At that moment the entire room fell silent.

Immediately John's face went pale.

His mother staggered slightly, gripping the chair beside her for support.

Even Vincent’s jaw tightened, his eyes dark with realization.

He couldn't believe what he just heard, for someone everyone thought wouldn't make it, now suddenly can live more than ten years according to Dr.Damien was unthinkable.

Dr.Damien glanced at Raymond, then shook his head.

“You should be thanking him,” he said. “Instead, you insulted him, threatened him. And because of your arrogance, your grandmother lost ten years of her life.”

At that moment Vincent stood frozen as he gazed at his mother, his mind struggling to process what he was witnessing.

For as long as he could remember, his mother had always been frail, her body weakened by age and sickness. She was nearly 90, and even the best doctors had told him that prolonging her life beyond a few more years would be nearly impossible.

But now—She was sitting up.

    The moment the words left his mouth, the entire room went silent. Immediately Vincent’s eyes widened slightly. Drake, who was still on his knees, snapped his head up in shock. Even Vincent’s wife, who had just stormed out earlier, froze in the hallway. Dr. Damien… One of the top ten doctors in the country… Was begging to become Raymond’s student? John felt his mind blank. His mother felt lightheaded. Vincent, who had already begun to suspect that Raymond was far more than what he appeared, now found himself deeply convinced. Raymond, however, looked completely unmoved, he didn’t show surprise. Instead, he just stared at Dr. Damien for a long moment, then let out a slow exhale. “You want to be my apprentice?” Dr. Damien nodded firmly. “Yes.” Raymond tilted his head slightly. “And what do you think you can learn from me?” Immediately Dr. Damien straightened his posture. “Everything.” At that moment Raymond let out a low chuckle. “You already have years of

    “That man is even stronger than Caleb,” her sister continued, her tone matter-of-fact. “His family’s influence is on another level. Connections, power, money—he has it all.”Dahlia felt her stomach turn slightly.She already knew this.It wasn’t a secret that Jefferson’s family controlled a good portion of the city’s business and political scene.If someone wanted status, wealth, and security, then marrying into the Bushman family was a golden ticket.Her mother sighed lightly. “It’s not a bad idea.”Dahlia sat in silence, her hands clenched lightly against the soft fabric of her dress.The air in the room felt heavy, suffocating in a way she couldn’t quite describe.Her mother’s voice still lingered, discussing marriage, connections, wealth, and status—as if nothing else mattered.As if nothing had happened today.As if she hadn’t just barely escaped being assaulted.At that moment her heart twisted bitterly.Not once had they asked if she was okay.Not once had they shown any concer

    There was no politeness, no attempt at subtlety—just raw condescension in their tone. Raymond raised an eyebrow, his expression calm, uninterested. Seeing his lack of response, the first guard scoffed, shaking his head. “Let me guess—you got lost? Thought you could just waltz in and take a look around?” The second guard let out a mocking chuckle. “We get people like this every year. Wannabe doctors. Low-level assistants thinking they can sneak in.” He tilted his head, smirking. “Let me make this simple—turn around and walk away before you embarrass yourself.” Then Silence followed. Raymond said nothing. Instead, he reached into his pocket, pulling out a sleek, black-and-gold VIP membership card—one given to him by Malisa’s grandfather. At first, the guards didn’t even glance at it. But then—They saw the emblem. The emblem of Malisa’s family—one of the most respected and feared names in the entire industry. The moment they recognized it, their smug expressi

    Dressed in a traditional, custom-made physician’s robe, embroidered with golden patterns symbolizing authority, Kelly Bushman stepped in like a king surveying his kingdom. By his side was Jefferson Bushman as he walked confidently, his smirk wide, his eyes scanning the room with obvious arrogance. Behind them, a large entourage followed—doctors, assistants, influential figures, and personal bodyguards. It was a grand entrance, meant to show dominance, to remind everyone who controlled the medical world in this city. And more importantly—To make one thing clear. He would be the one who would walk away with the Chairman’s seat today. As Jefferson walked alongside Kelly, his eyes darted around the hall, searching. For days, he had been hunting for Raymond. Ever since their last encounter, Raymond had disappeared—like a shadow, untraceable, It had infuriated him. No one. No one had ever dared to humiliate him and then vanish as if nothing had happened. But today—one of

    Upon hearing the announcement Kelly just gave, the room fell into silence. No one at that moment could summon the courage to challenge Kelly. Even Malisa's jaw tightened as her gaze was fixed on Kelly. She knew how power drunk he was, and what he was proposing was wrong, but she couldn't challenge him either. Then Kelly stood up and took a slow step forward, letting his words sink into the crowd. “Why waste time with drawn-out battles?” At that moment his gaze swept across the room, challenging, taunting. “This time I suggest we change the rules.” Then a pause followed, just long enough to build anticipation. “A gauntlet.” The moment the word left his lips, the room erupted into hushed whispers. Kelly continued, ignoring the murmurs. “If anyone or you want the Chairman's position—fight me directly.” His confidence was absolute. “No brackets. No elimination rounds. No second chances.” The crowd shifted uneasily as he dropped the next condition. “And here's where it gets int

