The private room was bright, and Elio felt his head spin at the sight. He was married, sure, but he had never been in a situation like this before!"Remember, a doctor's got to care like a parent. Keep it together; no silly thoughts!" Elio told himself, trying to focus. He wasn't his usual calm self and said with a shaky voice, "Go ahead and lie down; I'm going to start the healing now."Yarely's face turned even redder, and with a soft "Okay," she lay down. She whispered, "Don't be shy. I'm just a patient, and you're the doctor. Just stay calm. You're in charge of what happens next.""I got it." Elio nodded seriously. He opened his instruments case on the coffee table, picked out the silver instruments, and carefully put them near Yarely's heart.In the blink of an eye, the healing was done. The seven silver instruments quivered ever so slightly, tickling Yarely. She wanted to scratch but managed to hold back.Elio knew better than to stare at things he should not, so he quickly

The man looked at Elio with scorn. "I'm Thiago. You probably haven't heard of me, you nobody."Elio's face tensed up. He thought of the scary people from the stories and asked, "Are you Thiago, one of the Twelve Evil Spirits?"Thiago was caught off guard and huffed, "Not bad, kid. You know who I am. Looks like you're part of the martial world too."The world of warriors had always been around for thousands of years. It never went away; it just went underground!There were many fierce characters in the world of warriors, like the dreaded Twelve Evil Spirits. They would do anything for money, committing terrible acts. Nobody knew their real names, but everyone knew their scary nicknames.Elio's eyebrows knitted together. He knew how tough his enemy was. In a serious voice, he asked, "You must be working for someone. Who's the one in charge?""The boss said to pay 1.5 million dollars for your arm. After I cut it off, I'd tell you who you've upset. However, this job is a piece of cak

Now, Elio found himself at the Orchid Harmony Club, in a private room and alone with Yarely. The awkwardness of being alone with a woman weighed on him.Noticing Elio's blush, Yarely teased him, "Come on, why so bashful? It's not like it's your first time alone with a woman. You've been married for three years!""This is different," Elio said with a sigh. Evelyn was his wife, after all."Just think of me as your sister, and you won't have any weird thoughts," Yarely suggested as she lounged on the couch, giving him a playful look. "What are you waiting for? Come on, it's bedtime."Elio gasped, his cheeks turning pink. ‘This is all happening so fast. Sister Rong doesn't seem like someone who would... Why is she doing this? I can't do anything that would hurt Evelyn.’Yarely laughed softly. "Silly, what's on your mind? Always thinking about silly things. Let's not be silly, okay? The couch is big enough; you stay on your side, and I'll stay on mine, and we won't bother each other."

The assembly of street leaders simmered angrily, subdued amusement evident among them. Fat Mantis, renowned for his deceitful and brutal nature, had deceived too many in the past. Now, it seemed, he had met his match.Why else would he summon Third Master Chance for support? The others were not there to be manipulated; they were merely observers, curious about the unfolding events.Outside the Leisure Tower, a convoy of vehicles led by a black Hummer arrived and parked at the curb. Doors flung open simultaneously, and a group of impeccably dressed men emerged, exuding an air of formidable professionalism that outmatched the onlookers. Their aura was commanding.Elio and Sam disembarked from the Hummer, surrounded by their security detail, and made their way toward the building. The sight of the assembled multitude of burly men awaiting them took them aback.At the entrance stood a middle-aged man with a ghastly scar running from forehead to mouth, robbing him of one eye and lending

All eyes fixated on Elio and Wystan as they braced for confrontation, the tension in the room palpable.A cough from the rear interrupted the charged atmosphere, heralding the arrival of Third Master Chance, leaning on his ornate cane. Instantly, the cacophony ceased, all attention shifting to him.Assisting him were two striking women. Jeanette, Tiger's wife and proprietor of the Grand Emperor Bar, exuded glamour in a form-fitting dress. On the other side walked Alicia, tall and regal in a black gown reminiscent of a snow queen, the owner of Jade Dojo and Third Master Chance's youngest daughter.Upon spotting Third Master Chance, Elio felt a surge of pressure. He knew Jeanette well—greedy and spiteful, she was someone he loved to loathe.His surprise was evident when he saw Alicia, the same woman who had zoomed past him in a Porsche, gestured rudely, and nearly administered CPR after their sparring match at the dojo.Alicia was just as stunned. That was the guy who had faked bein
