Chapter 186


    Hewlett was one of the top medical experts in Mittera. If he were to state publicly in the world-renowned


    Banner Chronicles that Qustian traditional medicine was a hoax, they Qustians would definitely lose


    face as a result—unless they could refute him with strong evidence.At the thought of this, Scott said to


    ke, “Mr. Hemsworth, you’ve got to find a way! We mustn’t let these foreigners cken the name of


    our traditional medicine!”ke looked troubled with a bitter taste in his mouth. “I… I…”Just as he was


    stammering without being able to say aplete sentence, Matt stepped forward and said loudly,


    “Please calm down, everyone! Perhaps the Nicholson brat can really make it!” Well, the purpose I’ve


    made this such a grand asion is to smear Kingsley’s reputation and make him the people’s enemy


    so that he can never gain a foothold in Cleapolis. Won’t my and Felix’s ne to nothing if ke


    takes action? he thought to himself. Therefore, he hurriedly stepped forward and motioned everyone to


    watch Kingsley’s performance first.Seeing that Matt had spoken, the medical bigwigs led by Scott fell


    silent. After all, they were invited here by Matt and Felix, so they couldn’t steal the show from Matt and


    spoil his ns.The dense crowd upstairs gradually fell silent as well. After all, they had squeezed in to


    watch the spectacle. Seeing that Kingsley was now ready to perform acupuncture, they looked on with


    anticipation as to how he was going to make a fool of himself. To these ordinary citizens, even if


    Kingsley was unable to cure Joshua, those gray-haired and sage schrs surely had a way to do so to


    prevent the Mitterans fromughing at them. Therefore, after the excitement, most of them quietly


    looked on.ke could tell what everyone was thinking, but he felt so depressed that he was on the


    verge of tears. For the very first time, he felt that it wasn’t a good thing to be counted on. I’m already


    over 60 years old this year and will retire in a few years’ time. Why would I be made to do something


    entirely beyond myself?! Am I really gonna lose my reputation?! hemented to himself.Just as he was


    keeping his grievances to himself, Kingsley ran his eyes over everyone at the scene with a smile. He


    said impassively, “Since everyone wants to take a look at Qustian traditional medicine, I’ll show what


    I’m capable of!” As he spoke, he took the ivory box containing Gorgion’s Nine Needles out of his


    pocket.The instant the box was opened, the nine gold needles inside it gleamed faintly all at once.No


    one knew how precious the nine gold needles were, except for ke, who knew the grades of different


    acupuncture needles better than anyone else after having spent all his life researching traditional


    acupuncture. As a result, the depressed look on his face vanished in an instant. “T-Those needles…”


    Seeing the drastic change in his facial expression, Matt couldn’t help but smile sinisterly. As expected


    of Mr. Hemsworth, the Cleapolis Acupuncture Society’s chief expert. He must have noticed at a nce


    that Kingsley’s needles aren’t of standard quality! he thought to himself.The others had the same idea


    as Matt did.For a time, a myriad of expressions crossed the faces of everyone at the scene. Some


    looked disdainful, while some looked scornful; there were also some who looked furious and some who


    were gloating…It was truly a vivid panorama of all kinds of people.Kingsley didn’t care about these


    people’s expressions, though. Instead, he and Leroy worked together to move Joshua onto the


    operating table that had been prepared beforehand. After that, he took out a seven-inch-long needle


    and said to Joshua, “You don’t have to be nervous, Mr. Johnson. You may feel somewhat numb or sore


    during the process, but it’ll be over after you put up with it.”Joshua nodded vigorously. “I can put up with


    it. It’s okay even if I have to endure excruciating pain as long as I can get back on my feet!”“Okay! Here


    we go!” Kingsley replied. Then, he let out a deep bellow with a sudden gleam in his eyes!At this


    moment, he began to perform acupuncture, inserting the needle into the acupuncture point GB-34 of


    Joshua’s body. Then, he lightly flicked the needle’s handle—which had a dragon engraved on it—in a


    sh with his fingers.The needle vibrated slightly, producing a faint buzz. Buzz…Before the sound


    could fade, Kingsley quickly ran his hand over the ivory box, and the 3.6-inch-long filiform needle


    appeared between his fingers.Twisting the needle with his fingers, he then inserted the needle into the


    acupuncture point BL-30 of Joshua’s body by one and a half inches. Holding the needle gently in his


    right hand, he pulled out, reinserted, and twisted the needle slightly at short intervals, causing the


    needle to vibrate slightly.“Ah…” Joshua couldn’t help but moan in pain as beads of sweat oozed from


    his forehead. His moan of pain seemed particrly abrupt in the silent Sunshine Auditorium.Only then


    did everyone who had been fascinated by the sight of the scenee to their senses.“Holy cow! I felt


    like I was dreaming just now and was spellbound by his technique…”“Me too. I don’t know what was


    going on, but Ipletely forgot what I was doing!”Meanwhile, Scott, ke, and the few other bigwigsContent held by N?velDrama.Org.


    in traditional medicine opened their mouths agape, looking stupefied as though they had all lost their


    minds. “W-What is this weird technique?!”
