But the fact was that the pill he gave them proved to have phenomenal effects so he was curious as to where he got the pill from. “Ava listen to your Uncle Martin. Sophia’s condition is of utmost importance. We should get him here to see what information he is able to provide us” Diana urged. “Alright.” Ava nodded reluctantly. Over at the Medical Center Henry made himself a pot of tea when he got back. He poured a cup for himself and another for Jonathan. Jonathan took his tea respectfully. Henry and Jonathan had known each other for years but they had never had tea together before. “Mister Brown didn’t you say that you need the Auric root? Have you given up on it already?” Jonathan asked curiously when he saw how laid back Henry was. “Of course not! I’m just waiting for the right opportunity.” Henry sipped on his tea. “The right opportunity?” Jonathan found it difficult to understand what Henry was implying. “According to what I observed yesterday. Sophia will be experiencin
“How is it? Can you cure her?” Martin asked skeptically. “It’s a bit tricky but I can do it.” Henry nodded. “Alright then I’ll let you have a go. But bear in mind if anything happens to my daughter I’ll see that you pay for it severely!” Martin threatened. “Don’t worry I know what I’m doing.” Just as Henry took out a needle and was about to apply it a roar sounded at the door. “Hold it!” “Stop whatever you’re doing!” The voice bellowed. Owen Reed strode in imposingly and shouted “Uncle Martin we do not know this man! We cannot let him put Sophia’s life at risk!” “I understand that you’re worried for Sophia, Owen. But we do not have any better alternatives now. He is our only hope.” Martin shook his head. “Who says we have not got any better alternatives? See who I brought!” Owen gestured dramatically and directed everyone’s attention to the entrance. In came a podgy old man dressed in a loose green robe. He made his way confidently. “Dr. Oliver?” There was an instant uproar
He then took out several needles and swiftly inserted them into Sophia’s skin on her nape her navel below her knees on the base of her feet and on her back. His movements were so swift and executed with such ease and skill that his audience was left in awe. By the time his needles were all in place wisps of cold air slowly came out of Sophia’s limbs. “And for the last one!” Oliver produced a needle that was thicker and longer than the rest and inserted it straight on top of Sophia’s head. Soon a great deal of mist emerged from all over Sophia’s skin. For a brief moment everyone in the room was surrounded by an eerie chill. “Alright the coldness is now expelled. It won’t be long now before the patient comes around” Oliver declared confidently. “No wonder you’re a world–renowned miracle healer. Your acupuncture therapy is just plain magical!” Martin exclaimed excitedly. His gloom and anxiety from earlier on were swept away in an instant. “That’s right! With Dr. Oliver around an
“Buddy please try your best to save her. No matter what the outcome is, we can take it!” Diana looked at him with resoluteness, her mind made up and ready to face any consequences. “I can help her but when I’m done I hope Mister Patel will deliver on his end of the promise.” Henry approached Sophia who was still unconscious on her bed and helped her sit up. With just one hand he applied needles at 13 different pressure points on Shella’s body. His technique was extraordinary.When the 13 needles began to rotate on the spot in the pressure points he gave Sophia a strong smack on the back. Sophia wavered, her head jerked upwards and she spat several white crystals which landed on the ground with a resounding thunk. The crystals were a murky white color and gave off a bone–chilling mist. “The coldness has crystallized?” Oliver’s expression was one of disbelief. No wonder his acupuncture served no purpose. It turns out that the coldness that Sophia’s body had been absorbing over the
“Who else but me?” Owen made his way in haughtily. He had in his hands a small red wooden box that held the Auric root. “Hey buddy! Uncle Martin’s given me the Auric root. It’s mine now!” Owen patted the box smugly with a Sneer. “So what if the rascal stole the limelight today? Ultimately I’m the one who benefited from it! At the end of the day he’s just a lowly peasant!” Owen thought. “Martin Patel! You are an influential person with high social standing and you carry the honor of the Patel family with you! How could you go back on your words and betray someone who has helped you? Are you not afraid that you’d be ridiculed?” Henry slammed his hand on the table and stood up. He was truly angry. He could understand Martin’s previous change of mind as it was a matter pertaining to his daughter’s health condition. Oliver had a reputation for having great expertise in his field which naturally made him more deserving of trust on Martin’s end. But now it was a different case altogethe
Few days later at the medical center, Mia and Henry were having a discussion amongst themselves. The two chatted about many things until Mia suddenly spoke up.“Henry I need a favor from you.” “What is it?” Henry asked suspiciously. “I’m going to a reunion with some of my classmates later can you come with me and be my bodyguard?” Mia was very straightforward. “The Philip family has so many bodyguards why do you need me? I’m not interested” Henry refused. “How can those men compare to you? Well to be honest with you there’s a really annoying guy among my classmates who’s been pursuing me. I told him I have a boyfriend but he doesn’t believe me. That’s why I need you to come along.” Mia pouted. “In conclusion you’re just using me as an excuse! That makes me even less interested.” Henry shrugged. “Hey! I consider you a friend and you won’t even help me with this small matter? Where’s your loyalty?” Mia had a displeased expression on her face. “What do you mean? Don’t talk nonsens
“With Mister Sebastian’s identity and abilities he is in the spotlight wherever he goes. A loser like you can never compare to him!” “Oh so what?” “Hey can’t you say anything else?” “Oh so what?” The girl in yellow rolled her eyes. Her face turned red with anger and disgust. It was so damn infuriating to talk to this guy! “Punk you’ve got a sharp tongue but what good does it do? You will always be inferior to me in every way. In the face of my complete dominance sweet talk and flattery will get you nowhere!” Sebastian sneered. “Oh so what?” Henry retorted. “You…” Sebastian’s mouth twitched feeling annoyed. Damn it why was this punk repeating the same sentence over and over again? Couldn’t they have a decent conversation? Just as they were talking they were interrupted by a commotion outside the door. “Stop right there! This place has been booked for another event. Everyone who is not involved please leave-!” “Surround them! Don’t let anyone escape!” Amidst curdling screams
“He only knows how to talk big but he’s actually just a coward!” “What a wimp disgusting loser!” Remaining silent would have been better for Henry as anything he said only led to contempt. “Punk it’s obvious that you don’t have the guts nor the ability to fight. Why pretend to be tough? If you kneel down and beg. I might teach you a few moves so you won’t wet yourself from fear the next time.” Sebastian sneered. “If you’re so capable then take down those two behind you first.” Henry pointed his chin to the door. Sebastian turned around in surprise and saw that there were indeed two more people. Both of them were bald one dressed in green and the other in black. They were muscular and burly men with fierce eyes and bulging biceps. “Oh! Who are these two men who don’t fear death?” Sebastian smirked scornfully. “Was it you who injured our men?” The bald man in green spoke first. “Yes it’s me. What are you going to do about it? What do you want to have a laste of my roundhouse ki
