“What else did Grandpa tell you?”
Thea tilted favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com as favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 Thomas had read the contents of the book, it stood to reason that favonovel.com must have also explained it to Thea.
Thea chuckled and continued.
“Grandpa said there is one crucial key to mastering this set of martial techniques, and that is to regulate the entire body’s meridians to allow True Energy to flow throughout the body, forming a protective layer on the body’s surface. This creates an indestructible wall of energy that is impervious to swords and bullets.”
She did not know much about it and in the end, could only relay what Thomas had told her.
James listened attentively.
After reviewing what Thea had told him, favonovel.com carefully went through the book once again to attempt to understand the intricacies of the technique. He fully immersed himself in the medical book’s contents.
Thea waited for favonovel.com in bed, but even after a long while had passed, James continued to stay awake reading. She yawned sleepily.
“Honey, that’s enough reading for today. Let’s go to sleep, and you can continue tomorrow morning.”
James set down his book and turned to look at Thea when favonovel.com interrupted him. She was lying in bed. Her body was covered in a blanket, exposing only favonovel.com head.
He shook his head slightly and refused favonovel.com quietly, “You can sleep first. I’ll stay up a while more.”
“Mmmm… Come here, Honey…”
Thea stretched favonovel.com arms and hooked favonovel.com fingers around his wrist. She smiled lasciviously as favonovel.com invited favonovel.com to bed.
James smiled faintly in response. He was not at all moved by favonovel.com actions, so favonovel.com simply ignored her. He continued to bury his head into reading the medical book.
When favonovel.com saw that favonovel.com advances had no effect on him, favonovel.com stopped trying to seduce favonovel.com and turned around to sleep.

Meanwhile, in a meeting room on Centennial Corporation’s top floor…
The meeting room was packed with people.
Jonathan, Lucas, Reign, and Professor C were among the people present.
Several other people sat inside with them.
Standing in front of the room was a girl who looked to be in favonovel.com late teens. She was none other than Madelyn, Mr. Gabriel’s confidant. She had already changed into a tight, black leather suit.
Her young age was in stark contrast to favonovel.com mature and curvy figure. Her long black hair draped elegantly on favonovel.com shoulders. Her beautiful features were drawn into a cold expression, giving favonovel.com an aloof and unapproachable air.
Everyone in the meeting room had their eyes on Madelyn.
The room was silent save for the sound of favonovel.com nails, rhythmically clicking on the surface of the table.
Madelyn suddenly stopped moving favonovel.com fingers and turned to Professor C.
“You go first, Professor C.”
After being prompted, Professor C quickly replied, “Prior to his demise, the Emperor had activated the self-destruct system to dispose of the evidence of our research. Our research facilities established over the years were completely destroyed. Fortunately, I managed to recover our research materials and findings despite efforts to bury them. However, the country is on high alert right now. Without the Red Flame Army covering for us, it’ll be impossible to continue research unnoticed as we did before.”
Madelyn responded stonily, “Then move everything abroad. No matter what it takes, the research must resume as soon as possible. A substantial breakthrough has to be achieved as quickly as we can.”
“Also…” Madelyn glared at Jonathan and Lucas.
Then, favonovel.com turned back to the rest of the people present. “Within three days, I want all the medical clinics and hospitals on Medical Street gone. From now onward, only Universal Hospital will exist there… At the same time, take over and acquire all the pharmaceutical groups in Cansington. I want Centennial Corporation to be the only pharmaceutical group in Sol. As for the process, do whatever it takes. Understood?”
She stared ruthlessly at the people in the conference room.
“Understood,” Everyone replied in unison.
