Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 400

Avery was slightly stunned, "Did you smell it?"
"The smell of your blood is different from that of normal blood. The specific toxicity is unknown, and whether it is fatal or not is also to be checked. This is all that can be diagnosed."
"Is there a cure?"
The doctor paused and glanced at Rooney, "No."
Avery nodded, thanked Rooney, and followed the doctor out.
"Doctor, is there really no cure of the toxin in my body?"
The doctor glanced at her, "The one-hundred-year medicine may be worth a try, but you may not be eligible for it."
He said it as if he were afraid that Avery would follow him and walked away quickly.
It turned out that he was talking about the medicine made with 81 precious medicinal materials, which was said to have been boiled for a hundred years.
People here said the ancestral medicine was so magical, and that all severe diseases might be cured. Avery smiled bitterly, and she might as well wait for Charles to wake up.

In the castle of the Howel family in Country B
Evan snatched Robert's phone, and he heard the bodyguards report the results of the search in it. One day had passed, but they still found no useful clues.
"I just want to know where she is now!" Evan throws the phone back to Robert angrily.
"Mr. Howel, a servant of the presidential palace, said she saw the president took Mrs. Howel away."
"The president?"
"The president fell in love with Mrs. Howel's mother. Although Mrs. Howel's mother jumped off a cliff and killed herself, the president has never given up and sent people to look for her for years."
"Where did my mother-in-law jump?"
Robert gently coughed, "It's on the border between Country B and Cambola City."

"Send people to search in that direction."
"Yes."
"Mr. Howel." A servant greeted him at the door, trying to come in.
When Robert opened the door, the servant took two steps in and said, "Your grandfather sent the housekeeper to pick you up."
"Tell him I don't have time."
"But Mr. Howel..."
"Mr. Howel." It's Lucien's voice. He held an Ipad in his hand and handed it to Robert, "Your grandfather said, let me show this to you if you refuse to come."
Robert looked at the Ipad, and his look changed greatly.
He hurriedly handed over the Ipad to Mr. Howel.
Evan beat the Ipad hard on the ground, stepped on it, and walked over, "Let's go."
Lucien led the way for Evan all the way. When they walked into the house, they heard the bright laughter of the old Mr. Howel, which was very different from his daily image.
At the sight of Evan, the old Mr. Howel stopped laughing and threw the wax ball in his hand to Evan. The wax ball hit a vase, which was immediately smashed to pieces.
"Grandpa." It's Rebecca's voice. She sat in the living room next to Molly.
"How can I have an irresponsible grandson like you?"
"I think I've made it very clear." Evan stood in place with his hands in pockets, with no intention of approaching.
Because of the three of them in the spacious living room, Evan felt uneasy.
"Whether you touched Rebecca or not, you have sullied her reputation. She is the princess. How is she going to get married in her life with the thing that happened?"
"Don't you like her very much?"
"Bastard!" Evan's grandfather threw a teapot to him again, and Rebecca screamed, "Grandpa, in fact, it's really nothing. I know he has only one in his heart."

