"Doctor! Where the fuck are the doctors?"The bodyguards clamored fiercely, scaring the patients in the medical center. They quickly got out of the way for fear of getting into trouble."What happened?" Several of the doctors from Harmony Healers went up to them."Move aside! I'll handle it!" Caldwell pushed the doctors aside and stepped forward voluntarily. "Is this Ms. Eleanor Welch from the Welch family?" he asked tentatively."If you know who she is, why aren't you saving her yet?" the lead bodyguard pressured."I'm on it!" A look of glee flashed on Caldwell's face for a fraction of a second. It was as though he had got his hands on a treasure.The Welch family was one of Oakvale's eight great families. They were filthy rich and extremely powerful. As a daughter of the Welch family, Eleanor Welch was known to be both rich and pretty.This was Caldwell's chance to play the hero and save the damsel in distress. He wasn't ready to pass up on such a chance! If he managed t

"I'm just offering you some advice because the patient will die if you use the wrong method. And if that happens, you'll regret not listening to me," Dustin said "Hah! That's rubbish!" Caldwell snapped rudely. "Dr. Busch personally taught me this method to save patients. It has worked every single time without fail! Do you think that you're better than Dr. Busch?""There is no hard and fast way to save a patient. You must consider the situation before using a certain method. You must be adaptable," Dustin reminded him."Shut up! One more word from you, and I'll throw you out!" Caldwell's embarrassment fueled the anger within him.He was Dr. Busch's star apprentice who would be in charge of running Harmony Healers in the future! How dare a nobody tell him what to do? He thought too highly of himself!"Well, have it your way then." Dustin shook his head, saying nothing more. "Cut the crap! Save her!" the head bodyguard urged.Caldwell suppressed the anger within him and bega

"Wait a second!" Caldwell suddenly came back to his senses. He quickly exclaimed, "You can't seriously believe what this brat is saying, can you? He's not even from Harmony Healers! Don't be fooled!""Fooled?" The head bodyguard looked Dustin up and down before he frowned and asked, "You're not a doctor?""I'm not a doctor from Harmony Healers, but I do have some medical knowledge," Dustin told him honestly. He had nothing to hide."Hmph! If Harmony Healers can't save her, what makes you think you can?" Caldwell snarled."Just because you can't doesn't mean I can't too. As I told you, you were using the wrong method," Dustin said calmly."Rubbish! I'm Dr. Busch's star apprentice! Who are you to compare yourself to me?" Caldwell fumed in frustration."I don't want to waste time with you. Move aside. Don't distract me from saving the patient," Dustin said impatiently.He really couldn't understand what was going on inside Caldwell's head. Was he trying to stop Dustin from saving

Dustin waved his hand to signal everyone to move back so there would be enough space."Support her!" Dustin ordered the head bodyguard to hold Eleanor up.He then used his finger to pry open her mouth and held onto her tongue as he pulled out a small part. As he did that, he activated his internal energy and gave Eleanor a sudden smack on her back.It was a loud slap. Eleanor's body suddenly trembled, and her head lifted upward as she started regurgitating a large amount of water with a loud noise. As everyone took a closer look, they realized that there was a fish in her vomit!"My goodness! Why would there be a fish in Ms. Welch's mouth?""Was this fish stuck in her throat? Was this why she couldn't breathe?""No wonder Dr. Quinn's method didn't work. A fish was stuck in her throat. Such bad luck!"The onlookers were shocked to see the tiny fish on the ground as they whispered among themselves. The cause behind Ms. Welch's suffocation was finally revealed."H—how could this

"Ugh…" Eleanor sat up right away and let out a breathless groan. After that, she started heaving as if she had just been given a second chance at life, greedily taking in the air around her. Her pale face gradually took on a rosy color.This sudden turn of events shocked everyone. No one thought Ms. Welch, who was dead, would suddenly come alive."She's … awake? Is she a zombie?""My goodness! Did he revive the dead? Is this for real?""Miracle doctor! He's a miracle doctor!"The onlookers looked at each other in surprise. They had never witnessed anything like this, even if they had seen and heard it all.Eleanor was already dead. She was no longer breathing, and her heart had already stopped beating. But Eleanor came back to life after Dustin gave her three jabs. They had never heard of a miracle like this. Right then, everyone looked at Dustin with a different perspective."It—it's impossible!""She was already dead! How did he revive her?" Caldwell was shocked to the

"This miracle doctor has hit the big time. He actually saved Ms. Welch. How lucky!" The onlookers were envious to see the million dollars check. That amount of money was enough for them to retire."Fuck!" Caldwell gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. This windfall of money should have been his. Who would have thought Dustin would take it away from him? This swindler ruined his shot at fame and riches."Thanks." Dustin accepted the check readily. He may not have saved Eleanor for money, but he wouldn't refuse it since they offered it."Doctor Rhys, I still have other matters to attend to. See you soon! "Come to me for help if you ever end up in a ditch." Eleanor left quickly after saying that. She had just been rescued from the lake, and she looked terrible. She needed to freshen up."Hey!" Suddenly, the head bodyguard turned to Caldwell with a scowl.He said, "Didn't you say you'd eat the vomit if Doctor Rhys could save Ms. Welch in three jabs? Well, you can eat now!"

