“Mhm,” James replied. “I’ve resolved the problem. By the way, my wife threw my identity card away. Give Chase a call and have him retrieve it. After that, keep it somewhere safe.” “Noted. Where is it?” James gave him the location. Daniel hung up and called Chase. Soon, Thea was here. They went to the parking lot. Then, they headed to the Hills’ residence. Meanwhile, after receiving Daniel’s call, Chase made haste and headed to the garbage bin Daniel mentioned. He rummaged through the bin. This scene attracted the attention of passers-by. “I-Isn’t he a one-star general? Why’s he rummaging through the dumpster?” “No way.” They were dumbfounded. Chase paid no heed to them. Very soon, he found a black identity card. After verifying its owner, he breathed a sigh of relief. “How ignorant could the general’s wife be? How could she throw the Black Dragon identity card into a garbage bin?” Thea did not know anything about it. To her, James had forged an identity
Chapter 302
Thea’s uncle was called Rigoberto Hills. He was the only one doing business in the family. His assets were several times more than that of the Callahans’. Cyrus was Rigoberto’s only son. After graduating college, he worked in his father’s company. In just a few years, he rose to become the general manager. In another few years, he would be the one taking over the chairman’s position. The rest of the Hills ingratiated themselves with Rigoberto’s family. They did so because their family was generous. They would hand over money—no strings attached—as long as the Hills requested it. The money he had lent out should total around a hundred million. Rigoberto looked at the limited-edition red Ferrari in front of the villa and nodded. “Not bad. It’s worth twenty-eight million dollars and is considered a top luxury car. Is it yours, David?” “Of course.” David lifted his head. He knew Cyrus’ family was wealthy. Every time he came to his grandmother’s house, he would be th

Xara replied, “I’m responsible for bringing in business on Food Street.” Cyrus hurriedly added, “Here’s the thing, Xara. We also plan to set up a business at Transgenerational Group. However, it’s only open to large corporations at the moment. Since you’re a high-ranking official, could you use your connections to allow my family to establish ourselves there?” “Umm…”Xara was in a difficult position. The company’s rules stated that all forms of corruption and cronyism were forbidden. If found guilty, the consequences would be dire. However, she could not just turn down her family’s request. She looked at James. Seeing that James remained silent, she contemplated and nodded. “I can’t decide by myself. I’ll speak to Ms. Brooks once I get back.” “That’s great!” Cyrus exclaimed. “As expected of Xara, she’s now a department manager at Transgenerational Group.” Zacchaeus wore a smug look. He was proud to have a daughter like Xara. After realizing the position Xara holds, e

Thea knew what the Hills were like. Back then, when she was belittled and looked down upon, she could not say anything. Now, she was disgusted by how they disparaged her husband. Facing the Hills, she exclaimed, “My husband’s not useless. He’s a genius doctor. He treated my injuries. He can be the number one doctor in all of Cansington if he wishes to be.” Gladys, who was hanging her head in shame, chimed in upon hearing Thea’s words, “Yes, he’s not entirely useless. You should know how grave Thea’s injuries were. Her body was badly burnt, and there were scars all over her. However, James treated all of her injuries in just ten short days. If he isn’t a genius doctor, who is?” Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. They could not refute her words. Meanwhile, Jedidiah fixed his gaze on James. He was a veteran and had suffered long-term sequelae after sustaining injuries. Now that he was aging by the day, his body condition was deteriorating. He had gone to Cansingt

The moment James spoke, a young member of the Hills stepped forward and rebuked him, “James, grandpa’s doing fine and is in good health. How could you say he’s in terrible shape? Are you trying to jinx him?” “That’s right!” “This guy doesn’t know anything about medicine.” “Get lost.” Dissatisfied, the rest of the Hills chastised James. “Who’s the one bullsh*tting?” A voice came. A tall and skinny middle-aged man in a white suit walked in. “You’re here, Dr. Lincoln.” Everyone stood up. Even Jedidiah stood and greeted the man. The man’s name was Yitzchak Lincoln. He was a doctor from Cansington who was highly paid by Cyrus to provide medical treatment to Jedidiah. It was due to Yitzchak’s medicine that Jedidiah slowly regained his strength over the past few years. Yitzchak looked at Cyrus and greeted him, “Mr. Cyrus.” He then turned and greeted Jedidiah, “A good day to you, Mr. Jedidiah.” Lastly, he fixed his gaze on James with a look of disdain. “All these

No one believed James. They believed Thea had informed him of Jedidiah’s situation in advance. James was only just pretending to take a pulse. He was trying to sound like a genius doctor by saying all this. James did not offer a rebuttal. He was not planning to stand out anyway. He took Jedidiah’s pulse for Thea’s sake. Since they doubted the validity of his abilities, then so be it. Meanwhile, Thea hurriedly explained, “What are you guys talking about? I didn’t tell him anything. Besides, I haven’t been back in ten years. How am I supposed to know about grandpa’s condition? How would I know he underwent an operation three months ago? James learned of everything himself just by taking grandpa’s pulse.” She should have remained silent. Hearing her words, their suspicions were confirmed. Thea had told James everything. It was all for the sake of showing off. Seeing their expressions of doubt, Thea explained, “It’s true. I’m not lying.” At that moment, even Gladys wa

James moved further down. In the blink of an eye, he had inserted dozens of needles from the thigh to the sole of the feet. “I-Is this acupoint treatment?” Yitzchak was dumbfounded. James’ speed was extraordinary. He finished inserting the needles in a single breath. At that moment, James splashed the alcohol on Jedidiah’s knees and pulled a lighter out. Whoosh! A ball of fire immediately appeared on his knees. The Hills turned pale. “What are you doing, James?” “What the hell?! Stop that right now!” However, James persisted. He took the silver needles and went on the offensive. One needle, two needles, three needles. In the blink of an eye, a row of silver needles appeared on both Jedidiah’s legs. Something magical happened. The fire on Jedidiah’s knees was absorbed by the silver needles, from which a stream of hot, burning gas could be seen. “T-The Needle of Fire…” Yitzchak exclaimed. The art of medicine had been around for five thousand years. With

The Hills knew nothing about medicine and did not understand what the Needle of Fire meant. It was an extremely advanced and sophisticated acupuncture art. The human body comprises Yin and Yang energy. The body would be healthy only when they were in balance. If there was an abundance of Yin energy or vice versa, one would fall sick. The Needle of Fire was an acupuncture art that decreased the Yin and increased the Yang. Though Yitzchak had seen such art in classical medical books, he had never seen it in action for a patient’s treatment. With a passionate look, Yitzchak knelt on the floor and pleaded. If he could learn the legendary art of acupuncture, his medical skills would improve in leaps and bounds. “I beg you, master. Give me a chance. I’m begging you.” The Hills were stunned upon witnessing this dramatic scene. Cyrus asked puzzledly, “What are you doing, Dr. Lincoln? You’re a member of the Doctor’s Association. How could you kneel before such trash?” “W
