Council…”Everyone knew the banquet was more than just a birthday—it was a display of power and conn

Waylon’s hatred for Raymond deepened like a wound left to rot.As he paced the floor of his private study, his eyes bloodshot, fists clenched at his sides, he couldn’t suppress the fury building inside him.‘Raymond’He couldn't believe that damn man had appeared at just the right time to ruin everything. Again.“First, he’d taken the spotlight in healing Malisa's grandfather, Then, he had miraculously stopped Malisa from talking to him before. Now… now, he’d interfered with a plan that I had spent days carefully crafting—a plan meant to make Malisa mine, whether she wanted it or not.”Immediately Waylon slammed his fist into the oak table, cracking the polished surface.“Raymond…” he growled through gritted teeth. “I don’t care who you are, or what you can do—sooner or later, I’ll find a way to eliminate you.”But even in his seething rage, Waylon wasn’t done with Malisa.His obsession in using her to get her family wealth ran too deep.“I’ll still marry her, and get what I want no

Then Raymond pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped the remaining sweat from her forehead.“I suspect the same person responsible for poisoning your grandfather… also drugged you tonight.”Malisa looked at him, her expression tightening with focus.Raymond continued, his tone clipped but clear, like he was putting pieces together out loud.“The symptoms you displayed—the rapid pulse, flushed skin, mental disorientation—were almost identical to what I observed in your grandfather, only more concentrated and faster-acting. His poisoning was slow and hidden over time, meant to weaken him gradually. Yours was abrupt, meant to take effect within minutes. But the toxin base was the same. The way it attacked the internal balance… the method of disruption... it all followed the same structure.”He narrowed his eyes slightly.“Whoever created the original poison likely just modified it. This wasn’t random—it was personal. And well-prepared.”Upon hearing what Raymond just said Malisa’s eye

After leaving the store, Raymond and Malisa entered the car. The doors closed with a soft click, shutting out the outside world, and the convoy of luxury vehicles rolled into motion.At that moment the cabin was quiet—only the soft hum of the engine and the faint breath of air-conditioning. Malisa sat beside Raymond, composed as ever… At first, but not long after, her breathing began to shift.It started as a slight twitch in her fingers—then her shoulders shifted, and her back subtly arched.Then she started fanning herself gently with her hand, even though the air inside the car was cool.Raymond turned to her.“You alright?” he asked, his tone low.However Malisa didn’t answer. Her lips were slightly parted now, her breaths shallow.At that moment a light sheen of sweat glistened at the base of her neck. Her chest rose and fell rapidly beneath her fitted silk blouse.Then she turned her face toward him, and Raymond immediately noticed—her eyes had gone hazy, unfocused, as if her bo
Chapter 66
Outside Celestium Vault, the arrival of over a dozen luxury vehicles had drawn a growing crowd of onlookers. Curious pedestrians paused, phones raised, recording the fleet of black cars lined up in perfect formation. The black-suited bodyguards, the commanding woman who entered with an air of untouchable authority, and finally, the mysterious man who emerged shortly after, casually stepping into one of the lead vehicles under the respectful escort of the guards—it was the kind of scene usually reserved for royalty or billionaires.One onlooker captured the entire moment, zooming in as Raymond entered the car. Though his face wasn’t visible, the way he carried himself—calm, powerful, indifferent to all the attention—was unforgettable.The video went viral within hours of posting it.“Who is this man?”“Look at those cars! That’s not money—that’s status.”“He’s definitely someone from the upper circle... maybe even more.”“Does anyone recognize him? He doesn’t look like any of the known
