As the chaos of Temple Road broke out, Chad was at the Hall of Herbs, utterly unaware of what was happening.At the time, Chad was practicing alchemy in a secret chamber beneath the Hall of Herbs.He used meditation to unlock his body's potential, increasing the temperature just enough to refine the medicinal ingredients in the furnace.It was an extremely difficult task!After all, he could not raise his hands' temperature too much. Instead, he had to use his hands to sense the furnace and integrate it into his body for it to reach a specific high temperature.Chad's hands held the Divine Ware furnace, and smoke curled within it as the ingredients dissolved.Upon closer inspection, the furnace was already glowing red like a heated iron.However, there was no change outside of the furnace. There were even water droplets that had condensed on top.Chad had not performed alchemy in ten years, and he appeared to be struggling.Chad's body was also covered in layers of blackish-br

The Hall of Herbs was home to six old men at the time—the Hart family's father and son duo, the Pulmano brothers from Tatum Supreme Group, Toby, and Darren, who had always stayed there.Miles was already in his 50s, but the King of the Entertainment Industry kept himself in good shape and looked to be in his 30s, so he could not be considered old.However, Esther was concerned that the Hall of Herbs was rapidly becoming a nursing home.When she heard the shouting outside, she got up and went to the door, saying, "Young man, what's your business with Chad?"Morgan bowed respectfully and said, "My mother has a strange illness, and she has seen various famous doctors for over two years, but she hasn't gotten any better. I wanted to ask Chad for help."Esther looked at Morgan's mother, who was thin and middle-aged.Morgan's mother was wrapped up tightly, as if she was afraid of the cold, even though it was not particularly cold."Come in for now!"Esther let them in without thinkin

"Morgan, what are you doing here?" Chad was surprised to see his high school friend in the Hall of Herbs.Morgan asked hesitantly, "Chad, I know you are skilled in medicine. Can you help my mother?""Oh, this young man and his mother have been here for a day. His mother's illness is complicated." Esther looked at Chad with concern as she explained Morgan's mother's condition."She was locked?" Chad looked at Morgan's mother in disbelief, completely shocked.Esther voiced her suspicions: "Yes! It is indeed a locking. I haven't seen one in more than 20 years."Morgan looked puzzled as he glanced at his mother and asked, "What is locking? Is it that serious?"Chad nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's incredibly serious. Locking is a rare and vicious technique that is extremely difficult to deal with."Archibald walked out of his room at that point, stunned, and said, "There are still people who know how to do locking nowadays?"Chad did not recognize Archibald. Who was that old man

In the car, Ayo listened quietly as Shuten explained.Lumigen Pharmaceutical came to Hacniane two years prior and chose the Hawthorne family of Shotham as their partner.However, just as the cooperation was about to be finalized, Ryan Chase appeared, putting all of Lumigen's efforts to waste.Jouzen was in charge of the negotiations at the time, and after they failed, he secretly found Ryan's wife to retaliate.Jouzen had intended to wait for a while before pressuring Ryan to agree to the collaboration between Lumigen Pharmaceutical and the Hawthorne family on the pretext of his wife's illness. Still, no one expected Jouzen to die in a car accident the next day.Shuten looked extremely serious when he mentioned the car accident. "That car accident was very suspicious, with many points of doubt, but the police concluded that it was just an ordinary accident. The case was settled with money."Ayo was deep in thought. She had gone to Hacniane to undertake a mission from Saffronesia'

Even though Chad was aware of Temple Road's demolition, he had no idea that Bellenuite and Lumigen were behind it.So, when confronted with Matilda's angry rebuke, Chad maintained his innocence. "When did I ever oppose you?"Chad's denial enraged Matilda even more.Meanwhile, Justin became particularly hostile when he saw Chad.Justin felt he had nearly exposed Chad during the auction.Nonetheless, he was kicked out of the venue and chastised by his family's elders.In addition, his family was already dissatisfied with him because of the medical team from Europe.If Matilda had not given him so much money to persuade Kaynes to check up on Clinton, he might have been kicked out of the family."Aren't you targeting Matilda? Weren't you causing trouble when Matilda went to the Hart family for financing? Didn't you cause trouble when Matilda and I went to see Mr. Hawthorne? You caused trouble at Matilda's banquet. And weren't you also causing trouble at the Bellenuite and Lumigen a
