“If we could guess, why would we bother asking you?”The two of them were practically beside themselves with curiosity.“It’s a pay raise.”“They said we did an excellent job hosting Mr. Joseph this time.”“Headquarters has decided to increase the salary of everyone involved in the reception by fifteen percent.”Manager Howard announced, barely containing his delight.“Wow—a raise? That’s even better than a bonus. This is amazing!”“Hey, Old Hu, does that include us at the front desk too?”The two receptionists cheered, yet couldn’t help asking.“Of course it includes you. Didn’t I say everyone involved?”Howard replied.“Wow, that’s fantastic!”“A raise—this is incredible!”The two were overjoyed.“On top of that, there should also be a one-time bonus.”“But the exact amount hasn’t been decided yet.”Howard added.“A bonus too?”“Headquarters is being incredibly generous.”“Is Mr. Joseph really that important?”They were astonished.“His status is one thing, but more importantly, he’

Just as before, after entering the suite, Joseph headed straight for a shower.A full day on the road had left him somewhat dusty.Joseph liked to keep himself clean—not out of any obsessive habit, but simply by nature.By the time he finished his shower and emerged refreshed, the table had already been laid out with an array of dishes.To be honest, after days of hearty meals, Joseph was not particularly hungry.Life in the mountains, while not lavish, still provided more than enough in terms of food and necessities.After finishing his meal, Joseph dismissed the staff.He then closed the door and took out another communication device—one Neil Foster had prepared for him.It operated on a highly secure channel.Before long, someone answered on the other end.“Hello, Young Master?”Neil Foster’s voice came through the device.“It’s me.”Joseph replied.At that moment, another voice followed, tinged with urgency.“Young Master, how are things? Is everything proceeding smoothly?”It was

As Eugene Wilson’s disciple, Joseph’s capabilities spoke for themselves.Dragging back a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds single-handedly was no feat an ordinary person could accomplish.To regard Joseph as anything ordinary would be a grave misjudgment.Within the bounds of Mystic Medical Valley, the environment was not only rich with game in the mountains, but its rivers and lakes teemed with plump fish and shellfish.Joseph spent the entire afternoon wandering along nearby rivers and lakes with the children. When they returned, they carried two baskets brimming with fish, along with shrimp, turtles, and an assortment of freshwater delicacies.Once again, Joseph left everyone in awe.His abundant harvest not only gave the children a feast to remember, but also treated the entire village to a rare bounty.By evening, every household brought out their finest dishes and best wine to share. The atmosphere was lively and filled with laughter.Unsurprisingly, Kim Frederick broke

“It’s good that you can see it that way.”“Your master didn’t leave behind much. I’ve given you everything.”“As for Seventeen—he’s safest with me. To put it bluntly, even if you fail in your greater pursuits, the Wilson family will still have his bloodline.”“I’ll raise him well and see that he carries on your legacy.”Kim Frederick continued.“Alright.”Joseph let out a quiet breath.“Sir, give me a moment.”Joseph suddenly rose and headed to his room.Before long, he returned with several items in hand.“This is the Dragon Seal my master left behind. I’ll leave it with you.”“And here’s some cash—not much, just a few tens of thousands. Keep it as well, for your daily expenses.”As he spoke, Joseph handed the Dragon Seal to Kim Frederick and set the cash on the table.“I’ll keep the Dragon Seal. After all, it’s something your master left—it serves as a keepsake.”“But the money, I must decline.”“I have many disciples, and they’ve all done quite well for themselves outside. Over the

“Shall we heat up the remaining dishes and meat and have another drink?”Kim Frederick asked tentatively.“If you’re in the mood, sir, I’ll gladly join you.”Joseph replied, already moving to prepare a few dishes to accompany the wine.“Nicole, bring out my wine.”The old man called toward the house.“Master, you’re drinking again?”Nicole Kim’s reluctant voice came from inside.“It’s a rare occasion—your Uncle Wilson is here. Let your master indulge for just one more night.”There was a hint of pleading in Kim Frederick’s tone.“Fine. But after tonight, no more drinking for the rest of the week.”Nicole said, carrying out a jar of fine wine.Before long, Joseph had reheated a few dishes and set them on the table.For an evening drink, a handful of simple dishes was more than enough.“Joseph, go fetch three cups and three sets of bowls and chopsticks.”Kim Frederick added.“Alright.”Joseph went at once.“Sir, are we expecting another guest?”Joseph asked curiously.“No.”“This extra

Kim Frederick studied Joseph’s prescription with great care, a pipe in hand as he smoked thoughtfully, utterly absorbed.It seemed he was not merely reading, but reflecting as well.“Excellent, truly excellent.”“A prescription may be fixed, but an experienced physician knows how to adapt it to the patient’s condition.”“You’ve adjusted this formula with insight and originality.”“And those who dare to alter established prescriptions are people of conviction. I didn’t expect someone so young to possess such resolve.”“To build upon what is given and yet reshape it—that shows you are not someone who studies blindly.”After finishing, the old man spoke with clear admiration.It was evident he was highly satisfied.“Master, I’ve seen this prescription before, but Uncle Wilson has made some modifications to it. That really takes skill—and courage.”Myers Paula remarked, equally impressed.“That is what conviction looks like. When your abilities reach his level, you too will have the confi
