“I volunteer!”
A rich man with a big belly and a chubby face walked up.
“Fatty liver! High blood pressure!”
“What about me?”
“Liver cirrhosis and blood clots! Signs of a minor stroke!”
“Me?”
“You?” Clarence frowned.
The third rich man chuckled. “What’s the matter? You can’t see anything?”
Clarence shook his head and gave the rich man a meaningful, almost sympathetic look. “You’re infertile! It’s so serious that you aren’t able to have children without treatment.
“Do you have any children?
“If you do, you’d better get a paternity test!”
“What?” The billionaire’s face changed instantly, and he made a gesture to Jackson. “Mr. Hayes, I must leave now.”
He immediately rushed out of Thirteen Hall.
“What’s the matter with him?” Clarence found the man’s behavior strange.
Jackson was a little embarrassed. “Ahem ahem, he has three sons…”
“Hahaha!”
“Who knew he was infertile all along, when he’s been in the nightclub business all his life, keeps so many mistresses, and has so many bastards?”
“He’s definitely getting cuckolded!”
The other rich men shook their heads in amusement, looking like they were rejoicing in their peer’s misfortune.
Clarence touched his nose, expressing his sympathy.
“Master Howard, what’s wrong with me?” Another rich man walked up to Clarence.
Clarence sized the man up. “You’re in good health, except for some insomnia. Keep your healthy habits up and just try to work out more!”
“Thank you, Master Howard!”
The rich man was overjoyed. He had just done a body checkup the day before yesterday, and the doctor had also told him to work out more.
“Master Howard, what about me?”
“You? Early-stage syphilis… Stop sleeping around! I’ll prescribe you two sets of medicine. Your life is important!” Clarence shook his head.
“Ahem ahem…”
The rich man coughed awkwardly.
“Master Howard, I…”
“How about me…”
“Master Howard…”
Another seven or eight more rich men rushed up to Clarence and asked him to diagnose them.
Belle and Melody were completely dumbfounded. ‘This is so strange.’
Clarence could see what was wrong with these people without even needing to take their pulses.
Over the course of half an hour, Clarence had treated more than twenty rich men, while Master Williams had just treated three. It was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker.
Once Clarence treated all the rich men in Thirteen Hall…
Master Williams heaved a long sigh. “Master Howard, I lost. I’ve been wondering, how do you know people’s symptoms without even taking their pulses?”
“Do you know what the average doctor needs to do during treatment?” Clarence glanced at Master Williams.
Master Williams frowned. “Observe, listen, ask, and feel!”
Observe meant observing their complexion.
Listen meant listening to their breathing.
Ask meant asking about their symptoms.
Feel meant feeling their pulses.
They were called the four diagnostic methods.
“All I have to do is ‘observe’.” Clarence smiled faintly.
Master Williams’ mouth was agape. He was now even more impressed by Clarence, bowing deeply to him. “Master Howard, I’ll be Thirteen Hall’s prescription assistant from now on!
“Master Howard, please wait for me. I’m going back to Humanity Hall to pack up my things.”
“Go on!” Clarence waved casually.
“Huh?”
“Master Williams!”
“Master Williams! Don’t…”
When Belle and Melody realized that Master Williams was truly leaving Humanity Hall, they instantly panicked.
Master Williams was currently Humanity Hall’s chief practitioner. If he left, Humanity Hall would go out of business.
Peony would nag the two of them until kingdom come!
They followed Master Williams out of Thirteen Hall.
“Congratulations, Master Howard. The medical skills contest earlier was such an eye-opener!”
Jackson walked over, gave Clarence a thumbs-up, and could not help praising him.
After witnessing such an impressive series of consultations from Clarence, Jackson was now truly convinced of Clarence’s medical prowess.
“Mr. Hayes, you’re too kind.” Clarence was neither humble nor lofty.
“Get me a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!” James shouted.
He quickly walked up to the table, picked up the pen, and once again wrote the words ‘Thirteen Hall’.
However, it was a different calligraphy font this time.
Every stroke was as striking as the edge of a sharp steel sword!
It matched the style of Clarence’s Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture.
“Amazing!” Clarence complimented loudly.
This calligraphy was undoubtedly better than the one earlier!
After that, Jackson hosted a feast and entertained guests until late at night. At the end of the festivities, Clarence tiredly made his way back to Thirteen Hall.
Clarence did not go back to Miranda’s villa!
“Sir, I’m at your disposal from today onward.”
Upon returning to Thirteen Hall, Clarence saw Master Williams standing in the hall, looking at him with respect.
Clarence was quite surprised that Master Williams had shown up.
Would Belle and Melody even allow Master Williams to come to Thirteen Hall?
“Are you really going to come to Thirteen Hall?”
Clarence had a minor headache. He had not taken what had happened earlier that day very seriously.
Knowing Belle and Melody, they would never admit to being wrong, even if they had lost a bet.
Master Williams was Humanity Hall’s chief practitioner, and there was no way Peony would let him come to Thirteen Hall.
However, Master Williams had come.
What was going on?
Master Williams nodded solemnly. “Of course, I’m willing to admit my defeat in the bet. Since I lost, I’ll fulfill my promise.”
“Okay, you can stay here then.”
Clarence nodded helplessly and headed to his room to charge his phone before going to bed.
He had forgotten to charge his phone yesterday, so it died long ago.
As soon as Clarence charged it and turned it on, he saw more than one hundred missed calls.
They were from his father-in-law Armstrong, his mother-in-law Peony, and his wife Miranda…
Clarence frowned. He had probably gotten so many missed calls because of the situation with Master Williams.
Clarence decided to ignore the calls for now. It was too late now, since it was already ten o’clock. He would take care of everything tomorrow.
He washed up!
He turned off the lights!
He went to bed!
After doing all this, Clarence lay in bed. Suddenly, he noticed a green light flash around his neck.
It was the necklace with a cross he was wearing around his neck!
“Huh?”
Surprised, Clarence turned on the light. The green light disappeared again.
Then, he turned off the lights!
The green light appeared again.
Clarence did not turn the lights on again. He looked at the necklace closely in the dark.
Clarence noticed a faint green light coming from the bottom of the necklace with a cross, looking like luminescent water in a bottle.
The necklace with a cross was the bottle, while the green light was the water inside it.
“What’s with the green light?” Clarence was surprised.
Clarence had used this green light to save Jackson and Peony the last time he was in the hospital.
The necklace with a cross had dimmed after that. Why was there suddenly a green light again today?
“Is it…
“Hold on!”
Clarence shuddered instantly, feeling delighted. “Is it because I saved lives today? Does that trigger the green light in the necklace with a cross? The more people I save, does the green light get brighter?”
Clarence seemed to have discovered the secret of the necklace with a cross.
