âI volunteer!â
A rich man with a big belly and a chubby face walked up.
âFatty liver! High blood pressure!â
âWhat about me?â
âLiver cirrhosis and blood clots! Signs of a minor stroke!â
âMe?â
âYou?â Clarence frowned.
The third rich man chuckled. âWhatâs the matter? You canât see anything?â
Clarence shook his head and gave the rich man a meaningful, almost sympathetic look. âYouâre infertile! Itâs so serious that you arenât able to have children without treatment.
âDo you have any children?
âIf you do, youâd better get a paternity test!â
âWhat?â The billionaireâs face changed instantly, and he made a gesture to Jackson. âMr. Hayes, I must leave now.â
He immediately rushed out of Thirteen Hall.
âWhatâs the matter with him?â Clarence found the manâs behavior strange.
Jackson was a little embarrassed. âAhem ahem, he has three sons...â
âHahaha!â
âWho knew he was infertile all along, when heâs been in the nightclub business all his life, keeps so many mistresses, and has so many bastards?â
âHeâs definitely getting cuckolded!â
The other rich men shook their heads in amusement, looking like they were rejoicing in their peerâs misfortune.
Clarence touched his nose, expressing his sympathy.
âMaster Howard, whatâs wrong with me?â Another rich man walked up to Clarence.
Clarence sized the man up. âYouâre in good health, except for some insomnia. Keep your healthy habits up and just try to work out more!â
âThank you, Master Howard!â
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.
âMaster Howard, what about me?â
âYou? Early-stage syphilis... Stop sleeping around! Iâll prescribe you two sets of medicine. Your life is important!â Clarence shook his head.
âAhem ahem...â
The rich man coughed awkwardly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMaster Howard, I...â
âHow about me...â
âMaster Howard...â
Another seven or eight more rich men rushed up to Clarence and asked him to diagnose them.
Belle and Melody were completely dumbfounded. âThis is so strange.â
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. âMaster Howard, I lost. Iâve been wondering, how do you know peopleâs symptoms without even taking their pulses?â
âDo you know what the average doctor needs to do during treatment?â Clarence glanced at Master Williams.
Master Williams frowned. âObserve, listen, ask, and feel!â
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.
âAll I have to do is âobserveâ.â Clarence smiled faintly.
Master Williamsâ mouth was agape. He was now even more impressed by Clarence, bowing deeply to him. âMaster Howard, Iâll be Thirteen Hallâs prescription assistant from now on!
âMaster Howard, please wait for me. Iâm going back to Humanity Hall to pack up my things.â
âGo on!â Clarence waved casually.
âHuh?â
âMaster Williams!â
âMaster Williams! Donât...â
When Belle and Melody realized that Master Williams was truly leaving Humanity Hall, they instantly panicked.
Master Williams was currently Humanity Hallâs 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.
âCongratulations, Master Howard. The medical skills contest earlier was such an eye-opener!â
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 Clarenceâs medical prowess.
âMr. Hayes, youâre too kind.â Clarence was neither humble nor lofty.
âGet me a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!â James shouted.
He quickly walked up to the table, picked up the pen, and once again wrote the words âThirteen Hallâ.
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 Clarenceâs Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture.
âAmazing!â 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 Mirandaâs villa!
âSir, Iâm at your disposal from today onward.â
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?
âAre you really going to come to Thirteen Hall?â
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 Hallâs 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. âOf course, Iâm willing to admit my defeat in the bet. Since I lost, Iâll fulfill my promise.â
âOkay, you can stay here then.â
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 oâclock. 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!
âHuh?â
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.
âWhatâs with the green light?â 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?
âIs itâ¦
âHold on!â
Clarence shuddered instantly, feeling delighted. âIs 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?â
Clarence seemed to have discovered the secret of the necklace with a cross.
