Nevertheless, Istvan followed his original surgery plan and removed the lesion before starting with the suture. His assistants looked impressed and were about to compliment his skills when an equipment in a corner suddenly beeped with a piercing sound."Oh no, the patient's blood pressure is falling rapidly, and his heart rate as well."Istvan took a glance and calmly said, "Don't panic. Give him an adrenaline shot."Meanwhile, Claudia was outside the room, gripped with anxiety."Dr. Lenski, it's not working! The patient's heart rate is still falling. Please think of a solution, or he'll die if this continues!"Upon hearing this, Claudia was overwhelmed with worry and barged into the room. "How's my husband doing?""Mrs. George, please stay outside. We're handling the situation. Everything will be okay." Istvan's forehead was covered in sweat, and he was no longer as confident as he'd been earlier.When Claudia saw Theo's pale face, she forgot to breathe. With widened eyes, sh
"It worked!" Irene excitedly said.If she could save Theo, she would have done a huge favor to the Georges. At this moment, she felt so grateful for keeping the pill and not throwing it away.If she had listened to Theo's instructions, the pill would've ended up in the sea and not here at home.Gradually, blood returned to Theo's pale face. His heart beat, which had initially stopped, was also picking up and becoming steady."Heart rate is normal, but his blood pressure is a little low. But considering that he just had a surgery, this is normal," A young assistant doctor excitedly said. He seemed more capable than his teacher, Istvan, and was able to make an accurate judgment.Upon hearing this, Istvan returned to life and jumped to his feet. "Let me take a look. I'm sure it's my emergency resuscitation that saved him."Immediately, Irene frowned, feeling that Istvan was a shameless man. It was clearly the pill that she'd given Theo that saved him and not Istvan's efforts.She
Claudia was furious. "How dare you lie to me when there are so many witnesses! Looks like you don't understand how serious I am. "Somebody, break his legs!"After speaking, Claudia pushed Istvan away. Then, two men held him from each side, rendering him motionless. Another man then approached him with a baseball bat, raised it high, and aimed it at Istvan's right leg.Istvan was scared out of his wits and screamed, "I'll tell you everything! Don't hit me! "Mr. George's gallbladder doesn't have any obvious signs of issues. The prognosis from before was wrong—"Claudia glared at him. "Why did you operate on him then? What did you remove from him?""Just some unimportant glands. It won't affect his health. Removing it can prevent complications from developing in the future. It's hitting two birds with one stone," Istvan shamelessly explained. "That's bullshit! You almost killed my husband, yet you still have the guts to tell me that it won't have any effects!" Claudia was mad.
"What?" When Claudia heard Woody's request, she wasn't happy.She thought that she had shown Woody more than enough trust by not doubting his medical skills despite him being so young.As long as he could save Theo, the Georges would generously help him build his reputation. Not to mention, the Georges weren't poor at all. They could definitely afford to pay Woody for his services.Claudia held back her anger and forced a smile. "I agree. Let's speak about the terms first to avoid arguments later. You can quote any price for your services. If you can save Theo, we can afford any amount that you want.""Mr. Henderson, I remember that you wanted something called Obsidian Flame Grass from Mr. George the last time. Am I right?" Irene asked.Woody nodded in reply."What grass?" Claudia asked.Irene explained, "Claudia, it's called Obsidian Flame Grass. It's a part of Theo's many collections. He should know about it."Claudia made the decision right away. "If he can save Theo, then h
"Given the special circumstances this time, I can give you a week to pay the medical fees. But if you don't pay after a week, you'll have to face the consequences!" Surely seven days would be enough for the Georges to calculate their total assets. Claudia could no longer hold in her anger and exploded, shouting, "You brat, I've tolerated you for too long! Even though you're young, I never suspected you to be a scammer. "I'm offering you a chance to treat my dear husband, yet you keep delaying. And not just that, you're even proposing such an outrageous demand! "Do you really think the George family can be bullied so easily? Well, you're absolutely wrong! "Let me tell you the truth—my family is connected to the underworld. I won't let you off today if you piss me off." Expressionless, Woody said, "There's no room for discussion then. Bye." After that, he turned around and was about to get into his car. However, Irene suddenly yelled, "Wait, don't go, Mr. Henderson!" Then,
"What?" "What does that mean?" Claudia wasn't the only one who was confused by Woody's words. Even a professional doctor like Istvan was equally lost. Istvan was a surgeon who specialized in modern medicine. So, he naturally couldn't understand what Woody was talking about."There's something wrong with the patient's soul, which caused a leak of his spiritual energy. It manifested as a dull pain in his right rib," Woody patiently explained. Istvan instantly argued back and said, "But Mr. George has yellowing skin, nausea, vomiting episodes, and lethargy. These are all the symptoms of gallbladder disease." "Those are just on the surface! Since you've already operated on him, shouldn't you know that?" Woody retorted. Istvan was rendered speechless.Meanwhile, Claudia shot a glare at Istvan. Although she said nothing, Istvan could tell what she wanted to say. What a useless doctor! Embarrassed, Istvan hung his head low. Even though this proved that Woody was a little m
