Chapter 307
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

After all, the needle in flames could be caused by the burning alcohol.However, her suspicions about James’ mysteriousness only grew.The nonchalant husband of hers, who loved fooling around, seemed to be increasingly enigmatic.She believed James was hiding something from her.However, James said nothing, and so, she remained silent too.‘My husband isn’t completely useless.’Thea was jubilant.At least she now knew that James had real medical skills. Not only that, his skills were so advanced that a member of the Doctor’s Association would kneel before him and beg to be his disciple.She recalled the words James had said to her.He talked about guiding her and imparting some medical knowledge to her. He also told her she would be able to distinguish herself from the crowd in a medical competition with the knowledge she now possessed.She had dismissed them as a joke.Now, however, it was not entirely impossible.After all, James’ medical skills were so advanced that even a member of

Thea wore a surly expression. She thought that James was a dark horse. It turned out to be a misunderstanding. She had seen through James’ true character. However, James was not entirely shameless. At least he told her the truth. “Thea, James, what are you two talking about?” Xara approached them with a puzzled look on her face. Thea turned to look at her and asked, “Xara, was it you who told James about grandpa’s condition?” “Huh?” Xara froze. What? When? After being momentarily stunned, she recollected herself and nodded. “Please don’t blame me for this, Thea. James made me do it. I didn’t have a choice.” Thea looked at James. The good impression she had of him was gone in an instant. “A man has to be honest and pragmatic in whatever they do.” “Yes, you’re right. I’m sorry.” James did not dare offer a rebuttal. “Hmph,” Thea grunted and turned to leave. After leaving, Xara asked, “James, why did you lie to her? Why can’t you just tell her the trut

“Don’t lie to me, James.” “I’m not. There isn’t much left on the card. Maybe a hundred million?” James had a frustrated look. Was it his fault that he was loaded? Thea snatched the card in his hands and grunted coldly, “I’m curious to see how much there is left in this card.” Saying that, she headed to a nearby ATM. She inserted the card. “Password?” She turned to look at James, who followed close behind. James replied, “Six eights.” Thea keyed in the password. Upon seeing the number on the screen, she snickered. Then, wearing a grim expression, she reproached James, “The balance is zero. How dare you lie to me?” James scratched his nose. The balance was indeed zero. However, it was capable of withdrawing a hundred million dollars. Besides, he did not have to pay them back. The financial department of the country would help him pay for everything. Thea pulled out the card and returned it to James. Although the balance was zero, Thea was delighted. Th

Just like Quincy, Julianna looked down on James and belittled him non-stop upon meeting him. James smiled faintly. Thea shot him a look of resentment. As the saying went, bad news travels fast. James’ reputation for being trash had already spread to North Cansington. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Julianna, James isn’t completely useless. He just likes keeping a low profile. He practices medicine, and it was he who treated my injuries. His medical skills even far exceed that of Dr. Fallon of Cansington.” She could only say this at that moment. Although James had said he did not know much about medicine, she did not wish to embarrass herself in front of her former best friend, so she tried her best to explain. Julianna only looked at James upon hearing this. However, she still did not hold him in high regard. After all, many practice medicine in Cansington. It would be strange if someone from the area did not know a thing or two about it. She did not take Thea’s words

“Wow! Is this the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng?” “I can even smell its fragrance from here.” “Legend has it that it has an extremely high medical value and can be used to cure all illnesses by combining it with other high-quality herbs.” The crowd was heated in their discussions. Upon seeing the ginseng, James had a satisfied look. “Not bad. It’s indeed a thousand years old. I never expected to see such a precious herbal medicine in a bustling city like this.” Though Thea did not know anything about medicine, she was nevertheless stunned upon seeing such huge ginseng. Christine spoke behind the auction block, “This thousand-year-old King of Ginseng was bought by my grandfather eight years ago by a pleasant coincidence. Ever since then, it’s been the signature treasure of our shop. I believe everyone here today has heard that its starting price is a hundred million. Thus, the bid increment cannot be less than a million dollars.” Hearing this, the crowd gasped. Altho

After Bjorn’s announcement, no one dared make a bid. He wore a satisfied expression. Just then, a voice came. His face darkened upon seeing James making a bid. Seeing a young and unfamiliar face, he said coldly, “Hey, did you not hear that this King of Ginseng’s mine? What’s the meaning of this? Are you going against my orders?” James could not care less about Bjorn. He needed the thousand-year-old King of Ginseng for Thea’s sake. From the auction block, Christine’s face darkened upon seeing Bjorn. She knew he was a troublesome man. Besides, his medical skills were not beneath her grandfather’s. As Bjorn had announced the King of Ginseng as his, she could not sell it at a good price. Then, she saw James make a bid and Thea by his side. Christine froze. Was that not Thea Callahan? Although she was not sure of Thea’s background, her grandfather had defended Thea during Yuna Lawson’s birthday party. Faced with Bjorn’s threat, James laughed. “Since both of us wan
