Instagram Handle | |
Body | Chapter 1 The Wedding Cancelled<br /> <br /> "Are you the fiancé my grandfather arranged for me?"<br /> <br /> In a farm somewhere in Dexas, Daniel Perkins eyed the gorgeous woman in front of him. She was donned in a figure-hugging dress with curves in all the right places, sporting a well-defined waist and a pair of striking features.<br /> <br /> "And you are?"<br /> <br /> "Your fiancée, president of Zen Byte, Jennifer Hawkins!"<br /> <br /> My fiancée?<br /> <br /> Daniel remembered that the old man had indeed mentioned he arranged a marriage for him.<br /> <br /> "Are you here to marry me?"<br /> <br /> "Me? Marry you? You country bumpkin! You're broke, and let's face it, not a looker. What makes you think you can afford me? My shoes alone cost three grand! A dress goes for five! I splurge more than a hundred thousand a month on makeup and beauty treatments. Can you handle that?"<br /> <br /> "Nope, can't afford it. And I never had any plans of footing your insane bills."<br /> <br /> "Oh, not prepared, are you? Can't handle it? Listen, I'm here to call this travesty off. Gimme the contract so we can be done with each other for good."<br /> <br /> Daniel retrieved a box the old man had left for him, unlocking with a growing sense of dread. The old man had mentioned a marriage contract alright, but he hadn't mentioned there were this many...<br /> <br /> Inside the box were a total of nine marriage contracts. Daniel went through them one by one, indeed finding one that belonged to Jennifer.<br /> <br /> He pulled it out and handed it over to her.<br /> <br /> Jennifer cursed under her breath upon seeing the stack in Daniel's hands. She then snatched her contract and shredded it mercilessly, tossing the pieces to the wind.<br /> <br /> "Done. Our agreement is void. We have nothing to do with each other now!"<br /> <br /> With that, Jennifer stomped away in her high heels, her anger echoing with each step.<br /> <br /> No sooner had she left did Daniel feel a surge of heat in his throat, spitting out blood.<br /> <br /> "Ugh..."<br /> <br /> It wasn't the broken engagement that made him bleed but a failing dragon seal within him. If he couldn't find the legendary Dragon Seal Grass within a year, the seal would break and he'd be dead.<br /> <br /> He had to move, and fast.<br /> <br /> Time was ticking and Daniel needed to find the Dragon Seal Grass, hopefully to cancel the other unexpected contracts along the way.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> The iron beast roared down the runway as a sweet voice chimed in from the airplane's speaker system.<br /> <br /> "We're about to land in Leo Bark. Please prepare for disembarkation..."<br /> <br /> Daniel had been meditating throughout the flight to suppress the seal. As the plane slowed to a stop, he stretched and got ready to deboard. Suddenly, his Seven Dragons Ring slipped off his neck and rolled away under a seat.<br /> <br /> Bending down to retrieve it, a piercing shriek startled him.<br /> <br /> In front of Daniel were a pair of long, shapely legs. Dazzled by an unexpected flash of light, he looked up.<br /> <br /> Click! Click!<br /> <br /> Jennifer was snapping photos with her phone, snapping away at what she called a 'pervert' below.<br /> <br /> After saving the incriminating shots, she realized the man at her feet was Daniel.<br /> <br /> "Is it you? What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "Nothing, just picking up my ring," Daniel replied.<br /> <br /> "Do you expect me to believe that? You, a filthy rogue! Are you stalking me because I called off the engagement? Let me tell you, this is harassment!"<br /> <br /> "You? Not interested! Harass you? Even less interested!"<br /> <br /> "Not interested? You deliberately dropped that stupid ring near my feet. Don't pretend I don't know what you're up to!"<br /> <br /> Daniel pocketed the Seven Dragons Ring without a word and walked away.<br /> <br /> "Stop right there!"<br /> <br /> "What now?"<br /> <br /> "This is the last time I'm saying this—never let anyone know we were engaged. I can't stand the shame! And don't you dare show your face around me again. If you harass me, I'll call the cops. With those photos, they'll have all they need to put you behind bars."<br /> <br /> "Boring."<br /> <br /> Outside the airport, Daniel walked past Jennifer, carrying her trendy LV bag.