Chapter 6 Thirteen Needles of Hell
- Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Cole arrived before Angus. After checking his condition, Cole had an answer in mind.
- "Stop pretending. I'll make sure you crawl your way out of here." Thiago sneered, not believing that Cole had any fundamental skills.
- The next moment, Cole took out a silver needle and inserted it directly into Angus. When he did that, the crowd was stunned and glued their eyes to him.
- "That kid is too bold. How could he just insert a needle like that?"
- However, Gabriel's eyes widened as they focused on Cole's actions.
- Exuding a faint aura, Cole gently inserted the silver needles into eighteen acupoints on Angus' body. Following his every touch, those auras would enter Angus' body like butterflies soaring through the flower bed, creating a dazzling scene.
- "Could… Could this be the Thirteen Needles of Hell?" Gabriel's eyes widened like saucers as though his eyeballs were about to pop out.
- He soon denied that thought because that particular acupuncture style had been long lost for thousands of years. How big is that kid? How could he have learned that technique? That's impossible!
- Still, that unique acupuncture style, his ability to judge and control his needle precision, and the slowly emerging red string were all skills only a master physician would have. This brat is more complex than he seems!
- As time passed, Angus' face slowly regained color as his weak vitality gradually returned with his stable breathing.
- As Gabriel watched the event unfold, his body trembled even more. With his eyes fixed on Cole's every action, he stammered, "Excuse me, but what style of acupuncture are you using?"
- "Thirteen Needles of Hell!" Cole answered without looking at him.
- "So, it is the Thirteen Needles of Hell!" Gabriel was so shocked that his fingers began to quiver uncontrollably. "I didn't expect to witness such an amazing acupuncture style in my life! I won't have any regrets even if I die now! Regardless of the results, the technique you just used shows that I've lost. I've lost fair and square!" He slumped onto the floor.
- At that moment, a loud smack was heard as Cole slammed his palm on top of Angus' head.
- "Pfft!" Angus violently spat out a mouthful of black-colored blood!
- What's this? everyone wondered.
- "Old Mr. Young has a hidden injury that has been hiding inside his body for many years, blocking his meridians and causing his body to fake death. That's why he was exhibiting the symptoms you saw. I used the silver needles to break up the clotted blood in his body so he would wake up after three minutes."
- After Cole said that, he turned around and left the room. While treating Angus, he felt the phone inside his pocket vibrate continuously. He suspected Anna had woken up and was anxiously trying to contact him.
- Meanwhile, it took the crowd a long while before returning from their dazed state.
- "You bunch of idiots! How could Dad possibly wake up? That brat is finding an excuse to escape. Hahaha! You guys should start preparing for Dad's funeral!" Thiago laughed hysterically.
- "Who said I was gonna die?"
- At that moment, a majestic voice sounded, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
- They saw that Angus had woken up at some point and was sitting in bed. His complexion looked better while his eyes seemed alert, looking spritely. How could such a person be near death?
- "Grandpa!" Madison instantly began shedding tears of joy while throwing herself at him.
- Meanwhile, the other members of the Young Family were also in joy, leaving only Thiago dumbfounded! "You're awake? That's impossible. How can this be?"
- "Maddy, I'm alright!" Angus looked at her dotingly before turning to Gabriel, asking, "Were you the doctor who cured me?"
- "Old Mr. Young, it wasn't me!" Gabriel laughed bitterly and explained shamefully, "It was a young man!"
- A young man? Angus was shocked. Could a young man have such extraordinary medical skills? I know my condition well.
- Back in the day, he was ambushed by an enemy, leaving him with a persistent condition. He found all sorts of doctors in Broynia, but none of them could cure his sickness.
- During the treatment earlier, he could vividly feel his body gradually restoring its vitality. Such a technique resembled bringing someone back from the dead. It was simply astonishing!
- "Where is he?" Angus asked.
- "He left."
- "What? He left? Why didn't you ask that miracle doctor to stay longer?"
- Although Angus was a big shot in Elliswall, he was defenseless against death. If he could meet such a miracle-working doctor, the Young Family might become the wealthiest family in Elliswall!
- "Maddy, do whatever you need to and befriend him. Also, give him Benevolence Hospital!"
- Gasp! What did he just say? Give Benevolence Hospital to that young man?!
- The Youngs were all shocked!
- "Grandpa, wouldn't Benevolence Hospital be too expensive for a gift?"
- Madison was confused. Grandpa is giving away too much!
- "You don't understand the situation!" While shaking his head, Angus looked dazed as he explained, "That young man is not as simple as he seems! It's just Benevolence Hospital. I can even give him half of the Young Family's riches!"
- The crowd descended into silence, for Angus was the head of the family, and they needed to listen to him.
- "When I was unconscious, I seemed to have heard someone talking about a will?"
- Everyone gazed at Thiago in unison.
- "Thiago, didn't you say that was a business contract?"
- "Dad, I was wrong! Please forgive me." Thiago was so scared that he kneeled on the floor, drenched in sweat.
- "Forgive you?" Angus gave him a cold stare. "You ungrateful brat! I trusted you, but you dared to fake my will and tried to steal the Young Family's inheritance! Someone, break his limbs and throw him away from here!"
- "No, Dad. Please, I was wrong!"
- While Thiago was screaming for his life, he was pulled away by two bulky men in black clothing. From then on, his life was no different from hell…
- …
- After exiting the Young Residence, Cole answered the call.
- "Anna Brown, where have you been? Why didn't I see you at the Fragrant Delight Restaurant? Did you forget that your aunt invited us to a meal there to celebrate her son-in-law's promotion? Get over here immediately."
- The call was not from Anna but from her mom, Lila Thomas.
- Just as he was about to speak, the call was mercilessly cut off. He did not feel like attending the banquet, but as soon as he thought it might make Anna look bad if she had agreed to show up, he hailed a cab and went straight to the restaurant.
