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.

    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

    Cameron was also insulting with the look on his face.Cameron thought the person driving the pickup was certainly not of high status nor my match."I also brought a dozen people with me.

    At that time, the three of them came to the throne.The first thing that caught their attention was not the largest treasure chest, but a statue of the Great King on the throne.Liam was very surprised when he felt the splendour of the statue.Of course, it was pressure coming from the Great King.Even though it was a statue, she felt like kneeling before it."Damn. It turns out that the Great King looks quite ugly. When I finish taking the treasure, I'll have to pee on his statue head before I leave. It was fun thinking about that."Henley laughed.Then, the three of them focused their attention on the treasure chest beside them.Some of the treasure chests have been opened to reveal the jewellery inside. The jewellery inside exudes luxury.Suddenly, the three of them smiled happily.Now they are no longer interested in the usual gold and silver jewellery.After all, they are not ordinary people.Ho

    The eyes of all the statues were fixed on the three of them standing in the way of the gold coins.Although the eyes of the statues were blank, they looked as if they were staring at the enemy.Although the statues had no consciousness, the three of them knew that anyone who dared to enter their master's Mausoleum would never be forgiven.The three of them were also frightened by the events unfolding before their eyes."Well, of course the Great King's tomb is not simple. This is the first time I've seen those statues rise." Liam said in surprise.Before they could react, thousands of statues rushed at them."Damn, these statues have been resurrected."Henley took out his short knife and said loudly, "Elena, let's fight together."Elena nodded and said to Liam, "Liam, be careful."After that, Elena and Henley ran towards the statues.Desing. Desing.Their weapons clashed with the weapons of the statues and made a loud noise.The strength of the statues was not very great. Almost all o

    Upon entering the tomb, Bryce fell silent.This tomb is too big.Probably about a few hectares.it is almost equivalent to a large playground.Who else had a large tomb in ancient times?Only the Great King.However, that was not the most surprising thing to Bryce. What was most surprising was the view inside.The first thing you notice are the statues of warriors densely placed inside the tomb.Each statue was the same size as a normal human being. He can even see the faces of each statue.The soldiers held their weapons which made the atmosphere at the tomb tense.Although they were not real, they still gave Bryce a sense of reality. It was as if Bryce wasn't dealing with statues, but real soldiers.It gave him the illusion of being on an ancient battlefield.In the centre of the square rows formed by the statues, there is a corridor.The whole street is made of gold coins.The path c

    "Well, I was right. You can't know the way out. There's only one way out and the others lead to execution. Even if you have a 50% chance of guessing the right answer, you miss it. You're just rubbish. You're not a rival for Liam."When she heard Liam's words, Henley looked at Bryce with a sneer and said coldly.In Henley's heart, Liam's answer was always right. There must be no problem.Liam pretended to look at Bryce calmly and wanted to hear what Bryce had to say.He was forced to give the wrong answer.According to her guess, Bryce would not have thought of the right path. Bryce might get confused by the grave owner and choose the execution route.However, Bryce's answer was beyond her expectations.Bryce chose the right path.According to the rules set beforehand, the person who is the fastest and gives the right answer wins.That's why when Bryce gives the right answer, Liam will lose because he has the same answer as Bryce.How can he admit defeat?He could only point out the pa

    Henley and Elena also noticed Liam's displeased look."Young man, can you do it?"If you really don't have the ability to figure out which path is the right one, there's no need to pretend. No one is blaming you. It does require high knowledge and it's not as easy as avoiding a few traps. If you lead us to a dead end, I will kill you before we die."Henley threatened while looking at Bryce with a hateful gaze."That's right. If you really can't, just ask Liam to do it. After all, not everyone is as good as Liam." Elena said scornfully.Bryce ignored the three people. His eyes flickered and he used the God's Eye move once more.In an instant, he could see both ends of the path in the cave. He could see which path was the right one.Bryce opened his eyes and found the right path. However, the other three thought that he had done absolutely nothing.In addition, Bryce did not admit that he could not find the right path. The three

    Liam led them. They soon arrived at a place halfway up the mountain."According to my previous calculations, the entrance of the Great King's Mausoleum should be near."Liam looked around and took out a compass.He fiddled with the compass many times. Then, the compass needle began to spin rapidly.After a while, the needle finally stopped and pointed in a direction."That way."Liam pointed in a direction and began to move faster.When he had walked about fifty metres, the compass needle suddenly changed direction and pointed in the opposite direction.He immediately stopped and pointed to the direction under his feet. Then he said, "Here. Tambun, let's do your job."Okay. Leave it to me."Henley moved to this place quickly.He twisted his wrist.Then a silver shimmering short sword appeared in his grasp.He then flicked his short sword and stirred the ground beneath his feet.Moments later, a stone door leading to the sky appeared on the ground.The stone door was carved with intric

    Bryce was also surprised to see the three people.However, he didn't care how the three of them came. After all, he didn't interact much with these three people, so he ignored them and left directly."I was talking to you."When she saw this, Elena's face looked angry.In the past, when a man saw her, he would be infatuated with her and could not move.But now, Elena was being ignored."Shit. You bastard. Didn't you hear Elena talking to you? Are you deaf?"Henley was angry and wanted to defend Elena. He rushed after Bryce and blocked his way.With a creepy smile on his face, Henley continued, "You mentioned me at the shop earlier. There were too many people, so I didn't hit you then. I said that if I met you again in the future, I would teach you how to behave. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.""Out of the way." Bryce had nothing more to say."How dare you. I will kill you." Henley was enraged and was about to attack.However, there was a sudden calm voice, "Tambun, s