<br /> <br /> "Why are you following me?"<br /> <br /> Turning around, he replied with slight frustration, "I'm ahead; you’re behind. It's the other way around."<br /> <br /> Then, a sleek two-tone Rolls-Royce pulled up, and a distinguished elderly gentleman stepped out.<br /> <br /> Jennifer's heart skipped a beat. David?<br /> <br /> She recognized the car plate—it was one of The Matthews' cars, and the man was their butler, David Wagner!<br /> <br /> Zen Byte had worked so hard to be noticed by The Matthews Organization, now on their shortlist for partnership. The final selection was due next week.<br /> <br /> David approached Jennifer, completely ignoring her fawning introduction, and she was left talking to thin air. But soon, David was bowing deeply to Daniel, a man she had written off as a loser.<br /> <br /> Confused, Jennifer lingered close by to eavesdrop.<br /> <br /> "Are you the venerable Mr. Daniel Perkins?"<br /> <br /> "Well, 'venerable' is a stretch, but yes, I'm Daniel. Who are you?"<br /> <br /> "I'm David, The Matthews' butler. Miss Jessica sent me. She's your fiancée, waiting at home."<br /> <br /> With an invitation from The Matthews, Daniel was swept away, leaving Jennifer standing alone, dumbfounded.<br /> Chapter 2 I'm the Fool<br /> <br /> <br /> Jennifer stood frozen, her face sprayed with exhaust fumes and her expensive attire covered in the dust kicked up by the car's wheels. Her thirty thousand dollar heels and fifty thousand dollar dress were now no better than second-hand bargains. The pricey makeup on her face had been touched by the dust, and she looked no better than a homeless wanderer. But above all, she was utterly stunned by the conversation she had overheard.<br /> <br /> Jessica was Daniel's fiancée?<br /> Jessica had sent David to pick him up?<br /> And she referred to him as the honorable Mr. Daniel Perkins?<br /> He was just a country bumpkin, a loathsome toad—honorable Mr. Daniel Perkins my foot! He was nothing but a con artist, a greedy, lecherous loser!<br /> There’s no way Jessica was going to marry him. She must be planning to cancel the wedding, just like Jennifer wanted to.<br /> This mess was all that loser's fault. She had to make him pay!<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce pulled into the lavish estate belonging to The Matthews, a villa complex spanning thousands of square meters, with pavilions, murmuring streams, lush greenery, and birds chirping amongst the flowers.<br /> Every step revealed a scene more breathtaking than the last—it was a Wonderland in the heart of New York City, exclusively for the prominent Matthews family.<br /> <br /> Daniel was ushered into the living room where David served him a cup of top-notch coffee before leaving.<br /> <br /> Click-clack, click-clack! The elegant rhythm of high heels on the floor announced the arrival of a stunning beauty. Words could only defile her enchanting presence. This was Jessica Matthews, the eldest daughter of The Matthews family, president of The Matthews Organization (TMO), and New York's number one beauty!<br /> At just one glance, Daniel was spellbound.<br /> <br /> "Are you Daniel, my fiancé?"<br /> "Err... yes." Daniel snapped back to reality.<br /> <br /> Daniel, having already been dumped once, eagerly fetched the marriage contract and handed it to Jessica.<br /> <br /> "You've come to call off the marriage, right? Here's the contract. From now on, we're strangers. Don't worry, I won't appear before you again, nor will I tell anyone you were once my fiancée."<br /> <br /> "When did I say I wanted to cancel it?"<br /> <br /> "You're not canceling?"<br /> <br /> "This contract was drawn up by my grandfather, and I honor his decision. I will marry you. We'll register our marriage tomorrow, but before that, I have some conditions."<br /> <br /> "What conditions?"<br /> <br /> "I’m marrying you solely because of this contract, not out of love, so no wedding ceremony. You can’t tell anyone we’re married. Publicly, you are my assistant, not my husband. Plus, I'm giving you a year as a trial period. If you can make me fall in love with you, we'll have a real ceremony and be true husband and wife. If I still feel nothing after a year, we'll divorce. One more thing, if we do become a true couple, I have a gift for you. It's an unsightly, wilted herb called the Dragon Seal Grass."<br /> <br /> The Dragon Seal Grass?