Michael's words stunned everyone to the bone. 

Can something still be done despite the damage that had already happened.

Without wasting time, Silver shot her brother a deadly glare. Noah was the first to speak out.

“I underestimated you a while ago and it's about to cost my father life. If there is anything you can do, please do it immediately to save his life.

You have my approval.”

Robert struggled with the words but not saying anything and his father dying would be the worst experience for him because everyone would pin the death on him.

“Please help him if you can.”

Robert said, trying to contain his disappointment for Elder Jonathan.

Just then Elder Jonathan voiced out.

“There is nothing anybody can do anymore. The gas has already damaged his brain and the black blood he coughed out was from his heart. His heart is already beyond repair.

He is lying.”

Elder Jonathan was trying to paint his image with knowledge.

Silver was puzzled now, truly the condition looked beyond help but why would Michael be lying, could all this just be for a show, after all, Michael didn't clearly state that he would be able to treat her father.

“if I could extract the gas from his forehead. I would've done it immediately when I saw the signs, but there is no way that can be done and the only way to heal somebody from gas disease is to extract the disease.”

Elder Jonathan continued while still kneeling on the floor.

“You can still save him right. You have all of us permission now.”

Silver said in a worried tone.

Michael just stepped forward at that moment.

“Get me a glass of water”

He said when he approached Sir Christopher. Michael's request was odd but they followed through immediately. In less than two minutes a glass of water was handed to Michael by the maids in the room.

“What is he planning on doing.”

All the doctors were whispering to themselves at this moment and their voices could be heard due to the dead silence in the room.

Sir Christopher wasn't coughing anymore. It felt like he was dead but yet Michael was still continuing with whatever he wanted to do, anyway they weren't close enough to really tell if Sir Christopher was already dead.

Jonathan who was kneeling on the floor could see clearly that Sir Christopher was dead, yet Michael was still going on with whatever he wanted to do.

He believed Michael wanted to play a game here and he would expose Michael immediately he did, at least that would remove some stain from his reputation.

Silver and her siblings didn't know anything about medicine for illnesses but their father had stopped coughing for a minute now and that was alarming.

They believe he was dead but Michael wasn't saying anything.

As soon as the glass of water was given to Michael, Michael brought out a black pill from his pocket. He squeezed the black pill with two of his fingers, pouring the particles directly into the water.

When he was done pouring all of the particles inside the water, Michael gently started shaking the glass of water, ensuring that the particles were fully mixed with the water.

There was no rush in Micheal movement. It was as if nothing was at stake, like everyone was in a biology practice in a school.

When Michael was done shaking the glass of water which took about three minutes. He opened Sir Christopher's mouth and started pouring the already mixed water in his mouth.

“What is he doing.”

“Is this some kind of medicine to white onion gas? I thought you can't cure it through medicine.”

All the doctors were whispering to themselves once more again.

Jonathan didn't know what Micheal was doing, but he was relaxed, can a dead man be brought to life, the answer was simply no.

Michael continued pouring the mixed water on Sir Christopher's mouth until it was down to the last drop, he made sure there wasn't a single liquid on the glass cup before he put it away.

The reason nobody could hear Sir Christopher's heart beat was because the gas had covered his chest region and his lungs as well, however, he wasn't dead yet. He was close to it, but not close enough for Michael to be worried.

When Michael was done, he positioned Sir Christopher properly on the bed again.

“Is that all.”

Robert couldn't help but ask. Without waiting for Michael to respond he went to touch his father neck and he continued.

“He is dead isn't it, why bother wasting our time if he is already dead.”

Robert couldn't understand what Michael was doing.

“Is this some kind of joke to you? Is our father's death some kind of joke to you that you have to play with the body as well.”

Jonathan smiled seeing one the Snowman family had finally caught up to Michael madness.

He stood up at that moment.

“Sadly Sir Christopher Snowman was dead even before the water was brought. The moment he stopped coughing that was when he gave up the ghost.

It's so sad that I didn't know this was a different kind of white onion gas. Even if I had put the needles on his forehead he would've still died.”

Jonathan saw this as an opportunity to restore his reputation back.

There was no truth claim to say putting several needles on Sir Christopher would've saved him.

Michael who had made the claim was practically fooling around now, causing everyone to unlikely take his words as true anymore.

One of the doctors stepped and voiced out pointing fingers at Michael.

“I noticed he was dead at the time the water was brought and I wonder why he was still carrying on with the process. Could it be that at close range he couldn't tell that Sir Christopher was already dead.”

The doctor's words gave light to speculation immediately.

“If he couldn't tell that Sir Christopher was dead at that close range then he is not a medical doctor.

This boy is a fraudstar.”

“Even young master Robert, who isn't a doctor, could tell that his father was dead, let alone a real doctor.

This is unreal to believe!”

Elder Jonathan felt like laughing out loudly at this moment. Michael authenticity had completely been scattered to the ground. He was starting to wonder if Michael didn't make a wild guess just now on the needles and if Michael was even a doctor.

What a fool, he could've just stayed silent.

“I said it from the beginning that it was a different kind of White onion gas that he couldn't be saved anymore, but I was surprised when this wack mentioned that he could be saved and looked at the method he planned to save somebody suffering from one of the most deadly diseases in the world, water and a black pill that nobody knew what it could be. 

For all we know, that pill could've tarnished Sir Christopher internals as we speak!

This was beyond the will to help but a criminal practice, imagine not knowing if his patient was dead or not, how can somebody like that call himself a doctor.

