Jonathan finally arrived in Pegasus City. He was quite astonished to see the towering high-rise buildings and the cacophony of honking horns. The aroma of food teased his hungry stomach.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Jonathan stood stiffly at a crossroads, torn between finding the address of the Buana family or looking for food first. But before he could take a step, a crowd of people caught his attention.

He stared in the direction of the crowd forming a large circle.

In the middle of the road, a middle-aged man was convulsing, foam coming from his mouth. The atmosphere was panicked. People just watched and exclaimed, not knowing what to do.

Then, a handsome young man appeared, dressed neatly and wearing a shiny gold name tag.

"I'm Doctor Alexander from Pegasus City Affiliated Hospital," he said.

Upon hearing there was a doctor, the crowd made way to facilitate treatment.

Alexander was incredibly confident; he took out a syringe and injected the dying patient.

Jonathan, who was observing, shook his head slowly. "Wrong meridian, and the medicine isn't suitable either."

But when he said this, a woman looked at him scornfully. "You're not a doctor. Really, life must be uncomfortable if you don't comment on others," she said mockingly.

A young man also taunted him. "Which bum is this pretending to know everything?"

Doctor Alexander, who heard this, turned his head after finishing and looked Jonathan up and down. His clothes were simple, his hair was disheveled, and his bag only contained a strange package. He was clearly a nobody.

"What do you know?" Alexander sneered. "This is a professional matter. Don't interfere. Go away, go beg somewhere else!" he said, waving his hand.

The people around laughed upon hearing Doctor Alexander's words aimed at Jonathan. They seemed to agree. They hurriedly joined in, waving their hands to shoo him away.

Jonathan ignored the impolite mouths around him. "The method you used is indeed wrong, and what I said is correct," he said confidently.

Alexander puffed out his chest proudly and said, "I am a doctor from Pegasus City Affiliated Hospital. If I can't cure him, then my title as a Doctor is worthless. I handle things like this all the time. Look, he's already cured."

The man's convulsions stopped, and the people immediately praised Doctor Alexander as a great doctor.

"Yes. Do you see that? Open your eyes wide." Someone spoke, and it was quite hurtful to hear.

Alexander looked at Jonathan with disgust. How could someone dressed in rags dare to criticize him? "And you? Can you cure him? You can only comment, right?"

The people around also looked at Jonathan with contemptuous gazes. To be able to enter Pegasus City Affiliated Hospital, one must have an extraordinary educational background and ability. Yet, Jonathan looked more like a homeless person.

"Me? Of course I can!" Jonathan replied casually.

"Tch. What, are you a god? If you say 'can,' then you can? It's not that easy. You should get a higher education to be smarter," Alexander continued to mock and taunt him, not forgetting to point to his own head.

Even though he was being driven away and ridiculed, Jonathan remained calm.

He walked leisurely, ordered some food, and said to Alexander, loud enough for everyone to hear, "That patient will vomit in one minute, and his convulsions will get worse."

He was actually on his way to propose to the Buana family, but after witnessing this incident, he decided to help. His master had once said, "Saving a life will make you remembered."

Whereas this doctor didn't seem to have the ability to save anyone.

He wondered how this guy even got his Doctor title.Jonathan was perplexed.

Jonathan paid no mind and began to enjoy the breakfast that had arrived on his table.

Just as Alexander was basking in the praise, the patient's body suddenly arched violently, he vomited profusely in all directions, and his heart stopped beating.

The people around immediately panicked.

Jonathan still looked calm, as if he had known this would happen.

Alexander began to panic. He had actually gotten into Pegasus City Affiliated Hospital through backdoor channels, and he had wanted to show off his skills here, but instead made the situation worse. If this were investigated, his job could be in jeopardy.

Doctor Alexander suddenly turned pale. He glanced left and right, then shamelessly approached Jonathan. "There's no other way, I have to use him as the scapegoat for this problem," he muttered to himself.

"You said earlier you knew how to treat him, right? Prove it now if you really can."

Jonathan, calmly sipping hot tea from a small roadside stall, turned his head with a lazy smile. "Earlier you insulted me, and now even when asking for help you speak like that. Do you think I'm someone easy to use as a scapegoat?" he stated firmly.

The crowd was stunned to hear Jonathan's refusal. Some even said Jonathan was just a arrogant bum. "Given a chance to treat someone, and he doesn't even know how to be grateful."

Doctor Alexander gritted his teeth and immediately said, "As long as the patient can be saved, I'll pay whatever f*e you ask for."

Jonathan did need money to buy things for his proposal to the Buana family, so he immediately said, "20 million," short and concise.

"He's really crazy, charging an unreasonable price even for helping someone." Again, voices of condemnation came.

But Alexander immediately agreed. "As long as he can be saved, never mind 20 million, even 200 million is no problem." Although his mouth said this, in his heart he still didn't believe Jonathan could cure the patient. How could he lose to a homeless person? But most importantly this time, his reputation would remain intact if Jonathan failed. A sly smile spread across his face.

Amidst the crowd, an old man dressed simply watched Jonathan with narrowed eyes. Beside him, a young woman in a blue dress looked on hopefully. "We should leave here."

