Bryce doesn't want to bother with Veronica and her family drama.

Tamara's house was a little unkempt. Bryce later sought a nicer house for Tamara and her husband. Bryce left the next day after having lunch with Tamara and David.

On the way home, Bryce read the news on his mobile phone. There was one news item that caught his attention. There was a notice saying that the Mitchell family was looking for a doctor who could cure an old man in their family. The prize was very lucrative. The notice was posted by someone called Sarah Mitchell.

"Sarah Mitchell?" muttered Bryce.

Bryce seemed to have heard the name before. Sarah was one of the top four most beautiful women in Umbrella City, just like Veronica. Sarah's family was one of the top three influential families in the city.

From the description he read, Bryce deduced that the old man was Harry Mitchell. He had a strange illness and was dying. Regular medical treatment couldn't help Harry, but Bryce

    The woman turned to stare at Bryce with a sharp look in her eyes. Just as she was about to shoo Bryce away, a young man in an expensive suit walked into the living room. He was Blake Mitchell, Sarah's eldest brother."Sarah, Grandpa is recovering. He needs peace. Why is there so much noise out here?" Blake looked around and asked, "Who are these people?"Sarah apologetically explained, "They are the doctors I hired to help Grandpa.""I've already hired a doctor for Grandpa. Tell them all to leave," Blake said nonchalantly."But Blake, leave them here. They'll be useful if that doctor you brought fails to cure Grandpa," Sarah was annoyed.Sarah had tried hard to find these doctors, but Blake sent them away. Has Blake forgotten that their grandfather hasn't recovered yet?"Are you doubting me? Do you think these shamans can compare to the doctors I work with? If my doctor can't cure Grandpa, these guys won't be able to either!" Blake snorted h

    "He is the master who can heal Mr Mitchell!" Gary exclaimed.Gary's words sounded like a bomb. Why did that happen?Blake and Sarah were dumbfounded, as were the doctors harassing Bryce."Mr Shaw, are you joking? He's just an ordinary young man!" Quinton asked in shock.Quinton couldn't believe the young man in his twenties was a better doctor than Gary."Mr Shaw, this person doesn't have any certificates. You must be mistaken!" Blake exclaimed excitedly."Are you doubting me? I've witnessed his treatment. Do you think that I am too old to make judgements?"Gary was annoyed.Seeing Gary's expression, everyone believed what he said. They did not doubt that Bryce was a medical master."Master, please help my father!" Quinton bowed and asked sincerely.Bryce turned to Blake and said, "I told you that you would kneel before me and beg for your grandfather's life. "Blake's face turned pale.Quinton didn't know what had happened, so he asked, "What's wrong?"Blake could only stay silent as

    Bryce stopped frowning and accepted the cheque, saying, "I want expensive herbs.""Bring me all our herbs," Quinton ordered his servant.The Mitchells were a large family with a varied plant collection, including herbs. Later, the servants arrived with some fragile wooden boxes.When the box was opened, Bryce saw some precious herbs.It contains a wide variety of herbal plants."This is not what I'm looking for. Take this back."Bryce shook his head.Only a few plants can live up to fifty years. However, Bryce wanted herbs that could live up to a hundred years.Quinton was somewhat surprised. The herbs were valuable, but Bryce was not satisfied.Then Quinton calmed down. After all, Bryce was an amazing doctor, so it was only natural that he would be fussy about herbs."Doctor Milano, is there anything more we can do for you?" Quinton asked politely."No need. You owe me. I'll tell you later when I need you,

    Some time ago, Veronica got word that Marella had contacted Veronica's four partners directly, so she had predicted Marella's plan and was prepared.To her, it was a cheap trick. Tiana and Marella didn't have the strength to compete for the position of head of the family. Bryce didn't stand in Veronica's way. Veronica has been the head of the family for a long time.Veronica signed it. She thought of something, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.She can handle Tiana and Marella's sneaky tricks with ease.However, finding Mr Grant of the Milano Family in such a vast world is difficult. This issue will be over in a month."How much cash do we have?" Veronica asked."One hundred and fifty billion, Mrs Carter," The employee answered.Veronica tapped the table gently after hearing his remark. Then, she looked excited and said, "Use all the money to find Mr Grant all over the country."If a company loses all its money, it

    Veronica stood up smiling and shook hands with Mike. Then, she immediately wiped the smile off her face.Then they sat down.Veronica said, "Mr Lawton, we don't know each other. Why are you willing to help me? What do you want?"Mike smiled. "Miss Carter, I would like to take this opportunity to get to know you. Let's talk about what I want after we eat."Veronica had to compromise.The waiter poured a glass of wine for each of them. They chatted and savoured the wine.Not long after, Veronica felt dizzy. She realised that she could not drink any more wine. "Mr Lawton, I've had all the wine. Now it's time for us to talk business. What do you want? I will do what you want as long as possible."Mike said nothing. He considered how to deal with Veronica.Veronica is very charming. The blush on her face made her look even more attractive.Mike's eyes lit up, and his smile grew wider. "Miss Carter, you can do it. I want you t

