"Dragonmarshian doctors are useless. You've been here for so long, and none of you have been able to come up with anything. "In the end, we can only put our hopes on Mr. Saunders." Vivian sighed."Exactly! These good-for-nothings don't hold a candle to Mr. Saunders." The Murrays began showering Rudolph with flattery.So many specialists gathered there, but not even one of them knew how to treat Caden. But Rudolph had simply given him a checkup and was able to tell what was wrong. The difference between them was too obvious."Since you know how to treat him, please proceed with the treatment, Mr. Saunders." Lily did not wish to waste any more time."Bring me my medical box." Rudolph waved his assistants over and gestured for them to put his medical supplies in front of him.He opened up the boxes and began rummaging through them. Then, he pulled out a black bottle. "This is the Golden Elixir, made of 108 rare and expensive herbs. It's especially useful for clearing blocked ci

"Y—you're spewing nonsense!" After being exposed, Rudolph tried to act calm and composed. But he could not hide the panic in his eyes.Though he hated to admit it, the Golden Elixir was cheap stuff that cost no more than several hundred.Of course, he could have easily sold it for several thousands with his reputation and medical skills."Nonsense? Well, why don't we check out the components of the elixir then?"Dustin pressed. "If I'm not mistaken, there's also some form of stimulant added to the Golden Elixir. While there may be immediate life-saving effects, it would still deplete the patient's life."What you're doing is the same as killing the patient! You heartless bastard!""Rubbish! I'm a miracle doctor from Kimboku! Someone like you should be looking up to me! How dare you accuse me?"You better apologize to me right this instant!" Rudolph fumed. "Apologize? Do you deserve an apology from me?" Dustin scoffed."You're not going to apologize, are you? Fine! I won't car

Just as they were about to say more, Lily cut them off. "Enough! This is not the time for pointless bickering! Caden's life is at stake!""Exactly! Dustin! Quick, save my father!" Sheila quickly reacted.Though Rudolph had a great reputation, she trusted Dustin more."Wait a second!" Dustin was about to go up to Caden when Jayden stopped him. "This is a life at stake! We cannot afford you messing things up! Mr. Saunders must be the one to treat him!""I said it, he can't help him. He'll only put him in danger," Dustin answered."If even Mr. Saunders can't help him, what makes you think you can?"Jayden suddenly turned to look at Lily. "Aunt Lily, you should be the one deciding. Do you trust Mr. Saunders, or do you trust this brat?""Well …" Lily was in a dilemma when presented with such a choice.She had seen for herself how good Dustin's skills were. He had been the one who cured Sheila of her strange condition.But Rudolph had an exceptional reputation. He had been practic

"Dustin!" Sheila panicked when she saw Dustin leave, so she chased after him."Dustin, I'm sorry. I didn't know Mr. Saunders would be here, too. "This is all my fault. Please don't be angry," Sheila said remorsefully."I'm not angry, Sheila. As a doctor, I hope that your dad can receive good treatment. But nobody trusts me." Dustin shook his head.He had warned them multiple times, but his warnings had been ignored. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to force himself on them further."Dustin, I trust you. But …" Sheila stopped herself. Her parents were the ones who made the decisions in the family. As their daughter, she did not have much say."It's alright, Sheila, go back in. I'll go out for a cup of coffee. "If anything happens, give me a call right away." Dustin smiled as he patted her on the shoulder."Alright then." Sheila nodded and headed back into the ward. But not before turning around several times to check on Dustin. She truly felt sorry for making him come ov

When faced with insults from influential figures, the doctors struggled to remain composed. They may not have been as skilled as Rudolph, but they found it hard to tolerate the harsh remarks.Meanwhile, Lily noticed her husband's vital signs had stabilized but wondered why he remained unconscious. "Mr. Saunders, when will my husband wake up?""Don't worry. Your husband will wake up once I remove these silver needles," Rudolph reassured her before removing the needles.Suddenly, Caden's body trembled, and his bloodshot eyes shot open. "He's awake!" Everyone was relieved. "Thank you, Mr. Saunders! You're amazing!" Jayden praised."You're much better than the doctors in Dragonmarsh!" Vivian and others chimed in."Thank you so much, Mr. Saunders. I'm so grateful," Lily exclaimed with joy. "I specialize in treating unusual diseases, so this was easy for me," Rudolph boasted. But nobody noticed Caden's eyes were bloodshot, and he was writhing in pain. He suddenly screamed and ju

