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

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.

At the police station.Eric encountered the hitman from the previous night. The hitman's wounds had been treated, and he appeared less menacing than before. As the victim, Eric had the right to obtain some basic information.The hitman couldn't identify their employer but mentioned that they were likely in King City, and the bounty for killing Eric had reached a staggering 700,000 dollars."Fuck!" Matteo cursed. "700,000 dollars for Hol. Johnson's life? Who the heck values him so little?"The price infuriated Matteo because it seemed too low for a renowned healer like Eric.Nevertheless, this information was crucial for Eric, and he felt like he had walked into the other party's trap.The individual attempting to assassinate him and the mastermind behind discrediting holistic medicine might be one and the same. Eric couldn't determine who was behind it. It could be the Hernandeezs, but he lacked evidence.Javier had been extremely cautious in his actions, leaving no trace of the

At Salt City.Sylvia really missed Eric, and Andy had returned to work in a much better mood. "Hey, Eric, is everything settled in King City?" Andy asked, surprised to see Eric back.He had heard from Sylvia that Eric had gone to King City with an uncertain return date.Eric nodded and headed straight to Sylvia's office, leaving Andy puzzled. There was something strange about Eric, but he couldn't quite figure it out.Sylvia was busy with her tasks in the office. When she heard someone enter, she looked up and said, "You're back already?"Her voice was sweet, and 'Eric' froze for a moment. Before he could react, a stunning beauty stood before him.Sylvia knew that this person was the imposter. If the real Eric had returned to Salt City, he would have called her first, and he wouldn't be this calm when seeing her. The disguise was too obvious.However, Sylvia didn't expose Kenneth as it wouldn't be interesting. She calmly observed his performance."Honey," Kenneth said, moving

Eric didn't rush back to Salt City because he hadn't finished his tasks in King City yet.The hospital competition had just ended. The veteran holistic physicians, who had gained a substantial advantage in the morning, still held their ground in the afternoon despite the absence of experienced practitioners.After a day of competition, the group of holistic physicians had built their confidence. Even without Eric's presence, everyone knew he was in King City, ready to step in at any moment. This time, the plan to discredit holistic medicine was destined to fail.-"He's good," Javier said, frowning. He had failed once again. Not only had he been unable to eliminate Eric, but the attempt to discredit the holistic medicine field had also failed.At that moment, Javier realized how little he and the Hernandezes knew about Eric. It seemed like Eric had appeared out of nowhere. Grace had visited Salt City twice, and suddenly Eric emerged. Javier had no information about Eric before thi

Eric felt something in Julius' eyes.Julius sighed deeply—it seemed Eric had no interest in knowing his biological father.Standing up, Julius warned, "Be cautious of Javier. He's someone who'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.""Understood." Eric nodded. He couldn't help but give Julius a second look. He didn't know why this member of the Hernandezes was providing information about Javier. Had Javier himself sent him?Eric had no answers to those questions, but he wasn't quick to trust anyone, especially from the Hernandezes.After a deep gaze, Julius left.-A luxurious car awaited at the villa's entrance. Inside, a middle-aged woman asked, "Julius, how did the conversation go?"The middle-aged woman was Julius' wife, Nera Calles.Julius shook his head and replied dejectedly, "He doesn't recognize me and isn't willing to discuss much.""Take it slow," Nera said gently, "If he can forgive Grace, he might forgive you too."Julius smiled bitterly, knowing his situation w

Alexander was at a loss for words. Thirty years had faded the once intense emotions. Grace and Julius were no longer the young couple in their 20s. Back then, they loved each other, and nothing else mattered.The present-day Grace clearly no longer had any interest in Julius, and Eric couldn't care less.After dinner, Eric went to Matteo's place to treat his injuries.While the silver needle was still in place, Matteo chuckled and remarked, "You really are the Hernandezes' bane. Their influence in the underworld has vanished, and I heard they lost a significant sum in the first underground match tonight."When the Hernandezes had sway in the underworld, they could manipulate match outcomes. However, times had changed.Eric was not well-versed in the underworld's matters in King City or Salt City. He had no response when he heard that the Hernandezes were facing setbacks and losses, puzzling Matteo.Logically, he should be delighted to hear such news, but Eric remained indifferent

Eric stumbled and hit the floor with a heavy thud, caught off guard. Despite his martial arts practice, there was no way he could escape unscathed from such a move. Sylvia patted her hand and returned to her seat, convinced that the person before her was an imposter. After all, the real Eric would have easily countered her with his skills. "Honey, what was that for?" Eric stood up with a gloomy expression. "I'm the real Eric. Give me the passphrase!"It was only at that moment that he realized Kenneth had disrupted his life."Oh my!" Sylvia suddenly realized and stuck her tongue out. "So you're real?! I'm so sorry about that. You can throw me as well if you want."Sylvia was sure the current Eric was real because only he knew the passphrase.Eric was rendered speechless.While tidying her desk, Sylvia asked, "Why did you come back suddenly? Is everything in King City sorted?""More or less," Eric replied. "Things are stable in the holistic medicine community. I also took the
