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 simply looked at the old man and smiled. "I agree, you certainly know your fine goods."The old man nodded in satisfaction.Jeremy was dumbfounded. "What is this?" Jeremy was suspicious; he couldn't just stand by. "This must be a setup! You're colluding to scam the auction house. There's no way that shabby chamber pot is worth two billion."The old man frowned, then turned and fixed his gaze on Jeremy. "This transaction is between me and this young man. What business is it of yours? Besides, this chamber pot is genuine, and a price of 2 billion is not excessive."Jeremy stammered in response. "I just... I just don't want this Auction House to be fooled!"Roselin also felt this was just a cheap act and began to mock them. "He's right! And who are you anyway? Don't tell me you're a paid actor?""My name is Anderson Tju. I am Master Anderson. And as it happens, I arrived early because I wanted to look for inspiration."Master Anderson was a renowned antique expert.A bodyguard b

    Jeremy Bongso sat slumped in the leather chair, still nursing the pain in his ribs. Though it was only one blow, his pride felt utterly shattered. But he didn't dare act recklessly. Not without his bodyguards. Not after seeing the almost emotionless look in Jonathan's eyes.He's really not an ordinary person, Jeremy thought to himself, but his face remained cold, hiding his fear with arrogance. Later, outside, you will feel my revenge. For now, he chose not to act, as it could backfire on him.After nearly twenty minutes, the appraisal staff member returned. With an unfriendly face and a curt tone, he said, "I told you so. This item is fake. It's not worthy of being included in our auction house catalog."Jonathan was skeptical; he knew it was a valuable antique. He looked at the man calmly. "Did the staff member truly examine it properly?"The staff member tensed up, feeling doubted. He was clearly offended. "Are you questioning our professionalism?" he said angrily, slapping the app

    "Jonathan! Have you truly gone insane from being so poor?" Roselin looked at Jonathan with disgust and scornful laughter. "If you really need money, just say so. I still have a little pity, as long as you know your place."Jeremy laughed loudly while folding his arms across his chest. "If you're really that desperate for money, just tell me! I can give you Five Million. Consider it charity, since I've taken your ex-fiancée off your hands."Roselin turned quickly, her expression shifting slightly. Jeremy's words were indeed too vulgar. Even though she no longer respected Jonathan, she had still almost been engaged to him. However, because of Jeremy's powerful background as the heir to the Bongso family, she didn't dare contradict him. Instead, she forced an awkward smile.His remarks drew sneering smiles from some of the VIP guests.Jonathan stood calmly, his sharp eyes locking onto Jeremy. "I suggest you stop talking before you regret it."Jeremy smirked. "Please, someone call the men

    The vendor, who had just finished counting the money with great drama, stared at him. "Are you crazy, wanting to auction a chamber pot you bought for six hundred thousand?" he muttered, still standing there scratching his head that wasn't itchy. "If anyone buys that chamber pot for over a million, I'll kowtow right here in this market."Even as he said this, he wasn't truly cruel. With a mix of pity and amusement, he still told Jonathan the location of the antique market. "Head south. Just look for the old building near the river, it's called the Siluman Market.""Be careful. There are lots of scammers there too," he said as Jonathan started to walk away. "If you go there carrying a funny item like that, you might not just get laughed at, but thrown out by force."Jonathan glanced back slightly, a faint smile on his lips. "You're wrong! This chamber pot can make the entire auction house stand up in awe."The vendor could only watch Jonathan's back as he slowly disappeared, then let ou

    Azka shot forward, his kick fast and precise, flying towards Jonathan's head.Swoosh!Thud!A single punch from Jonathan, straight and calm, landed squarely on Azka's chest before his foot could reach its target.Azka fell to the ground with a heavy thud. Blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were vacant.All the spectators fell silent. No one made a sound. No one dared to laugh. Even the female students who had previously idolized Azka now looked at Jonathan with a mix of fear and awe.Jonathan walked slowly closer, then squatted down beside Azka. "Don't bother Amelia again. Or next time, I won't let you off with just a nosebleed. Remember that!"After that, he stood up, brushing off his clothes.Jonathan left the school crowd with leisurely steps.He had trained for years in the mountains; dealing with a spoiled brat like Azka was merely a trivial matter. There was no expression of pride or satisfaction on his face.Meanwhile, Azka still lay on the ground, hi

    That morning, the sky above Pegasus City was clear and bright. The sunlight gently bathed the People's Village, as if welcoming a new beginning.Jonathan was dressed in simple, yet clean and neat clothes. Beside him, Amelia walked with light steps, wearing her gray-and-white school uniform. Her hair was tied in two ponytails, and her cheerful face was full of spirit.Along the road to school, several neighbors greeted them. Some said good morning warmly, while others just observed quietly, whispering."Is that Amelia? She's so beautiful. But who's the guy next to her?""I heard they live together. But could they be dating?"Amelia heard the whispers but paid no mind. In fact, she looked even more cheerful. When they reached the school gate, she turned to Jonathan and spoke with a sweet smile."Brother Jonathan, pick me up later, okay? At three o'clock, don't forget!"Jonathan nodded, "Don't worry, I won't forget."Amelia lowered her head shyly, then ran into the schoolyard. Behind her
