***** After searching for a moment but seeing no other person who looked like they had spoken apart from Mark, all gazes were directed at Mark again. Nobody could talk for a brief moment, and then slowly, everybody exchanged blank gazes. “Did that… that homeless-looking boy did not just claim to have the ability to treat a person, did he?” “This… hahaha, what a joke.” “I will rather eat my shit than believe that someone like this, who resembles a person who had just been dehumanized for committing a theft is a doctor.” “What a fool?! Does he think we are joking here?” “The punk!” Everybody resumed discussion with a changed topic, having zero belief that Mark could do a single thing. Even the jade beauty, her revitalized expectancy instantly dashed, and her eyes became filled with hopelessness once again.“Grandfather, please, wake up! Wake up” She resumed shaking the old man while pleading for him. Like everybody else, her conclusion as soon as she saw Mark's appearance was
***** As soon as the words left Mark’s mouth, he was left aghast, as though he had never expected to utter such words.Literally, Mark was the one who had spoken, but it wasn’t out of his will, it was the arrogance of the high medical skill now present in his head that influenced and subconsciously let the words out of his mouth. After a moment of stupefaction, Mark’s face slowly returned to normal, since the question he just asked was nothing but the right thing to inquire. It was as though he had just spoken the most reasonable thing on earth. Nevertheless, nobody would react for a moment after he had spoken, and then very slowly, with a great shock, every head turned in Mark’s direction. Seeing that it was him, they gasped in astonishment. “It’s this beggar again,” someone mumbled, then before the old man, bodyguards, or the jade beauty could speak, they brought it upon themselves to act, trying to make the Jackson family owe them a favor. “Bastard, what did you just say?”
***** “This… this shouldn’t have happened. What’s going on exactly? I did exactly what I should have done!” The doctor became incredibly nervous in the blink of an eye and beads of sweat covered him as he watched his patient having a tremendous seizure while releasing a massive amount of foam from his mouth. Being a doctor, a high-level one at that, he shouldn’t have been that affected and he should have quickly thought of a solution, given how this wasn’t the first time a situation would get out of hand. He however failed to maintain his rationality once he recalled Mark’s words, together with what he was witnessing right now.He was greatly nervous and terrified.He started fidgeting around, not knowing what to do again.Meanwhile, watching her grandfather trembling hysterically as though he were about to kick the bucket, the jade beauty had become completely pale. She was so agitated that goosebumps had covered her skin. “My… why does my grandfather’s condition suddenly get wor
*****Everybody glanced at the jade beauty upon hearing her shout and they all frowned slightly, the doctor included. “Are you still going to let him stay and continue disturbing my work?” The Doctor asked with a cold scoff, but the lady didn’t look at him. “Can you really heal my grandfather?” She inquired, gazing at Mark who was about to resign to fate and give up on the mission when he realized that he was about to be thrown out, shocking everybody, Mark included, especially when he saw the slight hope in her eyes.“She… she didn’t just ask the hungry beggar that question, did she?” Even the doctor couldn’t control his shock again, then his mouth opened widely. Back to Mark. After a moment of astonishment, his face gradually returned to normal, then he slowly heaved in and out before finally scrutinizing the patient whose seizure was only increasing by the moment, to check whether he could still treat him.After a second, Mark nodded his head slightly with a look of certainty a
***** At first, nobody could understand what Mark was doing, since it just looked as though he was merely sticking out needles randomly on the patient’s body, but eventually, someone realized what was different and called out. “Why… why does it look as though an image of a dragon is appearing every time he is about to insert the needles? Could… could I have seen wrongly?’ “Huh…” Everybody was confused when they heard this person, causing them to quickly squint their eyes at what Mark was doing, but when they still ended up seeing nothing different from what they were seeing before, some people thought that the speaker had exaggerated greatly, causing them to glare at him. “Could it be that you are in partnership with that swindler?” One of the on-lookers glared. “That’s right, ‘cause I’m still looking for the dragon you said to have…” “Ah… I’ve seen it. I’ve really seen it. Look very well at the top of each needle. Dragon seemed to always appear for a brief second before disappe
*****The elderly doctor, looking incredibly excited at this moment sent a mockery gaze at the lady. “You decided to listen to the word of a scammer against mine and ridicule me, didn't you? Hehehe. I hope you will be able to handle the repercussions.” Stating this without any intention to hide his joy, the old man’s head rose and an arrogant expression appeared on his face. He turned around and was about to swagger away, acting as though nothing concerned him again, with only him knowing the huge amount of relief that had descended upon him right now. ‘My reputation is saved!’ This was what he was screaming in his mind when he saw the crowd that had been clamoring and screaming about how Mark had ended up taking the patient’s life after all his showoff suddenly went quiet, then acting as though they had seen a ghost or a dead waking up, they stared dumbstruck at their front. The old man was dazed about these expressions for a second, then his confusion even intensified when he co
***** “Where is the young man who you said to have treated me?” The old man, who was treated by Mark hurriedly asked his granddaughter after learning about everything that occurred when he was unconscious, well, most of the things that had happened, as his granddaughter had dared not to relay everything to him.As soon as the question landed, the gazes of the crowd who hadn’t dispersed began to turn around, hurriedly searching for Mark. They combed through the place repeatedly with their eyes before they slowly realized the disbelieving truth after failing to find even the slightest trace of Mark that he had actually left.Everybody was left dazed for some time after this realization.None of them could believe that someone like Mark would actually leave after doing such a meritorious deed of saving the life of one of the most powerful people in the city. They began to exchange blank gazes of shock before finally sighing heavily.“Looks like we’ve really wronged that person.” “Hm
*****“Has he caused damage to your body?” The doctor hurriedly inquired upon hearing the old man and seeing the look on his face.The old doctor appeared excited again as though that was the best news he would ever hear in a long time. As for the crowd, who like the doctor failed to hear what the old man had previously said to his granddaughter. they became quiet and didn’t know what to think, also assuming that Mark had done something wrong to his body, based on the expression on the old man’s face. However, in response to their question, the old man glanced in the old doctor’s direction, then his eyes became filled with coldness. “And you were furious about being called a quack doctor? Are you not a quack doctor now if you can't even know my current condition after being my personal doctor all these years?” “What?” The old doctor was dumbstruck upon hearing the ridiculing words thrown at him.As for the crowd, they gasped, but the old man didn't stop, instead, he continued matt
