Chapter 25 Are You Convinced?
Just as Philip was about to diagnose and treat Orlando.
Leones curiously asked Darius beside him, “Is Mr. William really skilled in medicine?”
After all, Leones had been imprisoned for five years and hadn’t been to the hospital much before being imprisoned. He had never heard of such a remarkable figure.
“Mr. William is not only amazing, he is incredibly remarkable!”
Darius couldn’t help but become more energetic when talking about Philip. His admiration for this divine doctor was boundless.
“I dare not speak for others, but my father had chronic rheumatism in his legs. He had knee pain when walking, and it was so severe that he almost needed crutches in the later stages. He saw countless doctors, but nothing worked.”
“But luckily, he met Mr. William. Guess what happened? With just one acupuncture needle for my father, my father’s legs got better!”
“Even now, my father walks with ease, even better than me!”
Upon hearing this, Leones chuckled and said, “If he’s that incredible, why don’t you also get a treatment from him?”
“Haha, you’re joking, Hero,” Darius replied with a wry smile, “I’m not sick, so why should I get a treatment?”
“Don’t doubt it. My father told me that many high–ranking officials had sought treatment from Mr. William. He has a great reputation.”
“But now that Mr. William is older, he doesn’t treat patients as often. It’s only because of Mr. Baker’s high reputation that he was able to invite Mr. William.”
While they were talking, Philip had already examined Orlando and began discussing the cause of his illness.
Others listened as if they were hearing a foreign language, only vaguely understanding.
Finally, they could only hear from Mr. William’s summary that the illness was due to a “wind–cold.”
Ethan was puzzled. “How could my father’s illness be due to wind–cold when it’s so severe?”
Philip chuckled and patiently explained, “Although wind–cold is a minor ailment, it can still be life–threatening.”
“In traditional medicine, wind–cold is considered the root of all illnesses. It manifests different symptoms depending on the season and the interaction of different climatic factors.”
“I observed that Mr. Baker has symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, and cough. Coupled with his advanced age and weak constitution, being affected by wind–cold led to his sudden illness.”
Jayden hurriedly asked, “Mr. William, can you cure him?”
“Haha!” Philip chuckled again. “The reason I am well–known and respected by everyone is that, for most illnesses, a single needle treatment is sufficient for a cure.”
“Although your father’s condition is severe, I am confident that with the use of three needles, I can restore Mr. Baker’s health!”
Upon hearing this, the Baker family became overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude. They

almost kneeled down to express their thanks to Philip.
“Hahaha…”
Amidst the joyous atmosphere, there suddenly came an untimely chuckle, which sounded particularly jarring.
Leones smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling a little helpless.
Originally, Leones thought that the person Darius was boasting about was an extraordinary and exceptional doctor, and he believed that he had encountered a legendary doctor today.
However, when Leones listened to Philip’s analysis of Orlando’s condition, he realized that Philip had no understanding of medicine whatsoever.
“What are you laughing at!?”
As soon as Ethan saw Leones laughing, he became furious. “Why are you still here? Are you trying to cause trouble?”
Just as Ethan was about to ask someone to kick out Leones, Philip interjected, “I wonder if this young man has a different opinion?”
“Since we are all doctors, let’s speak up and discuss together.”
Leones spoke solemnly, “I’m laughing because Mr. William lacks medical knowledge. You can’t even distinguish between wind–cold and external pathogens, yet you dare boast about treating people?”
His words shocked everyone.
Leones actually dared to question Philip’s medical skills publicly. And he even laughed at Philip’s lack of expertise in medicine?
What a bold move!
Darius, who was standing by, was so frightened that he quickly dragged Leones‘ clothes, gesturing for him to stop talking.
Hearing Leones‘ words, even the excellent self–cultivation, Philip couldn’t help but become slightly angry, saying, “According to your perspective, what caused Mr. Baker’s condition?”
“He is poisoned!” Leones exclaimed. “It’s the poison entering his body that has been worsening Mr. Baker’s condition, and it’s now beyond control.”
“The symptoms of wind chill and poison are similar, Mr. William. Your diagnosis is utterly absurd!”
Upon hearing Leones mention the poison again, Gloria seemed to have a realization. She took a look around the ward and indeed saw the wooden carving that had been brought there and was placed on the cabinet in front of the bed.
“Mr. Bloom, is this it?” Gloria hurriedly picked up the wooden carving and handed it to Leones for disposal. “If we get rid of this wooden carving, my grandfather will recover, won’t he?”
Leones shook his head and dropped the wooden carving. “The poison inside this wooden carving has already infiltrated Mr. Baker’s body. It’s too late.”
“This is nonsense!” Philip angrily said, “What are you talking about?
“We are doctors, not fraudulent charlatans! Don’t use these non–medical gimmicks to deceive people! It’s because of fraudsters like you that our traditional medicine reputation has been tarnished.”

Chapter 25 Are You Convinced?
“You keep questioning my medical skills. Then today, I will show you what I’m capable of. My abilities are not just empty talk!”
“1: I can’t cure Orlando’s illness within three needles, I am willing to become your apprentice, and I’ll follow your orders!”
Leones responded, “Alright, since you say so if you can cure the patient with three needles, then I will also become…”
At this point, Leones shook his head slightly and said, “No, you’re not qualified to become my master.”
After all, each of Leones‘ more than one hundred masters were highly skilled, and any one of them were at the top of their respective fields.
And how could a mediocre doctor like Philip be allowed to mix in and become Leones‘ master? “In that case, do whatever you want if you can cure Mr. Baker!” Leones added.
Upon hearing this, Philip became even more furious.
“Even you want to be my apprentice? I will never accept a disciple like you!”
After saying that, Philip angrily took out the silver needle he had with him, preparing to defend his reputation.
With the silver needles in hand, Philip’s whole demeanor changed.
The previous aggression disappeared from Philip and was replaced by a touch of calmness. Then, everyone saw the silver needle in Philip’s hand emit a wisp of white smoke after being held for a moment.
“Using needles to control your internal energy?” Leones nodded inwardly upon seeing this. He thought to himself that this divine doctor, although incredibly misguided in diagnosing illnesses, indeed had some genuine skills in acupuncture.
And the people around were also amazed at this.
“He truly is a divine doctor! His skills are extraordinary!”
“It’s ridiculous that brat mocked Mr. William’s medical ability. Who gave him the audacity!”
“When Mr. William cures Mr. Baker, we’ll settle the score with him!”
Under the anticipatory gazes of the Baker family members, Philip’s expression turned serious as he inserted the first needle.
Suddenly, Orlando, who had been in a coma, opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and gradually regained color in his pallid face.
“He’s awake! Mr. Baker is awake!”
“What a miracle! He has worked wonders!”
“Dad, how do you
feel?”
Orlando nodded slightly and said, “Hmm… much better.”
Seeing the immediate effect, Philip couldn’t help feeling proud and turned to ask Leones, “Well? Are you convinced now?”
