“Thea.” He called out. “Yes?” Thea swiftly made her way over. James looked away sheepishly. “U-Unhook her bra for me. Then, hold onto her bra from the front. Don’t let it fall to the floor. I’ll be treating her from the back.” Thea hesitated for a second. Then, she nodded, “Alright.” She swiftly unhooked Delilah’s bra and got in front of her. That way, even if the bra fell, her naked body would not be exposed. Delilah’s bare back was a different story. It was exposed to the crowd and audiences all over the world. James swiftly retrieved the silver needles on Delilah’s back. The moment the silver needles were removed from her skin, dark, black blood oozed out of the openings and slowly flowed down her body. With silver needles in hand, James began to work quickly once again. Soon, Delilah’s back was filled with silver needles. “Give me the alcohol and the lighter.” Christine hurriedly handed them over to him. “Get me the chilled silver needles in the fridge.” O

The long-lost, legendary medical techniques James performed stunned all the doctors. In contrast to the doctors who were focused on the intricacies of James’ procedure, the crowd was enjoying the spectacle. From the crowd’s perspective, the whole performance was entertaining and exhilarating ─ especially when the silver needles formed the words ‘fire’ and ‘ice’ and intertwined with one another. They were astonished by what they witnessed. The whole process lasted only a few seconds. After time had passed, the Needle of Fire and the Needle of Ice were coated by Delilah’s darkened blood. James methodically removed the needles. Through the Needle of Yin and Yang, some of the toxins in Delilah’s body were released. However, she was not out of the woods just yet. After that, he turned to Thea. “Button up her shirt.” Thea carefully buttoned up Delilah’s shirt. James ordered Delilah, “Lie on your back.” Then, with Thea’s help, Delilah lay on the bed that had been prepa

Delilah’s body still contained trace amounts of poison. Jonathan, on the other hand, was sweating profusely in panic. He had used all means at his disposal. However, he could not release the toxins in Lucas’ body. His silver needles, acupuncture treatment, and other methods were rendered completely ineffective. Three minutes had passed. He tried looking over at how James was faring. However, the crowd blocked his view. He could not tell what was going on there, nor could he infer anything about Delilah’s condition. After the series of detoxifying procedures, James looked at Delilah who was lying on the bed, and asked, “How are you feeling now?” “How do I put it?” Lying on the bed, Delilah could not figure out how she was feeling exactly. After brief contemplation, she said, “I’m feeling a little dizzy. My body’s hot one moment and cold the next, but it’s not uncomfortable.” James asked, “Can you stand?” “I-I think so.” She tried to get up. Thea hurriedly helped

Even Christine Fallon got down on the ground. Only Jay remained standing. “What a sight.” Jay was pleased. “Solean Medicine still lives on.” Wearing enthusiastic expressions, all the renowned doctors fixed their gaze on James. James had demonstrated incredible mastery in the art of medicine. He had performed long-lost techniques that could only be found in ancient texts. The Needle of Fire… The Needle of Ice… The Needle of Yin and Yang… The Wind-Chasing Cup… the Dragon-seeking Massotherapy… And lastly, the Crucifier. “You…” Jonathan’s face turned pale. He stared at James with disbelief, “Impossible. How can this be? How’d you get out?” James said nothing and smiled. “Jonathan, do you admit defeat?” “I…” Jonathan opened and closed his mouth as if gasping for air. He finally said, “I admit defeat. I never expected you to master the intricacies of Goryeon Medicine. My defeat, however, doesn’t mean that Goryeon Medicine is inferior.” Faced with a complete and total lo

With James’ help, Thea became this year’s Asclepius. Although Thea knew nothing about medicine, the media bestowed her the title as a recognition of James’ contributions. James turned the tide of the competition and defeated Jonathan Harris. He defended the honor of Solean Medicine and the civilizational inheritance of Sol which had been passed down for thousands of years. Since James intended for Thea to be the Asclepius, he hoped they would obey his wishes as thanks for his hard work. James left silently. Though the medical conference was over, he still had his own problems to worry about. He was currently being prosecuted in court. Although he was framed, the fact remained that he forced himself on Tiara Youngblood. “What should I do?” Wearing a grim expression, James roamed the streets. Serena followed close behind him. James stopped and turned to look at Serena. “You should return first.” “What about you?” James dismissed her. “Just leave me alone for now

A police car pulled up to the courthouse. James was escorted out of the car. He noticed that a crowd had formed at the gates of the court. Thea and the rest of the Callahans were there. So were Quincy, Scarlett, and the others from Transgenerational Group. Zigmund was present too. Thea walked over to James who was in handcuffs and being escorted out of the police car. “May I speak with him for a while?” The police nodded and said, “Make it quick.” James smiled at her weakly. “Why are you here, honey?” Thea raised her hand to interrupt him. “You’re going to be convicted, James. The judge might deal with you leniently if you admit to your charges. I hope you learn your lesson after going to prison. I won’t be waiting for you. Once your sentence is determined, I’ll divorce you.” James felt a lump in his throat. Throughout their marriage, they had constantly been at odds with each other. This led to them almost splitting up a few times. Now, Thea had finally uttered

He never would have thought that the man who sullied his daughter was the Black Dragon, the guardian, and Asclepius of Sol. This was the man who protected the country against external threats and turned the tides of the competition at this year’s medical conference. There was no way he could prosecute such a man in court. However, this did not change the fact that his daughter had suffered. “James, it’s not impossible for me to withdraw the case. All you have to do is marry my daughter. Although you were being framed, Tiara’s innocent too. Now that she’s no longer a virgin, you have to take responsibility for that.” James frowned. “Zigmund, you forget that I have a wife.” With a calm voice, Zigmund replied, “I overheard Thea demanding to divorce you outside the court just now. Perfect timing, I’d say. If that goes through, you’ll be able to marry my daughter legally. Tiara’s a pretty decent girl herself. Her beauty and talents are not beneath that of Thea’s.” James gently

At court… The jury was assembled. Many Callahans were also present. At that moment, a court staff walked in and addressed the crowd apologetically, “I’m sorry. Mr. Youngblood has withdrawn his case. He said it was all a misunderstanding and that James did not rape his daughter. James, the accused, has been acquitted.” “What?” The Callahans stood up in disapproval. Gladys immediately cried out, “What the hell? The evidence is irrefutable. What do you mean by acquitted? Hurry and call for a trial! I want James to rot in prison!” The court staff ignored her and walked away after the announcement. The Callahans left with bewildered looks on their faces. Quincy and Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief. Quincy looked at Scarlett with a bright smile and said, “Looks like he has dealt with the problem.” “Yes.” Scarlett nodded, returning her smile. “Alright, we should return now.” James was acquitted of his charges. He left the court. Outside, he spotted the Callahans.
