Chapter 1

Ding dong!At the sound of the doorbell, Benedict hastily wiped his hands on his apron and hurried out of the kitchen. Opening the main door, he said with a bright smile, "Chelsea, you're back so early today…"He stopped mid-sentence.The woman standing outside the door was not his beautiful wife Chelsea, but her secretary, Landy Ferguson."Ms. Ferguson, what brings you here?" Benedict invited Landy into the house."Mr. Quinn, I came here to talk to you on Ms. Yarwood's behalf." Landy looked calmly, almost coldly, at Benedict as she sat down on the couch and pulled out two documents from her briefcase.Benedict looked down at the contents of the document, and his face froze.They were divorce papers!The parties involved were indicated clearly on the document: Benedict Quinn and Chelsea Yarwood."Ms. Ferguson, what's the meaning of this?" Benedict asked, his voice solemn."Mr. Quinn, we're all adults. You should know clearly what this means. Ms. Yarwood has already signed

Chapter 2

At the gate of Azure Garden District, Benedict turned around for one last look. Mixed feelings filled his heart.He had thought that he would spend the rest of his life with Chelsea, but ended up divorced instead.A while later, a black luxury car stopped right in front of Benedict. It was worth millions, and the sleek lines and swanky design threw the car into the center of everyone's attention.After the car ground to a halt, a stunning beauty with a figure to die for stepped out. She was very tall, perhaps over five feet and seven inches. She wore a red windbreaker and skintight jeans, paired with black heels that made her look like a queen with a commanding aura.There was, however, a hint of anxiety in her eyes. The moment she stepped out of the car, she dialed a number on her phone and looked around her.Just then, Benedict's phone rang.The woman turned to look at him as she put her phone away. She hurried over to Benedict and asked, "Are you Dr. Drake?"Benedict nodded.

Chapter 3

Faye's doubts in Benedict's skill were absolved, and her attitude took a 180-degree change.She said respectfully, "Dr. Drake, please forgive me for my insolence. Please take a look at my husband!"Benedict nodded. He pulled out a red sandalwood case from his bag, which he opened to reveal rows upon rows of needles of different sizes. He walked toward the bedside and unbuttoned Derrick's shirt, then swiftly inserted many needles across Derrick's body.As he did so, he explained to Faye and Victoria, "Every living human has a soul. Once that soul is lost, one will lose consciousness. According to mainstream medicine, Derrick is categorized as being brain dead, but his condition is in fact due to his soul being lost."Based on what I can tell, he was probably frightened by something two days ago. His soul is weak and vulnerable and may dissipate if away from the physical body for too long. I'm trying to call his soul back to his body through needle therapy…"In the blink of an eye

Victoria glanced at Benedict and checked that he wasn't intending to stop her from speaking.So, she went on, "The Eye of the Dragon resurrects the dead and saves the injured in exchange for a favor instead of monetary gain. Mr. Webber told me that once Dr. Drake steps in, our family will owe him a favor for saving your life. No matter the help he needs in the future, we must do our best for him, or else…"Derrick asked, "Or else, what?"Victoria forced a smile on her face and said with feigned casualness, "Or else, Mr. Webber will bankrupt us overnight.""What?! Did Chad really say that?" Derrick exclaimed, jumping out of bed in shock.Victoria nodded.Derrick looked in Benedict's direction, shock and doubt in his eyes. The thoughts in his mind shifted.As one of Chad's good friends, Derrick naturally knew what Chad was capable of and how frightening he could be. His level of respect and admiration for this young man was sufficient to tell Derrick how frightening and intimidati

