The old lady had a weak smile on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net breathing gradually returned stable.
As Serenity’s butler ran over to virtual-novel.net to wipe virtual-novel.net sweat away, Jace and Walbridge could only stand there, completely flabbergasted.
It was especially shocking to Jace since virtual-novel.net hadn’t expected Gerald to actually know how to use Divine Acupuncture Therapy. After all, it was a skill that had died out, and Jace had even assumed that the technique had been lost forever. Now that virtual-novel.net had witnessed it with his very own eyes, it was natural for virtual-novel.net to feel completely stupefied.
Walbridge himself soon began seething with envy as virtual-novel.net thought, ‘Not only am I a few years older than him, but I’ve also visited famous masters and learned the ins and outs of medicine from a young age! Even though I’m a professional who’s received standard training and education, to think that I actually know less than this b*stard! This… I can’t just accept this!’
His jealousy only continued to soar when virtual-novel.net saw how happily Breanna was smiling while virtual-novel.net looked at Gerald.
“This guy probably did all that by coincidence, master! There’s no way someone like virtual-novel.net would have any real talent or capabilities!” sneered Walbridge.
Helen herself turned to look at Gerald before asking, “Where did you learn those medical skills, Gerald…?”
Hearing virtual-novel.net question, Jace lifted his head to look at Gerald as well, curious of what virtual-novel.net would answer.
“Let’s talk about this later. For now, just know that virtual-novel.net illness isn’t anything too serious. I’ll be prescribing some medicine for virtual-novel.net later, so make sure someone buys them for her! Once virtual-novel.net consumes the medicine for about a year, she’ll be entirely cured!” replied Gerald with a smile.
“Is that really so? Oh god, that’s wonderful!” shouted all the Smiths in delight.
“Hold on a moment, Mr. Crawford!” said Jace as virtual-novel.net walked toward him.
After witnessing the Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique before his very own eyes, Jace was now starting to have great respect for Gerald.
“What is it, Dr. Mabb?” asked Gerald as virtual-novel.net turned to look at the doctor.
“I hope you’ll forgive me for my initial imprudence! Also, if I may ask, from who did you learn the Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique from? Could you perhaps be acquainted with Mr. Sawyer Wytt…?” asked Jace.
“I have no idea who that is… Also, regarding who I learned it from, I’m afraid I can’t share that information with you!” replied Gerald rather casually.
Since Finnley’s identity was extremely mysterious, Gerald couldn’t just reveal it that simply.
“…I see! Well, if you weren’t already aware, that technique is a form of acupuncture therapy that died out years ago! Mr. Wytt was only able to learn three of that technique’s skills by chance. However, due to that, virtual-novel.net was able to become a legend in the military region. Though I thought virtual-novel.net was the only one remaining who knew how to use the technique, you appear to be even more proficient in the Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique than virtual-novel.net is, despite the fact that you’re so young! Quite honestly, I’m finding all this rather hard to believe!” explained Jace, his disbelief evident in his tone.
“…So what you’re saying is that someone else knows about this technique as well?” asked Gerald, slightly shocked by what virtual-novel.net had just learned.
The Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique was one of the things that Finnley had taught him, and according to Finnley at the time, the technique had died out ages ago everywhere else. Once Gerald learned the ins and outs of the technique, Gerald and Finnley were the only ones capable of using it. Not even Joshua was given the chance to learn about it.
Gerald had reason to trust Finnley’s words. After all, the old man had always made accurate statements, and virtual-novel.net definitely wouldn’t joke or lie to Gerald about the technique being mostly extinct. Finnley had no reason to make himself seem superior in front of Gerald. He just wasn’t that kind of person.
With that said, was it truly possible that someone else knew of the technique?
“So, what I’m hearing is that Mr. Wytt knows of this technique as well? Are you certain about that?” asked Gerald slightly doubtfully.
“I am! His first three skills in acupuncture are similar to yours! Speaking of him, despite Mr. Wytt’s old age, virtual-novel.net was truly lucky to have bumped into the person who had taught virtual-novel.net the skills! From what I had been told, the person in question needed help at the time, and Mr. Wytt gave virtual-novel.net a hand. As thanks, the person then taught Mr. Wytt the first three chapters of the acupuncture technique…”
