Chapter 170 – Disdained Son-in-Law, Destined Riches

Jasmine put up a gentle smile. “Master Smith, this way please.”

Joe walked ahead and the rest of the people followed him, keeping their distance as a token of respect.

As they entered the Diamond Suite of Heaven Springs, all the dishes were served on the table.

Joe invited a few guests tonight, but they were all important figures in Aurous Hill. If any outsiders saw such an extravagant ensemble, their jaws would definitely drop to the floor.

As the owner of Heaven Springs, Don Albert started in a humble tone, “Master Smith, thank you for choosing Heaven Springs as your dinner venue. This cuisine has been specially prepared for you and your honorable guests. The spread is much more lavish than the usual Diamond Suite menu, while the wines are century-old vintage wines airlifted from France. I hope you’ll enjoy tonight’s dinner.”

Don Albert had long been exposed to Joe’s impressive abilities and skills, but tonight’s guests completely shocked him.

Jasmine Moore of the Moore family, Graham and Aurora of the Quinton family, Zeke White of the White family, and Anthony Simmons and his granddaughter.

All of them were prominent and influential figures in Aurous Hill, but they were as harmless and humble as little sheep when they stood in front of Joe. It made Don Albert, who was from the underworld, even more inferior!

Don Albert didn’t dare to speak loudly as the significant figures of the city gathered together. Even though they were in his restaurant, he walked behind everyone and wagged his tail at Joe like a pug, hoping that he would bat an eye at him.

Looking at the extravagant spread and the decoration, Joe smiled at Don Albert and said, “Good job, Albert. Thank you for the arrangement.”

Albert smiled like a child receiving candy and said, “It’s my pleasure to serve you. Please have a seat.”

Joe nodded and sat in the main seat of the table.

Albert bowed graciously at Joe and said, “Please just call for me if you need any assistance, I’ll be waiting by the door!”

Then, he gingerly exited the suite and stood by the door like a waiter.

Albert Rhodes was the king of the underworld in Aurous Hill, but right now, he was nothing but a good- for-nothing thug. He was not yet qualified to sit at the table with Joe and his distinguished guests—it was already lucky enough for him to be able to talk to Joe.

As soon as Joe sat down at the main seat, Jasmine followed closely and sat to the right of him. They were seated so close to each other with only the small gap between them that Joe could even smell the faint perfume from Jasmine’s body.

According to the sitting etiquette, the most distinguished person sat at the head seat, while the people next in rank would be seated on both sides of the head seat.

Among them, the Moore family was the most prominent. Hence, Jasmine, as the representative of the Moore family, naturally sat next to Joe.

Therefore, the other empty seat next to Joe had become the hottest chair that everyone was vying for.

Graham nudged Aurora lightly and said to Joe, “Master Smith, my daughter has admired you for a long time ever since she had the honor to witness your superb power and regards you as her idol. Could you let her sit beside you just so she can get to know you better?”

Jasmine arched her eyebrows and glanced rather ambiguously at Graham.

Zeke, on the other hand, cursed Graham for being a shameless sly fox by sending his daughter to get closer to Master Smith. He was very frustrated mainly because he had no daughters. If he had a girl, there’s no way Graham could make a move on Master Smith so easily.

Aurora’s face was as red as a cherry tomato. She was feeling very shy and embarrassed.

She admitted that she liked Master Smith and her father had told her to grab her chance whenever she could, but it was quite embarrassing to do so in front of so many people.

Regardless of the embarrassment, Aurora was a straightforward person, she cleared her throat and said, “Master Smith, please allow me to take the seat next to you.”

Joe was taken aback and said flatly, “You’re welcome to. Please have a seat.”

Aurora grinned gleefully as she thanked him and hopped to the empty seat next to Joe.

Anthony was envious at the scene. In fact, he had wanted his granddaughter to sit next to Master Smith, but his hesitation encouraged Aurora to cut the queue and grab the empty seat.

It was quite impossible to make Xyla Master Smith’s wife, but it would be an absolute honor and blessing if Master Smith would keep Xyla as his student and apprentice.

This was because of Joe’s superb medical skills which were even better than his own ancestral medical skills. Therefore, he felt that it would be great if Xyla was fortunate enough to serve Joe in the future, as she would have the opportunity to learn more about medicine from him.

This was also one of the reasons why he had wanted to bring Xyla along for this dinner.

Of course, the second reason was that he wanted to seek treatment from Joe.

He had already been tortured by his internal injuries for more than half his life, but he finally had the opportunity to get healed now!

As he thought about this, Anthony gave Xyla a long look, hinting to her that she should look for an opportunity to get closer to Joe.

Xyla understood her grandfather’s intentions immediately and her cheeks turned crimson red as she felt extremely embarrassed.

Lowering her head, she could feel a strong wave in her heart. From time to time, she raised her head slightly to look at Joe as she squeezed her palms together.

Joe was the most talented and skillful doctor she had ever seen. He was not only a genius, but he was also superior to others in terms of his character and appearance. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as a rare gem in this world. However, Xyla knew very well that she would never be worthy of someone like Joe.

Aside from Xyla, Aurora and Jasmine were also staring intensely at Joe, and their gazes were set on him, their eyes never moving away from him.

Joe did not realize that the three young women were all staring at him, and he simply looked up at everyone and raised his cup. After that, he smiled before saying, “Everyone, it is truly fate that allowed me to get to know each and every one of you here in Aurous Hill. We should get to know one another better during this banquet today. Who knows if I would need any of your help in Aurous Hill in the future?”

As soon as he raised his cup, the crowd around the table also lifted their cups because they did not want to be slow.

Jasmine hurriedly replied, “Mr. Smith, you are being too polite. Do not hesitate to let us know if you need any of our help in the future. We will definitely help you if we can.”

Anthony also spoke up at this time. “Yes, Mr. Smith. Your medical skills are simply superb, and I truly admire you very much. If you have any requests or instructions in the future, I will definitely get it done for you!”

Joe smiled faintly before he said, “Okay! Let’s make this glass of wine count!”

“Mr. Smith, cheers!”

Everyone drank the glass of wine together, and no one dared to put down the wine glass before Joe did.

After Joe had finally put down his wine glass, he took out a box that he had brought along with him.

Everyone stopped all their movements and stared at the box, filled with excitement.

They knew that the item in the box had to be the magical pills that everyone was thinking about!

Joe looked around at the crowd of people before he spoke again. “This is the medicine that I made this time.”

Sure enough!

Everyone was extremely excited.

They could not wait to see the medicine that Joe had concocted this time.

Opening the box slowly, Joe revealed the ten pills nestled inside the box. Upon doing so, he said lightly, “Everyone, these are the pills that I have concocted this time, and it is at least ten times more effective than the previous pills.”

“Ten times?” Everyone exclaimed in shock.

They would have been satisfied with the same magical pill as last time, but who would have expected Joe to make a pill that was ten times more effective than the previous one?!

At this time, Joe spoke up again. “I dare not say that this medicine will revive the dead or turn the living into an immortal, but I know that this pill will be able to strengthen your physical body, prolong your life, and cure diseases. If you are breathing your last breath, you will be able to live a few more years after taking this medicine. However, you should be extremely cautious when taking this pill. Do not take the entire pill in one go because it might be too strong for your body to handle!”

Everyone was really surprised. How could this medicine possibly be so amazing?
