Jessica’s gaze shifted to the room below, eyes flicking from one group of important figures to another. “He’s not even looking at them… but the real play here isn’t the herbs. It’s the people. You saw the five board members of the top medicine companies. And of course, there’s President Inker. He’s the one we need to impress.”

Charlotte’s smirk didn’t fade. “Exactly. Those five board members hold the future of medicine in Texas City. Inker knows it. If I play my cards right, I’ll have them eating out of the palm of my hand. Jack can sit in his corner and brood. He won’t even notice.”

Jessica raised an eyebrow. “And what about the other company owners? Don’t you think they’ll be… upset when you buy everything?”

Charlotte laughed softly, almost mockingly. “Upset? They’ll be lucky if I let them even have a seat at the table when I’m done. They won’t challenge me. Not with my influence.”

Jessica nodded but still seemed uncertain. “You think Jack will just sit back and watch while you wrec

    Jessica leaned against the bar, still amused. “Seems like a pretty good show. He’s holding a lot of the cards tonight.”Frank’s eyes narrowed, irritation clear. “I’ve built an empire on traditional medicine, Jessica. He’s just a glorified plant hunter.”Meanwhile, Garrett wasn’t paying attention to Rolex’s complaints. He was more focused on the variety of herbs being displayed before him—his fingers tracing over them with an almost reverent touch. It was obvious that the Evergreen region’s rich plant life gave him an upper hand. And he knew it.At that moment, Dr. Jason Steel entered the room, his presence commanding immediate attention. His expression was grim, but his eyes gleamed with a clear, almost dangerous intent. His reputation as a renowned conventional medicine practitioner had been under siege since Frank Rolex’s innovative treatments started gaining popularity. And now? It looked like he was here to strike back.Dr. Steel walked up to Garrett, a smile playing on his lips b

    The Grand Imperial Hotel’s underground event hall had grown more tense by the second.The air was thick with the promise of deals, whispers of big names, and unspoken rivalries.Frank Rolex’s apprentice, Tommy, was at the front, confidently presenting the coveted "Essence of Life Formula"—a premium herbal blend known to rejuvenate and boost vitality.The crowd leaned forward, eyes glued to Tommy’s every word as he described the vitality-enhancing properties of the formula, boasting its $50,000 price tag.“Ladies and gentlemen, this formula is proven to extend life expectancy by improving cellular regeneration. It’s no wonder it’s been sold out in every major market!” Tommy finished, beaming with pride.A round of applause followed, and Tommy grinned, confident that the bidding would soon begin.But before he could even begin to introduce the opening price, a cold voice sliced through the room.“I beg your pardon.”The crowd went silent.Garrett, wearing his usual outfit of animal skin

    The bidding for Garrett’s Evergreen Formula ended with a final bid of $100,000 per bottle, leaving Frank Rolex’s formula a distant memory.As Garrett smugly took the stage to shake hands with the auctioneer, he looked at Frank. “Better luck next time, Frank. You should’ve stuck to your three ingredients.”The bidding war for Garrett’s Evergreen Formula surged, the numbers flying past astronomical levels. Jack leaned back, eyes narrowed, as the bid hit $50 million.“A ridiculous price,” Jack muttered under his breath.Ashley, standing beside him, frowned. “Something feels wrong about this. How can one formula be worth so much? It’s just a bunch of herbs in a bottle.”Jack glanced at her, then nodded. “Exactly. It’s not even that powerful. Not by a long shot.”Before Ashley could reply, a loud voice rang out from across the room.“Garrett’s formula is the future of medicine!” The crowd erupted into applause as Garrett, smug with triumph, waved to the audience.Jack’s lip curled into a s

    Jasper Steel, who had been listening from a few feet away, seethed at the comment. His face twisted with rage, and he turned sharply toward Jack. “Who the hell do you think you are?” Jasper spat, his voice dripping with venom.Jack raised an eyebrow, unfazed. “What? Can’t handle a little truth?”Jasper’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “You think you can come in here, make a mockery of everything, and not face any consequences?” He stepped closer, his voice low and menacing. “You’re nothing but a joke, Jack. You’re an arrogant nobody who’s too proud for his own good. You have no place in this world, no matter how hard you try to climb.”A few of the VIPs near them glanced over, sensing the tension in the air.Jack tilted his head, unfazed by the insults. “You want to test that theory, Steel?” His voice was dripping with disdain. “I’m not afraid of you.”Jasper’s nostrils flared. “You should be. If you have any sense of self-preservation, you’ll walk out of here and never show your face aga

