Chapter 9

A silver light flashed in his hand, and seven silver needles appeared.

“Go!”

Chase waved his arm, and the seven silver needles pierced into seven acupoints on the old man.

Dr. Strickland was startled by this and exclaimed, “Did… Did you just move the needles through the void?!”

After the seven needles pierced into the old man’s acupoints, a white light suddenly flashed from them, and the needles formed into the alignment of the Big Dipper. It was dazzling, looking like the starry sky.

“On your back is the inscription for 10,000 years, on your chest is the inscription for the seven stars. The Gates of Hell welcomes you on the third watch, but I can keep you here until the fifth watch.

“Awaken! If not now, when?!”

Chase chanted those words. It sounded like they were the key to controlling life and death.

The moment he finished the words, the old man on the bed who was supposed to be unconscious suddenly threw up blood that was black. After that, he began coughing violently.

Everyone was silent.

They were thunderstruck and froze in place. They looked like they had just seen a ghost.

“Did… Did he just save Grandpa? How… How is that possible?”

Bianca was stunned. She quickly exclaimed, “Grandpa…”

The old man slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, “B-Bianca, I’m still alive? I dreamed that your grandmother came to take me with her…”

“You’re still alive, Grandpa. Someone saved you.” Bianca was crying with joy. “This is wonderful. So wonderful.”

Everyone quickly came forward. They were agitated as they showed concern over the old man.

“It’s a return from death. He returned from the dead.” Dr. Strickland’s lips were trembling as he looked on in disbelief.

He had been in medicine for decades, and this was the first time he had witnessed something like this.

The old man looked at him and said, “Thank you for saving me, Dr. Strickland.”

Dr. Strickland turned beet red. He quickly waved his hands. “No, no, it wasn’t me, Mr. Cooper. I wasn’t the one who saved you. It was someone else.”

“That’s right, Grandpa. It was this miracle doctor who saved you,” Bianca said and pointed to the side.

She became silent the next moment because Chase was gone.

Her eyes widened as she looked around. “Wait a minute, where’s that gentleman?”

“Huh? He was just here. Where did he go?”

“Could he have left?”

It was only then that everyone realized he had disappeared. They began looking for him.

Just then, the old man suddenly fell heavily back into bed. He looked like he had died.

“What’s wrong with you, Grandpa? Please don’t scare me…” Bianca became anxious. “Dr. Strickland, please take a look at my grandfather.”

Dr. Strickland quickly came forward to give him a check-up. His expression changed. “Mr Cooper’s pulse is very weak. He might… go at any time…”

“How did it turn out this way? He was full of spirit just seconds before.”

“I beg you, Dr. Strickland, please save him…”

Everyone was panicking. They felt like they had just gone to heaven and fell straight down to hell.

The look on Dr. Strickland’s face changed. “It must be that young man. He did not completely cure elderly Mr. Cooper.”

“He must have done that to show what he's capable of and make us regret this. I was too blind to recognize what he truly was, a divine doctor who's able to create miracles.”

He said somberly, “Everyone, it looks like only that young man will be able to save Mr. Cooper. You need to get his help regardless of the price!

“If he's able to cure Mr. Cooper, I will ask him to accept me as his student!”

Everyone looked depressed and regretful when they heard him say this.

If they had not said such terrible things, that young man might have cured elderly Mr. Cooper.

Bianca looked extremely pale. There was deep regret in her eyes as tears began to fall from them.

It was only then that she realized how stupid she had been.
