"What happened?"

"Damn... did God Physician Daniel Meng make a mistake?"

"This is truly an absurd incident!"

Daniel Meng's face instantly turned ugly.

The youngster he had just treated with silver needle therapy suddenly showed a worsening condition, not improving as he had hoped. "Where did the silver needle technique go wrong just now?"

Daniel Meng's mind worked so quickly that he immediately unrolled the acupuncture needles in his hands, now getting ready to perform the therapy again.

"I hope it works this time." Isn't failure in medicine often the case? And this is what is called 'Terminally Ill.'

Daniel Meng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had found an excuse if this Martin Lewis were to die.

Although no one was paying attention, Daniel Meng couldn't help but feel his hands trembling as he continued the needling therapy. The writing had moved, appearing to tremor slightly.

"Stop!"

Everyone was stunned.

The young man who had been idly watching suddenly spoke up. Suddenl

    Taylor decided to carry out his plan this morning after thinking it over for the entire night. Muttering to himself, he examined his look in the mirror."Do I look presentable enough, like a young master, to buy a house in the elite Rivermouth Gate Community?"Taylor hurried out, satisfied with his reflection in the glass.The Lockhart family was one of the wealthiest families in Accomont and the owners of the prestigious Rivermouth Gate Community housing development.The dwelling types in Rivermouth Gate Community are categorized into multiple grades or levels.Middle class or middle class is the first. There are numerous public and public transportation options accessible from the strategic position. The upper middle class is a class even higher. The Ultra Luxury class is the highest, followed by the Luxury class.The latter class's description typically includes a long list of opulent house amenities, like helipads and premium memberships.Taylor had been in communication with Dais

    Taylor sat behind Joey Woods in the electric car, and Daisy sat in the back. A little breeze caressed their faces as the sun shone straight overhead, resulting in a cozy atmosphere. Their trek gained some cooling from the luxuriant foliage. Taylor extolled the virtues of Rivermouth Gate to himself."This is a very private place, and everything seems to have been carefully planned. Taylor remarked quietly, "The road feels naturally planted, as though it has been there for decades.After hearing Taylor's response, Joey said, "Of course," without showing much concern. The third-richest person in all of Accomont Metro City, the Lockhart Company, is in charge of managing the complex. Over the years of constructing this enormously opulent edifice, they will not let their devoted patrons down."Joey sounded proud, maybe a little too much. Taylor was aware that the Smith Company was the owner of one or more of the other affluent families' top properties, in addition to Lockhart's. Nevertheles

    “You're entirely correct, Mr. Alchemist. The real estate and housing company at Green Hills Estate is just one of the various business ventures of Our Lewis Company," Thomas Lewis remarked modestly.Taylor is unsure. He only had contact with the Lewis Family during the divine pill auction; they were among the purchasers at the Jade Resort. It seemed like a lot given the circumstances.Thomas Lewis, though, held a different opinion.Observing the hesitancy on Taylor's countenance, he blurted out, "So, Mr. Alchemist, why are you looking so quickly? Would you like to see our Green Hills Estate, if that's okay? If we take the interstate, it won't be too far from the city center—just fifteen minutes."After hearing Thomas Lewis's graciousness, Taylor let go of his nervousness. He asked, "Daisy, do you have time?" as he cast a glance at him. Mr. Thomas Lewis has consented to show us their Green Hills Estate apartment building. I believe this is a great chance for us to visit my family's res

    That night, Taylor gained unexpected confidence. Despite having no prior knowledge of the game of golf, he instantly possessed a deep comprehension.Taylor laughed out loud, absorbing in the new understanding of golfers' balanced stance and posture that magically came in his head."Takeaway is the initial phase, with calm and controlled movements. Backswing, lifting the club behind the head to the highest point. Downswing, Impact, and Follow-through," Taylor duplicates every movement, even without gripping the golf club. Every shot feels steady, like a seasoned pro.However, his excitement soon vanished when he discovered that he didn't have any particular clothes for golf."No clubs!" he screamed."And not even a polo shirt, jacket, sweater, or anything like golf gloves, hat, goggles, or even golf shoes!"Panic set in for Taylor. He didn't want to look out of place when he arrived at the golf course, looking like someone from the countryside who had never seen the outside world.With

