"Wha...?" For the first time, the cold look on Hikaru’s face changed to surprise.

She stared at the corpse and Tony with a look of disbelief.

"How did you tell it without touching the corpse?" Hikaru asked with disbelief.

"What do you mean? I am a doctor, whether you believe it or not," Tony said with a proud smirk.

Hikaru was silent for a minute as she thought about how Tony gave the exact answer.

Even after a long time, she couldn’t come to any possible conclusion. So, she directly brought another corpse and placed it on the table.

"Tell me, how did she die?" she asked urgently.

"Blockage of blood to the heart... possibly due to a low-level martial technique," Tony said without even looking at the corpse for long.

Again, Hikaru was stunned. At first, she had brought a more complex body for Tony to examine, but he answered directly without any hint of doubt.

She moved again to bring another corpse.

But before she could remove it, Tony held her hand.

"Kidney is broken. Someone might have punched him in the back with the Skyward Fist technique."

While holding her hand, he continued dragging her along the line of corpses, explaining how each one died without taking more than five seconds.

Hikaru was completely dumbfounded as she stared at Tony with her mouth slightly open. She had completely forgotten that Tony was holding her hand like a lover while dragging her among the corpses.

She felt like her world was turning upside down.

"Even I am not able to tell this exactly... Is he more skilled than me by any chance? Only a level seven doctor could do this stunt... but him... that’s impossible," Hikaru thought, as she began to feel nervous.

She finally stopped moving after the thirteenth corpse.

Tony stopped as well when he felt resistance from her hand and turned around.

"There is no need to see more. I agree that you are a doctor," Hikaru said reluctantly.

"Now you realize...? That’s good. Then go and tell the Peak Master to give me a room. I want to treat patients," Tony said casually.

But Hikaru stood silently, unable to decide what to do.

Her hand was still in Tony’s grip, and he was silently taking her pulse.

Hikaru didn’t understand whether she should go and ask for a room for Tony. She felt he deserved his own doctor’s room after seeing his skills, but remembering his reputation made her hesitate.

"What’s the problem? If you still don’t believe me, give me more tests. I will prove my skill," Tony said while staring at the silent Hikaru.

But she remained in a trance, staring at the floor with doubt and confusion.

"I... I couldn’t..." Hikaru tried to speak, but she couldn’t finish her sentence.

"What do you mean you couldn’t? If you still don’t believe me, I can even cure your Moon Goddess curse!"

"- -"

Hikaru’s body shuddered in fear after hearing about the Moon Goddess curse from Tony’s mouth.

She lifted her gaze and stared at Tony with complete shock and astonishment.

Silence filled the room... Utter silence.

Hikaru felt like her mind had exploded.

The Moon Goddess curse was not known to any outsiders, including male members of her own family.

Hikaru Luna— that was her full name. She belonged to the Luna family, which was popularly known as the Moon Goddess family of Japan.

Unlike other rich families, the Luna family had a strong advantage. They possessed a peak sky-rank martial technique— the Moon Goddess Breathing Technique. Only female members of the family were allowed to practice it. It allowed them to gain martial strength rapidly during night cultivation under moonlight.

However, it had a major drawback. During the day, they experience an itching sensation all over their body, which they managed using herbs and medical solutions.

But there was no complete cure. The itching became more intense and painful on a no-moon day.

This was the Luna family’s most guarded secret. Outsiders knew nothing about this drawback. Otherwise, many would have created elixirs to counter the Moon Goddess lineage.

That was why Hikaru was utterly shocked when Tony mentioned the moon-goddess-curse.

Unknowingly, a dagger appeared in Hikaru’s left hand.

"What? You want to kill me for finding your sickness?" Tony asked with the same cold smile after noticing the dagger.

"How do you know about the Moon Goddess sickness? Tell me the truth. Don’t play tricks," Hikaru demanded coldly as she tightened her grip on the dagger.

"What do you mean, how do I know? Just now I held your hand and took your pulse. I can clearly sense the itching beneath your skin, which is definitely from the Moon Goddess condition. If I am not wrong, on a no-moon day you feel more pain, and this itching drives you crazy. So, tell me, am I right?" Tony said with a confident-smile.

Hikaru was shocked to see Tony still smiling without any fear, even with a dagger pointed at him. She couldn’t understand where his confidence came from.

She hesitated. Killing Tony might be easy, but dealing with the Clark family would not be. Sooner or later, the truth would come out. That’s why she held back. If not for Tony’s background, she might have already killed him.

"Tony, don’t speak nonsense. Even Peak Master Natasha couldn’t identify this condition. This is the most guarded secret of my Luna family. Speak the truth, or I won’t be able to stop myself," Hikaru threatened while staring at him with anger.

"First of all, you won’t be able to kill me with that tiny dagger. I am stronger than you think.

Second, my healing ability is above your level. That’s why I was able to detect the Moon Goddess condition just by taking your pulse.

Now you have only one option. If you agree, I will treat you. Otherwise, we both forget this matter," Tony said with a loud yawn.

Hikaru stood silently for a long time, unable to decide. Finally, she concluded that she couldn’t kill Tony without consequences, so she pulled the dagger back into her storage ring.

"Tell me, how are you going to treat me?" Hikaru asked, folding her arms across her chest.

Now she wanted to understand how much Tony truly knew about the Moon Goddess curse.

"It is very simple. With a basic massage, I can reduce the itching sensation under your skin. But if you want to remove it completely, I must treat you on a no-moon day when your body is at its weakest.

As for the exact healing process, it’s complicated. It involves activating multiple pressure points. My method is different from yours," Tony said calmly, deliberately not revealing the full truth, knowing she wouldn’t believe him anyway.