<br /> <br /> Daniel's heart leaped with excitement.<br /> <br /> "Uh, if after a year you still don't fancy me, can I keep the Dragon Seal Grass as a memento? You said it was ugly and wilty, so it’s probably not worth much. Just as a keepsake."<br /> <br /> "No way! That's a gift for the man who truly wins my heart!"<br /> <br /> Daniel: ...<br /> <br /> Just then, Jessica's phone rang.<br /> <br /> "What? I'm on my way!"<br /> <br /> Hanging up, she turned to Daniel, "My grandfather's critically ill. We need to go to the hospital now."<br /> <br /> "Okay!"<br /> <br /> Clutching his dusty plastic bag as if it were a treasure, Daniel hurried after her.<br /> <br /> "Why are you carrying that? No one's going to steal it."<br /> <br /> "It might come in handy."<br /> <br /> Speechless but too preoccupied to care, Jessica left it at that.<br /> <br /> At the hospital's emergency room, Jessica's secretary, Brittany Cunningham, paced anxiously.<br /> <br /> As Jessica and Daniel arrived, the emergency room doors burst open, and the doctors emerged.<br /> <br /> "Michael, how is my grandfather?"<br /> <br /> "We've tried everything, but he's beyond our help. However, there's still a breath of life in him. If you can get The Great Stephens here, perhaps there's hope."<br /> <br /> "The Great Stephens?"<br /> <br /> "He's the one who can snatch lives from the hands of death, The Great Stephens—Christopher Stephens! He's New York's number one mystical doctor, but he’s been resting for a long time. It's going to be very difficult to persuade him to act."<br /> <br /> As Michael finished speaking...<br /> <br /> "Mr. Christopher is here."<br /> <br /> Andrew Armstrong walked in with an elderly gentleman—the renowned Christopher. An Easterner whose arrival date in New York was unknown, people were only aware of his miraculous healing techniques. Christopher's methods had never failed.<br /> <br /> He approached the bed, lifted Joseph's eyelids, and checked his pulse.<br /> <br /> "Master Christopher, how is my grandfather?"<br /> <br /> "The situation is grave. Only my ancestral Nine Dry Needling technique stands a chance. Not even gods could save him otherwise."<br /> <br /> "Please, Master Christopher, save my grandfather, and The Matthews will repay you generously."<br /> <br /> "Miss Jessica, I'm here at Mr. Andrew’s request, so saving your grandfather is up to him."<br /> <br /> Andrew stepped forward, arrogantly bargaining, "Jessica, you know what I want. Agree to marry me, and Master Christopher will save your grandfather. If you refuse, he won't lift a finger, and your grandfather will meet his end. Remember, he is The Matthews' world, and if anything were to happen to him, The Matthews would be finished."<br /> Chapter 3 Joseph Died<br /> <br /> "Andrew, do you have to be so despicably shameless?" Jessica retorted with disdain.<br /> <br /> "I've tried to woo you fairly and squarely! I’ve sent you roses, bags, and whatnot! But you wouldn’t even give me the chance to take you out for dinner or see a movie. Now, your grandfather's life hangs in my hands. It's your choice whether he lives or dies."<br /> <br /> Daniel stepped forward, assuredly telling Jessica, "I can save your grandfather's life."<br /> <br /> "You can save him? Who let this idiot in here? Didn't you know that this area is off-limits to outsiders? Get out of here, now!" Brittany, who had not noticed Daniel before and was unaware he was brought by Jessica, mistakenly thought he was trouble.<br /> <br /> "He's my newly hired assistant, Daniel," Jessica clarified.<br /> <br /> A new assistant? It clicked in Brittany's mind, and she scolded Daniel, "Are you trying to impress Ma'am Jessica by saying such nonsensical things? Even if you want to show off, you should at least know what you’re doing! If Michael has no solution, what can you do? You're not even a doctor! Only Master Christopher can save the chairman now."<br /> <br /> Daniel ignored Brittany and seriously said to Jessica, "I'm absolutely confident that I can bring your grandfather back."<br /> <br /> "Shut up!" yelled Jessica, who clearly didn’t believe Daniel. If even Michael said it was hopeless, how could this young man possibly save him? Her grandfather couldn't die!<br /> <br /> Gritting her teeth, Jessica told Andrew, "If Master Christopher can save my grandfather, I will agree to marry you!"