Ming's eyes flickered open, greeted by the pleasant surprise of her now normal skin, the poison's cruel marks having vanished. A rush of exhilaration coursed through her, and she hastily left her room, driven by a newfound vitality.Unbeknownst to her, Dr. Trish and Dr. Stan had just arrived, their steps leading them towards the central building of the estate. Ming, unaware of which of the doctors were making their way to the central building, yearned for a chance to express her gratitude to Yen, who had orchestrated her unexpected recovery.The news of the doctors' arrival from Yuan Pharmaceuticals reached Qing, and a determined sense of hope surged through her, despite the undeniable pain that clung to her every step. Her skin, like Ming's had been, bore a troubling green hue, a visible testament to the poison's relentless grip.With a steely resolve, Qing made her way to the central building, each step laden with the weight of her suffering. The promise of the antidote, now tantaliz
Ming made her way from her room to her mother's, responding to the summons from Yeonwha. The message that her mother had something to discuss had piqued her curiosity.Given that both parties had already taken the antidote and were no longer poisoned, a meeting was not only possible but safe. Even if they had still been affected by the poison, the immunity provided by the antidote allowed for contact within a certain time frame. This understanding of their safety allowed for the meeting between mother and daughter.With both individuals having taken the antidote, there was no issue of contact or safety between them.Yet, the act of being summoned by her mother was indeed unusual for Ming. It was a rare occurrence for Yeonwha to reach out to her daughter with a request to meet. Typically, it was Ming who sought out her mother, visiting her room, and not the other way around. The unexpected nature of the summons added an air of intrigue to the upcoming meeting, as Ming ventured into the
Yen couldn't help but wear a broad grin as he contemplated the substantial sums he had acquired from the two prominent families in just two days. The total surpassed ten billion Khartos, even after factoring in the expenditure on the antidote for the poison he had unleashed.The financial windfall was a significant step toward fulfilling his objectives and pursuing his future plans.With the completion of the last treatment within the Wangu Family and a successful discussion with the family head, an additional two hundred million had been generously gifted to the company. Family Head Wangu was evidently impressed by the antidote's effectiveness, demonstrating his appreciation with this generous gesture.As Yen and Rotlitch prepared to leave the central building of the Wangu estate, a dark black jeep came to a stop before them. Behind the wheel were none other than Dr. Trish and Dr. Stan, who had just concluded their treatments within the Wuhan Family.Satisfied with the outcome of the
Wingyu's eyes narrowed as he maintained a steadfast gaze on Yen. The notion of giving Ming to him if he was tired of her lingered in his mind like an unsettling echo.His expression turned into a deep frown as he posed a question, his voice laced with defiance. "And what are you planning to do if I don't release her to you? She remains my daughter, and I can certainly do as I please with her, including keeping her confined."Yen remained unyielding in the face of Wingyu's challenge. He responded with a cold, unwavering tone, "As you said, she remains your daughter. So you're welcome to do whatever you want with her. This isn't the first time you've done something like this, after all."The room fell into an uncomfortable silence as Yen's last words hung in the air, leaving everyone present bewildered. The room's occupants exchanged glances, wondering if there were hidden secrets between Yen and Wingyu that had been concealed from them.Before anyone could utter a word, Yen pressed on,
«One Week Earlier»Yen found himself in his office, his work momentarily paused with no pills requiring his evaluation. Boredom had driven him to explore the various subsections within the market section of his system. Each category was carefully organized based on the nature and purpose of every item, material, and ingredient available in the market.Amidst his exploration, a particular subsection labeled "memory" captured his attention. This category had taken him by surprise, arousing his curiosity. He decided to delve deeper into the mysterious items contained within this subsection, eager to discover its hidden contents.Upon opening the "memory" subsection within the market section, Yen was met with an array of various pills, items, and materials, each bearing "memory" in their names. However, the most startling aspect of this subsection was the exorbitant price tags attached to almost every item. There were a few exceptions, but the majority of items in this category were prohi
"Well, death it is," and brandished a menacing dagger. The atmosphere grew even more intense in the room as the scene unfolded.Puck!The dagger pierced Yen's heart, causing immense pain. Despite his agony, Yen uttered a surprising phrase, "Thank you," expressing gratitude to the man who had just stabbed him.The burly figure, confirmed to be the notorious assassin Bhulk, didn't disclose his employers, but he implicitly acknowledged Yen's accusation against the Wuhan family by agreeing to carry out the assassination. The room remained gripped by the unfolding memory, revealing a dark and sinister plot.Wingyu's patience had run thin, unable to endure further revelations. He shouted angrily, "Enough!"The room was filled with tension as the memory replay seemed to halt at a crucial moment, leaving them all in suspense. Wingyu's outburst reflected his growing desperation to prevent further exposure of his involvement in Yen's alleged death.The room bore a heavy atmosphere as the past e
Qing's gaze remained fixed on her father, her expression one of disbelief. "Seriously?" she inquired, a frown creasing her forehead. "Now that he's back, you want to use me as a bargaining chip?" Her question was tinged with frustration.Wingyu shook his head and tried to explain, "You need to calm down, Qing. While it's true I mentioned offering you to him, you should realize that I had other intentions in mind."Qing's skepticism was evident as she squinted her eyes, attempting to fathom her father's motives. "How?" she questioned, her trust in him eroding after the abrupt offer he had made, seemingly willing to use her as a means to pacify Yen's anger and frustration."If you'd simply agreed and pleaded for him to take you back and he did agree, it would've been easier to kill him." Wingyu suggested, his voice dripping with cunning as he introduced an idea that had never crossed Qing's mind. Now, he was starting to orchestrate the entire scheme once more.Qing had been the catalyst
Yen's smile remained as he addressed the female receptionist, "Haha, indeed. I'd like an executive suite room, please."The receptionist inquired, "For how long?""I'll be booking for as long as possible. My lady here," Yen added with a gentle nudge towards Ming, his smile bright, "will be staying for a long while." His words and actions conveyed a sense of generosity and hospitality.The receptionist nodded with a sly smirk, clearly aware of Ming's preferences as she was a lady herself. "We'll add the bills to your tab," she said, deliberately avoiding mentioning the price in front of Ming, who might have been less than pleased with the cost.Yen, ever the gentleman, took the lead and smiled at Ming. "Lady Ming, let's head to your room." He led her to the elevator, maintaining an air of elegance and charm throughout.Minutes later, Yen returned to the receptionist with a satisfied smile on his face. As he approached her, he raised his fist toward her, and she reciprocated with a fist
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
