Chapter 10

With him taking action, it’s a sure thing!

James Jarvis knew that young people care about their reputation, so he immediately introduced him to everyone: “This is William LeeYoung Li, a highly skilled doctor from the imperial capital, disciple of the imperial physician George LewisMr. Lewis!”

Then he bowed to William Lee: “Young Li, we’re counting on you!”

Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim “Oh!” in surprise—he’s from the imperial capital, and a disciple of an imperial physician at that. Instantly, they felt a sense of awe.

However, he wasn’t as good-looking as the previous young man.

William Lee gave a reserved smile. With his status, how could he care about such insignificant people?

If he hadn’t happened to meet the young lady of Huichun Hall, Grace Lynn, in Matthew Monk and fallen in love at first sight, how could he have stayed in such a small city?

Now, he was only stepping forward to show off in front of Grace Lynn. Of course, the city lord was also quite influential, so earning a favor along the way wouldn’t hurt.

He checked the patient, then said, “None of the vital organs are damaged. As long as the bleeding is stopped, there will be no problem.”

Although he spoke lightly, everyone around could see clearly that the child’s bleeding simply wouldn’t stop—even with pressure, blood kept oozing through the fingers.

How could it be easy to stop this bleeding?

William Lee took out a bottle from his robe. But unlike the previous bottle, this one was much more exquisite—not only was it made of jade, but it was also engraved with a lifelike plum blossom.

He said calmly, “This is Feiyun Powder, newly developed by my master. It has an excellent effect on stopping bleeding.”

James Jarvis immediately flattered him, saying, “So it’s the handiwork of Dr. Lewis. Then it’s sure to stop the bleeding instantly.”

William Lee just smiled. He poured out a bit of the powder and applied it to the child’s wound.

The powder immediately started to bubble, forming a thin film that covered the entire wound, and the bleeding stopped at once.

“Young Li, you’re truly amazing!” James Jarvis was overjoyed—now his life was saved.

No, no, no—he had saved the city lord’s young son. He was going to rise to great heights!

Everyone else was also amazed. This medicine was simply miraculous.

Pfft!

But just then, the child’s wound suddenly burst open again, and blood gushed out like a spring.

William Lee frowned. In fact, whether the child lived or died, or whether the city lord of Matthew Monk got angry, had nothing to do with him. But since he had stepped in and still failed to save the child, it was a blow to his reputation.

He sprinkled more powder on the child’s wound, but this time it was completely useless—the blood washed it away immediately.

This!

William Lee checked again, then his face darkened. He said, “The assassin must have used a barbed blade. The wound isn’t large, but the damage is severe. Unless my master were here to perform the Eighteen Life-Saving Needles to stop the bleeding, there’s no way to save him.”

In other words, he was powerless.

After hearing this, James Jarvis broke out in a cold sweat.

It’s over. Even William Lee can’t save him—the young master is sure to die here, and if the city lord takes out his anger, he’s doomed.

For a moment, he felt the world spinning and was about to collapse.

“Woof—” Just then, a miserable cry rang out, but it was definitely not human—it was a dog’s bark.

Everyone turned to look and saw that the handsome young man had used a small knife to cut a huge wound on the yellow dog he’d brought with him.

Huh, what are you doing?

The big yellow dog barked madly—damn it, this lunatic is at it again!

Someone save me, please!

Everyone was curious, not knowing why Henry Stone suddenly did this.

Even if you want to show off, you should pick the right time and place!

But next, they understood.

Henry Stone took out a bottle, poured some powder on the wound, and—miraculously—the bleeding stopped immediately.

This!

What an incredible hemostatic effect.

Henry Stone smiled and put the big yellow dog on the ground, letting go.

Immediately, the big yellow dog bolted away. When it reached the door, it turned back and bared its teeth at Henry Stone.

If it could talk, it would have cursed Henry Stone out thoroughly by now.

After barking a few times to vent its anger, the big yellow dog turned and ran off at top speed. Even with such vigorous movement, its wound didn’t reopen.

Amazing!

Everyone thought so in their hearts. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed it?

James Jarvis saw this and immediately felt hope.

The hemostatic effect of this wound medicine was so astonishing—if it was used to treat the city lord’s son, it should be a sure thing.

But he was well aware of his previous attitude.

Want Henry Stone to save the boy?

He couldn’t help but regret it deeply. If he’d known the wound medicine was so miraculous, he should have accepted it earlier. Now, if Henry Stone could turn the tide and save the city lord’s son, what a great merit that would be!

However, Henry Stone only showed everyone the effect of his wound medicine and then stopped—wasn’t his meaning obvious?

James Jarvis had no choice but to swallow his pride and say to Henry Stone, “One hundred taels of silver—I’ll buy this bottle of wound medicine!”
