Chapter 17

Author: Mr. Z
A young man walked over with a disdainful expression. He was Sean Daniels, Walter’s son.

He had overheard what Clyde had said from afar and walked over upon knowing that Edward was the person Clyde had called over to save his grandfather. He couldn’t stand any more of this nonsense.

Walter scoffed. “Sean, don’t be rude.”

Sean said, “Dad, how am I being rude?

“I just think that scammers are becoming increasingly bold nowadays, turning their aim toward you, the mayor of Havaria.”

Clyde’s face turned dark with displeasure at Sean’s words.

Was Sean insinuating that he was an accomplice of a scammer?

Sean noticed the sullen look on Clyde’s face and said with a smile, “Mr. Hardwick, don’t be offended. I wasn’t exactly talking about you.

“I just think that you might be fooled by this punk and therefore fell for his words.”

Clyde said coldly, “I think you shouldn’t shoot your mouth off on this. Dr. Channing’s medical skills are impressive and I saw them for myself. Why would I bother

    “When my father was severely ill, I did consider calling for his help, but I just couldn’t find him. To think that you actually managed to find him this time.”It was clear from Clyde’s tone that he approved of Dr. Shaw’s medical skills.He then turned to look awkwardly at Edward.“I’m sorry, Dr. Channing. I didn’t know that they had called Dr. Shaw over and made you make a wasted trip here.”Sean said disdainfully, “Mr. Hardwick, why be so courteous to this brat? He’s just a scammer. Are you getting senile with age?”Edward’s brow arched as his gaze turned cold.Sean spoke so rudely to him the moment he appeared, and even he was beginning to get mad despite his mild temperament and good nature.Walter yelled at Sean, “Sean, is that how you should speak to Mr. Hardwick? What do I always tell you?”Walter scolded Sean not because he had insulted Edward, but because he had spoken inappropriately to Clyde.It was obvious that Walter didn’t really trust Edward’s words, which was w

    “Do you have a screw loose? How dare you say that we’ll come begging you?“If we really have to beg you for help, I’ll get down on my knees to do so!”Sean glared at Edward with fury, his face dark with displeasure.Clyde was taken aback by Edward’s claim.He hadn't expected Edward to speak so rudely to Walter.Although he had known Walter for many years and shared a good relationship with him, he himself didn’t dare to behave so rudely before Walter.After all, Walter was the most powerful man in Havaria and sat in a position of authority. Not everyone could afford to offend him.“Dr. Channing, do be careful with your words…“Walter, Dr. Channing didn’t mean what he said earlier. Please don’t take it to heart. I’ll take him away right now.”Clyde was worried that Edward’s words might incur Walter’s wrath and decided to take Edward away from this place.Just then, the doors to the emergency room flew open and an old man donning a white robe and a face mask emerged from inside

    Everyone turned their attention toward Edward.Walter said darkly, “What did you just say? Say it once more!”Edward looked fearlessly into Walter’s sharp eyes and said flatly, “I said, I can save him.”Sean looked at Edward derisively and yelled with anger, “Brat, quit talking nonsense! Even the legendary Dr. Shaw can’t do anything about it. What can you do?”Edward scoffed. “Just because he can’t doesn’t mean I can’t.”Charles approached Edward with a look of displeasure on his face. “Young man, may I know who your mentor is?”“I learned everything myself and have no mentor,” Edward replied to him indifferently.Charles said nothing upon hearing that Edward was a self-taught practitioner, but the look in his eyes betrayed the disregard and disdain he felt toward Edward.How dare a boy who didn't have the guidance of a mentor brag in front of him? He was seeing new heights of arrogance in this man.The derision and disdain in Sean’s eyes grew more intense.“You don’t even ha

