During breakfast, a red-faced Wendy glowered at Elijah, as if she wanted to eat him alive. She had woken up to use the bathroom, only to end up having him barge inside wearing nothing but his underwear."Alright," Lynette spoke up. "After breakfast, follow me out. We're going to meet someone."Soon, it was time to leave. Lynette brought Elijah and a few others with her up the hill. Elijah was a little startled when they arrived at the villas up on the peak. He recognized them to be the ones he had seen yesterday.After the guards let Elijah, Lynette, and the group into the compound, Elijah said, "My stomach feels a bit off. I'll head to the bathroom first."He looked around and dashed off to the bathroom he spotted while Lynette shook her head at his antics.In the living room, Lynette saw Charlotte, who was dressed casually."Charlotte!" Lynette squealed before throwing herself at Charlotte."You've grown up so much," Charlotte remarked as she stroked Lynette's hair affectionat

A thread diagnosis?James was taken aback. A thread diagnosis was a closely guarded trade secret that was found among the ancient royal physicians who needed to diagnose members of the royal family without having any physical contact. They were only allowed to use a thread tied around the patient's wrist to check their pulse. Mastering this technique required a great deal of knowledge and understanding.Considering this was modern society, James didn't devote himself to practicing the art of thread diagnosis, so he wasn't an expert in it.James glanced at Charlotte, who simply nodded back at him."Fine."James took a deep breath. Being an accomplished doctor from a respectable background, he wasn't afraid of being challenged by a con artist. Besides, it was a bit rude to touch a woman's hand unnecessarily. "Bring me some thread."Once the thread was brought over, James wrapped it around Lynette's wrist before taking the other end and calmly checking her pulse.Wendy and Ch

"You said she fell into the water?" James questioned before scoffing in annoyance. "Who can tell something like that from reading someone's pulse?""I sense a ball of stagnated energy deep within her lungs. That's a sign of someone who had nearly drowned in her childhood," Elijah coolly explained.Charlotte's expression became even more complicated. "I did fall into the water when I was five years old. I nearly died that day."James was rendered speechless."You are indeed incredible, Mr. Ludwig," Charlotte said with a faint smile. "I trust your abilities. However, I need you and James to leave us for now. I have something to discuss with Lyn."James glowered at Elijah as the two left the living room, leaving Charlotte and Lynette alone.After a brief silence, Charlotte began, "Lyn, do you know why I decided to come back to Ashford during my leave? I'm here to look for someone.""To look for someone?" Lynette repeated in surprise."That's right," Charlotte said wistfully. "My p

Carl, Ciara, Jared, and the rest all waited outside the villa. Despite standing under the hot sun for several hours, they didn't get the chance to enter and meet Charlotte.Feeling despondent, Ciara sighed. "I guess General Adler isn't willing to see us.""She's a prominent figure. Why would she care about insignificant people like us?" Carl said with mixed feelings. "Nevertheless, she is still our only hope. As long as we can get an audience with her, we'll be saved from the crisis we're in!""That's right." Ciara nodded in agreement. "Let's come over again in a few days. I'm sure General Adler will meet with us once she's free."Once she finished speaking, everyone turned toward the villa. One of the Ludwigs pointed at a figure that just exited from the back entrance of the villa and exclaimed, "Hey, look! Isn't that Elijah?"Carl and Ciara swiftly looked over, but Ciara shook her head and said doubtfully, "That's impossible. Why would Elijah get the chance to meet with General

Carl took out a document. After skimming through it, he looked at Elijah and said, "Elijah, your mother insisted on marrying without the blessings of the family, and she gave birth to you. Technically speaking, you're not a true member of the Ludwig family."We have already shown enough benevolence by raising you all those years. Plus, you left the family and spent 18 years at Mount Quarra. As it stands, you don't have any connection to the family. Therefore, I officially declare that from today onward, you have been disowned from the Ludwig family!"Elijah froze in shock while Carl continued, "From this day forward, your name will be removed from our family records. You're no longer a part of the family. "Also, from now on, you cannot use the last name Ludwig. You're not allowed to tell others you're a part of our family or that you have any connections with us. Are we clear?"In a harsh, authoritative tone, Carl added, "Also, I advise you to discard whatever deluded ideas you ha

Outside the Ludwigs' ancestral home, two groups of people stood at odds with each other.The Greers had sent over several dozen people who disembarked from over a dozen vehicles. They were all dressed in black trench coats, and many sported tattoos. It was a frightening sight, for some of these men had menacing gazes that made it clear they were hardened criminals from the criminal underworld.The group was standing outside the entrance, and in the near distance, a bunch of passersby were whispering furiously in discussion. Michael, a young man decked out in Armani and a Rolex watch, stood in front of the Ludwigs' ancestral home. A tattoo could be seen on his wrist, and a condescending smile hung on his wicked face."Michael Greer!" Edgar Ludwig, a senior member of the family, came out with a displeased expression. "What do you want?""Nothing," Michael responded coolly. "I simply heard that someone from your family has the nerve to call herself a genius doctor. Hah! A genius,

