Dalton was amazed.
"What is that, Mr. Bogus?" Gentry inquired, looking confused and frowning. "Stay quiet." Dalton reprimanded Gentry, who dared not make a sound. Dalton, however, paid no attention to Gentry and focused on watching Gilbert's movements intently. Gilbert appeared very skilled as he asked old Mr. Kane to sit back in the chair. After disinfecting the needles, Gilbert prepared to perform acupuncture on the patient, Mr. Kane. The needles looked shiny and came in different sizes, but in Gilbert's hands, they seemed less intimidating. It was as if Gilbert was putting on a spectacular show for his audience. With precision and skill, Gilbert inserted the needles into the body of old Mr. Kane accurately hits the acupuncture points. "It's that." Dalton muttered to himself, his eyes widening. Acupuncture was a highly dangerous practice that required exceptional skill. The precise location of the acupuncture points and the depth of the puncture were crucial. Gilbert remained calm, performing the procedure with ease as if it were second nature to him. Soon, Gilbert accurately inserted all the needles into old Mr. Kane's acupuncture points. Gentry and Scott shook with fear as they observed the placement of the sharp needles. Dalton, who had some knowledge of acupuncture, recognized Gilbert's exceptional skill, noting that Gilbert completed the procedure in just half a minute, a feat that would take others an hour. "Flip it," Gilbert instructed as he deftly manipulated the nine needles, causing them to tremble as if they were alive. " It seems like he has brought those needles to life," Dalton thought to himself. The Nine Skills of Acupuncture Dalton exclaimed in shock at what he saw. Gilbert turned around and looked at Dalton, then said lightly, "Okay." "Yeah," Dalton replied, feeling a little embarrassed and not daring to say more. As Dalton's eyes fell on Gilbert's hand, he tried to learn something from him. However, Gilbert worked quickly, leaving Dalton feeling dazzled. Five minutes later, Gilbert removed all nine needles at once. "Old Mr. Kane, how do you feel now?" As he stowed the needle box, Gilbert inquired. "Phew." Old Mr. Kane took a deep breath before opening his eyes. Scott noticed beads of sweat on Old Mr. Kane, despite the fact that the weather was not hot. The sweat was not transparent, but mixed with impurities. Damn!" "It's more comfortable than a sauna." The Kane family holds significant influence in Texas City. "Thank you very much, Mr. Huxley!" Scott, being very charming, expressed his gratitude to Gilbert once again. Gilbert felt it was no big deal, so he didn't say anything. "Mr. Huxley, I really appreciate you healing me." You can name whatever you want. The Kane family holds significant influence in Texas City. Old Mr. Kane stood up and looked at Gilbert seriously. "The effect is clear. I feel completely cured now!" Gilbert's treatment was simply acupuncture. Regarding the outcome, we still need to investigate further. The gentleman frowned and spoke in a negative tone. Originally, he wanted Dalton to treat old Mr. Kane so that he might gain favor with him. Scott found a disabled person to take the credit, stealing his thunder and giving prominence to Gentry. How could Gentry swallow that? "The effect is clear. I feel completely cured now!" Old Mr. Kane laughed and said, Mr. Kane, better safe than sorry. Don't jump to conclusions." "I don't believe this cripple. Mr. Bogus will decide whether or not you recover. Gentry turned to look at Dalton and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Bogus?" However, Dalton didn't even look at Gentry; instead, he gave his full attention to Gilbert. Dalton stepped forward and greeted Gilbert. Mr. Huxley, I never knew you were such a brilliant doctor. Please forgive me for not respecting you before. Dalton bowed to Gilbert respectfully, leaving everyone amazed. Dalton, an elderly man who could have been Gilbert's grandfather, was a highly respected doctor, in high demand by royal and wealthy families for his medical expertise. Despite his age and experience, he humbly approached Gilbert, a young man in his twenties, and asked him to be his teacher. This request surprised Mr. Kane and others present, as it seemed unconventional for someone as young as Gilbert to teach someone as experienced as Dalton. Dalton, on the other hand, believed that learning from knowledge was necessary regardless of age, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and growth.

“No, no, no. Sir, I assure you that none of that would happen. The murder suspects are undoubtedly Christian Luiz’s bodyguards.”“Very well, if you say so,” Gilbert nodded and stopped teasing Travis.Travis sighed in relief.“Someone come and take Mr. Huxley home in my car,” Travis turned around and ordered his subordinates.The department escorted Gilbert home in a car, treating him as though he had come for a day trip.Everyone in the room had mixed feelings after Gilbert left, especially the young man who briefly met him the night before.“Wow! That was so damn cool!” The young man exclaimed. He thought he could sense that Gilbert differed from others, but he didn’t expect him to be so extraordinary.It was four in the afternoon. Azalea was at one of the company’s branches. This was one of the rare occasions when Azalea left early because of a low workload.

