Chapter 154
Kayla was genuinely afraid that Ashton might make Lawrence’s condition worse.
With great difficulty, Lawrence brushed them off with a wave of his hand. “I trust Ashton. Even if he really does make my condition deteriorate, why does it matter? A man on death’s door has nothing left to lose.”
“Mr. Clarkson Senior!” Christian called out sharply. “If you insist on letting this brat treat you, then from this day onward, I will no longer provide any medical services to the Legion!”
The atmosphere grew tense at once.
“It’s only natural that a doctor of Dr. Donahue’s reputation and standing has his pride, Mr. Clarkson Senior. You should let this young man leave. After all, the Legion is still in need of Dr. Donahue’s medical services,” Felix urged.
Scoffing, Lawrence declared, “I have spent my entire life braving challenges and overcoming obstacles. When have I ever allowed someone to threaten me? So be it, Christian Donahue! If you don’t wish to provide any further medical services to the Legion, you’re free to leave whenever you want!
“I’m determined to let Ashton treat me today. Are you saying that I don’t have the right to make my own medical decisions?”
“But Grandpa-”
“My decision is final!
Sighing, Kayla threatened Ashton, “You’d better actually know what you’re doing, or else!”
Ashton glanced at her. “Just get ready to spend the night with me.”
Then, he turned back to Lawrence. “I need you to relax.”
“Don’t feel any pressure, Ashton. Go right ahead and try out any idea you might have. I won’t die so easily!” Lawrence said with a chuckle.
Ashton felt a warmth in his heart. Growing up, he never had a father. Ever since he met Lawrence, he felt a sense of being cared for and trusted, one that he’d been missing for a long time. This feeling mattered a lot to him.
He took a deep breath before looking at Christian. “I’ll need 100 silver needles, Dr. Donahue. Would you be so kind as to lend them to me?”
“Here you go.”
The grim–faced Christian handed over all of the needles he had with him before saying curtly, “I’d like to see just what you’re capable of!”
“Please don’t be upset, Dr. Donahue. If anything happens later, please step in to save my grandpa,” Kayla pleaded.
Christian simply nodded without saying anything else.
Ashton took yet another deep breath, and his gaze focused. As he summoned all of the inner energy swirling within him, the glimmer in his gaze looked almost like a dragon’s eyes slowly fluttering open.
With just a single look, he saw right through Lawrence’s body, as if he had X–ray vision. He could see every single organ, down to even the singular cells!
“Rise.”

Ashton’s inner energy surged at once. With a flick of his hand, 108 needles began circulating rapidly in the air, swirling around in his inner energy before swiftly piercing into 108 points all over Lawrence’s body.
The instant the needles sank in, they sealed up Lawrence’s meridian. Wisps of inner energy wrapped around all of the injuries within his body, stabilizing his condition.
“It’s the legendary Ninefold Arcane Technique!” Christian cried out in shock.
The moment he saw the acupuncture technique Ashton was employing, his eyes widened, and his body started rocking with visible agitation. Even his breathing became hitched.
“The Ninefold Arcane Technique? What’s that? Is it very potent?”

Christian’s eyes were blazing with excitement and awe.
