Yen had kept Grey alive and had locked him up in one of the rooms in Yen's main apartment.Provided with food and water before leaving and after returning, Grey had nothing else to do and so, he was asleep most of the time.Yen had no plans to kill him and only sought answers from Grey. Although he had a hand in Yen's precious death, he wasn't directly involved and so Yen had deemed him not worthy of the death penalty."You should be left alive at least until I've gotten all my answers from you. For now, focus on staying alive." Those were Yen's words before he left that morning.It had been two days since the battle and they'd already disposed of Bhulk's corpse. They'd been in so much of a hurry that after cleaning every evidence tying them to his death, Yen and the others had tossed his corpse into a river they'd encountered on their way back.They all knew it would take a few days for them to find Bhulk's body and so, before that, they'd announced the death of Dr. Gil to exclude Ye
Cang had just finished his talk with his father-in-law and family head of the Wuhan family and so, he decided to have a short tour around the central building out of habit before he'd return to the embrace of his captivating wife.As he walked through the different paths in the building, he sighted a lady a few meters from him going through one of the forked paths.Her figure was even more graceful compared to his wife and he didn't need to behold her facial features to know she easily surpassed Qing Wuhan in terms of beauty.Just looking at her from behind was enough to steal his heart which already belonged to Qing.As she took the turn, he had a brief second to see her face though partly—jade-like skin without blemishes, a beautifully shaped nose and lips he could already tell were softer than his wife's—and he felt like he'd fallen through a trance. 'What the hell?'He hastened his steps as he planned to get a better view of her but by the time he arrived at the forked path, he wa
After indulging in a lengthy slumber, Yen awoke to find imprints etched onto his face from prolonged contact with the crumpled bed sheet he had been too lethargic to rearrange before drifting off to sleep.Reinvigorated by the rest, Yen emerged from his room, his curiosity about the time momentarily disregarded. As he stepped outside his abode, the sight that greeted him was captivating.The heavens above were gradually dimming, signaling the imminent approach of nightfall. A realization dawned upon Yen, prompting him to ponder the current hour. Instead of consulting a timepiece, Yen directed his query to his personal system.{The hour is past nine.}Perplexity gripped Yen. "Wait, what? I was supposed to be asleep by nine!"{You were indeed in slumber by precisely nine. Would that not qualify?} The retort from Stem was laced with a hint of sarcasm.A sigh escaped Yen's lips, his footsteps retracing his path back into the building. {Is that all you've got?} Stem's voice was rife with i
Emerging from his abode and securely locking the door in his wake, Yen embarked on a departure from the edifice he had procured and christened as his dwelling.A span of over a week had witnessed his residence being more than just a mere acquisition; though he didn't constantly inhabit its interiors, the nights he had spent within its confines exceeded the instances he had chosen to rest elsewhere since becoming the proprietor.Stepping away from the structure and achieving a certain distance, Yen pivoted, casting a lingering gaze upon his abode. The tableau before him was an exquisite composition—a symphony of flowers flourishing on either flank of the two-story domicile, a walkway meticulously paved with crimson bricks extending from the entrance, meandering to the parking area, and finally culminating at the gateway. Amid this picturesque setting, the resonant voice of Stem resounded within his thoughts.{This vista is truly captivating, a commendable achievement on your part,} Ste
The funeral concluded on a solemn note, and Yen embarked on his journey homeward, the remnants of his earlier frustration lingering despite the events of the day.Upon reaching his apartment, he effortlessly accessed the gated entrance using the remote control ever-present in his possession."A convenient feature," he mused, a fractional easing of his vexation.Navigating the car within the compound, he watched the gate seal behind him, his vehicle now occupying the spot designated for his previous one.Gazing at the sleek contours of his new car, a burgeoning sense of elation pervaded him, steadily washing away his lingering annoyance.Then, Stem's voice interjected. {Don't forget about the requisite car documentation. Dodging today's situation might have worked, but unless you act now, you'll perpetually procrastinate.}"I'll tackle that later. I'm too drained to head out again."Ding!The sound, once heard a few days prior, resounded anew.[A New Mission has materialized.Mission:
