"Sign this divorce agreement and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Amelia tomorrow."
Denzel Lu raised his head and saw his mother-in-law, Jane Zhang, throwing two sheets of paper in front of him with disgust.
A beautiful woman with a pale face stood behind her.
She was Denzel's wife, Amelia Mo.
Everyone in Jiang City knew about her.
She was blessed with outstanding beauty, but her marriage was inferior and lowly.
Everyone in Jiang City knew that she married a good for nothing guy.
Seeing that Amelia was cold as ice, Denzel's heart ached. His hands trembled as he picked up the divorce papers.
Finally, the day was arriving.
When Amelia saw Denzel picking up the agreement, her expression darkened and she turned her face away.
She had given up on her husband, who had been protecting her for the past ten years.
"Denzel, I still remember!"
"Ten years ago, on a snowy night....."
"You were dressed in rags and held a wooden stick in your hand. You didn't know me but in order to protect me, you were bitten
by stray dogs all over your body, still, you refused to retreat."
"Using the stick as a sword, you became my knight in shining armor!"
"From then on, I began to admire you."
"You are a hero in my heart".
"I still remember your courage. What about you?"
"Over the past few years, you have lost all your enthusiasm and courage..."
"Look at yourself now. You speak softly every day. You even refused to retaliate whenever I hit or scolded you. Are you still a man?"
"I really don't want to see you like this..."
"I have been waiting for you for ten years, but you have also let me down for ten years."
"If only you had taken a stand and objected to these divorce papers today!"
"Then, I would have given myself to you for the rest of my life!"
"Unfortunately, You didn't..."
"You didn't even have the courage to keep your wife."
"Perhaps it'd be better if we just end this here..."
At the thought of this, Amelia could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and turned to leave.
However, Jane looked at Denzel with disgust, feeling extremely satisfied.
Ten years ago, her silly daughter had saved a homeless kid and insisted that he stay at their home. Since then, the kid had been in their home for ten years.
Her daughter even tried her best to get everyone's approval of this boy. Three years ago, She finally got married to him.
The news caused a sensation in the whole of Jiang City.
The Mo Family, which was revered by many because of Amelia's beauty, had become the laughing stock due to this matter. Since then, the family had been unable to recover from it.
The goddess of the city had married a poor worthless guy.
The joke had been circulating in Jiang City for three years.
Now, her daughter finally understood.
As long as her daughter divorced this guy, she would be able to start a new life in Jiang City with her incomparable appearance.
Alfred Gao, who had been pursuing Amelia for a long time, seemed to be a good candidate. His family is rich and powerful. Recently, the Mo family had also asked for help from the Gao family.
Hehe...
"Sign it! My daughter is going on a date with Alfred Gao tomorrow." Jane cursed at Denzel's unmoving figure.
Denzel sighed and put away the divorce agreement. He said coldly, "Just give me a moment, I was making a soup for Amelia."
Jane looked disdainfully at Denzel. Over the past ten years, this guy had always put on a sour face, as he didn't take the Mo family seriously at all.
Only Amelia could make him smile.
"Who do you think you are!"
"You better sign it!"
Jane urged again and left the kitchen.
After they left, Denzel suddenly smile bitterly, and his eyes were filled with tears.
He looked at the pot of bubbling soup, and his eyes were burning.
"Amelia, do you know why I don't fight or retaliate all these years..."
"Because you are sick."
"Your body is weak, so you cannot be provoked."
"You would always get sick at the end of the month, and it was unbearable for you
every time."
"So I just couldn't bear to aggravate you even further..."
"If it weren't for the fact that I have added medicinal herbs to this pot of soup every month, you wouldn't have been able to last for more than fifteen years..."
"Just one more year, and you would be completely recovered."
"It is a pity, just one year..."
"Why can't you give me another year?"
"Are you really disappointed in me?"
"My true identity is something you still do not know!"
"Because of that one sentence of yours, because you said that you needed company, I had stayed by your side for ten years!"
At the thought of this, Denzel's heart ached terribly.
But at this time, his cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and frowned slightly.
It was a phone number that had not appeared for ten years.
Was it possible that his family...
"Hello," Denzel answered immediately.
At the other end of the phone came an old and sorrowful voice.
"Young Master, the Old Master had passed away last night..."
His words were like a thunderclap, and Denzel was in shock.
"Grandpa. He has passed away..." Denzel lamented in his heart.
Denzel was born into an aristocratic family with famous medicinal skills. They were the Lu family from the North.
His parents died early. He had been envied and hated by other people in the family because of his talents since he was a child.
His grandfather was the only one who doted upon him.
But in the end, in order to keep him safe for the rest of his life, his grandfather had faked Denzel's death and sent him out of toxic household. He wanted to keep him safe from all the pernicious politics and ulterior motives in the family.
