chapter 9 From now on I won’t owe you anything.

Xavier family mansion.
In an antique room, an old man with a pale complexion and gray hair was lying on the bed.
The old man was infusing fluids on the back of his hand. He closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless as if he had passed out.
His breath was weak and his pulse was weak.
But although it was weak, it never stopped.
Master Quincey was holding the silver needles and applying them to the old man's body one by one.
He applied it very slowly and carefully, and each needle was accurately inserted into the center of the acupuncture point.
After more than a dozen injections, he began to pant slightly, and his face became increasingly unpleasant.
An hour later, Master Quincey walked out of the house.
"Master Quincey, how is my dad?"
A group of people gathered around, and a middle-aged man stepped forward to inquire urgently.
Andrew was also standing nearby, with a concerned look on his face.
"It's very bad." Master Quincey looked grave and asked quickly, "Who is the doctor who treated Anthony Xavier? Can you invite him? I have a few questions to ask him."
"Okay, wait a moment!"
The middle-aged man nodded and winked at the person next to him.
After a moment, Joseph, who was looking decadent, was pulled over.
"Let me go quickly, I tell you, it is illegal for you to control my freedom without authorization," Joseph shouted nervously.
"We don't control your freedom. We just asked you to treat my grandfather. You are my grandfather's doctor. Isn't it reasonable for you to stay with us?" Harper snorted.
Joseph wanted to say something else, but her words were blocked.
This was South Town.
The Xavier family had extensive connections and influence. Let alone imprisoning him, even killing him might not be impossible with the Xavier Family's power.
"Are you Dr. Scarlett?" Master Quincey came over.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Joshua Quincey."
"Joshua Quincey? Also known as that Living Yama?" Joseph was extremely shocked.
"Let me ask you, is the acupuncture technique you performed on Anthony Xavier from Sun Simiao 'The Prime Needle Technique, the Thousand Gold Recipe'?" Master Quincey asked seriously.
"Master Quincey, have you seen it too?"
"I borrowed it from a friend when I came here. But you, where did you get it?"
"I paid someone to find connections and saw it." Joseph was about to cry but had no tears, "My mother has cerebral infarction and high blood pressure, so I want to treat her with this prescription."
"What about your mother?"
"At home."
"She's fine?" Joshua looked surprised.
"She's fine."
"How is that possible? I think your acupuncture technique is totally wrong. Logically speaking, your mother should be in a similar situation to Anthony Xavier! Why is she fine and Anthony Xavier is like this?" Joshua Quincey frowned.
"The acupuncture technique is wrong?" Joseph was confused.
"Your last shot was obviously wrong. It was absolutely messing around. Anthony Xavier's problem also lies in this last shot!" Joshua Quincey said coldly.
This last shot was simply taking away a human life.
That position was a critical acupoint. Judging from the traces of pinholes, Joseph Scarlett was deliberately killing Anthony Xavier.
Therefore, Master Quincey didn't feel sorry for Joseph's current disheveled appearance.
When a tall and thick man next to him heard this, he rushed over and punched Joseph in the face.
"Ouch!"
Joseph was beaten to the ground on the spot, with half of his face swollen.
"You bastard!" The man yelled with red eyes, "You quack, you actually want to harm my grandfather? I will kill you!!"
After saying that, he rushed forward to teach Joseph a lesson.
"Benjamin Xavier!!" At this time, the middle-aged man shouted seriously.
Benjamin trembled all over.
"Step aside!" the middle-aged man shouted again.
Benjamin could only lower his head and step aside, "Yes, father."
The middle-aged man was Jack Xavier, ​​the youngest son of old Mr. Xavier, but he has absolute power in the Xavier Family. Nobody in South Town dares not to call him 'Mr. Jack'.
He stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose, ignored Joseph, and asked politely, "Master Quincey, how is my dad doing?"
"If I had come later, I might have had to collect Anthony Xavier's body. Now his condition has been stabilized by me. His life will not be in danger within five hours, but after five hours, I can only leave it to fate!"
"Even Master Quincey can't cure him?" Jack was stunned.
"Without this last injection, I still have confidence, but this injection completely disrupted Anthony Xavier's pulse. It is already a miracle that Anthony Xavier is still alive. I am not sure if I can bring him back from the gates of hell." Joshua sighed.
The Xavier family's breathing trembled, and when they looked at Joseph again, they already wanted to eat him alive.
Joseph was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
"If something happens to my father, Joseph, I allow you to hire a lawyer, and I will hold you accountable through legal means. But I guarantee that you will die in an ugly way!" Jack said expressionlessly.
The importance of old Mr. Xavier to the Xavier Family was self-evident.
The current Xavier family could still remain the number one family in South City because old Mr. Xavier was still here. If anything happened to him, the blow to the Xavier Family would be unprecedented.
