Upon hearing this, Joseph displayed a look of astonishment. He clutched his chest as he exclaimed, "Absolutely, Dr. Ballard, you're spot on!"At this point, the viewers in the livestream burst into laughter."No way! Is this some actor he brought in?""Isn't this scripted Q&A and praise? It can't be real!""This is hilarious. It's more entertaining than watching a TV drama.""This won't do. What if the actor he brought doesn't know anything about medicine?"Soon, the online chatter of the netizens caught the host's attention.So, they urgently discussed a plan of action. The final decision was to bring a patient from the hospital to the scene and seek medical advice from Sebastian! The medical records of this patient were already in the hands of the host."Ladies and gentlemen, I've noticed the comments you just made. So, our production team has urgently invited a patient to come to the clinic and seek medical advice from Sebastian. Now, the medical records of this patient are
A moment later, the livestream comment section exploded!"Whoa! Looked it up, it's true!""You young folks don't even recognize Mr. Salvatore! If I were your parents, I'd want to smack some sense into you!""Haha, where's that guy from earlier? He had it rough, so now he's probably begging his grandpa to log in."At this moment, a certain young person holding their phone felt utterly defeated. What was once a moment of triumphant banter with fellow viewers had now turned into a humiliating situation.Then, a sharp viewer in the chat exclaimed, "Whoa! Look, Mr. Salvatore is actually in the livestream!""@RandallSalvatore, hi, Mr. Salvatore, I have nothing to do with this. I'm just here for the show.""@RandallSalvatore, me neither. It's this guy @Artemisxo. He's the one arguing with your grandson."Suddenly, the comments section was filled with a chorus of "Mr. Salvatore".The host, upon seeing these comments, immediately put on a respectful expression and said, "Dear viewers
She knew Randall, of course. He was the President of Steinberg's traditional medicine organization and held a high position.If a man like him gave Sebastian such high remarks on his acupuncture technique, then it meant Sebastian was really good at it.But how?Whitney frowned.However, Mabel scoffed coldly and said, "It's just an acupuncture technique, so it can't showcase his medical skills. We're talking about his medical skills today, not his acupuncture technique. Is he really that great for using a few needles, huh? What a joke!"The host smiled and said, "Ms. Lucero is right. Let us continue watching Sebastian's skills."…Sebastian was done with the treatment and began storing his needles. "It's done," he announced. Joseph quickly moved his body and exclaimed, "My god! It's really not painful anymore! Dr. Ballard, your acupuncture technique is really top-tier! I was wrong for not recognizing you at first. I hope you forgive me."Sebastian smiled lightly. "All good. Bu
Dispel their doubts?The entire livestream suddenly became unusually lively and intense."Why does he think he can dispel doubts? He's just a freeloading scumbag! What right does he have to say that?" "Hilarious! What medical skills does he have?""Look at all those protective charms and mirrors of symbols in the room. If that's not the setup of a superstitious charlatan, what is it?"Of course, some alo started supporting Sebastian based on the acupuncture technique he displayed earlier."I think he might know a thing or two.""Yeah, even Mr. Salvatore praised his acupuncture technique. Someone like that surely must have medical skills.""He doesn't look like a scumbag. Maybe someone's intentionally trying to smear him?"Instantly, the two sides erupted into a heated argument within the livestream.In the studio, Whitney stared at the screen, her brows furrowed deeply. She then texted Mabel, "Are these comments from people you brought in?"Mabel replied calmly, "Yes, Ms. S
"Just admit that you don't have any medical skills, and I'll take care of the aftermath."Inside the shop, a phone chimed with a notification. Sebastian picked it up and glanced at it before he chuckled indifferently and replied with a message, "Ms. Sutton, you needn't worry about me. Unfortunately, I can cure him."After that, Sebastian paid no more attention to his phone. Upon seeing his replies, Whitney was furious beyond measure!Back in the studio, she saw on the camera feed that Sebastian had gestured for the middle-aged man to take a seat. After briefly examining him, Sebastian looked at the staff member holding the microphone and asked calmly, "Can I speak now?""You're done?" The staff member was puzzled.Sebastian nodded. "Yes."The comments in the livestream went wild again."He's done?""He just took a glance, and he's done?""Does he really know how to treat people…""Haha, let us wait and see."In the studio, the host seized the opportunity to ask, "Ms. S
"Holy crap! He actually got it right! And not a single detail was wrong!""Oh my goodness! Is he a miracle doctor?""Weren't they saying he had no medical skills? What's going on now?"The audience went wild, flooding the comments with excitement. The most amusing part was that, half a minute later, the comments in the livestream were completely uncontrollable. The word "Dr. Ballard" filled the screen. In the studio, the host turned toward Whitney and Mabel, looking quite surprised. Whitney frowned, feeling a bit shaken but maintaining a composed demeanor. On the other hand, Mabel wore a look of astonishment. Clearly, she hadn't expected Sebastian to actually be accurate. This livestream was originally intended to ruin Sebastian's reputation, but it had unexpectedly elevated him to the status of a miraculous doctor."Impossible! This medical report must be fake!" Mabel shouted at the camera without caring for her image."Enough!" Whitney's face sank as she glared at Mabe
Upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned.The patient and his family were also staring at Sebastian in confusion."Is it really curable?" asked the patient.Sebastian nodded. "Trust me.""You brat, you'd better think about this properly. If you can't treat him, I'd get really mad!" The patient's son glared at Sebastian angrily.Sebastian just smiled back.The staff member immediately said, "Okay, let's connect with some experts from Callaway Hospital and hear their opinions."Soon, the call was made.Addressing the camera, the staff member asked, "Hello, Dr. Powell."In the conference room at Callaway Hospital, Dr. Powell glanced at the other experts and unequivocally said, "Hello, I'm also watching your livestream. I can clearly tell the viewers that this patient's condition is very unique and challenging." He added, "It's a complicated case and practically incurable. We can only manage the pain with medication to sustain basic living.""Understood. So, you're saying t
The livestream descended into chaos. Did the patient really hug Sebastian's legs? What on earth was happening here? The patient's son, bewildered, hastily pulled his father up and anxiously asked, "Dad, you aren't in pain anymore?""Not in pain, truly… Dr. Ballard's medical skills are just too incredible!" the patient exclaimed with joy. He added, "Dr. Ballard, you have no idea what those seven years were like for me. Constant check-ups, medication every day… And now, with just a few taps from you, the pain is gone."With that, the patient seized the microphone from the staff, glaring into the camera. "Dr. Powell, you are nothing but a mediocre doctor! All of you at Callaway Hospital are quacks!"This moment instantly set the livestream on fire! The audience of 150 thousand fell oddly silent. Subsequently, the comment section was flooded with comments of sheer astonishment."No way? It got cured just like that?""My god… Is he really a miraculous doctor?""This isn't ju
As the man in the black robe yelled, the entire hall fell silent at once. The thin old man threw the black-robed old man a disgruntled look, but he returned obediently to his seat.Once the noise had died down, Preston stepped forward and swept an icy gaze over the crowd who were present. "You call yourself the elders of the family?"The monument of our ancestral dragon is right in front of you. How could you bully two young members of the family in front of it? Don't you feel any shame?"Besides, how dare you speak before Arnaud does?"After the harsh scolding they received from Preston, no one in the crowd dared to protest. Sebastian nodded involuntarily. It appeared that Preston did have influence in the Ballard family. At least no one had interrupted his scolding, including Arnaud and the man in the black robe.Preston huffed angrily and bowed to Arnaud, who sat in the middle. "Arnaud, I've brought Samson and Sebastian!"Preston went over to the chair next to the black-robe
"Sebastian, I won't be going in. Remember, don't say anything without being spoken to, and don't be impulsive!" Andreas said softly in Sebastian's ear when they reached the door to the hall. He then walked over to the crowd, which was packed on both sides of the hall.Samson and Preston walked into the hall without any change in expression. Sebastian hesitated for a moment before hurrying to catch up.When they reached the entrance, the two old men reached out to stop them and said to Preston, who was in the lead, "Preston, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be a good idea for you to go in. Everyone knows that you're biased toward Samson's family. If you get into an argument with Arnaud, then—""Nonsense!" Preston yelled furiously. He spoke in a menacing tone to the two old men. "Don't try those tricks with me. Today, I'm going to be the voice of reason. Who among you can do anything to me?"With that, he pushed them aside and strode into the hall.The two old men gazed after his ret
The Ballard Estate's resources were unfathomable as it was. Could Isabella's family be even more powerful than theirs?Sebastian clearly remembered that both he and Samson were under the Sacred Medicine Society. They even had the same mentor.The Sacred Medicine Society was above all the other mystic martial arts sects. Even the sect leaders of the Nine Sects were very respectful toward his mentor.If Samson really was from the same sect as Sebastian, then his mentor had clearly been unable to save him. Wouldn't that mean that the Sacred Medicine Society was no match for the Ballards?Wouldn't that mean that Isabella's family was an even greater entity?"If my mother's family is really that powerful, why couldn't they rescue my father? There would also be no reason to let me join the Sacred Medicine Society either, right?" Sebastian asked probingly. It seemed as if Andreas had never even thought about such questions. He smiled and shook his head. "You probably don't know about a
