"At some point in time, I never dared to imagine that I would be fortunate enough to meet such a Grandmaster of the healing arts!" Qassim could not care less about Ida's thoughts. He gazed in a daze at Liam ahead, his expression full of utmost reverence.Regardless of the impact this had on Qassim and Ida, Liam, after performing the Floating Four-Section Pulse Diagnosis, narrowed his eyes. The conclusion he reached was the same as Qassim's. Aside from the damage caused by the incomplete Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist boxing he performed when he first met Howser, Howser's pulse was steady and strong, showing no signs of any problem. That slight damage could not possibly be the cause of Howser's paralysis. Liam furrowed his brow."G-Grandmaster Burrey!" Qassim seemed to notice Liam's confusion and spoke carefully and respectfully, "I have also felt Mister Ulrick's pulse. Indeed, it is extraordinarily steady without any anomalies. Perhaps Mister Ulrick's issue doesn't stem from th
The legendary 'Three-Part Nine Pulse Diagnosis' technique, passed down from the Classic of Internal Medicine, was lost even among their Medical Guild.Qassim and his peers only heard of this rare pulse-diagnosing method through legends. They did not know exactly how it was performed but had a rough idea from hearsay.Observing Howser's reaction while he lay on the sickbed, Qassim was certain that Liam was using the Three-Part Nine Pulse Diagnosis technique."This-"Qassim's eyes were filled with disbelief. But this was just the beginning. After using the comprehensive diagnostic method on Howser, Liam frowned. He still could not identify the root cause of Howser's ailment. It seemed as if there was nothing wrong with Howser's body, even though his lower half was completely numb.Liam narrowed his eyes. The next moment, he clasped Howser's wrist with a sudden grip.'Pulse Meridian Method' from the 'Compendium of Pulses'!Seeing this, Qassim trembled, nearly collapsing to the grou
Although Liam did not know the exact extent of Howser’s medical expertise, the earlier reaction from Qassim gave him some clues. Even with such advanced medical skills, Liam could not make a definitive diagnosis about his condition. There was no need to dwell on it any further.However, the thought of possibly never being able to stand again cast a shadow of disappointment in Howser’s eyes. Just then, something seemed to strike Liam. He narrowed his eyes suddenly.“When did you first start losing sensation in your lower body?” Liam asked, looking up at Howser.“It began on the third day after I started practicing the real Little Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist that you taught me,” Howser sighed softly.“No, that’s not right.” Liam shook his head as if he made a decision. “Think back more carefully. Was there anything unusual on the first day you practiced Little Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist?”“I-” Howser was taken aback by Liam’s words. He furrowed his brows, deep in thought. S
"Your most cherished aspiration?" Liam's question caught Howser off guard.Howser could not fathom why Liam suddenly brought this up. Yet, those words stirred countless memories."I didn't expect you to remember a casual remark," Howser said, a complex smile flashing across his face. "When we first met, I mentioned that after decades of martial arts training, my greatest aspiration was to cultivate internal energy and become a master of internal martial arts!"He sighed softly, "But after decades without progress, and now with my legs disabled, it seems even more unattainable."Howser's obsession with martial arts was intense. Even in his eighties, he practiced martial arts daily. Achieving the legendary internal energy was a dream he held close."Grandpa..." Ida's face reflected her bitterness. She knew his thoughts well, as did anyone close to Howser. His passion for martial arts was well-known.Initially, Ida thought Liam could deceive Howser with the promise of teaching marti
Silence! A deathly silence! The moment they saw the scene before them, the entire room plunged into an eerie stillness."This, How's this possible?"Ida's mind was in turmoil! What she witnessed exceeded even the fear of death that the dagger brought her earlier!It was not just Ida. Chester and Qassim were also frozen in place! Their eyes widened, filled with disbelief as they stared at Liam. Howser was utterly stunned! He couldn't fathom how someone could achieve all this. The intense shock left Howser momentarily unable to recall what Liam had just done to him!However, Liam did not care about what Howser and the others thought. Seeing that Ida was out of danger, he gently waved his hand.Then-With a crash, the objects that were suspended in mid-air finally fell to the ground, producing a series of clattering sounds!"Liam, what did you do?"Hearing the noise, Howser snapped out of his daze. He turned to look at Liam, his voice trembling as he asked."Just saving a
