"What?"
Torben was stunned. Holding his face, he felt confused. Shouldn't they be
reprimanding Dustin at this moment? Why did his uncle slap him instead?
"You useless fool! Get the hell out if you can't speak properly!" Spring'
s face was stern. He was clearly angry.
It was supposed to be a situation where they didn't have to spend any mon
ey, but this idiot had managed to raise the price of a pill to 300 millio
n. Dustin would probably ask for even more if they let him continue.
Why punish him instead of this damned guy?
"Spring, you've gone too far." Autumn frowned. Of course, he wasn't happy
about his son getting slapped.
"You shut up too!" Spring turned around and glowered. "Father's life is h
anging by a thread, and we urgently need the medicine to save him. Yet yo
u people are still here arguing. If something happens to Father, can you
afford the responsibility?"
Hearing that, the father and son exchanged glances and dared not say anot
her word.
The Hill family was known for its martial prowess, and their patriarch, P
aul, was a master of Balerno martial arts three years ago. Although he ha
d retired now, he still commanded great respect and status in the martial
world. Even the current leader would show deference to him.
The Hill family stood strong and was known as one of the top three famili
es because of Paul's towering presence. If the patriarch were to pass awa
y, the entire Hill family would suffer a devastating blow.
"Young man, I apologize sincerely. I have failed to teach my people manne
rs. Please don't take it to heart. As long as you can save my father's li
fe, 300 million dollars is not a problem." Spring agreed without hesitati
on.
"I'm glad you picked the right choice." Dustin smiled faintly. "The Hill
family has great wealth and influence-
300 million is nothing to you."
Torben narrowed his eyes as a hint of killing intent flashed across them.
Yet he controlled himself.
"Young man, please proceed." Spring forced a smile.
"Alright." Dustin didn't say much. He took out a Gemiphen and stuffed it
into Paul's mouth. Then he lifted the old man's clothes, took out a silve
r needle, and pierced three key acupoints: The posterior neck Acupoint, l
ower chest acupoint, and stomach acupoint. Then, he flicked his finger.
"Buzz…"
The three silver needles rapidly spun, and waves of true energy flowed in
to Paul's body through the needles.
"What amazing acupuncture skills!" Witnessing this scene, Nicholas was gr
eatly astonished. Although he specialized in alchemy, he also had conside
rable medical knowledge. With his discerning eyes, he could tell that Dus
tin's acupuncture
technique was extraordinary. Although his skills might not surpass Dr. Je
remy. Dustin was almost as good as him.
To possess such exquisite acupuncture skills at such a young
age… Who exactly was this young man?
After administering the needles, Dustin helped Paul up and delivered a st
rong palm strike to his back. A surge of true energy erupted in Paul's bo
dy.
Paul tilted his head back and spewed out a mouthful of dark blood. Then h
is head slumped, and once again.
he lost consciousness.
"Alright, the patient is out
of danger now. However, the internal injuries have accumulated for a long
time. So it will take some time for a complete recovery. After I return,
I will prepare some
medicine for the patient. Drinking two cups every day
for about ten days should lead to a full recovery."

"Oh, by the way, don't remove the silver needles from the patient's body
for another three hours. That's all. Now, you can pay up."
After a series of instructions, Dustin directly asked for payment. He had
come to treat Paul as a favor to Patrick, but he still expected to be
compensated for his services. He didn't want to make the trip for nothing
.
"The matter of payment is not an issue, but we need to confirm my father'
s condition first." Spring signaled to Nicholas with his eyes.
Nicholas quickly approached and checked Paul's pulse. Instantly, his eyes
widened,
"How is he? Is there something wrong with my father?" Everyone felt anxio
us upon seeing this.
"No, no, no Mr. Hill's pulse is very calm, and most of the stagnant blood
in his body has been removed. The broken meridians were also remarkably
repaired. It's truly amazing!" Nicholas exclaimed with delight.
The combined effects of the Gemiphen and the miraculous acupuncture techn
ique produced such astonishing
results.
"Damn it! You scared me! Can't you just finish your sentence?" Torben gru
mbled angrily. If anything happened
to his grandfather, he would have an excuse to execute Dustin on the spot
and hold Patrick accountable.
"The experts from Stoneray Valley have confirmed it. Now, can you rest as
sured?" Dustin replied calmly.
"It's all thanks to you, young man. We are extremely grateful!" Spring ex
pressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome. You pay me to treat your father anyway." Dustin replied
in response.
"Please go to the living room and have a cup of tea to get some rest.' Sp
ring smiled. Then he turned around and said, "Autumn, go and withdraw the
money for this young man here."
"Yes."
Autumn gave Dustin a deep look before turning to leave.
Meanwhile, Dustin followed the servant to the living room.
The Hill's residence covered a vast area, enveloping a whole mountain. Ta
ll walls surrounded the premises, and numerous villas dotted the landscap
e. A dozen guards patrolled around the clock. Their security was very str
ict. It would be nearly impossible for ordinary people to enter.
Ten minutes later, Autumn and Torben entered the living room with a check
in hand.
"Young man, this is your reward."
Dustin picked up the check and frowned. "Did you make a mistake? I asked
for 300 million, not three million."
"Of course not." Torben answered arrogantly, "Even the experts of Stonera
y Valley only charged us three million. You're just an unknown doctor fro
m god knows where. You should be grateful that we're willing to pay you t
his much."
"I don't care about others, but since we agreed on 300 million, it must b
e 300 million, not a penny less," Dustin