    Jasper’s eyes were now practically spitting fire, but before he could respond, the atmosphere shifted. A large, imposing figure appeared behind Jack. Big Tom, his broad shoulders blocking the light, stood with a scowl etched deep into his face.“Enough, Steel,” Big Tom growled, his voice low and dangerous. “You’ve got the nerve to disrespect Mr. Sullivan in my presence?” He turned to Jack, offering a brief nod of respect before slapping Jasper across the face with a force that made the room go silent.Jasper recoiled in shock, his hand flying to his cheek as he stumbled back, eyes wide with disbelief. His jaw dropped as he realized what had just happened—Big Tom, the enforcer known for his brutal strength, had just slapped him like a child. But that wasn’t the most shocking part.“Wait… Mr. Sullivan?” Jasper muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. His brain scrambled to connect the dots. His gaze flicked from Big Tom to Jack, his eyes widening with realization. “You... you’re the

    Garrett’s face twisted with fury as Jack’s words hung in the air. The auction hall, which had been buzzing with excitement just moments before, now fell into a tense silence. Garrett’s eyes locked onto Jack with a mixture of anger and disbelief.“What the hell do you mean, inferior?” Garrett’s voice was a harsh bark, as though he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “You’ve got the nerve to stand here and discredit my work? The Evergreen Formula is a masterpiece. It’s taken me years to perfect it, and now you come in here, throwing around accusations?”Jack didn’t flinch. His gaze was steady, almost bored as he met Garrett’s fiery stare. “It’s not a masterpiece, Garrett. It’s a scam. You’ve got over 40 ingredients crammed into a pill, but you’ve done nothing to refine them properly. It’s all just herbs pressed together with no thought to the balance or the technique required. You’re fooling the crowd, and you know it.”A murmur spread across the crowd, some curious, others skeptical,

    As the final seconds of the ten-minute countdown ticked away, the room was filled with a heavy silence, broken only by the faint hum of nervous whispers. Frank Rolex, focused and precise, carefully placed the Evergreen Formula onto a small stand, his hands steady as he completed the refinement process. The crowd watched in rapt attention, eager to see the results.Finally, Frank stepped back, and the moment of truth arrived.The formula shimmered slightly, glowing faintly with a soft, ethereal luminescence. A powerful, intoxicating aroma filled the air, rich with the scent of expertly refined herbs. Gasps spread throughout the auction hall. Even the most skeptical onlookers couldn’t deny the transformation. The Evergreen Formula, which had once been a simple concoction of herbs, now seemed like something far more potent.One of the experts, an elder in the field of medicinal refinement, stepped forward, inhaling deeply as he examined the formula. His eyes widened in astonishment. “Thi

    The atmosphere in the auction hall had shifted entirely by the second round of bidding. Frank Rolex’s formula, now enhanced with Jack’s morning dew, was up against Garrett’s latest creation: the "Highland Vitality Elixir." Garrett, still reeling from the previous round’s defeat, stood in the back, trying to hide his growing anxiety.Jack, ever the opportunist, couldn't resist taking another jab at Garrett. He leaned toward the auctioneer, loud enough for everyone to hear, and shook his head with a mocking grin.“Let me get this straight,” Jack said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “You raise livestock, feed it some herbs, collect its blood, and call that refinement? That’s not medicine; that’s animal husbandry.” He paused for effect, looking over at Garrett with a smirk. “Maybe you should add a new title to your resume: ‘Veterinarian of the Year.’”The crowd couldn’t contain their laughter, and Garrett’s face turned an alarming shade of red. The insult was too much, too public for hi