Travis suddenly had an ominous prediction. He wasn't a fool. He wouldn't have received a promotion to his current position otherwise. A case of this magnitude did not require the involvement of NSIA.David's appearance here could only mean that he was here for someone involved in the case. Many thoughts crossed Travis's mind.Perhaps the reason David came to check the case was that Christian or Yvette knew him.Travis had millions of questions, but it didn't occur to him to think about the connection between Gilbert and David.Travis could never believe that a cripple like Gilbert knew someone as powerful as David.Hamlin was worried about the situation. If David came here because of Yvette, then Gilbert had no chance of survival. The final judgment took place at NSIA. The verdict could decide life or death.Hamlin wanted to help Gilbert, but now he was out of options."There are many people here," David commented as he looked around at everyone entering the room. Besides Gilbert and

“Um, please, be quiet.” A middle-aged officer asked Gilbert Huxley, “Where were you between eleven and midnight last night?”“At the casino,” Gilbert answered honestly.“What were you doing there?” The middle-aged officer followed up immediately, not allowing Gilbert time to think.“I was short on money, so I went to try my luck,” Gilbert replied without missing a beat.The Oleander Casino was closed yesterday. “How did you try your luck there?” the officer scowled.“That’s why I left,” Gilbert replied calmly, just as before.The middle-aged officer frowned and looked at Gilbert for a few seconds. Gilbert’s calm demeanor surprised him.“The victim, Christian Luiz, died while you were at the casino. Therefore, you are the prime suspect. Do you have anything to say about this matter?" The officer frowned and turned on the recording device.“No.” However, Gilbert only whispered one word.“Watch your attitude!”A younger officer suddenly slammed his fist on the table.“Let me tell you thi

“Tell me what’s going on.” Gilbert nodded.“It’s just that Hawk rented out the entire Lakeside Hotel.” Hawk took this action to openly express his emotions to a female acquaintance. Azalea spoke haltingly, observing Gilbert’s expression throughout her explanation.Initially, she hadn’t planned on telling Gilbert so he wouldn’t feel bad. However, she felt the need to give him some explanation about this matter. If she didn’t, he would eventually discover the truth, given his frequent absences from home. If that were to occur, he would undoubtedly experience a significant decline in his emotional well-being.Upon hearing this, Gilbert slowly looked up and asked with a smile, “Do you think maybe Hawk might want to express his feelings for you?”Surprisingly, he didn’t seem frustrated at all.Azalea looked somewhat puzzled. She stared at Gilbert and asked, “You... Aren’t you angry?”Gilbert shook his head. Would a lion worry about a mere ant? Hawk may have been the eldest son of the power

Upon receiving the order, the thirty vehicles’ passenger doors opened, revealing tall, muscular men below. Each of them wieled a five-foot-long steel rod. In particular, a 30-year-old man at the front of the group brandished a metal bat. The hundred burly men exuded a threatening aura.“Are you sure Christian is inside?” The young man stared at the Oleander Casino and lightly tapped the metal bat in his hand.A subordinate reported, “Yes! We heard Christian will be here today to interrogate someone. He’s definitely in there!”“Interrogate? He always preys on the weak. Let’s teach him a lesson today. We are doing Riverfall City a favor by getting rid of this scum. We will rule the criminal underworld of Riverfall City from now on!”The young man swung his bat and flexed his muscles before heading towards the Oleander Casino. The other burly men followed closely behind. As they stepped in unison, they exuded an aura of power and danger.There was an unwritten rule in the underworld neve

Christian was the owner of the Oleander casino. At the moment, only a handful of Christian’s men were present in the casino because of its non-operational status. Christian sat on a high chair with fifty muscular men dressed in black behind him. He spoke to Gilbert, who was about two meters away.“We meet again, Mr. Huxley,” Christian said, laughing as he fiddled with the strap of his gold watch. Despite his situation, Gilbert maintained a serious face.He pondered, “I didn’t make many enemies in Riverfall City.”“I was still worried that my nemesis, Odom, might be after me. Now that I know it’s Christian, I feel safer.”Noticing Gilbert’s silence, Christian asked in a haughty tone, “I told you I would give you a day to think about it, Mr. Huxley. Did you think I was joking? Or do you believe that, simply because you know Mr. Kane, I am incapable of harming you?”Gilbert remained silent, seemingly unconcerned about responding to Christian. “This is your last chance. I will send you ho
