Chapter 9

Jason sought after the source of the commotion. As he approached, he saw a medical center named Prosperity Hall. In front was a middle-aged woman, wearing mourning attire, knelt in front of a man that was laid down on top of a stretcher. The man looked sickly ill and was obviously in a near-death state. “Mrs. Johnson, I would admit to mistreating him if I had done so, but I haven’t, so there is no need to do this. You can do whatever you want, even if you wanted to take my life.” An elderly man stood in front of the middle-aged woman and spoke softly. His tone was calm, but it carried a hint of resignation. “Please leave the area. There’s nothing to see here. I will admit my faults if I have done any. I would not bully anyone,” Looking at the spectating crowd, the elder said calmly. He had been practicing medicine in the area for decades and was well known in that area. The spectators thought someone was causing issues and wanted to help, but they did not imagine that the elder had clarified the situation. As the spectators dispersed, Jason stood in place. The elder turned his gaze onto Jason, and he spoke in a slightly angered tone, “Excuse me, young man?” Jason calmly looked at the dying man lying on the floor and spoke, “I can cure him.” “What did you say?” The elder’s face was filled with disbelief after hearing it. The absentmindedly woman that looked desperate immediately looked at Jason. “If you could cure my husband, I’ll do anything you want.” The woman dragged herself onto her knees and wailed loudly in front of Jason. “Madam, that’s not necessary. There’s a condition for me to cure your husband, but it applies to him and not you.” Jason helped the kneeling woman onto her feet, but his eyes were fixed on the elderly healer. “The medicine’s poison had traveled deep into his organs, and even the gods couldn't save him. Young man, this is a matter of life or death. It’s not for you to joke about.” Compared to the woman, the elderly man was much calmer. He had been practicing medicine for most of his lifetime, and believed that this person had no chance to be saved. “We’ll see if I’m joking or not once he gets cured,” Jason smirked and said. He then walked in front of the dying man and tapped his finger repeatedly on his chest. He did that to stabilize the man. The man’s initially weak breathing became much better once Jason swiped his finger. “What?” The elderly healer was filled with disbelief after witnessing the event. “What is your demand?” He looked at Jason and asked. At this very moment, he somehow believed that Jason might be able to save the person. “You have a nice medical clinic. Won’t you gift it to me?” Jason looked at the elderly healer and smirked. “B*stard, you’re taking advantage of the situation!” Immediately, a skittish voice sounded. It was from a young lady that stood behind Jason, and she was absolutely livid. This medical center was her grandfather’s livelihood that he held on to for decades. Moreover, when it comes to Mediterrania, where every inch of the earth was worth its weight in gold, this medical center at least had the worth of millions. Jason lightly glanced at the perky young lady and ignored her. Instead, he turned his gaze onto the elderly healer. “Fine, I agree. Since that, I already trashed the reputation of Prosperity Hall; if you could cure the man, it will pretty much atone for my sins.” Under Jason’s intense gaze, he slowly muttered. “Grandpa, you can’t do that!” The lady spoke in frustration. She looked at Jason as if he was her greatest enemy. “Not bad. Not bad at all. If that’s the case, you should expect additional years added to your already short lifespan.” Jason looked at the elderly healer and smirked. “Huh?” The elderly healer looked at Jason with his eyes full of shock. When it comes to the fact that he had little time to live, he was the only person who knew that; not even his granddaughter knew about it. He questioned how Jason figured it out; perhaps he actually reached the highest level as a healer. “Grandpa?” The young lady could no longer be bothered about Jason’s antics. Instead, she questioned the old man about the validity of his claim.
