Chapter 506
Matteo's excitement mingled with anxiety. He had heard of Eric's reputation but had never witnessed his healing abilities. Rumor had it that Eric had only studied holistic medicine for a few months.Even some esteemed holistic physicians had failed to tackle the mysterious ailment. Could Eric truly provide a solution?On the other hand, Eric exuded calmness. After successfully healing Sylvia's facial scars, acupoint treatment was a breeze for him.As Matteo lay down, Eric initiated the treatment, and Matteo could feel warmth permeating his body within minutes.Matteo couldn't help but exclaim, "Hol. Johnson, your skills are quite impressive."Eric smiled and maintained his silence. Acupoint treatment was firmly grounded in scientific principle. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken nearly two months to heal Sylvia's scars.Matteo chuckled. "Hol. Johnson, compared to the holistic physicians I've encountered, you are the real deal. They used to boast a lot, but when it came to problem-

Matteo asked, "Does Hol. Johnson have plans regarding the Hernandezes?"Since the Hernandezes had caused Orion's death, it was only natural for him to seek vengeance. Eric nodded without concealing his intentions. "If it's possible, I do have some plans."He contemplated reviving the methods he once used against the Pettersons. However, there were many formidable fighters in the underground scene of King City, and Eric hesitated to take any rash actions. Matteo smiled and said, "If Hol. Johnson wants to make some moves in the underworld, it's quite straightforward. You only need to say the word, and there are plenty of people in the underworld willing to eradicate the Hernandezes."This was the extent of Eric's influence today. He didn't even need to act himself. Eric nodded. "Let's discuss it further later. There are other matters to attend to in the coming days. I'm done with your treatment."Matteo stretched his muscles and said, "This is truly miraculous. I feel lighter a

Parting was agonizing for the loving couple, but they both had their own distractions to ease their longing.After a lengthy phone call with Sylvia, Eric reluctantly ended the conversation. He lay on his bed, tossing and turning before eventually falling asleep.In the dead of night, a shadow infiltrated the villa and approached the corridor. A dagger was discreetly inserted through the door crack, gently unlocking Eric's room.The lock clicked open, and Eric abruptly opened his eyes.Moonlight streamed through the window, revealing a figure standing by his bedside.The figure raised its hand high and thrust it downward toward Eric.Instinctively, Eric used the blanket to shield himself from the dagger and swiftly rolled to the other side of the bed."Huh?" The shadow in the darkness was taken aback.Eric promptly illuminated the room. A man dressed entirely in black brandished a dagger.Eric furrowed his brow. Someone had tried to assassinate him on his first night in King Ci
Chapter 509
At the scene, there were three crucial pieces of evidence: a dagger, bloodstains on the floor, and surveillance footage.This left the personnel handling the case in shock since there hadn't been any assassination attempts in King City for many years. The police collected all the evidence.Later, Felicia remade Eric's bed and asked, "Mr. Johnson, should we inform Mrs. Johnson? This seems like a significant matter. Hol. Thornfield has been here for many years, and nothing like this has ever happened."Eric shook his head and reassured her, "It's very late, Madam Baresi. You should get some rest."Felicia left, but her worry lingered.With this incident on his mind, Eric couldn't sleep. He pondered who might want to kill him.Could it be Javier? Eric didn't want to jump to conclusions without evidence.Eric sat in the living room until morning, then called Matteo, who might have more information.Matteo arrived promptly with some of his subordinates, taking this personally as an

The King City Grand Hotel was bustling with activity. Experts from various medical fields, representing major hospitals, had been invited. This time, the criticism against holistic medicine was stronger than ever, and it showed no sign of letting up.On the other side, professionals from the holistic medicine community had also gathered.Eric recognized some faces from Orion's retirement ceremony, but the renowned veterans of holistic medicine were notably absent. Their absence wasn't solely due to their age—they chose not to partake in these disputes, deeming them unimportant.Nevertheless, many holistic physicians were eager to defend their reputations. Eric's presence seemed to unify them.Amid the heated debates, he remained silent.An elderly holistic physician beside Eric said, "Hol. Johnson, they've been very aggressive. The doctors here are top specialists in their respective fields."The doctors appeared formidable, and Eric could see that holistic medicine was currently
Chapter 511
This statement made sense to most holistic physicians and doctors. Both had their merits. Some doctors might suggest holistic medicine for patients post-surgery recovery, while some holistic physicians might recommend consulting a doctor for uncertainty about a condition. There was no clear distinction between the two, but people loved making comparisons.The doctor chuckled and said, "Alright, stop that. You're in denial. If holistic medicine is so effective, why do major hospitals rely on modern medicine?"Eric sighed inwardly and asked, "You seem well-versed in modern medicine. What's your specialization?"Proudly, the doctor replied, "I'm an orthopedic specialist!"He was proud because he believed this was an area where holistic medicine fell short."I see," Eric replied, nodding.The doctor grew anxious and asked, "What do you mean by nodding? Are you suggesting that holistic medicine is better at handling musculoskeletal conditions than modern medicine?"Eric shrugged an

Eric noticed the spark in the doctor's eyes and nodded. "I understand, but the herbs can be quite pricey.""No worries," replied the doctor. "Even if they're a bit expensive, that's okay! Can you explain the treatment?"Eric was about to answer when the person next to the doctor subtly cleared their throat, a reminder of their mission against holistic medicine.The doctor snapped back to reality, his expression turning serious. "Hmph! This is nonsense! I know what you're after! You just want my money!"The holistic medicine community's representatives couldn't contain their laughter, leaving the doctor embarrassed."What you're saying isn't enough," the doctor said. "These are just theories. You must prove them through action!""Prove?" Eric asked."Yes," the doctor asserted. "Let's find a hospital in King City and have a competition. Whoever diagnoses and treats the most patients wins."Eric found it amusing. After all, this was his specialty.He nodded and agreed, "If you in
Chapter 513
A holistic physician chuckled. "Admitting one's own shortcomings is quite difficult, just like admitting one's own foolishness. We keep records here, showing whether the treatment was successful or not. Would you like to take a look?"As he spoke, there was a cracking sound from Eric's side, and a young man with a dislocated shoulder screamed.Eric patted the young man's shoulder and said, "Don't exert too much force these days and rest more."The young man swung his arm around and exclaimed with joy, "It really has gotten better! Thank you, doctor!"Eric waved his hand—it was a simple task for him.The doctor's face turned red. He thought Eric was indeed an exceptional holistic physician, and they were destined to lose this competition.After the doctors left, Eric had his lunch.While eating, Jessica arrived."Hmm?" Glancing at Eric's meal, she exclaimed, "Eric, you're having boxed lunch, too? Can your stomach handle it?"Eric looked at Jessica. "It has meat and vegetables.
