Chapter 1 Take My Blood

"Ms. Solberg, stop the transfusion! He's dying!""Keep going! Zeke's operation is more important than this! Take his blood!"An urgent blood transfusion was going on in Silverton Hospital. A trio of unbelievably gorgeous women was standing around, worried.These women used to be infatuated with Evan Norwood, and one of them was his newly-wed wife, yet they were standing around another man, worried and panicked for him.He was already shivering from the transfusion, yet they ignored him. The air was freezing cold, yet the biting frigidity in his heart burned deeper.The three women who mattered to him most were risking his life and taking his blood for another man."Hazel, you need to stop this! Evan's going to die! I can still hold on!" The man looked at Evan, worried, but then he started coughing violently.The women were terrified. They quickly said, "Ignore him, Zeke! Your condition takes priority. We will save you no matter what!"Evan tilted his head, and he met Zeke Carte

Chapter 2 The Expression

'That look again,' Evan thought. Every time the heiresses scolded him, Zeke would always show him that sneer.He kept framing Evan just to make the heiresses hate him and punish him. At first, he thought Zeke was just trying to get him kicked out, but now he realized Zeke wanted to kill him.He tried to explain it to the heiresses, but it was hopeless. They did not believe him. They loved Zeke, so everything he did was right. They had no love for Evan, so everything he did was wrong.When Zeke stood back up, a dragon-shaped pendant fell from him. That got everyone's attention. Evan, however, breathed heavily. "That's the engagement gift I gave Hazel! Why do you have it?"That was his only and most valuable possession. It was already hanging around his neck when he was taken in that night. He gave it to Hazel when they got engaged.Zeke went and picked up the pendant, and he gave Evan a look of mockery. "Sorry, Evan. I had no idea this was yours. I saw Hazel wearing it, and I thoug

Chapter 3 The New Woman

A pair of men in black followed the woman closely, holding umbrellas over her head.Sylvie Stanton looked at the knocked-out Evan, worried sick. "Oh no, what have I done? Do you think he's still alive?"She was five-foot-seven and radiated an air of regality. Even a frown looked like something straight out of a perfect drama.One of the bodyguards said hurriedly, "We don't have time to deal with this, Ms. Stanton. Old Mr. Stanton's getting worse. He’s dying!"Sylvie said nothing, but the panic on her face was oozing. Her lips were pale. "But he…" She was still worried about him. After all, she did crash into Evan."Nothing we can do about it. No one could've expected this. No one could've reacted in time with how heavy the rain is.""Yeah, Ms. Stanton. Old Mr. Stanton is more important. We'll just give this guy some money. It'll be fine!"Both bodyguards chimed in agreement. To them, this was nothing money couldn't fix, and the person who was hit was of no real consequence.The

Chapter 4 Waking Up

Evan was in a mysterious white space. An old stranger just handed Evan his legacy in full. The information crashed into Evan's mind like the waves of the sea. Eventually, the waves condensed into three simple words. They read, 'Ninefold Arcane Arts.'The Ninefold Arcane Arts had everything from geomancy and martial arts to medicine, formations, and mystic arts. He tried to use it a little, and energy was starting to fill his battered body."It's actually working!" He was delighted. A sliver of energy popped up in his elixir field, and it was like a dragon flying in the skies. Even his senses were sharpened. It was that pendant. The pendant Hazel gave away, like it meant nothing, gave him the biggest opportunity he'd ever seen in his life.He thought, 'Fate wants me to survive!'…A long, long time later, he opened his eyes, and the first thing to meet them was an unbelievably gorgeous woman staring right at him.Evan sat up faster than he'd ever moved in his life. "Where am I

Chapter 5 Shocking Answer

The answer shocked Sylvie and her bodyguards. The bodyguards looked at Evan like they could not believe him.Sylvie then remembered that Evan did say he had no family or partner. The money the heiresses spent to save him came from Hazel's parents. He thought this wasn't a big thing for the heiresses, and they'd forgotten about it.However, to his surprise, Anya remembered it, and she brought it up on purpose. That hit him where it hurt most. The millions saved his life, and he must repay them. He must repay his foster parents' favor. This was his answer to Anya."I know it's not cheap, Ms. Stanton, but I can heal you," added Evan earnestly.The bodyguards snickered. "Talk is cheap. Why don't you prove it? Loads of famous doctors tried and failed to heal Ms. Stanton. What can a lad like you do?"No one thought he could do it.Sylvie said, "Okay, you have a deal.""What?" They did not see this coming. She took out a diamond-encrusted black card. "Here's 150 million. PIN's si

