Liam sighed heavily. It seemed that Naomi's condition was far from ordinary."Was her pulse that erratic at the time?"A cold sneer crossed Scott's face, standing in the back. "Heh. How overconfident!" From Scott's observation, Liam might have some understanding of traditional Hestian medicine, but that was about it. To Scott, Liam's pulse-taking technique was extremely clumsy. It lacked any of the mystical qualities that Qassim mentioned. With only that level of knowledge about traditional Hestian medicine, it was unlikely Liam could save the young girl. In fact, his rash actions might worsen her condition even more!Did that 'Grandmaster Burrey' really think he could find a way to treat Naomi by merely understanding her situation? What a fantasy!"Alas…"Raaina, standing nearby, could not help but sigh as she watched the scene unfold. With her medical skills, she could clearly see Liam's hesitation and clumsy pulse-checking techniques. However, Raaina had spoken up earli
Whoosh!A sudden gust of wind swept through the mountains, rustling the trees with a fierce roar. The force was so strong that the members of the Medical Guild could not keep their eyes open.However, Liam, standing at the eye of the storm, remained unshaken. Astonishingly, the hundreds of golden needles suspended in mid-air did not sway at all. The sight was enough to leave everyone in awe."What…"Raaina froze in her tracks. She stared blankly at the scene before her, disbelief written all over her face. Just moments ago, she had doubted Liam's abilities, but he displayed something beyond her imagination."How… How is this possible?"Scott and Otto were even more astounded. Their expressions were priceless, their faces metaphorically slapped by the sight of over a hundred needles floating above, a testament to their shock and disbelief.Leaving aside whether he could save Naomi, just witnessing that scene spoke volumes. The petty tricks Otto showed earlier were nothing compare
The light in her eyes had completely vanished!"She's already dead. What's the point of trying to save her?"Otto watched the scene unfold before him, his face once again showing a mocking expression.However, before he could say anything more, Liam's voice suddenly rang out just as Naomi lost her breath!"Drop!"The sound was as sharp and clear as a bell, resounding powerfully. In an instant, the hundred golden needles suspended in the air trembled as if they had received a command.Whoosh!The needles descended rapidly from the sky, tracing a path that resembled a golden river in the air.At the same time, a sharp light exploded in Liam's eyes.Everyone believed that the Thirteen Ghost Needles technique was meant to ward off evil and suppress spirits. However, only Liam knew the truth.The Thirteen Ghost Needles technique was, in fact, a technique to snatch life from death at the very moment of passing, to repel ghosts and bring the deceased back!They could drive away the
"My darling girl!"The farmer's voice, filled with overwhelming joy, burst out suddenly. He gently tugged on his little girl's hand, ensuring that her body had indeed recovered. Once he was certain, the farmer turned toward Liam abruptly."Thank you, kind sir! Thank you!"He faced Liam and knelt down again with a thud. Immediately, the sound of him bowing reverberated repeatedly. If the first time the farmer had knelt before Liam it was out of helpless necessity, his bow came from the depths of his heart, sincere and genuine, without a trace of falsehood."Thank you, kind sir! I, Wyatt Candor, will repay your great kindness and virtue even if I must work like an ox or a horse! Truly, thank you, kind sir!"Wyatt, the farmer, seemingly impervious to pain, continued to slam his head against the ground. "Alright, alright!" Liam quickly stepped forward and helped Wyatt up, advising him earnestly."What you need to do now is not bow to me in gratitude but to prepare and consider ho
Raaina recalled the events that occurred after she first met Liam, and she could not help but pause abruptly.At that moment, Otto's voice broke the silence. "It was a misunderstanding on our part back then!"With a flicker of his eyes and a broad smile, he approached Liam and continued, "It was our mistake. We misjudged the situation and didn't recognize the presence of your greatness, Grandmaster Burrey!"It was not just Otto."Grandmaster Burrey truly lives up to his name! To witness the legendary Thirteen Ghost Needles with our own eyes is a rare privilege indeed!"Scott quickly approached Liam, exclaiming, "We were truly blind to your expertise. Grandmaster Burrey, your medical skills are unparalleled. We should've invited you to join the Medical Guild earlier so that we could learn from you!"After everything that had happened, both Otto and Scott's attitudes toward Liam changed instantly. However, Liam's demeanor toward them became noticeably colder after witnessing thei
Liam even spotted many precious medicinal herbs in one corner.However, none of that was what caught his attention the most. What truly captivated him were the shelves lining the walls. Liam clearly saw that the shelves were filled with ancient, yellowed manuscripts.The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, the Classic of Difficulties, the Compendium of Materia Medica, the Divine Farmer's Herb-Root Classic and the Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders.Qassim was not wrong. Indeed, the Medical Guild housed an endless collection of Hestian ancient medical texts. Although the medical techniques Dante taught Liam were perhaps more comprehensive than those displayed in the Healing Hall, the sight of so many ancient Hestian medical texts still struck him with awe.Noticing Liam's change in expression, Scott smiled and said, "Grandmaster Burrey, do you see them? That's right, we have preserved all the ancient Hestian medical texts in the Healing Hall. If you wish to read them, feel free to browse
