Chapter 9

“Okay. Wait here. I’ll go find a sedan chair right away!” Jack did not dare to waste any time and immediately mobilized his family’s power. In just ten minutes, he got a sedan chair from the film crew as well as eight strong men to carry it. “Mr. Knight, please get in the sedan chair!” Jack said respectfully. “Jane, Miss Nelson, you two should get on with me.” Marcus smiled and offered. The two women hesitated for a moment, but they got into the sedan chair together with him as they wanted to watch the fun. On one side of him was the number one beauty of the East Sea, and on the other side was a naturally charming, well-bred young lady of Capital City! Marcus sat in the middle, sweet fragrance blowing onto his face. He had a beautiful woman by each arm, and that was enough to arouse the envy and hatred of all the rich and powerful men in the East Sea. Jack also got into the sedan chair inattentively. “You, get off.” Marcus frowned and spoke coldly. “What?” Jack was taken aback. “You need the right attitude when you ask someone for help. Only by carrying the sedan chair yourself can you show your sincerity, right?” Marcus asked back. “Um…” Jack was momentarily pissed. He was from one of the top rich families in the East Sea. He had lived a life of luxury, so he had never done any heavy physical work. Now that his father’s life was on the line and his life was in Marcus’ hands, he had to do what he was told. “Mr. Knight, I’ll go down to lift the sedan chair!” Although Jack swallowed his anger, he thought to himself, ‘If Marcus can't cure Dad later, I will skin him alive!’ … Half an hour later, the sedan chair being carried by eight people finally arrived at the Montague Residence. Jack was so exhausted that his forehead was sweating profusely. His arms and shoulders were all worn out, but he did not dare to cry out in pain. He urged. “Mr. Knight, time is running out. Please go save my father!” “What’s the rush? As long as I want to keep him alive, that old man won’t die!” Marcus walked into the living room with the two women. Miles was lying on the ground. His face was ashen, and he was barely holding on. He seemed to be halfway through the gates of hell. In the next moment, Marcus took out the silver needles he carried with him. His gaze was heated, and his momentum changed drastically. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! More than a dozen silver needles flew all over the air, piercing Miles’ acupoints accurately. The Great Magic Needles! This was the needle technique Marcus learned from Old Master Drake in prison. It was said that it had been passed down from a genius doctor and it could resurrect the dead. “Go!” Marcus plunged the last silver needle into the top of Miles’ head, and a mysterious energy poured into it. A few seconds later, Miles’ face regained some color, then he slowly opened his eyes. It was evident that he was not in any danger anymore. “Dad, you’re awake!” Surprised and delighted, Jack rushed over immediately. “My God! This is amazing!” “That kid is so young, but his medical skills are so great. I’ve never seen something like it!” “How admirable!” The Montague family’s doctors praised Marcus again and again. Upon witnessing this scene, Jane was also taken aback. Unexpectedly, Marcus was not just bragging. He was truly capable, and she had wronged him. On the other hand, Anna stared straight at Marcus, the amorous look in her eyes intensified. … At this time, Miles also stood up. He no longer had his past arrogance. He instead put on a respectful look and bowed to Marcus. “Mr. Knight, I was blind before, so please forgive me! If you hadn’t rescued me today, I’m afraid I would be a corpse now!” “Mr. Montague, you have cardiovascular disease. Although I saved you just now, you still need to take care of yourself in the future! By the way, your son was willing to carry the sedan chair for me just now, so he’s pretty filial,” Marcus said. Upon hearing this, Jack’s resentment toward Marcus disappeared in an instant, leaving only gratitude. “Mr. Knight, this is the land deed for the west hillside worth five hundred million dollars. I am giving it to you to thank you for saving my life!” Miles took out a contract and solemnly handed it to Marcus. “Okay. I won’t be modest, then.” Marcus nodded. After all, Miles was a real estate tycoon worth billions, so his life was surely worth more than this land deed! “Hiss.” Jane was secretly startled at one side. She looked down on Marcus before and thought that her father had married her to a poor boy! Who knew he would soon make five hundred million dollars with just a wave of his hand? He was getting money faster than a money-printing machine! “Jane, here you are!” In the next moment, Marcus handed the deed over to Jane. “What’s the meaning of this?” Jane was taken aback, and she was at a loss. “My father-in-law gave me Dynasty Hotel as a gift, but I didn’t prepare any gift for him! So now, I am giving your family the deed on the west hillside as your betrothal gift.” Marcus explained. ‘Betrothal gift?’ When Jane heard that, her pretty face flushed slightly, and her heart throbbed. An unprecedented, inexplicable feeling crept up inside her. She suddenly felt that although Marcus had been in prison, he was a reliable and capable person. It would not be too bad to marry him! “Okay. In that case, I’ll accept it!” Jane blushed and accepted the deed. “Mr. Montague, have a good rest. I’ll take my leave now.” After Marcus said goodbye, he took the two women back to the Lincoln family’s villa. Anna was staying overnight, so of course, she would share a room with Jane. Therefore, Marcus had to sleep in the guest room. … On the big Simmons bed inside the room, the two beauties both put on silk nightgowns that made them look alluring. “Anna, why do you look so glum? Do you feel unwell? Do you need me to ask Marcus to examine you?” Jane saw that her friend had not spoken since they got back. She seemed to have something on her mind. “Jane, are you really going to marry Marcus?” Anna asked suddenly. “My dad forced him to marry him, but now it seems that he has some skills! But he can’t get married to me so easily. I have to test him for a while!” Jane looked arrogant. Anna thought for a while and said, “I think Marcus is not just capable but a one-in-a-million man! Those rich kids from the provincial capital or even Capital City can’t compare to him, let alone the ones in a small city like the East Sea.” “Pfft!” Jane burst into laughter once she heard this. “Anna, how can Marcus be as powerful as you said? He just knows some medical skills. Are you praising him just because he saved you?” “Shall we bet on it?” Anna took the initiative to propose it. “The East Sea’s Noble Rank will be updated in three months, right? I bet that by then, Marcus will be able to get on the Noble Rank and become famous all throughout the city!” ‘What?’ Jane was taken aback when she heard this, her pretty face full of surprise. There were a total of ten seats in the Noble Rank, and it was updated once a year. It included talents in the East Sea under the age of 30 and from all walks of life. It was equivalent to an award like ‘The Top Ten Outstanding Youths of the East Sea’. Those who were selected were either rich and powerful or young entrepreneurial tycoons. Even rich kids like Henry and Jack were not eligible for the selection. Although Marcus had some medical skills, he was an unknown person right now, and landing on the rank within three months would be as difficult as learning how to fly. “Okay, I’ll take that bet! I don’t believe Marcus can do that. But what’s the bet?” Jane asked. “Hehe!” Anna smiled like a sly little fox after Jane agreed. Then, she said something surprising. “If I lose, you can name anything you want. “But if Marcus successfully enters the Noble Rank after three months, can you let him be my husband, Jane?”
