    Chapter 25


    With a bag of fresh fruits, Han hurried toward the Emergency Department as if his life depended


    on it.


    After giving Den a piece of his mind, Han was ready to head home when his phone rang. It was


    his sister, Felicia, urgently informing him that her child was sick and had been admitted to the hospital.


    Han didn’t waste a second and quickly grabbed some fresh fruits before rushing to the hospital.


    Nothing else mattered as he focused solely on getting to his sister’s child as fast as possible.


    “Sir!”


    Han had just arrived at the hospital and was on his way to the pediatric ward when Sterling Kwen


    rushed up to him. Without hesitation, Sterling fell to his knees and clung to Han’s legs, tears


    streaming down his face. “Thank goodness, I finally found you, sir,” Sterling sobbed. “Please, please


    help me.”


    “Who are you?” Han asked, feeling a bit bewildered by Sterling’s sudden outburst.


    “Who is this person?” he thought to himself. “I don’t even know him.”


    “I’m Sterling, a doctor here at the hospital. Do you remember me?” Sterling asked, hoping to jog


    Han’s memory. “You used acupuncture to save an old man who copsed on the street not too long


    ago.


    “The old man’s condition has worsened, and we desperately need your help to save him,” Sterling


    implored, looking up at Han with tear-filled


    eyes.


    “Please, Sir, I implore you to help us save the old man’s life.”


    Sterling wasted no time getting straight to the point and clearly exined the situation to Han.


    “His condition has worsened? Did you take out the silver needles I inserted into him?” Han furrowed


    his brow in confusion.


    “I didn’t realize how crucial the silver needles were. I’m sorry.” Sterling apologized, his voice filled with


    regret.


    Han’s expression turned icy as he spoke. “Why bothering to me if you won’t listen to my


    advice? I have urgent matters to attend to and can’t waste my time ying games,” he said,


    dismissively waving his hand.


    With that, he turned to leave to visit his sister, his mind still preupied with the urgent matters at


    hand.


    Sterling quickly grabbed Han’s leg, desperately pleading, “Sir, please, if you don’t intervene, the


    patient’s family will kill us all.


    “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have underestimated you. I’m such a terrible person!


    “Please!”


    After speaking, he even harshly pped himself in the face, tears streaming down as he desperately


    pleaded.

    Han furrowed his brow slightly but eventually relented, his voice low. “Alright, take me there.”


    Sterling was overjoyed and quickly wiped away his tears, leading Han to the emergency room to


    save the patient.


    As soon as Han stepped into the emergency room, his gaze fell on the patient lying on the bed,


    Dominic. His expression turned cold, and he approached the bed with an air of authority.

    Christor 25


    “Sure enough, the silver needle in Dominic’s heart acupoint has been removed,” Han thought with. a


    cold smirk.


    “Sir!”


    Lucy’s eyes lit up as she saw Han. She immediately rushed over, grabbed his hand, and pleaded,


    “Please, you have to save my grandpa… he’s dying”


    She cried with tears streaming down her face, evoking sympathy from those around her.


    *Rx, I’m here now. Your grandfather will be okay.”


    Han gently touched her hair andforted her in a soft voice.


    Han couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion as he saw Lucy, as she reminded him of his little sister.


    He looked at her with tender affection, wanting to do everything he could to help her.


    Everyone present was dumbfounded at the sight.


    They whispered to each other, “Isn’t Miss Zabel the wealthy heiress of the Zabel family? How dare the


    man touch her hair like that?


    “It’s simply too audacious and presumptuous!”


    “Lucy, is this the so-called divine healer you mentioned?”


    Shawn intervened and forcefully pushed Han’s hand away, shooting him a cold, suspicious nce.


    Shawn’s face darkened as he continued to observe Han. “I don’t think this young man has the skills.


    to be a real divine healer, and certainly not capable enough to save my father’s life.”


    “Is that so, Dad? I saw it with my own eyes. Grandpa recovered after just a few needles from him,”


    Lucy said.


    “Miss Zabel, don’t let yourself be taken for a ride. This guy here seems to be nothing more than at


    street chatan, a phony!” William dered in a frigid tone.


    Han nced at them and put the fruits aside. “Whether I am or not, let’s try to find out,” he said.


    With his words said, Han walked toward Dominic, took out his silver needles, and prepared to


    start treatment.


    “Listen up, youngster. Do you really think a few silver needles can save someone’s life? Well, let me


    make it clear, if you mess up and cause any harm, you’ll be held ountable!” Charlie warned, looking


    at Han with a stern expression.


    He secretly rejoiced in his heart, “I was worried that I couldn’t find a scapegoat, but now the youngster


    has stepped forward to treat Old Mr. Zabel. So I can easily shift the me for the ineffective rescue


    onto him, make him take the fall, and bear the wrath of the Zabel family.”


