"Sure. I'll let you see for yourself so that next time, you won't run your mouth," Miles said to Jace coldly, leading the way into the bedroom.Jenny was curled up on her bed, hugging her knees."My mom… She didn't give you a hard time, did she?" Jenny asked nervously. After experiencing how quickly she had fallen asleep last time, she was desperate for it again. She was terrified her mother might have ruined everything."No worries. Come on, let's restart the needle therapy again," Miles said as he gave her a reassuring smile.Jenny sighed in relief and quickly lay down on the bed.Miles performed the therapy once more. As soon as the last needle went in, Jenny drifted into a deep, peaceful sleep.Both Jace and Michael could only watch in astonishment."Your skill in needle therapy is amazing! Absolutely extraordinary!" Jace exclaimed in disbelief.Miles didn't bother to respond and simply said to Michael, "Here's a prescription. Make sure she takes the medicine as directed.

Helen finally realized it was true. A mix of regret and embarrassment washed over her. Tea leaves worth thousands of dollars, and she had dumped half a pack to make some poached pears… What a stupid thing she did!Condor was just as stunned."Miles said a friend gave it to him. I thought it was just some regular stuff…" Helen muttered, face dark with embarrassment.Herman chuckled. "Maybe I made a mistake. I'm out of tea at home, actually. Any tea is fine for me, and I'm not picky!" With that, he grabbed the tea box, two poached pears, and left the kitchen.Helen stood there, dumbfounded. That was top-grade Scarlet Bloom! She wanted nothing more than to snatch it back.Condor quietly said, "Let it go. We need his help. Just treat it as a thank-you gift.""It's all Miles's fault for not saying anything!" Helen grumbled."Miles did tell you. You just didn't believe him!"Helen went silent.Miles heard everything from the living room and found it all quite amusing, but he didn'

"If he's the district chief, then I'm the deputy of the Department of Public Safety!" Milo sneered. "Who hasn't lied before?"Normally, if someone dropped the word chief, Milo might have gotten nervous. But this time, Terry had promised him that he could keep the entire one hundred thousand if he managed to get them back.Milo owed the casino more than eighty grand. If he couldn't pay up, he was as good as dead. That was why he didn't care if Herman was really a chief or not."Seriously... If you don't pay up, I'll stick this into every one of you right here tonight!" Milo snarled as he flashed a knife.The whole crew he brought along were all desperate gamblers. They had all given up on being afraid, not to mention they didn't know just how influential a deputy chief was supposed to be.To show he meant business, Milo slapped Herman several more times.Miles watched lazily as his uncle got beaten up. He found this entire situation quite funny. Did this count as Herman doing him

"My crew stirred up some trouble at the hospital today. I've already dealt with them," Samuel said, stepping back respectfully. "No one will bother you ever again. These gifts are a small gesture of my apology, and I'm now asking for your forgiveness."With the gifts stacked at the door, Condor finally believed Samuel was truly there to apologize."That's enough, apology accepted. You can go now," Miles called out from behind the crowd.Samuel nodded quickly and led his men away, disappearing as quickly as they had arrived. As soon as they were gone, Helen turned pale and let out a shaky breath. "That was terrifying! That man's aura is so frightening!"Condor just stared at the mountain of gifts. "We shouldn't accept all this from him. We need to return them!""They should pay for scaring my wife!" Miles said, dragging the boxes inside without waiting for permission.Helen snapped, "Pay what? Your dad has already paid two hundred thousand dollars to your Uncle Herman to find so

"What a weird name," Venus muttered.Zack smiled and started to explain. "The Blue Zephyr is a famous tea variety that goes all the way back to the Capetian Dynasty in the 12th century. The process included being steamed and pressed. It was celebrated as the two best teas together with the White Resin. Kings and ministers of ages past all praised the Blue Zephyr as great tea.""You know so much about culture, Zack! Not like us, we don't know anything about this at all…" Venus said, giving Zack exactly the praise he wanted as he beamed. He proclaimed himself as one from a scholarly family, after all."Music, chess, penmanship, painting, poetry, wine appreciation, horticulture, and tea culture… Those were the eight refined arts the cultivated should master. I'm into the classics, just like Rena," Zack said.Rena shook her head. "Venus just got me interested. I'm just curious, so I don't know much yet."While they chatted, Miles just sat there quietly, not saying a word.Suddenl
