Charlie couldn’t believe that Dr. Simmons was planning to leave Aurous Hill because of a lost bet.

What was even more surprising was that the bet was over a medicine cauldron so he asked, “Dr. Simmons, who did you make this bet with?”

“I have no idea,” Dr. Simmons replied, “The man only gave his surname as Vail and called himself Master Vail.”

“Master Vail?” Charlie’s face darkened at the mention of that name.

Charlie recalled that Stefanie Sun had mentioned the name Master Vail before.

She had described him as a highly respected Taoist priest in the Chinese community in America, who was close to his grandmother Evans.

When his grandfather Evans was critically ill, he came to treat him and even got involved in a dispute.

Master Vail was impressed by the effectiveness of the Life Saving Pill and wanted to know who made it.

When he learned from his uncle Desmond that there was a Rejuvenation Pill in Aurous Hill, he came to look for it.

Impressed by the effectiveness of the Life Saving Pill, he wanted to track down its maker.

Charlie wasn’t too worried about Master Vail’s presence in Aurous Hill, but he was curious about the reason for the bet he made with Dr. Simmons.

It was unclear whether he simply coveted Serene Medical Clinic or had an ulterior motive.

Charlie felt that someone who could be amazed by the Life Saving Pill wasn’t particularly perceptive and dismissed him.

Charlie’s confidence wasn’t baseless.

He had picked up on some subtle cues that gave him insight into the other party’s true abilities.

Just like how someone who’s intimidated by a Rolls-Royce probably couldn’t afford one, those who could afford a Rolls-Royce won’t be intimidated by it. His instincts told him that Master Vail wasn’t someone to be afraid of.

He turned to Dr. Simmons and asked, “Dr. Simmons, what was the competition about?”

Dr. Simmons laughed wryly, “Of course it’s inappropriate.

But that guy, Master Vail, was quite cunning, he chose these kinds of comparison methods because he knew I couldn’t win against him in terms of medical skills.

He just wanted to win my Serene Medical Clinic.

Unfortunately, I was so foolish and agreed to his ridiculous demands.”
