Chapter 001: The High-achiever!

"Kid, I have to go do something important and won't be able to look after you anymore, so you can go down the mountain and roam around..."

"Remember, eighteen years ago, I made an engagement with the Lewis Family of River City. Be sure to go to the Lewis family and honor the engagement..."

"Oh yeah, these past few years, your five senior sisters have always asked me when you would come down the mountain. If you have time, remember to go see them, as they all miss you very much..."

"And, I created a huge international organization a few years ago. Since I won't be around, you're in charge of it now..."

"The last thing is about your own life. If you can't find someone who matches your innate pure yang body within three years, you're done for..."

On a highway going to River City.

Lionel Yeager sat in the back seat of a red Maserati President, looking at the scenery outside the window, thinking about the things Neal Koontz told him before he went down the mountain.

It's unknown what kind of important things Neal Koontz is doing that he left so urgently.

There are two women in the car. The driver is a young woman.

Sitting next to him is a mature woman.

The young woman has long hair down to her shoulders, a melon seed-shaped face, and wears a tailor-made beige professional suit that highlights her slender curves.

The mature woman has a bunch of black long hair tied back, a delicate oval face, a form-fitting black cheongsam, and a full and charming figure, like a ripe peach.

Both women's beauty and figure can be described as goddesses among goddesses.

Not long ago, he saved these two women from a group of robbers.

So, these two promised to give him a ride to River City.

He wondered how the beauty of his child bride, his fiancé, compared to these two beauties.

At that time, the young woman driving said, "Mr., thank you for helping us just now. Otherwise, my aunt and I would have been in danger."

Lionel Yeager shook his head, "It was just a simple act; there's no need to thank me."

"Mr., my name is Julia Stewart. This is my aunt, Julie Stewart."

The young woman introduced herself and the mature woman, then asked, "What's your name?"

Lionel replied, "My name is Lionel Yeager."

"Mr. Yeager, are you going to River City to find a job?"

Julia asked, then added, "If you need to find a job, we can help arrange it for you."

"That's right. And if you don't have a place to live, we can help arrange that as well," Julie chimed in.

Considering Lionel's plain attire, the two women assumed he was going to River City to find work.

"I'm not going there to find a job," Lionel shook his head. "I'm going to River City to fulfill my engagement with Miss Cindy Lewis of the Lewis family."

"What?! Fulfilling an engagement with Miss Lewis Family?!"

Julia suddenly froze, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Julie also looked at him with a strange expression.

Though not as wealthy as the Stewart Family, the Lewis Family was still a third-class family in River City, considered part of the wealthy families.

It's hard to believe that this young man claimed to be going to the Lewis family to fulfill an engagement.

Seeing the strange look on the faces of both women, Lionel said, "You don't believe me?"

Neither Julia nor Julie responded, obviously disbelieving.

Lionel shrugged, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, everything I said is true."

Julia and Julie didn't ask any further, feeling that Lionel was just bragging.

Cindy Lewis was, after all, the young mistress of the Lewis Family.

And Lionel was just a plain and unsophisticated country boy.

The two didn't seem to be from the same world and would never have a connection, let alone have an engagement between them.

Along the way, Lionel chatted intermittently with the two women.

After more than an hour of driving, they finally arrived at the city center of River City.

But just at this moment, Julie suddenly clutched her chest, breathing rapidly, sweating coldly, and turning pale with evident pain.

"Aunt, what's wrong?"

Julia was startled and quickly pulled over to the side.

Julie weakly said, "Julia, I'm fine; it's just my old ailment acting up again. I'll get it checked out by a doctor when we get to the hospital later..."

Yeager curled his lip and said, "Gorgeous, at this rate, you'll probably die before you even get to the hospital."

"What do you mean!"

Julia was instantly unhappy.

Her aunt, Julie Stewart, was the kindest person to her besides her grandfather!

She didn't want anything to happen to her aunt.

Julie's eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly displeased with Yeager's words.

"Your aunt has been suffering from myocarditis for at least three years."

Yeager glanced at Julie and continued, "Each time it occurs, her heart feels like it's being twisted, and she has difficulty breathing, which can lead to suffocation.

Today's symptoms are at least ten times worse than before, which is why she's so weak.

She has only about ten minutes left to live, and if left untreated, she will surely die after that time."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Julia suddenly became angry, "My aunt just has asthma..."

At this moment, Julie's heart was extremely shocked.

She looked at Yeager incredulously, her voice trembling, "Mr. Yeager, how did you know I have myocarditis?"

"I learned some medical skills from the old man." Yeager replied.

Julia was taken aback but quickly understood.

She asked anxiously, "Aunt, what's going on? Why didn't you ever tell me before? You always said it was just ordinary asthma."

*Cough cough…*

Julie wanted to say something, but suddenly started coughing violently.

Her face turned even paler, and her body shook violently.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you!"

Julia quickly supported the fainting Julie, becoming even more anxious.

"Don't scare me; Julia can't live without her aunt!"

"Mr. Yeager, since you can diagnose my aunt's condition, do you have a way to treat her?"

Julia looked at Yeager, her eyes filling with tears.

"As long as you can save my aunt, no price is too great."

Yeager nodded and said, "I have something to do now, so I can only temporarily relieve your aunt."

"Thank you, Mr. Yeager."

Julia's emotions were slightly soothed.

At this moment, Yeager reached out with his right hand towards the mature woman's chest area.

"What are you doing?!"

Seeing this, Julia shouted in surprise.

She trusted this guy so much, but she didn't expect him to act so lewdly!

Yeager said with a helpless expression, "Don't worry, since the beautiful woman's heart is the problem, I naturally have to start from the heart area."

Julia looked at Yeager with cold eyes, "If you purposely take advantage of my aunt, you won't be able to afford the consequences!"

Yeager just smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he raised his right hand, brought his index finger and thumb together, channeled the true qi in his body, and touched one of the acupoints near Julie's heart!

This was one of the secret techniques from Neal Koontz's "The Medical Immortal's Treasure," the Heaven and Earth Acupoint Hand!

As Yeager's finger touched her, he suddenly felt softness, and his mind was instantly swayed!

Unconscious Julie felt as if she had been electrified, with her whole body feeling numb and her cheeks turning red.

Yeager composed himself and touched the woman's heart area again, quickly withdrawing his hand afterward.

Suddenly, the unconscious Julie stopped coughing, and her complexion returned to normal.

Yeager said to Julia, "Little girl, your aunt is fine now. I have to go; bye."

Having said that, Yeager pushed open the car door and left.

Julia's attention was completely on Julie and didn't notice Yeager's departure.

At this moment, Julie opened her eyes, and Julia quickly asked, "Aunt, how are you feeling now?"
