Under thousands of watching eyes, the eleven lightly seared needles began oozing out clots of stale blood.
It looked as if eleven tiny worms were crawling down the needles, dispersing into the water, surfacing and dissolving. The elder felt no pain, only some itchiness.
Before their very eyes, his leg rapidly shrank in size. The bruises faded, deflated. A large amount of blood stasis was quickly cleared, gradually healing.
"Ah? It...it really works! The pain is gone, my leg feels lighter too. A divine doctor indeed, truly mystical medicine!" The elder
The hundred over renowned doctors were also incensed, just waiting for a chance to settle scores with Jason. They glared and said angrily: "Enjoying yourself, brat? Will you listen to the divine doctors or yourself? You think you're some grandmaster? Mystical medical skills and merciful heart?"Seeing he had provoked anger, Jason acted innocent: "Did I ever claim to be the grandmaster you speak of?""Hmph, getting arrogant now that we're giving you face? Still daring to overreach? Defiling the grandmaster's name? What are you? How dare you falsely take his place? Courting death!" The doctors erupte
Under Aaron's urgency, Jason first carefully observed his complexion and made a diagnosis. Nodding in understanding, he casually explained: "Your condition is from over-indulgence, causing imbalance in yin and yang energies and damaging your body, rupturing kidney qi.""In short, the kidneys are ruptured. Like a leaky funnel, no matter how much is poured in, it cannot be retained. Kidney-tonifying pills are not ineffective, but their effects are lost, unable to accumulate."Hearing this, Dennis Campbell and Jerry Parker were enlightened, but their expressions quickly changed as they cried out in shock: "Kidney rupture? Then...then it can't be cured no matter what!"In Chinese medicine, this was a notoriously difficult condition. External illnesses were easy to treat, but internal damage was as hard as scaling the heavens. And kidney rupture was one of the most difficult!"What? In...incurable? You're...you're divine doctors, how can you not cure a measly illness like this?" Aaron exc
But unbeknownst to them, Jason just wanted to hurry home before Susan misunderstood further. Samuel's beautiful eyes flickered, seemingly stirred. But Dennis Campbell shook his head wryly upon seeing this: "Girl, don't think too much. World-renowned figures like Master Uncle surely won't lack women around him.""You... alright, we're just not a match!" Samuel tightly bit her rosy lips, disappointment flashing in her eyes. She naturally understood and could only bury these feelings deeply...Just then, after Jason left the conference hall, a brawny middle-aged man suddenly blocked his path. An invisible pressure emanated, making the very air turn grimmer. A simple move could crush a bull to death. Jason's brows furrowed, just about to speak, when the burly man suddenly knelt down. His cavernous voice pleaded: "I implore the grandmaster to save my daughter!""Hmm?" Jason's brows furrowed, confused by this sudden event. Save his daughter?"You saw everything earlier?" He raised a bro
"What? Why sell a perfectly good car?" James Brown was shocked, thinking she was joking. He had only just gotten this luxury ride.But shockingly, Mary Martinez mumbled ambiguously: "I...I lost money gambling, so I borrowed some from people. Now they're here to collect and the amount has grown..." James Brown was startled. Seeing her uneasy expression, his face paled as he asked sharply: "How much did you borrow?""Not a lot, just...just over ten thousand USD!" "Over ten thousand?" James Brown cried out, then relaxed in relief, sighing: "That's fine, not too bad. We can figure out a way to borrow some, didn't I say not to gamble. You just can't change."But as he rambled, James Brown suddenly felt something amiss. Usually she would explode at his nagging, yet now she just huddled there silently."Something's off. What are you hiding from me? What's the real story with that money?" James Brown slammed the brakes at the roadside, face pale.Seeing his anger, Mary Martinez hesitated. F
"What? Con...concussion?" Susan turned pale with fright, staggering back weakly.Jason quickly supported her. Susan cried guiltily, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have..."She blamed herself. Her parents were old and unfamiliar with high-tech cars. Letting them drive something so nice was bound to lead to an accident. She should have been more considerate.Jason's heart ached for her. He reassured, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll go take a look at her." Though concussion was serious, most hospitals could treat it. He would examine her more thoroughly for internal injuries or hidden conditions.But at his words, James Brown yelled angrily, "You want to make things worse? The doctor said she can't be agitated. You're the last person she wants to see now. Stay the hell away from her!"Jason frowned, but patiently explained, "I know some medical skills. I just want to check on her condition, and she's still unconscious anyway." Susan looked surprised. She hadn't known Jason had medical kn
She was in important negotiations with foreign clients when the call came. Though pained, she'd rushed over immediately. Yet everything was fake! She was so furious her blood pressure rose, making her dizzy and nauseous. How could they do this?Just then, seven or eight burly men barged into the room, sneering coldly, "Which one's Mary Martinez?"Mary Martinez and James Brown's faces drained of color. Why were they here? Hadn't the loans been repaid? What more did they want?"I'm her daughter, who are you?" Susan frowned, immediately on guard.These men reeked of malice, covered in tattoos and scars. Ordinary people would be scared witless by them."Her daughter? Heh, that makes things easy. Your mom still owes us $300,000. It's time you settled that debt, don't you think?" A tattooed man leered."What? $300,000?" Before Susan could react, Mary Martinez cried out first."You're robbing us! That BMW was worth nearly $2 million. I only borrowed $100,000, I already paid you back enough!
