“What else did Grandpa tell you?”Thea tilted her head in an effort to remember and suddenly recalled a fact. “Grandpa said the technique recorded in the Medical Book Volume Two is called Invincible Body Siddhi. Mastering it will make you invulnerable to swords and bullets. However, it needs to be practiced alongside the Medical Book First Volume which will act as a guide.”“Back then, Julianna wasn’t able to pierce through your skin with a knife in Dagon Fountain Villa. You claimed to be wearing clothes made from a special material, but now it's clear to me that you've changed your body's cellular structure with medicine.”Thea felt the shame creep up on her as she recalled past events.After reading the second volume of the medical book, James realized what it was trying to describe was a set of defensive martial arts.However, he had yet to understand how to practice it.His grandfather was a martial arts genius and was highly proficient in the field of medicine too. Since Tho

Madelyn relayed a series of drastic decisions.First, make efforts to resume their research as soon as possible.Second, every other pharmaceutical group apart from Centennial Corporation must be eliminated. Third, only one medical hospital could exist on Medical Street—Universal Hospital.Madelyn gave out her orders with swift determination. The process did not matter to her. All she cared about was achieving the desired end result.“Ms. Gabriel…” Jonathan stood up anxiously.He chose his words carefully so as to not anger her. “James is in Cansington and has established Messiah Corporation. His company has been fiercely competing with Centennial Corporation for market share. It’s going to be an uphill battle to accomplish your goals. James is definitely going to get in our way and interfere with our plans.”“James…” Madelyn murmured pensively.She had never left the Capital before, but she was keenly familiar with James’ name.“Does he think he can stop Centennial with Mess

“P-Prove it…! Hold me tight in your arms!.”James took a deep breath of resignation and wrapped his strong arms around Thea.Thea nestled comfortably into his arms and nuzzled her face into his chest. The two spent the night in this position as it passed silently.The next morning…Thea stirred from her slumber relatively early in the morning.As soon as she woke up, she could sense a warm hand clasping her breast. Her face turned hot and her senses were immediately slapped wide awake. She sheepishly tried to move away, but was trapped in James’ tight embrace. As she found herself unable to move or escape her predicament, she could only stare at the ceiling in a bewildered daze.Soon after, James also woke up.Feeling the sensation of something in his hand, he reflexively gave it a firm squeeze.“Ah…”He heard a surprised gasp from beside him.“What are you doing, James? That hurts.”James eyes immediately snapped open when he realized the situation he was in. In his flus

Thea realized that Celestial, Longevity, and other large groups' declaration about leaving the industry caused a series of chain reactions that in turn affected the Callahans’ company, Eternality. Thea and James did not linger a second longer and left posthaste.Soon, they arrived at Callahans’ villa.It was early in the morning, but almost all Callahans’ family members were gathered in the villa. The air was thick with worry and uncertainty.Thea and James hurriedly walked over to them.The Callahans quickly grasped at their lifeline.“Thea, you’re finally back!”“Thea, the Callahans need you to take charge and save us from this situation.”The Callahans stepped forward and began bombarding Thea with their desperate pleas and demands.Meanwhile, James was completely ignored.Thea asked, “Grandpa, is it true that Celestial, Longevity, and other major groups have announced their withdrawal from Cansington and the pharmaceutical industry? Did you call me me because the Callaha

After thinking about it for a while, Thea said, “Don’t worry about it for the time being. Eternality should continue its operations as usual. I doubt Centennial Corporation will cause a storm big enough to overthrow all of us in Cansington.”James looked at Thea in surprise. Thea had definitely grown leaps and bounds. Compared to before, she was much more decisive and showed a firm resolve.Suddenly, Lex’s phone rang forebodingly.He answered the phone, and his wrinkled face turned ashen.Thea grasped at his sleeve in concern. “What happened, grandpa?”“Things have escalated on Medical Street.”“What?!” Thea’s face hardened.“What exactly has happened?” she asked after giving a moment to Lex to compose himself.Lex took a deep breath and explained, “Universal Hospital has stirred up trouble again. They’re kicking clinics and hospitals out of Medical Street. They proposed matches with well-known clinics and hospitals, and the loser would have to close down. Those who rejected

“There’s been a change of plans, Thea. I’m not going to Medical Street anymore.”James suddenly turned to Thea.“Huh?”Thea was blindsided by his sudden announcement and asked, “Why not?”James vaguely replied, “I’ve got some other things to do. Pull the car over.”The car stopped immediately.James opened the door and quickly got out of the car.Thea followed him out, saying, “Then I won’t go there either. I’ll come with you.”She knew that James had called Maxine and had come up with a plan to handle the Centennial’s head-on attacks.She felt her heart pang bitterly.She was James’ wife, but James did not even bother discussing what to do with her. Instead, he called another woman for help. It made her chest squirm painfully.“You need to head to Medical Street and assess the situation. You won’t be of help to me in my affairs.”“Alright…” Thea yielded.Thea was painfully aware that despite everything, she was still incapable of helping him in a lot of aspects and was de

“Okay.” Scarlett nodded obediently.Then, she asked, “By the way, have you found Quincy? I’m swamped with the company’s affairs. If she doesn’t come back to head the overall situation, I’m afraid it might be too much for me to handle alone.”Scarlett had no confidence that she could handle the situation properly.Business was not her strong suit, and it was starting to be too much for her to manage.Hearing this, James knit his brows as a complicated expression flickered over his face.After a momentary silence, he replied, “I’ll try my best to find her.”Thea was the only clue he had to find Quincy.If he was correct, Thea knew Quincy’s whereabouts but refused to tell him because she was worried about him looking at another woman.“Are there any other things you need me to handle? If not, I’ll go ahead and hold the meeting first.”“No, it’s fine. You may leave.” James waved her away.Suddenly, he remembered something and stopped her. “Wait! Don’t hold the meeting just yet. I

The unexpected call exasperated Jay.He had toiled relentlessly for decades and used his money to build an underground intelligence network.Yet now, he was using it to help James run errands without even seeing a single penny.“I’ll update you tomorrow,” Jay replied reluctantly.“Tomorrow’s too late. I’ll give you half a day,” James demanded coldly.Jay grimaced and contemplated for a moment. Investigating a company’s employees would not be difficult. It was not too hard to complete it in half a day.“I’ll do my best to give you a result by tonight.“James, it costs money if I’m to inquire about information. Every piece of information is bought with money…”“Are you asking me for money?”“Throw me a bone, won’t you? It’s starting to be hard for me to maintain operations.”“Fine. Put it on my tab for now and will settle it at a later date.” James hung up the phone.Scarlett waited until James hung up the phone. Then, she asked, “What do we do now, James?”James tented his h
