With a thud, Jared knelt before Leon without any hesitation. He then raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, saying, "Mister Wolf, I'm deeply sorry about what happened earlier. I shouldn't have treated you that way when all you so kindly offered to save my mother. I'm such a terrible human being..." Jared felt very guilty and remorseful."Don't sweat it. This was all just a misunderstanding, but I do hope that you won't act so impulsively in the future..."Leon knew that Jared did not mean to punch him. He was not that petty of a person either, so he stretched out his hand to help Jared up.Bowden did not expect such a dramatic change in the situation. His expression turned ugly, and he scoffed coldly, "Don't bother thanking this guy, Lily! Aunt Serena's condition has already shown positive signs after receiving treatment in our hospital during this period. He just happened to put the finishing touches to the treatment by groping around without any direction!""You're wron
"How shameless of him!""Can you believe his sheer lack of medical ethics when passing those garbage ingredients off as valuable just to fool his patients?""You couldn't be more right! The medication we're put on is probably the same too!"The other two patients scoffed and looked at Bowden with even more disdain. At the same time, they were secretly worried that they were similarly tricked by other unethical doctors!"Forget it, Lily. Bowden helped us a lot during this time, and it was his way of showing kindness too. Let's just put this matter to rest. My illness is cured too, so there's no need for me to stay here anymore. You and Jared should pack up so we can go home as soon as I'm discharged," Serena said without explicitly blaming Bowden. After all, her family was neighbors with Bowden's family for many years, and she did not want to go too deep into it."Discharged? Not so fast! Aunt Serena, you still owe more than seven thousand dollars for the hospitalization and medica
"Exactly!""Of the many shameless people that I've seen before, I've never seen someone this shameless!""Miss Summers is a beautiful woman, and he needs to look in the mirror and understand how unattractive he looks. How can someone like him be worthy of her?""I wonder where he got all his confidence!"The other two patients in the ward were amused by Bowden's brazenness and voiced their support for Lily.Bowden threw a fit. "I've already laid out the conditions, Aunt Serena. If you don't agree, then you need to pay up the seven thousand dollars immediately or I'll call the police! Don't blame me then if the police arrest you for making off without payment!""But..."Serena and her two children were speechless. Forking out 700 dollars was difficult enough, what more than 7,000 dollars?Where were they going to get so much money?For a moment, the three of them were in so much despair that they did not know what to do next."It's just seven thousand, right? I'll help you pay
Serena and her two children were at a loss and exchanged confused glances at each other. They had no idea whatsoever as to what Leon tried to do."Oh, shut it, you arrogant snob! Isn't it just a couple of grands? What makes you think I can't fork out that kind of money?" Leon stared coldly at Bowden. It was Elder Young who gave him that bank card. Elder Young said that it contained about one and a half million, and Leon did not think that the old man would lie to him."Enough with your stubbornness! Isn't it obvious that you don't have much money? Take your tacky saloon membership card and get the hell out of here!" Bowden's had a look of disdain as he picked up the bank card and raised his hand to throw it at Leon's face."Hold that thought!" Edward stopped Bowden right away. He took the bank card for a closer inspection and was immediately overcome with surprise.From his extensive knowledge, he quickly recognized that it was the Supreme Card issued by Rivercity Bank!Rivercity
"No... Doctor Hoover, I can explain. The medicine that I've been selling to my patients is beneficial. They're not harmful…" Bowden panicked and tried to explain, but then again, none of his explanations held any water! After all, a person of high status like Leon would have no reason to make false accusations against someone insignificant like him."I don't want to hear any of it! You're fired, effective immediately! Get out, Bowden!"Edward slapped the table angrily."No... Doctor Hoover, please give me another chance..." Bowden wailed and begged as he crawled to Edward's feet."Get lost! Security, kick him out of the building, please!"Edward kicked Bowden away. With a wave of his hand, the security guards grabbed Bowden fiercely and dragged him out!"Wonderful!""Indeed!""Unethical vermin like him deserve this! It's so satisfying to see his downfall!"The other two patients in the ward clapped their hands and cheered."Could you please wait a moment, Mister Wolf? I'll ha
Back at Dragonbay Villas, Jenny, the nanny, was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen when Leon returned home."Hey, Aunt Jenny. Where's Iris, by the way? Why isn't she around?" Leon asked curiously."Oh, she's working overtime at the company and hasn't come back yet, but she'll probably be back soon," Jenny said with a smile. She already got used to Iris working overtime."It's almost nine now! She's so hardworking!"Leon was speechless, admiring Iris's hard work!It was no surprise that the Elegante Group expanded numerous times in the two years after it was handed over to Iris. Such an achievement was not by pure chance!Soon, the main door swung open, and Iris walked in.Leon came to the living room and poured a cup of hot water for her."Why are you working so late, Iris? Aren't you tired?""It's not that tiring. The company has recently gotten a project that requires us to follow up, and it happens to be related to our prospects for development. The last thing I want is for
Leon took a deep breath and discovered that he guessed right that morning. The spiritual energy there was strong—many times more than in the villa—and thus made it more suitable for him to refine his internal energy.Before long, he found himself in an open area and sat crossed-legged on the ground to begin the energy refinement process.The spiritual energy in the villa was thin, and it took him almost an entire night to complete his refinement there.By contrast, the spiritual energy in the forest was very dense, and the corresponding effect of refinement was incredibly excellent. He could complete a week's worth of energy refinement in just over two hours.Seeing that it was still early, Leon continued to immerse himself in his refinement until about five or six the next morning. It was only when the sun peeked above the horizon that he ended his session."My strength seems to have increased after a night of refinement, and it's not too far off from mid-stage internal energy re
"Are you a doctor who practices alternative medicine?"The mention of, pressure point treatment, left the young man feeling rather surprised.Such alternative methods of medical treatment were on the decline in modern days. There were many aspects of such methods that made them less convenient and effective compared to conventional modern medicine.Moreover, the theory of alternative medicine was broad-ranging and profound, requiring a wealth of experience to be successful. Most of the famous alternative medicine practitioners were from the older generation.However, Leon seemed to be in his mid-20s and the most he learned was only some superficial knowledge of Chinese medicine.The young man could not help but think to himself, 'Is this guy's medical skills even reliable?'Leon shook his head and said truthfully, "I'm not an alternative medicine doctor, nor a normal conventional doctor...""What?! Then what are you even doing here? You're just wasting our time!"The young man'