    The late afternoon sun cast golden streaks across the marble floor of Jack Sullivan’s villa. The air was peaceful, laced with the faint aroma of aged Bordeaux wine, and the still ripple of the pool reflected serenity.David Sun leaned back on a lounger, wine glass in hand. “Jack, I’m telling you, you need to let me design a wine cellar here. This place deserves it.”Jack smirked slightly. “You just want to make sure I drink your overpriced imports.”Before David could respond, a click echoed from inside the house.Then another.Jack’s eyes narrowed slightly. The sound wasn’t from the front gate.“Did you invite someone else?” David asked, sitting upright.“No,” Jack replied, already rising from his chair. His bare feet padded quietly across the polished stone as he approached the sliding glass door.A shadow crossed the interior hallway.Then, without warning, a man casually stepped into the courtyard.He was young—late twenties maybe—with slicked-back hair, a smirk that screamed enti

    Inside the Shaw family estate, the atmosphere was quieter than usual.Charlotte Shaw sat stiffly on the antique leather chair, fingers laced tightly in her lap. Across from her, Richard Shaw poured himself a cup of tea, moving with deliberate grace.“You’ll apologize,” he said calmly.Charlotte’s brows furrowed. “I already said I regret what happened.”Richard looked at her over the rim of his cup. “Regret is not apology.”“I just…” she hesitated, then admitted, “I don’t want you to be the one to do it.”He set the cup down with a soft clink. “Then you shouldn’t have needed me to.”The silence between them was heavy, but not cruel.“I will personally represent the Shaw family at the Harvest Festival in Eastridge City,” he continued. “Our presence is expected. Our humility is required.”Charlotte looked away. Her pride bruised, her voice small.“I never thought it would come to this.”Richard leaned back. “That’s because you never thought he was more than a shadow. Now you know better.

    “He’s the eldest son of the Eastern Sullivan family.”She blinked. “The who?”Richard closed the file slowly. “The Sullivan family. East-coast monarchs of power, both legitimate and underground. Their name is whispered in federal halls and boardrooms alike.”Charlotte scoffed. “The Eastern Sullivans? I’ve heard of them, but they don’t compare to the state capital families. They’re not even on the same ladder.”Richard’s jaw tightened. “That’s where you’re wrong. You think we’re playing a local game? Jack Sullivan is walking across a global board.”Charlotte frowned, but her grandfather continued, his tone deepening.“His third uncle, Nathan Sullivan, is the one who built the underground empire in Carson City—an empire that even federal agents avoid confronting directly. Do you know who handles most of the private security logistics in five states? The Sullivan family.”She swallowed, unease creeping in.“And his mother,” Richard added, “is Margaret Williamson.”Charlotte blinked. “Tha

    Inside the deepest chamber of the Nine Scorpion Cave, the air pulsed with heat and pressure. A faint green glow radiated from Jack Sullivan’s body as he sat cross-legged, bare-chested, surrounded by the crushed remains of venomous scorpion cores. His breathing was slow, deliberate, and deep.For the last three days, Jack hadn’t moved. Not even once.The Scorpion Essence, distilled from the Emperor Scorpion’s body and the most potent venom sacs, now coursed through his veins. It burned, reshaped, and empowered.His skin glistened with sweat, but under it, something more terrifying was forming.Scorpion strength…His fingers twitched, now strong enough to crack steel with a flick. His back was lined with corded muscle, but it wasn’t brute strength alone—it was a precision power, venomous and fast.If I’d had this power during the Robert fight, Jack thought, I could’ve shattered his defenses in one strike. He wouldn’t have walked away.His chest rose slowly.This changes everything.Outs

    On a remote island far from the chaos of cities and scorpion-infested caves, an old man bent low over a patch of rocky soil. With slow, deliberate motions, he pulled up weeds that didn’t belong. His tattered shirt clung to his wiry frame, but a small swallow emblem stitched on the chest shimmered faintly in the sun.Victor Yates—once feared across nations, now a humble farmer. Or so it appeared.A young man approached, hesitating as he stepped over the jagged path of coral and dirt.“Master Yates.”Victor didn’t look up. “You found more wild yam?”The young man’s throat tightened. “No, Master… it’s about James Leonard.”Victor’s hand paused mid-pull.“Well?” he said, not turning.“He’s… dead.”The silence that followed was heavier than the sea breeze.Victor continued weeding without a word. The soil trembled subtly under his fingers—a sign of internal energy shifting beneath the surface.“Who?” he finally asked.“Jack Sullivan.”Victor exhaled slowly. “That name again.”“He also kill

