"Mister Scott, we have a suitable, reasonable, and scientific treatment plan for your wife. We estimate that she can live for about another eight months," Marcus said proudly."What did you say?" Anthony was taken aback and then became angry. "Eight months? You can't cure my wife?"Marcus smiled and said, "Mister Scott, don't joke. This is a congenital disease, which means your wife is destined to live to this age, and no one can change it."As soon as he finished speaking, Anthony grabbed at his collar."Fuck you! Mister Levin said that my wife will be cured in an hour.""Mister Scott, this kind of joke is not funny at all. I am this hospital's best internal medicine specialist, and what I say has absolute authority." Marcus quickly explained.At that moment, the various instruments in the ward initially used to monitor Tammy's physical condition suddenly emitted harsh and sharp beeping sounds.Beep beep beepTammy's heart rate plummeted, and every organ in her body issued abn
"Fuck you, bastard!" Anthony slapped Marcus."You almost killed my wife, yet you still dare to throw accusations around? Just you wait. When I'm done dealing with my wife, I will come for you."Anthony almost died of anger.The bastard harmed his wife, and he still wanted to cause further confusion and prevent Ashton from saving his wife. Did he have a grudge against Tammy to want her dead?When Ashton came to the hospital bed, he did not dare to hesitate for another second. He started massaging her. Starting from the pressure point in the middle of Tammy's forehead, he moved down to her chin. At the same time, his other hand quickly twisted, accumulated more core essence, and reapplied the medicinal patches.From top to bottom, the light energy flowed.From bottom to top, the dark energy flowed.Two distinct energies flowed up and down her meridians and blended near Tammy's lower abdomen's elixir core.When the two energies converged, the detection instruments that had issued
The indifference on her face was chilling.Inside the car, the driver could not help shivering. He wondered if the woman was made of ice.The car drove north to the Acton Chamber of Commerce's pharmaceutical group headquarters in Edren County.It was a 30-story building with the words Acton Chamber of Commerce on the signboard.The pharmaceutical group was just one of the Acton Chamber of Commerce branches. Due to the rise of the Internet in recent years and the popularity of health and beauty products, a substantial online sales channel was born.The combination of network and physical sales was the core of Acton Pharmaceuticals' future development.When they reached the 27th floor, Aerin pushed the hall door open. The inside was packed.In addition to senior management, the group had many technicians, scientific researchers, and pharmacists of various drug categories. Most were graduates of top schools and top chemistry students who returned from abroad."Miss Blau, the resea
Aerin nearly lost her cool.Solomon stroked his chin with great interest.As for the others, they were all waiting for a good show to happen."Ash, let's calm down. After all, pharmaceuticals are not our strong suit..."Before Anthony finished speaking, he was interrupted."Who said that pharmacy is not my strong suit?"Ashton turned his head and glanced at Aerin. "It seems Miss Blau is not sincere about this deal, so let's stop working together."Just as Ashton wanted to leave, some bodyguards stopped him."Miss Blau, you don't think you can keep me here by force, do you?" Ashton flicked his wrist."Of course not. You're confident enough to come here, so you must be confident you can leave at your will."However, you should not underestimate me as well. I can talk to you calmly, and I can also hold you down, Ashton. What do you think, Mister Levin?" Aerin played with the ice-blue ring on her finger. The smile on her face was sweet and harmless."Why don't you try it?" Ashto
"I'm a pharmacist, not a cultivator. Don't scare me with your tricks." Solomon's eyes were cold."Your cultivation status is irrelevant to me. I can kill you anytime if you provoke me." Ashton laughed."You!" Solomon nearly choked on anger.The man had no sportsmanship spirit at all! Solomon had told him he was not a cultivator or a warrior, so why would he want to fight him?"Mister Levin, we did not mean to cause trouble. Didn't you say that I was not sincere about this deal? Then I'll change to a more sincere method." Aerin played with her beautiful nails. "Mister Levin, you want to be Acton Pharmaceutical Group's pharmaceutical director, right?""That's right." Ashton raised his eyebrows slightly."I like the Acton Chamber of Commerce's medicinal material purchase channel. If I can work with you, it will be a win-win situation for both of us."The smile on Aerin's face became even sweeter. "Well, why don't we have a more interesting contest? Let's see if your knowledge of ph
Ashton turned and walked into the apothecary lab, casually picking a few herbs from a shelf brimming with medicinal ingredients. In pharmaceuticals, the ultimate mastery lies in using the simplest components to unleash their complete medicinal properties, creating various effects. For instance, combining Jewel weed and wisteria flower in a three-to-one ratio and adding three grams of seeds can instantly produce a potent poison capable of disrupting blood composition. The balance between Jewel weed and wisteria flower is critical; even the slightest deviation can significantly ruin the medicine, reducing its toxicity.Such is the marvel of pharmacology.Minutes later, Ashton stood before a mass of greenish medicinal paste. He drained the liquid from the paste and blended it with one gram of butterfly ginger and three grams of pure reishi mushroom. After heating the mixture over low flame for three minutes, the paste miraculously solidified into a reddish-green pill.Holding the pill
