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, Matthew said quietly, “I’m taking care of Natalie—”
“Don’t try that with me. I don’t care about her and I want you to return right now at this very minute!”
she yelled into the phone. “Also, get a car ande pick us up. Sasha is returning today, so we’re
going to the airport!”
“I—” Even before Matthew could respond, Helen had already hung up on him. A trace of anger shed
across his face as he thought about how the Cunninghams had always ordered him around as they
wished without any regard for his feelings. In that instant, he had the urge to call her back and refuse to
do what he was told, but after a moment’s consideration, he decided to go ahead with her request.
To Matthew, the attitude that the Cunninghams disyed was not important. He was more interested in
finding out what Sasha was really up to! Besides that, he also needed to ascertain whether she really
did cheat in their marriage!
As he was about to leave, he ran into Joseph who wasing toward his direction. “Good morning, Mr.
Larson!” Looking radiant and all smiles, Joseph had given one of the mini Rejuvenating Pills to his
boss, Stanley Carlson the night before.
Stanley’s background was of a lower rank and he had fought his way up the ranks, sustaining many
injuries along the way. Now that he was old, his old sickness often recurred which caused him
unbearable pain. However, after taking a mini Rejuvenating Pill, the old injuries which had troubled him
for years actually healed within a night.
Because of this, Stanley was especially excited and didn’t think twice about asking for another pill from
Joseph, as he wanted to present it to his major financial supporters. When he found out that Joseph
could produce more of these pills in the future, his excitement grew. As a result, he decided to transfer
fifteen percent of shares from Carlson Pharmacy to Joseph. With that, Joseph was now the second
biggest shareholder of Carlson Pharmacy.
As a sharp and meticulous person, Stanley knew very well that Joseph’s status would rise now that he
could develop these pills. When that time came, many would want to keep Joseph for themselves. No
matter how much money he offered, Stanley believed that somehow, someone else would be able to
top his deal. Having said that, things would be different if he had offered Joseph shares, which would
bind Joseph tightly to Carlson Pharmacy without him leaving.
Carlson Pharmacy could be found all over Eastcliff, monopolizing half of the medicinal herbs business
there, which was worth tens of billions. With fifteen percent of equity, it was worth as least a few billion.
In addition, with the production of the mini Rejuvenating Pills, the worth would only increase! Now, with
the admiration and gratitude that Joseph had for Matthew, he would even bow slightly when he stood in
front of Matthew to show his respect.
“Good morning!” Matthew greeted. “Mr. Harrison, may I trouble you for a few things?” he asked
suddenly.
Hearing that, Joseph beamed. “Mr. Larson, please don’t stand on ceremony with me. Just let me know
if you need anything!” To Joseph, it was his honor that Matthew was actually seeking his help!
“My sister needs to rest quietly for some time. Is it possible for her to stay here and could you please
help me to take care of her?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Larson!” he readily agreed. “I’ll be here personally to watch over the ce. Also, I’ll
hire the best medical staff to look after Miss Natalie!”
“Thank you, Mr. Harrison!” Matthew nodded as he made a mental note of his kindness.
Joseph smiled brightly. “This is what I should do.”
“Since it has been decided, then I’ll leave everything to you.” Matthew stopped suddenly when he
reached the entrance. “That’s right, Mr. Harrison. Do you know of any car rental services around here?”
“Car rental?” Joseph was puzzled as he asked the next instant, “What type of car would you like to rent
and why do you need one?”
“I’m going to pick up somebody from the airport.”
“How many seaters do you need?”
“Just a normal sedan would be sufficient.”
“There’s no need to rent one, then!” Joseph chuckled. “I have a car which I don’t normally drive. You
can use it, Mr. Larson,” he offered, and had already gestured for his driver to drive the car over before
he even finished speaking.
Stepping out of the pharmacy, a ck sedan, which had a rather peculiar logo—like two M’s stacked
together, slowly rolled up to him. The chassis was much longer than the regr sedans and even
longer than the BMW 7 Series that he had seen before, which made the car appear expensive and
elegant. There was nothing special with the number te, but a small logo was on the windshield. It
looked like some sort of entry-exit permit, though Matthew had no idea what it was.
With a faintugh, Joseph told him, “Mr. Larson, I bought this car a couple of years ago but haven’t

driven it yet. You can use it for now.”
Even though Matthew didn’t recognize the vehicle, he knew that it must be an expensive one. With
Joseph’s status, there was no way he would drive just an ordinary car. Despite that, Matthew didn’t turn
down Joseph’s offer because he was in need of a car right now. Moreover, the prescription he gave
Joseph was worth more than hundreds of this sedan! “Thank you again, Mr. Harrison!”
“You’re most wee, Mr. Larson,” he replied, waving his hands in a fluster.
Matthew gave him a nod as he drove off.
