Philip followed behind Neon. He was invited by Neon, so he had to follow him. He had no idea what was going on in Neon’s family, but since Neon had made a humble request, he could not sit idly by. After the two entered the door, they saw a man with a potbelly and a good-looking young man. Another haggard old man lay on the bed. The young man resembled Neon, so Philip guessed he was Neon’s brother. “Did I not say that no one is allowed to enter?” the young man said unhappily. “Nero Bell, don't think that you can do anything just because you’re my elder brother. Why do you have to save people behind closed doors? Do you really think the doctors you hire are great?” Neon snapped. The man with a pot belly stood aside unhappily with a few pills in hand. “Mr. Nero, what’s going on? Did you hire another doctor? This is a disrespect to me! If that’s the case, don’t blame me for not treating the patient!” The man was an alchemist and claimed to be Declan's apprentice. Now that t
Neon mocked. The man with a pot belly said smugly, “My teacher is Declan Lindell, someone beyond your reach in this lifetime!” Neon frowned. He could not verify this. He had no way to retrieve the list of scammers or he could easily expose the other party. However, Philip could not bear the excitement anymore. “Wait, who did you say your teacher is?” Philip could not accept someone tarnishing his apprentice’s reputation. He could tell at a glance that the other party had no exotic fire at all. It was common knowledge that people without exotic fire could not make pills. This person was bad enough for bragging, but now that his apprentice was involved, Philip could not let him be. “I just mentioned it, didn’t I? Who are you to speak to me?” The fat man was very arrogant and did not take Philip seriously. Philip smiled and nudged Neon. “In that case, go ahead and treat the old master. Let’s see what you can do.” That guy was so arrogant that Philip planned to ask his
Everyone panicked and rushed forward to help the old man up. At this moment, Nero and Neon noticed that the old man was no longer breathing. They were shocked and angry at this development. “What's going on? Why did he die all of a sudden?” Neon asked his brother angrily, flabbergasted by this outcome. Although the old man had always been unconscious, he was still alive. He could not accept this sudden turn of events. Neon stepped forward to hit the fat man, who avoided him nimbly. He stood in the corner and looked at the old man nervously. Philip saw the panic in his eyes. “How did this happen? I’ve never encountered any problems with this pill before,” the fat man muttered in disbelief, wondering why this happened. “You’re nothing but a fraud!” Neon wanted to kill him. Philip walked forward. He helped the old man up and stuffed a pill into his mouth. Nero wanted to stop Philip, but it was too late. Neon stopped chasing the fat guy and hurried back to the old man's
Everyone looked up blankly. Neon and Nero were ecstatic to see Declan, but the fat guy looked at him blankly, clearly not recognizing this old man. “It's great that you're here. Can you help us examine our father?” Neon rushed forward and brought Declan over warmly. Declan calmed down at Neon’s approach and followed him to the old man without any comment. “Please examine the old sir's condition. This buddy of mine just gave him a pill, and his condition has returned to normal for the time being,” Neon explained everything that had just happened. “I see. Since he has taken a pill, what else is there to examine? He has been cured for sure,” Declan said earnestly. The fat guy said, “That’s ridiculous. How can he recover after taking a pill? Do you think it’s a miracle pill? If a pill is really that useful, the old man wouldn’t have gone into shock after eating the pill I gave him!” Seeing his reaction, Philip stood up and said, “Whose apprentice did you say you were?” Phil
Although Neon was from a big family and had an immature mentality due to his pampered upbringing, he was ruthless and decisive. It would be a big mistake to think that it would be easy to fool him because he was young and naïve. The fat man was stunned to hear Declan's identity. “How is it possible? The top alchemist has gone missing. Why did this old man suddenly appear?” The fat man scowled. It would be over if it was the truth. “Cut the crap and catch hold of him. I want to teach him a good lesson!” Neon said fiercely. Nero pinned the fat man to the floor furiously. Philip sighed and turned his attention to the old man. After his treatment, the old man returned to normal and purged all the dirty blood in him. The floor was covered in black blood and dead bugs, a ghastly sight. The old man slowly woke up. He glanced around weakly, looking for his family members. Neon ran over and looked at him with great concern. “Dad, you’re finally awake!” Neon said excitedly.
The man was flabbergasted that his secret had been exposed. “If you don’t tell the truth, your family may be affected in the future. If I’m not mistaken, your family members have been impacted to a certain extent,” Philip said calmly. He had seen through everything. Philip knew quite a lot about this legendary secret technique. Neon and Nero looked at their father, who did not look too good. The two of them said in unison, “Dad, you should tell us or we may be implicated. Besides, it sounds like someone is out to get you. I guess that person won't let you go.” They were very concerned about their father's health. He probably would not be able to withstand it if the other party attacked him again. Everyone scowled at the thought of this. Philip sighed. He could not do anything if the old man refused to say it. The man struggled for a long time and finally decided. “Back then, I went to the South Cloud Region, also known as South City.” Philip sat on a stool and prepared
“You got that right. I was wondering why Mom passed away for no reason when she was in good health!” Nero was upset too. He never dreamed that his father’s old sweetheart would harm his mother to that extent. Philip pointed at Neon. “You were facing the same situation, but your reaction wasn't that obvious because you’re still young. You would've probably found your health failing in a few years,” Philip said calmly. Neon grimaced and wished he could kill that woman! No wonder his body was never fully developed. This was the reason! At this time, Nero looked at Philip nervously, wondering if he was affected too. Philip seemed quite good at this, so he wanted to ask Philip to examine him. “Excuse me, sir, can you examine me too?” Nero looked at Philip eagerly, hoping that Philip could solve his problem. Philip scrutinized Nero and found something, indeed. “Have you been feeling weak recently, always feel uncomfortable as if bugs are crawling all over your body? “Do
Nero rushed to Philip and begged Philip to save him. “Philip, it’d be great if you could help me!” Nero looked at Philip expectantly, ready to give Philip all his fortune. “I can give you all my money. Please save me!” Nero said humbly. Philip was not used to such humbleness. “No problem. You just need to buy a pill to save your life. Your problems are not such a big deal. Here you go.” Philip handed a pill to Nero. The pill was sold in his store, so Philip did not think highly of it. Nero was moved by Philip’s words. He took the pill from Philip and swallowed it in one gulp. He respected Philip very much. Philip smiled in satisfaction as Nero took the pill. Neon and the old man stared at Nero curiously, waiting to see what would happen. After Nero took the pill, he was shocked to find some changes happening in his body. The sensation of crawling bugs disappeared, and his limbs became very warm and comfortable. “I feel like I'm back to normal,” Nero said in surprise
