"Madam Cooper, it has been a while."

"Professor Wilson, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"Professor Wilson, I’m here to support you today—I can’t wait to see you in action."

"Professor Wilson, you must visit our home more often. My granddaughter, Lindsay, talks about you every day! She constantly asks me to invite you over for academic discussions. I told her, ‘He’s your teacher—you can just invite him yourself!’ But the moment I said that, she turned red as a tomato. That girl—she’s just too shy!"

After greeting the old lady, the four men immediately turned their attention to Joseph, surrounding him warmly. Philip Anderson, in particular, clutched Joseph’s hand and showed no intention of letting go, speaking with animated enthusiasm—especially when mentioning his granddaughter, his excitement only grew.

Fiona’s expression turned oddly unreadable as she listened.

Heidi tilted her head, blinking at Joseph with a playful glint in her eyes.

"This…" Maria Long stood stiffly in pl

    "Joseph, how would you like to proceed? Should we go directly to the old master’s room?" the old lady asked, turning to Joseph.Before Joseph could respond, Charles Martin spoke up."Madam, I require a spacious area to treat the old master. First, it gives me more space to work. Second, with everyone watching, we can ensure that no one has any ulterior motives regarding the old master’s condition," Charles Martin stated self-righteously."Joseph, what do you think?" the old lady asked again."I agree with Professor Martin. A larger space would certainly be more convenient for treatment. Besides, there’s nothing private about this procedure—any open area will do," Joseph replied calmly."In that case, you’ll conduct the treatment in the main hall. This house has a front hall, a back hall, and the main hall—the main hall is the largest. Bring the old master’s bed there," the old lady instructed."Understood, Madam." The servants immediately set about carrying out her orders."Alvarez, i

    "A draw? With you? No thanks," Joseph smirked. "But if that’s how you want to console yourself, be my guest.""Joseph, quit bluffing. If you’re so capable, then why didn’t you wake the old master up all those years you spent in the Cooper family?" Martin pressed."Because I forgot," Joseph replied matter-of-factly.A burst of laughter erupted through the hall."Forgot? Hahaha… What kind of excuse is that? Does he think we’re idiots?""I used to think he was impressive for landing a teaching position at Nova University, but now I’m starting to suspect he conned his way in.""A loser is still a loser. At least come up with a better excuse than ‘I forgot.’""I’ve been saying this all along—Joseph is nothing but a fraud. I have no idea how he managed to associate with those prestigious experts.""Who knows? Probably through more deception."The murmurs and ridicule spread throughout the hall, the voices loud enough for everyone to hear.Philip Anderson furrowed his brows. Leaning slightly

    "Professor Martin, have you found anything?" Joseph pressed again."I… I need to administer an IV!" Charles Martin suddenly declared, as if grasping at straws.The crowd exchanged confused glances. Joseph’s brow furrowed slightly.Before anyone could question him, Charles quickly retrieved a set of injections from his medical kit."Dr. Martin, you say you need to administer an IV. What exactly are you injecting?" Tristan Flores stepped forward and grabbed Charles’s wrist firmly."Who the hell are you? What does it matter to you?" Charles Martin snapped, his eyes bloodshot, his composure slipping."Old Mr. Cooper’s body is completely normal—there is nothing wrong with him. The only IV he should be receiving is a standard nutritional drip. But I assume that’s not what you’re about to inject, is it?" Tristan’s voice was sharp, his gaze severe. "I, too, am trained in modern medicine. Tell me—what exactly are you administering?"Charles Martin hesitated before stammering, "I-It’s Ozagrel S