<br /> <br /> "Great! That's more like it!" A triumphantly smug smile spread across Andrew's face.<br /> <br /> "Master Christopher, I'm counting on you. Save him, and whatever I promised you before, I'll double it."<br /> <br /> "I seldom intervene, but when I do, I can snatch life from the jaws of death! I will save Mr. Joseph for Mr. Andrew!" Christopher proclaimed.<br /> <br /> His assistant brought a sandalwood box, which sprang open with a loud bang, emitting a golden glow. Inside were nine radiant needles, each with a meticulously carved kirin—a creature of great mystical power in Eastern legends—on the tip.<br /> <br /> Christopher's hands, more delicate than a woman's and as pure as white jade, passed slowly over the needles, causing them to stand erect and buzz softly in the box. This magical display astonished everyone present.<br /> <br /> "Wow! He didn't even touch the needles and they stood up. Master Christopher is incredible!"<br /> <br /> "That's called 'energy needle control', a divine skill. Master Yin was a famous healer 30 years ago, and now he's a deity!"<br /> <br /> "Of course, he's a god; otherwise, how could he save people from death itself?"<br /> <br /> Amid the praise, Christopher waved his hand, and the nine needles zoomed into the air above Joseph, circling like eagles.<br /> <br /> "With the first needle, Ascending, rest the soul and steady the body!" He uttered a chant as a needle whizzed down, striking precisely into Joseph’s Ascending acupoint. As soon as the needle pierced the skin, Joseph's pallid visage regained some color.<br /> <br /> Brittany turned to Jessica, excitement in her voice. "Ma'am Jessica, look! The chairman can be saved. With just one needle, Master Christopher has restored your father's complexion."<br /> <br /> "Quiet."<br /> <br /> From the first needle, it seemed Christopher genuinely had skills that warranted the title of a divine healer. However, Daniel was unimpressed because he had already diagnosed the true cause of Joseph's ailment, knowing that Christopher's diagnosis was incorrect.<br /> <br /> The first needle targeted the Ascending, and Daniel knew the second would inevitably be the Spirit Ruins, followed by Noble Palace, then God’s Place. These are critical points in Eastern medicine that, with the right techniques, can save or harm a person. Once the needle hits God’s Place, Joseph would certainly face death—a false death, to be precise, from which there would be only fifteen minutes to recover. Any longer, and it would be too late; even Daniel wouldn't be able to do anything.<br /> <br /> "The second is Spirit Ruins, to replenish blood and essence," declared Christopher as Joseph's cracked lips regained moisture.<br /> <br /> "The third is Noble Palace, to revitalize the body." Joseph's fingertips twitched ever so slightly.<br /> <br /> "The fourth is God’s Place, to reignite the spirit and continue life!" Upon the fourth needle's entry, Joseph suddenly sat upright on his bed. His body seemed stiff, and his eyes lifeless, but the medical equipment showed his vitals rapidly returning to normal.<br /> <br /> Christopher froze, bewildered by the unexpected turn of events. He had revived Joseph with just four needles, something even he found unbelievable. However, the result was what mattered, and he just assumed his medical skills had improved.<br /> <br /> "With four needles to save, five will beckon the return!" The remaining five needles suspended in the air shot back into their sandalwood box.<br /> <br /> Joseph laid back down, the medical monitors steadying but still slowly improving—proof his condition was stabilizing.<br /> <br /> Christopher put away the needles and congratulated Jessica, "Miss Jessica, I've brought your grandfather back. I’ve facilitated your good fortune with Mr. Andrew. You two better invite me as your matchmaker to toast at your wedding!"<br /> <br /> "You haven't saved him; you've killed him. This is just a glaring sign before death. In less than half a minute, Mr. Joseph will be gone," Daniel stated, incensing the newly relieved Jessica.<br /> <br /> Her grandfather had barely been saved, and this scoundrel claimed he was mortally doomed!<br /> <br /> "Y-you're the one dying!" Jessica cursed.<br /> <br /> The monitors beeped rapidly, and suddenly, all the readings dropped to zero.<br /> <br /> Joseph was dead?