Chapter 356
Orion possessed remarkable skills indeed. Sylvia's facial wounds displayed the symptoms he had described, appearing redder and more swollen than before. According to Orion, this was a normal reaction and nothing to worry about.After a brief rest, Orion went to a medicine cabinet and skillfully gathered some herbs. He handed them to Eric and said, "Take one set of these per week, dissolve them in plain water, and consume them in the morning. Gradually reduce the water each day."Eric accepted the medicine and asked, "Hol. Thornfield, is there a specific technique for the Blossom Needling? I noticed you applied pressure at different times and places. Is there a reason for that?"Initially, Eric believed he could easily learn the Blossom Needling technique with his photographic memory. However, he quickly realized it was not as simple as he had thought. The technique demanded precision and expertise beyond his initial assumption.Orion glanced at Eric and asked, "Have you studied acu

Eric had no idea that the thick book contained a lifetime's worth of Orion's thoughts, insights, and invaluable knowledge.Orion truly treasured talent. However, there was also a deep sense of regret in his eyes. For someone of Orion's caliber, finding an apprentice worthy of inheriting his knowledge was a rare occurrence, a matter of fate.When Eric asked about Blossom Needling, Orion noticed his thirst for knowledge. Moreover, Grace had shared Eric's story with him, and passionate individuals usually had respectable characters. Considering Eric's photographic memory, he might still acquire knowledge and contribute to preserving Orion's legacy.After they got into the car, Grace said, "Eric, start visiting Hol. Thornfield more often from now on. He has never married and has never taken on an apprentice before. Giving you a copy of his notes shows that he values you to some extent."If you were to receive a complete inheritance from Hol. Thornfield and become his apprentice, no one

Grace was briefly stunned but quickly regained her composure as a sizable group of Montgomerys awaited her.The Montgomerys were a distinguished aristocratic family, with Alexander Montgomery, Seraphine's father, as the family head.Grace held the second-highest rank in seniority, with the late family head having three more sons and a daughter. Undoubtedly, the family thrived.On their way to the estate, Grace instructed Eric and Sylvia to address Seraphine's father as "Uncle" and advised them not to worry about the opinions of the other family members.Sylvia gained a deeper appreciation for Grace's challenges upon learning about the Montgomerys' situation.Despite everyone's presence at the entrance, a hint of displeasure lingered on their faces. Alexander summoned them all as it was Sylvia and Eric's first visit to the Montgomerys.Alexander had already arranged an elaborate reception, perhaps out of a sense that the Montgomerys owed Grace a great deal.Grace only introduced

Orion's retirement would unquestionably be a huge loss for holistic medicine.Many well-known families, influential figures, and renowned experts in this field had gathered outside Orion's villa. Some sought effective treatments, while others earnestly asked him not to retire. Regardless of their pleas, Orion remained out of sight.Grace anticipated all of this and was grateful that she had sought Orion's assistance before his retirement.She glanced at the members of the Montgomery family who were seated around her and said, "Alexander, there's no need to feel too regretful. Hol. Thornfield already has a capable apprentice, so his medical expertise won't be lost."Alexander was taken aback. He wondered who had earned Orion's favor and quickly asked, "Have you met his apprentice?"Alexander also had his own calculations. Despite Orion's solitary nature, he was renowned worldwide. While the Montgomerys couldn't claim dominance in King City, someone of Orion's stature commanded resp

While Grace spoke on one side, Eric carefully prepared medicine for Sylvia on the other side. With the Blossom Needling treatment, there was no need for external medicine.As he simmered the medicine, Seraphine approached Sylvester."Why do you always have to follow me?" Sylvester turned and said, feeling helpless.Even though he knew Seraphine had arranged for him to come to King City, he didn't have much choice. However, spending time with Eric and Sylvia wasn't a bad thing."Eric, I'll tend to the fire," he said.Eric chuckled. "Sylvester, you better stay with Seraphine. I'll handle the stove. It's not too difficult."He worried Sylvester might struggle, given his affluent background and potential lack of kitchen experience. This task was second nature for someone like him, with a rural background. Sylvester felt embarrassed, hoping Seraphine would leave on her own."Shall we go?" Seraphine didn't feel embarrassed at all. She took Sylvester's hand and said, "Since we have s

Sylvia mentioned, "My master said that many martial artists often possess some medical skills. Besides holistic physicians, some priests are exceptionally skilled in medicine. The medical expertise of certain priests surpasses that of conventional, holistic physicians."Eric sighed. "Learning holistic medicine isn't easy."When he first started with martial arts, he needed Sylvia's guidance. He wondered who would guide him now if he wanted to learn holistic medicine.As they talked, someone from the Montgomerys rushed in and quickly left in a car.Soon after, Grace emerged from the house and said, "The Hernandezes are here. They already know you're here, but don't worry. With me around, they won't dare to harm you.""Thank you, Mom," Sylvia said.Grace nodded and added, "Focus on your tasks. Don't fret about the Hernandezes. I'll handle them."Eric agreed. Frankly, he didn't care much about the Hernandezes. To him, they were less important than a simmering pot of medicine."I w

Grace's years of hard work were finally paying off. Two decades ago, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to sit face-to-face with someone like Javier, let alone confront him directly. But now, she possessed both the qualifications and the confidence.At the level of the Montgomerys and Hernandezes, the only two things that could bind them were laws and morals.Javier understood that Grace was unlikely to let go of the legal tools at her disposal. What if Grace brought Eric to claim a share of the Hernandezes' assets? What would they do?With that thought in mind, Javier calmed himself and chuckled. "Madam Montgomery, you're the CEO of Montgomery Corp. with numerous assets. Despite being a woman, you're as capable as any man. Ultimately, the Montgomery assets belong to your son, correct? Why bother coming after the Hernandezes and engaging in a dispute?"Grace had multiple motives for waging war against the Hernandezes, with protecting Eric as her primary reason."Fight? Why shou

After the Hernandezes left, Grace approached Sylvia.Meanwhile, the medicine had finished brewing. Eric took it off the heat and allowed it to cool for a bit before handing it to Sylvia.Grace smiled and said, "I'm so glad you both take care of each other."Sylvia pinched her nose and downed the medicine in one gulp. "Mom, why did the Hernandezes come here?""They're here for a truce," Grace explained. "Both families suffered losses since the war began. Javier knew you two were in King City, so he took this chance to propose a truce. But I won't stop the war unless they agree to my conditions.""What are the conditions?" Sylvia asked."First, Eric should get a share of the Hernandez family assets under his name, as he's one of them," Grace replied. "Second, I want them to add Eric to the Hernandez family tree, but Javier refused."Sylvia fell silent, thinking both conditions would benefit Eric.Initially, she suspected the business war was related to Julius, but it seemed not.
