Joel slumped to the floor.

Celestial had canceled the partnership with Megatron.

How was this possible?

Did Thea call the actual chairman of Celestial Group?

Looking at Joel, James knew that Celestial had canceled their agreement with Megatron.

In the director’s office at Megatron Group.

Mark Xavier was busy yelling at Joel. Celestial had told him that this had come straight from the chairman. Joel had offended someone extremely important.

“Sir, Celestial said that the quality of our medicine is compromised. They’re suing us for three billion dollars!”

“Sir, the bank demands we pay off our loan right now!”

“Sir, one of our factories has been shut down by relevant authorities over a possible quality breach!”

“Sir, our shareholders are selling off their shares. Our share price is falling. We’ve lost millions of dollars!”

“Sir, Megatron has gone bankrupt! All our businesses are affected. Many of them have been shut down and are being investigated…”

Mark, still scolding his son

    "Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge..." James muttered to himself.That painting was his family's most important heirloom.Before his grandfather died, he told James that their family could be wiped out, but that painting was the one thing they could not lose.It remained in James's mind, even after ten years. "Get ready. We act tonight.""Understood." Henry nodded."Alright, you should leave. My wife's about to get off work. She doesn't want me to be around knaves and hooligans, and it's obvious from your appearance alone that you're not a good guy. If my wife saw you, I'd be in for another lecture."Henry's expression fell.He was just slightly darker-skinned. Why does that make him a hooligan? Why would that make him a bad guy?"Don't just stand there, get lost." James sent a kick his way.Henry turned and left.James glanced at the time. Thea's work had ended. She would be coming out any moment.He pushed his electric motorcycle along and made his way to the Callahans

    James pouted helplessly. “Get me the dress from my closet,” Thea said, ignoring him. “There’s an important banquet tonight.”James stood and walked toward the closet. “Which one, dearest?” he asked, opening the closet door.“The white one, with the V-neck.”“That won’t do. You can’t expose yourself in public like that. This one looks good.” James grabbed a black, high-neck dress and handed it to Thea. “Oh, right. What’s the banquet for?”“Rowena Xavier- of the Xaviers- is hosting an auction banquet. There’ll be lots of great items there, so almost everyone that is attending will be famous in one way or another. I’m going to expand my network while I’m there.”James paused when he heard that, but recovered immediately. “Need me to give you a ride?” he asked.“I’ll take the cab.”“Oh, okay then.”Thea left after changing into her dress.James left soon after, giving her family a random excuse as he did.In the Xaviers’ villa.The Xaviers had one remaining villa left.

    Outside the Callahans’ villa, dozens of jeeps screeched to a halt as the soldiers that had ridden them here charged onto the Callahans’ home.Panic erupted in the Callahan household. Lex, who had gone to bed, got up again and approached the soldiers in his pajamas. “What’s happened, sir?” he asked the leader frantically, his face pale.“Take them.”With the order issued, two soldiers grabbed Lex by his forearms and dragged him away. The others, still groggy from sleep, were also forcibly pulled into the jeeps.Meanwhile, a loud bang erupted from Thea’s home. Benjamin and Gladys were awoken suddenly as soldiers filed in and dragged them away.In Cansington Hotel’s top floor in a secret room, Thea sat tied up on the ground. Soon enough, her grandfather, Lex Callahan; her father, Benjamin Callahan; her uncle, Howard Callahan; her second uncle, John Callahan, and everyone else had been brought in. No one had been left out. All of them had been tied up, too. They looked at each o

    The two cuts were a stark contrast to her otherwise fair skin. Blood kept flowing from the wounds, dyeing her neck red.Her vision turned misty as crystalline tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, falling and mixing with her blood.She had fallen into despair. Faced with General Trent Xavier, all her helplessness and hopelessness piled up.More than anything, hate swelled up within her.She hated that she ran into that fire because she heard someone calling out for help!She may have saved one person, but the injury that had been inflicted upon her cost her ten years of torment! Ten years of pain!She became the laughingstock of the entire school when she got those burns.Even the friends she was once close with wanted nothing to do with her!Her classmates treated her like she had the plague and avoided her as much as they could!Her family started hating her. Even her own parents treated her like she was worthless!When her scars were finally healed, she had thought

