“According to my master’s letter, Dale Jimenez is not our enemy—he’s one of us.”“He’s a piece my master placed on the board.”Joseph explained.“What?”Neil Foster and Brian Adams shot to their feet at the same time, stunned.“At first, I found it unbelievable as well. But the brilliance of my master’s designs is beyond our imagination.”“Even in those circumstances, he still managed to set something like this in motion.”Joseph said, not without admiration.“Dale Jimenez is one of our own.”“This move strikes directly at the lifeblood of the three elders of the Central Council.”“After all, Dale Jimenez was the very man they elevated—firmly seated for years as the commander of the Southern Frontier.”“Those three old fools in the Central Council would never have imagined that the man they so carefully selected was, in fact, the general’s.”Neil Foster said with a sigh. Extraordinary men accomplished extraordinary things—this was precisely why they had chosen to follow Eugene Wilson.

“Whether I’ve been worn out or not—you would know, wouldn’t you?”Joseph shot back.“For now, maybe not. But who can say about the future?”“Isn’t there a saying? The field never gets worn out—only the ox does.”Heidi replied, looking quite pleased with her own wisdom.“I didn’t realize you knew so much.”Joseph gave a wry smile.“Of course I do. I may not have had a boyfriend before, but just because I haven’t tasted pork doesn’t mean I haven’t seen pigs run.”She lifted her chin slightly, a hint of playful pride in her tone.“So, have you tasted pork now?”Joseph asked.“Heh… what do you think?”Heidi smiled slyly, her meaning unmistakable.Joseph could only shake his head. These three women—each one more beguiling than the last.“By the way, what would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll cook for you.”Heidi said.“You? Cooking yourself?”Joseph raised a brow, surprised.“Of course. I adore you, don’t I? You’ve just come back from such a long journey—I’ll make you a proper meal.”She

“Of course. It’s still early.”Joseph said with a smile, glancing at the time.The three of them chatted and laughed along the way, and before long, they arrived home.“Professor Wilson, you rest for a bit. The kid and I will head out to buy groceries.”As soon as they got in, Mason Alvarez said to Joseph.“Why not buy them on the way back?”Joseph asked, puzzled. They used to pick things up on their commute.“Because we didn’t want you getting worn out. We wanted to get you home as quickly as possible so you could rest.”Mason replied matter-of-factly.“Alright then.”Joseph scratched his head.“We’ll be back soon. Stay in and relax.”With that, Mason headed out first.At that moment, Alice came out of her room.“Joseph, I’m heading out. Wait for us at home, okay?”As she spoke, she leaned in and stole a quick kiss from his lips.In that fleeting closeness, the intoxicating fragrance of her lingered in the air, leaving Joseph momentarily dazed.This girl—after just a few days apart,

“If we could guess, why would we bother asking you?”The two of them were practically beside themselves with curiosity.“It’s a pay raise.”“They said we did an excellent job hosting Mr. Joseph this time.”“Headquarters has decided to increase the salary of everyone involved in the reception by fifteen percent.”Manager Howard announced, barely containing his delight.“Wow—a raise? That’s even better than a bonus. This is amazing!”“Hey, Old Hu, does that include us at the front desk too?”The two receptionists cheered, yet couldn’t help asking.“Of course it includes you. Didn’t I say everyone involved?”Howard replied.“Wow, that’s fantastic!”“A raise—this is incredible!”The two were overjoyed.“On top of that, there should also be a one-time bonus.”“But the exact amount hasn’t been decided yet.”Howard added.“A bonus too?”“Headquarters is being incredibly generous.”“Is Mr. Joseph really that important?”They were astonished.“His status is one thing, but more importantly, he’

Just as before, after entering the suite, Joseph headed straight for a shower.A full day on the road had left him somewhat dusty.Joseph liked to keep himself clean—not out of any obsessive habit, but simply by nature.By the time he finished his shower and emerged refreshed, the table had already been laid out with an array of dishes.To be honest, after days of hearty meals, Joseph was not particularly hungry.Life in the mountains, while not lavish, still provided more than enough in terms of food and necessities.After finishing his meal, Joseph dismissed the staff.He then closed the door and took out another communication device—one Neil Foster had prepared for him.It operated on a highly secure channel.Before long, someone answered on the other end.“Hello, Young Master?”Neil Foster’s voice came through the device.“It’s me.”Joseph replied.At that moment, another voice followed, tinged with urgency.“Young Master, how are things? Is everything proceeding smoothly?”It was

As Eugene Wilson’s disciple, Joseph’s capabilities spoke for themselves.Dragging back a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds single-handedly was no feat an ordinary person could accomplish.To regard Joseph as anything ordinary would be a grave misjudgment.Within the bounds of Mystic Medical Valley, the environment was not only rich with game in the mountains, but its rivers and lakes teemed with plump fish and shellfish.Joseph spent the entire afternoon wandering along nearby rivers and lakes with the children. When they returned, they carried two baskets brimming with fish, along with shrimp, turtles, and an assortment of freshwater delicacies.Once again, Joseph left everyone in awe.His abundant harvest not only gave the children a feast to remember, but also treated the entire village to a rare bounty.By evening, every household brought out their finest dishes and best wine to share. The atmosphere was lively and filled with laughter.Unsurprisingly, Kim Frederick broke
