Chapter 19 Isn''T There A Bet On This?
Chapter 19 Isn''t there a bet on this?
Nora and Chloe were already ying together now, leaving Rowan to watch the two little ones while
the others went inside.
As per L''s request, Erik had someone deliver a set of silver needles.
Can theny down and took off his own mask.
Before "exposing" L, he was still very cooperative.
After taking off the mask, Erik was moved by the appearance of his old friend.
Even Reeva, who had been with her grandfather all year round, felt a chill and heartache!!
After all, Can wouldn''t easily let his granddaughter see his true appearance.
He himself knew how terrifying that was!
Can''s facial features were twisted! The bridge of his nose was nted to the left, his chin was
tilted to the right, and even his dental arch was exposed.
On both sides of the cheeks, there were two shocking circr scars!

His face waspletely unrecognizable and unbearable to look at!
Reeva covered her mouth, and a mist rose in her eyes. Seeing her grandpa like this, she felt
extremely ufortable inside.
If someone can really cure her grandpa, let alone make her strip naked, even sleeping with him will
be fine.
But she absolutely didn''t believe that this scammer can do it.
Can himself didn''t believe it either, lying there with a cold tone and saying, "So? Do you still think
you can cure me now?"
Reeva spoke coldly, "You still have time to admit that you''re a fraud. If youy a finger on my
grandfather and it doesn''t work, the consequences will be more than you can handle. Think about
it!"
People like L were nothing new to her after all these years. They were in it for the money,
fame, or to gain favor with her family for other reasons.
But none of them had been able to cure her grandfather''s condition. In fact, they couldn''t even
make a difference.
"Of course he can be cured! Mr. Bates'' condition is mainly due to blockages and ruptures in his
facial meridians causing his features to be distorted." L remained calm as he spoke.
"Hmph! That sounds easy enough," Reeva sneered.
Erik stood silently on the side. He wanted to see if L was really as skilled as Clifford imed
or if he only knew one massage technique.
"Old hero, you might feel a little itchter on but bear with it!" L didn''t waste any more words
and pulled out a silver needle before piercing Can''s facial acupoints.
Reeva was surprised by how confident L appeared when he took action without hesitation. It
made her unsure of what would happen next.
Upon seeing L''s first needle go in, he held the silver needle for a moment before moving on
to the second. During this time, he infused his own dragon energy through the silver needle into
Can''s facial acupoint.
While he could use his hands to infuse Nora with dragon energy to ease her symptoms, treating
Can required precise control of the flow of dragon energy through the use of a silver needle.
This was why he held onto the needle and spaced out each insertion for an extended period of time.
Once inside Can''s acupoint, the dragon energy flowed along specific meridians, repairing and
clearing blockages.
The dragon energy that surged from L''s left kidney nourished and strengthened his physical
body - it was no wonder that Nora was able toe back from near death with such powerful life
force within her.
"Hmph! You call yourself a miracle doctor? It takes you so long just to insert one acupuncture
needle! Can''t you do any better than this? If not, get lost!" Reeva coldly scolded L while
staring at him skeptically.
Even Erik looked doubtful as there were several minutes between each insertion, which made it
seem clumsy and unfamiliar. However, as soon as Reeva finished speaking, Can spoke up with
an uncertain tone, "Using needles to transfer energy? Is this... using needles to transfer energy?"
Immediately after that statement came out of his mouth - despite previously having no hope or even
resistance towards this treatment - Can shouted at his granddaughter, "Reeva! Be quiet! Don''t
disturb him!"
While others could only see L''s slow movements as being "clumsy," Can personally felt
every single strand of heat flowing through him which brought about an overwhelming sense of
shock!
This young man was actually using a silver needle to transfer energy into him?!
Although he had never heard of such methods, as a warrior, Can understood how incredible it
was!
Reeva was stunned for a moment; she didn''t expect her grandfather to scold her for this fraudster.
At this moment, L said seriously, "Old hero, please don''t speak and don''t move!"
"Oh! Okay! Okay!"
Can always said that he didn''t want to be cured, and that this face which was neither human nor
ghost was a badge of pride for him.
But in reality, only he himself knew that these words were just self-constion under desperation.
Didn''t he want to take off his mask? Didn''t he want to see the light again?
Over the years, he hadpletely given up hope.
However, at this moment, L showed him a glimmer of hope!
Therefore, Can with a difficult personality obediently agreed twice like a good child at this
moment, then closed his mouth and didn''t move.
Next, as L slowly pierced down with each stitch, an astonishing scene unfolded!
First, the scars on Can''s face began to fade, and then those contorted features gradually
realigned to a noticeable degree right before their eyes.
The dragon energy within L''s body was gentle, but when activated by the silver needle and
entering Can''s body, it appeared somewhat domineering!
"This... this isn''t an illusion, right?"
Reeva blinked her beautiful eyes and muttered to herself in disbelief, still too afraid to speak loudly.
"This isn''t medicine, it''s pure magic!" Erik eximed, shaking his head in disbelief.
Time ticked by slowly as L carefully inserted twenty silver needles into Can''s face.
Throughout the process, Can felt a mixture of numbness, itching and pain on his face. But being
a seasoned veteran who had weathered many storms in life, he gritted his teeth and remained still.
An hourter...
Can stared at himself in the mirror with trembling hands. Despite all that he had been through in
life, tears welled up in his eyes as he saw the transformation before him.
"Haha... is that really me? Is that old man staring back at me from the mirror?" Can burst out
laughing uncontrobly, throwing caution to the wind and disregarding any sense of dignity or
composure.
Looking closely at himself again, he noticed how much better he lookedpared to before - not
only were his features more symmetrical but also smoother and younger-looking. Even scars on
both sides of his cheeks had faded significantly.
In this moment of euphoria and liberation from decades-long emotional burden weighing down on
him like a dark cloud overhead, Can felt like a new person altogether.
No one could experience the kind of ecstatic joy that seemed to clear away the clouds and reveal a
sunny day, except for him.
"Grandpa..." Reeva choked up a bit.
The more her grandpa acted like this, the more Reeva could imagine how much pain he had been
living in for so many years. At this moment, she was both happy and sad.
Her beautiful eyes looked at L with a hint of gratitude.
"Hehe, am I still a good liar?" Lughed and teased when he saw the performance of these
two generations.
"What''s so great about it? It''s notpletely cured yet." Reeva held back tears and refused to
admit how amazing L was.
"Well, your grandpa''s condition is quite serious. The blockage in his veins has caused deformation
in his facial bones. He won''t be able to fully recover from just one treatment. He''ll need another one
after a month," L nodded honestly.
Just then, Can who had vented his emotions walked towards L with big strides and bowed
down!
L was taken aback by this sudden gesture and quickly supported him to prevent him from
kneeling down.
"Mr. Bates, what are you doing?"
"Doctor Willis, please forgive my previous rudeness and negligence! You cannot imagine the pain I
have endured over these years with this half-human, half-ghost appearance. What kind of suffering I
have had to endure? I bow down to you as an elder!" Can said excitedly.
L shook his head speechlessly and said, "You did it for the country and for all people''s
injuries in Priocia (the country where they are living). Without heroes like you sacrificing their lives
and shedding blood, how could we have peace in our country today? Therefore, it is only right that I
treat your injuries. Besides, I am not treating you for free; your granddaughter made a bet with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Reeva standing next to him blushed so much!
