Chapter 420
Eric felt Orion's pulse remaining steady, yet he sensed a subtle but unmistakable weakening. This presented an unsettling situation with no accompanying symptoms.Observing Eric's reaction, an elderly holistic physician sighed. "This pulse is rare. If it continues, I fear... he won't last much longer."The onlookers were stunned. They had expected Orion to have a few years left, but it had only been a few days since his last check-up.The elderly physician inquired, "Did your mentor administer the sixth Blossom Needling treatment?" This was the sole explanation for Orion's deteriorating pulse.Eric shook his head, explaining, "I administered the sixth Blossom Needling treatment to help Master preserve his inner energy.""This is perplexing…"The elderly physicians frowned, unable to find any other signs to explain Orion's condition."First of all, thank you for your assistance," Eric said, addressing the crowd. He turned to a person in uniform, requesting, "Please investigate wh

"What if he left the needle inside his head?" Eric's words prompted a swift reaction from an elderly holistic physician.He reached out to Orion's head and withdrew his hand in shock, exclaiming, "There is indeed a silver needle on Hol. Thornfield's head! But why would this silver needle cause such symptoms?!""Bastard!" Before Eric could respond, Grace angrily shouted, "Come in!"In response, several suited men entered the room.Grace coldly ordered, "Fetch Hol. Silver here! If he resists, break his limbs and bring him!"Grace showed no mercy, even when facing the veteran holistic physician of King City. After all, Astrid was under heavy suspicion.As the men departed, the room fell into an eerie silence.Eric remained silent, waiting for Astrid's arrival for questioning.An elderly holistic physician asked, "You know the issue. Why haven't you begun saving him? Time is of the essence!"He was aware of the urgency, as were the others. However, their inaction raised suspicions

Several Montgomery bodyguards approached Astrid. He stepped back and asked, "What are you trying to do? Sir! They can't search me legally! They lack a warrant, and I haven't given consent!"His accupoint manual meant everything to him—he would never let anyone take it.Nevertheless, the police officer retorted, "If it's illegal for them to search you, we'll do it then."Astrid inwardly cursed their persistence but chose not to resist. He understood that resisting in front of so many people would only invite trouble, potentially reinforcing suspicions of his involvement in Orion's upcoming death.After a while, the Montgomery bodyguards discovered the manual on Astrid.Taking it, Eric opened a page and said, "Sir, take a look.""Hold on!" Seeing Eric about to hand over the manual to the other physicians, Astrid objected, "That's mine! You can't let them read it without my permission!"He hadn't expected Eric to find the technique so quickly.The group of holistic physicians igno

Astrid burst into laughter. "Sure! I'd love to see how you, a loser studying medicine for just a month and a half, can surpass me!"Eric stopped talking, fetched a silver needle, and used pliers to cut a section of it, leaving a two-inch tip. He then approached Orion.Throughout the process, Astrid stared intently.'Could he really perform the Ephemeral Vitality Technique? But how is that possible? I don't even know how to perform the technique!' Astrid thought.If Orion woke up, no amount of cunning arguments would help Astrid. But now, he could only hope that Eric would not succeed.Eric's face filled with sorrow as he looked at Orion. Without saying more, Eric placed his hand on the top of Orion's head. It was only at this moment that Astrid, along with several elderly holistic physicians from King City, witnessed Eric's technique.His hand did not touch Orion's head but extracted the silver needle with his inner energy. The silver needle was now less than two inches in length
Chapter 424
A renowned physician having only three days left to live saddened everyone, including Orion. He wouldn't be able to witness Eric's impressive journey in holistic medicine and realized that the low-key path he had chosen wasn't suitable for Eric's talents.Once his sadness subsided, he felt surprised. Astrid had made a move against him, a move that seemed to spell doom, but Eric had come to his rescue. An understanding dawned upon him as he excitedly helped Eric to his feet."Get up quickly! I'm happy for you! You've taken a step that even I haven't taken! Now that I have a successor, I can rest in peace!" Orion reassured.Orion knew Eric must have used the Ephemeral Vitality Technique to extend his life. Otherwise, he wouldn't have awakened.At this age, life or death didn't truly matter to him. He had once thought that Eric couldn't grasp the acupoint techniques in the manual, but now he saw he was wrong and felt gratified.No one could predict fate's course. Orion felt that fate

Eric turned to Orion, saying, "I'm stepping out for a while. I'll be back here to pay my respects tomorrow morning. Sylvia, stay with Mom."With those words, Eric left.Everyone understood his intentions, and even Orion didn't intervene. Eric was seething with anger and needed an outlet.He was certain Astrid wouldn't deceive him. Since that was the case, it was time to impart some lessons to the Hernandezes.Nonetheless, Grace remained concerned about his safety. She dispatched a few more skilled fighters to accompany Eric alongside Vince and Matthew.-Upon Eric's arrival, the Hernandez estate glowed with bright lights.Javier's scheme was unfolding meticulously. Not only had Kenneth undergone plastic surgery to resemble Eric, but they were also working on weakening the strength of Eric and Grace.Javier sensed the threat Eric posed after witnessing his skills during Orion's retirement ceremony.This phase of the plan had been highly successful, thanks to Astrid's efforts.

The Hernandezes were deeply offended. They were a well-known family in King City, but an intruder had entered their home and left without consequences. The issue was not that Javier was unwilling to take action—he simply didn't have the courage.When Grace had visited previously, he had refrained from retaliating because he knew he was at fault. Furthermore, getting into a fight with the Montgomerys wouldn't benefit the Hernandezes in any way.This time, it was Eric who had broken into their home with fighters from the Montgomerys. Eric was already a skilled martial artist, and what made Javier even more anxious was Eric's influential status as the sole apprentice of Orion.More troubling news arrived when Astrid was arrested for allegedly attempting to kill Orion, even though there was no confirmation of Orion's death.Javier could no longer remain passive. According to Astrid, no one would discover that he had tried to kill Orion, but it seemed that events were not going as plann

"As you wish, Master!" Eric's eyes welled with tears. It seemed to him that Orion had truly accepted his impending death.-Over the next two days, Eric and Sylvia remained in the villa, staying by Orion's side as he approached the end of his life. By then, Eric and Sylvia could see that Orion had genuinely made peace with his fate.-On the third evening, members of the Montgomerys had all gathered. Several elderly holistic physicians from King City and their apprentices came to bid farewell to Orion as well."Orion…" An elderly holistic physician said with sadness, "Rest assured. I've looked into Astrid's situation. He's likely to spend the rest of his life behind bars. I've also informed the Hernandezes. In the future, people in the holistic medicine community won't have any dealings with them."These senior holistic physicians held significant sway and authority in the holistic medicine community. They possessed the most profound medical skills, and the growth of holistic med