It was also on the first night when he was wandering on the street that he met Amelia, the girl who had made his heart ache for the longest time...
"Young Master, the Old Master has been paying attention to you in silence, all these years. He has also been cultivating power for you. There is also a letter he wants to pass to you. I will pick you up now." The man on the phone said chokingly.
Denzel agreed. After hanging up the phone, he sat directly on the ground.
"The one who often carried me on his shoulder and liked to stab my little face with his stubble..."
"Who sneaked into my room in the middle of the light, taught me medicinal skills, and knocked on my head whenever I fell asleep..."
"Grandpa's gone..."
Denzel did not notice that his face was full of tears.
It was not until thick smoke and a smell of burnt food wafted over that Denzel's attention was roused.
"Oh no, the soup is burnt!"
Denzel quickly got up, but it was too late.
At this time, Jane rushed directly from the outside, covered her nose and shouted,
"F*ck! Are you out of your mind? Are you trying to burn the house down and take revenge on the Mo family?"
"Why is your heart so wicked?"
"Amelia must have been blind to have married you!"
"Sign the divorce agreement now! I can't wait any longer!"
Behind Jane, Amelia's eyes were gloomy, but she didn't speak.
"Denzel, I didn't know you could shed tears too..."
"Are you crying because our fate has come to an end?"
"Unfortunately, It is useless."
"It's been ten years. Do you even understand my feeling and intention?"
"What I need you to shed for me, is not the tears of cowardice and helplessness."
"What I need from you is your courage and willingness to live for me!"
"If you dare to live for me, I will dare to die for you..."
"You don't understand..."
Denzel had started to space out...
The pain of loss and cold words severely stabbed Denzel's heart!
Suddenly, he seemed to have come to a realization!
His gaze suddenly turned sharp.
He raised his head and looked at Jane and Amelia.
One of them looked arrogant and ruthless!
The other was cold as ice. Ten years of tenderness had turned into desperation!
"I do not care about such a family!"
"You'd better not regret it!"
"My grandfather was the only one in the world who loved me and cherished me."
"I do not need your sympathy or pity. From now on, I will walk this path alone!"
Thinking of this, Denzel suddenly stood up, grabbed the divorce papers on the table and signed them!
After signing the papers, he glanced at Amelia again and walked out of the kitchen without looking back!
His glance shocked Amelia.
The look in his eyes...
Cold and arrogant!
He looked like a wounded but stubborn lone wolf!
Watching him leave in big strides, Amelia thought she saw an illusion!
It was as if the indifference in her eyes had shot through his body like arrows, leaving it battered in blood!
It was as if every step he took was filled with pain, Causing him immense grief and hurt.
His gaze, and his figure!
It looked exactly the same as it was ten years ago, when Denzel had rescued her and turned to leave!
But now, It was not his body that was hurt, it was his heart...
Thinking of this, Amelia's tears fell and she rushed towards the door!
When Jane saw Amelia chasing after Denzel in regret, she cursed loudly and chased after her daughter furiously.
At the door, Amelia saw a cold and arrogant Denzel.
He seemed to be waiting for something...
Was he waiting for her to persuade him to stay?
Amelia wanted to approach him, but she suddenly felt disheartened. She retreated after taking a step towards him.
Why should she ask him to stay...
"It would be better to cut off our relationship than to continue hating each other. From now on we will be apart from each other. And we'll finally be happy..." Amelia thought in her heart.
Jane rushed up to them and scolded Denzel, "You are so arrogant! How dare you give us this kind of attitude? For so many years, you ate and drank from ours. Even when our Mo family feeds a dog, it knows how to be grateful! Even when you got married, you couldn't even give us a wedding gift. Did my daughter even say anything then? How dare you put this show in front of me?"
Seeing that her mother still refuse to give up, Amelia hurried up and tried to dissuade her.
However, Jane sneered and said, "Amelia, can't you tell what kind of person he is yet? Do you really think he was going to leave? He is a good-for-nothing without any money. Where can he go? He deliberately pretends to be pitiful to get your sympathy."
"I've seen through him long time ago!"
Amelia couldn't bear to see Denzel being humiliated and yet not retaliate. She choked and said, "Mom, stop it. You know he's penniless. It'd be better for us to part ways amicably. Do you have any money in your pocket? Can you give some to him..."
Jane looked at the quiet Denzel with red eyes, she felt very happy!
"Ten years. After enduring him for ten years, it finally came to an end!"
"I'm going to let this guy starve to death on the street without any money!"
"He ought to know that if it weren't for us and the Mo family, he wouldn't be better than a stray dog on the streets!"
Seeing that Jane had refused to help Denzel for the last time, Amelia sighed and turned back to take the money.
Jane's gaze suddenly turned stern. She quickly pulled Amelia back.
