Alexander stroked his chin, clearly delighted. "Evelyn, I never thought you'd manage to become a partner with the Patel family. You've really solidified your position in Calonia now!"

Evelyn's gaze shifted to Griffin. "Actually, I owe it all to Mr. Davis. If it weren't for his connections, I wouldn't have had a chance at the Patel family partnership."

Dominic, eager to flatter Griffin, quickly chimed in. "Alexander, that's not all. Evelyn almost ran into trouble today. Wallace tried

    "If Dr. Gunter is interested, I happen to have a book here that might be of help to you."Gabriel said, reaching into a nearby drawer and pulling out an ancient, yellowed tome. "This contains methods of witchcraft and sorcery healing. You might find it worth studying.""Wonderful! Thank you, Mr. Martin!" Sebastian was thrilled, eagerly taking the book and diving right into its pages.The more Sebastian read, the more excited he became. The text was profound and mysterious, and soon he was completely engrossed, as if the book held the secrets of the universe.Emily gave a knowing smile, "Dr. Gunter, it's customary to give something in return. Gabriel gave you a book, what will you give him in return?"While her husband was generous, she wasn't about to let someone else get a free ride."Oh, right, I almost forgot." Sebastian patted his pockets, finally producing a set of golden needles. "Mr. Martin, these needles are crafted from arcane gold, incredibly

    Melanie chimed in, "Hey there, young man! Take this Longevity Fruit. From now on, you'll always be our family's great benefactor!"Gabriel replied earnestly, "I wouldn't dare call myself a benefactor, just hoping Mr. Gordon won't be out for revenge.""No way, no way! My dad's not like that!" Sophia waved her hands emphatically, casting a slightly threatening glance back at Frank.Frank sighed, nodding reluctantly, "Today's events were just a misunderstanding. I hope you won't hold a grudge, young man.""In that case, I thank you. I have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." Gabriel nodded in thanks and turned to make his exit.Sophia suddenly called out, "Gabriel, will we meet again?""If fate's on our side, we'll meet again," Gabriel waved his hand and walked straight towards the door.As he was about to step out, William's deep voice rumbled in his ear, "Kid, you should be grateful Sophia arrived in time. She saved your life!""The o

    He held a crimson wooden box in his hands, and inside it was none other than the Longevity Fruit!Mr. Cooper sneered, patting the box, "Hey, kid! Mr. Gordon handed over the Longevity Fruit to me, so it's mine now!"So what if Gabriel had been the center of attention today? In the end, wasn't he just setting the stage for someone else? At the end of the day, he was nothing more than a nobody.Gabriel slammed his fist on the table, springing to his feet in a fury, "Mr. Gordon! You're a man of your stature, representing the Gordon family. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for being so untrustworthy and deceitful?!"At that moment, Gabriel was truly furious.Previously, their backtracking was understandable, given it was for the sake of treating his daughter.With Sebastian's renowned reputation, it made sense to trust him more. But now, things were entirely different.Even after he had cured Sophia, they still dared to go back on their word. It was

    "Treating her is possible, but I expect General Gordon to keep his word afterward," Gabriel stated with a firm resolve. He strode confidently to the jade bed and carefully lifted the unconscious Sophia.With expert precision, Gabriel maneuvered his needles, using an enigmatic technique to pierce thirteen critical points on Sophia's body. As the silver needles began to spin, he suddenly struck her back with a sharp "Thwack!"Sophia's body shuddered, her head jerked back, and she suddenly expelled several white crystals.The crystals were murky, bone-chilling to the touch, and continuously exhaled a frosty mist."Crystallized cold energy?!" Sebastian's expression shifted dramatically.No wonder his acupuncture had been ineffective; the accumulated cold energy had solidified into crystal blocks.These crystals were the sinister source, endlessly emitting cold energy.And that was why he couldn't cure her!Just as everyone was caught in a whirlwin

    "Hey there, I'm really sorry for dragging you all the way here for nothing." Melanie pulled Timothy aside, her face full of apology. "If Sophia turns out to be fine, I'll see what I can do about the Longevity Fruit and try to get it for you."After all, Timothy had saved her daughter, and she owed him a debt of gratitude."Thank you, Ms. Gordon." Timothy's expression softened, finally, someone who talked sense! It was a relief!Frank waved a hand, "Dr. Gunter, no time to waste, please go ahead."Dr. Gunter nodded, saying nothing, as he sat beside the jade bed and began to check Sophia's pulse.Moments later, Dr. Gunter confidently declared, "If my diagnosis is correct, the patient's constitution is extremely cold, plagued by cold energy for years. Now, her body has accumulated toxins. Once the cold poison is expelled, she will naturally recover."Frank was full of hope, "So, Dr. Gunter, you have a way to treat her?"Dr. Gunter smiled faintly, "It's

    As Gabriel made his way back to Cloppe Heights, he was met with the sight of a bustling crowd of doctors.These weren't just any doctors; they were the crème de la crème of Calonia's medical elite.As soon as Gabriel stepped through the door, Melanie greeted him warmly, "Hey there, young man! Finally, you're here! Come on in, don't keep us waiting!"Gabriel felt a momentary wave of awkwardness wash over him.Frank, however, maintained his stern demeanor, "You say you can cure my daughter. Is that for real?""Of course," Gabriel replied with a faint smile. "If I'm here, it's because I know I can do it. I just hope Mr. Gordon will keep his promise."Frank responded coolly, "Fine, but only if you've got what it takes.""You'll see soon enough." Gabriel didn't elaborate further and quickly moved to the jade bed to diagnose Sophia.As he had suspected, Sophia had the rare and elusive Extreme Cold Physique. With this body type, if she
