The Amazing son in law Chapter 240
Xyla was taken aback and utterly astonished when she noticed that Charlie was employing the same technique she had used earlier!
She quickly exclaimed, “How can he be so brazen? He’s using the same method I demonstrated before! Did he really copy my technique by observing me?”
Anthony maintained a composed demeanor during this moment. After a brief pause, he advised, “Look closely again. Focus on his gestures and movements.”
After observing Charlie for a bit longer, Xyla murmured in disbelief, “He… what is he…”
Xyla soon recognized that the acupuncture technique Charlie was utilizing was indeed the fabled Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique, a legacy of the Simmons family passed down through generations. Although his movements appeared nearly identical to hers, upon closer inspection, Xyla discerned subtle differences in their techniques.
This…
Could this be an enhanced version of the Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique?
A wave of dread washed over Xyla as she turned to her grandfather, asking, “Grandpa! How could he possibly know about our family’s acupuncture technique?”
Anthony simply nodded, captivated by Charlie’s abilities. He continued to watch Charlie with admiration before he commented, “Unexpectedly, this young man appears to be a master of both medicine and martial arts! His hand was remarkably steady while inserting the needle; only someone with over fifty years of experience could achieve such unwavering internal reiki! I never anticipated that someone so young could surpass my skills at this age!”
Xyla, feeling unconvinced, declared, “Grandpa, I’m certain I can definitely surpass him!”
Anthony sighed, still gazing at Charlie with awe. “If I’m not mistaken, this young man is executing the complete Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique. There are several steps of this technique that have been lost to the Simmons family for many generations. I truly didn’t expect to encounter someone capable of performing the entire technique today!”
He then glanced at his granddaughter and said, “Let’s set you aside for now! Even my own spiritual energy cannot match this young man’s, even if I practiced for another fifty years!”
“It’s just a few extra acupuncture steps; how much difference can that make?” the young girl muttered under her breath.
Determined to prove her superiority over Charlie, she asserted, “Grandpa, so what if he knows a few more steps of the Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique? I graduated at the top of my medical school class and I am well-versed in acupuncture and massage techniques. I refuse to believe he can outdo me in every aspect! I’m going to challenge him to a one-on-one competition later!”
Anthony could only shake his head in resignation at his granddaughter’s insistent attitude. “I don’t think you’ll ever be able to defeat him.”
After a short while, Charlie completed the acupuncture treatment for the elderly man. He then stated calmly, “Lord Moore will awaken in less than half an hour. Thanks to the acupuncture I performed today, I can assure you he’ll enjoy a healthy life for at least another five years!”
Unable to hold back, Reuben exclaimed, “You’re talking nonsense! The most prestigious American doctor already said my grandfather has only a month to live at best. Do you really believe you can extend his life by another five years? How can you be so arrogant?”
With a cold response, Charlie replied, “Because I am Charlie Wade.”
“Boo!” Reuben scoffed. “You’re neither a master nor a doctor! If anything happens to my grandfather, I’ll make sure you pay for your actions today!”
Anthony’s granddaughter stepped forward without hesitation, asking, “Who are you, and which medical clinic or hospital do you come from? Where did you learn medicine?”
Charlie turned to her and responded, “I’m not affiliated with any medical clinic or hospital, and I haven’t learned medicine.”
The young girl was taken aback and pressed further, “What? That’s impossible! Then where did you acquire this acupuncture technique?”
With a smile, Charlie replied, “That’s a personal matter, and I prefer not to discuss it.”
Reluctantly, the young girl said, “This is my family’s ancestral acupuncture method that has been handed down for generations. I need to know where you learned it to prevent others from stealing our family’s technique and claiming it as their own!”
“Xyla! You mustn’t be disrespectful to Mr. Wade!” Anthony reprimanded his granddaughter immediately. He then approached Charlie with respect, saying, “Mr. Wade, my granddaughter lost her parents at a young age, and I raised her. Please excuse her rudeness.”
Following that, Anthony turned to Xyla and admonished, “Aren’t you going to apologize to Mr. Wade? Can’t you see that his acupuncture skills surpass our family’s? He’s executing the original and perfected Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique! Moreover, can’t you see the significant improvement in Lord Moore’s condition after his treatment?”
