All those voices were heard clearly by Jonathan, but he didn't pay them much mind.
He stepped closer to the patient. He wasn't carrying a medical box. He wasn't wearing a white coat. He simply took a small needle from the inner pocket of his robe and pressed on specific points on the patient's body.
Alexander watched continuously, never looking away, even reluctant to blink. "A needle? Hey, are you trying to stab him to death?"
Jonathan ignored him.
"Putting on airs like a traditional healer, recklessly sticking needles into someone's body. Besides, have you ever seen a physician as young as you?" He tried to disrupt Jonathan's concentration.
But Jonathan continued his movements swiftly, skillfully, and methodically. He proceeded to massage a point on the back of the neck, blew a breath using a specific technique, then lightly struck the patient's chest with his palm.
The patient's body twitched. Once. Twice. Then he coughed violently, and his breathing began to regulate. His pale face regained color.
The crowd fell silent. Quiet. Only the sound of the patient's panting breath broke the air.
"Is he really alive?" someone whispered.
"Did he save him?" asked another.
"A truly miraculous doctor."
"See, he actually managed to save him," said the young woman.
Some people clapped, while others felt ashamed for having cursed at Jonathan earlier.
Jonathan stood up again, then looked at Alexander and said, "I've done my part. Now fulfill your promise. Didn't you say earlier you'd give 200 million as long as he lived?"
Alexander was startled, his face visibly tense. But he quickly managed to cover his panic with a forced, crooked smile.
"Tch. You're so full of yourself. I was just testing you earlier, to see if you dared to take the challenge. Besides, the patient improved because of the injection earlier, more precisely due to the effect of the medicine I administered beforehand. It has nothing to do with your strange treatment." His words sounded weak and full of doubt. The people watching felt disgusted and mocked him.
"Lies! He was almost dead just now. If not for him, this man would be a corpse!"
Alexander fell silent, tongue-tied. He was being slapped repeatedly by reality.
"Do you intend to go back on your word?" Jonathan's gaze narrowed.
"That's not it. I-I..."
"Then what is it?" Jonathan turned to the crowd and spoke loudly. "You are all witnesses, right? Who saved this man? Didn't you all hear him too? If I could save him, he said he would pay any amount, right?"
"Yes. We heard his promise," someone immediately shouted. Starting with him, many people finally supported Jonathan.
Earlier he was cursed, now the tables had turned. Earlier Alexander was praised, now he was scorned. Such is life. Ironic, isn't it?
Alexander finally had no choice. Reluctantly, he threw a card onto the ground. "There's 2 million in there. Consider it charity," he said rudely, then left in annoyance without looking back.
Truthfully, the old master who taught him wasn't evil. All his martial arts skills, including his extraordinary medical knowledge, had been imparted to Jonathan. His only flaw was his stinginess. Other than that, Jonathan couldn't find any other faults in the old man.
Jonathan looked at the card. "At least it's enough to buy a gift."
As he prepared to leave, a voice sounded behind him. "Wait!"
Jonathan turned and recognized the beautiful woman and the old man who had been in the crowd earlier.
"My name is Winny Caresta," the woman said politely with a smile. "After seeing your ability earlier, I would like to ask for your help."
Jonathan's face instantly turned cold. His gaze fixed on the old man standing beside Winny.
"Weren't you the one bad-mouthing me earlier?"
The old man, Steward Damaro, looked awkward and embarrassed, not expecting Jonathan's hearing to be so sharp.
"We apologize for the misunderstanding earlier. Sometimes these old eyes judge too quickly," he said softly.
"My hearing isn't as old as your ears, old man. Your insults earlier echoed very clearly," Jonathan said, folding his arms across his chest.
Winny Caresta quickly stepped forward. "Please forgive him. He was just worried about me." She took a deep breath and mustered the courage to ask, "Would you be willing to save a member of my family? Don't worry, this isn't for free. We will pay according to your wishes."
Jonathan was about to refuse. "Sorry, I have an important matter to attend to first."
"How about 1 billion?"

