"No need for that! You're not even a proper doctor, and yet you insist on treating Roanne willy-nilly. Are you trying to kill her? I'm warning you—you'd better let go of her right this instant, or else!" Angus snarled, channeling his true energy within his palms as a threat. He wanted nothing more than to take down Leon right then and there, but since Roanne was still in his hands, Angus had no choice but to stifle his anger for the time being. "I'm not treating her willy-nilly," Leon wanted to defend himself, but considering that Angus did not even believe him in the first place, there was no way he could convince Angus to change his mind! Vivian and Yuri approached him. "Mister Wolf, right? I appreciate your kindness in wanting to help, but it'd be best if you hand Roanne over to us for now," Vivian said frantically. She was worried sick about her daughter's sudden deterioration. "Oh, alright then." Leon had no choice but to relent and hand Roanne over to her mother and brot
"What? This twat has a treasure with him? Is this true?" Angus could not believe his ears. He knew just how rare treasures were, especially those that harnessed Light Energy—they were so hard to come by that not even any of the Thompsons managed to get their hands on one! Angus never once dreamed that a nobody like Leon would be able to get his hands on the treasure they sought! One could only imagine his shock at this! "As true as it can ever be, Father! Leon has already promised me that he will lend the treasure to us if he can't cure Roanne successfully," Yuri added. "Well, it's no wonder!" Angus finally understood why his son was willing to allow Leon, who was not even a legitimate doctor, to try his hand at treating Roanne. It turned out that Yuri was doing this all for the treasure! "Splendid, this is splendid! I can't believe the treasure is right in front of us all this while!" Angus burst into laughter, then turned to stare at Leon with a softened gaze. "Can you len
"Mister Wolf, you've already promised me that you'd lend us the treasure, since all of us are begging you for it now, you might as well just lend it to us!" Yuri pleaded after a moment's hesitation. According to their previous agreement, Leon was supposed to lend the Luminous Pearl to the Thompsons if he failed to treat Roanne's condition, but now, since Elder Swire was already here to take care of her, there was no longer any need for Leon to do so, lest something terrible happens during the process! After all, Elder Swire was the best doctor in town, and surely he was far better than Leon, who was not even a proper doctor! Because of this, Yuri was far more inclined to believe in Elder Swire's capabilities! "That's right! Mister Wolf, it would be as easy as that to lend the Thompsons your treasure. Why do you have to be so stubborn," Raphael piped up. "Alright, alright! since none of you believe me, I'll show you right now that the Luminous Pearl doesn't harness any Light
"Yes, I do! This Luminous Pearl is a rare treasure that contains highly purified true energy. Hence, its effects surely won't be too far off from using a treasure that harnesses Light Energy! With such powerful energy in combination with my Pressure Point Treatment, I'm sure I can unblock Miss Thompson's internal circulation and cure her for good." Elder Swire declared confidently. "This is splendid! Please, go ahead, Elder Swire!" Angus was overjoyed to hear this and quickly egged Elder Swire on. "No, you can't do that!" Leon objected. "Why not? Are you questioning my expertise, young man?" Elder Swire furrowed his brows, glancing at Leon with a displeased look. "Elder Swire, your method will indeed be effective against Third Degree Blocks, but unfortunately, Miss Thompson's condition is not just that of a simple Third Degree Block. She is a rare entity of the Darkness Complex, and if you go ahead and unblock her internal circulation, it will release a powerful surge of Dark E
"You—" Leon was utterly infuriated by this. He was so kind as to help Roanne, but Angus was not only ungrateful for his help, he even threatened him time and time again! Leon was utterly disappointed at getting treated this way. "Well, since none of you believe me, I won't force you to change your minds! Give me back the treasure, and I'll leave right this instant!" Leon snapped, trying to stifle his rage as he pulled the Luminous Pearl back. "No! You can leave, but the treasure has to stay!" Angus scoffed as he reached out, unleashing a powerful surge of energy straight toward Leon. "That's incredible!" Leon gasped when he sensed Angus's power. He was no match for Angus at all, and before he could even react, Angus's energy smacked him squarely in the middle of his chest. The color drained from Leon's face as he staggered backward, a strange sensation rising in his chest. Finally, something leaped into his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood! Thankfull
Angus took no notice of Leon's warning at all and instead turned to gaze at Elder Swire with an apologetic look. "Elder Swire, we Thompsons didn't mean to offend you. It was that punk who kept trying to interrupt you, and he in no way is affiliated with us. Please do forgive us for this confusion!" "Alright then!" Elder Swire finally began to relax at this. "Elder Swire, time is running out, please save our daughter!" Angus pleaded. "I will!" Elder Swire nodded, then strode over to the bed and started pressing his fingers on Roanne's pressure points. There were 12 main channels of internal circulation within the human body, which were the Three Dark Channels of the Arm, the Three Light Channels of the Arm, the Three Dark Channels of the Leg, and finally, the Three Light Channels of the Leg. Each of these channels were interlinked with the other and drained a major organ respectively. The three internal channels that were blocked in Roanne's case were the Supreme Channel, t
All of a sudden, Roanne's eyelids flew open as a flush of redness surged into her cheeks. Then, she bent over, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and passed out within seconds. "Roanne, what's going on?" Angus and Vivian were utterly shocked by this. Vivian immediately lunged toward the bed and grabbed hold of her daughter, crying out Roanne's name over and over, but there was no response from her at all! Not only that but although Roanne also passed out a few minutes ago, her condition was stable beforehand. Now, however, her eyes were clamped tightly shut, and her breathing was gradually becoming labored as though she were in grave danger! Even an idiot could tell that her condition deteriorated and was now in a critical state! "What's going on, Elder Swire? Why did my daughter vomit blood all of a sudden, and become so weak?" Angus' eyes were bloodshot as he turned to shoot Elder Swire a stern look. "I don't know," Elder Swire felt as though he was struck by lightning.
"I've already told you this before—Miss Thompson has a condition known as the Darkness Complex, and all the Dark Energy has been trapped within her for many years now. Therefore, we can't unblock her channels willy-nilly. Now that Elder swire has unblocked her Liver Channel, all the Dark Energy is coursing through the channel right into her heart," Leon sighed. The Liver Channel led into the Pericardial Channel, which was the main channel of the outer layer of the heart—the pericardium. Initially, the Dark Energy within Roanne's body was maintained at equilibrium, and she would not be in any immediate danger so long as the Dark Energy did not surpass the threshold. However, now that the Liver Channel was unblocked, all the Dark Energy was surging right into her heart, and its consequences would be dire! "I can't believe it. It turns out Miss Thompson does have the Darkness Complex," Elder Swire was stunned to hear this. He finally realized that Leon warned him all along! Ho
