"Elder Wick, if I'm honest, your myocarditis was not completely cured five years ago, and eventually left some latent health problems. It's these latent health problems lurking in your body that caused your sudden heart illness! This isn't coronary heart disease!" Leon explained.Bernard was enlightened. "I see! Are you able to heal me then?""Yes. When I gave you my pressure point treatment earlier, all those latent problems have been removed. I'm going to give you a prescription. Your condition will be completely cured if you take it for a week."Bernard motioned for the bodyguard to get a pen and paper. Leon then wrote the prescription down and handed it back to the elderly man."Thank you very much for your kindness, young man. I don't know how I'm going to repay you for your kindness... Here, take this check. This is a small token of my appreciation. You can treat it as my consultation fee. Please take it!"Bernard said with much gratitude. He took out a blank check from his
Even Hilmar was no exception. The slight dissatisfaction he had toward Leon earlier had all but changed into admiration for Leon's incredible medical skills and ethics.After hesitating for a bit, he eventually walked up to Leon and bowed deeply. "Mister Wolf, I have repeatedly called your medical skills into question and I wish to express my heartfelt apologies for my rudeness! I've never had a high opinion of alternative medicine, and I believed that it was inferior to modern medicine. You've taught me a very vivid lesson today, and I was able to learn a lot from you, so thank you!""You think too highly of me, Doctor Schwabe. You're a well-known senior figure in the field of medicine, and I still have a long way to go to reach your level," Leon downplayed the praise and did not take Hilmar's previous actions to heart."Here's my business card, Mister Wolf. Feel free to call me anytime if you need help in the future."Bernard took out his business card and handed it to Leon; he a
After getting off work, Leon rode his motorcycle straight to the largest flea market in Springfield City.According to the records inherited within his memory, there was a certain pattern called the Energy Convergence Circle that could be used to concentrate one's spiritual energy. It was very conducive toward speeding up the gathering and refinement of his spiritual energy, as it allowed his energy refinement to multiply with only half the effort!The mountain behind the villa was teeming with spiritual energy, so Leon planned to set up his Energy Converge Circle on the mountain to see if it could increase the speed of his energy refinement.However, he needed jade to set up the Energy Convergence Circle.Natural jade was abundant in spiritual energy, and the Energy Convergence Circle's effect increased proportionately with the amount of spiritual energy within the jade.Leon headed to the flea market to buy some of that jade and set up the circle....Somewhere outside Antiqua
"Listen closely, Wolf. This is a warning! Stay the hell away from Marilyn! Harass her again and I swear to God, I'll kill you!" Brody warned with a grim expression.Leon clenched his fist tightly but then loosened it right away.The Sullivans were very wealthy, and they were not the kind of people that should be provoked. Since Leon was still a ways to go from reaching true strength, he did not want to have any head-on conflict with Brody so soon because it would only be to his detriment."Piss off!" Brody snorted coldly and loosened his grip on Leon's collar.Leon said nothing more and walked silently toward the flea market."Why'd you let him go, babe? Why didn't you give him a good beating? Leon's a loser and Iris isn't even his girlfriend anymore. She dumped him already!" Marilyn said unhappily.Iris slapped her twice in the Civil Records Office the other day, and knowing that she was powerless to seek revenge against Iris, Leon became her only outlet to channel all her anger
"You again, Wolf? You're like a mosquito that just won't get off our backs! I just warned you earlier not to harass Marilyn again. You're asking for it, you know that!" Brody was furious and stared fiercely at Leon."No one's harassing her. I already told you two that I'm here to get something. Don't be unreasonable!" Leon shot back coldly. He did not expect to bump into them so quickly when the flea market was such a huge place."I'm not buying your nonsense! You came in as soon as we set foot in this store. That's too big of a coincidence! Why do you have to be such a creep? Is it because Iris doesn't want a useless piece of trash like you?" Marilyn had a look of contempt on her face. She and Brody were secretly hoping to meet Leon again so they could teach Leon a lesson, but his act of stalking her made it obvious that he had bad intentions toward her! It was an entirely different justification altogether!"I don't have time to play with your games!"Leon ignored Brody and Mar
"Darling, why don't we have a look at another store if we can't find one here?" Marilyn suggested.Brody shook his head. "There's no point. this shop is the largest and most famous one here. If there aren't any high-quality products here, it's even less likely for the other shops to have them. We'll just be wasting our time if we go there.""What should we do then?" Marilyn's heart sank. She just got her marriage certificate with Brody two days ago, and it was the first time that Brody officially brought her home to meet his elders. Furthermore, it was also a very important occasion because it was a birthday banquet.The two of them needed to get a good birthday gift and make a good first impression. Substandard products simply could not cut it!"How about we have a look at the raw jade stones over there? If we can find one that's good enough, we can always ask a master craftsman to carve the finished product in a couple of days. We can make it in time for grandpa's birthday banque
"Seven hundred thousand!" Leon's face soured even more.If what he sensed earlier was correct, then there was almost certainly a very strong and pure energy coming from inside that raw jade stone. It would be more than enough to set up an Energy Convergence Circle!He was determined not to give up on such a good piece of jade so easily!"Eight hundred thousand!"Brody continued to increase the price."Nine hundred thousand!" Leon gritted his teeth."One million!" Brody looked at Leon with a teasing expression."I..." Leon's face became ashen. His total assets were only 1.4 million. Excluding the 7,000-dollar medical expenses he forked for Serena and the 300,000-dollar security deposit he just paid, he had just over 1.3 million left.Where was he going to get the extra money to rival Brody's offer?"One million?""That small piece of raw jade stone reached one million in that bidding war? Are those two guys crazy?""This is beyond crazy. I think something's wrong with their
Brody had been leading Leon up the garden path, causing the latter to spend more than a million bucks for no good reason!Such an amount of money was not a small sum for him, and he could feel his heart aching after suffering such a huge loss."That dude just took the poor guy for a spin!""Poor young man. He spent more than a million only to look like a fool in the end!""He'll be pissed for sure if that piece of raw jade stone ends up being worthless!"Everyone came to that sudden realization and began looking at Leon with pity and contempt. They all felt that Leon was the epitome of a sucker!Leon suppressed the anger in his heart. He might have been tricked by Brody, but at the very least he was successful in obtaining that piece of raw jade stone. The only thing left for him to do was hope that the jade could provide him with what he wanted. After all, having it fail on him was the last thing that he wanted! He would have been a real fool if that were to happen!"You're jus