That absurdity in the highest order!”

Everyone started jumping in again.

“Is he really dead.”

Noah said as he stepped in to touch his father on the neck. He did and it was true that his father was dead.

“I thought you said you could help him, are you even a real doctor?”

Noah sounded angrily. Silver was behind Michael and didn't really know what to say.

“Is he really dead.”

She asked Micheal without going to confirm it. The place was dead silent as everyone waited to hear Micheal respond.

“He is not dead. He is resting.”

Michael responded to Silver because she was the only one that didn't went to confirm for herself.

Everyone's faces squeezed immediately Michael said that.

“No more playing games here!!!”

Jonathan screamed out. He wanted to voice out again when Sir Christopher suddenly started coughing.

    The security man said as he faced Michael and Aubrey. Aubrey couldn't help but voice out.“This is not fair, I know so much power is given to the military but there has to be a way to justify their actions. We haven't done any crime here.”Edward voiced out immediately Aubrey finished.“It doesn't matter if you have done anything wrong or not. You simply crossed paths with the wrong person, and you should thank your stars that Elliott doesn't want to use his brother's troops, otherwise this whole place would've been covered with more than thirty military personnel.”The security man heard that and he immediately wanted to take care of Michael and Aubrey in a violent way as he thought Elliott was from a war family.“Put what you have taken down, miss. I won't say it again.”The security man said as he placed his hand on the taser gun on his waist region. Aubrey was afraid at this moment. She had no idea the power the coin possessed but she knew the law could easily bend however a powe

    Edward was flabbergasted. He pointed his fingers at Michael.“I see you are seeking death. I will no longer warn you anymore, instead I will let Elliott prove himself to you with actions.”Edward said as he gave Elliott a small nod. “You don't have to worry about holding back on him anymore. My sister never had any feelings for him, so she wouldn't give it a single thought if he was to die here.”Elliott was shaking on his spot now. Nobody had ever questioned his authority before. Nobody knew the military well enough to question his words.He had lied to Edward about his brother commanding hundreds of military veterans, whereas his brother was only given five military personnel as bodyguards. However, with his brother's accomplishments, being a war family wasn't that far away, especially with the rumors of the war heating up recently. If his brother performs extremely well in the war, they could become a war family. Elliott shook his fear off and casually responded to Edward.“As m

    “I would like to hear that one word”Michael said as he folded his hands across his chest. His expression darkened at that moment. He couldn't believe that Sophia was already dating someone while they were still married.He wondered all the dirty things Sophia would've done inside their marriage.She didn't even wait to divorce him before she jumped into another man's arms.Did Sophia even love him one bit?Michael couldn't help but question if Sophia had loved him at all.He thought about it and he understood that Sophia was only after her own selfish benefits.Those who served in the military academy had just come back a few weeks ago, meaning, Sophia got to know about this man a few weeks ago and was already in a relationship with him.She sure knows how to work her way to the top in a selfish way.Every bit of love he had for Sophia was gone, he wondered what she would feel like when she realized she threw a diamond away to chase after sands.Edward was stunned on the spot when h

    Just then Michael stopped on the herbs section.“We will take one, four, three and seven.”Michael said as he pointed them to Aubrey to carry. Aubrey was skeptical of Michael's words. The herbs Michael pointed were the ones the shopping mall was giving away. The shopping mall had probably bought them many and they were about to get spoiled. “Okay, what are you using them for?”Aubrey said as she started shoving them inside the shopping bag she was carrying.“These are ingredients I used to create the white pill”Michael said and Aubrey stopped carrying the herbs.“These are the ingredients”Aubrey couldn't help but asked. “I thought you were going to use them on soup or something. If these are the ingredients we sure have failed.”Aubrey started laughing. “Just tell me you are messing with me!”She believed Michael was joking but Michael didn't say anything and Aubrey couldn't help asking more seriously this time around.“Wait, these are the ingredients for it. How is that possibl

    Aubrey couldn't believe that Michael was right. The portal had truly been opened and Mike Larry would truly be in attendance for the event.She couldn't believe that Mike Larry was truly going to be attending the event. Mike Larry was one of the founding fathers of supplementary medicine for Veterans. He was one of the oldest among the founding fathers that started the movement years ago. She wondered how a small city like Autumnvale was able to pull something like this off, and she couldn't help but wonder how Michael was able to find out a surprise package like this.“How did you know about all of these? Do you have somebody on the inside Sir Michael or...”Aubrey continued in a low tone as the words were heavy in her mouth.“Or did you actually pull this off like you said earlier.”Aubrey waited patiently to hear Michael's words. She wondered if Michael had that kind of connection. Not so she could further admire Michael, knowing it would ease her worries that Michael would be alr

    Michael finished sending the text message before he turned to face Aubrey again.“I have contacted him and the application portal would be open again for a few hours and only for local clinics that want to try their supplements on the big stage.”Aubrey was stunned by Michael's words. She couldn't help but voice out.“Seriously, they have never done this before and even if they truly open the portal again, we can't participate unless we have ten of these white pills and even at that, I don't think they would be able to scan our product before the event.The event is just a few hours away. All the products that are going to be presented today have already been tested and approved by the officials in charge, and that takes a lot of time. There is no way they are going to be able to create time to test our product before the event.”Aubrey was super anxious. She doesn't know how Michael was able to know somebody of high status that could pull this off, but it was a complete waste given t
