Shiloh’s bright eyes flickered with surprise. “You noticed? No wonder Cedric speaks so highly of you, Mr. Baldwin. Your insight is truly remarkable. You’re right-l do have a condition. That’s why, despite being over 80, I don’t look my age.”
Kingsley nodded but did not press further. That was her personal business, and prying any more would have been rude.
Meanwhile, Aspen and Hannah were fuming.
Aspen stepped forward, blocking their path. “Master Shiloh, I just don’t understand. Why would you choose to leave with Kingsley over a mere 20 million?”
Hannah gritted her teeth. “Master Shiloh, we already told you-we’re willing to offer you a better price. Why won’t you accept our offer?”
Shiloh’s expression remained calm. “It’s simple. Mr. Baldwin understands what I actually need, unlike you all, who keep making empty promises without any real grasp of my practice. But most importantly, Cedric told me that Mr. Baldwin is a remarkable physician. So I thought, perhaps he might be able to help me with my condition.”
Harvey, utterly frustrated, snapped, “So what, Master Shiloh? You think Kingsley understands you just because he’s offering money? And only 20 million, at that?”
Hannah scoffed. “Master Shiloh, you are someone devoted to your spiritual path. What could Kingsley possibly understand about that? If anything, I believe I can have a far deeper discussion with you. After all, we both have aspirations-we’re dreamers with real goals!”
Shiloh shook her head and smiled at Kingsley. “Mr. Baldwin, they’re blinded by illusions. Would you mind helping them see the truth?”
Kingsley nodded. “It would be my pleasure.”
Looking at Aspen and Hannah’s darkened expressions, as well as Harvey’s tense demeanor, Kingsley calmly began to explain.
“First of all, Master Shiloh isn’t practicing some untouchable, mystical path like you imagine. In today’s world, there are no gods, no immortals, none of those fantasy ideals you’re chasing.”
He continued, “There’s only reality-things like food on the table, money to survive, and the struggles of everyday life. You all came to this monastery, but did you even notice how rundown it is? Master Shiloh isn’t just practicing her teachings- she’s also filming videos and posting them online. Have you ever wondered why?”
Harvey hesitated before answering stiffly, “Isn’t it to educate people about wellness and healthy living?”
Kingsley smirked. “Maybe partly. But the real reason is simple-she’s trying to make a living. Am I right, Master Shiloh?”
Shiloh chuckled. “Absolutely. I make short videos for views and income.”
Hannah looked stunned. “It’s really that simple?”
Shiloh nodded. “That simple.”
Aspen still refused to accept it. She clenched her fists and said angrily, “With your reputation, Master Shiloh, if you needed money, you wouldn’t even have to lift a finger. People would line up to give not
“Why go through all this trouble, living a frugal life here in The Southern Highlands? And why settle for Kingsley’s 20 million when you could have so much more?”
Shiloh’s tone remained indifferent.
“First of all, I don’t like accepting handouts. I am not a beggar.
Second, 20 million is not a small amount. More than that would serve me no real purpose.
“And finally Mr. Baldwin is a miracle doctor. He might be able to treat my condition. You, on the other hand, cannot. It’s as simple as that. Mr. Baldwin, let’s head down the O mountain.”
Kingsley grinned. “Of course. Right this way, Master Shiloh.
Shiloh corrected him immediately. “Just call me Shiloh. I don’t like being addressed in a way that makes me sound old. Also, while I once trained at Everglade Mountain, it was a temporary practice.
“I never fully took vows-I’m merely a lay disciple, so you don’t need to call me ‘Master’ or anything like that. And one more thing-I see myself as young. So don’t call me by addresses that make me sound ancient. I won’t remind you again!”
Kingsley chuckled and nodded. “Got it, Shiloh.”
He had never expected this woman to have quite a fiery temper. Then again, no woman liked being called old, so Kingsley understood.
Michael, on the other hand, was practically vibrating with excitement. He could not believe it-Kingsley had actually secured an endorsement from the most respected wellness expert in Jayrodale.
For Rhodes Corporation’s pharmaceutical division, this was nothing short of a miracle.
Eager to please, he grinned and stepped forward. “Master Shiloh, this way, please!”
Kingsley sighed. “Michael, you’re in trouble.”
“Huh?” Michael blinked in confusion.
Before he could react, Shiloh slapped him hard across his face.
Her voice was cold as ice as she shouted, “I already told you don’t call me ‘Master’ or anything of the sort. Are you deaf?”
Michael stood there, stunned, clutching his cheek. He had never expected someone known for health and meditation to have such a short fuse. Face burning with both pain and embarrassment, he growled, “You-“
Yet, before he could finish, Kingsley had already led Shiloh out of the monastery.
Hannah, filled with resentment, turned to Aspen. “Aspen, what do we do? People adore Shiloh-especially the wealthy socialites in Jayrodale. They swear by her wellness teachings and follow her religiously.
“With someone this influential under Kingsley’s control, he’s definitely going to use her to turn Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division around!”
Aspen’s fury only grew. She snapped, “Kingsley, you’ll die a miserable death!”
She had been so confident that she would crush Kingsley this time. Yet once again, she had lost in his hands. Her frustration boiled over, and for the first time, she began to doubt herself.
Was she truly inferior to him? No matter how hard she tried, would she always lose to him?
Aspen refused to accept it.
Meanwhile, Harvey’s expression darkened with malicious intent. He turned to the two elder enforcers of the Wellers and ordered, “Let’s go. We’ll just take her by force.
