The Pinnacle of Life

“Do you really think I want to wait? The surgery fee is at least half a million dollars. And there are risks to the surgery as well, it’s a fifty-fifty gamble. I might not be able to survive the surgery. It’s not like you don’t know the condition of my family. If something were to happen to me, my mom and sister would be done for. It’s alright, no more talking, I’ll be off now. I have lots of parcels to deliver at noon.”
The store owner sighed, his eyes filled with sympathy. Looks like this was yet another tragedy.
“Hold on!” Alex spoke up. “Do you trust me?”
The young man paused for three seconds and smiled as he nodded. “I do. As Ms. Yowell’s friend, you wouldn’t have the leisure to trick a poor lowly guy like me.”
Alex stood up. “Believe me, and I’ll show you the light.”
He walked over and took a finger out, placing it an inch above the young man’s temples.
That was where the tumor was, underneath his skull.
Just then, Alex’s finger shone like a jade, as if there was electricity surrounding it. He pressed on the young man’s head gently.
Michelle and Jack widened their eyes.
Although they had mentally prepared themselves, they were still appalled. This was an actual tumor that might mutate at any point. What was Alex even doing? Was he going to use such a method to help remove the tumor? Putting the accuracy of locating the tumor aside, how…? How would he even remove it?
This looked like a big joke.
However, they didn’t know that the Ultimate Book of Medicine was not from the mortal realm. The Force’s healing Chi was powerful, able to cure many illnesses. Besides, Alex researched the book out of fun and realized that this medical book was made for many different types of martial arts practitioners. The best part was that it could help regrow limbs and recollect
souls. This was literally a god’s power.
A small tumor was nothing compared to that. It was just caused by clogged blood vessels.
“Ah!” The young man screamed.
Everyone in the restaurant was startled, thinking that something bad had happened.
The young man struggled to shake Alex’s finger off.
However, Alex’s finger was attached to his head, he couldn’t get out of its touch at all. To prevent the man from moving around, Alex restricted him with his other hand and ordered sternly. “Don’t move.”
Someone couldn’t bear watching him any longer and tried stopping him. “Hey, do you even know your stuff? What are you doing? Can’t you see he’s in pain? Are you trying to kill him?”
“Yeah! Stop that now! Or I’m going to call the cops!”
“What the f* ck, what kind of person are you? Why would we need hospitals if you could cure his tumor with just a poke?”
