Zane and Jack approached the door to the room where Jack's wife was being treated, the air was thick with a mixture of hope and apprehension.

"Mr. Gardner, I don't want to burden you," Jack spoke softly, pausing at the door. "I only ask that you do your best for my wife, if you believe you can help her."

Zane nodded, his smile conveying understanding and resolve. "Of course, Mr. Watson."

Jack slowly opened the door, taking a deep breath. He had previously explained to his in-laws about inviting Zane to attempt treatment, but they had been skeptical.

They had heard rumors that Zane's previous success might have been more luck than skill.

Despite their doubts, Jack, having heard about Zane from Charles Scott, decided to trust his judgment.

The room was cloaked in a heavy silence, punctuated only by the steady beeps of the patient monitor.

Inside, they found Jack's wife's personal doctor and a trusted assistant who had been employed to care for her. Her parents were also present, thei

She watched Zane with a mix of curiosity and intrigue, murmuring to herself, "He seems like an interesting person. Who is he, really?"Jack approached Zane, standing tall with his hands clasped behind his back. “Mr. Gardner, I apologize for putting you in this difficult situation,” he said, regret in his voice but maintaining his dignified posture.“It’s okay, Mr. Watson. I chose this,” Zane replied calmly.Jack nodded and gently patted Zane's shoulder. “Then please, do your best.”After stepping back, Jack took a seat beside Lily, leaning towards her with a questioning look. “Lily, why did you suddenly insist on Zane treating your mother?

The guards who had followed Cedric hesitated at the doorway, unsure of their next move.If they continued to arrest Cedric, they were worried that it would cause a commotion that could disturb the condition of the PM's wife.“Sir, we tried to stop him, but he was too strong,” one of the guards reported regretfully, bowing his head in respect to the Prime Minister, who sat with a mixture of concern and authority on the plush sofa.“It's alright, let him be. You may leave now,” the Prime Minister instructed, his voice carrying a note of resigned acceptance of the unfolding events.Cedric leaned slightly towards Zane, speaking in a low, concerned voice. “Boss, are you okay?”Zane

    Jack showed appreciation for Zane’s contribution in treating his wife. The room fell into a surprised silence when Zane requested help in preserving an orphanage.The request was unexpected, vastly different from what they had anticipated. Jack tilted his head slightly, digesting Zane's words. "Mr. Gardner, are you asking me to help save an orphanage?" he asked for confirmation.Zane replied calmly, beginning to explain, "Yes, Mr. Watson. I have a friend who runs an orphanage in a small village on the outskirts of the city. It’s a haven for many underprivileged children – a home for them, their safest place."Zane paused briefly before continuing, "Now, their home is under threat due to a tourism development plan by the Harris Group."Zane didn't go into detail about the Harris Group. He considered them to be a private corporation run by the Harris family, renowned as one of the wealthiest in the nation. Additionally, from what Claire had shared, the Harris family was deeply entwined

    The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains of Zane's room, bathing it in a warm glow. Downstairs in the dining area, Cecilia, Cedric, and Alfred were already gathered at the breakfast table, ready to enjoy the meal Cecilia had prepared."It's unusual for Boss Zane to stay in his room this late," Cecilia remarked, a hint of concern in her voice. "Could he still be asleep? Or perhaps he's not feeling well?"Alfred nodded in agreement with Cecilia's observation and turned to Cedric. "Cedric, do you have any idea why he's this way today?""Yes, Cedric, please share what happened to the boss yesterday," Cecilia pressed, eager to know more."I'm not entirely sure," Cedric began, "but I think it's because yesterday Boss expended a great deal of energy helping to cure the Prime Minister's wife, who was critically ill."Alfred chimed in, adding his thoughts, "That's a possibility. Even though Master's cultivation level has been increasing, he rarely uses his energy f

    In a spacious, elegantly furnished office, a plush, luxurious sofa sat invitingly. The room was anchored by a desk crafted from fine marble, paired with a sumptuously designed and comfortable office chair. Sitting behind this desk was a man in his sixties, with a stocky build and sharp, piercing eyes set beneath thick brows. His expression was intense, hands clenched tightly, one of them gripping a cellphone. In a sudden outburst, he slammed his fist onto the desk."Damn it!" he seethed, his voice trembling with rage. "Who dares to challenge me like this?!"He was Harris, the formidable leader of the Harris Group and a key figure in the country's most influential mafia network. Harris had just received a direct phone call from Prime Minister Jack Watson. Initially, Harris was pleased to hear from Jack, expecting perhaps a proposal for investment or partnership in a new tourism project in Harmony Valley. However, his mood quickly soured.

    Zane stood facing Morano at a close distance. Zane remained calm, while Morano wore a dismissive expression."So, are you sure you want to face me alone, young man? Hahaha."He continued, "I’m not even sure if your grandfather could, let alone you."Without warning, Zane darted forward, his body becoming a blur that was hard for the naked eye to follow. His teleportation allowed him to move at lightning speed, appearing beside Morano and delivering a powerful punch. "Today, I will tear down the empire you’ve built. In the name of my grandfather, I will destroy you."Morano managed to dodge the first attack, but Zane was already behind him in an instant, kicking him hard in the back. Morano staggered but quickly retaliated."Hahaha, young man, you’re truly naive. I will show you who I really am."Their duel grew more intense.

So, she wasn't shocked, but she hadn’t expected Zane to possess the same ability.Zane locked eyes with Morano and firmly said, "Don’t ever say that again. It’s disgusting."“Hahaha, Zane Gardner, I don’t know what John told you. But, yes, you two were pretty close. I was hurt—it felt like unrequited love, hahaha.”“Stop your nonsense.”“Wow, you’re braver than John, huh? He should’ve learned more from you, hahaha.”Zane remained where he stood. "I don't care about anything you're saying."“So, why are you here? Did your grandfather send you to surrender? Has he finally admit

Harris shouted, demanding the reporters stop taking pictures and recording. "Zane Gardner! This is all Zane Gardner's doing! You're idiots; you should be after him, not gathered here. We are the victims!" Maretti yelled. But their cries fell on deaf ears, as the journalists ignored them and broadcasted everything live on TV and the internet.