"Alright, bring the beauty along!"At his words, James Brown and Mary Martinez cried out in shock, "Don't touch my daughter! You're shameless, e-extorting us...I'll lend you the money, just leave her be!"But it was too late. One thug kicked James Brown down while the tattooed man slapped Mary Martinez viciously, nearly knocking her out."You bastards will get your retribution." Susan said through red eyes, retreating slowly.Now, all her self-defense training against attackers was useless."Don't be afraid, darling. My brothers and I will take good care of you, let you know what true pleasure feels like, pleasure beyond your wildest dreams." The tattooed man cackled as he pounced.But in that instant, a sudden iron grip seized his arm. "My woman is not for you trash to covet. Do you know how the word 'death' is written?" An icy voice sounded in his ear."What?" The tattooed man was shocked. The pain in his arm made him scream out. It felt like his bones would shatter from that prepos
Before the rest could react, more thuds rang out as the thugs cried out clutching their heads. In a blink, only the tattooed man remained."How...how is this possible? Everyone's down?" He looked on in horror, eyes bulging. It had been eight against one, yet they lost in mere moments?Though not experts, his men were vicious fighters. At least capable of taking three or four men each, they'd even escaped from being surrounded by over sixty enemies before. Yet now they were all down?What kind of monster was this guy?"Scum like you who bully the weak are better off dead!" Jason said icily, his killing intent erupting.Just then, a figure rolled and scrambled desperately towards them, not daring to delay a second."Mr. Aaron?" The tattooed man cried out joyfully and threw himself over. "Mr. Aaron, trouble! This punk made trouble and insulted you! You must kill him!"Laughing madly at Jason, he yelled, "You're dead, punk! No saving you for hitting me. I'm fucking your woman right in f
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"A series of dull impacts resounded through the room, accompanied by cries of pain. Bodyguards were sent flying with single slaps or kicked into walls, the scene utter chaos.In moments, over a dozen guards lay incapacitated. Even Bennett found himself on the receiving end of a devastating punch to the chest, sent flying as he coughed up blood."Who... who are you? It's impossible... How can someone so young possess such formidable skills? Cough... ugh..." Bennett struggled to speak through his pain.Jason was undoubtedly the youngest Martial Arts Master he had ever encountered, and easily among the top ten in skill."My name is Jason. I warned you: harm her, and you'd face a gruesome end. The Murphy family will pay dearly for this transgression." Jason's cold voice accompanied his methodical approach.He made no move to pursue Henry Murphy. There was no need—the man couldn't truly escape. Even if he fled Central Area, Jason could drag him back."Jason? Jackson! You
Jason, his face a mask of cold fury, tightened his grip on Henry Murphy's throat. He addressed Bennett, "The tables have turned. Your choices are simple: mutual destruction or her release. Decide."His grip tightened further, nearly crushing Henry Murphy's windpipe. The young heir's face turned an alarming shade of purple as he struggled for air."Quickly... cough cough... save... save me..." Henry Murphy choked out desperately.Henry Murphy never anticipated falling into such a trap. He had dismissed Jason entirely, viewing him as nothing more than a notorious weakling. Who could have foreseen that he was actually a formidable opponent?A grave miscalculation indeed.This young man was far from ordinary.Alas, this realization came too late. Two powerful fingers now threatened to crush his windpipe at any moment."Stop... stop this, you scoundrel! If you dare harm our young master, the Murphy family will annihilate your entire Brown family. You'll all perish!" Bennett roared in threa
Her venomous words dripped with contempt, a stark contrast to her recent pleas for mercy. It was Jason who had shown her kindness then, advising her to disappear. Clearly, his words had fallen on deaf ears.Perhaps the allure of wealth and status proved too strong to resist.Henry Murphy, disdaining further dialogue, fixed Jason with an intense gaze. "I hear you possess jade pendants of a particular hue. Moreover, you seem to understand their significance and have been collecting them. Excellent. Hand them all over to me.""Such high-grade Mystical Objects are beyond the likes of you. Cooperate, and if I'm feeling generous, I might spare your miserable life.""Jade pendants?" Jason's pupils constricted as he suddenly turned his piercing gaze towards Ashley, murderous intent radiating from him."It was you. You told him!"The revelation stunned him. This wretched woman had not only betrayed his kindness but had also sold him out.Ashley's knowledge of the jade pendants was no surprise
