Chapter 16: On gambling

Words : 1923 Updated : Nov 24th, 2024

The aura of an emperor? With colors of five elements, all turning into dragons and tigers? Oh my goodness, what kind of momentum is this, and what a splendid presence? Everyone was utterly stunned. After a while, Jephthah Harrison suddenly turned his head, his face full of anticipation, and said, "So, Dr. Harrison, can you see what kind of aura I have? Is there any phenomenon?" "..." Fabricio almost couldn't help rolling his eyes at him. What do you think a phenomenon is? A cabbage? Speaking frankly, those who exhibit unusual phenomena are extremely rare; there might not even be one in a million people. Why do you think you're so special? However, since this guy had become his client, Fabricio felt the need to be polite. So, he tactfully said, "Qi-observing method should not be used casually. There's a saying, 'Don't divine unless there's a reason; divining without a reason brings calamity. Good intentions can easily turn into bad outcomes.'" "There's such a saying..." Jephthah didn't doubt it, but shook his head with some regret. Davey, on the other hand, had been in a state of confusion the whole time. Not only can Fabricio practice medicine, but he can also read Qi-observing method? When did he become so formidable? No matter how he changed, he was still my little brother. The journey continued in silence. During this time, Graydon Zeigler wanted to remind Fabricio countless times to be careful. This time... it's actually not a good thing. But until the five of them arrived at the Public Hospital and entered the ICU ward, Jephthah never left Fabricio's side, making it impossible for him to find an opportunity to speak. In the end, he could only sigh softly and think to himself, "I just hope he... wakes up a bit." " Jephthah, you finally came back?" "Why did it take so long?" "Did the divine doctor arrive?" Jephthah waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to quiet down. Then he quickly said, "This is Dr. Harrison, the divine healer. Now, all of you, please leave. Don't disturb Dr. Harrison from treating my father." However, no one moved because everyone's attention was focused on Fabricio, their brows furrowed in confusion. Seeing this, Jephthah's face darkened. He was about to speak when his second uncle, Raiden Harrison, preemptively said, "Jephthah, is this the divine healer that Dean Zeigler mentioned? He's so young. Are you sure he can really do it?" "Yeah, Jephthah." His third uncle, Armel Harrison, echoed, "Treating an illness is not a joke. If others can't cure it and end up making your father's condition worse, what do we do then?" "Yeah, that's right." While these people were expressing concerns, someone else was more direct, saying, "Harve, what do you mean? Are you intentionally trying to fool us by bringing this inexperienced kid here because you don't want to get treatment for our uncle?" "Damn, are you kidding us?" Jephthah instantly erupted in anger upon hearing this. He sternly shouted, "All of you, shut up!" "..." At the scene, a sudden silence fell. No one expected his reaction to be so intense. After a long pause, Armel looked incredulous and said, "Jephthah, do you know what you're saying?" "Yeah, Jephthah, we're all here for the good of your father. How can you speak to us like this?" How can I? I'm on the verge of exploding. Do you know how much hardship and frustration I went through to bring him here? If you drive him away with your temper, can you bring him back for me later? Even if you can, can my father afford the delay? With a dark expression, Jephthah gritted his teeth and said, "You claim to be here for my father's good, do you think I would harm him?" "We know you wouldn't harm your father." Raiden frowned, discontent evident in his voice. "We're just worried that you've been deceived. Look at him..." "Enough, Second Uncle!" Jephthah, a mentally strong individual, wouldn't change his decision because of a few words from relatives. With a cold face, he said, word by word, "You all heard what the experts said before." "Now, I have only one question for you. Do you... have a better solution, or can you find a more reliable divine healer?" "This..." Raiden was momentarily speechless. However, facing the embarrassment of being challenged by his nephew in front of so many people, he couldn't let it slide. Feeling extremely displeased, he couldn't help retorting, "That's still better than your desperate attempt at a cure." "What do you mean..." Fabricio interrupted Jephthah, seemingly smiling as he looked at him and said, "What do you mean by a desperate attempt at a cure? How can you be so sure that I can't do it?" Faced with Jephthah, Raiden still showed some restraint, after all, he was the leader of the group. But this inexperienced kid in front of him... With a smirk, he disdainfully said, "Do you think treating illnesses and saving lives is a joke?" "Looking at your immature appearance, if you can cure anything beyond a common cold, I'll eat this table." "This is a steel table." Fabricio looked playful. "Are you sure you'll eat this table just because I can cure illnesses?" "Huh? You're getting confident, huh? Fine!" Raiden then pulled his son over, pointing at him and saying, "Perfect! My son hasn't been feeling well these past few days. I won't ask you to treat him, so you don't drag it out for days saying you can't cure him." "Just tell me what illness he has." "As long as you can say it, I'll immediately eat this table. But if you can't, then crawl out from here." "How about it? Do you dare or not?" "Second Uncle, you..." Jephthah was truly furious, but before he could finish speaking, Fabricio waved his hand again, interrupting him, and said, "Okay, this is what you said. In front of so many people, don't regret it!" "Don't waste my time." Raiden was truly irritated. He shouted loudly, "Hurry up and say it. If you can't, then get out!" In the crowd behind, Harve grinned, his face full of a sinister smile. Kid, dare to embarrass me? This time, let's see how you handle it. Qi-observing method? Hah! After studying medicine for eight years and working in the medical field for 38 years, he had never heard of such a thing. As for how this kid claimed to diagnose his problem? Harve didn't know, but he absolutely didn't believe it was some nonsense Qi-observing method, because if he believed it, wouldn't it overturn his beliefs? What made him even happier was that he was extremely familiar with this patient because not long ago, he had just examined him. Therefore, he was well aware of the patient's condition, and no one knew it better than him! "Kid, later, I want to see with my own eyes how you crawl out of here like a dog!" The rest of the Harrison family chose to remain silent. It's not that they weren't anxious. After all, it involved the life and death of the old master, and even the rise and fall of the entire Harrison family. Checking his abilities in advance was a good idea. Otherwise, letting him directly take action, if he failed, there wouldn't even be a chance for regret. Including Jephthah, who also didn't oppose anymore. One reason was that Fabricio had repeatedly interrupted his assistance, and secondly, it was also an opportunity to see his medical skills. How strong was he really? And that thing called "Qi-observing method," was it really so magical? Then, in the midst of their expectant gazes, Fabricio spoke. He calmly said, "He is poisoned." "Uh...???" What did he say? This kid, is he sick? When you're supposed to be examining him, you don't ask, don't use any instruments, and even without touching or feeling, you just say that Lavelle is poisoned? This is insane; jokes shouldn't be taken this far. However, before the Harrison family members could react, Harve jumped out first, laughing loudly, "Hahaha, a fraud! You are indeed a fraud. He clearly has abdominal pain, and you actually say he is poisoned? Graydon, did you see that? I said he's a fraud. Now, do you have anything else to say!?"