However, they eventually suppressed the anger in their hearts."Grandmaster Burrey, please have more of these wild mountain mushrooms. They're very delicious!" Scott sat back down as if nothing had happened, even serving Liam a helping of the dish. While doing so, he casually asked, "Grandmaster Burrey, your medical skills are extraordinary. May I ask who your teacher was?""The person who taught me medicine was a scruffy old man," Liam replied, keeping his head down, focused on his meal.Scott continued to probe. "To have trained someone as remarkable as you, Grandmaster Burrey, your teacher must be extraordinary as well! May I know your teacher's name?""I don't know what his name is," Liam shook his head.Liam only knew his master as Dante, but he truly did not know his full name. However, Scott seemed to misunderstand Liam's words, taking it as a snub. His expression darkened even further.However, Liam suddenly looked up and said calmly, "You've been asking me questions
Liam narrowed his eyes slightly as he calmly asked, "Is your commitment to saving lives limited to the wealthy, ignoring the poor?"Scott shook his head. "Grandmaster Burrey, I don't agree with your statement. In our medical community, we have never ignored the poor to only treat the wealthy. Even when Naomi's condition deteriorated, we didn't abandon her. Miss Gunter stepped in to help."Scott continued, as if it was self-evident. "However, human energy is limited, and naturally, we can only care for a finite number of patients. In contrast, Grandmaster Burrey, you've just saved one little girl, yet you speak with such righteous indignation."Scott frowned at Liam, feeling a growing aversion to his repeated criticisms."I've never lost the heart of a healer," Liam replied calmly, raising his head."You..."Otto was momentarily stunned, taken aback by Liam's overt disdain and sarcasm.Scott's eyes glinted with coldness as he listened to Liam. "Grandmaster Burrey, since you've ma
"You... what do you mean by that?"Upon hearing Liam's words, Sebastian was momentarily stunned. He had no idea what this young man was suddenly talking about!What did he mean by saying that once the bodyguards returned, Lloyd Group would cease to exist?Lloyd Group, which spanned across the entire Qyn Province with a powerful background, had been doing booming business lately. How could it just disappear like that?Sebastian knew that Liam’s idea was, in theory, quite good. After all, if Lloyd Group were to disappear, the Nosh family would suffer a huge blow, and they would have no time to cause trouble for them in the short term.However, the idea of Lloyd Group disappearing was nothing more than a beautiful fantasy. It was impossible!It was not just Sebastian.Charles and Janell were also stunned after hearing Liam’s words.To be honest, after experiencing the events earlier, their impression of Liam had already changed quite a bit.As the current head of the Hensworth fa
"Sigh…"Sebastian listened to Liam’s words, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed heavily before speaking, "But even if you want to take action, you should leave no trace!"Although he had not expected Liam to suddenly take such drastic measures, Sebastian still understood the situation to some extent. After all, even he, an old man, was so furious at Godfrey’s earlier words that he could barely contain himself. It was needless to say how someone like Liam, a young man, would feel!Moreover, Godfrey had been threatening Liam not long ago. But Sebastian still felt that Liam had not thought this through completely.Sebastian, after all, was the man who had built the Hensworth family’s foundation, and he had a certain ruthless streak in him. He believed that now that Liam had already taken action, he should not have let those two bodyguards go back."Leave no trace behind!" he thought. Even those two bodyguards should not be spared. Who knows, the truth of Godfrey’s death might s
"Ugh…"Godfrey's body shuddered, his eyes flashing with intense unwillingness. He struggled, as if trying to say something, but not a word escaped his lips.Finally—Bang!A dull thud echoed as Godfrey’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, lifeless.Even in his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined—In South City, someone would actually dare to kill him!In Godfrey's mind, with Union Finance's status in the Qyn Province, it was inconceivable that anyone would dare act against him. Liam had broken his leg earlier, which was already outrageous enough!Otherwise, he would not have arrogantly declared moments ago, threatening to grind Liam's bones to dust unless he fled immediately.Who could have guessed—From the very beginning, Liam had no intention of letting Godfrey go!What Union Finance?What powerful connections in Juneau?To Liam, none of that mattered in the slightest."What now?"Liam stood up, casually tossing the dagger to Bluebird before turning to face