Chapter 6 The New Backer

Neil listened quietly as the couple argued, and then he looked around. He saw Evan standing nearby and gasped, "Mr. Evan!""E-Evan's here?" The gasp hit the couple like a lightning bolt.Stefan and Cynthia turned around in horror, as if a ghost was standing right behind them. "Y-You're back!" They looked at Evan."Hey, Dad. Hey, Mom." Evan stepped ahead with a smile.The smile only made Cynthia stiff. "You heard everything?"He shook his head. "It doesn't matter anymore. I'm here to say goodbye.""Goodbye?"Cynthia and Stefan's hearts shook. They had a bad feeling about what was to come. She forced a smile. "What are you talking about? I know it's been unfair to you, and I can help. I promise this won't happen a—""It's alright. This is my last day of being your son. After today, we're no longer a family." Evan took out a sheet of paper and a black card, both of which he handed to the couple.Cynthia took the items, and the first thing she saw was the Formal Notice of Estran

Chapter 7 A New Evan

Evan laughed. "Do you have any idea how big Silveraberg is?"Even the Norwoods, the family that abandoned him, were an important part of Silverton, yet they were nothing more than a speck of dust in Silveraberg. The Solberg family was a big one, yet not even they could control the whole of Silveraberg.Silveraberg was on par with Uppersea, and maybe even Imperia. A single person having enough power to grant him immunity in Silveraberg? Preposterous.The bodyguard shook his head and grinned. "No, and I don't have to."Evan noticed he stood taller the moment he said that. That was pride that came from within. If a bodyguard had that much pride, then his employer must have even more of that."Very well," said Evan. "But there's one more thing I must do before I go.""But I thought you cut your family off already." The bodyguard was surprised.Evan said nothing. Instead, he told the bodyguard to drive him to the mall. Then, he watched Evan walk into a barber shop. "What are we doing

Chapter 8 He Comes

"But it’s been 20 minutes! No way that kind of guy exists! No one can resurrect the dead!"…The people in the ER were displeased. Even Caleb Stone could not save the Iron Dragon, and he was hailed as the Best Doctor in Silverton. The people grumbled, asking why they took the Iron Dragon here instead of Providence Hospital. That was the best one around.Sylvie was facing a lot of pressure. Not even the healers from Imperia Golden Healing Chamber could do anything about it, and they were sent by the Dragon Protectors.The military was already prepared to give the Iron Dragon a grand funeral, yet Sylvie claimed she knew someone who could raise him from the dead. Of course they were shocked.A bodyguard came rushing in. "Mr. Norwood is here, Ms. Stanton!"Everyone turned around, their eyes resting on Evan. William and the others were bemused. Even Sylvie was stunned for a moment. 'Is that really him?' she thought.He was in a suit last time they met, and he sported the most pop

Chapter 9 Sylvie's Demand

Yet now Sylvie claimed that she was cured. Sylvie argued, "We can let him try. It won't take a lot of time."Aria said nothing. Instead, she approached Evan and sized him up. She was fiddling with a knife, swirling it around like it was a toy.…A long while later, she pulled her gaze away. Tartly, she said, "I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, for Ms. Stanton's sake. Resurrect the Iron Dragon, and I'll be in your debt. Fail, and I'll kill you!"Evan felt cold steel scrape across his throat. The swirling knife touched his skin, and the chill spread through his body. He stepped back without thinking.Worried, Sylvie asked, "Are you sure you can do this?""I'll give it a shot," Evan replied. "But I need the place to be completely quiet."Everyone thought he just wanted to chase everyone out.William was looking at Evan as if he was already dead. "Don't push your luck, lad! Do you have any idea what will happen to you if you fail?"He was desecrating the Iron Dragon's remains

Chapter 10 The Iron Fist

"What in the world are you doing? I'm an investor in this hospital. Do you dare try to throw us out?"Seeing the bodyguards approach, Hazel stood her ground, her gaze unflinching as she projected the powerful aura of a formidable businesswoman."That's right, miss. While I don't know who you are, I can tell you that every single person in this room is far above your pay grade!"Zeke puffed up his chest, emboldened by the knowledge that Hazel was one of the hospital's investors. He showed no fear.In a surprisingly gallant move, he even shielded Hazel and the other two heiresses behind him. "Don't worry, Hazel, I'll protect you! With me here, they won't be able to lay a finger on you!"Roxanne and Anya glared at Sylvie and her entourage, their expressions hostile. "No matter who you are, leave now! Or we're calling the police!"The families of these three heiresses were powerful, and within Silverton, they were practically the local royalty.They did not believe anyone would actu
