"The lack of blood circulation from being pressed down earlier is likely causing the patient's complexion. There's nothing to worry about."With that, he hastily began pressing on acupoints, demonstrating skilled and seasoned emergency procedures. But the elder's condition showed no sign of improving. Jason anxiously watched on the sidelines. Roger Cox's technique was decent and his emergency response would have sufficed under normal circumstances. However, his inexperience was evident. The medical knowledge he learned from his master was likely only superficial.Medicine was profoundly complex. Grasping but a fraction of it could already be deemed miraculous by laymen.Jason had wanted to step in and treat the patient directly, but his way was barred by the white-collar worker and several others. They seemed to be deliberately obstructing him to curry favor with Timothy Harris."You stay out of this, kid. I'm warning you - if anything happens to Old Mr. Harris, you'll have hell to p
"He...he moved!" Roger Cox, Timothy Harris, and the surrounding onlookers rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking they were seeing things.Could this be real?Did this man actually come back to life?"Could this...could this be resurrection?" the intern nurse exclaimed. Roger Cox watched the old man's breathing and coughing as if witnessing a miracle, trembling as he said, "Is this...is this the miraculous power of the Revival Acupuncture Techniques? The essence of traditional Chinese medicine, ancient heritage, the might of silver needles."Even his master could hardly be this incredible. The scene was like opening the gates of medicine in his mind. His own learning was truly pathetic in comparison. When he returned, he must devote himself wholeheartedly to learning from his master. He could no longer be arrogant. There were always people better than oneself, and horizons beyond horizons. Jason seemed younger than him, yet the thought of his earlier arrogance now filled Roger wit
Runhe Medicine Company was quite well-known in the other city. Its return to invest locally was big news. The chairman, Raymond Brown, had been an influential figure in his early years. But feeling overshadowed at home by his eldest brother Anthony Brown, and seeing little room for advancement, he took some capital and went to try his luck in another city. Turns out he really caught the right opportunity and single-handedly built up Runhe Medicine Company. Jason had met the man once or twice but didn't have a good impression. He always had an arrogant, domineering air. While there was no affection, Raymond was still one of the more capable members of the Brown family. His son, Alexander Brown, was also outstanding among the younger generation, at least better than Robert Brown.Returning this time, he was sure to flaunt his success. Compared to him, the James Brown family would be utterly ashamed at their miserable state, unable to match up in anything...In the evening when Jason
Robert Brown's contempt and Alexander Brown's disdain infuriated Susan. Though she had mentally prepared herself, she did not expect to be singled out and bullied like this.Before even entering the hotel, she was already subjected to the cold ridicule and deliberate provocation of the two men.Clenching her teeth, Susan said, "Alexander Brown, is this how you treat your guests? Is this your idea of hospitality? If word of this gets out, who do you think will be embarrassed - your family or mine? Who is being less civil here?"Mary Martinez and James Brown looked awkward and uneasy. Being looked down upon by a nephew was beyond humiliating.Meanwhile, Jason wondered if he should present the female pendant he had retrieved from Mark Phillips to Susan. Her status within the Brown Group would surely soar once she brandished it.Hearing Susan's words, Alexander Brown narrowed his eyes derisively and scoffed, "My, my, not seen you for over a year and now dear cousin is yelling at me? What'
Hearing the grating laughter echoing through the grand hall, Susan, Mary and James' faces stiffened. Though they knew they shouldn't have come, they did not expect such humiliation. But had they not come, the Brown family might have used this as ammunition against them. How could their family withstand such underhanded tactics?Just then, a middle-aged man bearing resemblance to James Brown emerged with a glass of red wine, musing, "James, don't take Alexander's joking personally. Not everyone can be joking fodder.""That Alexander even brings you up shows he thinks highly of you. Not many useless fellows get mentioned by him at all.""Hahaha..."The crowd erupted in laughter again. Jason's eyebrow twitched. This was none other than Susan's uncle, the second son of the old master, Raymond Brown. Though his words seemed casual, they were anything but. Feigning to sing James' praises while actually putting him down, not treating him as a younger brother at all. And with his own son r
"Not to be taken seriously? Does Daniel think he can gloss over this with just a few words?!" Daniel Smith strode out and said coldly.He had yet to enter but already overheard someone slandering him. Did they think this tiger had no bite?Although he had some reputation in business circles, being looked down upon was normal as a newcomer to Emerald City. But this did not mean he would tolerate random contempt, or how else could he establish himself here?As he spoke, he glanced at Jason as well, but Jason remained aloof as always, ignoring it entirely.Susan's beautiful eyes lit up, unconsciously relieved. At least her business partner was here now. The contract issues could help relieve some of the pressure on her. Otherwise with the earlier situation, she would have struggled to handle it alone.As for why Daniel Smith came, she could guess one or two reasons. This was his first Emerald Banquet since arriving in Emerald City, such a grand event naturally could not be missed, greatl
"Wha-what?!"Raymond Brown and the guests were shocked stiff, never having heard of such a thing before."How...how is this possible?"Even Daniel Smith and Susan were surprised, then felt a sense of pleasant surprise. Manager Garcia then respectfully approached Jason. "My poor reception last time was my mistake and oversight. Please forgive me, Mr. Gray."After the celebratory banquet, he had specially asked the boss why the attitude toward these people changed so suddenly. What exactly had Mr. Phillips told him?Although Mr. Rodriguez didn't explain, he warned that Jason was a hidden big shot. He must not be provoked!From Thomas Rodriguez's expression, he could tell a lot. This Jason was surely a prominent figure. Having offended him last time, this was a perfect chance to repay the favor.Jason was taken aback for a moment. Faced with his deference and apology, he calmly said, "It's fine. But isn't directly disregarding a guest's demands problematic for you?"Manager Garcia glanc
Hearing this, Nathan Morris quickly fawned, "The divine doctor is right, as expected of a divinely wise physician, impartial and just.""That's right. It's just an ingredients contract, insignificant to Mr. Smith. Let it go then. Shouldn't Mr. Cox be given face..."Seeing them ingratiate themselves, Daniel Smith's expression darkened while Susan's pretty face paled. This contract was her last hope. Without it, she was finished. But Alexander Brown and Raymond Brown bared their teeth in smug grins. With Doctor Cox's support, who else dared interfere?The two looked towards Susan's family again, cruel smiles on their faces. This bunch of useless fools actually dared talk back earlier. It seemed they truly tired of living. If they weren't driven from the Brown family and made to beg for mercy on their knees, they would not rest.Mary Martinez and James Brown's faces turned ghastly pale, anxious and afraid. Their hatred for Jason deepened, cursing him bitterly in their hearts. It was all