"Dr. Busch? Is Dr. Busch here?" Everyone immediately gathered around Brooke when they saw him and left Dustin alone.Dustin's performance earlier might have been impressive, but it was different when compared to Brooke. After all, Brooke had been famous among the people for many years. His reputation in the community was irreplaceable."Dr. Busch! You've finally arrived! Harmony Healers was almost in trouble earlier!""Yes, that's right! Someone would have died earlier if not for this doctor here. He saved the reputation of Harmony Healers!""Dr. Busch, is this doctor your new apprentice?"The crowd bombarded Brooke with questions, eager to satisfy their curiosity. Under the relentless questioning, Brooke was completely dumbfounded as soon as he entered. He stood rooted to the floor, confused."Everyone, please … calm down." Brooke raised his hands in an attempt to quiet the crowd. When the noise finally died down, he asked, "What actually happened? Tell me slowly.""I'll

"Grandpa, why did you bring a stranger up here again?" Harper frowned, displeased."Harper, be nice!" Brooke said with a stern face, "This young man just saved Harmony Healers, so he's our savior. It's only polite that I invite him up for a drink.""How did he help us?" Harper looked him up and down with a curious gaze."We had a little bit of trouble earlier at the clinic. This young man helped us and saved our reputation." Brooke said seriously. If Eleanor really died at Harmony Healers, he feared that Harmony Healers' reputation wasn't the only thing that would be lost."Grandpa, stop joking! We have so many doctors at Harmony Healers. "Is there anything that we can't cure? Do we need extra help?" Harper didn't believe it. Harmony Healers was very famous. Most hospitals would normally send the patients that they couldn't cure to them. Dustin appeared young. How could he be any better than the doctors at Harmony Healers?"Harper, don't judge a book by its cover. Dustin

The next morning, Nathaniel was inside a lavish mansion. He was in his study, flipping through an ancient manuscript. One of his most trusted aides hurried in and lowered his voice, "Your Royal Highness, word just came in. Another trace of Dracan essence has been found."Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and closed the manuscript. "Where?""Our investigation shows it ended up in the hands of Logan Rhys," the aide replied."Logan Rhys?" Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly and was surprised by the name.He had tried to win Logan over before and spared no expense, but never received a response. Later, he discovered that Tristan and Matthias had done the same.Fortunately, Logan still hadn't picked a side. He might be holding out for the best offer, but at least he hadn't shut the door on Nathaniel.With the Dracan essence in his hands, Logan had become an even more valuable target. In addition to the West Lucozian monarchy, Logan was an ultimate grandmaster, which made him worth recrui

"Give me a moment to think," Dustin said.Grace's words sent him into deep thought.After all, carrying the fate of Dragonmarsh was no small burden. First, he had to be tough enough to handle it. Then, he needed the resolve to accept what came with it. Once he carried that burden, it meant taking on a heavyweight.He used to act on his own terms and do things as he pleased without worrying too much about the consequences. But once the nation's fate was involved, everything changed.Not that he had many options.Dustin could either hide in Sacred Wrym Summit and hope Arion would protect him, or take a risk and absorb the Dragonmarsh's fate to push through his cultivation's bottleneck. Between the two, he was leaning toward the latter."I can give your plan a shot," Dustin said suddenly. "But we're still missing a piece of the Dracan essence. If we're doing this, we need to find that last one first."Only once all five pieces of Dracan essence were united could he truly wield the

"Royal gods? And two of them?" Dustin frowned at the news.His battle with Poseidon in West Lucozia had shown him firsthand that the Hall of Gods didn't send weaklings into the field.One royal god had already pushed him to his limit. If two came at him together, winning wasn't even the question. He'd be lucky just to make it out alive."That's right," Grace said solemnly. "The royal gods, Zeus and Hera, have crossed the border. They're even stronger than Poseidon. If they ambush you together, your chances are slim."She knew Dustin was strong, but he was still young. Moreover, Zeus and Hera weren't just anyone. They were world-class powerhouses. Surviving a fight with them would be next to impossible.The Hall of Gods had probably figured out how dangerous Dustin could become. If they had given him a few more years to grow, they might not have been able to stop him."Well, that complicates things." Dustin rested his chin in one hand with a thoughtful expression.Two royal god

