"What...?" Jimmy froze, turning sharply to gaze at Liam. "What... What do you mean by that?"Not only Jimmy but even Lucy hurriedly looked at Liam."Grandmaster Burrey, can you save my grandfather?" She sounded surprised. "But didn't Mister Harker say that my grandfather's condition has exceeded the scope of what the current medical system can cure?"Liam shook his head lightly. "But I never said that.""A life is at stake. You better not speak recklessly!" Jimmy stared, wide-eyed, at Liam. "Since you've found the source of the poisoning in Mister Hill, you should be aware of Mister Hill's physical condition!"With such a dire physical condition, along with the complex symptoms and poisons in his body, how can you cure his illness?" Jimmy simply did not believe Liam!If it were not for Liam pinpointing the poison's source through pulse diagnosis, Jimmy might have started cursing by now!He claimed he could do something even the Gods could not? Was he just saying whatever came
Liam gazed at Julian lying on the bed in the silent hospital room, taking a deep breath. Liam gently reached out his hand. Suddenly, the Harvest Union needle pouch appeared in his grasp. And then, he deftly opened it.In the dimly lit room, the faint glow emanating from the Harvest Union golden needles added a mysterious aura.Liam delicately picked out the longest golden needle in the pouch. From the very beginning, Liam had not considered surgical treatment. He had his own healing methods.However, Jimmy was partially correct. The toxin was incredibly complex. Despite the toxin sac being located in Julian's shinbone, it had already spread throughout his body, continuously proliferating.However, Jimmy did not know that neither sending Julian to Asterion for treatment nor the method he had suggested to stabilize Julian's vital signs upon locating the toxin would be of any use.Julian's condition was far more critical than Jimmy had realized.The toxin within Julian's body did
Meanwhile, Lucy anxiously paced back and forth outside the ward, worry etched on her face."I wonder how my grandfather is doing…"Since the ward's door had closed, Lucy felt like each day dragged on endlessly. As for Jimmy, who should have returned to Asterion long ago, it was unclear whether he stayed there out of concern for Julian's possible accident or to assist. Perhaps he was waiting to reprimand Liam, or maybe he harbored some unrealistic hope.Regardless, Jimmy did not choose to leave. He stood in the corridor alongside her."Miss Hill, there's no need to be overly anxious," Jimmy comforted. "Being anxious won't help. All we can do now is wait patiently. At least there haven't been any emergencies in the ward."Jimmy paused and sighed. Then, he softly advised, "However, the head of the Hill family is unwell. Miss Hill, you should be prepared for the worst at any time."Jimmy did not believe Liam could positively impact Julian's condition. He would be thankful if Liam d
"Grandmaster Burrey!"Lucy immediately turned around upon hearing Liam's voice. Overwhelmed with excitement, she dashed into Liam's embrace. Her slender figure, clad in the tight dress, pressed tightly against him."Grandmaster Burrey, thank you so much! My grandfather is fine! He's alright!"Tears of joy streamed down Lucy's face. Although she was confident in Liam, in reality, Lucy's heart was filled with uncertainty after hearing the opinions of numerous doctors—including Jimmy's recommendation. Asking Liam to treat Julian was merely a last resort. Initially, she hoped it would be enough for Liam to temporarily alleviate Julian's condition.Lucy never imagined that Liam would actually be able to cure Julian.Liam lowered his head, a faint fragrance lingering around him. "It's nothing."He reached out and patted Lucy's shoulder calmly as he continued, "Don't let your emotions fluctuate too much.""I'm sorry, Grandmaster Burrey." Lucy seemed to realize her own indiscretion.
