Chapter 25

His mom was grinning and smiling from ear to ear.

Scott, she's such a nice lady. I could sense that she came from a well-off family. Despite that, she never once acted arrogantly. You have to work harder so that you can have a relationship with her!" Hannah advised after Stephanie had left.

"Mom, stop it! We're just friends!" Scott answered helplessly.

"Indeed, son. I think she's nice, too! Listen to your mom. Work harder to please Stephanie. You know I'm always right when it comes to these things!" Jasper added.

He used to be a marriage counselor so he understands signs when he sees them.

It was incredibly rare for Jasper to talk casually with Scott. So, it meant that he was very sure of how he felt toward Stephanie.

"All right, you two. Stay out of it!" Scott went into his bedroom after that.

After he had gotten into his bedroom, Scott didn't go to bed. Instead, he sat down on the floor with his legs crossed. He then calmed himself down and shut his eyes before initiating the Focus Technique. Suddenly, waves and waves of spiritual energy rushed toward him.

Throughout the past three years, he had never skipped a day of his training. Although it was an instruction from Dracula, Scott insisted that he would continue refining his spiritual energy even after getting out of jail.

Not long after that, all the spiritual energy on the mountain top had gathered around Scott and formed a whirlpool. Gradually, he breathed in the spiritual energy.

Due to Scott still being in the early stages of the process, the amount of spiritual energy that he could absorb was still considered to be little. However, slowly but surely, he could improve himself over time.

By the time Scott opened his eyes, it was already sunrise. After letting out a long breath, he realized that he had never felt better in his life. It was because the spiritual energy at the mountaintop was way purer than in prison. Instead of tiredness, he felt rather energetic after the cultivation.

"My son, it's time for breakfast!" Scott stretched his body and got out of his bedroom upon hearing Hannah's voice.

Jasper had prepared a sumptuous breakfast for everyone. Not only that, his attitude toward Scott had changed. He was gentler toward him, and he even smiled at him. Perhaps it was due to Stephanie's visit the day before.

After breakfast, Jasper brought Hannah out of the mansion for a stroll. On the other hand, Scott planned to head out to visit an antique market. He was hoping to find a calligraphy brush and cinnabar rosary imbued with spirituality.

Scott was eager to heal his mom and restore her eyesight.

Meanwhile, Laurel, Eliza and George had spent the previous night at laurel's mansion.

The moment Laurel thought about how Scott had ruined her wedding the day before, she was bristling with anger. Even worse, Scott had just moved into a mansion more luxurious than hers.

"George what time did you say those friends of yours would arrive?" Laurel asked.

"They'll be here soon! As they're all martial arts experts, Scott would be torn into pieces! Besides, these tough and ruthless friends of mine are from the Pirates." George knew that Laurel wouldn't do anything to Scott. Hence, he made a few phone calls to his friends. He wanted revenge for what Scott did to him as well.

"That's good, then. Scott has to come out of the mansion at some point. The Vaquez family can't keep him safe at all times!" Laurel was fuming as she clenched her teeth. "That piece of trash! Not only did he break Greg's arm, but he also ruined my wedding. He deserves to die!"

After she was done raging, Laurel looked at George and said, "I have to go to the hospital to see Greg now. You take care of Scott. After it's done, you can expect a handsome reward!"

"No problem. Wait for my good news!"George assured...