    "That voice, is that Bryce?" Veronica said to herself.She was ready to kill herself, but now she stopped and looked at the figure at the door with a dazed look.The figure was not tall, but at this moment, the figure seemed very extraordinary in her heart."It was you, you bastard. You still dare to bother me?"When Mike recognised Bryce, he furrowed his brow and shouted angrily at the guards outside the door with great annoyance, "Hey, aren't you doing anything? How could you let him in?"However, there was no movement whatsoever from outside the room.Mike's expression changed slightly. He suddenly thought of something and said, "They... what exactly happened? No, they didn't. There's no way. You're just a useless person. How could you possibly defeat them?"Bryce could have walked in here easily, but those guys didn't do anything to him, so something must have happened to them.However, Mike did not know how Bryce did it.

    After listening to Veronica's story, Lexy kicked the table, stood up, took Veronica's hand, and said, "Come on, let's tell Finley. Let him do it for you."Veronica shook her head bitterly and said, "It's useless. Grandfather only cares about the family's interests. The Lawton Family is already stronger than our family. Grandpa won't get into trouble with the Lawton Family."Hearing that, Lexy suddenly felt sad. She bowed her head in despair.For Veronica's sake, Finley would not look for trouble for the Lawton Family. Should Veronica be hurt?"Besides, Bryce already defended me. He broke Mike's arms and legs," Veronica added.Lexy's eyes sparkled with surprise, and finally, she smiled. After a while, she said, "I didn't think my son-in-law could be useful. "This was the first time she praised Bryce.***It was late at night. Bryce walked out of the bedroom and towards the toilet but saw someone in the living room.Veron

    Cory was nervous and unsure if Bryce would accept.Bryce nodded, took the card, and put it straight into the bag.Cory was overjoyed and said, "Master Milano, then I'll go.""Cort, let's have lunch together," David piped up."Sorry, David. I have some work to do. I'll see you next time."Cory's voice was excited, and he left without looking back."This child..."David shook his head.Bryce thought about it. Bryce knows Cory's intentions, but Bryce doesn't hate Cory because Cory cares about Tamara's family."David, where's Tamara?" Bryce asked."She's not at home. She would normally be busy working," David replied and sighed."I want to find Tamara first," Bryce said after a moment's thought."Alright, don't forget to come back for lunch." David nodded and said.Tamara opened a vegetable shop on the street when their economy was in a slump. While walking down the street, Bryce immediately finds

    "I'm just asking."Bryce smiled.Hearing that, Brewster was relieved. He said, "Don't try to break into this place. Only Mr Shaw knows where the Ancient Herb Garden is actually located. In fact, the royal family who discovered the Ancient Herb Garden had already signed a confidentiality agreement.Bryce smiled back and said nothing more.It was not difficult for him to find out the location. He just needed to find Gary or the Dukes of the royal family and interrogate them.However, it was not an urgent matter as he needed to stay in this Yarl City to find out his origins. So, he decided to wait for the start of the selection.At the same time, Brewster received a text message.After he read the text message, he told Bryce, "Mr Milano, your place is ready. Follow me."Then, they returned to the Sword Skill School and headed for several residences.The residences are not spacious.Each is only about three or four hu

    Hearing this, Allen looked angry.However, after a while, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Bryce, I'm just kidding. I'm just joking. Since you are already a teacher at the Sword Skills School, we will be colleagues from now on. We will meet every day. Just forget what I said earlier."Allen is a teacher at the Sword Skills School and he has so many students.If he knelt down and apologised to Bryce now, he would definitely become the joke of the Sword Skills School for all time.Bryce didn't say anything, but his gaze turned cold."Allen is really shameless. Already lost the bet, now he's acting like nothing happened.""If Bryce had lost, he wouldn't have let Bryce go.""Allen is annoying. How can someone like that be a good teacher?"The people who were there also criticised Allen."Allen, don't embarrass us. I am the one who is ashamed of what you have done. Kneel down and apologise to Bryce."Brewster shouted at Allen in excitement."Mr Miller, you've lost the bet. Do you want to em

  • Amazement and Awe

    Brewster was dumbfounded. He did not expect Bryce to agree to his request.Bryce is very stubborn.He still accepted the challenge, no matter how difficult it was.In her opinion, Bryce must be an arrogant person because he is talented in Sword Skills and is easily provoked when others provoke him.However, why would he choose to take the risk if he could play it safe?It didn't seem like a wise move. Everyone looked at Bryce in surprise, then shook their heads.Although talented in Sword Skills, he shouldn't act that arrogant.Doesn't he know that the higher he flies, the greater the pain if he falls?If he lost, he would suffer the consequences. Hearing Bryce's words, Allen burst out laughing."You already agreed to it. I've agreed too. If you win, I will kneel down to you and apologise."Allen was convinced that there was no way Bryce could refine his martial arts techniques to Expert Phase in just an hour, so he agreed without hesitation.After saying that, Allen's smile suddenly

