The necklace was already ready, and Elder Shear called to ask Leon for his address so he could send the necklace over.Leon saw that it was about time for him to get off work, so he did not want to trouble Elder Shear. He made an appointment with Elder Shear, and prepared to go over himself to get it after work. He would get to thank Elder Shear as well.The Shears were one of the four great families of Springfield City, and was the one that kept the lowest profile out of the four. Their manor was at the foot of a lush, green hill. The scenery was incredibly beautiful. It looked like a paradise. It looked like an amazing place to hide away and rest.In the courtyard, Elder Shear was at the center of the garden and was playing chess.The man in front of him was a young man about thirty years of age.The young man had sharp eyes, and looked incredibly dignified. He was Harvey Shear, Elder Shear's grandson and the most gifted man in that generation. He was the first in line to take
However, the design of the necklace was complicated, so it took a bit more time. Master Summers finally finished his masterpiece."Grandfather, Master Summers is the most famous smith of Springfield City. I heard that he already retired for almost ten years. If you didn't have some dealings with him in the past, he would not have come out of retirement for this!" Harvey said with a smile."That's right. To get him to help me, I practically had to beg him before he finally decided to give in," Elder Shear laughed."Grandfather, these two necklaces are beautiful, but the center of the imperial greens are the most vibrant parts. This must not be cheap. It's also a masterpiece that Master Summers made after ten years of not working. There's an incredible significance to it.""Are you just going to give it away for nothing?" Cynthia pouted and did not look very willing.Imperial green was very rare and valuable. In the market, those two necklaces made of imperial green would be worth a
"I've already promised Leon. How could I go back on my word?! I'm the head of the Shears. If I go back on my words, I'd be a laughing stock!" Elder Shear had a serious and adamant look on his face.He loved his granddaughter. He would have never disappointed her if this was anything else, but it involved his family's reputation. He could not joke around with that."But…" Cynthia still wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Elder Shear."There are no buts. If you want it, then pick one of them. If you don't, then I'll just give both of them to Leon so we won't have to separate the twins," Elder Shear said."Of course, I want one! I'll just take one then. It's better than nothing!" Cynthia was forced to accept it, picking the Red Star of the Sea and holding it dearly.Not too long later, Leon arrived at the Shears household. A guard led him to the garden, and Leon met the group."Elder Shear, it's been a while," Leon smiled and greeted Benedict."Leon, you're here. Le
Benedict just smiled.The Shears were one of Springfield's top four families. They wielded considerable power. How could he possibly have anything that required Leon's assistance?If he really ran into a problem that the Shears couldn't solve, Leon wouldn't be able to help."It's almost dinnertime, Leon. Why don't you stay for dinner?" Phoebe said, smiling."I don't want to impose..."Leon excused himself and was about to leave when he caught sight of Phoebe's face. He could see a glimmer of dark energy on Phoebe's brow.The dark energy was enigmatic. He would not have noticed it if he had not been so well-versed in medicine."Leon, what exactly is it?" Benedict and his family were perplexed when they saw Leon come to a halt."Please forgive me for being blunt, Elder Shear. Madam Shear has a dark aura around her. This is a bad omen. She might not have much longer..." Leon stated after some thought."What?""My grandmother is in perfect health. How could she possibly be so y
Leon was very sad, but since he owed Benedict, he still recommended Graham to them.After that, he bid his farewells and brought the necklace away."That brat doesn't know his place! I'm so angry!" Looking at Leon leave, Benedict slammed his hand on the desk. His eyes widened in anger. His good impressions on Leon completely disappeared."Benedict, don't be angry. That man might have just been trying to be nice. He might not have meant anything bad," Phoebe consoled with a smile."How could he be trying to be kind? He clearly has ill intentions!""I think that he must've thought that grandmother was paralyzed after seeing her in the wheelchair. That's why he deliberately made a fuss. He wanted to take the chance to get closer to our family!""He didn't know that she was just having joint pains, so he failed to trick us!" Cynthia sneered and said."Yes, that's possible," Harvey nodded, feeling like his sister might be right.After all, they were one of the four big families of S
"Don't get us wrong, Graham. We never requested medical services from anyone else. Some kid named Leon just took it upon himself to act as if he knows what's going on and spout a whole load of nonsense!" Benedict explained immediately."Leon, you say?" Graham's heart skipped a beat and he stood up abruptly from his seat."Yes, his name's Leon. What's gotten into you, Graham?" Benedict looked at Graham with surprise and did not understand why the latter had such a huge reaction."Elder Shear, can you tell me more about how old this Leon person is and how he looks like..." Graham was on the verge of hyperventilating and he had no idea if it was the Leon in question was the same Leon he met before."He's a tall and slender young man in his mid-twenties..." Benedict described Leon's appearance in a few simple words."It really is him!" Graham felt like he was struck by lightning and stood helplessly on the spot."You know him?" Benedict seemed to have noticed that something was wrong
"You can ask him to try," Graham said hurriedly."Oh yes! How could I forget about him? He said that he was about sixty to seventy percent sure that he could cure it! That would mean he has a way to cure it!" Benedict rejoiced and immediately took out his cell phone to call Leon. However, the smile on his face froze immediately after he realized that he chased Leon away earlier.Cynthia saw how awkward her grandfather was and took the initiative to say, "Grandpa, that Leon guy just left, so he's probably still nearby. I'll go get him to come back here and heal Grandma!""Okay. Hurry up and chase after him! Please remember to show your sincerity, even if it means having to beg him..." Benedict instructed. He felt that it would be more sincere if his granddaughter was the one who personally went to ask for Leon's help again."I understand..."Without waiting for Benedict to say anything else, Cynthia rushed out like a bullet train and immediately gave chase in the direction Leon wen
Leon spoke in earnest. He witnessed Graham's medical skills back at the Youngs and saw the man's sheer ability both in alternative medicine and conventional medicine. Leon's pressure point treatment skills might be better than that Graham's, but he was a mere layman compared to Graham in terms of medical experience and insights. It was therefore much better for the Shears to get treatment for the old lady from Graham, rather than a half-baked doctor!"You..." Cynthia was seconds away from exploding with rage.She would not have rushed to Leon and asked for his help if Graham was able to cure her grandmother! Of all the things he could have said, he chose to justify his actions by bringing up Graham as an excuse! It was quite clear to her that he mocked her!A proud woman like her could never accept that kind of attitude from someone else!"Don't be so ungrateful! I should let you know that it's an honor for you to heal my grandma! We Shears will the ones to look up to you! Don't yo