    James Leonard’s eyes narrowed, his body tense like a coiled spring.“You’ve made it this far, Sullivan,” he muttered, “but you won’t leave this mountain alive.”Jack rolled his shoulders, voice calm as ever. “Big words from a man who just fed his own ally to a scorpion.”With a roar, James lunged, his fists blurring with speed. The first punch hit Jack square in the chest—followed by three more in rapid succession.THUD. THUD. THUD.Jack didn’t even flinch.James froze mid-strike. “What…?”Jack looked down at his chest, brushed some dust from his coat. “You done?”James stepped back in disbelief. Those hits could crush concrete… but he didn’t even stagger.Is he human?Jack smirked. “Iron Body Technique. Guess your master didn’t teach you that.”James growled and went in again, this time throwing everything—knees, elbows, fists, spinning kicks. The ground cracked beneath him, and shockwaves rippled out.Still, Jack barely moved.Then came Jack’s turn.He stepped in, faster than lightn

    “I’m not here for The Ghost,” James Leonard said coldly. “Frankly, I didn’t like him much. Arrogant, sloppy… too obsessed with making a name.”Jack raised an eyebrow. “Then why come for me?”James cracked his neck. “Because he was still my master’s student. Victor Yates trained him. His death reflects on the Yates lineage.”He took another step closer, killing intent radiating off him like heat.“I’m not here to mourn a brother. I’m here to defend my master’s honor. And that means killing you, Jack Sullivan.”Ron Taylor’s throat bobbed. He really means to fight Jack… this is bad.Behind them, the Emperor Scorpion loomed, its stinger dripping, poised over Uncle Frank, who was barely holding on.“J-James…” Frank rasped, coughing blood. “Help… me…”James turned to him slowly, lips curling into something cruel.“You? Help you?” He chuckled, then raised his leg.Before anyone could react—BAM!James kicked Uncle Frank like trash, launching him straight toward the scorpion’s gaping pincers.

    A deep hiss echoed from the cave’s maw, darker and heavier than before.Then it appeared.An Emperor Scorpion.Jet-black, armored like obsidian, the monstrous creature scuttled out from the darkness. Its pincers were thick as tree trunks, and its tail arched high—dripping with venom that shimmered like green fire.Uncle Frank tried to rise.Too late.CRACK!The Emperor’s stinger struck him dead center in the chest."AAAAHHH!" Uncle Frank screamed—his first scream in decades.Charlotte’s face turned ghost-white. “Uncle Frank!”Blood spilled from his mouth as his body convulsed, thrown backward like a ragdoll. The entire battlefield froze—everyone had heard of the Emperor, but few had ever seen it. And no one expected that sound from a man like Frank.“Help… Master… James…” Uncle Frank rasped.That name rang like a thunderclap.From the group of supposed bodyguards, one man stepped forward.He was tall, sharp-eyed, and dressed plainly, blending in with the security team—until now.In a

    The air turned heavy.A low, grinding rumble echoed from deep inside Nine Scorpion Cave.BOOM.A sharp vibration ran through the ground. Pebbles trembled. The trees swayed unnaturally.Jack Sullivan turned his head slowly toward the cave entrance.“They’re awake,” he said simply.Nie Mitchell’s face drained of color. “T-That sound… I’ve heard it before.” He staggered back a step. “Oh no… the nest is disturbed. They’re coming!”Before anyone could react, Charlotte Shaw snapped her fingers.“Uncle Frank!” she barked. “Take the vanguard. Clear it before they spread!”Uncle Frank nodded. “Yes, Miss!”He gathered a dozen armored men and dashed forward, spear in hand, moving like a man half his age.Ashley stepped closer to Jack. “What’s inside that cave?”“Poison,” Jack said. “And stupidity.”She blinked. “What?”Jack exhaled. “You’ll see.”From the mouth of the cave came a horrifying sound—a clicking, hissing flood of chaos.And then they appeared.Over 300 venomous scorpions, each rangin