It was not the time to lay all his cards on the table."Do you have any concerns, Mister Levin?" Aerin looked at him curiously."Not really, though you can be a bit warmer," Ashton said, half-jokingly.Seemingly unaware of the hidden meaning behind Ashton's words, Aerin steered the conversation back to pharmaceuticals. According to Aerin, Acton Pharmaceuticals' biggest competitor in the Central South and South Edren regions was the Holden Biological Company.Holden Biological Company? The name caught Ashton off guard. Was that the firm controlled by Kendra's mother, Rubie? Was it ethical to help Aerin against the Lockwood family's pharmaceutical company? Furthermore, could he even trust Aerin? If it were not for mutually beneficial interests, they would never collaborate."Oh, by the way, Mister Levin, I have another favor to ask you," Aerin said."Asking for my assistance comes at a price, and it's usually steep," Ashton said."Mister Levin, you must be joking! It's only a smal
"Yanne? Ashton?" Alora's mood instantly sour. Seeing her ex-husband strolling around with another woman had dampened her spirits. Furthermore, given the tumultuous events that had unfolded since their divorce just a few weeks ago, Alora was not just upset; she felt utterly betrayed and uncomfortable."What's up, Alora? Who are you looking at? Someone you know?" Florence and Hugo caught up from behind.With just a glance, Florence immediately spotted Ashton, and her smile vanished instantly. "Levin?""Why do we see him wherever we go? Does he have a nose for sniffing us out?""Missus Latham, Alora, who are you talking about?" Hugo stepped forward, smiling curiously."Who else?" Florence gestured toward Ashton's retreating figure. "Alora's ex-husband. The good-for-nothing leech who's been freeloading off the Latham family for years."Hugo's expression instantly turned icy, and a sneer crept across his lips. "Ex-husband?""Mom! He saved Grandpa. You don't have to speak so harshly,"
Once the news spread, the world was in an uproar.The ban on nuclear weapons had been lifted?That meant the nuclear weapon's password had been entered, and the weapon could be launched from the ground with a single command.Furthermore, it differed from the time in the Syferian ice plains. Taking into account the international community's influence, Sunoria used a low-tonnage nuclear bomb with minimal lethality, but Aarrowsmith was different. Once they decided to use nuclear weapons, they would disregard all public opinion until they had utterly destroyed their opponents. In that case, the bombed area would be a wasteland where nothing could live for at least a century.Nobody wanted nuclear weapons to detonate on their own territory.Therefore, wherever Ashton was, the country in charge of that territory would be in a panic.Sceponyol and the allied countries quickly convened a military meeting and contacted Aarrowsmith, demanding a halt to the nuclear bombings.However, when
A single person had destroyed an entire fleet."Your actions will start a war!" Leblanc roared furiously."You're an insignificant clown; your words don't matter. Furthermore, so what if I start a war?"Ashton regarded Nimo with interest. Nimo and the others were dressed in combat suits and ready for a final desperate fight."Hand over the core technology of the combat suit and the formula for the Water of Youth, and I will let you live today," Ashton said.He admitted to being greedy for Aarrowsmith's technological advancements—not for their combat effectiveness, but for the scientific application behind those means.If members of Obsidian Gates were equipped with that type of combat suit and the Water of Youth, combined with the martial arts practitioner's own methods, their combat effectiveness would skyrocket. Everyone would become a super warrior fearless of death.However, his words made Nimo laugh wildly."Do you think it's up to you? A filthy Linnish man wants the sixth
Nimo laughed. "We're safe! Everyone, the retreat mission has been completed successfully." Nimo finally felt relaxed.Three other figures then appeared on the ship.Their combat suit was removed, revealing the figures of a woman and two men.The Annihilator Team had only four survivors.The captain of the ship approached the deck."I am Leblanc, the ship's commander, and I have been ordered to come pick you up. Why are there only four of you? What about the others?" Leblanc inquired in a suspicious tone."All of them are dead. That Linnish warrior killed them.""What?"Leblanc was shocked.He knew what power the Annihilator Team wielded, and he was sent to perform that task precisely because of that. He responded as soon as possible and cooperated unconditionally because he knew that any task assigned to the Annihilator Team had to be something he could not ignore.He also understood the Annihilator Team's composition—the frontline combat team, the communications team, the in