    "Hand me a set of standard silver needles," Joseph requested.Without hesitation, Richard Anderson complied."Professor Wilson, just focus on your work. I'll keep an eye on this guy—he has no medical knowledge, and I don’t want him messing up as your assistant. If I had known, I would have brought Lindsay along." Philip Anderson stood nearby, watching intently."I appreciate it, Mr. Anderson," Joseph said."Professor Wilson, let me assist you. I’m strong and steady—I won’t fumble," Leonard Sanchez offered enthusiastically.Joseph considered it for a moment and then nodded. Leonard Sanchez was indeed an experienced hand.The spectators found the scene increasingly perplexing. Both Philip Anderson and Leonard Sanchez—renowned experts and esteemed professors—were willing to assist Joseph? Just how skilled was this man?"Mr. Wilson, if I let go of the old man’s head, it’ll just drop down again. I can’t keep holding it like this forever," Alvarez remarked."Professor Sanchez, hand me a box

    "Is that it? I expected something more dramatic.""Not even a twitch. I thought this was supposed to be impressive?""Acupuncture has been tried before—it didn’t work then either."The room buzzed with subdued cynicism, skepticism evident in every hushed remark."Joseph, is that all? You don’t seem that remarkable after all," Charles Martin sneered, seizing the opportunity to mock him."What’s the rush? I still have one last needle," Joseph remarked, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips as he picked up the final, larger needle.All eyes locked onto it.Philip Anderson and Leonard Sanchez tensed.Leonard simply sensed that something monumental was about to happen, while Philip Anderson recalled Joseph’s earlier words—he had mentioned that the final needle would stimulate the Mid-Spinal Acupoint.Was the moment finally here?Philip Anderson stared unblinkingly at Joseph’s hands, unwilling to miss even a second of what was to come.Then, in a decisive motion, Joseph drove the

    But she quickly pushed aside her thoughts, shifting her full attention back to her grandfather.Under Joseph's careful guidance, the old man obediently swished the water in his mouth and spat it out. He repeated this process over a dozen times until all traces of the dark blood had been cleansed from his lips."Heidi, give him some water to drink," Joseph instructed.Seeing the old man’s condition gradually improving, Heidi carefully followed Joseph's directions, helping him sip the warm water.The old man drank slowly at first, his movements deliberate. But eventually, he finished the entire bowl.A subtle change took place.His once-dull eyes grew clearer, sharper—even tinged with something akin to authority."Cough… cough… Life is but a fleeting moment, like a white horse passing through a gap.

    "Stop crying. Crying won’t solve anything. I need silence." Joseph’s voice was sharp, his patience worn thin by the sobbing. He cast a cold glance at Fiona, his tone carrying unmistakable authority. Fiona flinched at his words, quickly wiping her tears away. She dared not make another sound, merely standing aside, watching in silence. "Brother-in-law, if there’s anything you need me to do, just say the word." Heidi’s face was tense, but she remained composed compared to Fiona. Although old Mr. Cooper had coughed up a significant amount of blood, Heidi firmly believed that Joseph would have a way to handle it. "Find a fan—one that can be used manually. The old man needs air." Joseph issued his instructions with precision. "Got it." Without hesitation, Heidi hurried off to complete the task. "Dr. Wilson, old Mr. Cooper’s condition seems to be caused by an acute surge of blood pressure due to emotional distress. Is there anything we can do to assist?" Philip Anderson stepped f

    "Dr. Martin, you may leave now. Or are you waiting for the old man to break your legs?" The matriarch’s voice was cold as she glanced at Charles Martin, who stood frozen in place. "Uh… oh! Yes, of course! I’ll leave now!" Charles Martin stammered, snapping back to reality. He hurriedly prepared to leave. "Wait a moment, Dr. Martin." Richard Anderson suddenly called out. Charles Martin hesitated, turning back in confusion. He didn’t recall having any conflict with Richard Anderson. "Dr. Martin, I’m Mr. Anderson from Nova City’s Health Bureau. Based on your actions today, I have serious doubts about your medical ethics and professional integrity. We will launch an investigation and consider revoking your medical license." Richard Anderson’s voice was stern. "I—" Charles Martin opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to defend himself. "You may leave now. If you have anything to say, take it up with the Health Bureau." Richard Anderson dismissed him coldly. Charles Mart