    “It was me!”It was just three words, yet it resounded through the hall like crackling thunder and rang in the attendees’ ears, shaking all thoughts from their minds.Even Trent, still on stage, was stunned. He was a battle-hardened deputy commander of the Western Border. He had fought hundreds of battles alongside the Blithe King himself, yet James’s roar froze him completely, rendering him unable to react for an instant.When he was finally able to move, he spotted a man walking into the hall.The person donned a black ghost mask, and a chill emanated from his body.This chill penetrated the entire hall, lowering the temperature by a few degrees.“That’s him?”“That’s the person in the ghost mask that killed Warren Xavier!”The celebrities finally reacted, their faces growing pale in shock and terror as James walked past them. They remembered the gruesome image that had happened only half a month ago, when William Xavier’s arm was yanked off, and Warren Xavier was decapit

    Cansington was the capital of medicine, contributing to 80% of the world’s medicine.Here, there were pharmaceutical companies worth billions, as well as thousands of medicinal processing factories whether big or small.Pharmacies were everywhere, whether on big roads or tucked away in small alleys.Nine Dragons Street was a messy, complicated street in the heart of Cansington where crooks gathered. There were antique stores, bars, pubs, and massage parlors…At one end of the street stood a clinic.Common Clinic.Henry had found asylum here.As James was a doctor, Henry had picked up a few things from him over the years. He was adept at treating the flu, colds, and minor injuries.On the mini operating table at Common Clinic.James looked at Thea, whose face was bleeding. Her knees were scraped and her flesh was embedded with bits of debris.She had been gravely tortured.As she lost a lot of blood and was exhausted, she fainted.James had a scary, blank look.Cradling The

    The sun rose, shining brightly on the world. The citizens woke up, got ready, and started a brand new day.In the morning, the chairman’s office, the Celestial building.“Mister Yates, something major went down last night.” A beautiful, sexy woman stood next to Alex, recounting what happened at the Xaviers’ auction yesterday.“Trent Xavier kidnapped Thea and her family?” Alex was stunned when he heard this. He followed up with, “Did Trent die in the end?”“Yes, sir. According to news sources, Trent was going to take the Callahans out before coming after Celestial. Before he could do anything to Thea Callahan, a man in a ghost mask appeared. He’s Warren Xavier’s murderer, and he killed Trent too.”Alex waved a hand. “That’s enough.”His secretary left. Alex smiled grimly, mumbling to himself, “Laying a finger on Thea is like courting death. What good is a deputy commander of the Western border? Even the Blithe King of the West has to yield to the Black Dragon.”Alex had never car

    James did not want to prolong the conversation any further. He said, “Send me some money. I’m getting breakfast for Thea.”Henry said, “I’ll Vinmo it to you.”James left the clinic, buying some chicken noodle soup from a street vendor for Thea.When he returned, Thea was awake.Her face was bandaged in gauze. She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling listlessly.James went to her and put her breakfast down. Softly, he called, “Darling.”Thea did not respond.James took her hand in his. “It’s over now. It’s all over now.”Thea turned to him slightly, sobbing softly. Her body trembled, a panicked expression on her face. “I-I’ve offended Trent Xavier. I’m a dead woman now. Go, leave me. I don’t want to get you into trouble.”James soothed her. “It’s alright. I saw the news this morning. Trent’s dead, and your family is okay.”“What? He’s dead?” Thea was shocked, looking at James in disbelief.Trent Xavier was a general. How could he be dead just like that?James said, “News r

    The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res

    “No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has

    At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn

    That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo

    Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z

    "Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,

    Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare

    "That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr

    James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