"I—Is Mr. Saunders dead?"Caden's sudden violent outburst toward Rudolph stunned everyone in the room. They began to doubt Rudolph's treatment after he suggested that a silver needle could cure Caden.Caden flung Rudolph's lifeless body against the wall. This snapped everyone back to reality. "Mr. Saunders!"Vivian and Evan were devastated by Rudolph's death. "Quick! We must restrain Uncle Caden!" Jayden instructed his men to hold Caden down. But Caden attacked anyone who approached him."Caden, please stop!" Lily pleaded."Dad, come back to your senses!" Sheila cried out in despair.Their heartfelt pleas had no effect and only captured Caden's attention."Die!" He charged at Sheila with his hands aimed at his daughter's neck. "Caden, no!" Lily instinctively threw herself in front of Sheila to shield her.Suddenly, a silver needle flew from a distance. It hit Caden's neck, and he froze. Sheila stood stiff with her father's hand just inches from her neck. Meanwhile,

"Your safety is at stake if I don't return," Dustin said as he shot another silver needle.Caden was still struggling, but this time, the needle rendered him completely immobile."Dustin, don't you have medical skills? Please help my husband," Lily pleaded. "I'm sorry, but my medical knowledge is limited compared to Mr. Saunders'. You should seek his treatment."Lily glanced at Rudolph's lifeless body in the corner and sighed. She knew Rudolph wouldn't have died if he could cure her husband.Then, she added, "I apologize for offending you earlier. You're our only hope now that Mr. Saunders is dead."Sheila also pleaded, "Dustin, my father has lost his sanity. Please, save him.""Okay, I'll do my best to help you." Dustin felt indebted to Christopher, so he couldn't refuse to help his family."Thank you." Sheila expressed her gratitude.But Jayden voiced his concern, "Aunt Lily, are you sure about letting him treat Uncle Caden? Even Mr. Saunders couldn't do it. Can we trust th

Dustin knocked Caden unconscious after the others had left. Then, he proceeded with the treatment. Caden's condition had worsened due to practicing forbidden techniques. These techniques drained his vitality, damaged his circulatory pathways, and affected his internal organs. Moreover, Rudolph's treatment had exacerbated his condition. Hence, Dustin needed to use silver needles to stabilize Caden's life force. He then channeled his true energy to clear Caden's blocked circulatory pathways and mend the injured organs. Dustin began by inserting the silver needles into Caden's body. He started at the head, then the chest, and finally the abdomen. Afterward, he flicked the needles to infuse pure energy into Caden's pressure points. After one hour, Dustin stopped the flow of his true energy and collected all the silver needles.Lily looked at the unconscious Caden on the bed and asked, "Is it done?" "Don't worry, Caden was merely knocked unconscious. He'll wake up soon," Dustin

If Warrick had been at his peak, Axel might have been more cautious. But with Tranqurin coursing through his vein, Warrick had barely a fraction of his usual strength left. His power was still fading, and Axel wasn't about to waste the opportunity. He had to capture Warrick while he had the chance."Get the hell out of my way!"As the enforcers closed in, Warrick let out a furious roar and slammed his massive fist into the floor.With a loud explosion, the earth shook violently. The ground within dozens of yards cracked and caved in, splitting apart like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave tore through the air, sending dirt flying and walls shattering. The entire meeting room collapsed into ruins.The elite enforcers, caught in the blast, were flung backward like ragdolls. They crashed to the ground, disoriented and battered. Even Axel was thrown back more than ten yards.Warrick panted heavily, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Forcing his internal energy into action had only

Austin's words were strong and commanding, each one landing like a thunderclap.Warrick felt the weight of his presence. His brow furrowed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the so-called evidence on the floor, showing no sign of panic or guilt. Instead, he said indifferently, "Your Highness, these dead men were nothing more than ants. Is this really worth making such a fuss over? I doubt you haven't killed anyone before."As the old saying went, the higher one climbed, the heavier one's purse. Warrick had clawed his way up, risking his life at every step for the sake of rising above the masses. Everyone had their own desires—some sought fame, others fortune. Some were greedy for money, some for power, and others reveled in the adoration of the masses. To achieve those things, one inevitably had to engage in shady dealings. It was an unspoken rule among officials, and Warrick saw nothing wrong with it."Ants?" Austin sneered. "Without these 'ant

The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley's entire family was about to be annihilated.Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. "Axel, it's time to bring in the mastermind."With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick. Unlike Huxley, Warrick wouldn't be easy to deal with. After all, he commanded a large number of troops. If backed into a corner, he could become a major threat."Understood!" Axel responded respectfully, then turned to his subordinates. "Gather more men and come with me."Warrick had earned his prestigious position through years of fierce battles. On the battlefield, he was a one-man army, a warrior capable of taking on thousands. His strength was beyond what mos