<br /> Chapter 4 He Caused Your Grandfather's Death<br /> <br /> Christopher was in shock, hurriedly lifting Joseph's eyelids, checking his pulse, and testing for breaths. Finally, he collapsed into a companion chair. It was true—Joseph was dead.<br /> <br /> Jessica couldn't and wouldn't accept it.<br /> <br /> "Master Christopher, you saved my grandfather, didn't you?" she stammered.<br /> <br /> At a loss for words and quickly gathering his composure, Christopher, renowned as New York's foremost mysterious healer, couldn't let his reputation crumble. So, he pointed an accusatory finger at Daniel. "It is he! This country fool with his words has killed your grandfather."<br /> <br /> "Master Christopher, that's a foolish lie, isn't it? Do you think Ma'am Jessica is naive enough to believe such nonsense?"<br /> <br /> "I am New York's leading doctor. How could I lie? When I say your words killed Mr. Joseph, I am not speaking without reason."<br /> <br /> "Oh, and what's your theory then?"<br /> <br /> "Mr. Joseph had indeed been brought back by me, only needing to rest peacefully on the bed before waking up. Just as he was about to awake, you cursed him to death, making his subconscious believe he had indeed died. So, you are to blame for Mr. Joseph’s death!"<br /> <br /> "Are you certain Mr. Joseph is truly dead?"<br /> <br /> "Pulse ceased, no breath, he is dead!"<br /> <br /> "He is not dead; he’s alive."<br /> <br /> Jessica's eyes, clouded with despair, flickered with a glimmer of hope at Daniel's assertion. "You claim my granddad isn't dead?"<br /> <br /> Brittany couldn't stand it any longer, and she launched into a fiery rebuke at Daniel: "You fool, shut your mouth! When the chairman was alive, you claimed he was dead. Now that he is dead, you say he's alive? Do you think acting like a clown, deceiving people here, will show how unique you are or impress Ma'am Jessica?"<br /> <br /> Christopher, while not hoping for Joseph's death, knew his own theory sounded a stretch. After another round of examination and use of various medical instruments, he and Michael drew the same conclusion: Joseph was dead.<br /> <br /> Daniel pulled from his plastic bag a rust-stained iron box, no bigger than a matchbox, containing seven dull needles—the Dragon Needles bequeathed to him by the old man.<br /> <br /> Seeing Daniel wield those lackluster needles as if ready to jab them into Joseph, Brittany was shocked! Recovering, she raised her voice to stop him, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "I'm saving a life!"<br /> <br /> "Saving? Master Christopher couldn't revive him even with The Kirin Needle. You think you can save lives with those needles, you picked up from the trash? They are dirty and grimy; how dare you use them on the chairman?"<br /> <br /> Andrew chimed in with a mocking sneer, "What's he saving? He just became an assistant and wants to shine! Since Mr. Joseph is already dead, it doesn't matter if he pokes around with needles. There's no blame if it doesn't work. And if he somehow revives Mr. Joseph, that would be a great feat!"<br /> <br /> "There are no ifs! Mr. Joseph is dead, and nobody can save him! If just anybody could poke him awake with random needles, what would be the need for doctors?" Christopher stated with supreme confidence.<br /> <br /> "Master Christopher is right, Mr. Joseph is dead, and he can't be saved. I’ve had doctors check his body with the hospital's most advanced equipment. He's not just without heartbeat or breath—every organ has ceased functioning—he's completely dead," Michael made his final verdict!<br /> <br /> Christopher and Michael’s pronouncements solidified Brittany's belief that Daniel was creating a scene. She pointed at the door and bellowed at him, "Get out of here, now!"<br /> <br /> Of course, Daniel wouldn't budge; he turned to Jessica and spoke earnestly, "Your grandfather has five more minutes! If I don't administer the first needle within that time, he truly is dead. Not even gods can save him."<br /> <br /> "Master Christopher couldn’t save him, and you could?" Jessica was skeptical.<br /> <br /> "Absolutely!"<br /> <br /> "Absolute nonsense! He's a bluffer, trying to earn brownie points by bragging here. Don't you believe him, Ma'am Jessica, he's trying to hurt the chairman!" Brittany passionately warned Jessica not to be foolish while pushing Daniel toward the door.