"It’s not impossible, but I’d have to go through my father—he might have a way.""Still, we may be short on time."Alice pondered the matter carefully."Ahem… whether it’s cold weapons or firearms, I already have what I need."Joseph cleared his throat lightly."You really do?"Alice looked unconvinced."Of course. For me, acquiring a few means of self-defense is hardly difficult."Joseph replied with quiet certainty."Alright, then."Alice chose to believe him; Joseph wasn’t the kind of person who would lie to her."Don’t worry so much, you little thing.""With Professor Wilson’s strength, he’s as fierce as any predator.""In those deep mountains, wolves and tigers aren’t the real threats—he is.""Any beast that sees him would think twice and steer clear."Mason Alvarez spoke with careless confidence."No matter how strong a person is, it’s not the same as facing wild animals."Alice countered."Relax. No beast is going to harm me. You’re underestimating me."Joseph said with an easy

"Alright, I won’t bother with any more pleasantries.""I’ve scheduled a session at the West Mountain base this afternoon—it’s about time I head over."Joseph glanced at the time and smiled."I’ll come along. There’s nothing much to do here anyway. I’d feel more at ease keeping an eye on their training at West Mountain."Hearing this, Brian Adams volunteered without hesitation.And so, the two of them set off together for the West Mountain base.This wasn’t Joseph’s first time leading training there; by now, he was thoroughly familiar with the place.With Joseph’s involvement, the elite trainees at West Mountain had seen a noticeable leap in strength—an improvement visible to the naked eye.Over the past few months, Joseph had spent five or six days each month at the base, training alongside Brian Adams.Meanwhile, his own abilities had steadily returned to their peak with the passage of time.Of course, this was closely tied to Alice and Mason Alvarez.After spending the entire aftern

In the history of Nova University—and perhaps in the annals of the nation’s medical development—this was unprecedented. The meteoric rise of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital had Geoffrey Harris grinning from ear to ear, and his trust in Joseph deepened into open admiration.Meanwhile, the joint venture Dragon Soaring Group, along with the Morgan and Cooper families, had surged ahead over these few months. Under Fiona’s stewardship, Dragon Soaring was firing on all cylinders, profits rolling in by the day. With Joseph’s new drug patents in hand, the Morgan and Cooper interests cut a swath through the pharmaceutical sector—more harvest than contest. In mere months, the Cooper family’s overall profits had multiplied several dozen times. By year’s end, they had muscled into Elysia’s top five pharma giants.As for the Morgan Group, it stood at the summit—first among all, with the faint but unmistakable momentum of a company bound for global primacy. And all of this had taken only a handful of

After so much effort and careful groundwork, they had finally arrived at the landscape he’d envisioned—no small feat. Joseph drove on, mulling it over. Staring into the long sweep of night, he pressed the accelerator and picked up speed. In moments, his car slipped into the dark and was gone.Metropolis City, Central Council.It was already ten at night. Vincent Murphy, Benson Cooper, and Preston Gutierrez were still in a small conference room. Stacks of files lay across the table. The three men studied the pages, their expressions odd.“Twenty-one of the twenty-seven southern provinces are demanding the cause of Eugene Wilson’s death. How ironic,” Vincent sneered. “What did that man feed them to make them race about on his behalf—even in death?”“I’ve said it all along,” Benson chimed in. “Eugene Wilson had his hand over the sun. He had to go.”Off to the side, Preston flicked a look of disdain so subtle it almost went unnoticed. And you’ve got your hand over the sun now; should some

Listening to Joseph, Neil Foster nodded slightly. He had considered the same possibility; hearing Joseph lay it out only firmed his conviction.“So this Dale Jimenez isn’t such a fool after all,” Brian Adams said, surprised.“If he were, he couldn’t have sat so unshaken as Southern Frontier commander for all these years,” Neil replied. “What I want to know is what he told those old generals to make them stand down.”“We can’t chase that answer now,” Joseph said. “Time will make it plain enough. That’s the Southern Frontier. What about Metropolis City—how are things there?”“Once word of the General’s assassination began to spread, twenty-one of the twenty-seven southern provinces sent formal inquiries to the Central Council, demanding the truth,” Neil reported.“Oh?” Joseph was taken aback.“The southern twenty-seven have long lived under the shield of the Southern Frontier forces. When the General still lived, his standing there was immense. Now that he’s been murdered, naturally the

Old Mr. Cooper sincerely hoped the two of them could untie the knot and speak frankly. If, by some chance, they could find their way back to each other, that would be best of all. But he knew it was only his private wish. Two people already divorced, whose feelings had never run deep in the first place—could they really come together again? Old Mr. Cooper quietly asked himself.After lunch, Joseph headed back to campus for his afternoon classes. Matters at the hospital were largely handled by Mason Alvarez and the other vice deans—especially Mason, who had shouldered a great deal to ease Joseph’s burdens. Partly it was her duty; more than that, it grew from the special bond between them, which made her willing to carry more on his behalf. Joseph saw what Mason did for him; his gratitude and quiet astonishment needed no words.At times, he felt like the luckiest man alive. The women close to him had become an unfailing strength—at home, at work, in all things. May this life be one of n