    “I know!” Han said firmly.


    Charlie sneered. “Hah! Acupuncture for curing illnesses? What nonsense! Traditional medicine is at


    load of rubbish. If acupuncture can be used for emergency treatment, I’ll dly chop off my head and


    let you use it as a football!” He looked at Han with a look of contempt.


    He believed that traditional medicine was utterly inadequate in emergencies.


    Moreover, he believed that Han, being so unknown and unremarkable, must be a fraudster.


    In response, Han’s eyes turned cold as he stared at Charlie and said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll


    remember those words.”


    His anger red as he thought, “I can tolerate insults directed at me, but insulting traditional medicine is


    uneptable!”


    He took a deep breath and prepared to make his move, determined to prove that traditional


    18.38 1


    medicine was still a powerful force.


    “Wait a minute!” Shawn eximed in a deep voice.


    He remained skeptical of Han’s abilities and was unwilling to take any chances.


    “Dad, I trust him. Let him treat Grandpa,” Lucy asserted.


    Shawn furrowed his eyebrows, intending to say something more, but Han had already sprung into


    action.


    Han was quicker this time, with his hands moving as fast as a fluttering butterfly as he inserted silver


    needles into the acupoints around Dominic’s heart.


    [Buzz!]


    As soon as the silver needles pierced Dominic’s skin, they emitted a faint white light.


    At the same time, the silver needles emitted a buzzing sound.


    “What?”


    As he witnessed this scene, William, the renowned traditional medicine divine physician, widened his


    eyes in disbelief. “Needle radiance, needle sonic… how is this possible?”


    “Mr. Hawk, what’s going on?” Charlie asked, puzzled.


    Shawn, Lucy, and others were also puzzled.


    “Needle radiance, needle sonic,” eximed William, his eyes wide with disbelief. “These are skills that


    only a grand master of medicine, with profound inner strength and unparalleled medical expertise, can


    unleash!”


    He looked at Han with a shocked expression and trembled, “As far as I know, there are no more


    than ten divine healers in the country who can produce needle radiance and needle sonic with such


    profound internal strength and medical skills.”


    “Among them, Maxwell Rivers, the Master of the Divine Healers Sect, is one of the few who can do it,”


    he said, staring at Han in awe.


    “Wow!”


    His words caused a stir among the crowd.


    All eyes turned to Han, their gazes filled with newfound respect and admiration.


    Maxwell Rivers, the Master of the Divine Healers Sect, was a national treasure and a medical god who


    could steady the world with his exceptional skills.


    It was astonishing that William would evenpare Han to Maxwell, which showed just how


    extraordinary Han’s medical skills must be.


    Suddenly, William stared intently at the needles that Han had just inserted, his eyes filled with shock


    as he eximed, “The Eighteen Needles of Exorcism!”


    “That’s incredible! Hasn’t this acupuncture skill been lost for over 300 years? How could he possibly


    know this technique?” William eximed in disbelief.


    “What is the Eighteen Needles of Exorcism, Mr. Hawk?” Lucy asked curiously, turning to William Hawk.


    The Eighteen Needles of Exorcism is an ancient acupuncture skill that can supposedly eliminate any


    evil or demonic presence in the body and has the miraculous ability to heal patients on the verge of


    death,” William exined.


    His gaze was fixated on the 18 silver needles as they fell from Han’s hand. His excitement was so


    palpable that it made his beard stick up. “I would never have imagined I’d have the privilege of


    pter 25


    witnessing this today,” he eximed. “It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I can now die


    without regrets.”


    Tears streamed down his face as he spoke.


    Upon hearing William’s exnation, Shawn, Lucy, Charlie, Sterling, and the others looked at each


    other in confusion.


    Their curiosity was piqued. “Is there really such a miraculous acupuncture skill in the world?” they


    wondered.


    [Beep beep…]


    Just as they were puzzled and bewildered with Han’s treatment, the data on the electrocardiogram


    monitor began to change continuously, gradually shifting from the red danger line to the normal green


    line.


    The ECG slowly shifted from its heart attack indication to a normal waveform.


    Dominic’s breathing became steady and smooth.


    His pale face gradually regained color, and a healthy flush spread across his cheeks.


    “He’s fine!”


    “Great, he really survived!”


    “How amazing, he really can bring people back to life!”


    Upon seeing this scene, Shawn, and the others, were overjoyed, thrilled almost to the point of jumping


    up and down in excitement.


    “What the…”


    Charlie looked at Dominic, who hade back to life, with an expression of disbelief. His mouth. hung


    open in shock, and he was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t even utter a word.


    He couldn’t help but doubt himself. “We have so many doctors and professors who couldn’t save the


    patients, yet the youngster’s 18 needles managed to revive him.”


    “How is that even possible?” he wondered aloud.
