Chapter 183


    Even though Matt had something to do with the tragic fire 17 years ago, Kingsley wouldn''t take it out on


    Cecilia because of that. After all, she and Alice had been taking turns looking after Reene these days.


    He wasn''t as ipetent as to vent his anger on an innocentdy. Moreover, he didn''t want the close


    friendship between Reene and Cecilia to be affected because of him.


    Upon hearing how Kingsley made light of the problem, Alice argued anxiously, "How could you say that


    they''re bored out of their minds? Many of them are medical heavyweights of Cleapolis!" As she spoke,


    she came to Reene''s bedside and grabbed Reene''s hand. "Reene, Kingsley is too stubborn. He insists


    on brazening it out and curing a paralytic patient. You''ve got to talk him out of this!"


    Before Reene could speak, though, there was a sudden knock on the door.


    The next instant, n pushed the door open and came in. "Kingsley, why are you only here now? I''ve


    been searching for you all day yesterday!" His head was still swathed in bandages after being injured


    with a baseball bat by Louie earlier on. "Kingsley, you''ve gotten yourself into huge trouble this time!" He


    looked panic-stricken. "I know that you have profound knowledge of traditional medicine, but this matter


    is very serious. It might affect your future!"


    n had cherished Kingsley''s gift for medicine ever since he saw how thetter stopped his bleeding


    by hitting his acupuncture points. Because of that, he wanted to take Kingsley in as his student and


    rmend that he join the Cleapolis Society for Research in Traditional Medicine. In his opinion, as


    long as Kingley was willing to work his way up one step at a time, he would definitely be a highly-


    skilled doctor who was famous throughout Qustia. However, before he could take Kingsley in as his


    student, thetter had caused such a huge fuss! He said bitterly, "You''re cutting your future short, son!


    The bigwigs in the field of medicine are all here today. If you leave a bad impression on them, you''ll


    have a hard road ahead of you!"


    "Don''t worry, Professor Gershwin. Firstly, I have no ns of joining the field of medicine in the future.


    Secondly, I''m certain that I can cure Joshua." Kingsley smiled a faint smile. "Those people don''t matter


    at all, so you don''t have to worry about me."


    "You…" n was stunned. "Why aren''t you gonna continue to develop your career in medicine? You''re


    so gifted in traditional medicine, after all."


    Kingsley replied solemnly, stressing each word, "That isn''t where my ambitions lie." He was Ares, the


    God of War who protected hundreds of millions of Qustian citizens. Even if they were now in times of


    peace, he still had to hold onto his weapon and stay vignt at all times to keep Sweoyan spies from


    infiltrating Qustia. He had learned traditional medicine not to use it as a tool to seek undeserved fame


    and reputation, but to protect his country and people better.


    Seeing the determined look in his eyes, n let out a sigh of disappointment. "Well, it can''t be


    helped…" He took a while to regain hisposure. Then, he spoke again, saying, "Kingsley, the


    hospital director wants me to inform you that due to the overwhelming number of people being present


    today, you''ll be performing medical treatment in Sunshine Auditorium at the outpatient building


    instead."


    Kingsley sneered. "Since they want to watch it, I''ll let them have a good look at it. It''s time to restore the


    name of Qustian traditional medicine, anyway!"

    ……


    …


    Hill Crest Hospital had stopped receiving patients for today in order to receive the medical bigwigs


    invited by Matt and Felix. At this moment, the outpatient building''s Sunshine Auditorium was packed


    with all kinds of well-dressed medical professionals.


    Jeffred''s forehead was covered in sweat as he was busy directing the hospital''s staff members to


    continue moving chairs over from the conference room. Meanwhile, the gray-haired elderly schrs


    had taken their seats and were whispering among themselves as they discussed the event today.


    "Mr. Rand, I never thought you''d be here on invitation as well," said a man in his fifties who wore a


    pair of ck-rimmed sses. He was Ronald Duncan, the chairman of Foundation for Development of


    Traditional Medicine.


    The old man sitting across from him was Scott Rand, the president of Cleapolis Society for


    Research in Traditional Medicine, who was also the most prestigious among those who were present


    today. He let out a snort with a grave expression, saying, "To think that somebody caused such a huge


    sensation by bluffing under the pretense of traditional medicine! Am I gonna watch our fellow


    countrymenbel traditional medicine as mystical hocus-pocus instead of teaching this brat a lesson


    myself?"


    Ronald nodded. "You''re right. Our country''s traditional medicine has been passed down for thousands


    of years. How could we let such a rascal cken its name?!"
