Jet Xu had only been knocked unconscious and forced to take sleeping pills. Physically, he wasn’t in serious condition, though no one knew when he would wake up.

As Ares untied the ropes around Jet Xu’s wrists, angry red welts came into view.

The deep marks showed just how desperately he’d struggled the night before.

“Do you know who did this?” he asked.

Still holding the inventory ledger, Iris nodded. “I have a pretty good idea. It was his other disciple.”

Ares looked surprised. “Your mentor had another student besides you?”

She nodded. “He rarely accepted apprentices. He only ever took two final disciples.”

“One was me. The other was Steven. He’s back for revenge.”

Years ago, Jet Xu had expelled Steven after discovering that his character was deeply flawed.

But Steven had convinced himself that Jet Xu favored Iris–that he’d saved all the best teachings and resources for her, and even cast him aside just to clear the path for her future.

Knowing how much Jet Xu treasured these medicinal herbs, he had simply brought people here and cleaned the place out.

“I just don’t know how he found this place…” She paused before her gaze turned cold. “Forget it. Once we catch him, we’ll have our answers.”

If Steven had chosen to make the first move…

Waiting around wasn’t her style.

Bzzzz…

A loud, rhythmic thumping overhead interrupted her thoughts. She frowned. Why would there be a sound like that deep in the mountains?

Walking to the window, she opened it and looked up. A private helicopter was descending slowly toward the roof of the villa.

“Mr. Barclay! Are you in there?”

Ares stepped beside her and made a quick hand signal toward the helicopter before lowering

his voice to explain.

“My leg isn’t in any condition for hiking out, and Mr. Xu is unconscious. This is the fastest way to leave.”

The mountain roads were nearly impassable after the storm.

Trying to carry both an injured man and an unconscious patient down the mountain could easily lead to another accident.

Iris understood immediately.

What surprised her was that he’d come to exactly the same conclusion she had.

It had been a long time since she’d met someone who could keep up with the way she thought.

“Mr. Barclay? Should we… uh… give you two some privacy?”

Julian climbed down from the roof with one of his men. The moment he reached the bedroom door, he froze.

Ares was still standing by the window where he’d been signaling the helicopter.

The only difference was…

He now had Iris wrapped securely in his arms.

‘Great. We’re interrupting them again.”

“Wait.”

After taking a few steps away, Julian suddenly stopped.

Why was Miss Iris here?

Wasn’t she supposed to be at that cosmetics company?

From the mountain to the airport, Julian kept sneaking glances at her but couldn’t bring himself to ask what had happened.

He had no idea what went on up in the mountains.

All he knew was that the relationship between the two of them seemed to have improved again.

So when the private jet finally landed safely at Capital City, he hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

“Should I arrange somewhere else for Mr. Xu to stay?”

After a moment’s thought, Iris shook her head. “No. Take him to Marcus.”

Jet Xu wasn’t in immediate danger. But there was another matter that couldn’t wait any longer.

Grandma Evelyn’s illness.

After settling Jet Xu at Marcus’s place, Iris headed straight to the research institute without wasting a second.

She gathered her most trusted assistants and shut themselves inside the laboratory.

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

Today was the final day.

Over the last three days, Grandma Evelyn’s condition had steadily worsened.

The color had drained from her face, and her life seemed to be slipping away before everyone’s

eyes.

Every member of the Young Family remained by her bedside, unable to leave.

“Today’s the last day. Do you really think that girl from the Noir family is going to show up the medicine?”

“What if she couldn’t develop it and already fled the country?”

“If that’s the case, Richard Noir will be humiliated beyond repair!”
