Chapter 59: Back from the Brink
Seeing the grave focus on Adrian’s face, the attending physician dared not interrupt again.But he held out little hope.In all his years of practice, acupuncture—mysterious as it was—had its limits. However miraculous its effects, it could not reclaim a life already lost.As Adrian set needle after needle, sweat gathered across his brow.He had no time to wipe it away.Beyond the major acupoints, every insertion demanded a different technique—slow twirling here, feather-light pricking there, or a deft flick of his finger to send the shaft settling to an exact depth, not a hair’s breadth off.And then, after a long silence, the machines began to chirp again.“Unbelievable!”The attending physician clapped a hand over his mouth at once.This could be the critical moment. If his outburst broke Adrian’s concentration and ruined the procedure, the blame would be his alone.Adrian remained wholly absorbed. The eleventh needle. The twelfth…The little girl’s body soon bristled with silver.
Chapter 58: Snatched from the Reaper’s Hand
Hearing there was a child involved, Daisy couldn’t help softening. She shot Adrian a furtive look.After all, the girl was young. She shouldn’t be dragged into the crossfire of adult grudges.Adrian remained unmoved, his voice edged with mockery. “President Irving has no qualms about dragging Hill Group into this—why should I be generous to her child?”“You—!”Bianca Irving shot to her feet, livid. “Dean Emerson must have found the wrong person. There’s no way this youngster is a true healer! What kind of miracle doctor stands by and lets someone die?”Adrian’s smile was razor-thin. “The door’s behind you. See yourselves out.”Bianca Irving instantly tugged Finn Thompson away. Finn kept glancing back, wanting to speak, but in the end, he couldn’t overrule his wife.“Adrian, are we being…?”Adrian shook his head, cutting Daisy off. “I have medical skill, but I’m not God. Other people’s fate isn’t our burden. Don’t torment yourself over it.”“Don’t forget how she treated you at noon—how
Chapter 57: The Miracle Doctor
He didn’t finish the question, but Jasper Emerson understood.“There’s at least a thirty percent chance we can pull her through. But… I want you to prepare for the worst, because…”He let the sentence trail off. He’d already spoken with the attending. The true odds were under ten percent.But looking at Bianca Irving and Finn Thompson, he couldn’t bring himself to say it aloud.At Jasper’s words, Bianca nearly fainted on the spot. Finn caught her tight. “Imogen’s in surgery. You have to hold on—we have to wait for our girl.”“My Imogen… please, Director Emerson, I’m begging you—save her. She’s had such a hard fate…”Finn patted Bianca’s back, trying to soothe her, though his own heart was a storm.“If something really happens to her… it won’t just break us. The grandparents couldn’t bear it either…”Jasper suddenly remembered something and hesitated.“Director Emerson, if there’s something to say, say it.”Finn couldn’t imagine what could be worse than this.“I met Dr. Wallace earlier
Chapter 56: I Can Guarantee It
Bianca Irving’s arrogance set tempers alight. Adrian was about to speak, but Daisy tugged at his sleeve.“President Irving, here’s our request,” Daisy said evenly. “We’d like your help persuading members of the Chamber to maintain their partnerships with the Hill Group a while longer. Within a month, we guarantee a new product will launch—and it will sweep the market.”“Are you joking?” Bianca replied coolly. “I may be president, but I have no authority to dictate others’ choices.”“Unless you can reverse your reputation now, they’ll naturally continue to cut ties.”Daisy heard it clearly. Bianca had no interest in brokering anything—not even a token effort. With her influence, a word from her would have swayed at least a few.But even when you’re asking for help, the other party has the right to refuse. Daisy let it go.She produced a carefully prepared gift and offered it with a warm smile.“President Irving, I know this puts you in a difficult position. But the Hill Group will turn
Chapter 55: Negotiations with the Chamber of Commerce
Neil Peterson spoke with careful restraint, a hint of deference threading his tone.Adrian patted his shoulder and said softly, “Thanks for making the trip. As for them—leave it. I won’t pursue it further.”With that, he took Serena Hill by the hand and strode off, no longer sparing the others a glance.Neil exhaled. Remembering the J. Ino incident, he took Adrian’s tone to mean the matter was closed.That was already the best possible outcome.Spencer Nolan frowned. “Mr. Peterson, you’re the president of Skyline City’s Dojo Association. Why be so respectful to some nobody?”Neil’s face went cold. “A nobody? A nobody who just flattened both your dojos’ head instructors?”Spencer’s expression faltered.Raymond Mitchell stood silent.Neil’s words were harsh, but after a defeat like that, neither man had the standing to argue.“He is no ‘nobody.’ Not long ago, he saved my father’s life—and helped him break through to mid-Mythical Tier.”“Think I was doing him a favor? I was doing you one
Chapter 54: Heavenly Astral Palm
“That’s right—he dies today.”Raymond Mitchell recovered his wits and spoke in a low, iron tone.The two moved as one, wordless and lethal, brewing a killing stroke.They surged forward with a single target in mind.Adrian.Spencer Nolan didn’t hesitate to unveil his signature art: Tiger King Fist.His blows were brutal, the force within them torrential, shattering the bluestone underfoot. Chaos rippled through the crowd outside the auction hall.Everyone now understood what it meant when a Mythical Tier fighter flew into a rage.Raymond held back nothing either; his palms rose and fell in great sweeping arcs.With the two of them going all out, the onlookers scattered for cover, terrified of being caught in the blast.Serena Hill blanched. “Adrian—”But Adrian didn’t dodge as everyone expected. Instead, he stepped straight into the oncoming storm.“Heavenly Astral Palm!”His voice cut like a bell. He pressed both palms forward; a crimson light bloomed in his hands, suffused with a fo