Using his powerful inner energy, Liam controlled all the scattered objects in the room!After figuring out everything, Howser’s eyes flashed with shock.Recalling the first time he met Liam when Liam was unwilling to demonstrate his martial arts skills in front of him, Howser thought Liam only knew the moves and might have some hidden reasons preventing him from practicing martial arts.A bitter smile crossed Howser's face."Thank you, Grandmaster Burrey," he said.He bowed respectfully to Liam, now addressing him differently.When Howser first met Liam and was taught the Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist Boxing technique, he thought it was Liam’s good fortune. Being appreciated by him meant a bright future!However, after everything that happened, Howser realized that meeting Liam was his great fortune."Grandmaster Burrey, how did you do it?" Qassim, now fully alert, asked excitedly.Although Qassim did not fully grasp what Howser experienced, he was eager to know how Liam heal
However, at that moment, no one paid attention to Chester's words. Witnessing everything that unfolded before her, Ida's eyes trembled, and her mind went blank. Beyond the intense shock, she now realized just how severely she erred.In the next moment, a trace of bitterness crossed Ida's beautiful face. She took a step forward and approached Liam. Facing him, she bowed deeply."Grandmaster Burrey, I am sorry, it was my mistake!" Ida said, her voice trembling as she kept her head down. "It was my recklessness and presumptuousness that misunderstood you, Grandmaster Burrey. I spoke carelessly, but as long as you can forgive me, I will agree to any condition you set!"Although Ida's spoiled personality made her somewhat unruly, she was quick to admit her mistakes and apologize once she realized them."No problem," Liam replied. He turned his head to glance at her and shook his head lightly. He did not care about Ida's earlier actions. Or rather, he did not give any thought to it from
The next moment, Howser turned abruptly toward Liam as he spoke nervously."Grandmaster Burrey, I don’t know what Ida did at the Lloyd family's home, but all of this is our fault! Tell us how we can make amends. Whatever it is, we'll do it immediately!"Liam glanced at Howser. Recalling the change in the Lloyd family's attitude when Ida arrived and accused him of being a fraud, he let out a sneer as he shook his head."There's nothing for you to do.""But..."Howser opened his mouth as if to say more but hesitated when he saw Liam’s firm attitude. He lowered his head and said no more.Liam examined Howser’s legs again and said, "Alright, since your legs are healed, there's nothing more to address. When you train, be mindful of your waist. There's an old injury."Having said that, Liam turned around to leave. After all, he came here only because of Howser’s sudden health issue. Now that the problem was resolved, he had no reason to stay.Howser’s eyes flashed with urgency. He bl
Is all of this real or fake?"Commander Warren."Bluebird looked at Gabriel, his voice cold and calm, and nodded slightly.Compared to before, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel had noticeably changed.If, in the past, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel was like that of a subordinate to a superior in the military, then now, although she still showed respect, that sense of duty-bound obedience was gone.Because Bluebird knew very well who she was serving now!"You're really not dead..."Hearing Bluebird's admission, a flash of utter shock crossed Gabriel's eyes.In the next moment."Grand... Grandmaster Burrey..."His eyes trembled as he looked at Liam, his voice so dry due to the shock that it came out strained.Gabriel was well aware of how severe Bluebird's injuries were at that time.It could be said that everyone present had basically declared Bluebird's death.When they returned to the temporary base of the Nine Nether Squad, it was merely to fulfill Bluebird's last
At the same time…Liam was completely unaware of everything happening in South City.He also had no idea that, due to some misunderstandings, Willow was already furious and seeking help to rescue him from the Central Military Region.At this moment, he had already arrived at the Southern Military Region and met with Gabriel, who was overwhelmed with work."Grandmaster Burrey, please don't blame me for not coming to greet you…"Noticing Liam's arrival, Gabriel forced a bitter smile. After glancing at the documents in his hand, he said helplessly, "I received an unexpected notice, and I really couldn't get away…"It was clear that Gabriel genuinely felt guilty about not being able to greet Grandmaster Burrey in person.Even now, having already met Liam, he was still busy explaining himself."No need."Liam shook his head calmly.He did not care about any of this.What Liam was concerned about was the matter regarding Bluebird that Gabriel mentioned over the phone."Go ahead.