However, even though his heart remained full of astonishment, Jimmy's mind was full of curiosity.He slowly turned to look at Liam, swallowed a gulp of saliva, and asked in a hoarse voice, "May I ask how exactly did you do it?"The renowned doctor in Hestia was unconsciously respectful when speaking to Liam.Liam answered, "It was nothing more than completely removing the toxins from his body."Liam did not pay attention to Jimmy's previous doubts. Or rather, he simply did not care."Mister Hill's condition is extremely poor. A slight move could affect his whole body. How can you ensure that while removing the toxins from Mister Hill's body, there won't be a reaction due to the spread of toxins?"Jimmy did not realize that his attitude became even more respectful, his eyes fixed on Liam without blinking.He even regarded Liam as a teacher at that moment, respectfully seeking advice!Liam turned to look at Julian lying on the bed and said lightly, "It's not difficult. You just n
"Rest assured, Miss Hill, I will definitely cooperate with you!"Jimmy eagerly nodded, indicating that he would not disclose Julian's matters to anyone.Then, under the escort of the Hill family's servants, Jimmy prepared to return to Asterion. Before leaving, Jimmy stood beside Liam, wanting to say something but hesitating."Grandmaster Burrey, I hope to have the opportunity to see you again in the future!"In the end, Jimmy only said a few words. After slightly bowing to Liam as a sign of respect, he left the Golden Cross Hospital.A servant from the Hill family approached Lucy and asked softly, "Miss, since Mister Hill Senior's health is no longer a major concern, shall we continue to hold the Hill family's annual gathering?"Those who remained by Lucy's side in the hospital were all her trusted aides, so there was no need to worry about any information leaks. The Hill family's annual gathering, which occurred once every five years, was quite important to the Hill family."Th
"None."Liam shook his head. Having just been released from prison, he had nothing worthy of preparation.Lucy grinned and said, "Then, we can set off!" Despite her gentle appearance, her actions were decisive and swift like lightning. After persuading Liam to attend their Hill family's annual gathering—fearing he might regret it—she immediately arranged the subsequent itinerary.Everything was neatly packed in no time.Lucy gestured for Liam to leave with her as she watched Julian being carefully carried down the stairs. "Grandmaster Burrey, let's go. You can get some proper rest if we arrive in the provincial capital earlier."Liam nodded. "Let's go."Amidst the crowd, he left the hospital. After Liam and the others departed, the ninth-floor intensive care unit was unsealed.At the same time, members of the Lloyd family were gathered around the bed in the regular ward, expressing their resentment toward Liam incessantly."Why is there so much noise downstairs?"Serena seem
Upon hearing the news from Serena, the members of the Lloyd family could not help but smile. Ronald was especially excited."It doesn't matter if it's sudden or not. It's not something you should worry about. The Hill family has their reasons for hosting such a grand event. We just need to prepare well and see if we can further strengthen our relationship with them through this annual gathering!"With that ex-convict Liam out of the picture, our family can now conduct ourselves with dignity and integrity in anything we do. Serena, feel free to communicate with the Hill family," urged Ronald, gesturing for Serena to leave. "Alright, you don't need to continue taking care of your mother. Go back and prepare quickly. Since the Hill family is in the provincial capital, take Layla with you tomorrow. You don't need to worry about anything here.""Yes! Serena, hurry back and prepare!""The Hill family has always viewed the Lloyd family with special regard. When you attend their annual
Elsa lifted her head and looked at Andy."I didn't mean that."Upon hearing this, Andy shook his head.He squinted as he examined Elsa, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.The fearful attitude that Elsa and Michael showed in front of him made Andy feel quite proud. This situation proved that he held supreme authority in their hearts.As long as this was the case, it meant he could easily control the Link family!However, controlling subordinates required more than just authority. It needed a balance of both favor and power!Only then could he leave a deep impression on the other guests at this banquet!"What I meant was, since you're unwell, you should get more rest."Andy's tone changed, and he smiled warmly, speaking in a friendly manner."As for the matter this time, I've understood it, and of course, you're not to blame.""Thank you, Mister Nosh!"Hearing Andy's words, Elsa's face lit up with surprise, and she repeatedly bowed to thank him."No need to thank m
"Don't say it's some kind of accident."Andy completely ignored Michael, once again disgustedly waving his hand at Elsa, who was still nearby. He wrinkled his nose at the faint smell of urine floating in the air. "Get away from me.""Eh! Alright, alright!"Elsa quickly nodded, retreating another step.Michael closely followed her, a forced smile on his face.In front of Andy, they did not dare show any of the unreasonableness they had displayed earlier when facing Liam!"Who would wear something like this to Mister Andy Nosh's banquet?""Not just the clothes, didn't you smell that urine odor coming from her?""I remember, they're from the Link family, the ones collaborating with Mister Andy Nosh on that cosmetics brand, right? This is just hilarious!"…Hearing this, other guests at the banquet could not help but burst into mocking laughter."That damn scoundrel, making me lose face like this. Once I get out of Mister Andy Nosh's house, I'm going to find him!"Hearing the v