Unlike the Ludwigs, who only got involved in the medical industry in recent years, the Larsons were a reputable family known for their medical expertise. Seven generations of the family had been involved in medicine, and it was said that their ancestors once served the royalty. Thus, the family possessed medical skills that were beyond others, including ancient and secret techniques that were only passed down within the family."Dr. Larson!""Dr. Larson!"Melody and all the other Ludwigs also rushed forward eagerly, eyeing Zachary as if he were a rockstar.Zachary's expression was slightly grim when he glanced at Michael, but he soon exuded an air of confidence as he declared, "I've heard the gist of the situation. He's digging his own grave if he wants a competition involving medical expertise! Rest assured, everyone. I'll do my best!"Then, he approached Michael and loudly declared, "Others may be afraid of you, Michael, but I'm not! You wanted to compete with poisons, right?

Michael and Ciara started putting their formulas together. From the looks of it, they were both sorely tempted to poison the other to death.Soon, both had prepared a poisonous concoction. The murky liquids in their respective bowls were even more ghastly to look at thanks to the floating spiders, scorpions, and skin fragments from poisonous snakes."I'll drink it!" Jared declared.He stepped forward and polished off the entire bowl of poison.Next, it was Michael's turn, and he scornfully instructed one of his subordinates to consume the poison.Michael and Ciara proceeded to check on those who had consumed the poison and prepare antidotes that would induce vomiting.Soon, Jared, as well as Michael's subordinate, looked sickly from having vomited their guts out, but the poison had been cured—though Ciara completed her task a little slower than Michael had."We'll go again," Michael said with a sneer. He had full confidence in himself, and he didn't care about the life of his su

"If you're going to be her bodyguard, what am I going to be, then?" Elijah spoke up in disgruntlement."You?" Benedict gave Elijah a quick once-over before lifting his chin and continuing, "You can get along with whatever you're supposed to be doing. Now that we, the Fangs, have taken over the duty of protecting Ms. Lynette, you're no longer needed here."He gave the order without any regard for Elijah at all."Lyn still needs a doctor," Thomas said coolly. "You can remain by her side as her doctor. You simply needn't worry about looking out for her safety."Although Elijah had saved Lynette a few times, Thomas couldn't fully trust a random stranger from the countryside whose background he knew nothing about."Sure," Elijah responded with a nod. He couldn't be bothered to care too much anyway.Once Benedict heard that Elijah was still going to stick around, his eyes flickered with displeasure. He was just about to make a comment when a security guard came running over from the

Anyone who knew about the Fangs would be alarmed at the very mention of their name.Wendy's reaction was especially noticeable. With a look of fear and awe, she secretly observed Benedict as if she were studying a mythical creature. Even her heart was pounding wildly."The Fangs surpass even the Seabound and Lakeshore Trade Associations! How did you manage to hire someone from the Fangs, Mr. Thomas?" Wendy asked with a look of respect."Hah! The Seabound and Lakeshore Trade Associations are nothing!"Alas, Benedict scoffed at the comparison Wendy made. He let out a scornful chuckle, as though comparing the two with the Fangs was a great dishonor to him."We, the Fangs, are the real giants here. We even have our headquarters in Summiton! All of these weaklings at Ashford are nothing compared to us!"However, both Wendy and Thomas didn't feel insulted by Benedict's remarks. On the contrary, they agreed with him."The Fangs recently opened a subdivision here in Ashford, and Benedic

In response to Carl's eager question, Jared nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Ludwig! My family staked all of our assets to get the project. In a few days, let's bring this matter to Simon and have a discussion with him."Carl's eyes lit up."I knew you were the person we could count on to go up against the Greers, Jared!" he said emphatically as he grasped Jared's hand.…Standing at an intersection in Ashford, Elijah looked a little lost. Although he lived with the Ludwigs as a child, he didn't have much of a relationship with them.He had never met his father before, and even his mother died from illness when he was very young. The only person he could consider family was his mentor, Alaric.Elijah unfurled his fist to reveal a worn emblem on his palm. Half of it had been burned off. This was the only keepsake he had left of his father."To think I would be kicked out of the family after returning from Mount Quarra," Elijah remarked with a laugh. He didn't think too much

