Chapter 56: You’ve Been Poisoned

Joshua, Jackson and Helena were shocked. They had not expected Zander to react like that.

Had they known how much Zander suffered because of his malignant disease and how tormented he was by his illness, they would not have been so surprised to see such a reaction from him.

?

“If I cure you, will you still press charges against Jeremy?” Clarence asked.

Zander hurriedly shook his head. “Master Howard, if you really can heal me, I’ll never bother the Hayes family ever again!”

“Okay, let’s see what I can do. Please take a seat.”

Clarence gently nodded his head and got to work.

Zander sat on a wooden chair and laid his hands flat on the armrests, following Clarence’s orders.

Clarence swiftly took out his silver needles and inserted them into Zander.

In front of everyone’s eyes, Clarence placed seven needles into Zander’s calves, shoulders, cervical spine, and chest.

Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture consisted of thirteen needles in total, and Clarence had placed seven needles in a row—already more than half of them.

One could imagine how serious Zander’s illness was.

Once Clarence inserted the needles, Zander felt a warm sensation spread across his legs and his chest. Even his shoulders, which had always been sore, suddenly felt relaxed and strong. He felt incredibly refreshed and energized.

Half an hour later, Zander felt a burst of relief washing over his body.

Clarence withdrew the silver needles. “How does it feel?”

“Master Howard, thank you so much! What exactly was that horrible illness?” Zander was excited.

Only Zander knew how amazing it felt to have been cured after Clarence used those seven silver needles on him. The others in the room had no idea, but a patient knew his own body best.

Zander felt like he had been born again!

The Hayes family were dumbfounded by what they just witnessed.

How could Zander not know what disease he had?

Clarence said indifferently, “When you went to the hospital for examination, they just told you that you had the precursors of a stroke, right?”

“Yes, yes! The doctor advised me to quit smoking and drinking!”

Zander nodded his head repeatedly and pricked his ears up to listen carefully to Clarence’s diagnosis.

Clarence’s work just a moment ago had completely convinced him of the young man’s power.

Clarence shook his head. “Ordinary doctors certainly wouldn’t be able to know why your body behaved the way it did.

“It was because your life essence was slowly flowing away.

“It was just a minor problem at first!

“Unfortunately, you took too many painkillers and started eating ginseng regularly. None of those things are meant to be done regularly or casually.

“Originally you only had a minor illness and were feeling just a bit of pain, but after eating these things, what you had turned into a major disease!

“Luckily, you met me before it was too late. Good thing I was able to cure you.”

Clarence’s knowledge of The 720 Acupuncture Points Of A Human Body, combined with his x-ray vision, allowed him to see through Zander’s body and take a good guess at Zander’s illness.

Back then, Clarence did not know a single thing about medicine at all.

He didn’t know a shred of information about the medical arts.

However, since that fateful night, when Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture and The 720 Acupuncture Points Of A Human Body had appeared in Clarence’s mind seemingly out of nowhere...

Now, once he took a look at a patient’s condition, he would instantly be able to tell what the patient was ill with, and how it should be treated. It all appeared instantly in his mind.

Clarence only needed to subconsciously say the word, and everything would be taken care of.

“Mr Zander, you really believe what he says?”

Helena was a little surprised. “This kid’s a charlatan!”

Although Zander was no longer pursuing charges against her son, Helena simply could not accept Clarence’s sudden transformation.

He was clearly an insignificant loser. How had he suddenly become a miracle doctor?

“Shut up. If he’s a charlatan, then how did he save my life?” Joshua Hayes gave Helena a cold glance.

“Dad!” Helena protested.

“Silence!” Joshua Hayes said indifferently, then beamed at Clarence. “Master Howard, sorry for the incident just now. There’s clearly been a misunderstanding.”

“Haha.”

Clarence smiled and did not say any more. Joshua Hayes was such a sly old fox.

Just a few moments ago, his son and daughter-in-law were both demanding Clarence to take the blame and be jailed. The old fox had not said a word. Then, when he saw that Clarence had cured Zander’s illness, he suddenly turned into a different person.

He was flipping sides faster than a fish thrown out of water!

Clarence was done. He no longer wanted to be involved with the Hayes family.

The Hayes family had shown their true nature today. They were ready to throw anyone convenient under the bus whenever it suited them. Clarence found their behavior unacceptable.

Johnson Golding was a bit puzzled. “Master Howard, you’re alright with all this?”

Except for Clarence, everyone shot Johnson a cold glare. He quickly shut his mouth. He knew he had no right to say such a thing here.

Zander seemed impatient. “Okay, you guys are all talking too much nonsense.”

His head turned to focus on Clarence, his impatience transforming into a large grin. “Master Howard, please tell me what was going wrong with me.”

“It’s not the most appropriate to speak here. I’ll talk to you outside.” Clarence said, after thinking about it and shaking his head gently.

“Talk outside?” Zander froze before nodding his head.

After all, they were still in the Hayes’ family’s manor. There were too many people and too many eyes around to air one’s dirty laundry out.

At the same time, it was also a display of how differently Clarence and the Hayes family both treated outsiders.

Clarence, Zander and Johnson ignored Joshua’s plea for them to stay, and left the Hayes manor.

“Dad, why are you asking Clarence to stay? Zander is no longer suing Jeremy, isn’t that a good thing?” Helena yapped.

Joshua angrily shot back, “You stupid b*tch! Do you not know what Zander’s status is like nowadays?

“Plus, this Clarence’s medical skills are no joke!

“There are huge benefits to befriending him!

“You shouldn’t have told him to take the blame!”

Helena cooed, “When I asked him to take the blame just now, I didn’t see you objecting!”

“What did you say? Are you trying to piss me off? Find a chance to apologize properly to Master Howard!” Joshua glared at his daughter-in-law, with only the smallest bit of remorse in his heart.

“Dad, what’s the big deal with that guy?

“Sure, he knows a thing or two about medicine, but so what?

“In today’s society, it’s all about connections, background, and abilities. I’ve never heard of anyone relying solely on medical skills to do anything!

“Do we really need to curry favor with that kind of person?” Jackson also looked indifferent. In his heart, he believed that as long as he could make Zander go away, his son Jeremy would be fine.

As for Clarence, there was no need to spare him a second thought.

“You guys… ugh!”

Joshua felt as if he had aged more than ten years. He sighed helplessly, “I’m afraid it might already be too late for us to ever befriend him now.”

After leaving the Hayes family’s manor, Zander stood by the road and eagerly asked, “Master Howard, so what was wrong with me?”

“You’ve been poisoned.” Clarence patted his shoulder.

“What? Poisoned?!” Zander’s eyes widened in shock.
