Chapter 952
“What else did Grandpa tell you?”
Thea tilted her head in an effort to remember and suddenly recalled a fact. “Grandpa said the
technique recorded in the Medical Book Volume Two is called Invincible Body Siddhi. Mastering it will
make you invulnerable to swords and bullets. However, it needs to be practiced alongside the Medical
Book First Volume which will act as a guide.”
“Back then, Julianna wasn’t able to pierce through your skin with a knife in Dagon Fountain Villa. You
claimed to be wearing clothes made from a special material, but now it's clear to me that you've
changed your body's cellular structure with medicine.”
Thea felt the shame creep up on her as she recalled past events.
After reading the second volume of the medical book, James realized what it was trying to describe
was a set of defensive martial arts.
However, he had yet to understand how to practice it.
His grandfather was a martial arts genius and was highly proficient in the field of medicine too. Since
Thomas had read the contents of the book, it stood to reason that he must have also explained it to
Thea.
Thea chuckled and continued. “Grandpa said there is one crucial key to mastering this set of martial
techniques, and that is to regulate the entire body’s meridians to allow True Energy to flow throughout
the body, forming a protective layer on the body’s surface. This creates an indestructible wall of energy
that is impervious to swords and bullets.”
She did not know much about it and in the end, could only relay what Thomas had told her.
James listened attentively.
After reviewing what Thea had told him, he carefully went through the book once again to attempt to
understand the intricacies of the technique.
He fully immersed himself in the medical book’s contents.
Thea waited for him in bed, but even after a long while had passed, James continued to stay awake
reading.
She yawned sleepily. “Honey, that’s enough reading for today. Let’s go to sleep, and you can continue
tomorrow morning.”
James set down his book and turned to look at Thea when she interrupted him. She was lying in bed.
Her body was covered in a blanket, exposing only her head.
He shook his head slightly and refused her quietly, “You can sleep first. I’ll stay up a while more.”novelbin
“Mmmm… Come here, Honey.” Thea stretched her arms and hooked her fingers around his wrist. She
smiled lasciviously as she invited him to bed.
James smiled faintly in response.
He was not at all moved by her actions, so he simply ignored her. He continued to bury his head into
reading the medical book.
When she saw that her advances had no effect on him, she stopped trying to seduce him and turned
around to sleep.
Meanwhile, in a meeting room on Centennial Corporation’s top floor…
The meeting room was packed with people.
Jonathan, Lucas, Reign, and Professor C were among the people present.
Several other people sat inside with them.
Standing in front of the room was a girl who looked to be in her late teens.
She was none other than Madelyn, Mr. Gabriel’s confidant.
She had already changed into a tight, black leather suit. Her young age was in stark contrast to her
mature and curvy figure.
Her long black hair draped elegantly on her shoulders.
Her beautiful features were drawn into a cold expression, giving her an aloof and unapproachable air.
Everyone in the meeting room had their eyes on Madelyn.
The room was silent save for the sound of her nails, rhythmically clicking on the surface of the table.
Madelyn suddenly stopped moving her fingers and turned to Professor C. “You go first, Professor C.”
After being prompted, Professor C quickly replied, “Prior to his demise, the Emperor had activated the
self-destruct system to dispose of the evidence of our research. Our research facilities established over
the years were completely destroyed. Fortunately, I managed to recover our research materials and
findings despite efforts to bury them. However, the country is on high alert right now. Without the Red
Flame Army covering for us, it’ll be impossible to continue research unnoticed as we did before.”
Madelyn responded stonily, “Then move everything abroad. No matter what it takes, the research must
resume as soon as possible. A substantial breakthrough has to be achieved as quickly as we can.”
“Also…”
Madelyn glared at Jonathan and Lucas. Then, she turned back to the rest of the people present.
“Within three days, I want all the medical clinics and hospitals on Medical Street gone. From now
onward, only Universal Hospital will exist there.
“At the same time, take over and acquire all the pharmaceutical groups in Cansington. I want
Centennial Corporation to be the only pharmaceutical group in Sol. As for the process, do whatever it
takes. Understood?”
She stared ruthlessly at the people in the conference room.
“Understood,” Everyone replied in unison.