    With a haughty appearance, Zack Lockhart disregarded the no-smoking regulations while puffing on a cigar. With his sophisticated black Armani suit, Zack exuded sophistication. Daniel Meng, on the other hand, accompanied him while casting a misanthropic glance around the premises."Zack Lockhart! How come you're here? You're not allowed to be in our exclusive club, and smoking is against the rules! I'll take measures to evict you and disgrace you if you don't go!" Bobby Lewis spoke with genuine rage. His face flushed, making it obvious that he didn't like having the CEO of Lockhart Company around.With a condescending tone, Zack Lockhart simply rolled his eyes and asked, "What would you do if I came over on purpose? Will you remove me from here?"The CEO of Lockhart Company unexpectedly snatched up a stunning flower vase that was a Tang Dynasty artifact and was about a meter tall. Zack kicked it mercilessly.ANG!Eight huge portions of the vase broke apart, with the remaining pieces fa

    Zack Lockhart stopped walking when he heard Taylor speak. He aimed to attack Daniel Meng."All of this is due to a mistake in setting up the feng shui formation. I saw that the feng shui formation you made brought in excessive chi flow. A feng shui formation needs chi, but opening up too much space for chi flow is bad!"Silence!"Too much energy and too much of it, and that's what happened recently!" Taylor said with a smile.Hearing Taylor's explanation, CEO Lockhart's face turned ugly. Without hesitation, he turned his head towards Daniel Meng.In this case, the Lockhart Company had disbursed much money for the feng shui information fee that Daniel Meng was serving.It wasn't just cash that he had received, but also a unit of a super-luxury house in an ultra-luxury area that was given away for free. Not to mention the facility of using a private plane that flies daily back and forth to the city of Brandon, so, if the feng shui formation provided by Daniel Meng was bad or too much, w

    The golf match that CEO Bobby Lewis had promised was, in fact, just a discussion between himself and Taylor. Bobby Lewis started the talk, taking care not to offend anyone."Alchemist, Mr. I have something I'd want to give you. I am aware that you are not a person in need. Your line of work undoubtedly generates a lot of extra cash. But let me, Bobby Lewis, to respectfully extend to you an offer of a very luxurious apartment in this Green Hills Estate complex."Astonished! Everyone fell silent, Daisy included.Abruptly, the automobile exited the golf course area through a hidden entrance that was only accessible by the owner or his family. And without realizing it, they came to a stop at the estate's opulent, magnificent-looking home.Bobby Lewis proudly stepped out of the electric vehicle and asked Taylor to have a look.

Austin himself even came to take Edward up.At first, the true reason Edward Morse and Austin left was unknown. However, within the opulent McGill family party hall, murmurs started to surface, and rumors swiftly spread. Edward Morse had a person standing near to him. He lifted an ear to listen in on Austin and Edward's talk."It appears that CEO Erricson is experiencing intense rage! "It appears that the renowned Alchemist made a significant error."

    It was a fact that Joseph Hodges was enthralled by Taylor's painstakingly detailed notes on the winemaking formula. The fermentation needed for their basic pilot studies was far less than that of most wineries' typical procedure. It took only hours to ferment using Taylor's recipe, which is an amazing accomplishment. Following his admiring taste of the fermented flavors, Joseph Hodges exclaimed, "This is a wonder of the world that I've only encountered once!" With a deep respect and curious expression, Joseph Hodges stated, "I don't know what the secret behind this is, but the recipe you gave me triggers the Saccharomyces cerevisiae to work rapidly." Joseph Hodges shakes the white liquid, takes a gulp, then shuts his eyes. It's quite smooth, although the alcohol content is significant. He exclaimed, "The taste is comparable to a comparable product from a reputable company that has been aged for five years." Joseph Hodges said, "With all due respect, Miss Amanda, I am very impresse

    The Product Trial

    For someone who was about to become wealthy, like Zack Lockhart, it was simple to set up a food or beverage factory. The company's wine production activities were simple as long as a business license was secured. Zack Lockhart, the CEO and third richest person in Accomont City, controls a substantial amount of real estate, encompassing anything from homes and stores to grand office buildings. Finding a structure to house a factory is therefore not difficult. A number of structures were identified as factories that were not utilized in the growth of Lockhart Pharmaceutical. Furthermore, all of the factory's equipment—which is mostly used to produce drugs—was readily available and just required to be installed in accordance with the requirements and operations of the facility. On the third day following the meeting with Amanda Lockhart, there was a phone call. With a slight smile on his lips, Taylor gazed at the call on his mobile phone screen. "Amanda Lockhart?" he asked himself in

    The Final Scene.