    At the next moment, Walter was surprised to see that Edward wasn’t the least perturbed under his incisive gaze and in fact dared to look him straight in the eye.Walter was shocked at that realization. Even a business owner with a net worth of hundreds of millions wouldn’t dare look him in the eye, yet a rascal like Edward dared to.He was no simpleton indeed.Walter nodded his head slightly at the thought, saying darkly, “I’ll leave my father in your hands. If you can save him, our family will be greatly indebted to you.”Sean panicked at Walter’s words. He didn’t expect his father to agree to let Edward try saving his grandfather.But before Sean could open his mouth to speak, Walter shot him a cold glare which made him swallow his unspoken words.Edward strode into the emergency room without a word.A pale old man lay on the cold, hard bed. His eyes were shut tightly and his breathing was ragged. It was clear to see that he was on the brink of death. Walter and the rest fol

    One of the nurses checked the monitor and yelled out loud, “The patient’s heart rate is dropping. I’m afraid he won’t hold out for much longer.”The Daniels family looked panic-stricken at her announcement.Sean pleaded anxiously with Charles, “Dr. Shaw, please help my grandfather…”Charles shook his head. “I’ve already told you that Mr. Frederick is at the end of his life. Even God wouldn’t be able to save him.”Edward said calmly, “Quit talking nonsense if you’re lacking in medical skills. Just because you can’t save him doesn’t mean others can’t.”Fury burned in Charles’ eyes as he said coldly, “That’s quite a bold claim there, young man.“I’d like to see how you’ll save Mr. Frederick. If you really manage to do that, I’ll call you Master and be your apprentice.”Edward ignored Charles. With a wave of his right hand, the needles that were inserted in Mr. Frederick’s body flew to his fingers.With yet another wave, Edward sent the needles flying in the air, piercing with prec

    Everyone was immersed in joy to see Frederick awaken.They never expected their bubble of joy to burst with Edward’s words.Walter looked incisively at Edward and asked, “Young…Legendary Dr. Channing, what do you mean by that?”Walter had changed his address of Edward, a clear sign that he had a 180-degree turn in his attitude toward him.Clyde asked anxiously, “Dr. Channing, do you mean that Mr. Frederick is in such bad shape that even you can’t save him?”Everyone looked at Edward with doubt in their eyes as they waited anxiously for his explanation.Edward said flatly, “I’ve already made myself clear that I can save him.“I said that he was going to die in two minutes because I had no intention of saving him.”Edward’s words exploded in everyone’s minds like a bomb, their eyes widening in shock as they stared at him in disbelief.Had they just heard him wrongly?Edward had just said that he had no intention of saving Frederick.What did he mean by that?Walter’s eyes tur

    “He’ll admit his mistake when we show him. I’m sure he’ll cry and shout for a chance to save Mr. Frederick. Let’s just wait and see.”To the Daniels family, Edward had no right whatsoever to be negotiating with them.Just then, Charles stepped forward and stood right in front of Edward.“Don’t move, all of you! Who dares to lay a finger on my master?”Everyone was stunned by Charles’ words.Sean said, displeased, “Dr. Shaw, what do you mean by this? Are you pitting yourself against our family for the sake of defending this brat?”Charles said fearlessly, “All of you heard our bet just now. Since he can save Mr. Frederick, that makes him my master.“As long as I’m here, I won’t let you touch a hair on my master’s head.”Edward, who was standing right behind Charles, looked at his slightly hunched back in surprise. He didn’t expect him to stand up for him at this moment.Clyde saw the situation getting tense and immediately stepped forward to ease the tension, saying, “Walter, w

    When Winona was chatting happily with all the bigshots at the gala, a young man decked out in luxury labels approached her.“Congratulations, Winona. After Spencer Group secures the ten-billion-dollar project with Draken Group, your company will rise to become the top company in Havaria overnight.”Winona’s smile brightened further at his words as she said with a chuckle, “It’s all thanks to your help that we could secure this project, Mr. Wilson.”The young man was the eldest son of the Wilson family, Jim Wilson.The Wilsons were part of the upper class society in Havaria and Wilson Group was worth tens of billions in net worth.Everyone greeted Jim enthusiastically when they saw him.“Mr. Wilson, you’re looking sharp. I just opened a club on the east side of the city—drop by sometime.”“Lloyd, come on. You really think Mr. Wilson would go to a place like that? He’s been into Ms. Spencer for ages. If he’s got free time, he’d rather spend it with her.”“I think Mr. Wilson and M

