On the side, Fang Lifang and her companion were smiling as they watched the Fang Family's farce unfold.
After the ventilator was removed, everyone's gaze was fixed on Xia Liang. Fang Ding and the others even subconsciously quieted their breathing.
Xia Liang inconspicuously checked the time, then glanced at the clock again, gauging the moment Old Master Fang was scheduled to awaken. After all, he had to seize the perfect opportunity. He made no move for the time being.
A few moments later, just as Fang Ding was about to ask why Xia Liang hadn't acted, Xia Liang finally spoke.
"As the saying goes, life and death are predestined. But I can defy the heavens and change fate!"
Xia Liang stood straight and tall, extending his right hand and pointing a single finger at the unconscious Old Master Fang.
He gave a single command.
"Awake!"
BOOM!
Whether it was a coincidence or not, a bolt of lightning split the sky outside the window the very instant Xia Liang spoke.
