"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
The way they looked at Seth made it seem like they were regarding a monster. It took quite some time for both father and daughter to come back to their senses.Hannah shook her head, a gentle smile appearing on her face. "I'm older than you, so I'll call you Sethy. Stay for dinner tonight. I won’t take no for an answer."Without giving Seth a chance to respond, she picked up the food items from the ground, closed the door, and then hurried to the kitchen.Fred was a swift and decisive man. Now that he had recovered and heard Seth's concerns, he immediately stood up. He said, "You stay here for a moment. I'll go and give Nicholas a piece of my mind right now. He won't dare to play any tricks on you."Seth nodded. "Thank you."Shortly after Fred left, a bodyguard returned with the herbs Seth needed. Herbs in hand, Seth went to the kitchen to teach Hannah how to prepare the medicine.Hannah was in the middle of cutting vegetables when she suddenly let out a painful scream. She dropp
"Alright, the meeting ends here. You may all leave now," Nicholas announced in the meeting room. He now occupied the position that used to belong to Fred. Many proposals that Fred had initially rejected were now getting approved under Nicholas' authority.Fred's son, Henry, was infuriated. However, he knew he could not contest Nicholas' power with his own. He had no choice but to endure it all silently. Nicholas could not help but feel triumphant when he saw Fred's angry expression. He now held almost all power within the organization. He believed himself to be the ruler of Martial City, and anyone who dared to oppose him would face dire consequences.However, just as he was feeling triumphant, the door suddenly swung open. Everyone turned their gaze toward the door with expressions of disbelief. Nicholas, in particular, had stood up from his seat. A wide range of emotions reflected on his face. Everyone watched in astonishment as Fred walked in, standing tall and healthy with no
The man replied, “Let’s set that aside for now. Please gather your colleagues and go to Starnight's construction site now. I suspect they're cutting corners and using subpar materials.""Alright, we'll head over there immediately."He gathered many high-ranking officials from Jonesville and proceeded to the construction site. Seven or eight cars drove there in a grand procession, accompanied by several policemen who were clearing the way ahead.Soon, they arrived outside the construction site. The man got out of the car with a stern expression and looked at the site's entrance. There was a cruel smile on his face. He was about to step inside when his phone rang. He picked it up, and when he saw that it was a call from Nicholas, his expression immediately changed. He answered the call with the utmost humility. "Mr. Zigger, what are your orders?"Nicholas' voice sounded urgent from the other end of the call as he replied, "Where are you now?""I'm at the entrance of the constructi
