Chapter 27


    The current state of La astonished and shocked not only Jackson and Caleb but also Ruby. Their


    pupils disyed amazement and even fear, leaving them in a state of astonishment, bewilderment, and


    a hint of fear. When had they ever seen La in this state, using such a tone to address. them?


    The previous La had always been meek and cautious.


    The current situation was different, even contradictory.


    She dared to call Jackson and Ruby by their names directly!


    Besides that, she told them that she was no longer their adopted daughter from that onward.


    The most important one was that she threatened Jackson and Ruby. She further threatened them,


    iming she wouldn’t let Jackson off the hook if he called her a ‘wretch’ or ‘bastard’ again.


    After a brief moment of bewilderment and confusion, Jackson’s face contorted into a malicious


    expression. He couldn’t believe that the previously submissive and timid La would dare to threaten


    him or take any action against him.


    She wouldn’t let him off the hook anymore.


    He shouted directly at La.


    “Fine! You ungrateful parasite! Without the Taylor family, what are you? I’d like to see how you n to


    deal with me! Let’s see how you dare not spare me,” yelled Jackson.


    Listening to Jackson’s words, La’s face bore a serene smile, much like Gavin’s.


    She spoke with interest, “Jackson, don’t forget that I have been managing the Taylorizon Group all


    these years. Even though I don’t hold any official position, my understanding of the Taylorizon Group is


    much deeper and far surpasses yours.


    “Simrly, I know how to bring the Taylorizon Group to its knees, crumble into oblivion, and ruin its


    reputation.”


    “What!” expressed Jackson when he heard La’s words.


    La’s words caused Jackson’s brows to furrow, and fear and panic were


    15

    evident in his eyes.


    He realized La’s words were far from empty threats.


    Although La had worked in thepany all these years, and it had always been under Jackson and


    Ruby’s direction, her words were


    confident and determined.


    Indeed, La had no official role within thepany, but her knowledge and profound understanding


    of the Taylorizon Group surpassed that of anyone else present.


    La’s words were not mere empty threats.


    “You,” Jackson stammered, his voice trembling.


    “You… how could you?” continued Jackson.


    Jackson was speechless and could only stammer in response.


    But at that moment, La stopped paying attention to Jackson.


    Instead, she confidently turned to Gavin and said, “Gavin, I believe in you. Do what you must; no one


    here will dare to stop you.”

    In fact, from the moment La took her stand, Gavin had already cast an appreciative gaze her way.


    Her current transformation brought a sense of contentment to Gavin’s heart.


    La was finally standing up for herself and learned to resist.


    With a gentle smile, Gavin raised his thumb to La and nodded in approval before proceeding to


    Brooke’s side.


    “Brat, you…”


    Both Jackson and Caleb looked at Gavin’s actions with faces filled with shock and anger.


    However, at that moment, they didn’t dare to stop Gavin.


    On the one hand, they knew they couldn’t defeat him and were afraid of being effortlessly defeated by


    him with a single hand.


    On the other hand, they were worried that La might use her knowledge about the Taylorizon Group


    to ruin their family businesspletely.


    After some time, all the surroundings remain silent.


    With those annoying ones out of the way, Gavin could finally quietly begin treating Brooke.

    He first ced three of his fingers on Brooke’s pulse.


    As expected, the previous physician, Harris, had some skills that aligned with his words.


    However, there was one point he had gotten wrong.


    Brooke’s condition is characterized by rapidly declining bodily functions, but it’s not a state of imminent


    death. Instead, it appears that his body’s. functions have been affected for specific reasons, causing


    him to enter a state of dormancy.


    The needle technique used by the previous physician, Harris, involved forcibly activating Brooke’s


    internal organs, causing them to operate at an excessive level, which could have been detrimental to


    his current state.


    If Brooke had truly been on the brink of death, Harris’s technique might have had some utility. At the


    same time, this technique would be helpful if Brooke were on the verge of death.


    However, if Brooke were treated with such a technique at this stage, he would undoubtedly result in


    instant death.