The pill production area buzzed with controlled chaos, illuminated by the dim glow of overhead lights. Rows of cauldrons lined the room, each one poised to orchestrate a symphony of chemical transformations. The rhythmic hum of machinery and the scent of potent ingredients intermingled in the air.Yen's fingers deftly navigated the control panel, his motions precise and efficient. A flick of the switch initiated a surge of electricity that coursed through the veins of the cauldrons, rousing them to life.With the power activated, Yen's synchronization with Stem commenced. Their mental harmony facilitated the seamless progression of tasks. Equipped with a meticulously prepared concoction, Yen's swift movements resonated with purpose.Fluidly, he poured the amalgamated mixture into the diminutive cauldrons, resembling kettle-like vessels. Despite their narrow openings, these cauldrons blossomed wider at the base, their stout stature accentuated by vertical handles that flanked opposing
The thirteenth day of the pill production mission finally dawned, a culmination of days filled with focused dedication and relentless effort.Five days had elapsed since production resumed, and the team had been quick to embrace the methodology Stem had recently devised. This innovative approach not only expedited the process of pill creation but also significantly truncated the time required for this endeavor. The effect was remarkable—an exponential surge in the daily pill production count.In the not-so-distant past, their daily output averaged around two thousand pills. However, under the influence of the new technique, their daily tally now reached almost four thousand pills, a feat that underscored the newfound efficiency in their operations. This surge had propelled their cumulative pill production to an impressive 29,600, a number that was still on the rise within the confines of the bustling production unit.Within the office space allocated to Yen, Rotlitch ventured in, his
The meeting room was saturated with tension, an atmosphere thickened by the gravity of the ongoing negotiations. As the discussions progressed, all four participants found themselves embroiled in a silent battle of intellect and strategy, the ebb and flow of their words mirroring the ebb and flow of a high-stakes chess match.Yen, having deftly navigated through the complex terrain of explanations and value propositions, had meticulously unveiled the facets and significance of every available pill. He went above and beyond, providing each attendee with a compact booklet, a trove of information encapsulated within its pages.The booklet contained a precise breakdown of the pills' uses, quantities, pricing, and instructions for consumption, all neatly summarized for their convenience. This unspoken gesture spoke volumes of Yen's dedication to transparency and professionalism.The issue at hand had its roots in the innocuous-looking booklet Yen had handed out. Within its pages lay the se
The smile on Yen's face lingered as he gazed at the impressive pile of cash before him. The tangible reality of the wealth he had accumulated in just a week was undeniable. The amount could have been even greater if there were more pills available for sale.Yen's grin widened as he assessed the significant profit, even after accounting for the cost of the pills. He turned to Grey, recognizing the crucial role he played in the operation."You deserve a reward for this." Yen patted Grey's shoulder thoughtfully. "How about a few dozen pills to boost your cultivation? I can see you're progressing greatly, so they'll help you advance even further." Yen offered, a satisfied smile on his face.Grey, eager to ascend in stature, nodded almost reflexively. Among cultivators, the truth held firm: the higher you climbed, the greater your standing. Elevated levels brought not just power but also a surge in reputation. Respect flowed effortlessly towards those who soared above the rest.Consider a

A week drifted by since Yen's dealings with Wingyu. The once tumultuous situation appeared to have settled, with neither side dwelling on the events that had transpired.Wingyu redirected his attention towards restoring his family's former glory. Publicly known for losing a substantial part of their wealth due to a threatening ailment, the family's narrative shifted to a tale of resilience, thanks to the timely intervention of the Yuan Pharmaceutical Company. The focus now lay on rebuilding, leaving the shadow of their recent troubles behind in the rearview mirror.Given that Cang and Qing were married, the public took the Wangu family's downturn in stride, somewhat expecting a ripple effect though less severe than the Wuhan family's setbacks.Once again, the Yuan Pharmaceutical Company played the savior, elevating its public image to formidable heights. Already esteemed as one of the city's top medicine producers, the incident catapulted the company into an almost legendary status. T
