At that moment Jessica's lips curved into a mocking smile.

“Oh, this is rich.”

Her perfectly manicured nails tapped against the doorframe. “How much did it cost to rent the car and hire this... assistant?”

She said with a mockery tone.

However Damien did listen to her, he rose quietly from his seat, straightening his simple robes. “Uncle Bernard, thank you for your hospitality.”

“But Damien, we haven't even had tea—”

Uncle Bernard started.

Bernard at that moment just smiled.

“Some matters can't wait.”

He bowed respectfully.

“I'll visit again when time permits.”

immediately Jessica laughter followed him down the path.

“Did you really think we'd fall for such an obvious act? A village doctor with a Phantom Spirit Ultra?”

Damien didn't pause or turn back, simply nodding once to the driver as he stepped into the vehicle.

The car purred away, leaving Jessica and her mother standing in the doorway.

“Can you believe his nerves?”

Jessica turned to her mother, her voice dripping with disdain.

“Hiring actors and renting luxury cars just to impress us!”

Her mother's laugh tinkled.

“Such desperation! As if we wouldn't see right through it, he's as foolish as I thought.”

“That young man Damein,”

Uncle Bernard's quiet voice cut through their amusement.

“has never needed to pretend to be anything other than what he is.”

“Oh, Father,”

Jessica rolled her eyes.

“You're too trusting. He's clearly just a—”

“The Damien I know,”

Uncle Bernard continued firmly, “would rather walk than rent a car for show.”

Upon hearing what Sir Bernard just said.

Jessica and her mother exchanged knowing looks before dissolving into laughter again, their certainty in their own judgment leaving no room for doubt.

“The herbs are prepared.”

Dr. Kyle arranged his instruments on a silver tray, each movement precise and practiced.

“We should begin immediately.”

Sophia watched the steam rise from the medicinal decoction, her heart started pounding.

The treatment would save her grandfather's life, yes, but at what cost? he might be in coma, The memory of what Damien said to them still tugged at her thoughts.

“Wait.”

Her voice cracked slightly. “Please... just wait a moment.”

Upon hearing what Sophia just said Dr. Kyle hands stilled over his instruments.

“Miss Sophia,”

His tone carried decades of authority.

“Every minute we delay—”

Sophia didn't allow Dr. Kyle to finish his words when she interrupted him.

“I've called another doctor.”

immediately the room temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

Dr. Kyle straightened slowly, his distinguished features started darkening.

“Another doctor?”

“Sophia!”

Her father stepped forward, his face flushed with anxiety.

“What are you thinking? Dr. Kyle has cleared his entire schedule for us, and it took the grace of Young Master Landon to make this possible and you—”

“The clinic this morning,”

she rushed to explain, pulling out the card Damien gave to her.

And face her brother.

“Remember? The young doctor who knew Grandfather's symptoms just from a cough?”

“A village doctor?”

Her father's voice rose in disbelief. “You're risking Dr. Kyle treatment because of a low life village doctor —”

“He knew, grandfather problem.”

Sophia's fingers tightened around the card.

“He knew exactly when Grandfather's condition would worsen. The timing, the symptoms... everything happened exactly as he predicted. Everything.”

At that moment Sophia's father's fingers tightened on his armrest, uncertainty flickering across his face.

“The Legendary Master Raymond clinic, you say?”

At that moment Sophia's brother wouldn't keep calm.

“Father, she's being fooled! it was just a lucky guess, nothing more. This... village doctor probably sees dozens of similar cases.”

Dr. Kyle who has been trying to make sure the words didn't get to him, by measuring herbs with meticulous care.

However, hearing what Miss Sophia just said he suddenly looked up.

His eyes sparkled with poorly concealed excitement.

“Master Raymond himself? The legendary healer is coming?”

“No...”

Sophia's voice grew small.

“Just... just a young doctor from his clinic.”

They watched Dr. Kyle enthusiasm drain away like water.

His lips pressed into a thin line as he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

“It's disrespectful to think a mere assistant can do better than me? Really, Miss Sophia, this is beneath me and it's an insult.”

At that moment the silence grew heavy as Dr. Kyle set down his measuring spoon with deliberate precision.

“I must be frank. Either I proceed now, or I leave. Choose.”

Upon hearing what Dr Kyle just said

Mr. Oliver's face paled. His eyes darted between his daughter and the renowned physician not wanting to take any chances he decided to agree.

“Dr. Kyle, please, begin the—”

At that moment a voice Interrupted them.

“Stop!.”

The quiet command cut through the room.

At that moment Damien in simple healer's robes stood in the doorway, his presence carrying an inexplicable weight.

“This treatment,”

he stated, his eyes fixed on the herbs, “will trap your grandfather in eternal sleep. He will never wake.”

Upon hearing what Damien just said Dr Kyle eyes turned deadly immediately, he couldn't believe a newbie would dare write off his method of treatment.

Dr. Kyle's face flushed deep red. “You dare—!”

“Guards!”

Mr. Oliver said and pointed at Damien.

“Remove this imposter at once!”

“Father, no!”

Sophia rushed forward, placing herself between the guards and Damien.

“This is him – the doctor I told you about. The one who knew everything about Grandfather's condition from just a single cough.”