South Town's Mr. Jack always meant what he said.
When Joseph heard the sound, his brain went blank. After a while, he seemed to remember something and quickly argued, "Master Xavier, I, I, am actually innocent. This responsibility cannot be entirely on my head."
"If it's not on your head, could it be on our Xavier Family's head?" Benjamin said angrily.
Joseph was trembling. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said anxiously, "Actually, the responsibility for this matter should be borne by my niece-in-law!"
"Your niece-in-law?"
"Yes, yes, I actually do not know how to do this last injection. It was my niece-in-law who taught me to do this." Joseph said hurriedly, "When it comes to responsibility, you should look for him. I am innocent!”
Hearing this, the Xavier family was extremely angry.
Andrew was stunned and murmured to himself, "Is it Michael Leach?"
"Is he also a Chinese medicine practitioner?" Jack asked.
"I think so?" Joseph lacked confidence.
"Call the Scarlett Family and tell the niece-in-law to come over. If something goes wrong with my father, no one involved will be able to escape!" Jack tilted his head and said.
"Okay." The person next to him ran away.
When Andrew heard the sound, the corner of his mouth was raised and he said nothing.
Maybe Michael knew Joshua, but now the Xavier Family wanted to deal with him, and he had no obligation to come forward.
"Michael, wish yourself good luck!" Andrew secretly laughed.
Joshua asked with a strange look on his face, "What are you doing? I didn't say that Anthony Xavier was hopeless."
"What?"
"Grandpa Quincey, can my grandfather be saved?"
Harper and others asked hurriedly.
"I can't save him, but I met an old friend here. I think with his medical skills, I should be able to cure Anthony Xavier." Joshua said with a smile.
"Really?" Jack stepped forward excitedly.
"Of course." Joshua Quincey stroked his beard and smiled.
As soon as this was said, the Xavier family was overjoyed.
Joseph was also stunned for a moment and then breathed a sigh of relief.
If old Mr. Xavier can survive, then he can at least escape the worst.
But punishment was inevitable.
A family like the Xavier family was not that magnanimous.
"Master Quincey, where is your old friend? I will arrange for my car to pick him up immediately!" Jack said hurriedly.
"No rush, actually I don't know where he is. I just ran into him. I guess he is either in South Town or Josebatt City. Wait for me to call him."
Joshua smiled and walked to the side with his mobile phone.
Jack breathed a sigh of relief, but the anger under his glasses had not dissipated.
"If the old man can recover, I will ask Joseph Scarlett and his niece-in-law to serve the old man in the next two days!"
"Dad, we have already sent someone to the Scarlett Family."
"Good!"
The old house of the Scarlett family.
When Christopher said this, Isabella was so shocked that she froze on the spot.
The Scarlett family members were either silent or sneered, and some spoke out in support of Christopher on the spot.
Compared with Michael, Joseph's value was obviously much smaller, not to mention that Joseph was the old madam's most beloved son, and Michael was her disgusted grandson-in-law. It was clear at a glance how to measure.
Old Mrs. Scarlett thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Christopher is right, Michael, you are indeed responsible for this matter, and you are the main responsibility."
"Grandma!" Isabella was anxious.
But old Mrs. Scarlett raised her hand to stop her remarks.
"Old Mrs. Scarlett, what do you want me to do?" Michael asked expressionlessly.
He didn't even call her grandma.
He was very disappointed with the Scarlett Family.
In the past, when he pretended to be useless, the Scarlett family sneered at him, but he could bear it. After all, he seemed incompetent at that time.
Because of him, Isabella could not marry into the Moore family, and the Scarlett family could not climb the big tree of the Moore family.
Based on these, whether the Scarlett family ridiculed him or abused him, he would endure it.
But now!
The Scarlett family's actions went too far.
They had completely disregarded family ties!
They only had interests and only wanted to protect themselves!
Michael, he didn't want to endure it anymore!
Old Mrs. Scarlett was not angry. She stood up, looked at Michael seriously, and said, "My child, Grandma knows that your previous actions were all out of good intentions and to save Grandma, but if you make a mistake, you are wrong. This matter can't be changed. If it weren't for you, your Uncle Joseph wouldn't be like this, so Grandma hopes that you can go to the Xavier Family and take all the responsibilities in exchange for your Uncle Joseph, do you understand?"
"No!"
Isabella shouted out almost immediately.
She doesn't love Michael!
But!
Michael was her husband after all!
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Michael also spoke up.
"Okay! I'll bring Joseph Scarlett back!"
The Scarlett family was all stunned.
Did he agree so forthright?
"Really?" old Mrs. Scarlett was also very surprised.
"Of course it's true," Michael said again, his voice was cold.
"But from now on, I won't owe you anything to the Scarlett Family. Do you understand?"
