“With Manager Iverson on our side, the finest jade in Mr. Ashford’s collection is bound to belong to the Davidson family!”Patrick Davidson showed not the slightest hint of modesty. Adrian raised an eyebrow and looked at him with amused interest.“And what if the best jade ends up in my hands?” Adrian asked calmly.Patrick Davidson immediately burst into a mocking laugh.“Impossible!”“If you really manage to pick the best one, I’ll call you Grandfather in front of everyone here!”Adrian nodded in satisfaction. Ordinarily, he had little interest in taking advantage of others—but hearing Patrick Davidson call him that was another matter entirely.“Deal,” Adrian said lightly.Patrick Davidson snorted. “And if the Davidson family picks the best one, you’ll kneel down and bow to me three times.”“No problem.”Adrian agreed without hesitation, leaving everyone present somewhat stunned. After all, Manager Iverson’s reputation in the world of stone gambling was unmatched; his success was cer

Lincoln Ashford glanced at Giselle Norris. She understood at once, took out a check worth ten million, and walked over to Max.“Mr. Max, it hasn’t been easy for you to make this trip. Thank you all for traveling so far to treat my husband. This is just a small token of our appreciation.”As she spoke, Giselle Norris handed him the check, but Max refused it emphatically.At this moment, money was the last thing on his mind.Barely able to conceal the excitement on his face, Max politely declined and took a few quick steps toward Adrian.“Mr. Doyle, what I witnessed today has truly opened my eyes. The medical arts of the Novaland Republic are astonishing. May I ask—how can a few needles cure an illness? Would you mind sharing the principles behind it?”Max’s cheeks were flushed with excitement, his earlier arrogance completely gone.He wasn’t the only one. The rest of the Eagleshire medical team also looked at Adrian with eager anticipation.Adrian felt rather helpless. How was he suppo

The confusion in Lincoln Ashford’s eyes gradually gave way to deep gratitude.“Dr. Doyle, I will make sure to thank you properly.”Adrian waved him off. “Save that for later. For now, I only need you to answer one question—where did this bracelet come from?”As Adrian spoke, nearly everyone’s gaze shifted to the bracelet on Lincoln Ashford’s wrist.It looked like nothing more than an ordinary string of prayer beads, yet at that moment it sent a chill through those who looked at it.Lincoln Ashford himself examined it with puzzlement, lifting his wrist and turning it over. No matter how he looked, it seemed unremarkable.“I bought it from a very famous collector,” he said. “He told me it was once used by ancient royalty—an invaluable treasure.”Adrian nodded. “It is indeed a treasure.”“Quite an impressive purchase,” he added coolly. “Spending money on a talisman of death—and wearing it every single day.”Lincoln Ashford let out a startled “What?” clearly not understanding Adrian’s mea

Vincent Wallace had failed to properly treat Lincoln Ashford earlier, and Giselle Norris had never held him in high regard to begin with.Before Giselle Norris could even speak, Max hurriedly stepped forward to claim the credit.“Miss Norris, the miracle drug has already taken effect.”Giselle Norris looked up, a flicker of surprise lighting her eyes.“Really?”Max nodded solemnly. “I can guarantee it—this improvement is absolutely due to the miracle drug.”Adrian couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that.“That so-called miracle drug nearly sent the patient to his grave, and you still dare to say it worked? What—worked at killing him?”Max immediately lost his composure. He had never been spoken to like this.“I am a top medical professor from Eagleshire and the vice president of the International Medical Association! No one has ever dared to question me. And you—you dare to doubt me?”Max had assumed that his status and reputation would force Adrian to back down. Instead, Adrian sh

Giselle Norris’s heart sank. She staggered, barely steadying herself by grabbing the cabinet behind her.Lincoln Ashford looked as though he were on death’s door—how could he possibly be “not ill”?Damon couldn’t take it anymore and snapped back at once.“Does my brother look like a healthy man to you? What nonsense are you talking about?”It was only then that Giselle Norris noticed Adrian and the others standing behind her. Her face darkened instantly.“Didn’t you leave already? Why are you back? Are you here to watch old Ashford make a fool of himself?”Adrian was speechless. This woman was truly insufferable.Afraid Adrian might turn around and leave again, Damon quietly tugged at his sleeve.“Dr. Doyle stayed behind in case the Eagleshire medical team couldn’t cure my brother…”At that moment, Dr. Max let out a mocking laugh.“So you overheard me saying Mr. Ashford isn’t ill, and that’s why you dare to talk so boldly.”He exchanged a knowing look with the doctors in white coats b
Chapter 163
The moment Quentin Newman and the others heard this, their faces lit up with undisguised delight.With Vermilion Bird and her guards stepping in, Adrian was bound to suffer a crushing defeat.Under Lord Buddha’s command were twelve elite guardians. Closest to her were the four great protectors—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—each commanding a cadre of highly capable, fiercely loyal retainers.As for the four guardians themselves, their strength was second only to Lord Buddha’s.If Vermilion Bird were to make a move, even if every martial artist in Skyline City banded together, they would still be no match for her.Nora Simpson shook her head lightly. “No need.”“Help me pack. I’ll go there myself.”“What?”Quentin Newman cried out in disbelief, then immediately lowered his head as if he had spoken out of turn. “Lord Buddha, dealing with Adrian hardly requires your personal involvement.”Nora Simpson’s decision caught everyone off guard—even Vermilion Bird
