After Miranda and Peony left the Reeds’ villa on Cloud Hill, Bill and Kate quickly sped to Thirteen Hill in their car.

This time, they did not bring their bodyguards. They were the only two going there, and they swore that they would get Clarence back to the villa to treat Roger.

Half an hour later, a black Hummer stopped in front of the entrance of Thirteen Hall. Once the siblings got out of the car, they rushed into Thirteen Hall. They quickly apologized to Clarence. Kate said, “Master Howard, we were wrong. The diagnosis you gave our father was the same as what Dr. Lorenz’s team eventually came up with. It was exactly the same.

“I’m apologizing for my impulsiveness and my faults. Please, I really hope you can save my father.”

“Master Howard, I know I’ve made mistakes too. You’re a forgiving person, so please, you have to forgive us,” Bill continued.

The siblings looked sincere. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

If Clarence did not agree to it, they would kneel there until they died.

Roger’s condition seemed to get worse as time went on.

Lorenz had even said if Roger did not get any effective treatment, he would be paralyzed in three months.

Once Roger was out of commission, the entire family would have a temporary deficit in manpower. How would Bill and Kate manage the entire Martial Arts Association?

Their rivals would all attack them simultaneously, reducing the Reeds to being crushed into fine powder.

Roger could not be out of commission, and he could not die.

Once Roger died, the Reeds would definitely be destroyed. Their precious glory and prestige would all be gone in just a snap of a finger.

Clarence asked Master Williams to take out a bag of silver needles from behind the counter. “Since you came here to beg me, come, let’s go.” 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

“Huh?”

Bill and Kate were dumbfounded.

They had thought Clarence would have made things difficult for them.

No matter how horrible the things Clarence might have said to them or however over-the-top the requests he might have made were, the siblings would have accepted unconditionally.

They had been willing to give Clarence money, power, women, and status, if he had asked for them.

They really had not expected Clarence to agree on the spot to treat Roger and not even ask for anything in return.

“What’s wrong?” Clarence looked at the motionless siblings curiously.

Bill looked at Clarence in surprise. “Master Howard, you… Aren’t you mad at us for how we treated you before?

“I won’t say anything about it if you want to hit me or scold me. I am okay with anything as long as you’re not mad at us anymore.”

Clarence shook his head with a smile. “Kate caused me trouble because she’s suffered some grievances and she’s angry. You brought those people here because you wanted to avenge your sister. You didn’t come here to cause trouble on purpose.

“You humbled yourself to beg me now, and it’s all for the sake of your father’s condition. You didn’t make threats or promises. With your status, it would be much easier to utilize threats and promises, rather than begging me. However, you didn’t choose to use your fists or pressure me with your authority. Instead, you came here to beg me.

“That means you’re not a bad person. Since you’re not a bad person and you’re filial, why would I make things difficult for you?”

Bill and Kate’s faces turned red as they listened to Clarence’s words.

Bill ran to Clarence and put his hands together. Then, he bowed and said, “Your words have made me feel so ashamed of myself. You’re so magnanimous, and I feel so embarrassed in return. From now on, whether you manage to cure my father or not, I’ll help you out no matter what troubles you’re facing in Mediterranean City.”

Kate had a serious look on her face as well. “I won’t cause trouble for you anymore.”

Clarence shook his head and smiled. He did not say anything as he walked out of Thirteen Hall.

Bill and Kate quickly followed him.

Half an hour later, Clarence arrived at the Reeds’ villa in Cloud Hill. Dr. Lorenz was still there.

When Clarence was asked to come inside to the living room, everyone looked at him.

Lorenz walked over to look at Clarence solemnly. “How did you know about his condition? We only discovered his condition after our precise equipment analyzed his data for an hour. You knew after merely looking at him?”

Lorenz yelled, sounding as if he was giving Clarence orders when he asked, “What is going on? Tell me!”

Clarence looked at him. “Alternative medicine has been around for more than a thousand years. How could I explain it to you in just a few sentences?”

Lorenz scoffed and looked disdainful. “More than a thousand years? Those are just indigenous methods, and there’s no scientific proof that they work. If I can’t cure Mr. Reed, a doctor like you from the East wouldn’t be able to cure him either!”

Lorenz pressed his lips together. “I didn’t leave because I want to see you fail. At the same time, I want to prove to everyone that this isn’t a shortcoming of mine and that Mr. Reed’s condition is truly incurable.”

Clarence laughed. “Incurable? Is everything you can’t cure an incurable disease?”

Lorenz looked proud. “Of course! My medical laboratory is the best in the world. The heads of major consortia around the world and even high officials in some countries often invite me and my medical team to treat their illnesses. If I can’t cure him, you wouldn’t be able to cure him either, let alone use medicine from the East to do it. Medicine from the East is just a scam, and you’re a liar!”

Lorenz sounded confident. His tone was laced with hostility.

He did not believe that Clarence would be able to cure the disease he and his team could not cure.

Clarence shook his head in amusement. “If I’m a liar, then you’re even worse than a liar.”

“Hehe, just as your people always say, you’re ‘as stubborn as a mule’.” Lorenz chuckled mockingly. Making use of his height advantage, he towered over Clarence. “If you have the balls, cure Mr. Reed in front of me.”

Clarence was calm. “Not only can I cure him, but I can also make him stand up again. Not only can I make him stand up, but I can also make him jump. Well, actually, what’s jumping when I can make him run? I can make him run as fast as the wind.”

“Hahahaha!” Lorenze laughed so hard that his eyes teared up. “How hilarious. You’re too witty, I can’t beat you there. However, if you really can make him stand again, I’ll kneel in front of you. If you can make him jump, I’ll kowtow three times to you. If he can run as fast as the wind, not only will I kneel and kowtow to you, I’ll even become your disciple. From then on, I won’t practice Western medicine anymore, and I’ll only learn about Eastern medicine from you. You can use my entire medical team as well as my resources whenever and however you want.”

Clarence smiled. “As you wish.”

He did not say anything more as he walked to Roger.

He grabbed Roger’s legs and started using his silver needles.

He stabbed the needles into Roger’s acupoints in one go.

“Ugh.”

Roger grunted.

Then, under everyone’s surprised gaze, he stood up.

“Dad!”

“You’re cured? You can stand!”

Bill and Kate were shocked and surprised.

Lorenz’s team froze. They stared at the scene with wide eyes. Their eyes were so wide that it looked as if their pupils were about to pop out of their sockets.

How could this be possible?

Roger was going to be paralyzed since the nerves of his vertebra had already undergone necrosis. It should have been impossible for him to stand!

They had never imagined that Clarence would have such skill.

“Kneel!”

Clarence turned his head and roared at Lorenz, “This is for disrespecting me!”

Lorenz shivered in fright and knelt in front of everyone.

Clarence continued, stabbing two more needles into Roger’s thighs.

Roger felt his body turning hot. Soon, he started jumping around like a monkey.

“Kowtow!”

Clarence roared again, “This is your punishment for looking down on Eastern medicine!”

Lorenz was dumbfounded. His pupils contracted.

Clarence executed his last move. He stabbed his needles into Roger’s chest, his ground acupoint, energy acupoint, fundamental acupoint, and horizon acupoint.

Roger trembled. He suddenly felt as if a fire had been set under his bottom. He began running around outside the villa as swiftly as a gust of wind.

Clarence turned around for the last time, looking at Lorenz coldly. “He’s running like the wind.. Hurry up, kowtow and beg me to take you in as my disciple.”
