Jordan was obviously talking nonsense with his claims about this new Deity. Words alone could not make the Park family respect the Steeles. But then again, they could not prove that Jordan was lying.
Park Chan-young shouted, “That’s impossible! Your family definitely doesn’t have a new Deity! Even if a new Deity appeared, it would have approached our Park family first! My family prays to God every day, begging him to give us a new Deity. Do the Steeles practice the faith? Why should the new Deity come to your family?!”
Jordan smiled. “You are asking why? Go and ask God yourself! Oh, right, perhaps God doesn’t like you. He gave you such good medical technology, but you’re only using it to play with women. How low-class!”
Park Chan-young said angrily, “Jordan, don’t keep spouting nonsense. Alright, since the Steele family is so awesome and has the help of the new Deity, prove to me how amazing your family’s medical skills are! Make Scarlett Johansson look another 10 years younger!”
Jordan glanced at Scarlett Johansson. “Why would I carry this kind of medicine around with me? How about this? Let me take Scarlett Johansson away. I’ll show you her face in three months.”
Park Chan-young laughed. “I think you just want to take Scarlett Johansson away to play with her for three months, right? I haven’t even played with her yet. How can I let you have the chance? Show me your family’s medical skills if you have the guts!”
Judging from Park Chan-young’s attitude, he would never let Jordan out of the door if he did not show his skills.
If this stalemate continued and the other members of the eight families found out, it would probably have a negative impact.
After all, Jordan had trespassed the Park family’s territory.
Jordan said, “Alright, Grandpa instructed me repeatedly not to reveal our family’s true strength in front of the other families. He told me to put on a pretense of weakness like Jesse and make the other families think that the Steeles are the worst. But I am young and impetuous. How can I endure the disdain of others?!
“Today, I’ll let you know the true medical skills of the Steele family! Now, find me a patient that your Park family can’t treat. I’ll treat him on the spot!”
Treating a patient whom even the Park family could not treat!
Park Chan-young believed that Jordan was just spouting nonsense. He agreed. “Alright, since you’re so confident, I’d like to see if your family is really trash or just pretending so!”
After thinking for a moment, Park Chan-young made a phone call.
Soon, a wheelchair-bound woman in her 60s was pushed in. The woman looked very dispirited and weak.
“Third Aunt.”
Park Chan-young held her hand respectfully.
Park Chan-young’s third aunt smiled and nodded at him, but it was obvious that her smile was forced.
Park Chan-young introduced her to Jordan. “This is my third aunt. She’s 61 years old and has been feeling dizzy for the past six years. She has coronary heart disease, gastric ulcers, gallstones, hypertension, high blood pressure and lacunar infarcts.
“My family has already used the most advanced technology to treat her. Although we managed to let her remain lucid, and have normal speech and limb mobility, we can’t get rid of her persistent dizziness. Moreover, she is always feeling a lack of energy. If you can completely cure my third aunt’s illness, I will believe what you just said!”
Jordan sized up the patient. Although he was not a professional doctor, he pretended to go over and take her pulse.
