Meanwhile, at the Whitmore mansion, 01:15 AM.

Charles Whitmore sat on his luxurious living room sofa, holding a glass of whiskey while staring at his phone with an anxious gaze.

It had been over an hour past the time Viktor promised.

It should have been finished by now.

Viktor should have already reported.

Charles looked at the large wall clock in the living room—the short hand pointed to 1, the long hand to 3.

01:15.

"Why is it taking so long?" he thought impatiently. "Just to capture one usel

    Night. Morgan Residence dining room.The dining table that was usually filled with warm and lively atmosphere now felt cold, like winter that suddenly arrived.That was because Lein was among them, and most of them didn't like his presence.Sarah had already checked into a hotel since this afternoon, giving privacy to Celine and her family.Lein sat beside Celine with a calm posture. His face flat as usual, unaffected by the cold gazes directed at him from various directions.Cedric looked at him with a sharp gaze. Vivienne didn't even glance at him at all. Silas occasionally snorted quietly. Marsha cut her steak with rough motions, as if she were cutting something else. Only Augustus smiled warmly at Lein.Celine sat beside Lein with an anxious face. Her hands occasionally squeezing the napkin in her lap.Seeing Lein receive so many cold gazes from her family, guilt began filling her chest."This is all my fault. Lein shouldn't have to endure all this. Instead of repaying my debt to

    Adrian got into his luxurious sports car with rough movements. The door slammed shut hard.SLAM!His hands gripped the steering wheel with terrifying force. Veins in his hands protruding. Face completely red."DAMN IT!" he shouted inside the empty car.This was the greatest humiliation of his life!Rejected for a poor man. Kicked out of the Morgan Family home. Told to tattle to grandfather.Embarrassing!With brutal movements, he stepped on the gas.VROOM!The car sped at high speed away from the Morgan Family residence, cutting through Silverlake's streets at speeds that broke limits.Red lights ignored. Other cars' horns ignored.

    Augustus looked at Adrian with a sharp gaze. Then spoke in a loud voice, full of power, "Tell your grandfather that his grandson has become insolent!"Adrian flinched. Eyes widening with shock.Augustus continued in an increasingly cold tone, "Tell him to punish you! Because you dared to threaten his friend!"The entire room fell into suffocating silence. Adrian stood frozen. His face completely pale."My grandfather's friend? Augustus Morgan is friends with my grandfather?"He didn't know. No one told him. And now he had threatened his own grandfather's friend.No wonder back then his grandfather asked him to marry Celine. He didn't ask the reason and immediately agreed. Having a new toy who's a superstar? Who wouldn't want that?And who knew his grandfather was actually friends with Augustus.At this point, Augustus turned to face all the Morgan Family members with a disappointed gaze."You," he said in a loud but controlled voice, "don't care about Celine's happiness."His eyes swe

    Augustus lay there for a few moments, eyes staring at the ceiling with a blank gaze.Then, slowly, his hand moved. Touching his chest, pressing gently.No pain.No shortness of breath.No pressure in the lungs.His hand moved to his stomach, pressing slightly.The stomach that was previously hard and full of fluid now felt normal, soft, no swelling.His legs moved. Legs that were previously severely swollen now felt light.Augustus sat up slowly. His breath came out easily, deeply, and steadily. No gasping. No coughing. No feeling of weakness.His eyes widened with a realization that hit like lightning.He... was cured.He was really cured!There was only a slight itch in his throat from the black fluid that had just come out. Otherwise, he had returned to his prime condition.No! Even more than that. He felt better than his prime condition.In his eighty years of life, he had never felt this good.Energy flowed throughout his body. His mind was clear. His body was light. His breathin

    Lein stood beside the bed, looking at Augustus with absolute focus.His hand moved to the leather bag, taking out a small box containing twelve acupuncture needles still in sterile packaging.With very precise movements, he opened the packaging one by one, placing the needles on the clean white cloth that the Morgan Family had prepared."Old Master Morgan," Lein said in a calm but authoritative tone, "I will insert needles at several vital points. You may feel a warm sensation, but it won't hurt."Augustus nodded weakly, his eyes looking at Lein with full trust.Lein took the first needle. His fingers moved with perfect precision, placing the needle tip exactly at the Baihui point at the top of Augustus's head.PRICK.The needle went in smoothly.Augustus blinked. No pain, just a strange cold sensation.Lein continued. The second and third needles were inserted at the Tanzhong point, right in the middle of the chest, between both nipples. This was for the heart.The fourth and fifth n

    After a silence that felt like eternity, Augustus finally spoke. His voice weak, trembling, but clear."Y-you... are correct."Two simple words that made the entire room seem to explode in an even deeper silence.Celine looked at her grandfather with wide eyes. Vivienne covered her mouth with a trembling hand. Cedric stepped back with a completely pale face.Adrian stood frozen in the corner of the room, the victorious smile on his face completely gone.Lein stepped closer to the bed with calm movements. His face remained professional, but there was a thin smile appearing at the corner of his lips."Now," he said in a gentle but confident tone, "do you believe that I can cure you?"Augustus looked at Lein with a hopeful gaze. The gaze of someone who had given up on death, but suddenly saw a glimmer of light.He nodded, slowly but surely."Yes... I believe."His voice trembled with emotion."You... you are a real doctor."Lein nodded with satisfaction, then turned to face all the Morga