    Gavin didn’t hesitate any longer. He gently closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.


    The next moment, a buzzing sound filled the air.


    A gust of wind sounded.


    Gavin’s right hand suddenly lifted, and a silvery cold light appeared between his right index finger and


    middle finger. Most importantly, this silver light also had a faint airflow fluctuation, as if Gavin had


    released his inner energy through his fingertips.


    That’s right, Gavin’s initial move set everything into motion.


    With just this one move, Harris, who was sitting at a distance, couldn’t help but exim in the next


    second.


    He said in astonishment, “Miraculous moxa roll?”


    But immediately after, he shook his head.


    He said in disbelief and a low voice, “It’s impossible, absolutely impossible! It couldn’t be!


    “The miraculous moxa roll has been lost for over a hundred years. How… How could a young man in


    his twenties possess this set of acupuncture techniques?”


    However, the next moment, Gavin’s right hand firmlynded on Brooke’s


    35

    forehead.


    Then, Gavin raised his left hand again, and once more, a silver edge appeared, apanied by a faint


    flow of energy.


    It fell above Brooke’s neck.


    Subsequently, Gavin’s left and right hands continued to alternate, administering and applying the


    acupuncture treatment.


    It seemed that the airflow generated by his hands had resonated with the surrounding air, creating a


    humming sound.


    And around Brooke’s body, it was as if a nearly invisible protective shield tightly enveloped him.


    The energy flow and fluctuations seemed to create a pattern on Brooke’s body, resembling something


    like a celestial chart or the patterns of a human pulse.


    Harris couldn’t contain himself any longer when he saw Gavin’s actions.


    With a sudden motion, he sprang to his feet from the ground. He stood up abruptly, trembling, pointing


    toward the scene before him.


    His right hand trembled as he pointed at the scene ahead, and his pupils shook continuously, fully


    expressing the word “unbelievable” on his face.


    His lips quivered as he stuttered intermittently.


    “This… This is really… the miraculous moxa roll?” said Logan in a surprised tone.


    Afterward, he rushed to a nearby ce, where his medical kit was as if caught in a frenzy and a gust of


    wind.


    He rummaged through boxes and cabs, searching for a book from an unknown era, and


    immediately flipped it open.


    The images and textual descriptions in the book were astonishingly identical to the scene he witnessed


    in front of him.


    “It’s real! It’s the miraculous moxa roll! No way, I can’t believe that!” eximed Harris in disbelief.


    Harris’s entire body started trembling uncontrobly as if he had gone mad.


    He gazed at Gavin’s figure with a sense of excited hunger in his eyes, even apanied by a kind of


    fanaticism.


    On the other side, anxious and frantic, Caleb rushed to Harris urgently and nervously spoke as he


    approached him.

    “Dr. Harris, please think of a way to stop him! Don’t let him be! We can’t let him treat my grandfather!”


    said Caleb.


    “Stop him?” Harris turned to Caleb with a strange and puzzled expression and asked, “Stop him from


    doing what?”


    Caleb pointed toward Gavin, saying, “Stop that jerk from harming my father.”


    With a resounding “smack,” Harris raised his hand before Caleb could finish his sentence and delivered


    a forceful p across Caleb’s face.


    The force of the p was nowhere near as powerful as Gavin’s, as Gavin is more powerful and able


    than him.


    However, this action left Caleb in a state of confusion.


    “You… Dr. Myers, why did you do that? Why are you pping me? Did I say something wrong?” Caleb


    questioned, perplexed.


    Despite the Taylor family’s high status, Caleb was still a member of the family. However, his status


    didn’t hold much weight in front of the top physician, Harris, in Riverrun.


    Harris, with a look of anger in his eyes, waited for Caleb to respond.


    Harris stared at Caleb angrily and said, puzzled, “You wanted me to stop Dr. Clifford from saving your


    father? Do you want your father to die?”


    With Harris’s outburst, Caleb was left utterly bewildered and taken aback.