    “In that case, send me the address.”Skyler was overjoyed to hear Edward accept his offer.It was a great chance for him to get closer to Edward. He had to put his best foot forward.Half an hour later, Edward drove to Havaria’s number one district, Mandarin Gardens.Mandarin Gardens was the most expensive district in Havaria, filled with villas with a price per square foot of at least a hundred thousand dollars.Every single villa in the district cost at least ten million.Houses in Havaria’s city center cost only thirty thousand dollars per square foot. That alone was enough to show how frightening the cost of the villas in Mandarin Gardens was.Edward didn’t expect Skyler to offer him a place in Mandarin Gardens. Would it be too high-profile of him to stay there?However, with no other option for him to rest for the night, Edward decided to just make do and settle down in Mandarin Gardens.The next morning, Jennifer came looking for Edward in Mandarin Gardens, all decked ou

    Edward didn’t expect Skyler, the chairman of Draken Group to call him at this time.When he heard about the contract signing ceremony, he said, “No need. Cancel it.”He had divorced Winona. Why would he bother doing something good for her and giving her a contract worth ten billion?Didn’t Winona think that she could take off after securing the project worth ten billion?She was all ready to toss him aside after securing the project.In that case, he would call off the ten billion dollar order.Skyler was stunned to hear Edward’s words, but recovered quickly and said anxiously, “Mr. Channing, did I do something wrong to make you angry?“Just tell me and I’ll change.”Jaws would drop if people were to know how fearful and uneasy Skyler Dawson, the CEO of Draken Group with a net worth of thousands of billions, became with a single word from Edward.Skyler was such a bigshot in Zarconia, even the mayor treated him with respect.A single move from Skyler was enough to shake the c

    Edward put his palm in between Frederick’s brows as he channelled his inner energy into Frederick’s body.Edward’s inner energy spread out and unclogged the arteries in Frederick’s body.Very soon, Frederick’s pale face started to see some color. His breathing evened out as his vital signs returned to normal.Edward’s treatment came to a close before five minutes were over.“All done.”Edward retracted his palm and stepped aside. Walter hurried to the bedside at Edward’s announcement.When he saw the color in his father’s cheeks and his steady breathing, he finally exhaled out loud, feeling relieved. He turned to look at Edward with gratitude in his eyes.“Thank you very much, Dr. Channing. Just tell me if you need anything from now on.”Edward nodded in response.Charles signalled for the medical team to carry out various tests on Frederick.“H-how is this possible?”Very soon, Charles had his hands on Frederick’s report. After reading the results, he turned to look at Edwa

    Edward snorted and released Walter.Walter collapsed to the ground, rubbing his strained neck and taking in huge gulps of fresh air. He then looked up at Edward with fear in his eyes.He didn’t expect Edward to be a martial artist, and one that was highly-skilled, to boot. He couldn’t help but tremble in fear in Edward’s presence.Edward then looked coldly at Sean who was kneeling on the floor. He said flatly, “Didn’t you say you wanted to kill me just now?“I’m giving you the chance to attack me right now. I’ll just stand right here and you can try killing me.”Sean was trembling from head to toe.He was no fool. Edward could make everything fall to their knees just by his aura alone. It was probably easy as pie for Edward to take his life.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong…”Sean banged his head on the floor as he kneeled before Edward, his voice filled with fear.Smack!Edward lifted a hand to slap Sean twice, saying coldly, “What a useless bum you are. I gave you a chanc