Soluna Hall had one rule—they wouldn't accept unfamiliar customers. They only served those they knew well or people introduced by someone they trusted. Every transaction required an appointment. Exceptions were made for urgent matters, but those came with an additional fee.When Dustin reached the entrance, two security guards stopped him. After stating his name and being verified by the guards, they let him through.Inside, a female attendant with a pleasant smile greeted him and led him across the main hall straight into the back garden. They passed a small fish pond and stopped in front of a secluded private room."This is Ms. Linsor's private reception area. Mr. Rhys, please come in," the female attendant said with a smile."She's not here?" Dustin asked curiously."She had something come up, but she'll be here soon. Please make yourself comfortable," the attendant said, still smiling."Alright then." He nodded and walked into the room.The room was spacious, with a vintag

"You're wrong, Tristan," Matthias said with a meaningful look.He continued, "Sure, I've got the Moseys to back me, but I'm still far from securing the throne. Nathaniel's got strong backing too, and this won't be an easy win. But if you were to support me, I'd say my chances shoot up to 80%."In his eyes, Tristan's support was worth more than the Ballard family.If he could win Tristan over, his odds would jump from 60% to nearly 80%. The only question now was whether Tristan would be willing to shelve his own ambitions and place his bet on Matthias."You know me, Matthias. I've never been one for ambition or glory. This kind of power struggle just isn't for me. I hope you can understand that," Tristan said.After thinking about it thoroughly, he finally turned his brother down. He knew his chances of winning were slim, yet he couldn't let go.Tristan was the eldest legitimate son, the rightful and undisputed heir to the throne. Aside from his poor health, he had no real shortco

Tristan, Matthias, and Nathaniel weren't fools. They understood the unspoken message loud and clear.Their purpose for this trip was to take advantage of the opportunity to offer their condolences and win the Ballard family's support. Should it work, all the better. If not, they'd at least make a good impression. The key was that as long as the Ballard family didn't pick a side or turn against them, there was still room to make things work. No need to rush into anything.Tristan spoke first. "You're being too kind, Duke of Lachshire. We've always admired Mr. Jovian's loyalty and courage. We're simply here to pay our respects—nothing more."Matthias added, "That's right. Your family has a lot to deal with right now. Plus, you're not as young as you used to be, so don't wear yourself out over this. We won't take up more of your time today."He gave a respectful nod, then turned to leave."Duke—"Nathaniel opened his mouth to speak, but Tristan interrupted. "That's enough, Nathani

"Oh? I didn't expect both of you to be here," Nathaniel said.He was just about to pay his respects when he spotted Tristan and Matthias inside the mourning hall. He gave a respectful nod and said, "Hello, Tristan, Matthias."Truthfully, he wasn't surprised. He had already guessed they would show up.The four ancient houses and the eight great families were all key players he needed on his side. And with the Ballard family still undecided, he wasn't about to miss the chance to make an impression."I heard you left Oakvale on official business. Funny how quickly you came back," Tristan said, his tone laced with meaning."It wasn't anything important. When I heard about Mr. Jovian's passing, I returned immediately. I wanted to pay my respects in person," Nathaniel answered smoothly, without missing a beat.He brushed off Tristan's subtle jab and used the moment to show the Ballard family he was genuinely there to pay his respects."Don't just stand there, Nathaniel. Go pay your re

"Your Royal Highness, it's an honor to have you here," Jonathan said.Upon seeing the distinguished guest arrive, he quickly pulled himself together and aside his grief. He led his family to greet Tristan, and they bowed in respect.Before they could finish the gesture, Tristan raised a hand to stop them. "No need for such formalities," he said. "The deceased deserves our respect."He turned to Jovian's portrait, which was displayed in the mourning hall, and sighed deeply.Tristan continued, "Mr. Jovian's untimely passing is truly a great loss to Dragonmarsh. May his soul rest in peace. My condolences to your family during this difficult time."Jonathan's eyes were filled with tears as he bowed his head slightly. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind words. My family is heartbroken over my brother's tragic death."Tristan nodded slightly. His gaze quickly swept across the hall before asking, "I've heard that Duke Lachshire fainted from grief. How is he doing now?"Jonathan

The unrest in West Lucozia finally ended with the capture of Warrick.Every official who was his accomplice was thoroughly investigated. Those who needed to be arrested were taken into custody, and those who deserved to be punished were executed.After the purge, more than 300 officials in West Lucozia were removed from their posts. Those guilty were arrested, and those whose crimes were severe were executed.Under Austin's iron-fisted reforms, West Lucozia's government underwent a complete overhaul. Corruption, bribery, and the tangled web of illegal deals were swept away like dust in the wind.The citizens quickly noticed the difference. When they visited government offices, they no longer faced delays, refusals, or demands for bribes.Long-neglected public issues began to move forward, thanks to the organized efforts of newly appointed officials. Things were improving across the board.Instead of fearing the crackdown, the citizens welcomed it. The corrupt officials who had dr