    For a brief moment, Kelly studied him, as if trying to remember if he had seen this nobody before. But after a second of silent evaluation, Kelly's interest faded. He had far greater concerns than some unknown participant. To him, Raymond was nothing. Not worth his time, not worth his attention either. He had come here to assert his dominance, to crush anyone who stood in his way, and to claim the Dragonblood Nightshade. People like Raymond? They wouldn't last long anyway. And as for Malisa? She might have been the granddaughter of the chairman, but she had no medical expertise, no martial arts background. She was young, inexperienced, and ultimately irrelevant to his goals. He had no reason to care about her opinion or opposition. At that moment the atmosphere in the grand medical hall shifted as someone stood up. To their surprise it was the West Lake's Representative, who stepped forward, his presence commanding respect. The West Lake's Representative was no ordinary healer.

    With blinding speed, he lunged toward Kelly, his movements fluid and precise. The crowd gasped at the display—few eyes could even track his movements.But Kelly didn't move. He remained perfectly still, watching with an expression of boredom.At the last possible moment, Kelly merely shifted slightly to one side. The West Lake Representative's attack missed by a hair's breadth. Before he could recover, Kelly casually flicked a finger against his chest.That simple touch sent the West Lake Representative flying backward. He crashed into the ground with a sickening thud that echoed throughout the hall.“Is that all?” Kelly asked, not even bothering to hide his disappointment.At that moment the crowd fell silent, shocked by how easily their hope had been repelled.But the West Lake Representative was not defeated. With remarkable resilience, he pulled himself up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.“You'll need more than that to defeat me,” he declared, wiping the blood away.

    He sneered, shaking his head. His voice was laced with mockery as his gaze swept across the hall, his black mist swirling ominously around him. “Surely, among all of you 'medical elites,' there must be at least one person with enough spine to step forward?” Again Silence followed. No one moved, then a smirk curled on his lips. “Pathetic.” Then—A chair scraped against the floor. Slowly, a figure stood up. Tall. Commanding. Unshaken. Immediately the crowd turned their heads in shock. It was Hullvilla's Representative. Hullvilla's Representative was known as the strongest healer of his region—a man whose knowledge of herbal medicine and spirit energy infusion was considered unparalleled. Unlike standard doctors who relied on herbs and potions, techniques, Hullvilla's Representative had mastered a unique art. A technique that allowed him to summon the essence of rare herbs, forging living entities known as Medicine Spirits—a fusion of healing and battle power. With this ability, he c

    At Dalora Enterprises, the atmosphere was lively and upbeat that morning. News of the major investment from Zachary Holdings had revitalized the entire company. Staff were moving with renewed energy, and whispers of more opportunity to come.Just as the employees were settling in, Caleb arrived at the front reception, dressed smartly in a dark blue suit. He walked with confidence, a faint smile playing on his lips as if he were already savoring the victory ahead. When he stepped into the executive floor, Deborah, Dahlia’s secretary, greeted him like royalty.“Mr. Caleb,” she said with a bright smile, practically glowing. “You’re amazing. Not everyone can pull off a deal with Zachary Holdings. It's no more secret if I say you’re the one who truly deserves Miss Dahlia. To think you did this all in secret for her birthday—how romantic of you.”Upon hearing what Deborah just said Caleb gave a modest chuckle and waved her off, though inside, he relished every word. “It’s nothing,” he sa

    After a full night of cultivation, Raymond’s eyes slowly opened, revealing a glint sharper than ever before. The early morning light filtered through the trees above, but Raymond barely noticed. His senses were heightened. His blood surged with strength. Every breath he drew felt like he was absorbing the very essence of heaven and earth.At that moment He stood up slowly, his clothes fluttering slightly from the energy pulsing around him. He clenched his fists, testing his body, and the surge of spiritual power coursing through his veins was undeniable.He had broken through another stage, His strength wasn’t just restored—it had grown exponentially now stage two, he can now use more energy sprite now. Every meridian in his body had been cleared, reinforced, and expanded. The breakthrough had pushed his cultivation to a level he hadn’t expected to reach so soon. He didn’t need a second chance to confirm it. If he were to face Kelly Bushman again, there would be no struggle. One stri

    However, to avoid any unexpected incidents or interference like last time, Jefferson gave a cold, firm order. “Bring Dahlia out tomorrow,” he said to Caleb. “No delays. No mistakes this time. The longer we wait, the more risk we invite. You get one shot.”Caleb, still trembling but eager to prove himself, and out of this situation immediately, he nodded quickly. “Understood. Tomorrow—I’ll handle it personally. Everything will go smoothly.”Jefferson gave him one last glare before waving him off. Caleb turned and hurried out of the warehouse, his mind already spinning with ideas of how to lure Dahlia into the trap without arousing suspicion.As the echo of Caleb’s footsteps faded into the distance, a strange stillness returned to the warehouse.But Jefferson didn’t move.He didn’t even flinch when a faint rustling sound came from the corner, followed by the deliberate, slow steps of someone approaching from the darkness.A shadow emerged—tall, pale, and terrifying.It was Kelly Bushma

