The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power novel Chapter 186

Hewlett was one of the top medical experts in Mittera. If he were to state publicly in the world-renowned Banner Chronicles that Qustian traditional medicine was a hoax, they Qustians would definitely lose face as a result—unless they could refute him with strong evidence.

At the thought of this, Scott said to Blake, "Mr. Hemsworth, you’ve got to find a way! We mustn't let these foreigners blacken the name of our traditional medicine!"

Blake looked troubled with a bitter taste in his mouth. "I... I..."

Just as he was stammering without being able to say a complete sentence, Matt stepped forward and said loudly, "Please calm down, everyone! Perhaps the Nicholson brat can really make it!" Well, the purpose I've made this such a grand occasion is to smear Kingsley's reputation and make him the people's enemy so that he can never gain a foothold in Cleapolis. Won't my and Felix's plan come to nothing if Blake takes action? he thought to himself. Therefore, he hurriedly stepped forward and motioned everyone to watch Kingsley's performance first.

Seeing that Matt had spoken, the medical bigwigs led by Scott fell silent. After all, they were invited here by Matt and Felix, so they couldn't steal the show from Matt and spoil his plans.

The dense crowd upstairs gradually fell silent as well. After all, they had squeezed in to watch the spectacle. Seeing that Kingsley was now ready to perform acupuncture, they looked on with anticipation as to how he was going to make a fool of himself. To these ordinary citizens, even if Kingsley was unable to cure Joshua, those gray-haired and sage scholars surely had a way to do so to prevent the Mitterans from laughing at them. Therefore, after the excitement, most of them quietly looked on.

Blake could tell what everyone was thinking, but he felt so depressed that he was on the verge of tears. For the very first time, he felt that it wasn't a good thing to be counted on. I'm already over 60 years old this year and will retire in a few years' time. Why would I be made to do something entirely beyond myself?! Am I really gonna lose my reputation?! he lamented to himself.

Just as he was keeping his grievances to himself, Kingsley ran his eyes over everyone at the scene with a smile. He said impassively, "Since everyone wants to take a look at Qustian traditional medicine, I'll show what I'm capable of!" As he spoke, he took the ivory box containing Gorgion's Nine Needles out of his pocket.

The instant the box was opened, the nine gold needles inside it gleamed faintly all at once.

No one knew how precious the nine gold needles were, except for Blake, who knew the grades of different acupuncture needles better than anyone else after having spent all his life researching traditional acupuncture. As a result, the depressed look on his face vanished in an instant. "T-Those needles..."

Seeing the drastic change in his facial expression, Matt couldn't help but smile sinisterly. As expected of Mr. Hemsworth, the Cleapolis Acupuncture Society's chief expert. He must have noticed at a glance that Kingsley's needles aren't of standard quality! he thought to himself.

The others had the same idea as Matt did.

For a time, a myriad of expressions crossed the faces of everyone at the scene. Some looked disdainful, while some looked scornful; there were also some who looked furious and some who were gloating...