"You bastard! With all this evidence in front of you, what do you have to say for yourself?" Austin barked."Your Highness, please let me explain…" Huxley broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling with panic."This is a lie. Someone's trying to frame me! I've always followed the law—how could I possibly be involved in something so vile?""The evidence is right in front of you, and you're still trying to weasel out of it?" Austin shot back. "Looks like you won't confess until death is knocking at your door."He raised his hand and ordered, "Guards, throw him into Grimhold Keep. Use whatever means necessary—let's see how long he keeps up this act.""Yes, Your Highness."A squad of enforcement team members rushed in and surrounded Huxley.Cornered, Huxley finally lost his nerve. He dropped to his knees with a thud and begged, "Your Highness, I admit I made a grave mistake."His voice cracked as he continued, "I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Please, for the sake of my y

Night had fallen. Austin sat in the meeting room, quietly reading a book as he waited for the results of the investigation.After successfully turning Percival against his allies, it was only a matter of time before they uncovered solid evidence of Warrick and Huxley's crimes.For years, the castle had turned a blind eye to their shady dealings. After all, corruption among officials was nothing new.But this time was different. The two had secretly orchestrated Jovian's murder, a direct challenge to the authority and dignity of the royal family. Such defiance couldn't be ignored. If Austin didn't set an example, others would surely follow."Your Highness!"Axel burst into the meeting room, panting heavily. He had clearly run the whole way to avoid any delay.Austin set his book aside and asked calmly, "Well? How did it go?""Your Highness, we've completely shut down all of Warrick and Huxley's illicit operations. Every hidden network they had built over the years has also been d

At that moment, Percival truly panicked. Earlier, he had only worried about being implicated. But now, faced with such a serious accusation, he was completely caught off guard."Hmph! The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare deny it? Do you want me to torture the truth out of you?" Austin barked."Your Highness, I'm innocent!" Percival was so terrified he was on the verge of tears. He raised his hand and swore, "If I had anything to do with Jovian's death, may I be damned for eternity.""If swearing oaths proved innocence, we wouldn't need an enforcement team," Austin said coldly. "Out of respect for your years of service to West Lucozia, I'll give you a chance to come clean and receive a lighter sentence. Tell the truth now, or I'll throw you into Grimhold Keep."At the mention of Grimhold Keep, Percival began to shake uncontrollably. Tears and snot ran down his face as he wailed, "Your Highness, I swear I didn't do anything. Who's the bastard making up these accusations?

Ten minutes later, Warrick was escorted out of Room A1 again.Axel's demeanor had completely changed since their first meeting, and he had become unusually warm."Sir Prescott, Lord Austin has concluded the investigation. It turns out this matter has nothing to do with you. We made a mistake earlier, and I apologize for any offense caused." He smiled apologetically and spoke with a humble tone."Hm?" Seeing the fawning expression on Axel's face, Warrick raised an eyebrow and looked surprised. Just moments ago, the two sides had been at each other's throats. What had caused such a sudden change?"Did you really investigate it thoroughly?" Warrick asked tentatively."Of course! According to our findings, Jovian's disappearance was the result of a personal vendetta from his enemies in Oakvale," Axel said with a straight face.He continued, "He was a tyrant and always stirring up trouble everywhere he went. He got what was coming to him. Lord Austin only launched the investigation

"After you, Sir Prescott." With one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, Axel's other hand gestured toward the door."Hmph!" Warrick shot a cold glance at Axel's subtle movement and then turned to leave the meeting room.Even if Austin had his suspicions, Warrick knew he couldn't do anything to him without concrete evidence.Axel escorted Warrick back to Room A1. After closing the door, he went to Room A2 and led Huxley to the meeting room."Your Highness, it is my privilege to stand before you." Huxley entered the meeting room with a respectful salute."Mr. Thatcher, please take a seat." Austin's face remained neutral as he gestured for Huxley to sit, then motioned for Axel to pour him a cup of tea."Do you know why I've summoned you here today?" Austin spoke calmly, and his words carried the same probing tone as earlier."Is it about Jovian's disappearance?" Huxley asked in return."Oh? It seems you're quick on the uptake." Austin raised an eyebrow. "In that case, g

The enforcement team worked with remarkable efficiency. Within an hour, Huxley, Warrick, and Percival had been brought back to the castle.Per Austin's instructions, Axel made sure the three met briefly upon arrival, though they were given no opportunity to speak to one another. Afterward, they were taken to separate rooms and were guarded individually.Due to their status, the enforcement team treated them with respect, offering them tea and wine. However, they weren't allowed to leave their rooms and had to wait for Austin to summon them.Warrick was confined to Room A1, Huxley to Room A2, and Percival to Room A3. Their rooms were right next to each other, separated only by thin walls. If they stepped out, they would see one another, but none of them knew how close they were.This, of course, was all part of Austin's plan. He knew that extracting the truth from these three cunning foxes would require unconventional tactics.…Inside Room A1, Warrick sat calmly, sipping his te
