Chapter 1406
While Charlie was treating Quinn, Nanako had just watched her mentor, Kazuki, fall asleep with her
own eyes. She turned wearily to Hiroshi and said, "Tanaka-san, please stay here and take care of
my master for m e. I must get some rest. Otherwise, it''s unlikely that I will make it to the semifinals,
let alone defeat Aurora.”
For Nanako, although Kazuki strongly advised her to g o and worship Charlie as her master, she
was not prepared to do so. 9
In her opinion, her mentor was injured to this extent b y Charlie with a single palm strike. No matter
who was right or wrong in this matter, she couldn''t abandon her mentor at this moment and go to
worship Charlie as her master.
Moreover, deep down inside, she felt that Charlie would most likely not take her as his disciple,
mainly because Charlie was wealthy, and he strongly
despised the Japanese. She didn’t know what kind of leverage she had to impress him. 7
Therefore, she had decided to fight this match to the best of her ability, and then, she would return
to Japan with her mentor.
Because of this, she couldn''t continue to take care of Kazuki right now. She had to return to the
hotel, make sure she had rtively enough rest, and she also had t o seize thest chance to
practice hard. 5
When Jiro heard that Nanako was going back to the hotel, he hurriedly said in a coquettish tone,
"Oh, Miss Ito, it just so happens that I''m going back to the hotel a s well, let’s go together."
Nanako shook her head. "No thanks, Kobayashi-san.

I''ll just take a taxi back by myself."
Jiro knew that Nanako was deliberately trying to alienate him, but he wasn''t angered by her action.
He knew that Nanako, the one-in-a-million Yamato Nadeshiko, was extremely hard toe by, and
she was not an easy target if he intended to win her heart. 7
Therefore, Jiro decided to tell her a very valuable piece of news on his own ord to please her.
He said, "Nanako-san, let''s go together. I just happened to drive the car that our branch bought in
Aurous Hill."
Before Nanako could refuse his offer, he added," Actually, your mentor, Kazuki-san, is not without a
cure. I happen to know someone in this world who can cure him." 7
"Really?!" Nanako shrieked ecstatically and asked," Kobayashi-san, you''re not kidding me, are you?
My mentor is now in aa, are you sure there is someone who can cure him?" 4
Jiro grinned coyly and said, "Nanako-san, you must have heard about the traditional Chinese
medicine practice in Oskia, right?" 4
"Yes, I have." Nanako nodded and said, "But as far as I''m concerned, the traditional Chinese
medicine doesn’t seem to be effective at treating major illnesses. It''s more on treating minor
ailments such as headaches and fever as well as some physical difort."
"For example, acupuncture and fire cupping are loved by athletes all over the world, especially fire
cupping which can rx the muscles and relieve pain. Even Phelps, the famous American
swimmer, did fire cupping at the Rio Olympics."
Jiro said, "Nanako-san, all of these things that you said are just some verymon applications of
Chinese medicine. In truth, as far as I know, traditional Chinese medicine is very miraculous. Not
long ago, there was a renowned Chinese doctor in Aurous Hill who cured a paraplegic patient, who
was a victim of a car ident, and made him as good as new in a short time! However, ording
to the info I obtained, the patient suffered a damaged spinal nerve in a car ident, and there are
only some minor differences with Kazuki-san''s injury." 6
Nanako blurted, "Is there really such a marvelous person in the world? Then please, Kobayashi-
san, please tell me who is this divine doctor who has such a miraculous skill!”
Jiro smiled pleasantly. "Geez, Nanako-san, it''s quite a long story. Why don''t I drive us back to the
hotel, and we''ll talk on the way?" 6
Nanako knew that Jiro was willing to tell her this valuable information simply because he wanted her
to take his car back to the hotel, so she nodded, sumbing to his scheme. "Okay, then. Thanks
for the ride, Kobayashi-san!"