It was precisely because of this series of reasons that, to avoid unnecessary trouble, they decided not to drive to the dinner. That's how they happened to run into Liam.One could say that a series of coincidences aligned to create the situation that unfolded today.Not far from the scene, the woman and the man turned a corner and entered a secluded villa area. Following the narrow path inside, they arrived at a mansion guarded by security, a lavish estate."We are here to attend Mister Andy Nosh's dinner."They quickly handed the invitation, which they had been holding, to the security at the door.This mansion was one of Andy's properties."Elsa Loony, Michael Link?"The security guard took the invitation and looked suspiciously at the man and woman standing before him."Yes, it's us! It's us!"The woman, Elsa, quickly nodded.Upon hearing this, the security guard squinted and gave Elsa a once-over, his eyes briefly flashing over her tattered clothing.Elsa smiled awkward
"We've been preparing for so long, just for this banquet hosted by Mister Andy Nosh!"The woman cried with a long face and said, "Now that it's come to this, if we go to the banquet, aren't we just going to embarrass ourselves?""Umm..."Hearing this, the man turned around, looking at the woman whose clothes were torn into shreds, emitting a foul smell of urine, and was momentarily stunned.Forget about the woman's feelings. Even the man himself felt that his mother was somewhat embarrassing at the moment."We should hurry back and let me take a bath and change clothes!"The woman stopped in her tracks and anxiously spoke to the man."Mom, there's no time!" Hearing this, the man lowered his head and glanced at the time. A troubled expression crossed his face. "You know, Mister Andy Nosh can't stand people being late!""We'll explain it to him, he'll definitely understand." He lifted his head to look at the woman.This banquet was truly important to them; otherwise, they would
Seeing this, the man whispered, "Also, the paramedics said that if we don't cut open your clothes, you might really lose your life..."Hearing the man's words, the woman's face immediately turned pale!"I..."She glanced at Liam, then turned to look at the other paramedics nearby, opening her mouth but unable to say a word.This time, the woman, having understood the situation, looked as if she had lost everything.There was no longer the slightest hint of the arrogance and insolence she had shown earlier!"Now that you've woken up, are you going to the hospital with us or not?"Looking at the woman, the paramedic continued with his previous question."If we don't go to the hospital, will my mom suddenly have another episode?"The man spoke up."After the epilepsy situation stabilizes, it should be fine for now. Actually, if your mom hadn't acted rashly earlier, it should've been okay," the paramedic glanced at the man and said, "But the condition still exists, and further tr
Whizz—The moment the man replied, the emergency responders immediately used medical safety scissors to cut open the woman's clothes.Unlike Liam, they were not careful about the expensive clothing. Under their hands, it quickly became nothing more than tattered cloth barely covering her body.However, the man stood quietly by the side, not uttering a word.He knew very well that if he said anything that could delay the treatment now, he would probably be signing his own death warrant!The emergency treatment continued for a while, with a few minor accidents along the way.But in the end, the result was relatively good."Phew…"The emergency responder who had spoken earlier let out a long breath and stood up."It's done. The patient's condition is stable."He turned and looked at the man standing beside him."Stable…"Hearing this, the man paused, then looked down at the woman lying on the ground and opened his mouth. "But my mom... why hasn't she woken up yet?"Not just no
"Be careful?"The woman sneered and reached out to pull the Harvest Union Golden Needles from her abdomen. "This worthless thing? What do I need to be careful of?"If you want it, take it back!"The woman had her own malicious intentions. With force, she hurled the Harvest Union Golden Needles toward the opposite direction of the road!If it had been any other needle, thrown so recklessly onto a wide road, it would likely have been impossible to find.Fortunately, the Harvest Union Golden Needles transformed into a subtle golden streak mid-air and flew directly into Liam's hand.However, this phenomenon was so subtle that no one noticed."What now? I've already returned your useless needle!"The woman then raised her head arrogantly, her expression filled with contempt. "What could possibly happen to me?""Such theatrics!"The man standing next to her sneered as well. "I thought you actually had some real skills…"But then—Thud!Before he could finish his sentence, a muff
"Hmm?"Hearing the paramedic's words, the woman froze in shock.She lowered her head and finally noticed a beautifully crafted golden needle embedded in her lower abdomen.Previously, she had been preoccupied with the tear in her clothes and had not noticed this at all."Maybe… that's what happened."This scene left the woman somewhat surprised. After a moment, she glanced at the paramedics nearby."But tell me, isn't he a fraud?"She quickly regained her composure. Raising her head with an air of arrogance, she said, "When my son told me earlier that he was holding a golden needle, I already thought something was wrong!"These so-called traditional Hestian medicine practitioners these days are all complete frauds!"With her nose in the air, the woman snorted coldly. "He even claimed that if it weren't for him, I would've nearly died. The lengths he'll go to just to get some money are absurd!"Absolutely ridiculous!"She turned to Liam with disdain written all over her face.
"You…"Seeing the woman's current state, the crowd around her immediately fell silent.Faced with someone so unreasonable, they genuinely had no idea what to do."Judging by your earlier epileptic seizure…"At this moment, Liam's voice finally rang out. He glanced at the woman indifferently and said calmly, "If I hadn't stepped in to help, you might not have survived.""Not survived?"Hearing this, the woman sneered coldly, her face filled with disdain for Liam. "Do you think you get to decide whether I live or die? How laughable!""That useless needle of yours…"Then, the woman lowered her head and looked at her abdomen.When she saw the torn clothing caused by Liam's attempt to save her earlier, her eyes widened in shock!The next moment—"And now you want money from me?"The woman suddenly raised her head, glaring at Liam as she shouted, "Do you know how much this Chanel outfit of mine costs? One hundred and fifty thousand! And you just ruined it like that?"Pay up! If
