The secretary hurried over, just in time to be seen by Cole.He laughed heartily, commanding the secretary, “Come on, kneel!”The secretary’s face was anxious as she exclaimed, “Mr. Waxman, something bad has happened!”The music inside the villa was too loud, so Cole could not hear her at all.Seeing that his secretary was not kneeling, he slapped her across the face.The secretary, with her eyes red, was utterly aggrieved.However, she dared not delay and hastily turned off the stereo.Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Cole was even more furious. “Are you trying to die, bitch? How dare you ruin my mood like this?!”The secretary was incredibly wronged but still had to speak.She quickly walked to Cole and whispered into his ear, “Mr. Waxman, it’s bad…”Initially quite upset, Cole’s eyes flickered with a terrifying cold light after hearing the secretary’s words. He resembled a venomous snake.“I’ve truly underestimated that little beast!” His eyes continuously shimmered
Inside a private club, there was a conversation taking place.“Governor Zaccone, let me give you a toast. You seem to be getting younger and younger.”Cole raised his glass to a man in his 40s who wore glasses and was polite in demeanor.This man was Nicholas.Nicholas picked up his glass, clinked it against Cole’s, took a sip, and chuckled. “You misspoke. I’m just the deputy. Please be sure to take note of that.”Cole straightened his expression. “You’re joking. The other one’s health has been declining, and I heard he’s retiring this year. Apart from you, who else in Martial City is qualified for the position of governor? So, there's absolutely no issue with calling you the governor now."Nicholas immediately became serious. “Don’t say that again in the future, or I won’t be able to spare you!”Although he said this, the smile in his eyes betrayed his true inner thoughts.Cole nodded repeatedly. “Your correction is well noted.”Cole seemed to have thought of something and pu
She had a face with a trace of allure and a head of smooth, black hair. Her eyes were like serene pools. It was Faye.Seth was somewhat surprised, “What a coincidence. We meet again.”Faye, in a delightful mood because she unexpectedly met Seth again, inquired, “Mr. Yeager, where are you headed?”Seth, amused and resigned, replied, “This is a flight to Martial City. Where do you think I’m headed?”Faye’s cheeks turned a shade redder. “How silly of me. I got a bit excited seeing you, Mr. Yeager.”Seth shook his head with a smile.Faye continued, “Mr. Yeager, what would you like to drink? What would you like to eat? I’ll get it for you.”“Instant noodles and a glass of orange juice will do.“Such a bumpkin!”As soon as Seth finished speaking, a woman beside him curled her lips as her face showed disdain. “Eating instant noodles in first class, you really are a country bumpkin. I bet you used several months of salary to buy a first-class ticket. You must be here to hit on c
"Which real estate company do you work for?" Seth's abrupt question immediately unsettled the woman’s gaze, but she concealed it quite well. Seth, however, still caught onto it. He had some doubts at the start, but he was absolutely certain now. He had no grievances with the woman, yet a somewhat normal person would not taunt him so directly. So, there was only one possibility, and that was that she had done it intentionally—either to keep him here or to delay him as much as possible. The woman might not know where Seth was going, but regardless, delaying him was the goal. The only people who might try to do this or were motivated to do it were those from the real estate companies. He could not think of anyone else. The woman's voice grew louder. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you'd better not try to escape now!"The louder she became, the more it proved her guilt. Seth could not be bothered to care which real estate company she was from. He would settle all of t
The captain led everyone to the lounge. With a serious expression, he said, "Everyone, whatever you saw today, bring it with you to the grave!""Captain, just who is that guy?” someone asked.The captain's expression darkened as he replied with the utmost seriousness, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't! Don't say I didn’t warn you. If what happened today leaves this flight, you'll all spend at least five or six years in prison!"A shiver ran through everyone’s spine when they heard this, and they immediately fell silent. All their questions came to a halt.…In a somewhat old and worn-out residential complex in Martial City where the Logan family resided were some plainly-dressed security staff. They were stationed outside the complex, and they guarded Fred's residence all year-round.Inside a room, Fred lay on a chair as he was being fed by his son. His health had deteriorated over time. Even simple movements had become somewhat difficult for him.After finishing a bowl of o
Faye smiled bitterly at what Seth said and replied playfully, "Blame it on my natural beauty."Seth laughed heartily and disembarked from the plane. He could feel Faye’s infatuated faze on his figure as he walked away."He's so handsome. So manly too," she mused."Really? Have you ever experienced it yourself?" teased a woman who was a close friend of Faye’s as she approached her with a mischievous grin. Faye's face immediately turned bright red. She started tickling her friend's armpit. "You despicable woman. How dare you eavesdrop on my conversation? I'll get you for this!""Oh no, I'm sorry! Please spare me," her friend pleaded.The two women tussled playfully, creating a lively scene. It was a shame Seth had not been able to witness it.After leaving the airport, Seth hailed a taxi and headed straight for Fred's residence. He still remembered the residential complex Fred lived in. By the time Seth arrived at the neighborhood where Fred resided, it was already past three in
Deep down, however, they had a glimmer of hope. What if Seth actually succeeded?A few minutes later, Seth withdrew his hand. "Sir, your vital energy has been exhausted, and your core essence is severely damaged. Coupled with the excessive strain from your youth and a lack of rest, you can live for at most three more years if things proceed as normal.”Fred looked surprised by this assessment. Even a highly respected doctor who had practiced medicine for decades had told him the same. This aspect of Seth's medical skill itself was remarkable.The man looked composed. "It doesn't matter. I have long come to terms with my death.”Seth smiled. "Old man, I didn't say you couldn't be treated."Fred's eyes widened in astonishment. Seth grasped Fred's right hand and then transformed his inner energy into dozens of extremely fine hair-thin strands before infusing them into Fred's body.Fred's body was like a dried-up pond at this moment. On the other hand, Seth’s inner energy was like ra
They arrived at Fred's home, which was quite simple and modestly decorated. It was not at all like his status."Please have a seat, young man," Fred said, invigorated. After Seth took a seat, he then personally brewed him some tea. The feeling of being able to do things himself filled him with joy.Once they were both seated, Seth got straight to the point and stated his request. Fred showed his appreciation, saying, "You're quite admirable and straightforward. You do things without hiding anything. That's the true nature of a man."The more Fred looked at Seth, the more he liked him. Seth smiled and said, "You haven't fully recovered yet. I'll stay here for the next five days and nourish your body every day with my inner energy along with the medicine I prescribed. You should be able to fully recover by then."Fred was deeply grateful. "I won't say much more in thanks. Young man, rest assured, I'll make sure you're not treated unfairly."He could not promise any special treatm
