“That said…”Before Saul Robbins could even say more, Harvey York had already waved his hand.“I know.“We’ll sit back for now.”“Now’s not the time for idle talk, everyone,” said Lochlan Anderson.“First, let me take a look at Grandma Bolton.”Azrael Bolton quickly nodded.“Right! Right this way!”Lochlan wasted no time bringing a group of assistants into the sick room.Every single corridor was filled with people.Harvey and Saul exerted a lot of effort just to reach the front.Lochlan had already checked for Grandma Bolton’s pulse.He thought he still had a chance to save her, but he was showing a horrible look with a frown.“I’ll be frank with you. I can try saving her…“But there’s less than twenty percent chance of her surviving.”‘Not even twenty percent?’The entire sick room was dead silent.Harvey frowned before he looked inside the sick room.A woman in her nineties was lying on the bed.She wore ordinary clothes then. She was occasionally showing a grimac
“That’s right. Grandma Bolton’s situation is out of the ordinary,” said Lochlan Anderson sternly.“I don’t have time to identify the poison. I have no choice but to pull it all out forcefully.“Her chances of surviving are slim if I do that.“But if I don’t, she’ll only last for the next three hours!“We won’t be able to find anything out with that short time.”Azrael Bolton froze after hearing Lochlan’s words.“Impossible!” he exclaimed while shaking his head with a trembling body.“My mother only has three hours left?!”The air immediately tensed. The medical experts were trembling in their boots, with cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.After all, it was their savior who said those words.They also wanted to ask for Oskar Armstrong’s help…But he would take three hours to travel all the way from Wolsing.It would be too late by then.Even if Oskar were on the line, there would still be no hope for Grandma Bolton.At this moment, the medical experts were trembling
Lochlan’s words were cruel; nobody would be able to accept such harsh facts.Despite that, nobody dared to question him.After all, Grandma Bolton’s life was at stake. Who would dare refute him?“No!”“There has to be some way!”“There has to be!”Azrael gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.“That suspect must’ve been bribed! She poisoned my mother!”“She knows how to save her!”“Bring her here right now!”“I’ll question her myself!”“If she doesn’t give the antidote, I’ll kill her!”“I’ll kill her entire family, too!”“I’ll dig up her ancestors’ corpses and burn them to a crisp!”If ordinary people said this, people would see it as showing off and nothing more. Even if princes and young masters said such a thing, no one would believe it.But when Azrael said it, it didn’t seem like an empty promise.Many of the prominent figures there were dead silent. They all trembled in their boots, as if they actually saw Azrael’s threats coming true.“You’re an adult, Mr. Bo
Another seemingly reputable doctor looked at Harvey coldly. “Who let him in here? Get him out!”“Security! Where’s security?”Naturally, he thought that Harvey was a patient from the psychiatry department.He was certain Harvey was out of his mind.Azrael came to his senses, and glared coldly at Harvey.‘How dare someone cause trouble right now?’‘Does he want to die?’Saul quickly stepped forward to explain the situation.“Mr. Bolton, I brought him here. His name is Harvey York.”“My wife, Cliff, Director Braff, Mr. Pagan, and Ms. Jackson were all saved by him.”After hearing his words, the crowd felt slightly relieved.Azrael froze. A hopeful look bloomed on his face.“Are you a doctor? Can you save my mother?”Harvey showed a faint smile after making sure of the situation.“I’m not a doctor.”Azrael’s face darkened instantly when he heard that.Before he could retort, Harvey continued.“But I can save your mother.”Azrael’s eyes twitched. He didn’t know what Har
“Of course not. It wouldn’t do anything good,” Harvey replied.“I’ll drag Grandma Bolton’s soul back using geomancy.”“That way, I’ll force her back to life.”“Huh?”“Geomancy?”“Are you serious?”Lochlan looked at him, bewildered.“Are you insane?”“How dare you say something like that here! Do you think Mr. Bolton is crazy enough to let you do anything here?”“I can assure you that he’s just a conman, Mr. Bolton!”“Get him out of here!”“Stop disturbing me from saving the patient!”Azrael’s face darkened; he didn’t think a conman would show up here, of all places.Then he remembered that Saul was the one who brought Harvey here, and he hesitated.Judging from the relationship between the Hermit Families, Saul definitely wouldn’t bring Harvey here if Harvey wasn’t actually capable.Harvey ignored Lochlan’s outburst and looked at Grandma Bolton, his face grim. “If I’m guessing correctly, Mr. Anderson.”“You’re planning to stick three needles in Grandma Bolton’s body.”
“Harvey…”“No, no! Master York!”“You really are impressive! As expected from the man Mr. Robbins brought!”“I was ignorant just now. I apologize!”Lochlan quickly bowed.“Judging from what you’ve said, there should be a sixty percent chance of bringing Grandma Bolton back.”“Why would you still use geomancy despite that?”“I’m not doubting you. I just don’t understand…”Harvey smiled.“Since you’re an Eastern medical expert, you should know that martial arts are usually involved.”“Martial arts are deeply connected to geomancy arts.”“The traditions of Country H are never solitary.”“The chances of your needle techniques being related to geomancy are highly likely.”“In my eyes, you’re trying to do the same thing as me.”“Your way is just a little less effective.”“After all, Grandma Bolton has the Soul Drift.”“Food poisoning is just a front.”‘Soul Drift?!’Everyone froze after hearing those words.Lochlan’s expression turned awful. In Eastern medicine, that nam
Harvey wasted no time taking out some paper and cinnabar to make a talisman.After seeing his fluid movements, the crowd brushed off their initial shock.They thought that he only got lucky to get Lochlan’s confidence.‘Can he really save someone using geomancy?’A lot of people couldn’t believe it.Some of the doctors had puzzled expressions.‘Soul Drift?!’‘He isn’t just saving her at this point!’‘He’s fighting against death itself!’Harvey quickly drew five talismans, then looked at Grandma Bolton. He closed and reopened his eyes, and his aura changed completely.Azrael and the others could feel his fierce aura, as if he could change reality as he pleased.Tap, tap, tap!Harvey quickly flung the talismans away.They landed right on the spots he had named before.He burned the cinnabar in his hand into flames, and flicked it toward the talismans, lighting them up instantly.The crowd gasped as they watched. Everything looked just like a movie!They couldn’t believe
After dealing with Grandma Bolton’s predicament, Harvey was completely exhausted. Saving lives was a lot more tiring than killing.However, Azrael and Lochlan were eager to invite him out.Harvey had no choice but to agree, but he needed a change of clothes, since he was drenched in his own sweat.More importantly, he needed to tell Mandy that Lilian was fine.Harvey called a cab and headed back to the Zimmer family villa.Everyone was gathered inside.Aside from the Zimmer family, Gabriel and Avery were there too.Even Silas showed up shamelessly, disregarding what he had done before.They looked horrible—they didn’t know that Lilian had been freed.Harvey was confused. He had already told Saul to ask for Soren’s help, but somehow, Lilian was still locked up.Simon was furious to see Harvey come home late.“Harvey!”“Why are you still outside when the family’s in such big trouble? At least help us out!”“I can’t believe we actually got a live-in son-in-law like you! What