<br /> <br /> Daniel stood firm, unaffected by Brittany's shoving. He turned to Jessica, offering her one last chance to choose, "Ma'am Jessica, you gave me a one-year probation period. If I can't save your grandfather, you can fire me on the spot!"<br /> <br /> Chapter 5 The Poor Relative<br /> <br /> A one-year probation period? Don't they usually last only three months? Brittany pondered inwardly. At last, it dawned on her: this guy must be one of Ma'am Jessica's poor relatives. Jessica didn't actually like the fellow, but to not to turn down a relative's request, she set a one-year probation—she didn't intend to keep him around!<br /> <br /> Jessica, however, was considering the marital contract set by her grandfather. If he couldn't be saved, was she expected to continue this trial marriage with this man for a year? It felt like a loss. Michael and Master Christopher had both declared her grandfather beyond saving. So, letting this guy have a try wouldn't hurt—after all, he himself said if he couldn't save her grandfather, he would leave immediately.<br /> <br /> "Go ahead," Jessica consented with a nod.<br /> <br /> Brittany wouldn't dare go against Jessica's wishes, but she still suspected Daniel's motives. Pointing a finger right at his nose, she said, "If there's no reaction after your first needle, you stop immediately and get out!"<br /> <br /> "Okay." Daniel agreed and proceeded to insert the first needle, leaving everyone dumbstruck.<br /> <br /> That black and unimpressive needle was placed on the tip of Joseph's nose.<br /> <br /> "There's no acupoint on the nose tip! You're just poking randomly! You are disrespecting the body!" criticized Christopher disdainfully.<br /> <br /> Beep! Beep, beep! The monitor came back to life, the previously zeroed numbers now changing, albeit faintly. Hope reignited in the hearts of all present, especially in Jessica's.<br /> <br /> "Is granddad alive?" she asked Daniel expectantly.<br /> <br /> "Yeah."<br /> <br /> "Yeah right! He's just poking around. Maybe he's hit a nerve by pure luck, causing some reflex. He hasn't truly brought anyone back to life," Brittany blurted out, refusing to believe that a mere poke on the nose could save Joseph.<br /> <br /> Amid the disbelief, the monitor showed greater fluctuations. Joseph's face color started returning, and his fingertips twitched slightly. Jessica, ready to scold Daniel, swallowed back her words at the sight.<br /> <br /> Christopher was stupefied. Despite studying extraordinary acupuncture skills in the East, he had never heard of a technique involving a needle in the eye—that would just burst the eyeball! Yet, not only did Joseph seem fine, but his vitals were also improving.<br /> <br /> Were the signs from the monitors and Joseph's body telling them he was really being revived?<br /> <br /> "Has granddad come back to life?"<br /> <br /> "Yeah," Daniel affirmed once again.<br /> <br /> Brittany was speechless. Though she did not believe Daniel had revived Joseph, the undeniable evidence was right before her eyes. Both the remarkable changes in Joseph's body and the data on the monitors could attest that Daniel had indeed brought him back to life.<br /> <br /> "It's just a momentary recovery before death," Christopher insisted, adamantly disbelieving even the iron-clad evidence before him. How could a man he failed to save be revived by this unknown individual? Should word of this get out, his reputation would be utterly destroyed. Joseph could not be revived; he had to die!<br /> <br /> Daniel quickened his pace. After seven needles, Joseph's face color had almost fully returned, and the monitor showed his vitals nearly back to normal. But still, Joseph remained unconscious, not yet awakened.<br /> <br /> Seeing Daniel remove all seven needles and return them to the little iron box, Jessica asked urgently, "Is granddad really alive?"<br /> <br /> "Of course!"<br /> <br /> "Of course, nothing! This is just the final flickers of life; soon, those numbers will return to zero," Andrew scoffed, disbelieving Joseph's revival. "If he's truly alive, why hasn't Mr. Joseph woken up? Why hasn't he opened his eyes? When Master Christopher was treating him, Mr. Joseph at least sat up. All your fiddling has done is make his fingers twitch; he can't even sit up."<br /> <br /> Andrew's words stirred Jessica's anxiety once more. She had already been through a tumultuous rollercoaster of emotions and wasn't prepared to endure it a second time. |