"Cough... cough!"Susan coughed with difficulty as the gag fell away. She gazed at the frenzied, sharp-tongued Ashley, shaking her head with a complex expression. "You're mistaken. I've never tried to compete with you. This is all in your imagination.""Besides, no matter how envious you are, it shouldn't drive you to such extremes. Do you truly harbor such hatred towards me?"Had Ashley not confessed, Susan might never have imagined that envy could transform someone so drastically, leading them down this irredeemable path of ruthlessness."Hmph, spare me your false sympathy. In my eyes, you're nothing but a contemptible wretch. If I hadn't caught you, would you be uttering these words so meekly? You're probably gloating inside!""Let me tell you this: you'll never rise above me again. You belong beneath my feet, nothing more than a lowly creature!"Ashley sneered through gritted teeth.As she raised her hand to strike again, another resounding slap echoed through the room. However, t
Jason's face turned frosty, his teeth clenched as he spoke, "I swear, if you harm a single hair on her head, I will annihilate your entire lineage. No matter who you are or what your status might be, do not underestimate my capabilities or my resolve.""State your demands clearly. Whatever you want, I'll provide. But if you provoke me... you will regret it immensely."He spoke while barely containing his fury, utterly shocked by this turn of events. With the enemy holding the upper hand, he rapidly tried to deduce their identity.The voice was vaguely familiar, but not entirely recognizable. Who would dare to be so bold?Lotus Thirteen? Or had Justin Wesley arrived in Emerald City to make his move? No, it seemed too soon; he hadn't fully inherited the Wesley family yet.But if not them, then who? Matt Turner or Gerald White? He had certainly made quite a few enemies recently."Heh, such big words, Mr. Gray. Why don't we continue this conversation when you arrive? The last hotel on Sea
No matter how Mary Martinez explained or pleaded, it had no effect. The old lady simply ignored her.It was as if she was saying, "Just wait and see in three days!"Aunt Diaz was alarmed. If the old lady were to cause such a commotion, what would become of Susan and Mary Martinez's reputations?Soon after, James Brown returned home with Susan. Upon hearing about the $100,000 allowance demand, they were stunned. Good heavens, they knew the old lady would be trouble."What... what should we do? Try to talk her out of it, or send her back home. If she keeps carrying on like this, we won't be able to live here anymore," James Brown said, rubbing his temples."Easy for you to say. Why don't you do it? I promise I'll support you, but I don't want to be labeled as unfilial," Mary Martinez retorted, her lips twisted in a grimace. She had already talked herself hoarse trying to reason with her mother.Seeing the situation, Jason furrowed his brow. If Susan was in a difficult position, he could
"What do you understand? Listen carefully: from now on, whenever you see Gray divine physician, you must show the utmost respect. Never offend him, or even the Parker family won't be able to protect you!" Leonard Wood warned her gravely.Stephanie Parker, thoroughly frightened, nodded repeatedly...Meanwhile, Jason had returned home, where Old Mrs. Martinez was inevitably causing a scene again, making everyone uncomfortable. However, given her status, no one could say anything."A good-for-nothing loafer who's busier than my granddaughter. What's going on? Is everyone avoiding me? Do you all want this old woman to live out her days in loneliness?" Old Mrs. Martinez's voice dripped with sarcasm.Jason and Grace Diaz could only sigh inwardly as they served her tea, cut fruit, and attended to her every whim to avoid further complaints."Mom, what are you saying? I'm here to keep you company, aren't I? We don't need to pay any attention to that useless fellow. Out of sight, out of mind -
Stephanie Parker and the onlookers were struck dumb, their eyes wide and jaws hitting the floor in sheer disbelief.This seemingly ordinary individual had managed to make Uncle Wood bow his head. What was going on? What kind of background did he have? What was his story? Had the world gone mad?Even Kelly Harris, who knew of Jason's exceptional medical skills, was left speechless at the sight before her. She gaped at the nonchalant Jason, unable to comprehend the scale of his influence that commanded the reverence of hundreds.While others might not grasp the full significance, as a medical student, Kelly understood perfectly. These were the cream of the crop in the medical field, each capable of being the crown jewel of any major hospital.One person alone could sustain an entire hospital!Over a hundred such individuals - can you imagine the impact? It was as if half the medical world was trembling before him!"This... this..."As everyone stood in shock, Jason turned to Roger Cox,
"As if! You can't even get in yourself, and you have the audacity to make such an offer? Have you no shame?" Kelly Harris rolled her eyes, clearly unconvinced.But Stephanie Parker just smirked. "Clearly, you don't know me well enough. My family, the Parkers, are part of the Medical Family. If I choose to reveal my identity, getting in there would be as easy as strolling through my own backyard. Many of the medical geniuses in there even know me personally.""Do you think this Chinese Medicine Conference could keep me out now? Well, do you believe me now?" she boasted.She had never revealed this information before. Even her admirers and followers were unaware of her prestigious background."You're from the Medical Family?" Jason was surprised, not expecting to encounter two members in one day.Kelly Harris was even more shocked. This was the first time she had heard about this. She never imagined that her insufferable rival was from such an esteemed background. No wonder Stephanie ha
