Chapter 13 - What Goes Around, Comes Around
Jace also finally came to his senses. If Augustus did not help him, he would really meet the grim reaper!
Thus, he gnashed his teeth and finally knelt in front of Augustus.
"Augustus, please help me!"
Augustus looked at Jace in front of him and said with a calm expression, "Your voice is too low. I can't hear you."
He returned the words spoken by Jace yesterday back to him.
Jace's expression turned ferocious. "F*ck you! Don't go too far!"
Augustus smiled. "Am I going too far? You don't have to do this. I won't force you."
"You…"
Jace choked on his words.
Joceline wanted to say something, but Howard glared at her.
Although Howard did not know what happened between them, he was well aware of his grandson's virtues.
If Jace had not gone overboard, a person with Augustus's character would not make things hard for him!
Howard was so angry he slapped Jace's head. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bow!"
Derrick and Joceline stood by the side, not daring to add to the mess.
Jace clenched his fists in anger. Now, he wanted nothing more than to kill Augustus.
However, for the sake of his miserable life, he finally bowed his head.
Bam!
"Please save me!"
Augustus's face was calm without any ripples.
Howard understood. "Again!"
Jace gnashed his teeth and bowed again.
Bam!
"Please save me!"
"Again! Do it until Mr. Cross is satisfied!"
Bam bam bam bam!
"Augustus, I was wrong!
"You're a magnanimous person who won't harbor grudges. Please forgive me!
"Please save me!"
"Please! Please!"
Jace's desire to live exploded as he desperately bowed and begged for mercy. His forehead split open and blood streamed down, just like how Augustus was yesterday.
Looking at his humble posture now, Augustus did not feel that pleased.
What goes around, comes around!
Jace got what he deserved!
Moments later, Jace's face was covered with blood, and the floor was stained red too.
"Enough."
Augustus finally spoke, "Go get ready. I'll treat you now."
Howard and the others finally sighed in relief.
Jace was also granted amnesty and finally stopped.
However, a vicious look flashed under his expression.
At his age, he had never been as humiliated as he was today. He would definitely not let this matter rest like this!
After that, Augustus began to check Jace's pulse.
According to the [Eternal Qihuang Arts], there was actually a distinction between the surface pulse and the nether pulse.
However, because of faults when passing on knowledge about the medical arts, the practitioners of medicine today could only diagnose the surface pulse.
In reality, it was the nether pulse that could reflect more clearly human diseases.
At that time, Augustus injected a burst of vital energy into Jace's body with his fingertips. All the invisible veins under Jace's skin lit up like lamps, fully displayed in Augustus's mind.
Augustus could see clearly all the parts infected by the black toxin. It was the toxin that came from the malignant melanoma!
It was not an exaggeration to say that Jace was terminally ill. Augustus's previous judgment was not wrong at all. With Jace's current condition, it would be an overestimation to say that Jace could stay alive for ten days.
"Mr. Cross, can you… cure Jace's illness?"
Augustus withdrew his hand and looked at Howard. "Don't worry, it's not too late. Did you find the Primordial Nine Needles I told you to get?"
"Yes!"
Howard quickly handed over a delicate sandalwood box.
Opening the box, the Primordial Nine Needles that Augustus wanted laid inside!
The Primordial Nine Needles included the arrow-headed needle, round needle, spoon needle, lance needle, stiletto needle, and so on. Each needle had its own function.
Augustus's finger swept five long needles and stabbed them into Jace's Shaofu and Taichong points on his hands and feet, respectively, and the last one at the Baihui point on his head.
This was the "Five Pole Gate Seal" that sealed all the outlets for the toxin.
Howard and the others watched as Augustus stabbed five needles into Jace instantaneously.
Derrick and Joceline no longer dared to underestimate the young man in front of them.
Augustus reached out once again and pierced the long needle and spoon needle into Jace's Sanyang and Yongquan points.
The long needle was thin and slender, and was mainly used to treat pathogenic energy.
The spoon needle had a slightly round tip that would replenish the meridians and cause the pathogenic energy to exit.
The toxin from the melanoma had invaded almost all parts of Jace's body, so Augustus used this method of blocking the exits and purifying the insides to remove the toxicity.
A few moments later, all the other needles were in place. All nine needles were used to their greatest potential!
Howard's heart flooded with waves upon seeing this scene in front of him.
There was probably no other person in this world who was able to use these long lost Primordial Nine Needles in such a perfect way.
However, the stunning part had just begun.
"Rise!"
With a deep shout from Augustus, the needles trembled and hummed violently on Jace's body as if they were alive.
This scene caused Derrick and Joceline to stare with wide-eyed shock.
"Oh my God, the needles… are alive!"
