Chapter 14 - The Farmer And The Snake
Derrick and Joceline were amazed. It was the first time they saw the supreme stunt that was meridian resonance.
As the needles trembled in the acupoints, an even more amazing scene happened. From Jace's extremities, something black flowed through his blood vessels, in a way visible to the naked eye, toward his throat.
It was as if there were countless black earthworms wriggling under the blood vessels. They were the toxins that had spread throughout Jace's body.
"Aaaargh! It hurts! I'm dying!"
Jace's body trembled in excruciating pain as the silver needle extracted the poison.
Joceline suddenly became anxious and grabbed Augustus. "What are you doing? Why is Jace hurting so much? Are you harming him?! I think you're just taking advantage of this to settle your grudge, aren't you? Stop curing him! Hurry up and stop!"
Seeing Joceline like this, Augustus finally understood why Jace was such a scumbag. He was completely spoiled by Joceline!
Spare the rod and spoil the child. That saying was completely true!
Seeing how Joceline was so anxious that she was about to pull the needle out herself, Howard slapped her across the face.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?! Are you trying to kill Jace?!"
Joceline fell to the ground after the hit and looked at Jace, crying in distress.
As a mother, Joceline pampered and spoiled Jace, but her love had caused countless innocent people to be harmed.
With the moxibustion needles and vital energy, all the toxins were pushed to Jace's throat.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of black blood gushed out of Jace's mouth and he passed out.
"Jace!"
Derrick quickly rushed over.
Joceline pointed to Augustus and shrieked, "You b*stard, if anything happens to Jace, I'll never forgive you!"
"Cough cough…"
Jace coughed twice and woke up.
"Mr. Cross, how is Jace?"
Augustus put away the needles one by one. "Don't worry, the melanoma has disappeared. He's fine now."
Howard looked over and saw that the melanoma on Jace's feet had completely disappeared, and was immediately overjoyed.
"He's cured! He's really cured!"
Howard was so happy he knelt in front of Augustus. "Mr. Cross, you're basically the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. I will never forget your great kindness today!"
As he spoke, he took out a bank card and handed it to Augustus.
"Mr. Cross, there's 50 million in this card. Thank you for saving Jace's life. Please accept it!"
Before Augustus could say anything, Derrick snatched the card away.
"50 million? Dad, you're giving him too much!"
"That's right, he only used twenty minutes. How is such a short amount of time worth so much money? If you ask me, just give him one million. Didn't Jace say this earlier, Mr. Cross's family conditions aren't that good. One million is already a lot for him."
Joceline looked mean and did not appear grateful at all.
Augustus snorted coldly. With the couple's personality, it was not strange at all that their son turned out to be such a scumbag.
Howard's face flushed in anger. "If Mr. Cross hadn't helped, Jace would've died! How could you turn your back on him after he saved Jace? You're too much!"
Joceline crossed her arms and said calmly, "Dad, you can't say that. If you ask me, Jace's illness might not have been that serious. If it was, how could he have cured Jace so easily?"
Derrick nodded in agreement. "Joceline has a point. How about this— You, whatever your name is, you can go back first. We'll transfer the one million to you when we have time."
Derrick basically told Augustus to get out.
"You…"
Howard was so angry that he was trembling, and Augustus laughed instead.
He saw a real-life version of the story with the farmer and the snake.
However, what the Zander family did next told Augustus that he did not know the story deep enough.
Jace wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up.
He could clearly feel that the toxins in his body had disappeared, and his whole body was rejuvenated.
"You made me bow to you and you still want money? I'm telling you, don't even think about the money. You won't even be able to walk out of this courtyard!"
Jace snorted coldly.
Just as he spoke, a commotion came from outside and a dozen young men rushed into the room.
Looking over, Augustus saw the pack of scoundrels that were with Jace yesterday. Even the blonde Andy Cabot was there too.
In fact, when Augustus was in the living room, Jace had already sent a message to Andy and the others, telling them to come here to teach Jace a lesson.
From the very beginning, Jace had no intention of being nice to Augustus!
Howard frowned, "Jace, what are you doing?!"
A ruthless expression surfaced on Jace's face. "What am I doing? Of course, I'm going to teach Doctor Cross a lesson! I'll teach him how to behave in front of me!"
Then, he signalled Andy.
"Come on, break both of his legs so he kneels for the rest of his life and can never stand up!"
