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
Her questions left Hannah absolutely puzzled. Even Seth did not know how to respond. "Young man, don't be shy. Tell me. I'm very open-minded. I’ll agree to your relationship as long as you're honest and not idling your life away," Hannah's mother continued. "You don't need to earn a lot of money. After my husband and I retire, we’ll have a substantial amount of monthly pension, so you won't need to support us in the future."She kept going, "Hannah is now working an important position, so she has pretty good income too. As long as both of you work hard, you’ll be able to live a good life.”Hannah covered her face with her hands, feeling extremely embarrassed. Her mother's interpretation of her reaction made it even worse.Seth found himself saddled in an awkward situation. He had to clarify himself, "Madam you've got it all wrong. I met Miss Logan for the first time today. I’m here to treat the governor.”Hannah’s mother paused, then replied, "What illness? Oh, by the way, wher
Henry was 45 years old this year and 15 years older than his sister. When this stalwart man returned home and saw Seth, he went up to him and greeted him with a sincere and respectful bow. “Thank you, Mr. Yeager, for saving my father's life. I will never forget this favor. If you ever need my assistance in the future, you have my word that you can count on me as long as it doesn't violate the country's laws,” he said. Seth waved his hand. "You're too kind. I had my own motives for saving Mr. Logan.”Henry maintained a serious expression as he replied, "I won't argue with you about that. Regardless, you are our benefactor, and I will remember this debt.”Seth shook his head, choosing not to dwell on the matter any further.Henry's mother rushed out when she heard voices. When she saw the remarkable transformation in Fred's condition, she immediately embraced him, not caring at all for the numerous people present."Old man, you being well again is truly wonderful. You're not allo