"So, Miss Lloyd, you mean to ask me to get someone out of the military for you?"Hearing Serena's words, Kenton was stunned for a moment."Mister Welford, what's wrong?"Serena's voice suddenly became flustered. "Is it a bit difficult?""From what you're saying, the unit that took the person should belong to the Central Military Region, which is different from our Western Military Region."Kenton hesitated. "Crossing war zones is indeed a bit troublesome…""Mister Welford, you must help me!"Upon hearing this, Serena grew even more anxious. "We can pay, as long as you can rescue him…"However, before she could finish, Kenton's voice interrupted."But how could I refuse a beauty's request!" Kenton chuckled heartily. "Don't worry, even if it's difficult, I can handle it. Coincidentally, I'm in South City lately. Even the commander of the Central Military Region has to give me some face!""Just give me the details about your friend and wait for my news."His voice was full of co
"Then give it a try."Sam chuckled and agreed, "I just didn't expect that one day, our Lloyd Group would choose to save that worthless Liam!""Alright."Hearing the voices around her, Hailey also nodded in agreement.However, soon, she seemed to recall something, turned to look at Serena, and asked, "But do we really have the ability to get someone out of the military's hands?""Yes."Hearing this, Serena gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination."If you might have a way, then go ahead and try."Seeing this, Hailey said no more and waved her hand."I just hope we don't go through all this trouble, only for that ungrateful Liam to turn his back on us!""Mom, don't worry, that won't happen!"Serena shook her head.Immediately, she turned around and quickly left the Lloyd family mansion.Not long after, Serena returned to her office at Lloyd Group.She hurriedly made her way to her desk and started searching through a pile of documents.When she finally spott
"I…" Seeing this scene, Serena's body froze abruptly, trembling slightly out of anxiety.She desperately wanted to understand the situation immediately and help Liam.However, the situation in front of her made it clear that rushing off alone to save Liam was definitely not an option!"Phew…"Serena took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.Was there any way to convince the members of the Lloyd family to help Liam?The next moment, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something."Mom, it's not that I care about Liam, but if we want to collaborate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation on the White Glycoside Cream project, Liam cannot be in trouble!"Serena raised her head and looked at Hailey."What does our Lloyd Group's collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation have to do with that useless Liam?"Hailey frowned deeply."Mom! Think about Liam's relationship with Lucy, and you'll understand!"Serena hurriedly replied, "When you were discu
"We really don't know."Sam shook his head, but soon, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. "But that useless Liam struts around deceiving people all day long. Maybe that's why he got into trouble with the military!""That's actually possible!" Hailey's face flashed with realization and mockery. "Looks like he's finally getting what he deserves!""Exactly!""The military isn't like us—they won't tolerate that useless Liam."Charice, standing in the back, let out a cold laugh. "Just seeing him boast and spew nonsense all day, it was obvious he'd end up like this sooner or later!""Hahaha!""Right, he's just getting what he asked for!""Serves him right for showing off in front of us all the time—he's practically asking for it!"…Inside the Lloyd family mansion, a series of schadenfreude-laden laughs echoed. Everyone from the Lloyd family started mocking Liam one after another.Among them, Etchen's voice was the most grating!However, just as the Lloyd family members were
Hailey froze for a moment, then immediately frowned. Biting her teeth in frustration, she snapped, "What the hell is going on with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?" "A project this big, with such high profits, and they didn't even inform us? We didn't even know about the launch of the White Glycoside Cream!"And now, they won't even let us in? The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has gone too far!" Hailey was seething with resentment. "They really have overstepped!" Standing beside her, Sam also wore a dark expression. Other members of the Lloyd family started cursing as well. None of them had expected the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to treat the Lloyd Group this way! However… In contrast to the growing anger around her, Serena remained calm, standing silently at the back. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the way the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had handled things. She had discussed this matter with the Lloyd family mem
However, Charice and Sam had barely stepped into the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building for five minutes before they were sent out in disgrace. Just like the previous attempts, they failed once again. This time, they didn't even get past the lobby—before, at least, they could meet with someone in charge. "What's going on? Before, we could at least talk to the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's representatives, but this time, we didn't even get to see anyone!" Sam's face was filled with frustration. "If we can't get in, it means the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation really doesn't want to work with us…" Charice sighed. "But if they don't want to cooperate with the Lloyd Corporation, shouldn't they at least give us a reason?" Before Charice could finish speaking, Sam cut in, his voice laced with anger. "We used to have such a good working relationship with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, but now we don't even know about the launch of the White Gly
"That useless trash, what did he do this time?" Sam turned his head toward Charice, his voice dry and hoarse. "Who… who knows…" Charice shook her head, her expression stiff. "Could it really be that he caused some huge trouble, which is why such a big scene happened?" Just based on that scene earlier—forget about escorting Liam. It was enough to wage a small-scale battle! Without hesitation, they quickly picked up their pace and hurried forward. "The man at the entrance just now, the one taken away in the military vehicle—do you know what happened?" Charice stopped a staff member of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, who had also been hiding to the side in shock, and hurriedly asked. They wanted to understand exactly what had happened! Why had so many soldiers chosen to take Liam away right in front of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building? However, the staff member they questioned was just a low-level employee of the foundation. Forget t
