Chapter 1253
Before any of the guards could make a move, however, the receptionist—who had been sitting by a table at the entrance this entire time—suddenly shouted, “A guest has sent over prestigious gifts for Lady Jordain from the Smith family!” Upon hearing that, everyone immediately fell silent. While Yana and the others simply exchanged glances of dismay, Georgia found herself trembling as all of them slowly turned to look at the entrance, slight curiosity reflected in their eyes. What on earth was happening? Prestigious gifts from a guest? And they were for the old lady of the Smith family of all people! Given the ‘prestigious’ part of the gifts, it was clear that whatever the guest had sent over, they were most definitely greater than any of the previous presents that the other guests had gifted Georgia. After all, gifting someone with a prestigious present was far from a common practice. While it was obvious that the gifts themselves would definitely be of great value, the more import

In each of their hands, were the eighteen gifts that the receptionist had earlier announced! As for the most expensive gift—that being the forty million dollar villa—it was presented in the form of a contract. “…H-how… How is any of this possible…?” muttered Georgia to herself, completely flabbergasted. “We’ve brought the gifts over, Mr. Crawford! Here’s the list of the gifts!” said one of the bodyguards after walking toward Gerald and bowing respectfully. “And why are you showing that to me? You should be showing it to grandma instead!” replied Gerald as he turned to look at Serenity with a smile. “Since it was your birthday yesterday and I wasn’t able to attend, these are my gifts to you.” Meanwhile, the others had their eyes widened in shock as they took turns muttering, “…M-Mr. Crawford…?” All of them had heard the guards calling Gerald, Mr. Crawford, and this included Yana. Now feeling completely stunned, Yana and the others could barely believe it as they turned to fa
Chapter 1255
Yana had spent most of her life relying on her family’s background, which led to how condescendingly she behaved today. It was also because of that reliance that she had no idea how terribly she was going to suffer, now that she had behaved so terribly before Gerald. Gerald had made sure to word his previous sentence in a way that warned her that she wasn’t the only one capable and powerful in the world. In fact, there were many others who held much more power than her. Georgia and the rest of the Sier family members themselves were now so frightened that they didn’t even dare to utter a single word. Regardless, the birthday party had long lost its meaning and after a short while, Gerald and the Smiths simply left their villa. Though the incident hadn’t really taken place for that long, Serenity felt like she had just experienced a roller coaster of emotions. Quite literally as well. By the time the Smiths stepped out of Georgia’s villa, the old woman could already feel her blo

While the Smiths had also met up with others to attempt to treat the illness, none of them had been able to produce any substantial results. It was around then when they came across the incredibly skillful Dr. Mabb and began asking for his help. After several visits, those from the Smith family even got to know both of Jace’s apprentices a bit better. The man—who was around the age of thirty—went by the name of Walbridge Lumb. As for the other apprentice, she was a twenty-three-year-old-woman by the name of Brianna Zeigler. Regardless, while it was true that Dr. Mabb had already made multiple visits before this, he hadn’t been able to discern what the issue was with her yet. “…If there isn’t anything else, I’m going to go have a look at grandma first. Though all of you needn’t be too worried since her illness isn’t that major,” said Gerald rather confidently. Upon hearing that, Walbridge’s expression immediately turned fierce, though he had already been hostile from the moment

“…Oh? I don’t think I’ve mentioned when the next attack was going to be, have I? How’d you make such an accurate guess, Gerald?” asked Serenity, slightly shocked. “I figured as much. After all, it’s now only an hour before noon. Since there’s going to be a rise in temperature, excess heat in the body is going to cause disruptions within your blood circulation and respiratory system, both of which contribute to causing migraines,” replied Gerald with a smile. Hearing that, the old lady smiled before nodding approvingly at Gerald as she said, “I hadn’t expected you to know such things, Gerald!” Upon seeing that, Walbridge—who had been standing at the side—simply sneered, feeling slightly annoyed. Jace, however, turned to look at Gerald in surprise while thinking, ‘…Could this young man truly be proficient in medicine…?’ Just as Gerald had said, Serenity—who had been talking and laughing cheerily before this—suddenly portrayed an extremely pained expression on her face sometime
Chapter 1258
The old lady had a weak smile on her face as her breathing gradually returned stable. As Serenity’s butler ran over to her to wipe her sweat away, Jace and Walbridge could only stand there, completely flabbergasted. It was especially shocking to Jace since he hadn’t expected Gerald to actually know how to use Divine Acupuncture Therapy. After all, it was a skill that had died out, and Jace had even assumed that the technique had been lost forever. Now that he had witnessed it with his very own eyes, it was natural for him to feel completely stupefied. Walbridge himself soon began seething with envy as he thought, ‘Not only am I a few years older than him, but I’ve also visited famous masters and learned the ins and outs of medicine from a young age! Even though I’m a professional who’s received standard training and education, to think that I actually know less than this b*stard! This… I can’t just accept this!’ His jealousy only continued to soar when he saw how happily Breann

“…Did you say that someone gave him the first three chapters? Do you have any idea who that person is?” asked Gerald in shock. “I’ve never personally met him before either, Mr. Crawford. I only heard about it from Mr. Wytt. Regardless, according to Mr. Wytt, he had gotten acquainted with that mysterious person for quite some time. The person himself had come to the military region some time ago, and he apparently asked for Mr. Wytt’s help to place an object somewhere.” “To show his appreciation, he offered to teach Mr. Wytt the first three chapters of the Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique. Even if the mysterious man hadn’t chosen that to be his token of appreciation, I believe that Mr. Wytt would’ve still helped him. After all, the mysterious man was clearly much more powerful than Mr. Wytt for him to respect him so much. Whoever the person was, he definitely wasn’t anyone young, that’s for sure. Regardless, no matter how much I racked my brain, I simply couldn’t figure out who

Following that, Jace began describing the symptoms. By the time he was done, Gerald could feel his heart skip a beat. ‘…What? These… These symptoms… They’re definitely not symptoms of some kind of flu! These are the exact symptoms I had faced when I was suffering from the effects of Soul Eater! Symptoms that caused part of my blood and oxygen to be devoured! Rather than a disease, it’s an evil technique!’ Soul Eater was an evil technique that he had learned from the memories that had been implanted into him. He knew it quite well since he had been forced to use it a while back to escape. There just weren't any other better alternatives at the time. ‘Still, why are there so many children suffering from the effects of Soul Eater out of the blue? Could someone else out there know about the technique…?’ Gerald thought to himself, perplexed. However, he knew that now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. He should instead head over to the children first to see whether they truly were su
