Chapter 655
Adam stood tall, his posture radiating confidence and authority. “I am a reclusive healer,” he said calmly, his voice carrying the weight of experience. “Few in the outside world know my name, and even fewer have ever witnessed my skills firsthand.”Julian leaned forward, curiosity and skepticism warring in his eyes. “How does your medical skill compare to that of Alexander the legendary healer?” he asked, his tone cautious. He had heard of the legendary healer and wondered if Adam’s reputation was genuine.Adam’s eyes glimmered as he gestured toward the wooden sign he carried. “‘Surpasses even Alexander and Jonas Salk; revives the dead and heals the gravest wounds.’ Can’t you see it written there? I do not boast without reason. There is no illness I cannot cure, only prices that some people cannot afford.”Julian’s lips curled into a skeptical sneer. “You boast greatly. Bold words often belong to charlatans,” he said, his doubt evident.Adam’s lips mirrored Julian’s sneer, but it was

Hearing this, Ferguson felt a surge of rage rush straight to his head. His vision darkened, and he almost spat out blood on the spot. With great effort, he suppressed his fury and forced a stiff smile onto his swollen face.“Mr. Marlowe wants you to treat his illness,” Ferguson said through clenched teeth. “If you can cure him, we can forget everything that happened earlier. The Marlowe family will also give you a generous reward.”“Oh?” Adam raised his brows as if only just realizing the situation. A faint, amused smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “So now you need my help.”He paused deliberately, letting the words sink in before continuing slowly, “I’ll treat him—but only if you show enough sincerity first.”Ferguson straightened his back instinctively, arrogance creeping into his tone. “Name your price.”Adam shook his head lightly. “It’s not about money.”He leaned back slightly and looked at Ferguson with cold amusement. “You angered me earlier. I’m in a bad mood. Kneel do

“Mr. Marlowe, you must stand up for me!” Ferguson wailed the moment he opened his mouth.In Julian’s eyes, the usually arrogant and domineering butler now looked like a bullied child who had run home crying to his parents. Tears streamed down Ferguson’s swollen face, mixing with blood and saliva, making him look even more pitiful.Julian frowned deeply, irritation flashing across his face. “You’re a grown man. Stop crying and speak properly,” he snapped impatiently, tapping his cane against the floor.Ferguson hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve, though his hands were still trembling. “Mr. Marlowe, I went exactly as instructed—to invite that so-called wandering healer. Who would’ve thought that old geezer would be so arrogant? The moment I approached him, he slapped me without warning!”He paused, deliberately sniffing as if suppressing fresh tears, then continued embellishing the story. “I couldn’t let the Marlowe family’s dignity be trampled on like that, so I tried to teach h

Ferguson spun around and tried to bolt, but before he could take two steps, a powerful hand clamped onto the back of his neck like an iron vise.His whole body stiffened.No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t muster even a shred of strength. It felt as though his neck was being pinned by a mountain, cutting off both his balance and his pride.“I—I’m the butler of the Marlowe family,” Ferguson said through clenched teeth, forcing himself to sound calm despite the panic surging in his chest. “You’d better let me go immediately, or the consequences will be severe.”“Oh, don’t worry,” Adam replied leisurely, the smile on his face growing even brighter. “I’ll definitely let you go.”Those words should have been reassuring.Instead, they made Ferguson’s heart sink.Before he could react, Adam raised his hand.Ferguson’s eyes widened with fear and fury. He opened his mouth to threaten, to curse, to invoke the Marlowe family’s name again—but the words never came out.Smack!A crisp sla

At Ferguson’s command, the warriors of the Marlowe family surged forward like a pack of wolves.Their expressions were vicious, eyes cold and merciless, each of them radiating a murderous aura honed through years of fighting. They had followed Ferguson around long enough to know his temper. Anyone who humiliated him would not be allowed to walk away intact.The sudden commotion quickly drew the attention of passersby.People stopped at a distance, whispering among themselves as they recognized the Marlowe family’s uniforms. Some shook their heads in pity as their gazes fell upon Adam. In Coastal Flair, offending the Marlowe family was practically a death sentence.No one knew what had happened, but that didn’t matter. The Marlowe family throwing their weight around was nothing new.Even if someone wanted to help, they didn’t dare. Reporting it to the authorities was unthinkable. Who would be foolish enough to offend the most powerful family in Coastal Flair for the sake of a stranger?
Chapter 650
He had attempted suicide more than once, but every attempt ended in failure.Lazarus had long anticipated Julian’s fragile mental state and had stationed people to watch him day and night. Even when Julian slept, someone stood guard outside his door. The reason was cruel yet practical—to keep him alive long enough to restore his manhood and ensure the continuation of the Marlowe bloodline.The Marlowe family was not lacking in descendants, but Lazarus himself had only one son and one daughter. In a large aristocratic family, daughters were ultimately considered outsiders once they married. The responsibility of carrying on the family name inevitably fell upon the son.Julian.Yet after consulting countless renowned physicians and miraculous healers, all of them had reached the same conclusion—his condition was incurable.Over time, Julian had fallen into despair.Now, however, the sudden appearance of a wandering healer capable of curing the incurable ignited a faint spark of hope wit
