At this moment, a man in a black trench coat knocked on the door and entered, saying, “Michael Bolton, just now Huaxi Hospital reported that a young man named Henry Parker has awakened a one-star water spiritual root and inherited ‘Bishui Divine Art’.”

Michael Bolton showed no reaction and continued to bury himself in his paperwork.

As far as he knew, there were more than a hundred cultivators in Tang Country who had inherited ‘Bishui Divine Art.’

The upper limit of the divine art was very high, but the difficulty of cultivation was also exceptionally high.

Bishui Divine Art was notoriously hard to master; if one couldn’t reach the Great Accomplishment stage, it was of little use.

Moreover, only by cultivating to the Perfection stage could one refine Bishui and advance the grade of their spiritual root.

This threshold had stumped countless prodigies.

The man in the black trench coat continued, “According to Director Director Brooks of Huaxi Hospital, who personally tested him, Henry Parker has cultivated the first level of ‘Bishui Divine Art’ to perfection, already transcending the norm, and is currently still lying in the hospital undergoing physical transformation. Once he wakes up, he will surely be reborn.”

“Oh?” Michael Bolton showed some interest. “Go on, elaborate.”

The man in black understood and immediately went into detail: “Henry Parker, born January 1st, Year 100 of the New Calendar, hometown Neijiang Prefecture, Weiyuan County.”

“On June 28th, Year 115 of the New Calendar, the Nine-Lives Demon King infiltrated the county and caused the Weiyuan Tragedy, which was classified as a red file.”

“The total death toll in the county was 873, including Henry Parker’s family.”

“That evening, Henry Parker was playing basketball outside. When he returned home, he saw his parents and grandparents lying in a pool of blood.”

“He was the top scorer in Weiyuan County’s high school entrance exam that year and had been admitted to a provincial key high school. But after the family tragedy, Henry Parker didn’t go to high school and wandered everywhere hunting demons to vent his anger.”

“He’s very stubborn, trying to avenge his family against the Demon King as a mere mortal.”

“Wait a minute.” Michael Bolton interrupted, “Since it was classified as a red file, how did he know the culprit was the Nine-Lives Demon King?”

“The tragedy was too big to cover up, and over a hundred demon hunters showed up in the county, hoping to make a name for themselves by killing the Demon King. Henry Parker learned the truth from a few demon hunters,” the man in black replied.

“Oh, go on,” Michael Bolton said, then continued working on his documents.

“Even mortals without spiritual roots have a small chance of developing supernatural abilities. Henry Parker most likely has an ability specifically targeting demons. He always manages to kill demons as a mortal using some strange and unusual methods.”

“He searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the Nine-Lives Demon King, traveling to many places at a young age.”

“At sixteen, he went to the provincial capital and became an assistant to a demon hunter named Chad Sullivan. Thanks to his ability, he was quickly valued and even had his first love.”

“Chad Sullivan has a younger sister named Yvonne Sullivan, who had just graduated from college at the time. She was also a mortal, liked pretty boys, and saw Henry Parker as the pride of mortals. The two officially started dating.”

“A year later, Yvonne Sullivan awakened, and began to look down on this mortal.”

“When Henry Parker was eighteen, he was seriously injured and hospitalized, developing hypothyroidism. He was hospitalized for over three months, gained more than sixty pounds, and his appearance changed completely. He used to be the school heartthrob, but after gaining weight, his life was ruined—he became an unloved fat guy.”

“Not long after he was discharged, Yvonne Sullivan broke up with him.”

“Within two months, Yvonne Sullivan married a cultivator and even sent him a wedding invitation.”

“Henry Parker made a scene at the wedding and then cut ties with the Shen family, going solo.”

“He went to the most chaotic East Gate Station in the area, wearing the same suit he wore to his ex-girlfriend’s wedding every day, earning the nickname ‘Suit Thug.’”

“This guy is ruthless and reckless in a fight, and in just half a year, he became the boss of East Station.”

“During that time, his life was a mess—he was a regular at hair salons, foot massage parlors, and KTVs.”

“He suffered severe trauma in his youth, which left him with personality flaws. Sometimes he would suddenly act out and do bizarre things. When he was twenty, he suddenly claimed he wanted to turn over a new leaf and organized over a hundred prostitutes to go straight…”

Hearing this, Michael Bolton, who had been reading documents, suddenly looked up. “Did he succeed?”

“No, he didn’t.”

The man in black replied, “His sudden move caused public outrage, and he couldn’t stay at East Station anymore.”

“At that time, a security officer named Alice White admired him and persuaded him to turn his life around.”

“Later, Alice White went against public opinion and specially hired Henry Parker as a technical consultant.”

“It’s hard to believe, but as a mere mortal, the number of demons killed by him is at least eighty, if not a hundred.”

After hearing this, Michael Bolton clicked his tongue in amazement. “For a mortal to achieve this, this kid is really something.”

Then, he slapped the table. “Such a talent has been in Rong City for years, so why have I never heard of him?”

The man in black couldn’t help but tremble. “Mr. Bolton, you’ve only been in office for a week and have too many things to handle. I haven’t had time to report some details.”

Michael Bolton said coldly, “How much can a security bureau consultant make? After what happened to his family, I doubt he inherited much. Tell me, to awaken at Huaxi Hospital, you need a Spiritual Fruit of Enlightenment, which costs a hundred million—where did he get that money?”

The man in black replied, “I checked. The money was transferred to him by the Tiandao Foundation.”

“Tiandao Foundation?”

Michael Bolton’s expression changed slightly. “Withdraw your people. No need to investigate further.”