At the end of her sight, a black car slowly appeared.
"Amelia, look, is that a Rolls-Royce Phantom? It's the first time I've seen it.
It's so beautiful!"
"I wonder which rich man is driving it. If you get in the car, it will be a perfect match – a beautiful lady sitting in a luxurious car. You should live this kid of life, do you understand?"
However, Amelia eye's were fixed on Denzel. She didn't even look at the luxurious car.
At the moment, Jane suddenly cried out!
The Rolls-Royce came to a stop in front of their door!
Jane suddenly became excited!
"I know! It must be Alfred who had come to pick you up for a candlelight dinner!"
"I told him today that you were going to divorce this good-for-nothing.
He must be very happy."
"I didn't expect that his family would be so rich. Amelia, your good days are coming!"
Hearing this, Amelia's expression turned ugly.
Her mother was going too far.
Denzel was still here. She had deliberately said these words to embarrass Denzel even more!
Jane snorted when she noticed Amelia's eyes were on Denzel. The she took out a stack of money and gave it directly to Denzel!
"Damn it! I'll just assume that I stepped on sh*t and lost 1,000 yuan!"
"It's better to give the money to beggar than to him!"
"At least the beggar knows how to be grateful!"
"Get out of my way! Do you hear me? My daughter is going to have a date with her new boyfriend."
A driver wearing white gloves stood by the car. He then opened the door and greeted Denzel with a respectful posture.
Seeing this gesture, Jane excitedly pushed Amelia towards the car and urged to hurry.
On the other hand, Denzel's hand was stuffed with a thousand Yuan. He suddenly sneered.
"Money..." He thought to himself.
"Everything in the world is for the sake of money."
"And everyone strives in this world for the sake of money."
"Money is nothing!"
"I have more than enough money!"
"I have power that can conquer the world!"
"It's just that I don't care!"
"All I want is my grandfather, and..."
"To grow old with the person I love..."
Thinking of this, Denzel sneered and suddenly tore the banknotes in his hand!
The ten banknotes were thrown into the air, and the shredded pieces fell slowly onto the ground.
He strode towards the car. When Jane was about to reprimand him, she saw an extremely shocking scene!
The driver bowed respectfully to Denzel.
Denzel opened the door and got into the car without looking back!
Jane Zhang and Amelia Mo were filled with disbelief!
The car was not sent by Alfred Gao to pick Amelia up!
It was here to pick Denzel Lu up instead!
It was the Rolls-Royce Phantom!
A luxury car worth tens of millions!
How could Denzel sit in such a luxury car?
Where did he get the money? Where did he get the connections?
Where did he get the right to do that?
Even though Denzel had married into the Mo family, in reality, his status was even worse than that of the housekeeper and nanny!
Over the past ten years, he isolated himself in the Mo family residence. As such, he didn't have many friends, let alone money.
There was another important reason why Amelia was cruel to Denzel. At the end of each month, Denzel would shamelessly ask for money from her.
But now, he who had no money and status, was chauffeured by a Rolls-Royce!
This!
The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes were full of shock!
Amelia suddenly looked at the torn pieces scattered on the ground, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
Her good-for-nothing husband seemed to be extraordinary!
Denzel was in the car, and his eyes were red.
His grandfather had just passed away, and his most beloved wife was also, at this moment, leaving him.
His world had crumbled that instant. The reality was so ruthless and suffocating.
After a long while, the car finally stopped in front of a villa halfway up the mountain. Denzel looked up and saw a strange-looking Qilin pattern carved on the gate of the Wang family. (The Qilin is a mythical hooved chimerical creature known in Chinese culture which will bring good luck.
Was this a Blood-stained Qilin?
While Denzel was still lost in his thoughts, he suddenly noticed an old man with white hair coming towards him. The old man's eyes were filled with grief. One of his feet was little weak, and he was staggering over to Denzel.
He was one of his grandfather's most trusted subordinates, Harper Wang. He was also a rich man in Jiang city.
Ten years ago, his grandfather had sent Denzel to Jiang city. By chance, Denzel entered the Mo family.
Under Denzel's grandfather's orders, Harper came to Jiang city to secretly protect Denzel.
When Harper saw Denzel, his eyes turned red and his tears immediately fell.
"Young Master, I'm sorry..."
Denzel suppressed his tears and followed the old man into the Villa.
In the room, harper immediately took out a letter and an ancient box. He choked and said, "Young Master, please read this letter first."
When he opened the letter and proceeded to read its first sentence, the tears that he had been holding back immediately fell.
"I'm sorry, Denzel. Grandpa has left, but no matter alive or dead, my heart always aches whenever I see you suffer..."
The letter was very long.
It looked as if he was reminiscing the guilt and helplessness he had been feeling over the past ten years.
