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

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

Even if any of them had personal opinions on the matter, none of them dared to speak a word. After all, while it was true that they would receive no shortage of awards and recognition should they succeed in saving the children, failure to save them would surely result in them being painted as a villain. There was simply no way that any of them were going to willingly become a scapegoat. “…Does nobody have anything to say at all…?” asked Zane, his tone rightfully urgent as he scanned through all the present doctors. Of course, nobody dared to answer him, and they found themselves averting their gazes whenever he turned to look at any of them. Seeing their reactions, Zane could only sigh. It seemed that his professional career was going to end soon… However, just as he was thinking that all was lost, someone suddenly broke the silence by saying, “I have a few ideas.” Upon hearing that someone was actually willing to make a suggestion, all the doctors in the room immediately t

Jace quickly attempted to persuade the others to calm down before things escalated too quickly. To be quite honest, even he had been surprised to hear Gerald say that someone had drained the babies of their oxyblood. It was a statement he hadn’t heard of before. Even so, he had witnessed Gerald’s skills and abilities before, so Jace trusted that Gerald knew what he was doing. “Hah! See, Dr. Mabb? I already told you that his feat earlier was just a coincidence! He’s not really capable at all! Being so young, what would he know? You’d think he was here to act in some movie after hearing his explanation!” muttered Walbridge unhappily. Though he hadn’t said that in a particularly loud voice, everyone in the conference room could hear what he had just said. It was obvious that Walbridge was jealous of Gerald. After all, he had seen the way Breanna—his long-time crush who was also his junior—looked at Gerald earlier. That was certainly the last straw for him! Infuriated by him, W
