The Ex-Con Who Conquered the World novel Chapter 15

The woman inside the car fell silent for a moment, then smiled, "No hurry. We'll have our chance to meet. Our approach was indeed rather abrupt. Considering he just helped me win twenty million tonight, one way or another, I must get to know him."

Stefan returned to the Stewart Mansion.

By this time, most people in the mansion were asleep, including Chuck's family in the West Compound Villa.

Stefan went back to his room and took a shower.

After his shower, instead of lying down to sleep, he sat cross-legged on the bed. He began circulating the Indestructible Martial Scripture, mobilizing the true essence, allowing it to flow through his limbs and skeleton.

With his spiritual sense turned inward, he observed his nine martial meridians brimming with true energy, coursing throughout his body.

These nine meridians surrounded and protected the central True Dragon Meridian.

As thread-like wisps of the Profound Cold Earth Vein's energy from beneath the Stewart Mansion seeped into his body, the outline of the True Dragon Meridian gradually became more distinct, resembling a proud, rising dragon ready to soar into the heavens.

"Once I awaken the True Dragon Meridian, my Meridian Opening realm will be complete, and I can begin to impact the Body Forging realm."

Stefan thought to himself, filled with anticipation.

Meridian Opening, Body Forging, Energy Core Forging.

These were the first three realms of a martial cultivator.

For now, Stefan remained a First Realm cultivator.

The North Compound Villa housed the second branch of the Stewart family.

In one of the North Compound rooms, a lamp still burned, and low, sinister voices could be heard.

"Sara has woken up. Weren't you the one boasting about your flawless methods and airtight plan? It seems you were full of hot air! If you're this incapable, our partnership ends here."

"Hehehe... Someone actually managed to neutralize my Cold-Toxic Energy? Don't be hasty. Once I finish matters here, I'll head to River City myself to see who dared disrupt my plans."

"You'd better think of something else. I won't tolerate any changes to my plans."

"Rest assured. This time, I'll take action personally. There will be no mistakes."

Two days later.

During these two days, Stefan mostly stayed in his room, quietly adjusting his physical and mental state in preparation for awakening the True Dragon Meridian.