"Let's wait a little longer. Who knows, he might really be able to save that man," the woman wanted to stay and watch. "If he can really do it, maybe Grandfather can be cured too."

But the old man thought the woman was foolish. He said, "If that person really had the ability, how could his life possibly be like this."

    Jonathan looked at Winny with slight surprise. He had not expected her to offer him an investment of twenty billion, especially when the Caresta Family was not asking for any shares or even a portion of the profits. An offer like that was not something one came across every day, even for someone with extraordinary abilities.“Miss Winny, don't you think your offer is a little too generous toward me?” Jonathan leaned back in his chair with a faint smile. “The Caresta Family is willing to provide twenty billion, yet you don't want any shares and have no intention of interfering with the company's management. What exactly do you expect from me?”Winny smiled calmly. She had already anticipated that Jonathan would ask such a question. After all, an intelligent person would not accept such a generous offer without understanding the reasons behind it.“Jonathan, you don't need to be so suspicious. The Caresta Family may be wealthy, but we wouldn't carelessly spend money on someone we don't

    Jonathan smiled and shook his head when Winny offered to take him home.“No need, Miss Winny. I can go home by myself. Besides, I don't live too far from here.”However, Winny did not give up immediately. She looked at Jonathan seriously before saying, “Actually, there is something I want to talk to you about.”Jonathan raised an eyebrow slightly.“Then just tell me now. We still have some time before I go home.”Winny fell silent for a moment before glancing around. After making sure that no one was standing too close, she said, “I want to talk about it later tonight. Somewhere private.”As soon as she heard those words, Amelia, who was standing not far from them, immediately fell silent. A look of surprise appeared on her face.“Why does it have to be somewhere private?” she asked instinctively.Winny immediately realized that her words had sounded strange. Her face turned slightly red as she quickly explained, “It's not what you think. I mean, the matter I want to discuss is quite

    Inside the banquet hall, the atmosphere gradually became lively again after the incident with the Buana Family came to an end. The guests began enjoying the dishes that had been prepared. Some chatted while raising their glasses, while others still occasionally glanced toward Jonathan. After all, the young man had been the center of attention since the beginning of the party.At that moment, Master Anderson sat not far from Jonathan and began talking with him. Lius, who happened to be nearby, was immediately surprised when he heard their conversation.“Master Anderson, you two know each other?” Lius asked with a look of astonishment.All this time, he had known that Master Anderson was one of his grandfather's close friends. However, he had never expected that the old man also knew Jonathan.Master Anderson chuckled and nodded.“Of course. I met him in Antique City. At first, I thought he was just an ordinary young man who happened to come by to look around. However, after seeing the

    Roselin and Yorgi's faces immediately turned pale. Both of them stood stiffly as the gazes of the surrounding guests felt like dozens of needles piercing their skin. The Buana Family was one of the major families in Pegasus City. For years, they had always maintained the family's reputation and dignity. Yet today, in front of so many important figures, they had been humiliated and even thrown out of the Caresta Family's banquet.Yorgi took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger that was almost exploding in his chest. He then forced a smile and said, “Miss Winny, I think there has been a slight misunderstanding here. You must be joking. I came to this party with good intentions. I only wanted to congratulate Old Master Caresta. As a guest who came all this way, wouldn't it be rather inappropriate to simply throw me out?”Winny looked at him expressionlessly. “I am not joking.”The smile on Yorgi's face immediately froze.Winny continued coldly, “I have already said what I want.

    Roselin was still standing with her arms folded across her chest. Although her face looked calm, deep down, she was extremely confident in what she had said. In her opinion, even if Jonathan had truly managed to cure Mr. Caresta, it would not change the fact that Jonathan was merely a poor man with no clear background. In her mind, everyone was making too much of it simply because Jonathan had managed to demonstrate some ability. “What exactly are they thinking?” Roselin muttered loudly enough to be heard. “Just because he managed to cure Mr. Caresta, do they really think the Caresta Family will regard him as their savior? He is still a poor man. He has no power, no influential family, and no status whatsoever in Pegasus City.” Her voice was loud enough to make several guests nearby turn their heads. However, Roselin did not notice. She still believed that she was in the right. At that moment, the doors to the hall opened once again. Mr. Caresta entered the banquet hall with Lius

    Roselin turned her head, arms folded across her chest, a sneer etched on her face. "That was just a fluke, Grandpa. It was just a coincidence that he managed to please Master Anderson before. But his real ability? Huh, absolutely zero." Yorgi nodded slowly. Roselin's answer didn't entirely convince him, but it was enough to slightly soothe the simmering frustration in his chest. Roselin's eyes landed on Amelia, who was sitting beside Jonathan. The girl was laughing softly, looking comfortable. Jonathan even calmly reached for a napkin and casually wiped the corner of Amelia's mouth; the movement looked so natural and gentle. As if the two were already accustomed to such closeness. For some reason, Roselin immediately felt a surge of heat rise in her chest. Her eyes narrowed. "Since when are they that close?" she muttered angrily. She still didn't understand why a man like Jonathan could make a girl as graceful as Amelia feel so at ease. Her heart couldn't accept it. Even though she
