All Chapters of The True Dragon's Comeback: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"You can keep liquor that long? Doesn't it expire or something?" Archer asked, pretending to be completely clueless.The server smiled patiently. "Whiskey and wine actually get better with age. They don't go bad like other drinks."Eugene, standing nearby, was doing everything he could not to burst out laughing. The mockery in his eyes was practically glowing.Howard and Marianne didn't look too happy, either."Oh, I see." Archer nodded like he had just received an epiphany. "Then… Do you have any eighty-year-old whiskey?"The server hesitated for a second, then nodded. "Yes, but the price is a bit…"Archer waved him off. "No worries. Eugene's the real deal, a true rich kid. A bottle of booze is nothing to him."Eugene's face stiffened as he suddenly realized what Archer was getting at. He was about to say something, but Archer cut him off."I've never tried 80-year-old whiskey before. Bring us two bottles."The server nodded and quietly left the room.Archer heard someone gr

Eugene wanted to see if all this would move Juliette, but when he saw her calm expression, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed."Thank you," Howard said again while raising his glass. Then he sighed. "You're such a fine young man... If only you were my son-in-law."Marianne shot him a disapproving glare.Eugene was secretly pleased, though on the surface he put on a regretful smile. "Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. If I had come back earlier, maybe Juliette wouldn't have…"He trailed off mid-sentence and downed a large gulp of whiskey, his eyes filled with just the right amount of heartbreak.Even though he didn't finish the sentence, everyone could tell exactly what he was trying to say.Howard's eyes lit up, as if something clicked in his mind. "Don't give up. Life is unpredictable. Who knows what could happen down the line?"The words had barely left his mouth when he felt Marianne's icy stare on him. Still, Howard pretended not to notice and kept drinking.Juli

Over half an hour later, Archer and the others returned to the Jensons' villa.As soon as they walked through the door, Howard exploded. "You useless punk! Get over here!"Archer dropped onto the couch, casually crossing his legs. "What's wrong, Dad? Didn't get enough to drink tonight?"Howard froze for a second, then got even more pissed. "You know exactly what you did! Don't play dumb!""I had dinner. What else did I do?" Archer replied, still playing innocent.Seeing his clueless act made Howard even angrier. "Who told you to order such expensive liquor? Do you have any idea how badly that could've offended someone? Eugene's dad is a board member at the Josenburg Chamber of Commerce! Do you think we can afford to piss people like them off? You're useless enough as it is, and you're causing trouble instead of helping the family!"Sure, he had enjoyed the taste of that eighty-year-old whiskey, but the thought of possibly offending Eugene sent rage bubbling back up.His fury

Crack!A sharp pain burst through the old man's chest as a terrifying force sent him flying.With a loud thud, he slammed into the ground in the distance. Blood sprayed from his mouth the moment he landed.Archer strode toward him, eyes cold. "Who are you? Why did you place a parasitic curse on Mrs. Barlow?"The old man struggled to get up, but Archer's punch had been too powerful. His internal organs were already shattered. Each attempt to move only made things worse. After a few tries, he coughed up another mouthful of blood, his face quickly turning pale and lifeless."A Meridian Unlocking Grandmaster? That's impossible... Who the hell are you?"The old man stared at Archer, shocked. To injure him that badly with a single punch, Archer had to be at least a third-stage Meridian Unlocking Grandmaster.But he looked barely over 20! How could someone that young have reached that level? It was unbelievable.What the old man didn't know was that Archer had actually held back. If A

Altogether, the herbs on the list were easily worth hundreds of thousands.The shop assistant's eyes lit up when he realized Archer was a major customer."Please wait a moment, sir. I'll need to check with the manager."With that, the assistant headed upstairs, and Archer sat down to wait.It wasn't long before the assistant came back down with an older man whose hair was streaked with white."This is the gentleman I mentioned," the assistant said, pointing to Archer.The older man looked surprised to see someone so young."Sir, are you sure you want all of these herbs?" he asked, stepping forward to confirm.Archer nodded slightly. "Give me five sets."The manager's eyes widened again—five full sets would cost millions!"Alright. Please hold on a moment," the man said.Seeing that Archer wasn't joking, the manager didn't waste time. He quickly went to prepare the order.Soon, five complete sets of herbs were neatly packed."Everything's ready. Please check."Archer inspe
