Master Miller stopped in his tracks and glanced at Winston. He said, “What do you mean by this? Are you going to let me be ridiculed by an inexperienced young boy?”
Master Miller’s attitude caused Winston’s expression to change. He looked at Leo and said, “Young man, normally you would be treated with respect as a guest brought by the young lady. However, today is not convenient, so please leave.”
Winston directly issued an order to dismiss Leo.
Nicola exclaimed anxiously, “Winston, Leo really came specifically to treat my father. Moreover, Leo came with me. You can’t let him leave!”
Winston usually doted on Nicola, but in this situation, Jason’s illness took priority.
“Nicola, you have grown up. Can’t you be more sensible?” Winston reprimanded with a stern tone.
Nicola looked aggrieved and was about to retort when Leo pulled her hand and looked at Winston, saying, “Sir, as the saying goes, appearances can be deceiving, and the vastness of the sea cannot be measured. I haven’t made a move yet, so how do you know I can’t cure Mr. Pater?”
“To be honest, if it weren’t for Nicola’s sake, I would never have appeared here today!”
Leo then looked at Master Miller and sneered, “Master Miller, is it? If you want to leave, then hurry up and leave. You can’t even heal minor injuries and pains, yet you have the audacity to call yourself a master!”
Master Miller’s face completely darkened.
As a Fourth-rank Alchemist, he was treated respectfully as an esteemed guest in any martial family or sect in the entire Ron State. Today, he was being accused face to face by a brat, and he couldn’t swallow this insult!
“The injuries left by a high-level warrior are considered minor injuries and pains? Kid, aren’t you afraid of twisting your tongue with such words?”
Master Miller sneered and continued sarcastically, “Boy, your pompous face disgusts me. Fine, I won’t leave. I’ll stay here and watch you treat Mr. Pater.”
“If you can heal Mr. Pater’s injuries, I will personally acknowledge you as my master in front of Winston and the members of the Pater family. But if you fail to heal Mr. Pater, I will strike you with a single palm!”
“Are you daring enough?”
Leo disdainfully said, “I have no interest in being a master of a foolish disciple like you. Let’s make a bet instead. If I heal Mr. Pater, you give me 1 billion. And if I fail to heal him, I will give you 1 billion. How about that?”
“Heh, your boasting is getting bigger and bigger. Do you have 1 billion?” Master Miller glanced sideways, showing a contemptuous expression.
“If I can’t produce 1 billion, you can strike me.”
“In that case, I’ll gamble with you!” Master Miller was not only greedy but also a gambler.
Leo had doubts about Master Miller’s character, so he added, “First, transfer the money to the Pater family’s account, with Winston serving as the witness.”
“Hmph, go ahead and transfer it. I’m not afraid of you trying to cheat!” Master Miller sneered and took out a bank card.
Master Miller didn’t believe that a brat claiming to be a traditional medicine practitioner, who appeared out of nowhere, could heal an injury that even he couldn’t cure!
First, Master Miller transferred 1 billion, and then Leo transferred 1 billion.
If you’re wondering how Leo had so much money, the reason is simple: he is currently the behind-the-scenes boss of Leo & Rose Cosmetics.
With the sales and profits of Beautiful Visage, even if Leo were to produce 1 billion now, there would be no problem.
When Winston confirmed that Leo’s 1 billion had been transferred, his gaze towards Leo changed slightly.
Setting aside whether Leo could cure Jason or not, the fact that he could produce 1 billion at such a young age indicated that he was not an ordinary person.
For Leo’s ability to produce 1 billion, Master Miller was slightly surprised, but he had to maintain his dignity.
“Kid, please proceed,” Master Miller said with a sneer. “Let’s be clear about one thing. If you fail to cure Mr. Pater or worsen his condition, don’t come begging to me.”
Jason, who had been sitting in a wheelchair all this time, remained silent. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, but he was constantly using his internal energy to resist the cold toxins in his body, making it difficult for him to speak.
Leo took out the Golden Dragon Silver Needle given to him by Marina and said to Nicola, “Nicola, push your father to the center of the hall.”
Nicola’s heart was filled with anticipation, so she followed the instructions and pushed her father to the center of the hall.
Seeing the peculiar acupuncture silver needles in Leo’s hand, Master Miller frowned for a moment but still didn’t take Leo seriously.
Leo then had the servant bring a recliner and asked Nicola’s uncle, Charlie, to carry Jason onto it.
The recliner shook as Jason’s body trembled.
Charlie quickly took a blanket from the wheelchair and was about to cover Jason with it.
Leo stopped him and said, “Put away the blanket and any other warming objects. Also, please remove Mr. Pater’s upper body clothes.”
Charlie hesitated, holding the blanket in his hands, his face filled with difficulty. He couldn’t help but look at Winston and Master Miller.
Master Miller couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Kid, there’s a limit to pretending! Since you claim to be a medicine practitioner, shouldn’t you first take the pulse? How dare you remove Mr. Pater’s warm clothing before doing so? Do you think he’s not cold enough?”
At this moment, Master Miller was absolutely sure that Leo was just seeking attention from the audience.
“Kid, for the sake of Mr. Pater’s life, let me remind you once again that Mr. Pater has been inflicted with the Cold Inner Power of an Elder from the Iron Sword Sect.”
“If you don’t take effective measures to keep Mr. Pater warm, his blood will freeze within three hours.”
Although Master Miller’s words were unpleasant to hear, the members of the Pater family couldn’t help but frown. If what he said was true, wasn’t the family head in immediate danger?
Leo glanced at Master Miller and said coldly, “Mr. Pater’s injury is located between his two chests. The Cold Inner Power has already invaded his heart and spread throughout his body with each heartbeat.”
“Mr. Pater has been injured for at least three days. Due to the continuous invasion of the Cold Inner Power, he has lost sensation in his lower limbs, rendering him unable to walk.”
“Heh, you speak so confidently. It must have been Miss Pater who told you all this,” Master Miller said dismissively. “If you’re going to treat him, do it quickly. If you delay Mr. Pater’s condition, the Pater family won’t let you off!”
Leo didn’t want to explain any further and looked at Charlie, saying, “Every minute and second is precious now. If you’ve asked me to treat him, then follow my instructions.”
Charlie still struggled and hesitated. After all, it involved Jason’s life and couldn’t be taken lightly.
