Chapter 9 He’s a Pervert

Upon seeing the photo, Jessica’s expression turned serious, and her smile faded. “Where did this come from?” “I stumbled upon it in a group chat.” Brittany presented the chat log for Jessica’s review, a concoction she fabricated using a burner account. She had portrayed Daniel as a pervert, warning the whole city to be on guard. The post stirred up outrage among the group members, all swearing to expose the reprehensible rogue. Jessica’s face darkened while reading the chat log. Daniel was a pervert?! “I’ll take care of it; you may go now.

” Brittany, having succeeded in her plan, left the CEO’s office singing like a gleeful mockingbird. How could such a nobody think to contend with her? Daniel needed to find some herbs to suppress the restive seal inside him, as obtaining The Grass of Sealed Dragon might take time. He decided to visit the herbal market, and as he approached the market entrance, he noticed a store—Healthy Land. Was this the place Christopher mentioned? Crowds had gathered inside the hall; it seemed a spectacle was unfolding. A burly middle-aged man lay on a stretcher, his face darkened, seemingly a martial artist who suffered an accident while training. Daniel was right; the man was Ryan Rose, the chairman of the Delvin Hub Martial Club United. An older man in traditional attire approached Ryan with a bowl of medicinal soup. Daniel, recognizing the scent and color of the brew, knew it was meant to treat training mishaps. What he didn’t know was that the old man was Joshua himself! As Joshua moved to feed Ryan, Daniel urgently warned, “Don’t—if you give him that, he’ll vomit blood and die!” Joshua, taken aback, looked at Daniel with disdain, “Who the F are you?”

The recipe came from The Grants’ secret formulas—how could there be an issue? A woman in a leather outfit, with short ear-length hair, sharp features, and an air of gallantry, darkened her face. She glared at Daniel, scolding fiercely. “Master Joshua is Estella’s best doctor; his medicine never fails. You understand what he’s giving? Interrupt again, and I’ll break your mouth!” She was Ryan’s only daughter, Heather Rose. She had exerted considerable effort and pulled strings to bring Joshua in after her father’s injury during practice. Now, she wouldn’t let Daniel’s doubts stop Joshua from treating her father and threatened to beat Daniel to a pulp if his interference continued. Master Joshua? Estella’s best doctor? Could this old man indeed be Joshua? Daniel fell silent, opting to watch the unfolding scene. Satisfied with Daniel’s retreat, Joshua and Heather turned their attention away from him. Joshua fed Ryan the medicine personally due to the precise dosage needed. Even the slightest error by another’s hand could affect its potency. As Ryan ingested The Cure, the blackness on his face began to fade. “Master Joshua isn’t just a doctor; he’s a miracle worker! Ryan’s improving immediately after taking the medicine!” “Of course, Master Joshua is the best doctor in Estella.” “The mysterious and ancient medical techniques passed down through 48 generations in Master Joshua’s family are incredibly powerful!” … Praise filled the air, and the reason Joshua chose the lobby for Ryan’s treatment with an audience was deliberate. Delvin Hub’s Healthy Land had just launched, and they needed a promotion. Ryan woke up, looking well and sitting up from the stretcher. Joshua checked his pulse and saw no issues. Ryan seemed in the clear. “How are you feeling, Ryan?”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Great! Not only did Master Joshua’s medicine heal my internal injuries from practicing martial arts, but it also cured my old injuries. Master Joshua, you’ve saved my life, and I don’t know how to thank you enough. Healthy Land truly is the best medical facility. From now on, any disciple from Delvin Hub Martial Club United who gets injured or falls ill—I’ll have them treated at Healthy Land!” Joshua then turned his attention to Daniel. “Have you studied medicine?” “I’ve learned a bit from village healers and have some understanding.” “Recognizing The Cure at a glance shows your teacher must have been competent. But your youthful arrogance and eagerness to show off are off-putting. Such traits hinder greatness. However, I can offer you an opportunity. Healthy Land at Delvin Hub is newly opened and needs staff. I can take you on as an apprentice. Healthy Land values talent, and if you truly have potential, it will not go to waste.” “Take me as an apprentice? Are you even worthy?”