In other words, he only had one shot. If Woody failed, his patient would certainly die. Under everyone's astonished gazes, Woody swiftly inserted the last golden needle. Before Woody entered the house, Theo had already fallen into a coma because of his critical condition. When Woody first began the treatment, his face had been pale, and his breathing had been weak. However, as the last golden needle found its place, Theo's complexion had quickly and visibly improved. First, the color on his face returned, but by the end of the treatment, he looked even healthier than before. If it wasn't for the fact that Theo was lying on the bed with all sorts of medical equipment surrounding him, everyone would've thought that he was perfectly healthy. He looked like he was just sleeping! The change was so obvious that it was astounding! Instantly, the remaining bit of worry and disdain in Claudia's head had all disappeared. Now, she only had one thought—if there was only one man i
Claudia didn't leave immediately to get the Obsidian Flame Grass. Instead, she tried to confirm Theo's condition first. "Mr. Henderson, is Theo's body really alright now?" "Apart from the incision on his stomach, everything else is fine." Woody didn't provide her with any sort of after-care guarantee like other doctors would. But this was because there was simply no need for it! When the Majestic Ruler appeared, even death would run away in fear! This was the best guarantee from him. Claudia nodded and said, "Alright, please give me a moment." After that, she turned around and left. "What are you guys waiting for? Take these useless pieces of trash out!" Theo stared at the expensive medical equipment with an impatient look on his face. However, his words carried a double meaning—the medical equipment wasn't the only useless trash he was referring to. It included Istvan and the other doctors. This was extremely humiliating to the usually arrogant Istvan who felt himself to
Solomon didn't dare to resist and could only comply.By the time everyone arrived at the back of the mountain, the sky was already starting to lighten.Directly ahead lied a deep canyon with steep cliffs.Woody tied one end of the rope to the bridge pillar, slung the coil of rope over his shoulder, and nodded to the people around him."Is there something wrong?" Woody asked the battered elder.The elder quickly responded, "No problem!"Woody pushed off with one foot, launching himself into the air toward the other side of the cliff.While Woody was halfway through the flight, his body began to plummet downward.From this angle, he didn't stand a chance of making it across.At that moment, a giant eagle swooped in from the side.The elder stood at the edge of the cliff and blew the eagle whistle.The giant eagle spread its wings, and with Woody stepping onto its back, they instantly shifted from falling to ascending.In the next moment, he landed steadily at the edge of the
Woody's bold statements echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Union Headquarters.In the past, if anyone dared to speak to their union president like that, Solomon wouldn't even need to say anything–the followers alone would leave the person questioning their life choices!In front of the Headquarters, how could he be allowed to speak recklessly?The current situation was that Woody not only said something, but also tore down their gate and injured dozens of their people.Of course, this number wasn't set in stone.If anyone else dared to step up, Woody certainly wouldn't hold back and was more than willing to help the Martial Arts Union continue increasing the number of casualties."You... have quite the attitude!"Solomon, being the union president of the alliance, held a certain standing and position, so it was unlikely for him to just back down easily.In reality, he had been feeling extremely anxious for quite some time.The eight seasoned elders teamed up and still c
He didn't want anyone to mention it, especially in public."Where are the eight elders?" Solomon's eyes were filled with rage as he shouted loudly."Here!" The eight elders spoke in unison, giving their response."That person destroyed our place and harmed our followers; he should be struck down on the spot to serve as a warning to others," Solomon said through gritted teeth.The eight elders responded in unison, "Yes, sir!""Attack!"The eight of them were all masters of martial arts who had reached the Peak level.They had impressive performance!At the headquarters, in terms of both status and strength, they were second only to Solomon.Even the legendary Martial God wouldn't stand a chance against the combined strength of these eight individuals.They coordinated seamlessly, surrounding Woody and launching a flurry of fierce attacks from all directions.If it were someone else, they would have been torn apart by them.Woody remained calm, letting his mind wander for a m