"Rebecca, don't be afraid. I'll take care of it for you."
"Grandpa."
Evan raised his eyebrows and heard his grandfather say to him, "Have you seen what Lucien gave you?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I want you to be responsible for Rebecca."
Evan slightly raised his mouth and said, "Well, you can do whatever you want. Just as you wish."
With that, Evan strode out of the house. Robert did not come to himself for a long time. By the time he came to himself, Evan had gone far out, and he rushed out to follow his boss.
Jessica, who was also in Country B, has not come to herself for a long time.
It's late and quiet. She quietly opened the door of the room, followed by Matilda.
At this time, there was a creepy cry from the basement.
"Jessica, I'm scared."
"Don't be scared and follow me. Take it easy. We can't be found out by the housekeeper."
They crept and quickly came to the door of the basement, which was unlocked. It's probably to be sure that no one dared to go to such a place, for it was so gloomy and scary.
The sound made them creepy.
Jessica was also afraid, but she was very curious and wanted to come in to find it out.
There was a steep and deep concrete staircase.
There were faint wall lights on both sides, which could only barely shine on the ground.
"Jessica, I'm so scared. I don't want to go down."
"We are almost there. Just go in and take a look."
"But what if it's a monster?"
"If it were a monster, it would already eat us. It might be some kind of animal."
Jessica grabbed Matilda by the hand. Without Matilda accompanying her, Jessica was afraid of going down.
There was an echo in the narrow staircase. Though their voices were very small, the echoes of their voices were loud.
In this way, Jessica grabbed Matilda step by step. As they went deeper, Jessica became more and more afraid.
Oddly enough, the cry they heard in the room now faded.
When they arrived at the last step, an iron door stood in front of them. This was a room similar to a prison, with three walls and an iron door.
A man in a suit sat on the ground, leaning against the wall with a hand on his knee.
There were chains tied to his wrists, and the bruises that were strangled by the chains were visible.
Jessica covered her mouth, and Matilda was also surprised.
It seemed to be a person they all knew.
The man, wearing a silver fox mask, leaned against the wall and did not react to their trespassing. They didn't know whether he was asleep or in a coma.
"What happened to him? Is he dead?"
"I don't know."
Jessica remembered what he had done to her, and she really wanted him to die.
She was still unable to control her curiosity and pull Matilda to walk into the room.
She tiptoed for fear of waking him up.
Matilda stood still, "Jessica, let's go back. If he wakes up and sees us, he will kill us."
With that, Matilda was afraid to take another step.
Jessica had to walk over, squatted down, and observed him quietly. She couldn't see his appearance, only to see his bangs have been wet in the sweat of his forehead.
A moment later, Jessica's hand reached to his mask.

The Elemental Arena
*A Rational-Adjacent litRPG Survival Series.* The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another. By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter. But only one species will be declared the winner. Earth has finally qualified... ...and participation is mandatory. A twenty-nine year old data entry clerk works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive. Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset? If they don't, their lives are forfeit. Author's note: Chapters will be anywhere from 6k to 10k in words, varying based on the plot beats instead of specific word counts. Realistic actions and teamwork will be important aspects of my story. I'm trying something a little different in writing a realism focused litRPG, hoping to capture the essence of how real people would react to their situation. People are complex and don't always get along. I don't recommend starting the series expecting wish fulfillment tropes just because it's tagged litRPG. It's a survival story with the game settings on Hell difficulty. The plot hasn't gotten there yet, but in the future of the series I want to recreate my nostalgia of forty person raids on Ragnaros, but with the high stakes of boss battles in Sword Art Online. I also love puzzle rooms so expect one of those each book. Warnings: mild PG-rated language, graphic violence and gore, and graphic medical content.

The Pokemon Ranger
Summoned from his unjust suffering in the mundane world, Spike finds himself before Arceus, who opts to send him to the world of Pokemon with the request to assist in maintaining the world's harmony. Afterwards, Arceus sends him off with the egg of a Riolu who will be his partner along the journey. Next thing he knows, he wakes up with a headache in the body of a five-year-old boy in the middle of a forest in Hoenn. Thus begins the journey of a Pokemon Ranger who will come to be feared by those hiding in the dark of the Pokemon world.____________________________________________________________Author Note:Please keep in mind that this is an AU (Alternate Universe). I will be taking aspects of the Pokemon world that I find to be the most fun and enjoyable and editing some things as I see fit. The world will contain some elements and characters from the anime, manga, and games, but it will also have some original characters and a mostly original storyline. It will not go fully grimdark like some gritty parts of the manga or some more realistic fanfictions, but also won’t be all sunshine and roses like the games. Overall, I do want to keep the story on the lighthearted side, but there will be some more serious plots as well. About 90% taking the story seriously and 10% wish fulfillment, I suppose. Note: I am also posting this fanfiction on Webnovel. No difference on release times for chapters.Also, as an update because of the people who messaged me about the multiple transmigrators, the existence of other transmigrators won't have much, if any, affect on the main plotline (or the harem if that's what those people are worried about). There will only be a handful of interactions with a few of the transmigrators during some of the more dangerous scenarios I have planned. I don't expect this to change anybody's mind, but thought it was worth mentioning. Also, I edited the first chapter to make this more obvious.Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or speak for GameFreak, Nintendo, or Pokemon. I'm just a fan having some fun in his free time.

His race would change around chapters 20-30. The story's pacing would depend on the arcs, but I'll try to keep it at the fast-mediums. This story WILL have a harem, although the romance won't start early, and it will be slow as building characters is necessary for romance.