“Since you hold my master's exclusive card,”

Damien voice carried a quiet edge, “I will honor his promise, that is the reason I'm here”

Without another word, Damien stepped forward, removing an ancient jade flask from his robe. Without a word, he poured three drops of clear liquid into the air – but instead of falling, they hung suspended. His fingers moved in intricate patterns, and the drops began to orbit each other, forming the ancient symbol for

“life.”

“Impossible...”

Dr. Kyle whispered, his medical bag falling forgotten from his hands. “The Celestial Dew Technique? It vanished with the last imperial physician five centuries ago.”

The luminous drops suddenly shot forward, absorbed instantly into three precise points on the patient's body – throat, heart, and forehead.

“Remove him from all other medicines,”

Damien said quietly, already turning to leave.

“When the frost patterns fade at sunrise tomorrow, he will wake, fully healed.”

At that moment Dr. Kyle stumbled forward, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe he just saw a technique he had long aspired to learn but never came close to master it.

They couldn't believe that they were actually going to have to concede defeat. Not like this. Not in this situation.One man's hand unconsciously went to his pocket where his car keys were. Another man touched his wrist where his expensive watch sat. A third man's face went pale as he thought about what he had wagered.They had all literally bet so much. Some of them had placed their cars on the line - their precious luxury vehicles that they had worked years to afford.Some had bet their Lamborghinis, their sleek sports cars that turned heads wherever they drove. The thought of handing over those keys made them feel physically sick.Some had wagered their limited edition cars, rare models that couldn't be replaced even with money. Vehicles that were one of only ten or twe

    At that moment, nobody in the room said another word. The silence was deafening and heavy, pressing down on everyone like a suffocating blanket.The men who had been so eager to point at Timothy just seconds ago now avoided his desperate gaze. They looked at the floor, at the walls, at anything except his pleading eyes.That was when Timothy shouted at them again, his voice cracking with desperation and betrayal. “Why are you literally pointing at me? Why me?”His hands shook as he gestured wildly around the room. “Why didn't you point at yourselves? Are you not strong enough to literally take on this challenge?”Timothy's voice became higher and more frantic. “Are you not brave enough to test yourselves against this lady? Why must it always be me?”He looked at each man individually, searching their faces for any sign of support or loyalty. “We came here together! We made these accusations together! So why am I the only one who has to face the consequences?”But the other guests

    At that moment, upon seeing what just happened, how all of the guards literally collapsed while holding their necks and screaming in agony before they fell lifeless to the floor, Mr. Timothy and all the remaining guests felt their world turn upside down.Their eyes widened in complete shock, pupils dilating with pure terror. Their jaws literally dropped open so far it looked like their faces might break. Some of them started trembling uncontrollably.They couldn't believe what they were seeing with their own eyes. They couldn't process what had just happened right in front of them in broad daylight.Mr. Timothy's hands shook as he stared at the bodies scattered across his expensive carpet. These weren't just random security guards he had hired off the street. These were elite professionals.Not a single blow had been thrown by anyone. Not a single slap had been delivered. Not even a single physical confrontation had taken place between his guards and the ladies.Yet somehow, all of hi

    Mr. Timothy immediately continued, his voice growing louder and more aggressive with each word. “This cheap trick cannot literally work on me! I refuse to fall for such obvious nonsense!”He tapped his chest proudly. “I have far more experience than this. I have been in business for over thirty years. I have seen so many things in my life, even more impressive things than this little door-breaking stunt!”His eyes swept across the room, challenging anyone to disagree with him. “So this is definitely not going to work on me. Never! I know a con when I see one!”Mr. Timothy walked back toward the center of the room, his confidence seemingly restored despite the evidence everyone had just witnessed with their own eyes.“So then,” he said with a mocking smile spreading across his face, “since the two ladies who were claiming that they were literally the heiress, literally the head of the family that guards the West Gate, since they have conveniently left us, what happens now?”He gestur

    She then continued speaking with more urgency in her voice. “It is very very important that I go there because Damien had already spoken to us and we are on a special mission.”Rebecca's expression became more serious. “But we cannot say anything concerning the mission right now. It's confidential and sensitive.”She looked at her watch again, her face showing worry.“Time is running out. Every little moment we spend here is going to literally result in us being late.”Rebecca shook her head. “And we don't want anybody at the gathering to raise an eyebrow or start asking questions about why we're not there on time.”She touched Sophia's arm gently. “So Stella and I will have to leave right now.”At that moment, hearing what Rebecca said, Sophia nodded her head quickly. “No problem, I understand. You have to go.”But before she could say another word, worry filled her face completely. She was very much concerned about what would happen next.If Rebecca and Stella literally left thi

    At that moment, upon hearing what one of the guests just said, Mr. Timothy's mind started working quickly. He looked at the suggestion closely, analyzing every angle of it.Deep down he knew fully well that the other guests who were here tonight weren't literally buying into his original plan completely. Some of them were just watching to see what would happen. Others were starting to have doubts.He was the one who had been literally pushing everything from behind, manipulating the situation to get what he wanted. And yes, this new idea was actually a very good way out for everyone.Because looking at these guests standing in front of him, these young ladies who looked so delicate and harmless, there was absolutely no way that any of them would be able to defeat his strong bodyguards.These weren't just ordinary bodyguards that he hired from the street. No, they were also the best of the best when it came to their respective agencies. He had paid top money for them. They were trained