    Upon hearing what Jefferson just said, Caleb was stunned, sitting frozen on the cold warehouse floor. His face still burned from Jefferson’s slap, and his heart pounded like a drum in his chest.“Raymond… did all that?” he whispered in disbelief. “Just him alone?”Jefferson stared at him like he was looking at a complete idiot. “Yes! One man. He humiliated me in front of everyone, crushed my uncle with a single technique, and walked out untouched. You told me he was nothing. You said I didn’t need to take him seriously.”Immediately Caleb swallowed hard. He never imagined that the man he once looked down on could be capable of such destruction. How could he have misjudged him so badly?Then Jefferson’s face twisted with more rage. “I should break your legs right here and now. You’re the reason we walked into that disaster blind!”The moment he heard those words, Caleb’s face turned pale.“Wait—no, no, no—please, Jefferson!” Caleb cried, throwing himself on the floor. “Don’t do this

    Upon hearing what Caleb just said Raymond's jaw tightened a little, he wasn't expecting Caleb to lie so boldly—so shamelessly, right to Dahlia’s face.Standing just a few steps away, he could hear every word. He had no intention of turning back or getting involved further, but Caleb’s voice was impossible to ignore, especially as it dripped with false pride, claiming credit for something he had absolutely no hand in.Then Raymond paused for a second, his expression hardened.Caleb’s tone was smug as he smiled at Dahlia, acting as though he were the hero of the night. “I thought you needed a little lift—something that would make you feel special on your birthday.”Malisa, still by Raymond’s side, shot Caleb a cold glance, her patience snapping. “Unbelievable,” she muttered. “ I can't believe he really said that with a straight face?”Raymond’s voice was low but calm. “Let it go.”“But he’s lying. And she believes him,” Malisa said, frustrated, she saw and heard everything, and she c

    Seeing that Raymond remained unmoved by her subtle flirtation, Malisa felt a small wave of disappointment rise in her chest. She lowered her eyes for a moment, hiding the faint flicker of embarrassment.Then she quickly composed herself. From the little she has known about Raymond she could tell he's not the type to be easily swayed by charm or a playful glance. She should’ve expected this. Still, she had hoped for… something, maybe a reaction, a sign.But instead, all she got was his quiet calm, his steady voice telling her it was time to go.She didn't push any further.Then she stood up, but the Alcohol was beginning to take effect on her now, her legs weren't that strong on the ground anymore.Immediately Raymond walked closer to her.“let me help you”Malisa didn't say anything but agreed.They stepped out of the warm, romantic glow of the private room and into the softly lit corridor that led back to the restaurant entrance. Just as they turned a corner, heading toward the exit

    After Jefferson and Kelly were carried away, the atmosphere outside the venue finally began to settle. The air, once heavy with pressure, now felt light, now breathable. However Raymond didn’t look back. His steps were steady, calm, and unhurried as he walked beside Malisa and Dr. Damien. The chaos they had just walked through seemed like a closed chapter—one Raymond had never been worried about in the first place.At that moment Malisa walked a little closer to him than usual. She didn’t say much, but her eyes kept stealing glances at Raymond’s face. There was something different about him—something deeper than confidence. It was the kind of presence that didn’t need loud words or anger to prove anything. It was the way he remained calm even when everyone else was panicking. That kind of strength couldn't be taught. It could only be earned.However Dr. Damien, on the other hand, was not as quiet.At that moment he cleared his throat softly, as if preparing to ask something importan

    After a brief pause—He nodded. “Fine. I'll accept.” As soon as Raymond took his seat, a man stepped forward hesitantly. It was Zachary. Now—His expression was filled with deep regret. With a polite bow, he took out a black-and-gold bank card and presented it to Raymond. “Dr.Raymond… I was wrong.” His voice was humble, sincere. “I shouldn't have exchanged words with you or doubted you. Please accept this as my apology—there are ten of millions of dollars in this account. Take it as a token of my sincerity.”His hands trembled slightly as he held out the card, the weight of his misjudgment evident in his downcast eyes.Knowing fully well he needs to build a good relationship with Raymond Now, because someone of his capability must be kept close.At that moment Raymond studied Zachary's face. For a brief second, he considered rejecting the money outright. He had no need for it. But then—A thought crossed his mind. Raymond suddenly remembered something. “Dahlia.” She had been forced to a

    For a long moment, the venue remained silent, as if the entire hall had yet to process what had just happened. Then—The silence shattered. The once-skeptical audience erupted into deafening applause. Doctors, healers, and esteemed medical figures rose to their feet, clapping with newfound respect to Raymond. Even those who had mocked Raymond earlier now watched him with awe, their expressions a mixture of shock, admiration, and fear. “Incredible…! I can't believe it! He defeated Kelly Bushman!” “Such power… such skill…” Their voices blended into a roar of praise.“In all my forty years of medicine, I've never witnessed such mastery,” called out an elderly doctor from the front row, his weathered hands trembling as he applauded.At that moment Dr. Damien, who had been defending Raymond from the start, felt his chest swell with pride, without being told he knew he made the right decision for wanting to learn under Raymond. His eyes shone, his hands trembling slightly as he applauded.
