Chapter 271

The young man was secretly stunned, but his expression remained calm.He asked Cassian lightly, "Why do you think I was the one who wrote the poem?""When I studied the poem just now, I found out that the spacing between each word is the same. That led me to think that the calligrapher must be a serious person."Then, Cassian gazed at the young man with a smile. "And you, my friend, are a serious person.""This is your first time meeting me, and yet you claim that I look serious. What makes you think that way?" The young man looked curious.But Cassian merely smiled faintly without saying another word.This bummed the man out. As a serious person, he needed to get to the bottom of everything in life. In fact, he hated those who never finished their sentences the most.To him, people who often left their sentences unfinished were all sleazy bastards. Hopefully, those bastards would suffer from all the inconveniences in life forever.After spending some time cursing at Cassian on

Chapter 272

The moment Frederick saw Cassian, a murderous glint crossed his eyes. He said, "Adam, let me introduce my guest to you. He's Adept Mabry, a miracle doctor.""Greetings, Adept Mabry!"Adam approached "Adept Mabry", otherwise known as Leto, immediately with a smile on his face. He stuck out his right hand, hoping to shake hands with Leto.But Leto merely shot Adam a cold glance. He wasn't interested in shaking hands with the latter at all.Adam just withdrew his hand. Not only did he not feel embarrassed in the slightest, but he also felt rather happy.From the way Adam saw it, the more temperamental the doctor, the more capable he was.Frederick explained, "Don't get mad at Adept Mabry, Adam. He's like this to everyone he's met.""Adept Mabry has traveled thousands of miles just to treat my grandfather. Why would I get mad at him? If anything, I should be grateful to him for coming here."Adam really was the prestigious scion of an elite family. He was a master at making polite

Chapter 273

Cassian was surprised, to say the least. He didn't expect Mitch to be an expert in talking back to others.Mitch continued smilingly, "Don't get mad at me, Adept Mabry. I just think that it's not a bad thing to have more doctors take a look at Mr. Prewett Senior. After all, we all care about his health. Isn't that right?""Hmph!" Leto harrumphed coldly in response. He didn't say anything after that."Do you think I'm right, Mr. Prewett?" Mitch asked Adam.Adam could only reply, "Since you've put it that way, Cassian may take a look at Grandpa's condition too. This way, please, Deputy Mayor Hurley and Adept Mabry."Adam gestured for everyone to follow him.Leto folded his hands behind his back, his long sleeves swishing behind him as well. Just like that, he strode into Prewett Manor as though he owned the place.Mitch said with a smile, "Let's go, Cassian."Soon, everyone entered the Prewett residence. Cassian discreetly studied the villa's interior. He found out that the vil

Holy shit! A billion dollars!Adam's expression faltered instantly the moment he heard the figure. Even though he had already heard from Frederick that Leto charged an astronomical amount of money for his services, he never would've thought that it'd be that expensive.A billion dollars might be a drop in the Prewetts' bank account, but it was still Adam's first time being charged that much just for a doctor's services."Oh? Are you unwilling to cough up the money, Mr. Prewett? In that case, I shall take my leave."Leto spun on his heel, already deciding to leave."Hold on!" Adam hurriedly exclaimed. "Adept Mabry, a billion dollars might be expensive on paper, but I'll still pay you the money as long as you can cure my grandfather. But—""But what?" Leto cut in impatiently."I just want to know what kind of disease my grandfather is afflicted with."Yesterday, Ezekiel collapsed without exhibiting any symptoms. Thankfully, Adam was able to send him to the hospital in time. Altho

"Adept Mabry, please save Mr. Prewett Senior! Please, I'm begging you!" Frederick cried out.He sank to his knees before Leto all of a sudden, tears already streaking down his cheeks as he continued to plead for him to save Ezekiel's life.Adam felt a little touched. He knew Frederick very well—that man never showed anyone else any respect, given his arrogant personality. He never would've thought that Frederick would kneel and beg Leto to save Ezekiel's life.It was then that he secretly vowed to remember Frederick for everything he had done for Ezekiel today.Leto let out a long, drawn-out sigh. "Fine. I shall cure Mr. Prewett Senior simply because you asked me to, Mr. Campbell.""Thank you so much, Adept Mabry!" Elated, Frederick urged Adam, "Hurry up and apologize to Adept Mabry already!""I'm terribly sorry for offending you just now, Adept Mabry. Once you've cured my grandfather, I'll gift you a villa that's worth ten million dollars," Adam said sincerely.But Leto merel

