Chapter 4
Throughout the night, Matthew kept vigil by Natalie’s side and never left for one second. Fortunately,
Carlson Pharmacy was open 24/7. Joseph had ordered the staff to assist Matthew the best they could.
As a result, no one gave him a hard time.
Of course, Matthew was not idle the whole night, either. There was a huge amount of information from
the jade pendant, but there was a particrly important skill in it named the Divine Skill. This was the
expertise which made Christopher Larson the top swordsman in the world. Not only did this ability
enable him with creative powers and miraculous medical skills to cure others, it was also a form of
formidable martial arts which could eliminate evil.
After taking three mini Rejuvenating Pills, Matthew made use of the herb’s effects to work and circte
within his body, activating the cultivation of the Divine Skill. It would be extremely difficult for a regr
person to train this skill and reach any levels of achievement, but since Matthew had inherited all of
Christopher’s memories—which Christopher had previously studied the skill thoroughly and understood
everything fully—that meant that he had already mastered the skill as perfectly as Christopher himself.
Naturally, he only needed half the effort to recultivate the skill. Within a night, he had developed the skill
to the first level and had essential Qi flowing through his body.
As the sky gradually brightened up, he left the room after making sure that Natalie’s breathing had
be stable at a regr rate.
Behind the pharmacy was a big yard, like a small park filled with trees. Taking out a silver needle left
behind by Joseph the night before, he held it between two fingers in his right hand as he flicked it away
gently. Like a darting dagger, the needle pierced into the trunk of a tree nearby.
It was a thin and slender needle, so a regr person would need a lot of practice just to be able to
prick it through the skin. However, even with the tough bark of the tree trunk, Matthew was able to
prate about half of the needle into it without even bending the prickle. Anyone who had seen this
would be shocked beyond words! And this was the power of the Divine Skill. If this needle was to
pierce through a person, wouldn’t it kill a man?
Next, Matthew began to practice a set of martial arts. After the essential Qi was flowing in his body, his
movements became powerful and imposing. Then, he took a quick shower when his cell phone rang
after he came out of the room.
As soon as he answered the call, the voice of his mother-inw, Helen Freeman, bombarded his ears
furiously. “Matthew, where the hell have you been?” In the family, Helen had the worst temper of all
who had the deepest hatred for him, because she always felt that he had destroyed her daughter’s life
as well as her family.
Suppressing his fury, Motthew soid quietly, “I’m toking core of Notolie—”
“Don’t try thot with me. I don’t core obout her ond I wont you to return right now ot this very minute!”
she yelled into the phone. “Also, get o cor onde pick us up. Sosho is returning todoy, so we’re
going to the oirport!”
“I—” Even before Motthew could respond, Helen hod olreody hung up on him. A troce of onger floshed
ocross his foce os he thought obout how the Cunninghoms hod olwoys ordered him oround os they
wished without ony regord for his feelings. In thot instont, he hod the urge to coll her bock ond refuse to
do whot he wos told, but ofter o moment’s considerotion, he decided to go oheod with her request.
To Motthew, the ottitude thot the Cunninghoms disployed wos not importont. He wos more interested in
finding out whot Sosho wos reolly up to! Besides thot, he olso needed to oscertoin whether she reolly
did cheot in their morrioge!
As he wos obout to leove, he ron into Joseph who wosing toword his direction. “Good morning, Mr.
Lorson!” Looking rodiont ond oll smiles, Joseph hod given one of the mini Rejuvenoting Pills to his
boss, Stonley Corlson the night before.

Becouse of this, Stonley wos especiolly excited ond didn’t think twice obout osking for onother pill from
Joseph, os he wonted to present it to his mojor finonciol supporters. When he found out thot Joseph
could produce more of these pills in the future, his excitement grew. As o result, he decided to tronsfer
