The atmosphere immediately fell silent.

Jonathan agreed without hesitation. "Lead the way."

A luxurious car took them to a large villa in the elite area of Pegasus City.

The opulence of the house and the collection of antiques from around the world were everywhere.

Jonathan looked at all this with raised eyebrows.

They arrived in a spacious room filled with medical equipment and the scent of herbal concoctions. On the bed lay an old man with a pale face and labored breathing.

Standing near the bed was a man with round glasses, wearing a long white robe with gold embroidery on the shoulders.

This was Tabib Saputro, a legendary physician whose name was often heard even in the remote corners of the country.

Tabib Saputro sighed, "His condition is very critical, and I am not confident I can cure him. If left any longer, his life will be in even greater danger."

Lius Caresta, the son of the old man, looked panicked. Because Tabib Saputro was a renowned physician in Pegasus City, and now even he had no solution, it made hope dwindle.

"This illness is rare, and I only have a fifty percent chance. Even if successful, he can only survive for a few more weeks. I believe other doctors certainly won't be able to handle it."

Hearing this, Lius pleaded with Tabib Saputro to still attempt the treatment. "Do your best, Tabib. You are my only hope now."

At that moment, Winny entered the room with Jonathan. She called out, "Father, I've brought someone who might be able to help save Grandfather."

Lius turned, and his eyes immediately sharpened. "You brought someone like this into our house?" He scolded Winny for acting recklessly. "I warn you, don't interfere."

Lius looked at Jonathan with disgust, then looked at his daughter again. "Tabib Saputro came all the way from Kagarva, carrying a great reputation, unparalleled experience, and knowledge. And you bring in a smelly street youth."

Winny began to think that since a top physician from across the country had come, her grandfather would surely be saved.

She didn't push too hard for Jonathan to treat him, because even though Jonathan seemed skilled at healing, he still couldn't compare to a nationally top-ranked physician.

Jonathan said nothing, knowing his place, but from his perspective, he could already see that the old man was on the brink of death. An ordinary doctor definitely couldn't save him.

Jonathan smiled faintly. He just looked at the patient, then walked slowly, observing his pulse, the color of his tongue, and the blood flow from between the skin.

Even Jonathan himself was quite surprised because it turned out Tabib Saputro knew the Ancient Seven Stars Acupuncture Technique.

Tabib Saputro looked at Jonathan, "Young man. What do you think about this illness?" Although he heard Lius wanting this young man to leave, he still respected the person brought by Winny. This question was merely a usual formality.

Tabib Saputro observed. He was slightly surprised when he saw how Jonathan touched specific acupuncture points.

"You know the Seven Stars technique? It seems you are quite capable of recognizing the technique I'm applying. You are quite knowledgeable."

But Jonathan shook his head and explained. "Although the Seven Stars technique can prolong the patient's life, if used incorrectly, it will be fatal."

All eyes turned and stared sharply. Tabib Saputro laughed scornfully. "Who do you think I am?! This is the heritage of the Saputro family. How could a young man like you understand it?"

"If used with this meridian arrangement, the patient won't last until tonight," Jonathan replied calmly. "You should know his heart energy center is weakening. The Seven Stars technique only delays death. It doesn't save him."

"Enough!" Lius was also annoyed. He had gone through great trouble to invite a top physician like Tabib Saputro, only to have him insulted by an unknown youth. "If it weren't for Winny's pity on you, you wouldn't even be allowed past the gate."

Since they didn't appreciate his good intentions, Jonathan said firmly, "I'm just stating the truth. If you think you're so great already. My condolences."

Winny, although still believing that Tabib Saputro couldn't possibly be wrong, still felt bad that Jonathan, whom she had invited, was treated 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. Th

    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