Cassian felt as though he was struck by a bolt of lightning.If Leto really was a member of the Hexen Coven, then how did he even get affiliated with Frederick in the first place?Suddenly, a shrill sound echoed throughout the room. Cassian looked up to see Leto placing the leaf by his mouth and playing a tune on it.In fact, that tune sounded very familiar. It was the same exact tune that Kendrick had played.Cassian felt quite confused. Back then, Kendrick had played his leaf in order to control the parasite lurking in Thiago's body. Then, what was the purpose of Leto doing the same thing?He stared at Leto unblinkingly, hoping to catch what the latter was up to.One minute later, Ezekiel's body began trembling violently."Look! Mr. Prewett Senior is reacting to stimuli!" Frederick hollered.Adam glanced at Ezekiel, shocked and delighted at the same time.A smile curled on Frederick's lips as he exclaimed, "I told you not to worry, didn't I? Adept Mabry will definitely cure

Chapter 277

"I'll take you to the hospital right now, Adept Mabry!" Frederick offered."No need for that."After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Leto said to Adam, "Mr. Prewett, truthfully speaking, I can still save Mr. Prewett Senior's life. But in doing so, I'll have to pay a heavy price.""What price?" Adam asked immediately.Leto replied, "Mr. Prewett Senior is extremely ill right now. If I cure him, I'll end up losing ten years of my life."Adam was stunned, to say the least.In the past, he had heard stories about experts draining their life essence just to heal those who were grievously injured. He never would've thought that doctors would also lose their lifespans just by treating patients who were severely ill.What should he do now?Adam didn't hesitate to kneel before Leto. He begged, "Adept Mabry, please! I'm begging you! Please save my grandfather!"Frederick began persuading Leto as well. "Please help my friend out, Adept Mabry.""I told you that I'll lose te

Chapter 278

Everyone turned to look at Cassian simultaneously at that moment.Adam thought he was hearing things. "What did you just say? Can you repeat yourself?""I said, I can actually cure Mr. Prewett Senior," Cassian said with a smile on his face."You can save my grandfather? You're not kidding, right?"Adam didn't believe Cassian's words at all. There were so many medical experts working together to treat Ezekiel at the hospital, and yet they couldn't even figure out what was wrong with him. What made Cassian believe that he could cure Ezekiel in the first place anyway?Moreover, Cassian was only in his early 20s! How skilled could a doctor that age be, anyway?Was he hinting that his medical skills were superior to the medical experts at the hospital? That was impossible!"Mr. Prewett, I'm not joking around. Seriously, I can cure Mr. Prewett Senior." Cassian looked very confident. He had just treated Thiago's case of Two-Fanged Venom some time ago. In contrast to Thiago's condit

"Will you believe me if I tell you I'm not dating her?" Cassian asked.Adam shook his head. "No way."Then why did he even bother asking Cassian that question?Adam continued, "Based on my understanding of Vera, the man she likes is bound to have a decent personality."Frederick's eyes glimmered at that moment. What did Adam mean by that? Was he planning to let Cassian treat Ezekiel?Panic began to overwhelm his senses at that thought. He secretly swapped glances with Leto on the spot. When he was about to speak up, Adam switched the topic."No matter how skilled you are, I won't request you to treat my grandfather, Cassian.""Why not?" Cassian looked puzzled. Even Mitch was confused as well.Adam replied seriously, "I like Vera, but she likes you. That makes us love rivals. Hence, I won't request you to treat my grandfather.""You do realize that if I'm the one treating your grandfather, you don't have to pay me a single cent, nor will you lose half of your assets," Cassian

Chapter 280

What was going on?Leto had a feeling that something had gone horribly wrong. By right, Ezekiel should be exhibiting some reactions at this stage of the treatment. But now, he remained comatose on the bed without moving an inch. This wasn't supposed to happen. Something definitely felt off.Leto frowned slightly. He began using more force in playing the tune on the leaf. The sound he produced became even shriller and more high-pitched.However, Ezekiel still showed no signs of stirring awake.Gradually, sweat began forming on Leto's forehead. The act of controlling a parasite was very taxing on his stamina.Three minutes soon passed. Leto stopped playing on the leaf at that moment. Instead, he pinched Ezekiel's cheeks and gently pried his mouth open.Where did the parasite go?Leto was flabbergasted, to say the least. This had never occurred before."Adept Mabry, how's my grandfather doing?" Adam couldn't resist asking."Don't worry, Mr. Prewett. He's still doing fine."A
