Later in the day, Delilah received a call from Samuel notifying her about Master Jay’s arrival at the base. “My mentor has just arrived at the base,” he said, his voice brimming with a mix of excitement and urgency. Delilah’s heart raced, the news sending a wave of relief and significantly raising her hopes for her grandfather’s recovery. “Your mentor is here already?” she repeated. A bright smile stretched across her face as she stood up from where she laid. “I’m going to meet him right now.” “Okay then,” Samuel’s grin grew wider on the other end of the line as he felt both excited and optimistic about the opportunity. He looked forward to his mentor potentially curing Sir Morrigan, and also saw this as a chance to strengthen his relationship with Delilah. Ending the call. Delilah wasted no time and immediately went to greet Master Jay. At the same time, Samuel and Helen were already at Delilah’s villa awaiting Delilah and Master Jay’s arrival. Unexpectedly, Richa

The man nodded, his tone serious but tinged with astonishment as he inspected the substance more. “While your grandfather’s condition remains severe, whatever that young man did, it has managed to temporarily suppress the poison in his body. “What he did literally bought him more time,” Samuel chimed in, whispering in astonishment. “Correct,” Master Jay said. He chuckled, placing his hands on his waist, “This is wonderful!” he exclaimed, evidently impressed. Turning sharply, his amazed eyes found Samuel. “Did you watch him while he treated Sir Morrigan? Did you see what he did?”Samuel hesitated, trying to recollect the little he saw. “I… didn’t really pay attention. But he used silver acupuncture needles first. I think he arranged them in some sort of pattern before administering a herb mixture.”“Wow!” Master Jay’s eyes lit with amazement. “WOW!” he repeated with an excited chuckle. His mind was completely blown at the skill involved in the treatment because he recognized it.

*knock* *knock*There was another aggressive knock on the door, halting Richard’s steps. He paused, frowning, before resuming his walk to open it. His brows furrowed deeply as he wondered who was knocking his door in such a manner. The last time he checked, he wasn’t expecting any visitors. Richard opened the door, just to see Tessa and her mother at his doorstep. He tilted his head and his gaze turned cold, surprised by their unexpected and unwanted visit. He had not seen Tessa’s mother in a long time, and only coincidentally met Tessa twice as well after a long time. How did they even get his address? He wondered. Without Richard inviting them in, they walked into the house, their heels clicking against the floor as their eyes darted everywhere, examining his grand living room. Richard pursed his lip but maintained his composure as he closed the door behind him. “Richard, is this your villa? When did you buy one and how were you even able to afford a villa?” Tessa’s mother,

“Unfortunately, there is an intellectually deficient person here with us..”“But why is that so?”Janae traced Samuel’s gaze back and forth to confirm, her brows furrowing deeper with each passing second. “What’s going on?” she muttered under her breath.Richard’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t have to look twice to know Samuel was referring to him. But he remained calm. The murmurs in the hall began to grow with each passing second as the crowd whispered to each other, staring at Richard in confusion. “I wonder why such an individual is in our midst today,” Samuel continued as he turned his annoyed gaze to the president of the association. “With all due respect sir, what is this utterly unremarkable man doing in the same gathering as me, the esteemed protégé of a truly great master?”Everyone’s jaw dropped, followed by a collective “Ah” of disbelief. “Do they know each other?”“That’s actually mean, don’t you think?”“Well, If Samuel Orchid says he’s utterly unremarkable, then he must

Samuel opened the door with a deep bow, “Welcome, sir!” he exclaimed before straightening to see the mysterious medical prodigy.“Uh!”Samuel’s smile instantly vanished the moment his gaze fell on Richard behind the door. “What are you doing here?” he sneered, his tone low and laced with anger. Richard raised his eyebrow, his eyes sweeping over Samuel before firmly stepping past him and walking in. In contrast to Samuel, Master Jay’s face lit the moment he saw Richard. “Doctor Richard?” he asked, standing up and gesturing for a handshake.Richard smiled politely, nodding. “Yes. Good evening sir.”“Oh God! It’s great to finally meet you!” Master Jay said, chuckling as they both exchanged a firm handshake. “Likewise,” Richard said calmly. Samuel was still frozen, his feet rooted at the door as he watched Richard and his Master, his jaw hanging slack in disbelief. He swallowed and blinked rapidly, as if to clear his vision as his mind scrambled to make sense of what he was seeing.
