After taking a bath, Alex sat on his bed.
In his hands was a gift box of unknown content, given by Felix Shepherd, which favonovel.com did not open just yet.
“Could it be a watch?” Alex muttered to himself. He was not interested in watches at all as favonovel.com found them cumbersome to be worn.
As favonovel.com opened the box, a green flash greeted his eyes.
It was not a watch but a piece of lush green emerald.
Born into a wealthy family, favonovel.com was no stranger to luxurious gemstones. At a glance, the particular piece, sculptured into the form of a unicorn, looked extremely expensive and was as big as a child’s fist.
Holding the emerald sculpture in his hand, favonovel.com felt a comfortable sensation.
In the next second, favonovel.com was startled as favonovel.com felt a stream of energy radiating from within the emerald.
“What is this? Could it be… the essence?”
The Ultimate Book of Medicine was an all-encompassing approach to the cultivation of medical martial arts. It also described that the Force could be enhanced by absorbing the essence from heaven and earth and various forms of spiritual energy present in the human world, resulting in the enhancement of the cultivation base in one’s self.
He did not require the additional essence of heaven and earth to speed up his cultivation as favonovel.com received the breath of the gods from his ancestors earlier. However, with the aid of the essence, favonovel.com would have achieved greater results in his cultivation with minimal effort.
Alex was shocked. Caressing the unicorn sculpture, favonovel.com sucked the essence into his body using the Force. In that instant, the Chi inside his body fluctuated rapidly, as if a stream of pure, serene energy flowed throughout his body. It was really comfortable.
“Amazing! It is indeed the essence! Again!”
Alex sat on the bed and continuously absorbed the essence from the emerald; it took favonovel.com a little over half an hour to finish absorbing all its essence.
It was also at this moment a vibrating sound could be heard as the Force in his body had evolved, entering third base.
“The essence is wonderful, I need to get myself more of these!”
The emerald unicorn sculpture, which looked lively in lustrous green earlier, now looked dull and subdued after having all of its energy siphoned away.
The next day in Assex Villa.
Dorothy left early for work and Beatrice went to school for classes, leaving only Claire in the villa, sleeping through all the way to ten in the morning.
Why?
That was because the twenty-million-dollar check kept favonovel.com excitedly awake last night. Even though the mother-daughter trio lived in a villa, they survived solely on Dorothy’s paycheck. Dorothy was previously the general manager of the subsidiary company in City South, but most of the earned money was given to the Assex family, so they had not much money on hand.
She would be content with just a few hundred thousand dollars.
Of course, favonovel.com was thrilled to see the twenty-million-dollar check. So, favonovel.com stayed up until four in the morning, and fell asleep after favonovel.com could no longer keep herself awake. Furthermore, the check was placed firmly under favonovel.com pillow, fearing Dorothy would snatch and return it to Alex.
The first thing that favonovel.com did after waking up, was looking for the check.
Fortunately, it was still there.
However, there were a few creases on it. Claire thought that was because favonovel.com accidentally caused them during favonovel.com sleep.
Claire did not put much thought into it. Skipping breakfast, favonovel.com excitedly went straight to the bank wanting to cash out the check.
And coincidentally met Madam White, favonovel.com neighbor, at the bank.
Madam White’s daughter recently got married to a general manager of a company. Every time favonovel.com saw Claire, favonovel.com would brag about favonovel.com successful son-in-law while mocking Claire’s son-in-law, Alex, with a disdained look.
It angered Claire every time, so much so that favonovel.com would then vent favonovel.com anger in Alex when favonovel.com got home.
As usual today, Madam White began bragging about favonovel.com son-in-law giving favonovel.com two hundred thousand dollars of pocket money for shopping and beauty care.