Chapter 47
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 he

"Jonathan!"The voice, full of rage, exploded from Yorgi's mouth. He stepped quickly, grabbing Jonathan's arm as he tried to leave. "Just who do you think you are, huh? Just because you have a little skill and managed to save Old Master Caresta, you think you're so great now?"Yorgi's eyes blazed with the fire of wounded pride. Behind him, Roselin stood with a contemptuous expression, arms folded across her chest."At best, you were probably just given a few coins as a thank you," Yorgi sneered. "You think with that you can challenge the Buana Family? You're not even worthy of being called our opponent!"Jonathan merely looked at Yorgi emotionlessly, his gaze flat yet piercing. Before he could respond, Roselin's voice quickly followed. "You heard him, didn't you?" she said sharply. "Next time you show up in the same place as me, I won't let you off as easily as today."Roselin's face hinted at a determination to humiliate Jonathan given a second chance. However, instead of being intim

Amelia immediately shook her head quickly and raised her hands. "Everything here must be so expensive, I don't want it. I just want to look.""If your brother says it's okay, why be hesitant? Consider it a gift from me!""No, Brother. I still have the necklace from Grandma."Jonathan could only smile, impressed by Amelia's steadfastness. "Alright. But if you change your mind later, just say the word."After circling part of the exhibition room, Jonathan and Amelia paused in front of a white vase with a finely painted blue dragon. But before they could examine it further, a soft voice called out."Amelia!"Amelia turned quickly, her face immediately lighting up. "Melani!"From the opposite direction, Melani arrived with James and a few other friends. Amelia immediately hugged her best friend. Even though they had just gone through a heavy ordeal at the Holiday Club, a reunion like this felt soothing."You could come too?" Amelia asked, her eyes sparkling.Melani nodded, smiling happily

After the minor incident at the hotel entrance, Jonathan's name was finally found on the VIP guest list. Even one of the security supervisors who arrived later bowed respectfully and ushered them in without another word. The guards who had looked down on them earlier could only bow their heads in silence, ashamed of their previous attitude.Upon arriving in the main hall, Jonathan turned and asked Amelia, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest?"Amelia quickly shook her head, her eyes shining. "Not at all, Brother. Actually, I really want to look around this place. I never even imagined I could come to a place this luxurious."Jonathan gently patted the top of his beloved sister's head and smiled. "Good. You should get used to it. Sooner or later, environments like this will be where you stand."Amelia didn't understand why Jonathan said that. "What do you mean, Brother?"But Jonathan just winked slowly, offering no answer. He stepped forward first, letting the question hang in the air.

"Excuse me, Grandpa, could I take a look at that Blue and White bowl for a moment?"The old man's steps halted. He turned, his wrinkled eyes looking at Jonathan with curiosity and caution. He weighed the bowl in his hands for a moment, then slowly stepped closer. "Do you want to buy it, Son?" he asked, his voice heavy yet sincere. "If so, I must tell you first, the price is non-negotiable."Jonathan smiled warmly. "I just want to take a closer look. If it's as good as I think it is."Jonathan examined it more closely, and with his appraisal skills, he immediately said, "I'll pay 6 Million for it. How about that?"The old man's eyes widened. He took half a step back, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "S-six million?" he stammered. "Son, I'm just a villager. Just because I'm old and don't know the market price, don't try to trick me like this.""No, Grandpa!" Jonathan smiled broa
Chapter 45
Jonathan didn't laugh. He just shrugged and said calmly, "The antique world is harsh. Some are willing to deceive, others are willing to be deceived. But the biggest loser is the one who doesn't learn from their own foolishness."The shop owner felt deeply bitter, remembering that his family had been in the antique business for generations, yet in his own generation, he had been completely swindled. The more he thought about it, the more miserable he felt.Meanwhile, the old man had already boarded a bus, shaking his head and muttering to himself, "City life is full of deceit. I want to go back to the village. There, the worst I'll get cheated on is the price of chilies."On the other side.Amelia glanced back and felt a bit sorry for the shop owner. "I feel a little sorry for him, Bro. He looks like he's just been slapped in the face by reality."But Jonathan only gave a faint smile, his expression calm. "That's not pity, Mel. That's called Karma. He's been selling fake items to peop
