“Really? Then how did you manage to meet the Greene Family?” Madison smiled coldly.“Elder Greene had invited you? Do you think anyone could just attend their feast? And you promised to bring this many people along? Could you not have made a more believable lie? Will you hire someone else to pretend as Elder Greene when the time comes? I know you have been dealing with some issues, but I don’t want you to change other people’s opinions about you this way.” Madison spoke in a disappointed tone.“I didn’t hire someone to do an act.” Jason looked at Madison and frowned. “And I have never felt bad when I’m beside you. I do not care what they think of me. What I care about is what you think of me. If you don’t believe me, go ask them yourself.” Jason handed the business card over to Madison.Looking at Madison’s stunning face, his eyes showed a glimpse of gentleness. “I did not amount to anything back then and always caused you trouble. Now, I’m afraid that you would think that I’m too o
Jason sought after the source of the commotion. As he approached, he saw a medical center named Prosperity Hall. In front was a middle-aged woman, wearing mourning attire, knelt in front of a man that was laid down on top of a stretcher. The man looked sickly ill and was obviously in a near-death state.“Mrs. Johnson, I would admit to mistreating him if I had done so, but I haven’t, so there is no need to do this. You can do whatever you want, even if you wanted to take my life.” An elderly man stood in front of the middle-aged woman and spoke softly. His tone was calm, but it carried a hint of resignation.“Please leave the area. There’s nothing to see here. I will admit my faults if I have done any. I would not bully anyone,” Looking at the spectating crowd, the elder said calmly. He had been practicing medicine in the area for decades and was well known in that area. The spectators thought someone was causing issues and wanted to help, but they did not imagine that the elder had c
The elderly healer looked at his granddaughter’s concerned stare, and he nodded with a bitter smile on his face.“Bring the man inside first. There’s no need to rush your issue.” Jason spoke calmly.Inside Prosperity Hall, Jason examined the building’s internal design. He lightly nodded and said, “The location was not that good, but the design of the building is nice enough.”The young lady looked angry as she heard what he said. She thought Jason was picky even after being gifted a medical center. However, she had not reacted since she was more concerned about her grandfather’s issue.”“Are there golden needles?” Jason asked the old man after examining.“Yes.” The elderly healer nodded. He then retrieved the golden acupuncture needles for Jason. He felt slightly embarrassed as he looked at the pristine-looking golden needles. He then spoke with an embarrassed tone, “My abilities are lacking. I have only used the silver needles.”Jason lightly smirked and walked towards the dying
“I suppose I had found the silver lining.” After Jason had performed acupuncture on the elderly healer, he could not help but let out a gleeful cheer.“Not exactly, you paid for it with the medical center.” Jason laughed.“Grandpa, you’ve gotten better?” The young lady asked enthusiastically.“Not yet, but it's almost there.” The elderly healer smiled. He then bowed towards Jason as a sign of respect. “Thank you, good sir, for saving me.”“Don’t worry about it. I saved your life in exchange for the Prosperity Hall. It should be a fair exchange.” Jason lightly smirked. Jason believed that the old man was a kind person at heart. At the very least, he would not abuse his position as a medical healer, nor did he deflect his responsibility. This is the reason why Jason saved his life. Although the Prosperity Hall was taken as the price of treatment, it was better for them not to owe anything to each other.“You’re not afraid that we will renege our promise?” The young lady spoke coyly.
Jason really did not know if he felt touched about her consideration or angered because she still distrusted him. Regardless, the reason behind her actions was due to Jason’s past history. The impression that he had left on others was not something that can be changed easily. He rubbed his nose and smiled helplessly.The next day, he directly made his way towards the Prosperity Hall. The grandparent and child had been waiting there for a while and had the contract already drafted before Jason arrived.“Good sir, I have a request. I hope that you will accept it,” The elderly healer looked at Jason and said with a melancholy voice after the procedures were made.“Go ahead.” Jason nodded, gesturing to him to continue.“Could you keep ‘Prosperity Hall’ as its name?” His face reddened as he made the request.“No way.” Jason shook his head after hearing it. His response was full of conviction.“I suppose I was rash. It would cause you inconvenience after I had trashed the reputation of
It took some effort for the young lady to catch the book. She spoke with pride, as she looked at the book in her hands. “I’ve already memorized the book. If you don’t believe me, you can test me.” She then spoke coyly.Jason’s eyes lit up as he heard what she said as if it had garnered his interest. He randomly chose a few medical herbs from the book and realized the kid had perfectly recited the corresponding details.“Not bad; now try making a few prescriptions from it.” He spoke calmly towards the young lady.The young lady had made five medical prescriptions using the herbs Jason mentioned as the recipe, and this had improved his impression of her.“Grandpa always said that I have exceptional talent.” The young lady, Icy White, spoke with a satisfied tone as she looked at Jason with pride. She then thought, ‘You will definitely be willing to teach me, as I have incredibly talented.’“Out of five prescriptions, you’ve got three wrong. Also, you could’ve made seventeen prescript
Due to the previous incident, he had the remainder of his day to relax. There were occasionally people that were here to fetch medicine, and they were managed by Icy herself. However, Jason had not sat idly during the evening; instead, he found himself a rosewood plank. He inscribed it after coloring it.Icy, who had witnessed the entire process, was stunned as she saw him inscribing strong-looking characters onto the plank with his bare fingers. That made her look at him as if he was a monster. She did not know how he managed to do that with his bare fingers if the material was made of hardwood.“What?” She looked at Jason and lightly smacked the wooden board, and found it to be authentic. As she recalled what she said to him prior, her face reddened. ’Show him what’s good? I suppose I was asking to be killed instead. This fellow is definitely not human. How could a human do something like this?’“Not bad.” Jason nodded as he oriented the wooden board properly. Luckily, he had not
Icy gritted her teeth as anger filled her eyes. She realized something right before she spoke; she clenched her teeth and walked towards Jason, massaging his shoulders. At the same time, a woman wearing a surgical mask stood outdoors. She was furious upon witnessing the scene.“B*stard, not only have you wasted my sister's money. You’d even dare to woo another woman? Jason, just you wait!” That person was Miranda. She had been investigating what Jason was really up to, ever since she overheard the conversation between Jason and Madison.She had not imagined that he had actually opened a medical center of his own, despite his lack of ability. Moreover, he was accompanied by a fascinatingly stunning young lady. She thought that he had been spending the Dale Family’s money and did not deserve to have all this going for him.“Average strength, you still need more practice.” Jason had not discovered Miranda. As the surroundings were filled with people, he could not notice anything precis
