Gladys approached him with her hands on her hips, saying, “Be honest, or don’t ever think about setting foot in this house again.”James looked resigned. “Mom, it was nothing. The police made a mistake. If I had done something wrong, do you think they’d release me after just one night?”“Are you sure?” Gladys still had her reservations.She was terrified when she saw what happened yesterday.Confidently, James said, “I promise everything’s okay. Also, a lot is going on at Medical Street today. Do you want to come, mom?”“I’ll pass.”How could she be interested after this?So much had happened recently, and David was still in the hospital.“Come in and we’ll talk about it.” Thea pulled James into the house and shut the door behind him.James entered and sat on the couch. He looked at Benjamin. “Dad, do you want to go?”Benjamin was intrigued.Rumor had it this particular medical conference was even more happening than usual. There were many famous doctors in attendance, inclu

Thea had difficulty speaking.Looking at Thea’s expression, Gladys knew something must have happened last night. Immediately, she ordered, “Spit it out.”Thea came clean.She told them everything that happened at dinner last night.However, after the Watsons and Xenoses appeared, Xara led her away. She did not know what happened after that.Everyone turned to look at James again after that.Was he telling the truth? Did he actually beat the Watsons and Xenoses into submission?Looking at how confused everyone was, James decided to make things easier for them. They would never believe him anyway.“Alright, here’s what happened. A person named Zane Dawn helped.”“Zane Dawn?”Everyone was confused. Who was he?“What?”Lex seemed to come to a realization. “Zane Dawn? Zane from the north, the one everyone calls the Mining King?”“Yes, yes, yes,” James said. “That’s the one.”Lex glanced at James. “Zane is very important in the north. The Dawns are very influential. Even the Fi

Whoever they were, James was surprised at how blatant they were.This was not the border of the Southern Plains. This was a developed, peaceful city.Looking in the mirror, he studied the situation.The rocket launcher was aimed straight at his car.He was slightly worried.If they fired, he could probably avoid the shot, but there would still be several injuries and fatalities since there were so many cars on the road.However, his concern was for naught.They never fired.“What are they doing?”He was confused.He weaved in and out of traffic, turning onto the highway. Then, he started to head toward the suburbs.He was driving a Volkswagen that cost only above twenty thousand dollars. The car was already going at 200 kilometers per hour while the engine was going at seven thousand revolutions. “James, what are you doing? You’re driving too fast! Stop!”Thea was pale as she was thrown from left to right. She was jostled so much she was feeling nauseous.Looking in the

James had discarded his shirt. His body was full of silver needles. Some of them had blue droplets on them.“James, what’s going on?”James removed the needles on his chest and arms, smiling at Thea. “D-don’t worry. I’m fine.”Thea’s expression was stony. “Do you take me for a fool? Who were those people? What did they give you?”“I have no idea.”James looked serious.He did not know who they were.He did not know what they had given him either.He had spit most of it out and used the needles to draw the remains out, but a small amount had entered his bloodstream. He started to feel his body seizing up a little.“Really?” Thea did not believe him.“Darling, I really don’t know.”“T-then, how are you feeling? You don’t look so good. Should we go to the hospital?” Thea noticed James looking worse than usual. She was worried, so she went to him and helped him up.James waved his hand. “Don’t worry. I’ll lose my sense of smell and my movements might be restricted, that’s all.

James found it unlikely.Jonathan Harris was just a doctor. Goryeo was one of the twenty-eight countries, but it was a small country. It was impossible that he could mastermind the battle at Mount Thunder Pass.Or maybe it was not Jonathan at all.Maybe the true mastermind was someone else.James shook his head to clear his thoughts.He closed his eyes and got some rest.Thea drove carefully.Soon, they reached the city and arrived at Medical Street.The medical conference was just starting. As Medical Street was full of pedestrians, no cars were allowed.The parking lots nearby were full, so Thea could only park at a parking lot further away. They took a cab to Medical Street.The street was full of people.Thea grabbed onto James. He walked slowly, as if carved from wood.“Honey, are you sure you’re alright? Should we go to the hospital?”Thea looked at James. Even his face had started to go stiff and expressionless. She was extremely worried.James moved his lips. “No,

Inside the hospital, James sat down.“Thea, take my shirt off.”“Okay.”Thea obeyed.“And my pants.”“What?”Thea was stunned, and she blushed. “Honey, what are you doing?”“Just do it.”“Alright then.”Thea removed James’ pants. He was only in his underwear.“Get the silver needles ready.”“Okay.”Thea quickly prepared the silver needles.The Callahans walked in, looking with confusion at the nearly-naked James.Tommy mocked him. “James, you piece of trash. What are you doing now?”James ignored Tommy.Soon, Thea returned with the silver needles. “Here are the silver needles, honey.”James asked, “Thea, do you remember the book I showed you on meridians and acupuncture points? Do you still remember how the points are distributed?”“No, not really.”“Can you please get the book?”Thea did not know what James was planning to do, but Eternality Hospital had plenty of books like that. Quickly, she tried to locate one of them.After that, she brought it to James.“Now

Hearing what James said, the Callahans mocked him.Howard’s wife, Jolie, said sarcastically, “James, aren’t you overestimating yourself? Did you think you’re a genius doctor just because you have some medical knowledge? There are millions of doctors in Cansington. Any one of them is better than you.”“Exactly,” Tommy agreed. “You’re good for nothing except boasting.”James did not argue with them.The Callahans had never seen eye to eye with him. They mocked him at every opportunity.He had gotten used to it, so there was no point in arguing.Thea asked, “Honey, could you help Eternality rise from the ashes?”“What has Eternality got to do with me?” James said carelessly. “I want Pacific, no, Century, to make its mark at the medical conference this time.”“Bullsh*t.”“James, let’s see how you manage to help Century.”“The factory lots and offices have been shut down. What else can you do?”The Callahans started their sarcastic remarks again.“Thea, let’s take a look at Cent

This was the first time in twenty years.“Trevor.”Lex leaned on his cane as he approached. He looked resigned. “We fought over our family assets all those years ago. It’s been so long, and we are both at the end of our lives. Could we let this go?”Trevor and his family looked at Lex.What was he trying to play at?“Hey, what’s the expression all about?” Tommy asked arrogantly. He pointed at Trevor and his family, shouting, “Didn’t you hear what my grandfather said?”“Tommy, shut your mouth,” Lex ordered.“Yes, grandfather.” Tommy did as he said.Lex looked at a dejected Trevor and sighed. “After all this, I’ve finally come to my senses. Why don’t we let bygones be bygones? We’re family. We don’t have to keep doing this.”As she heard Lex say that, Thea was overjoyed.Happily, she said, “Grandfather, I’m so happy you could let things go. Now we can live together in harmony as a family once more!”“What family?” Larry’s son Quinton said unhappily.When the Callahans were ri
