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
“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
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
Edward, help me!"As Edward Channing walked past his sister-in-law Kayla Spencer's room, a delicate voice, tinged with pain, floated out."Kayla, is your condition acting up again?"Edward pushed open the door and entered, finding Kayla lying on the bed in a thin, silk nightgown, her body curled up in a trembling heap.Seeing this, Edward immediately knew that her old ailment had flared up again. He hurried to the bed, gently lifting the pale, pained woman into a sitting position.Kayla's eyes, which had been tightly shut, fluttered open. In a weak voice, she murmured, "Edward, help me… It hurts…"Her delicate face looked utterly pitiful, her large eyes filled with a silent plea as she gazed at Edward."Just wait a moment. I've got you," Edward said as he quickly placed his hands on her back.Since Edward had joined the Spencer family three years ago, he had discovered that Kayla suffered from a strange illness that caused her stomach to ache at intervals. Each time her conditi
Stephanie and Winona exchanged stunned looks, both of them unable to believe what they had just heard.Had they misheard?Edward's bank account just received how much?Ten million dollars?!Was this some kind of joke?Stephanie watched as Edward pulled out his phone to check, a mocking smile creeping across her face. "Edward, I didn't expect you'd set that kind of ringtone. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you really had ten million transferred to you. Heh."Stephanie's eyes were filled with contempt as she watched Edward. She didn't believe that he had just received a ten-million-dollar transfer into his bank account.Just then, Edward's phone rang again."Hello?""Are you the Mystic Healer? I'm the one who transferred ten million to you. Please, you have to save my father!"The Mystic Healer was just one of Edward's many aliases."Who are you, and how did you get my number?"Edward frowned. He rarely gave out this number, so how did this person get it?"I'm Clyde f
Winona furrowed her brows, her tone tinged with annoyance as she looked at Edward and said, "Edward, how could you say something so ridiculous? If you upset Mr. Cooper, even I won't be able to protect you. You need to apologize to him immediately. If you do, I can say something nice for you and ask him not to hold this against you."Edward felt a surge of disappointment at Winona's words. Any remaining affection he had for her vanished in that instant.He turned his gaze to Steven and calmly said, "I'm the person Clyde is looking for. He transferred ten million to me just now."When Steven heard this, his eyes lit up with realization. He was now certain that Edward was the miracle doctor he had been searching for.The ten million Edward mentioned had been transferred by Steven himself, so hearing Edward bring it up confirmed his identity.A pleased smile spread across Steven's face as he bowed deeply to Edward, his tone respectful. "Mr. Channing, Mr. Hardwick sent me to pick you u
A flicker of fear crossed Henry's face. He knew all too well how powerful Clyde was. If Clyde truly wanted him dead, it wouldn't be difficult in the slightest.Hmph!Henry shot Edward a resentful glare and let out a cold snort. Then, he stepped aside, not daring to utter another word. But his eyes remained filled with mockery and disdain as he watched Edward. He wanted to see what kind of miserable end awaited Edward when he inevitably failed to save Dylan.When that happened, Clyde's wrath would come crashing down on Edward, and he would probably end up dumped in the sea as fish food.However, Clyde looked at Edward with desperate hope. His tone was respectful, almost pleading. "Dr. Channing, I'll leave everything to you. Please... you have to save my father."Edward said nothing. His gaze shifted back to the old man. In the next instant, his silver needles pierced nine critical acupoints with lightning speed.Edward's fingers moved swiftly over the nine needles, tapping each on
Noah clutched the side of his face, staring at Clyde in disbelief."Clyde, are you out of your mind? You actually hit me?" His voice wavered between shock and outrage. "Even Dad never laid a hand on me, and you dare to?"Noah's tone was laced with both grievance and fury.Clyde's icy glare cut into him like a blade. "If you want Dad to die, just say it outright."His voice was cold, sharp with anger. "Apologize to the Mystic Healer right now, or I'll kick you out of the family!"Noah's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard he had to apologize to Edward. He looked at Edward with reluctance."You want me to apologize to this guy? Not a chance!"To him, Edward was just some nobody—a small-time doctor. What right did someone like that have to make him, the second son of the Hardwick family, apologize?Edward let out a cold huff, not even bothering to argue. He simply turned and walked away.Clyde panicked. He rushed forward to block Edward's path. "Please, Dr. Channing, I beg yo

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
The bodyguards of the Daniels family were no ordinary bodyguards, but elite soldiers retired from special forces. Fighting against ten other men proved to be no problem for a soldier of that caliber.Yet Edward managed to subdue them in a single move each. The Daniels family wondered if they were in a nightmare.Edward disregarded the shock in everyone else’s eyes, the frightening aura he exuded silencing every single member of the Daniels family present.Aside from Sean, Clyde and Walter, everyone else had their knees on the floor and even their breathing became ragged, subdued by Edward’s powerful aura.Everyone turned to look at Edward with fright in their eyes.They finally realized how frightening Edward was. His aura alone was sufficient to subdue everyone in the room. How could he be just another ordinary man?Edward walked toward Walter step by step, the look in his eyes cold and hard.Walter swallowed past his constricted throat as he looked at Edward approaching him. H
“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
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
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
