I'm Invincible In The World

Chapter 07

Vrooom!

Vroom!

The sound of car exhausts roared loudly from a distance, making everyone turn their heads.

Over a dozen black cars stopped simultaneously in the courtyard of the Buana family residence.

A middle-aged man got out, leading dozens of men dressed in black.

Seeing his arrival, Yorgi hurriedly stood up and greeted him respectfully, "M-Mr. Caresta."

Yorgi immediately bowed with a tense face. He could hardly believe that one of the most powerful family heads in Pegasus City had come to his home unannounced.

But Lius Caresta ignored him completely; his gaze was focused solely on one person. Namely, Jonathan.

Lius's steps were quick and decisive as he approached the young man who had just been thoroughly insulted by Yorgi's own granddaughter.

"Mr. Jonathan, please forgive my family's rudeness earlier," Lius said with a sincere tone, even bowing his body. "I know I am not worthy to ask. But please, save my father. You are our only hope."

Everyone from the Buana family present froze. The guard who had been about to attack Jonathan shrank back, full of fear.

Roselin saw it with her own eyes and stared in disbelief; it was as if she had been struck by lightning, her eyes wide and her mouth hanging open soundlessly.

The man who had just been insulted as a loser was actually being respected by Lius Caresta himself?!

Jonathan didn't utter a single word in reply. He only glanced at Yorgi and Roselin for a moment with a cold gaze. Then he stepped forward and walked towards the Caresta family's luxury car.

Even though he was leaving, the humiliation he had received today at the Buana family home would not be let go so easily.

Yorgi was utterly terrified watching Jonathan get into the Caresta family's car.

Lius was the most powerful figure in Pegasus City, and Jonathan was capable of making the head of the Caresta family come personally to pick him up—he was clearly not someone to be underestimated.

After recalling everything that had happened today, Yorgi suddenly realized that a great disaster was about to befall their family.

Smack!

A hard slap landed on Roselin's face.

Roselin was sent stumbling sideways. Her eyes were watery, holding back the sting and anger. "Grandfather, what is the meaning of this? Why did you slap me?"

Yorgi pointed a trembling finger at his granddaughter's face. "Fool! Our family has lost a golden opportunity."

"Why slap me just because of that mountain trash? Just who is he anyway?" Roselin held her burning cheek. "The Caresta family's company is big, but we don't need to make such a fuss, right?"

"Silence!" Yorgi roared, his face flushed red. "You know nothing! The Caresta family isn't just a company. Behind their apparent simplicity, they possess political power, economic networks, and influence that even the number one company wouldn't dare touch."

"And if Jonathan can make Lius come personally to fetch him, then he is not someone to be trifled with."

Roselin swallowed, her voice beginning to tremble. "But he's poor, shabby, and lowly."

Yorgi pressed on his chest, which felt tight; his face also began to pale. If Roselin had been willing to marry Jonathan earlier, their family could have used that connection to gain power in Pegasus City. But now, it was all too late.

"The Buana family has truly made an enemy of the wrong person!"

On the other hand, Jonathan, now at the Caresta family residence, was served expensive tea and treated with utmost respect. But his expression remained flat.

Lius sat opposite him, bowing slightly. "Mr. Jonathan. I would like to know, how did you know the acupuncture method applied by Tabib Saputro was wrong? What made you so sure from the very beginning?"

Jonathan looked at him. "I have studied so many Traditional Medicine techniques that I was absolutely certain it was wrong."

"Then, why were you so sure I could cure him?" Jonathan finally asked this question.

Lius answered, "I-It was on Tabib Saputro's recommendation."

At that moment, Tabib Saputro entered the room, his face full of regret and shame. "I was the one who told Mr. Lius to find you. I almost killed his patient. It seems my family's inherited Seven Stars technique really is flawed."

Jonathan looked at him, raising an eyebrow. "Your Seven Stars technique isn't flawed. It's just that your insertion at the Renying point was too deep. The energy didn't disperse evenly and instead blocked the heart meridian. I told you earlier, a single error in insertion can render all efforts useless."

Tabib Saputro nodded deeply. "I deserve the scorn; the title of Divine Physician should be revoked. I was too overconfident and refused to listen to your warning. I deeply regret it."

Jonathan didn't respond; his eyes were drawn to the opening door. Winny ran in, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Mr. Jonathan, my grandfather... Please, he's dying."