"That's enough," Carl snapped exasperatedly. "Stop trying to put on airs by holding out on us. This matter is settled. I'll even give you something else."He held up a finger and said, "I'll allow you to choose a position in any of the companies owned by me or the Ludwig family. That should be worthwhile for you, right?"His expression was stern as he continued in a threatening tone, "Don't think you can do whatever you want and cross the line just because you have something you can use against us. You got that?""Don't be too greedy!" Melody snapped resentfully, her tone mocking as well. "Not only is Uncle Carl offering to restore you to the family, but he'll even give you a job and help you find someone to marry. Don't tell me you want more. What else do you want? Money?"Hamish buffed up his chest and declared, "You're just an outsider. The family is already being very kind by doing this much for you. You should count your blessings! Who knows what you can make of yourself witho

In fact, the Ludwigs believed they could now rank even higher than the Grays! After all, even the Grays lost to the Greers, so it meant they were weaker than the current Ludwigs."Didn't you hear what I said, Elijah?" Edgar urged impatiently in a standoffish tone that made him sound like he was doing Elijah a service."That's right! Since the family has decided to acknowledge you, you should appreciate the gesture and do as you're told!" Melody snapped in displeasure, her brows creased. "Don't tell me you intend to put on airs now. You should be grateful that you're not totally useless to the family.""Exactly!" Hamish added in contempt. "Who knows how you got lucky that you managed to prove yourself useful today? You should be thanking your lucky stars for that!"The Ludwigs' impatient prompting made it seem like they were bestowing Elijah a great honor by allowing him to rank himself as one of the Ludwigs because he proved to be somewhat useful to them.Even Ciara was eyeing Eli

Zachary and the Ludwigs were all shocked beyond words. The concoction Elijah came up with clearly looked like a nourishing formula. Could it really be poisonous?This situation was utterly challenging everything they knew about medicine."I need to be quick. I'll use the torch emetic!" Michael yelled as his face turned an even brighter shade of red. After consuming the black liquid, an antidote that could induce vomiting, he immediately started throwing up.It looked like he had expelled all the contents in his body, but it didn't seem to help. He crumpled to the ground once more. All of his limbs were convulsing. It felt like he had been set on fire on the inside.Using whatever strength he could muster, he said, "The heavenly cure, then!""The divine elixir!""The purification soup!"On and on it went, so much so that Michael was starting to feel numb. He didn't even know what the source of the poison was. He started ruminating over the taste of what he had consumed and couldn

Michael wondered if Elijah was really some kind of genius.Meanwhile, after hearing what Zachary said, the other Ludwigs felt as if they had been slapped in the face.Did Zachary just claim that Elijah, the person they kicked out of the family, was more medically skilled than he was? He had to have lost his mind!The Ludwigs were filled with disbelief.Ciara lifted her head. Her eyes flashed with surprise as well. She started scrutinizing the ex-fiancé she had scorned as if to reacquaint herself with him.Alas, the situation was now beyond their control."So be it," Michael replied in amusement. "Who am I to refuse you if you wish to hand the Larson family over to me on a silver platter?""Let's keep things simple," Elijah said. He selected a few medicinal ingredients and tossed them into a bowl together. In just less than ten seconds, he prepared a concoction and handed it over to Michael."Here you go. Drink up," he said nonchalantly.Michael eyed the bowl in suspicion. It c

"Do you think you're qualified to challenge me?" Michael eyed Elijah and sneered. "Who do you think you are when even your family's genius doctor… I mean, my maid, has lost to me? Are you claiming that you're even better than Ciara?"Michael's expression was taunting, but he was a bit taken aback that Elijah managed to save Jared by kicking him and stuffing some medicinal ingredients into his mouth.Ciara turned red and lowered her head in humiliation."This is no place for you to run your mouth, Elijah! Get lost! Stop embarrassing the family!" Hamish Ludwig came forward and yelled at Elijah."Do you actually think you're even more skilled than Ciara? You're just a clown! What makes you think you can come forward now? You have no self-awareness at all!"All of the Ludwigs started ranting at Elijah. They had lost the competition. Even Zachary had lost. And yet, Elijah chose to jump forward right at this moment. What else could it be for other than to humiliate the family even furth

"Mr. Greer, this man is not related to our family in any way!" one of the Ludwigs shouted.With his hands behind his back, Michael walked up to Elijah and peered at him haughtily. "Were you the one who spoke just now? What did you say? Dare to repeat yourself?"All of the Ludwigs eyed Elijah in pity. He might've had his fun running his mouth earlier, but he was done for now. They thought they were about to witness Elijah begging like a dog—but they were wrong.Elijah scratched his ear while asking, "Are you deaf? I said you guys acted like a bunch of kids throwing tantrums. How pointless."Michael's expression darkened, and all of the Ludwigs were shocked.Elijah must have lost his mind. How could he dare to say such a thing in front of Michael? Just how bold was he?Melody shook her head and commented icily, "He's just pretending to be tough. I bet he's quaking with fear on the inside. Guys like him seem brave on the surface, but in reality, they're just clowns without any sense