In the darkness, countless shadows darted back and forth.When they clearly saw that the gateway, which symbolized the Martial Arts Union, had been destroyed and was now nothing more than a pile of rubble, they were immediately filled with rage."Who dared to be so bold and fearless!""How dare you tear down the Martial Arts Union's gate? You're asking for trouble.""Whoever it is, they're definitely not a good person. Let's deal with them thoroughly first and ask questions later!"A crowd filled with anger saw what appeared to be a figure standing in front of the ruins."Hey kid, did you see who did it?"A sharp-eyed person noticed that the figure was a young man and immediately started questioning him."I'm warning you, this situation is serious. You need to tell everything you've seen, or else you'll face the consequences."Woody stood calmly and said, "I saw it.""Come on, who is it?" a group of people demanded in unison.Woody said calmly, "That's me!""What?!"The gr
Rudolf immediately became anxious. He shielded his granddaughter, Penny, while loudly rebuking, "Mr. Edwards, is this really how your Martial Arts Union treats guests? If word gets out, we won't be afraid of becoming the laughingstock of our peers in the martial arts community!"Solomon was completely unfazed. "You think you're worthy of being called guests?"Faced with a large group of people who were eyeing them aggressively, the three of them were no match at all.It was quickly dealt with!"Solomon, aren't you worried that Mr. Snider's disciple, Woody, will come looking for trouble if you do this?" Rudolf shouted loudly while struggling.Solomon couldn’t care less. “If he dares to come, I will make sure he gets a taste of being a prisoner! The person you were taught by is no good, so it's likely you won't be any better. It's fitting that you pay off your teacher's debt. Let both the old man and you face the consequences together!"What's all the fuss about Woody? He's just a
Solomon was using very offensive language.Miranda had a cold look on her face, but since she was on someone else's turf, she couldn't act out.Jaycee was actually Solomon's sister, and there was an age difference of over twenty years between them.After Jaycee was born, her parents passed away due to illness. Before their death, they entrusted her, still an infant, to the care of Solomon.Solomon had a hard time raising his younger sister by himself. Now, as he watched her grow into a beautiful and talented young woman, she was becoming increasingly admired by people in the martial arts community.There were so many people trying to arrange marriages with the Edwards family that they practically wore down the doorstep from their frequent visits.Solomon was overwhelmed with options, dreaming of his sister marrying into a wealthy family and securing a beautiful marriage.Dreams shattered!Jaycee, who was as fresh and naive, ended up being paired with someone considered old and
To be honest, Woody was quite intrigued.Every time he got into a scuffle with the underlings, he couldn't help but deeply miss Alexia.The esteemed Princess of the Epochal Realm was clearly being used by him as a henchman.The key point is that Alexia wasn't upset at all; instead, she was quite happy to help."No way."Reason overcame impulse, and Woody frowned as he said, "You have to stay at home. Only then can I be at ease."Alexia's expression fell. "Alright then!"Woody laughed and said, "You're being so obedient, I must reward you for that.""What kind of reward?" Her ears perked up with excitement, and her eyes were sparkling.Woody pulled a serpent's core of his pocket and said, "I promised you a gift earlier, and now I'm making good on that promise."Alexia's eyes lit up with excitement again. "The serpent's inner core!"In the past, she would not have paid any attention to the inner core of this quality.Every extra look is an insult to the title "Princess of the
Edwin was, of course, unconvinced! As the teacher, he had failed, but the student had succeeded on the first try. If it wasn't sheer luck, then what was it? Woody didn't respond and picked up a second heavenly crystal. Moments later, he succeeded again! Edwin's eyes widened in amazement, as though he witnessed something truly extraordinary. Meanwhile, the admiration on Alexia's face skyrocketed. "Try it again!" Edwin was still unwilling to accept it. This time, Woody didn't humor him and directly put away the remaining heavenly crystals. "What's the meaning of this?" Edwin widened his eyes. Woody stood up to leave and without looking back, he said, "Thanks!""Wait, are you sure you've fully mastered it?"Edwin hurried after him and said, "What if something goes wrong? I can help you figure it out!""No need. If my master believes he's fine, then he's definitely going to be fine," Alexia said, blocking the old man and speaking with solemn assurance. At that moment, Edwin's
Edwin stiffened his neck, trying to maintain a normal expression to cover up his embarrassment as his earlier demonstration had ended in failure. Although he knew the method, his lack of practice over the years had led to a mistake, which was understandable.""Ha..." Alexia let out a big yawn, her eyelids feeling as though they were weighed down by a thousand pounds; she was getting sleepy!Edwin's lengthy lecture had successfully bored her into a drowsy state. As for the later parts of the lesson, it didn't register in her mind at all; everything he said went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace behind. "Carry on…"Alexia stretched lazily signaling for the two of them to continue without being affected by her. This left Edwin feeling utterly defeated! He felt as though he had been slapped in the face! Putting a student to sleep was already embarrassing enough, but to make matters worse, his demonstration had also failed. "It's fine, let me try." Woody volunteered.
