Sten said, "There was a war 20 years ago. Hacniane calls it the Battle of the Sky, and in Saffronesia, it's known as the Battle of the Dome. I fought in that war."Matilda was taken aback. "Twenty years ago? A war? I was only three or four years old then. Why are you telling me this?"Sten smiled. "During that war, two of my comrades remained in the sky..."Matilda was confused but continued to listen politely."They left behind these relics," Sten said, opening an old digital camera. He flipped through the photos on the small screen, showing images of a couple with their daughter.As Matilda saw the photos, she felt a vague sense of familiarity, as if some long-forgotten memories were resurfacing. The child in the pictures looked strikingly like her."During the war, the couple often looked at these photos," Sten said.Matilda, entranced by the photos, asked, "What happened to them?"Sten replied, "The war was brutal, with many casualties every day. One day, I returned from th

Marilyn started coughing.She did not expect Chad to ask about the jade pendant. She had yet to swallow the tea she was drinking, and in her excitement, she choked on it."The jade pendant? It's just something I bought from a street vendor for fun. It's not worth anything!"Marilyn tucked the pendant back into her clothes, hoping to brush the matter aside.However, Chad extended his hand. Marilyn could not think of a reason to refuse him.Unbeknownst to her, Chad had already activated his Clairvoyant Eye. To his surprise, he could not see through the quality of the pendant with it."It's just a regular trinket from a street vendor—"Reluctantly, Marilyn took it out from under her clothes and stretched her neck, bringing the pendant to Chad's face.Chad looked at Marilyn's comical expression and grabbed the pendant. The moment he touched it, the glow on his hand changed color, startling him into letting go.Marilyn quickly pulled it back."I told you it's just an ordinary pend

The funding gap alone was over a billion, but if Chad could fill that gap, Mystic Pavilion would be operational. Once Mystic Pavilion was up and running, Chad's three-year plan could be implemented! That meant that even if Matilda did not divorce Chad, he would soon propose a divorce anyway.Stanley's eyes gleamed with excitement as he said, "If I mortgaged all the Bellenuite Group shares I have, I should be able to cash out 20 billion. But—"Stanley was still worried. Considering the cost of using a loan, having so much cash on hand was not necessarily a good thing."Don't worry, you can give it to me. I need this money."Stanley thought he had misheard Chad, but when he saw Chad's determined look, he asked, "Dr. Jennings, aren't you uninterested in money?""I'm not interested in money, but the Mystic Group needs it!"Stanley became excited. "The Mystic Group? Say no more; I'll invest 50 billion!"However, Chad said, "No shares, only dividends, so think it through."Stanley fe

On Temple Road, large machinery had been used to repair the road after its demolition, transforming it into a temporary runway capable of accommodating large aircraft.By noon, important figures like Bloomington's governor Zach Jovy and Rivervale's governor Tori Hart had arrived. They chose the Hall of Herbs as their gathering point, remaining silent as they waited.Around two o'clock in the afternoon, after all the heavy machinery had been removed from Temple Road, three loud booms were heard in the sky.The sound, often referred to as a sky quake, was familiar. However, it was different then. After that, a dense formation of aircraft suddenly appeared over Bloomington.At the head of the formation was a large transport plane, followed by a series of fighter jets.When Chad saw the formation, he noticed many people in military uniforms had gathered outside Temple Road. He surprisingly spotted Logan, dressed in a military uniform, standing quietly among the soldiers, wearing six m

"I don't know the side effects of this thing, but its effect is to regenerate your physical body. I want to give it to you!" Chad said, offering a small jade bottle.The officer was initially stunned, then smiled dismissively. "This is the Elixir of Perception, isn't it? Honestly, my body was already restored by the Elixir of Perception. It's useless to me now."Chad was taken aback. The officer patted his shoulder. "The firmament has more than just the Elixir of Perception. There are many things, like the Tri-Life Stone, that can split one's soul into three parts. There are countless strange things there."He looked out the window, noting the Yggdrasil tree in the Hall of Herbs' backyard. "That tree behind your shop is Yggdrasil, right? I saw a Yggdrasil in the firmament that supposedly reaches over a thousand kilometers high!"Chad smiled and asked, "We've talked so much, but I still don't know your name.""Warrior sage, David Yeager," the officer replied."Warrior sage!"
