Chapter 4
An old, well–respected doctor showing respect to a young man in his 205, asking to become his apprentice, was truly a bizarre sight.
“Dr. Brooke, what are you doing?” Serena was stunned, she had been overjoyed when Ethan saved Cindy, but this was beyond anything she could have imagined. Could Ethan’s skills really be so extraordinary that even a revered figure like Simon would go to such lengths?
“you don’t understand, Ms. Serena. The technique Ethan–no, my mentor–used just now is a long–lost art in alternative medicine. Many in the field dream of mastering it. Moreover, his ability to pull your sister back from the brink of death so effortlessly proves that his medical expertise far surpasses mine. Calling hum my mentor is not only appropriate, it’s an honor”
He looked as excited as someone holding a winning lottery ticket. This kind of once–in–a–lifetime opportunity wasn’t something he could let slip.
“Alright, enough of that. If we want to solve the problem for good, we need to fend the mot cause. Otherwise, I might’ve saved her today, only for the same thing to happen tomorrow. That simple statement beaught everyone’s attention back in Cindy
As a daughter of the wealthiest family in Silverbank City, being poisoned under her own roof was no trivial matter. Someone had clearly orchestrated this, but who could it be?
“What have you been eating lately?” The room fell silent for a few minutes aveveryone pondered the question. Seeing the blank looks on their faces, Ethan decided to take the lead:
post the goal meals and a supplement, I’ve been taking those for years because of my weak constitution, “Cindy replied.
“What kind of supplement is it? Bring me whatever’s lell.” The maids quicldy Jetched a leftover portion from the previous day
After inspecting the misture, Ethan noted that it contained Genlo, Loocur, Jemin, Disom, Dante, and more. It was a typical concoction for boosting energy and blood circulation. On the surface, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
“I’ve been taking it every day for years. It can’t possibly be the problem, right?” Cindy asked
“It’s hard to say “Under the curious paze of the others, Ethan scooped up a spoonful and tasted it himself. Immediately, a complex blend of flavors burst across his palate. To an ordinary person, it would just taste like herbs, but Ethan’s refined senses could separate each ingredient in an instant.
He spar it out and came to a conclusion. “The supplement has been tampered with. Someone added polson to it.”
All eyes tumed to the maids responsible for preparing Cindy’s supplements.
Serena gestured, and all the maids gathered around immediately. “Who made this batch?”
“It was Natasha,” one of the maids answered nervously.
“Natasha?” Serena and Cindy exchanged a surprised look. However, Natasha Taylor was not in sight. She had been with the family for five to six years and was one of their most trusted employees.
“I remember now. She personally brought it to me yesterday and stayed to make sure I finished it before leaving.” Cindy’s memory proved that Natasha was
involved in this..
“Natasha’s of today,” one of the maids replied.
“Call her. Now, Serena.commanded
A maid dialed Natasha’s number, but the call went straight to voicemail. The message was clear–Natasha was involved.
“Find het: I don’t care how long it takes or where she’s hiding. I want her found!” Serena ordered.
For a family as powerful as the Walken, locating a known individual in Silverbank City was a simple task. The real challenge would be uncovering who was behind ⠀⠀ the poisoning. After all, Natasha was just a maid, and the Walkerfamily had been nice to her as well. She had no reason to harm Cindy unless someone else had

“Thanks, Erhan You saved my sister’s life today. From now on, you’re my swombrother,” Serena declared.
“You’or my sworn brother too!” Cindy added with agna.
“I told you, I’m not just some wannabe. I’m the real deal!” Erhan said.
“Whether you’re the meal deal or not, we’ll need to investigate you properly. Dad will want to confirm everything himself when he’s back. Until then, you’ll have to
in bring our sworn brother.”
The sisters loped that than was the long–lost brother they had been looking for too. However, they still needed time to prove that Ethan was the one

Get some rest, Cindy. I’ll come back once I send Ethan over,” Serena said to Cindy.
“Alright. Drive safe, Serena,” Cindy nodded before turning to face Ethan. “I’ll visit you when I’m better!”
“Deal!” Ethan said. With that, Serena drove him to her apartment. Donovan and Simon stared as the Rolls–Royce drove away and made a mental note to visit Ethan
Twenty minutes later, Serena pulled up to Skyview Residence, a luxurious complex with units worth millions.
Ethan couldn’t help but gawk at the upscale streets and vibrant cityscape along the way. He wished he could go for a walk right away. Having spent his entire life on a remote mountain, the bustling city was both overwhelming and exhilarating.
“What’s going on over there? As they approached the building, Serena noticed a crowd gathered outside.
The both of them glanced up and noticed someone was about to jump