As they stepped out of the courtyard gate, Samson suddenly turned and lowered his voice as he said to Sebastian, "I didn't treat you and your mother well. Please don't hold it against me."Sebastian felt even more conflicted. After everything he had been through, he knew very well that there were times when one really had no choice. When Samson saw that Sebastian was looking at him with a conflicted expression, he patted him on the shoulder and gave him a warm smile. Then he took a token from Preston and walked out of the yard.They followed Preston as he walked toward the east, where there was a majestic-looking building."Why are you helping me?" Sebastian suddenly turned and asked Andreas in a low voice. Andreas glanced at him and gave him a long, cryptic smile. "Do you think I'm helping you? I'm helping myself while doing so!""Oh?" Sebastian looked at Andreas in confusion, his brow knitted. Even Rexton had mentioned that Andreas was in Arnaud's favor. Why would he need t
When Rexton and the others had gone, Preston turned to look at Samson and said irritatedly, "You little rascal. Would I ever hurt you?"Besides, you've been here in isolation for ten years. Why hasn't your temper changed at all? Couldn't you show me some respect in front of all those people?"Samson glanced at Preston but didn't answer.Preston huffed and ignored him. He turned and looked Sebastian up and down instead."Hey, kiddo. Over ten years have passed in just the blink of an eye. You've probably forgotten me. I even gave you candy back then! Come over here and call me Great Uncle Preston!"Sebastian looked at him in surprise. It was true that he didn't have much of an impression of what had happened over ten years ago. However, he could tell from what Preston had said and done that his attitude toward Sebastian's family was completely different from Rexton and the others.Beside Sebastian, Andreas kept shooting him meaningful looks. Sebastian finally smiled and said, "Hell
Although the old man looked as if he was over 60 years old, his expression was sharp and lively, and his skin was smooth as a baby's. It gave him a youthful air.Even the severely injured apprentices all scrambled up from the ground when they saw him. They hastily bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Uncle Preston!"Even Rexton had no choice but to suppress his anger. He bowed sullenly to the old man and said, "Greetings, Uncle Preston."Preston Ballard glanced at Rexton and turned to shout angrily at the apprentices, "If I hadn't come, were you planning to tear the Ballard Estate apart? Look at all of you! Get out of here right now!"Despite the scolding they had been subjected to, none of them dared to protest. They all lowered their heads and slunk out of the yard. Preston glared angrily at them as they went and snorted. "What an embarrassment to the family!"Then he smiled slightly and looked at Samson and Sebastian as he asked, "Samson, do you have anything to say?"Samson lo
Rexton's pupils constricted, and the muscles in his face twitched. He stared at Samson with a wary look in his eyes. He and Samson were two minor stages apart. It was no laughing matter. If the two of them began to fight, Rexton would be sure to die if he didn't have any external assistance."What's the matter? Are you scared?" Samson sneered as he asked in a cold, accusatory tone. That flipped a switch in Rexton's head. His expression changed instantly, and he turned a fierce look on Samson. "Afraid?" he asked through gritted teeth.As he spoke, Rexton seemed to make up his mind. He slowly reached into his pocket and took out a pale blue paper charm, which looked thicker than usual.The paper charm was oppressive to look at. Sebastian instinctively sensed a threatening energy approaching!Even Samson looked wary when he saw the paper charm."Uncle Rexton, this is a Soulcrush Charm. Great Uncle Arnaud has clearly said that no one in the Ballard Estate is allowed to use spiri
Sebastian immediately felt the pressure around him drop. The feeling of being pinned down disappeared as well."How dare you—"Before Rexton could finish, a shadow flashed past him, and Samson popped up right in front of him.Samson stuck out his finger as if it were a sword and tapped him on the chest. Although Samson hadn't used any strength, Rexton could see the murderous look in his eyes. There was a dot of scarlet light that swirled around Samson's finger. A crimson rune was gradually appearing, and there was a chilling, murderous sensation in the air. Sebastian gasped. He had finally realized how the mystic spells should be used, and he was in awe. It wasn't that Sebastian was unable to do it. It was just that up until then, he had only seen the mystic sect apprentices of the secular world. Perhaps their understanding of how to use mystic spells was too superficial, which was why Sebastian's perception had also been affected.Realization only dawned on him when he saw
At Rexton's roar of fury, everyone turned to look at Samson, who was still standing there quietly without moving."A traitor? Murder?"There was finally a flicker of emotion on Samson's face. A sudden glimmer of light flared in his eyes, which had been devoid of life for a long time."Rexton, you know very well how your father died!"As Samson spoke, he walked toward Rexton with a steady step as he said, "I admit that I've wronged Sebastian and his mother. I was just too soft-hearted back then. That's why I believed your lies and tried to keep the big picture in mind for the Ballards, but look at how you've treated me!"There was suddenly a cold glint in Samson's eyes, and he said in a thunderous tone, "You set up a series of traps and tried to kill and torture my wife and son!"You pursued them until the ends of the earth! If my mentor hadn't rescued Sebastian, do you think he'd still be alive today?"Did you just accuse me of murder? Did you ever think of the fact that we're f