The battle continued.Ashton only used a sliver of true thunder's power before annihilating several members hiding in the dark in one fell swoop. Those members were waiting to report the news.The Annihilator Team was not made up entirely of combatants.The sixth-gen combat suit was still in development and had not yet been officially added to the assembly plan, so only frontline combatants wore it.For example, communications, intelligence collection, transmission, and backend members wore standard fifth-gen combat suits.In the face of that devastating thunder, there was no powerful self-healing and recovery ability, nor the ability of the Water of Youth to reshape the body. The other members were destroyed almost in the blink of an eye."Damn, what kind of weapon is that?"The captain roared frantically during the attack."Captain, this is the latest information—he found an artifact that gathers thunder and lightning at the Church of Darkness' headquarters in Edlington. That
"What? Is our warship here?""It has arrived offshore. Our country is our strongest supporter. No one can take action against Aarrowsmith's soldiers!" The man's confidence had skyrocketed.He had been a member of the Annihilator Team for over a decade and had been promoted to captain along the way. He had never encountered such a situation on a mission. A warship from Aarrowsmith's strongest navy had appeared to escort him in defeating their enemy. That undoubtedly helped him gain confidence."Fight as you retreat; buy me time."The captain took the Brain's terminal and refilled a black magnetic rod.At that moment, an indescribable scream ripped through the sky. As soon as it ended, a 50-meter building containing several people collapsed.Ashton was wearing the Obsidian Jade Scales and resisted dozens of gunshots. He grabbed a sniper from the Annihilator Team, swooped down, and smashed the opponent into the ground, grinding them into powder and ripping the combat suit apart. The
"Since the first battle in the Syferian ice plains, no one has ever caused me such a severe injury."Ashton threw a punch with enough force to cause massive explosions, swiping it at 30 times the speed of sound.The man in black armor raised his large shield almost subconsciously.When Ashton's fist made contact with the shield, a silent ripple of space appeared, and ultrasonic waves that normal creatures could not hear spread frantically in all directions like a silent bell signaling the end of the world."Hmm?"Ashton realized that when the two forces came into contact, the shield vibrated at trillions of times per second while the special metal inside formed a ring-shaped magnetic field. That magnetic field disrupted the surrounding energy flow to resolve the power emitted by his punch.It functioned similarly to the previous black magnetic rod, except one was used for attacks and the other for defense."Go!" The man's arms were numb. He held a shield and dragged the woman at
It got close to Ashton in a matter of seconds, and the black magnetic rod exploded at a speed that was almost certainly 20 times the speed of sound. No other weapon in the world could do what it did.Therefore, even Ashton was careless. His carelessness stemmed from his belief that, even if his mana could not stop the destructive power of that magnetic rod, he could at least slow it down for a moment. That moment was sufficient for him to react and take appropriate countermeasures.He did not expect the magnetic rod to ignore his mana and injure him instead.Modern weapons that could ignore mana defenses were certainly interesting."Unexpectedly, we were forced to use Plan B, utilizing the valuable Breaker Black Pillar. That damn Linnish warrior! That cost a billion dollars!" The thin man holding the transmitter removed the black sunglasses from his face and cursed viciously."Don't complain; that's Ashton. He's known as the strongest man in Lindorm. Even if we lose tens of billio
"What have you been up to, Ashton? There's no way it was just about breaking Mister Darek's curse, right? When Mister Johnson saw you, he was terrified and booked us on the first flight out," Kendra said, her voice tinged with disbelief.Ashton simply smiled, unfazed. "Oh, nothing much. I just took a quick stroll around the country and picked up a few favors along the way.""When's the flight Harry booked for us?""Tomorrow morning, six sharp," Kendra said, still incredulous."He can't wait to see the back of us," Ashton said with a laugh, but he got it—it was part of the job.Sceponyol could only begin to pick up the pieces and shuffle the deck after Ashton left. With him around, everything stopped, with unexpected events lurking around every corner."Well then, let's make the most of tonight and head out bright and early tomorrow, back home.""I'm with you. It's not every day we get to go abroad. I'm too wired to sleep anyway. Might as well check out what kind of fun this coun
"That's Mister Ashton Levin!"Harry's confirmation hit Luce like a ton of bricks.He might not have met Ashton before, but he knew the name carried a lot of power. The entire upper echelon of Sceponyol and their allied countries had been on edge, dealing with that Lindorm warrior's actions. Rumor had it he had come from the east, smashing through dozens of mercenary strongholds, clearing out the Bit Sea Strait, surviving a thermobaric onslaught, and marching straight into Brighton, putting the whole city on high alert.Blood Monarch Alexander had entered the fray, but even he could not withstand the onslaught and was cut down by Ashton. That bold move sent shockwaves through Sceponyol's superbeings community, leaving them humiliated and thirsting for revenge. In a show of force, the Five Great Guardians mobilized with one goal—to take down the perpetrator and restore their tarnished reputation on the world stage. After a grueling battle that lasted over an hour, the guardians lay de