    "Ruben."Allen rushed over to Ruben to check on his condition.The audience erupted in applause.Owen could not resist standing up and clapping for Bryce."Absolute genius.""Bryce is great. There will be other talented masters at the Sword Skills School."Brewster also stood up and applauded sincerely.A roar of applause filled the entire hall.All participants applauded without exception.Bryce's outstanding performance impressed them.They had questioned Bryce's talent and ability, even suggesting that he was not a master.However, they were surprised to learn that Bryce was so talented. They admired Bryce."Bryce is strong, but nothing compared to the talents from other departments." Bonnie said spitefully in the corner of the hall.However, Bonnie actually recognised Bryce's ability.Owen slowly stood up and walked towards the arena, then called out, "I hereby announce that the tea

    "Where's your sword? Hurry up and take it out. Otherwise, people will think I'm bullying you."Ruben was surprised to see that Bryce was not carrying any weapons."Sword?"Bryce smiled faintly. He clenched his fists and used his Internal Force to pick up the branch that had thrown him to the floor."Do you want to fight me with that branch?"Ruben's face became grim.Ruben thought that Bryce was patronising him."I have a sword in my heart, so everything can be my sword." Bryce said faintly."What are you showing off for?"Ruben was angry. "You're showing off for being talented in Sword Skills."However, if you dare to show off in our fight, I will make you regret it."All your words are nonsense."Ruben started to move after finishing his sentence.He pointed his sword at Bryce.Bryce smiled faintly as Ruben's sword was about to stab him. Bryce picked up the branch.Ruben looked at him contemptuously.Ruben initially thought that Bryce could demonstrate his Sword Skill techniques wit

  • Admiration

    The roar of the swords filled the air, as if they wanted to rebel from their owner's grasp.All the participants exchanged confused and anxious looks.They didn't know what had happened.Everyone started thinking about what was really going on in their minds.The crowd gasped, suddenly turning their heads towards Bryce in unison.After Bryce performed his technique, strange things began to happen.It was because Bryce had mastered all the techniques and reached the Expert Phase.It was only natural that Bryce was recognised as a genius in Sword Skills.The weapons have energy and they want a strong owner.Bryce's strength was great enough to pull those weapons. All the weapons were eager to serve Bryce.The three judges widened their eyes in disbelief."Is this the Expert Phase?" Owen muttered."Mr Woolley, do you think Bryce is amazing? Genius. Would you believe that Bryce could reach the Expert Phase just by reading a book once? Oh, my goodness." Brewster said excitedly. Allen was s

    As soon as they entered, they noticed Bryce.Bryce was still too young. There was no doubt that he stood out the most among the few Brawlers who took the exam. It was hard to ignore him.They also doubted Bryce's strength and wondered if Bryce was an Expert.However, this will only be known once the second round begins.If Bryce did not have the strength of an Expert and came to play around, Bryce would receive severe punishment.Hence, they all just observed Bryce without harbouring any dislike for him.However, when they saw that Bryce was just randomly flipping through books and not cultivating Sword Skill techniques, they became angry.According to them, Bryce did not pay attention to the exam at all.They think Bryce is just playing around here.They considered Bryce's behaviour to be disrespectful to the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute.At this time, Brewster who was in charge of the first round of the exam asked Bryce, "Why don't you cultivate the Sword Skill technique?""I've

    The next day.Bryce came to the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute again. He came to take the Sword Skills instructor selection exam.Bryce came here for two reasons.The first is to explore the Ancient Herb Garden.The second and most important thing is to find out his identity.Bryce wanted to investigate the totem.Bryce believed that the pattern on the school badge of the Yarl City Institute of Martial Arts was the same as the pattern on the small altar Bryce saw in the Great King's Mausoleum. it was not a coincidence.Therefore, Bryce wanted to enter the Yarl City Martial Arts Institute to find out the truth.At the same time, a woman wearing work clothes stood at the door.Bryce approached him and asked, "Where is the location of the Sword Skills teacher exam?""Do you want to take part in our school's Sword Skills teacher exam?"The woman was shocked.The woman's name was Bonnie Carter. She was in charge of receiving people taking the Sword Skills teacher exam at the door.The pe

    "If we join the Carter Royal Family, what kind of status will I get?" Veronica asked after weighing up the good and bad.If she had many advancement opportunities within the Carter Royal Family, she would have been willing to take them.However, if she could only become a marginalised figure after joining the Carter Royal Family, there would be no point in joining."You seem to be quite ambitious."Jaime instantly understood Veronica's thoughts and said with a smile, "The Carter Royal Family treats everyone equally and values the talented. As long as you have the ability, you will be rewarded, and even have the opportunity to run for leadership in the future."To get Veronica to join the Carter Royal Family, Jaime added some tantalising conditions.After all, it's just a verbal promise, it won't affect anything.Veronica was rather excited after hearing Jaime's words.Veronica believes that she can continue to be stronger and achieve a lot within the Carter Royal Family as long as she
