“Miss Cobb!”The man in a white t-shirt went forward to greet Katy, and nodded at Ellen.There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes when he shifted his gaze toward Harvey.“Thank you, Young Master Padlow. Thank you, everyone.”Katy nodded at the crowd before turning to the man in the white t-shirt.“This is the protege of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, Gael Padlow.”“He’s pretty powerful and has a strong background as well.”Harvey nodded, not saying much. He looked back at Ellen; her face was bright red and she seemed quite anxious.After looking at Ellen, then at Katy and Gael, Harvey smiled faintly.He had figured something out.But before he could dwell on the thoughts, Katy took a deep breath and said, “Thank you all for putting all your strength into my grandfather’s condition for the past few days.”“That said, he still hasn’t gotten any better. Rather, he’s in worse shape than before.”“I’m not blaming anyone for this, but I think the attempts should stop here
“He’s just a young man! He doesn’t look like a doctor either, so he must be a martial artist.”“Even if he trained since he was in his mother’s womb, there’s no way he’s even better than the rest of us here.”“I suspect he’s a con artist! Who’s going to take responsibility if anything bad happens after this? Him? Or everyone else?”The crowd naturally had their own opinions about Harvey.After all, they all wanted Katy to look at them in a different light. However, they all failed miserably.Rather, an ordinary-looking young man managed to get Katy’s respect. This was completely unforgivable for Gael.Ellen was muttering to herself when she looked at Harvey; she didn’t blatantly insult Harvey, but she was clearly on Gael’s side.Harvey smiled calmly, stopping Katy from saying anything.He looked at Gael and said, “I’m not from any sacred martial arts training grounds, nor do I have any impressive background.”“I’m just an ordinary person.”“What gave you the courage to come h
“I’m no doctor. I don’t come from the sacred martial arts training grounds, either,” Harvey began calmly.“But I do know a bit of the art of killing. I can save people using that. Is there a problem?”“Of course there is!”Gael scoffed coldly.“I’m a martial artist as well! Of course I know about that!”“The problem is, you have to learn everything there is about it!”“Simply put, you need to be a genius with lots of experience to save someone using that art.”“If you think you’re actually capable, then show me what you’ve got!”“If you can’t, then you should stop lying to Miss Cobb. You’re just hindering us from finding a way to treat Elder Cobb!”“We’ll find a way to make Elder Cobb better using both medicine and martial arts soon enough!”Gael shot Harvey a challenging look before pointing at the treatment plans that everyone had put together on the table.“Why don’t we show an idiot like you the South Sea’s flawless treatment plan instead?”Naturally, to show that he wa
“Let me tell you one more thing.”Harvey studied Gael calmly.“Someone must’ve come up with the same plan.”“However, the Cobb family would never allow this to happen.”“That’s right. Someone did come up with this before. My grandfather is a God of War and the best fighter in all of the South Sea. Only idiots would think to cripple his training!” Katy exclaimed coldly.“If so, what’s the point of inviting you people here?”Gael had a horrible look on his face.He was perfectly confident he’d be able to save Dean and win Katy’s heart at the same time, but his plan was no different than a sick joke to her.“Medicine and martial arts have the same origin. You all should understand this fact.”“If you want to succeed in these fields, only modesty can get you far.”Harvey didn’t want to let Gael go. He started going against the people who were planning to run their mouths in front of him.“None of you are modest enough for this. Rather, you’re all cocky people who only know how
After completely disrespecting the people there, Harvey gestured to Katy to lead him into Dean’s room.Gael and a few other so-called expert martial artists were boiling with anger, but they were curious to see if Harvey could actually save Dean.That was why they followed along too.Harvey ignored them completely.Katy knew it was the best time for Harvey to show his strength. So, she didn’t chase the crowd away.After arriving at a room about two thousand square feet wide, Harvey saw Dean lying on a yellow flower pear wood mattress.There was a lot of equipment strapped to his body, indicating his vital signs.Since he was a God of War, he wasn’t able to be injected with any medicine because of his thick skin.Dean had only survived this long because Katy had been painstakingly feeding him water every single day.Harvey felt extremely guilty after seeing Dean turn out this way for his sake.Katy took a step forward and grabbed Harvey’s right hand.“Sir York, you shouldn’t
Ellen asked something nobody dared to question.Even Katy’s beautiful eyes shifted gaze toward Harvey, carrying a hint of doubt.“Don’t worry. There’s no need to lie to you about this. Elder Cobb will come back today.”Katy was so excited that her body started trembling.“That’s good! That’s really good!”“I don’t know how I can repay you for this, Sir York…”Gael and the others frowned upon seeing Katy’s affectionate look toward Harvey.They believed Harvey’s actions were quite impressive before, but that was basically it.So many of them couldn’t even pinpoint Dean’s condition and symptoms…Yet, Harvey claimed he was able to save Dean on the very same day.‘What a joke!’‘This b*stard’s being a little too cocky!’“Don’t be so full of yourself, Harvey!”“You’ll be embarrassing yourself if you can't get Elder Cobb up!”Gael was filled with hatred after his kidney deficiency was exposed. He couldn’t help but speak up through gritted teeth.A few other expert martial artis
Katy lost her composure completely; she wanted to run into Dean’s arms, but she went into Harvey’s arms instead in fear of hurting her grandfather.“Thank you so much, Sir York!”“You’re our family’s savior! I just don’t know how to repay you!”“This is nothing,” Harvey said with a faint smile.“That said, Elder Cobb’s injuries are quite bad. He needs to stay in a quiet place for at least six months so he can recover.”“Don’t worry, Sir York. I can handle the rest,” Katy replied with a tender voice.“No! This is impossible! This is illogical!”Gael finally came to his senses.That said, he was still filled with utter disbelief.He was well-versed in both medical skills and martial arts; he had quite a lot of accomplishments since he was young, and had made a name for himself in the South Sea.Even he couldn’t tell what exactly happened to Dean. He could only come up with a plan along with everyone else here.Judging from his estimation, the plan would require at least anothe
Katy didn’t pick up her phone immediately. She showed Harvey an apologetic smile before going to the side of the street for a few minutes.Harvey could clearly tell she was in distress.When Katy hung up on the phone, she had a faint smile as she walked toward Harvey.“What? Did something happen?” Harvey casually asked.“You’re the head of the South Sea Gang. Nobody would dare go against you here.”Katy flashed him a bitter smile.“You’re kidding me, Sir York. The South Sea Gang might have a bit of authority in Hong Kong and Las Vegas…”“But things are different here in the South Sea.”“Other than my secretary and a few trusted subordinates, I didn’t bring anyone else with me.”“I thought I could just leave after dealing with my grandfather’s condition...”“But things don’t always go as planned.”“Do you need my help?” Harvey asked.“It’s just the family business; it’s not hard to deal with at all. It’s just a little troublesome, is all.”Katy rubbed her temples.“There’s