Chapter 5

The ones who recognized Benedict were Chelsea's mother, Felicia West, and sister, Wendy Yarwood. The two were out shopping for clothes and came to Riverside Piazza for a meal using Chelsea's card. They didn't expect to bump into Benedict here. They were still clueless about Chelsea and Benedict's divorce. Fire burned in Felicia's chest when she saw Benedict together with a beautiful lady with an excellent figure. She stood up, ready to teach him a lesson."Mom, wait!" Wendy held Felicia back and said in hushed tones, "You need evidence to catch them in the act. What if he denies it when you accuse him of having an affair?""So what should we do? He looks so honest and down-to-earth, I didn't expect him to be so shameless. He's blessed to be your sister's husband, but he doesn't treasure her and fools around behind her back. I can't believe this!" Felicia snapped. Wendy said, "Don't panic. We'll watch him closely and take photos of him being intimate with this woman. Then, we'll

Benedict's eyes shifted as he turned to look at the elderly man.He could sense a frightening and intensely wicked aura emanating from this man.Though this elderly man was fair and plump, with a kindly expression like Santa Claus, he was in fact a power-hungry warlord with blood on his hands. He exuded a menacing, murderous aura.Benedict was slightly taken aback, but it didn't bother him much. He had seen his fair share of monstrous demons far more intimidating than this man. He had also beaten up quite a few of them, too."I could tell from this dish." Benedict pointed at the dish before him, The Ocean's Embrace—the wild seabass."From this dish?"The elderly man was holding prayer beads, which he then put behind his back. He leaned forward and drew close to the dish, but couldn't tell that anything was off.He said doubtfully, "Is there something wrong with this dish? I can't see anything.""We're talking about the spiritual world. Not just anyone has the eyes to see." Bene

Chapter 7

Charlie hissed in pain. His anger dissipated, leaving behind only fear and reverence."Scram," Benedict commanded coldly as he released the fork."You embarrassing idiot! You're dismissed!" Gavin reprimanded Charlie, clearly displeased.Charlie grabbed the wound on his arm and nodded. He turned to leave, still sweating buckets from the pain and fear.After Charlie left, Gavin smiled apologetically at Benedict and said, "Pardon me for not keeping my subordinates in check. Young man, not only are you well-versed in geomancy, but you're also an expert in martial arts."Benedict shook his head. "That's nothing much. Is there anything else?"It was a clear hint telling Gavin not to bother him unless there was something important. Gavin bade farewell without any hesitation. "Nothing else. I shan't bother you two anymore. Please enjoy the meal."After leaving with Kenny and the rest in tow, Gavin stood at a corner not far away and pondered his options. Then, he pulled out a golden ca

Chapter 8

Master Jacobson's full name was Cecil Jacobson. He was considered rather religious, but compared to those who chose a lifestyle of asceticism and quiet meditation in isolation, he was more passionate about giving geomancy advice to the wealthy across the world.The kitchen deity he mentioned earlier was indeed nonsense he made up in the spur of the moment, a mere excuse to seek a handsome reward from Gavin.In reality, there were frightening malevolent spirits in the kitchen. These spirits were most probably the cause of the neck pain the kitchen crew experienced. Cecil burning the amulets and waving his sword around had effectively driven away half of the spirits. He thought was enough to solve the problem.He didn't know that Benedict had seen through his every thought and action. If Cecil were just an incompetent geomancy master here to fleece Gavin of some money, Benedict wouldn't have exposed him or done so in such a punitive manner. The thing was, the malevolent spirits

Chapter 9

Gavin and the rest could feel goosebumps rising on their arms. They shrank back in fear.Benedict nodded. "Exactly. Solving this problem is easy. Just adjust the layout of Riverside Piazza and drive out all the malevolent spirits here, and this won't happen again."Cecil finally recovered from his shock. He crawled up from the ground and asked humbly, "How should we adjust the layout here?"Benedict looked at him and said with a half-smile, "Master Jacobson, you're a powerful master in your own right. You should know the answer to that."Cecil's face flushed with embarrassment. He said with shame, "Mr. Drake, please don't tease me. Having met you today, I realized how unlearned and half-baked a so-called master I am. I've woken up from my stupor. I'll go back and focus on quiet meditation and honing my skills instead of giving geomancy advice to others."Seeing Cecil being so humble and willing to learn, Benedict decided to stop mocking him. "Let me give you some tips, then."Wit