    Callum Ma did not show any symptoms of giving up when the Electric Power Stick was aimed at him. Throughout the entire Accomont City, he was regarded as a crafty, sly, and ingenious young master. After all, he had often escaped the jaws of death thanks to his cleverness. He was looking at the flare of electricity at the end of Simon McGills' stick at this critical moment, trying to figure out how to get out of his jam. Still, he doesn't realize that where he is right now is like an egg waiting to be smashed against a hard stone. Simon McGills is an unforgiving man. Simon McGills was a cruel guy, despite his outwardly refined appearance. He had studied the art of pouring tea, which needed a high level of artistry and noble character. He would not think twice about exacting retribution on anyone who had harmed him or his family. Following his breakup with Mrs. Lana McGills of Awrossa Town, Simon harbors hurt and resentment toward everyone he has never let out. Currently, the only in

    The ambiance of the Purnama Coffee Shop on the corner of Accomont City abruptly shifted when every customer fell silent. Nothing could be heard, and the air appeared to freeze. They had all been berating Taylor loudly earlier. They declared Taylor to be a fraud who never had his degree from the Pharmacy Institute. Still, he presented himself as an alchemist. They contended that it was nonsensical for Taylor to go up against Edward Morse, the Awrossa City Alchemist with an A rating.In the meantime, Callum Ma, who appeared to be passing out after losing a wager against Simon McGills, was not. Callum Ma orchestrated this entire deception in order to deceive others around him.Callum Ma stepped quickly in quiet.

    Simon McGills' face turned angry when the crowd insulted Taylor. "How could a young kid from a bankrupt home become an alchemist? He was later expelled from Accomont University and never finiHed his education at the pharmacy department there. One of the patrons at the coffee shop made fun of someone by saying, "You can't make up stories that don't make sense!" "If it's true that Taylor, the son of Robert McGills, is an alchemist, then show me proof of one of his creations that has gained notoriety in Accomont City," said another. I'll stake you $20,000 on Taylor having no achievements at all and having duped the CEO of Lockhart Company into accepting his word!" a young man spoke with assurance. Callum Ma was the name of the young man. Callum Ma was the youthful apprentice of a prosperous Accomont City plastics manufacturer owner.

    Underground Gossip

    The day following Taylor and Amanda Lockhart's furious altercation, a Lockhart Pharmaceuticals representative was hustling around the Accomont Municipal Office. With serious expressions and intense focus, they handled a variety of private corporate letters and permits, almost as they were doing a challenging problem. The Lockhart Company's operations were undoubtedly observed by other businesses, particularly the Erricson Company. The business community in Accomont City had started to believe something was being prepared ever since the Erricson Company hired an Alchemist from Awrossa City to work directly under CEO Abraham Erricson. The expectation in the city seemed to resonate through the air. "Hi, Ma'am Manager. I recently seen a Lockhart Company officer enter my workplace. It appears that he is handling a company's licensing. To you, is this news significant?" The voice on the phone was that of a spy. Whereas Manager Ma worked as a manager at Erricson Pharmaceutical Company, he

    David Michel and Melissa Erricson exited the opulent and esteemed Asian restaurant after their meeting. The room's atmosphere instantly returned to its previous warm and inviting state; it no longer felt as hot and strained as it had when they were still there. But Taylor could see right through Amanda Lockhart's apparent earnest attempts to keep a composed demeanor. A wave of restlessness washed over her, and a foggy cloud continued to loom over her face, suggesting that she might still harbor anxiety. When Taylor saw this, he sympathized. In an attempt to ease any ice that might still be a touch stiff, he grabbed the initiative right away and began discussing the project he would be working on with the Lockhart Company. "Miss Amanda," Taylor remarked in a kind and gentle voice, "I'm thinking of a fresh notion, one that the Erricson Company might not have considered in its partnership with Alchemist Edward Morse. I still have my doubts, though. Is the Lockhart Company open to assis