After reading it, Denzel's face was already full of tears.
It took a long time before the tears finally stopped.
"Mr. Wang, how did my grandfather die?" Denzel suddenly asked in silence.
At this time, a murderous intent flashed across Harper's eyes. He gnashed his teeth and said, "The Old Master was poisoned to death! The Master of the Lu Family and several elders worked together to break his hands and feet, and then fed him with poison! The Old Master was severely infected and he passed away after crying out in pain for 48 hours!"
Hearing this, Denzel burst into tears again!
His grandfather was a high-skilled doctor!
He didn't expect that his grandfather would suffer such painful humiliation before he died!
Broken hands and feet!
His whole body was severely infected!
For 48 hours!
Thinking of this, Denzel clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails sank into his flesh. He would never forget how his grandfather was tortured to death!
The Lu family!
Harper gritted his teeth and said, "They must have done it for The Scripture of Tranquility."
Denzel's heart skipped a beat.
"The Scripture of Tranquility?"
"Isn't that the legendry medical skill of the Lu family? Why?" Denzel asked.
At this time, Harper looked deeply at Denzel and whispered, sending goosebumps all over his body.
"Your grandfather had completed the second half of The Scripture of Tranquility by chance!"
Denzel suddenly trembled.
So that was what happened!
The Scripture of Tranquility was handed down from generation to generation by the Lu family in North Lake City. It had been handed down for thousands of years, but the second half of the scripture was not recorded.
The first half talked about the wise ways to save the world and its people.
The second half was filled with ways to kill men!
For thousands of years, countless erudites from the Lu family wanted to complete the scripture, but their efforts were in vain.
Denzel did not expect that his grandfather would complete it!
No wonder the Lu family had tortured grandfather so cruelly!
They must have done it to force his grandfather to hand over his completed copy of the Scripture.
However, his grandfather was shrewd and he saw through the evil side of the Lu family. He didn't want them to misuse it, so he refused to give in their demands.
That was why he was tortured for 48 hours before he finally found peace...
"Young Master, the book is here. It's a unique copy." Harper clicked on the antique box.
Denzel looked at the box, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
"Young Master, the Old Master has left his last words before his death. I'll recite them to you."
"The Old Master knew that despite your arrogance, you still have kind heart. Therefore, he knew that when you will hear the news of his death, you would definitely avenge him."
"However, The Lu family is someone that you could mess with now."
"The Old Master gives you two choices."
"You can either take away 100 million yuan from me and live the rest of your life in peace."
"Or you could inherit the Scripture of Tranquility. From then on, you must train for the betterment of the people. However, you must also meet these two conditions before the Old Master allows you to go after the Lu famiy."
"You must first earn a hundred billion yuan. Then, you must master the Scripture of Tranquility until its fifth chapter!"
Hearing this, Denzel frowned slightly.
Seeing Denzel frown, Harper sighed in his heart.
Obviously, the last two conditions were set up by the Old Master to prevent the Young Master from avenging him.
A poor boy like him wouldn't be able to earn 100 billion yuan in his lifetime.
And it would be exceptionally difficult for him to master the Scripture of Tranquility until its fifth chapter.
It was known that the complete edition of the Scripture of Tranquility had ten chapters in total.
If an ordinary person was talented enough to master the book until its fourth chapter, he would have become an excellent doctor by then.
The fifth chapter...
Not only must he be talented, but he must also have the fate to...
"Your grandfather hoped that you would choose the first choice," Harper said sincerely.
How could Denzel not understand his grandfather's painstaking efforts?
The Lu family was too powerful.
They were so powerful that people could not help but feel despairing!
Harper was well aware of the dangers of seeking revenge. He gloomily handed Denzel a bank card and said, "Young Master, I hope you will be safe for the rest of your life. That way, I will be at ease."
"I'll burn this box immediately and leave no chance for the Lu family!"
Denzel took the bank card in a daze, and his hands were shaking.
He walked out in a daze as if he had made a choice.
Seeing this scene, Harper felt an immense sorrow in his heart.
The grudge was really difficult for the Young Master.
Perhaps, it would be better this way...
The Young Master was a rational person. He knew what to take and what to give up.
Harper silently recited his memorial speech, took out his lighter, and was ready to burn the box.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a crisp crack behind him!
He turned around, but his pupils contracted!
He saw Denzel, who was in a daze before, had broken the bank card with one hand!
All of a sudden, a terrifying chill burst out of Denzel's body!
His eyes were as sharp as knives!
His body was like a demon!
"Grandpa... if I don't want to resign myself to fate, I will never yield to others!"
"Even the God of Heaven and Earth will not be able to force me!"
"With the Scripture of Tranquility and a single stroke of needle... life, and death will not be decided by God anymore."
"It will be up to me to decide!"
