*****Across from him, Williams noticed Jason's trembling figure, and a smug grin immediately spread across his face.‘Looks like I struck exactly where it hurts,’ he thought to himself, the satisfaction in his eyes becoming even more obvious.Beside him, Alex and Christopher quietly exchanged glances.Neither needed to say a word. Their twitching lips and amused expressions already revealed what they were thinking.‘Uncle is really panicked.’The brothers looked back toward Jason, and instantly, their confidence shot straight toward the roof.This time, there wasn't the slightest hesitation left in their eyes."Are you angry, Uncle?" Alex asked with an expression overflowing with fake concern. "Father is only looking out for you."His lips almost curled upward as he spoke, the hypocrisy so obvious that anyone paying close attention could practically smell it.Christopher immediately nodded in agreement."That's right, Uncle." He wore the expression of a devoted nephew sincerely worri

*****"I still have better things to do than stand here witnessing these shenanigans.”The voice wasn't loud or filled with rage, yet somehow... it directly silenced the entire room.Williams' heartbeat skipped at once, Christopher stiffened, Alex unconsciously swallowed, Rose's delicate frame trembled, and even Sir Alfred's expression changed dramatically.Without thinking, all five of them instinctively turned toward the speaker.Standing exactly where he had been from the beginning… was the Revival Sage.His hands remained calmly behind his back, his posture remained dignified, and his white robes still fluttered ever so slightly.There was no anger or visible disappointment on his face.Only a faint frown.On an ordinary person, such a tiny expression would have been completely unremarkable, and most people wouldn't even have paid it the slightest attention.But seeing it on the Revival Sage… the atmosphere became instantly suffocating, leaving no one able to react for a moment.T

*****The atmosphere in the chamber stretched on for what felt like an eternity before Williams finally returned, followed closely by three maids.The first maid carefully carried a porcelain bowl filled with steaming water.The second held an elegant bronze herbal cooking pot, from which a rich medicinal fragrance slowly drifted into the room.The third walked cautiously behind them, holding a silver tray supporting a royal-looking porcelain cup decorated with intricate golden patterns.After the three women respectfully placed everything where the Revival Sage indicated, they immediately stepped back.The Revival Sage calmly picked up several acupuncture needles before lowering them into the steaming water.After letting the needles soak for a short while, he picked up the porcelain cup and carefully poured in enough of the herbal decoction to fill it about a quarter of the way.The bitter aroma instantly spread throughout the chamber.“Make sure he spills nothing,” the elderly physi

*****At this moment, Sir Alfred no longer looked like an elderly bodyguard. He appeared like a veteran warrior who had stepped out from a battlefield soaked in blood.He couldn’t believe that someone had actually dared to interfere with his master’s treatment at such a critical moment.However, Sir Alfred wasn’t the only person consumed by fury right now.“The speaker wants to see a Death Sage, right?” Christopher roared, his face flushed crimson with anger. “Come out now and meet him!”His voice boomed throughout the chamber like a cannon blast.Immediately, every gaze began to sweep through the room.For a moment, the entire chamber resembled a pack of predators hunting for prey, each person scanning every corner, seemingly searching for a hidden enemy they were prepared to tear apart the moment they found it.Only Jason remained rooted in place.His expression looked so strange that it was difficult to describe.Meanwhile, everyone else continued searching.Yet after thoroughly ex

*****Jason’s face remained composed, and his expression remained unchanged even in the face of the conspiracy.Yet beneath the bed, hidden from everyone's view, his hands had already clenched into fists so tight that his knuckles had turned completely white.Thick veins bulged along the backs of his hands, standing out like twisted cords beneath his skin.The fury raging through him had already reached astonishing heights, so intense that he appeared as though he could erupt at any moment… as though one more word would be enough to ignite the entire chamber.Yet he remained silent... not because he couldn't defend himself, nor because he felt intimidated.No.No matter how calm and peace-making a person was, nobody could remain indifferent after being accused of sabotaging their own father's treatment.Such an allegation wasn't merely an insult.It was character assassination, a blade aimed directly at his reputation, and a stain cast upon his conscience.It was the sort of accusatio
