“What are you looking at?” Matthew scoffed. “Who do you think you are to pursue Tiara when you look like that?”“James, you…please don’t take this to heart,” Tiara said softly, her head hung low.The marriage arrangement was made solely by her mother.Before, her mother had tried to get her to return and get engaged to Matthew, but she was always in Cansington. She had only recently returned when her grandmother was critically ill.Only she and her father were aware of what had occurred in Cansington. The rest of the Youngblood family was completely unaware.James gave a small wave of his hand and said, “I’m simply here to see the patient. She’s in the ward, right? I’ll go take a look.”“Yes. She’s inside.” Tiara had a smile on her face. “I’ll show you in.”James' identity was unknown to the others, but Tiara was aware of it. He was not just a skilled ancient martial artist; he was also a brilliant doctor. Her grandmother might be saved if James was willing to help.“What are y
Dr. Wallace was the chief physician of Healthstone Hospital and an authoritative expert. Even on a global scale, he had a modest amount of reputation, but right now a brat was looking down on him.“I’m not qualified to know that yet? What audacity. Brat, which foreign medical school did you graduate from? Who was the medical professor you studied under?”Dr. Wallace frequently participated in academic exchanges, and he was somewhat familiar with all of the medical professors who had some standing internationally. He looked at James with disdain and said, “Can’t say it, can you? You must have graduated from some lousy medical school, huh?”James slightly furrowed his brows.Zigmund was also concerned that James would erupt in rage. “Dr. Wallace, just let him take a look,” he said.“Take a look? If something goes wrong, who will bear the consequences? You?” Dr. Wallace scolded loudly. “I’ll take care of it,” said James.“Who do you think you are? You’ll take care of it? How wou
James sat on a chair in the corridor, ignoring everyone else's taunts and sarcastic remarks.He had no idea how Gloom would notify the director. Still, he knew that Gloom would definitely find a way. As long as the director was at the hospital, he would undoubtedly arrive in five minutes.Tiara stood in front of him with her head bowed. “I’m sorry, James, for causing you trouble,” she apologized in a soft voice.James gave a small wave. “It's not a problem,” he said.Matthew was irritated by Tiara's attitude toward James. She would have been engaged to him already if it were not for her grandmother's critical condition, but she was now flirting with another man.He was immediately enraged and approached them. “You asked to speak with the director, huh? I'm eager to see if you can actually summon the director today,” he snapped.Matthew was unaware of James' background and identity. He had not, however, encountered this individual within the Capital's nobility.Nevertheless, he w
After a few seconds, he regained his composure and walked over quickly. “Director, I’m sorry. I’ve made a mistake. I was oblivious and overlooked an important figure, but I was only acting in the patient's best interests. Please… Please don’t fire me.”“You good-for-nothing. You're only causing me problems.” Carl raised his hand and was about to give him a slap.“It’s alright. Forget about it,” James said nonchalantly.Carl stopped right then.James asked, “Can I now go inside and see the patient?”“Yes, you can. You certainly can.” Dr. Wallace kept nodding his head.“I’ll arrange for someone to be your assistant right away,” Carl said promptly.James waved his hand slightly and said, “There’s no need. I can handle it on my own.”He walked straight into the ward as he said that.Outside the ward, the Youngblood family members were staring at each other, perplexed.“Who exactly is that brat?”“He seemed to be quite capable. Even the director of Healthstone Hospital treats him
“How?”Everyone was stunned.Especially Dr. Wallace.He was the attending physician, so he was aware of how the elderly woman's body was doing. A written notice of her critical condition had already been issued. She could have passed away at any moment.However, that person was only in the ward for about ten minutes before the elderly woman regained consciousness. She could even get out of bed and walk. Furthermore, based on her complexion, she appeared to be energetic.“Mom.”“Grandma.”One by one, the Youngbloods started talking as they quickly approached the elderly woman and surrounded her.James, on the other hand, walked towards Tiara.“James, thank you,” Tiara exclaimed with a delighted expression.“It’s nothing, don’t mention it. Even though I’ve used Crucifier to heal your grandmother, her body still needs to be cared for. Later, I'll give you a prescription. You'll need to obtain the medication per the prescription and make sure she takes it on time. She'll be so vi
A surge of powerful force jolted Gloom, forcing his body seven to eight meters backward.His arms were tingly and numb. On them, blue veins were bulging. He had a shocked expression on his face. “You… Your strength?”James took in his True Energy and glanced at Gloom. “What are you doing? Are you trying to sneak up on me or is this just a test?” he said casually.Gloom circulated his energy, and the pain in his arms started to fade gradually. He then put his hands behind his back, stared at James, and slowly approached him. He only smiled and spoke when he finally stood in front of James. “I was curious as to what rank your cultivation base had advanced to. As far as I can tell, you must have had some exciting adventures recently. Could it be that you’ve got Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge all figured out now?”Even though Gloom was grinning, the shock and astonishment he felt had not subsided.His cultivation base was at the fifth rank. Although his strength would not be rega
James asked about Mr. Gabriel, and the King’s expression turned solemn.He took a cigarette from the table, lit it, and inhaled deeply. Smoke filled the air in front of him. After some time, he began to speak slowly.“When discussing this, one should begin a century ago.”James was intrigued upon hearing these words. He always had a limited understanding of what had happened a century prior.He only knew that one hundred years ago, the first King of Sol had teamed up with the ancient martial artists of Sol to encircle and destroy the Gu Sect. It was said that countless lives were lost in the battle.“A hundred years ago, aggressors started an invasion. Sol was in terrible distress. In every region, resistance forces were formed. Among the numerous resistance forces, the brigade led by the Gu Sect was the most powerful. However, the Gu Sect did not have pure intentions. Not only did they want to drive out the aggressors, but they also wanted to retaliate by occupying the hostile na
Was his grandfather someone behind Mr. Gabriel, or was he merely collaborating with Mr. Gabriel?James was slightly confused.“James, I think you can make your move now,” the King said while looking at James.After regaining his composure, James said while nodding, “I intend to do so. What rank is Mr. Gabriel's strength at?” “I’m not sure. Mr. Gabriel has always been shrouded in mystery. He rarely shows his face and has never fought an outsider before. According to our intel, his strength is at least at the sixth rank, but it’s unclear what kind of martial arts he’s learned.”The King said while shaking his head.“Your intelligence network spans the entire globe. Did you find any information regarding my grandfather’s whereabouts over the years?” inquired James.His grandfather was still alive. He was certain of it. He was also certain that the incident at Mount Arclens was entirely orchestrated by his grandfather. The goal was to confuse Tobias or to confuse outsiders.Still,
