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 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