In the very next moment…As soon as Charles and the others processed what was happening, they hurriedly turned to Liam, frantically urging, "Liam, you need to leave now! This time, you’ve really gotten yourself into trouble!"Even though Charles and his companions still had not figured out what exactly was going on in front of them, and they had no idea who the woman who suddenly appeared was or what her relationship with Liam might be, they were absolutely certain that this time, Liam had truly stirred up major trouble!Despite Liam and the mysterious woman who appeared behind him both displaying impressive skills, they were still only two people.When faced with United Financial, Liam wouldn’t stand a chance of resisting.Not to mention—breaking Godfrey’s leg had completely severed any chance of reconciliation with United Financial. With Godfrey’s vengeful nature, this would undoubtedly escalate to a fight to the death!In Charles’s eyes, Liam’s only option was to flee immedi
"Don’t! Don’t you dare interfere with me!"Sensing the bodyguards' movements, Godfrey suddenly snapped awake. His face twisted with fury, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "Kill him for me! Kill him!"The searing pain in his leg distorted Godfrey's features, but none of it could mask the blazing anger inside him.He, Godfrey, had been beaten into this state by a mere useless ex-convict!Even the Lloyd Group, the former backer of that useless ex-convict, Liam, wouldn’t have dared to treat him this way!Who gave him the nerve to do this?At the instant Godfrey's order rang out, the two bodyguards who had initially rushed toward him abruptly turned around. They swiftly drew retractable batons from their waists and aimed them straight at Liam’s head!"Yes! Beat him to death for me! I want his skin peeled off!"Godfrey's body trembled as he screamed madly at the scene before him.However, just as the two batons were about to strike Liam from both sides...A flash of cold light strea
Charles could not just stand by.However, Liam had not continued speaking yet.The moment Godfrey heard Charles’s words, his eyes widened abruptly, and an exaggerated grin appeared on his face."Liam?"Godfrey extended a finger, pointing straight at Liam, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he asked, "You wouldn’t happen to be that Liam, famed in South City, would you?"It was clear he had heard of Liam’s exploits."I don’t know anything about being famed in South City."Liam looked at Godfrey calmly and said, "I am Liam Burrey.""Hahaha!"Hearing Liam’s response, Godfrey burst into uncontrollable laughter, clutching his stomach. His laughter was saturated with ridicule. "I can’t take it! You’re killing me!"I thought the Hensworth family found someone reliable to back them up, but it turns out it’s just a useless piece of trash!"And you dare spout nonsense about breaking my legs?"Shaking his head, his face was full of disdain. "Now it’s clear—you people have lost your mind
"Liam…"Seeing the scene before her, Valerie trembled.When she first heard Godfrey’s merciless words, her heart burned with grief and indignation. Yet, Valerie also understood that in the face of this situation, she did not have any viable solutions.The moment she realized Godfrey was from Union Finance, Valerie knew the Hensworth Group was nothing in comparison.What’s more, the Hensworth Group was currently on the brink of bankruptcy and had to rely on Godfrey for help!She never imagined Liam would step up at such a moment.After all, she had only asked Liam to pretend to be her boyfriend; there was no real relationship between them.And Union Finance wasn’t just powerful. Its background was incredibly mysterious.There were long-standing rumors that Union Finance in Qyn Province had connections to Juneau.Otherwise, the Nosh family could not have dominated the vast financial market and remained unshaken for so many years.Even if Liam might be capable of resolving this,
"I…"Hearing this, Charles was momentarily stunned.But in the end, he shook his head and said, "Mister Nosh, if Union Finance truly can't approve a loan for the Hensworth Group, then so be it."We'll figure out another way…"Charles's voice was low and heavy. At first, he genuinely believed Godfrey wanted to be with Valerie. But now it was clear Godfrey had no such intentions—he only wanted to toy with Valerie. How could Charles possibly agree to this?At the same time, his heart was filled with regret. He had almost become the one to push his daughter into a pit of fire!"You'll figure out another way?"Godfrey's expression darkened. He glared at Charles coldly and sneered. "Ten billion in loans, just to have Valerie play with me for a while! I really didn't know that any wh*re on the market could be this expensive!""If you don't agree, I'd like to see which other financial institution in Qyn Province would dare lend to you without Union Finance's approval!"The entire orde
"What’s wrong with you?"Hearing this, Godfrey furrowed his brows and said in a dissatisfied tone, "How long has it been? How could you not handle such a simple matter?""You still want that loan from the Hensworth Group approved, don’t you?"He immediately reprimanded Charles."Whether or not I’m with you is my business, it has nothing to do with my father!"Upon hearing this, Valerie immediately understood the implication behind Godfrey's words. Although she had just been angry with Charles, she could not allow Godfrey to speak to her father like that."Then what exactly are you thinking now?"Hearing Valerie's words, Godfrey turned his head, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light as he looked at her. "The other day, I asked you to go out for drinks. Why didn’t you go?"The reason Godfrey had come in and started pressuring Charles was that he sensed that Valerie seemed uninterested in him.However, he had not expected Valerie to suddenly speak up at this moment."I did