“Damn it, if this stubborn nun doesn’t know what’s good for her, then we’ll drag her back ourselves. And while we’re at it, I’ll finally rip that veil off and see what she really looks like underneath. If she turns out to be a stunne -well, then, lucky me!”
The two elder enforcers immediately shot him a warning glance.
“Mr. Weller, you’d best keep your behavior in check. If we try to take her by force, we risk Kingsley getting involved.
Harvey sneered. “If he dares to interfere, he’s signing his own death warrant. With the two of you working together, he won’t stand a chance.”
The two enforcers exchanged a look. One of them had fought Kingsley before-and had been utterly defeated in a single move. Nonetheless, with both of them attacking together and the additional training they had recently undergone, they felt far more confident.
A two-on-one fight? That was a completely different story
“Alright,” one of them finally said. “We’ll follow your orders, Mr. Weller. Let’s take her now. As long as we bring Shiloh back under the Wellers’
control using a few extreme measures is nothing out of the ordinary.”
Both enforcers had been the Wellers’ most ruthless enforcers in their younger years. Now that they had made up their minds, they did not hesitate any longer. With Harvey leading the way, they stormed off in pursuit of Kingsley and Shiloh. 3
Kingsley led Shiloh toward the car, with Michael trailing behind. As they walked, Shiloh turned her head for one last look at the worn-down monastery.”
Her voice was soft as she mumbled, “Perhaps I won’t be coming back here again.”
Kingsley chuckled. “If you ever decide to return, I can have the entire place renovated for you. I’ll get a team to rebuild it, plant some trees and flowers, and turn it into a beautiful retreat-maybe even a landmark in Jayrodale.”
Shiloh shook her head. “No need. I have no attachment to this place.”
Michael, unable to hold back his curiosity, blurted, “Mas-h… Shiloh, can you take off your veil?”
He had almost called her “Master” again. That would have arned him another slap for sure.
Shiloh remained indifferent. “No one is allowed to see my face. Especially men. If any man sees my real face, I’ll kill him.”
Michael frowned. “Seriously? Just one look, and you’d kill someone? What are you, the queen of some ancient empire?”
Shiloh cast him a cold glance. “Why don’t you try and find out?”
Michael’s heart skipped a beat. He was tempted-curious to know if she was a breathtaking beauty or just hiding a face not worth showing. In the end, he suppressed the thought-messing with a woman who might actually be insane was not worth the risk.
Kingsley pulled open the car door. “Shiloh, get in.”
However, Shiloh did not move. Instead, she spoke calmly. Mr. Baldwin, we might have trouble.”
Kingsley raised an eyebrow. Then, following her gaze, he spotted Harvey approaching with the two elder enforcers of the Wellers, their expressions dark and hostile.
“Master Shiloh, I suggest you come with us to the Wellers, Harvey said coldly. “Otherwise, I’d have to use force.”
With a flick of his wrist, the two enforcers spread out, positioning themselves on either side of Kingsley, forming a subtle encirclement.
Kingsley did not react much. Instead, he glanced at Shiloh, slightly surprised. She had sensed the threat even before he had.
That meant one of two things-either Shiloh’s skills surpassed even his, making her unfathomably powerful, or she had an extraordinary gift-a heightened perception that allowed her to detect danger before it even arrived.
Kingsley leaned toward the second option. Since Shiloh had lived a life of discipline and detachment, her heightened awareness likely made her extremely sensitive to hostility.
Michael’s face darkened. “Harvey, what’s this about? You lost fair and square, so now you’re resorting to kidnapping? How pathetic can you get?”
Harvey scoffed. “Shiloh is a fool. She doesn’t know any better and falls for Kingsley’s little money trick. I, however can’t just stand by and watch her be deceived. Rhodes
Corporation is clearly taking advantage of her, and I won’t allow it!
He acted as if he were some righteous hero saving a helpless woman from danger.
Kingsley snorted. “Harvey, if your father could see you pulling this shameless stunt, he’d probably be rolling in his grave-too pissed off to even rest in peace.”
Harvey’s face twisted in rage. “Shut your damn mouth, Kingsley! You don’t get to talk about my father. You’re not worthy!”
Kingsley smirked. “Oh, I’m not worthy? But you are? So worthy, in fact, that you seduced your father’s woman and even played a hand in his death? Wow. Truly a ‘devoted’

Harvey’s face turned red with fury. He lost it. “You bastard Shut the hell up! Both of you-what are you waiting for? Kill him!”
The two Wellers enforcers hesitated for a brief second. After all, Harvey’s actions had already left a bad taste in their mouths.
Nonetheless, for the Wellers, their rise to power was the only thing that mattered. Harvey might have been a disgraceful excuse for a leader, but he was still the head of the family.
One of the elder enforcers spoke in a cold voice. “4.row. you know too much. That leaves us with no choice-we have to take you out.”
Kingsley smirked. “Of course you do. That way, no one will ever know just how filthy the Wellers’ secrets really are, right?”
The two Wellers elders roared in unison, “Arrogant fool! Die!”
Kingsley casually lifted his foot and kicked Michael straight into them, sending him flying toward the two elders. One of the enforcers scoffed, effortlessly swinging a palm and smacking Michael aside like a ragdoll. His body went flying, landing in a heap-his fate unknown. 1
Kingsley’s face turned cold. “Shiloh, get in the car. I’ll handle the Wellers, and then we’ll head back to Jayrodale.”
However, Shiloh stood her ground, completely unfazed. “No need for that. They came here to take me by force, so I’ll deal with them myself.”
