Edmund snapped back to his senses and discovered that Portia had a black palm print on her chest. She must have been struck from the rooftop with a palm, and moreover, the assailant's palm was poisoned. Edmund had lived in this alley for over twenty years, never knowing that a master was hidden here. "I'm not trying to take advantage of someone in danger, beauty, you're thinking too much!" Edmund quickly pressed several of Portia's acupoints, rendering her completely immobile. Then, with a flick of his hand, he had eighteen silver needles in his grasp. The next moment, these eighteen silver needles, carrying a blur of motion, were almost simultaneously inserted into eighteen major acupoints on Portia's body. Quick as lightning! Portia could hardly believe her eyes, for Edmund's speed was incredibly fast! But what followed was even more shocking. After Edmund inserted needles several times consecutively, and her body was filled with eighty-one silver needles, a Eight Badge shadow enveloped her body. This Eight Badge shadow was also continuously rotating. And on Edmund's forehead, a small Eight Badge shadow appeared faintly. "This... how is this possible..." Portia was overwhelmingly shocked, murmuring to herself. "Beauty, if you don't want to die, stop being so startled and quickly calm your mind." Edmund reminded. Only then did Portia close her mouth, focusing on her dantian, previously, she was worried that Edmund was coveting her beauty, planning to take advantage while she was weak. Soon, she felt a warm flow entering her body from each silver needle, moving through her limbs and body, repairing her meridians and internal injuries. Half an hour later, the acupuncture was over, and Edmund collected the silver needles. His clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and he was much more exhausted. It was his first time using the Gourge Divine Needles, even though he was already at the peak level of an Innate Master, his true energy was severely depleted. "Beauty, your injuries are no longer serious, go take a shower, my sister Brandy will find clothes for you to change into." Edmund said to Portia, called his sister Brandy who was waiting outside, and then sat down on the floor, closing his eyes to meditate and recover his energy. Portia stood up, finding that her chest no longer hurt, her internal injuries and the poison were gone, and her true energy flowed without any blockages. She was sweaty and sticky, as if a lot of impurities had been expelled from her body. She thought she was certainly going to die this time, but after just half an hour of Edmund's treatment, her internal injuries healed, and even her true energy became purer than before. However, her clothes were torn, and Edmund had seen everything, both what should and shouldn't have been seen. But, she felt no anger in her heart, instead, her gaze towards Edmund changed, carrying a different kind of brilliance. She hadn't expected that a man living in such a dilapidated alley could possess such skills. Her curiosity was piqued. When Brandy entered the room, she saw Portia, nearly uncovered but with no injuries, she was extremely surprised, not knowing what had happened, but still followed Edmund's instructions and took Portia to the bathroom. She felt that Edmund, after being in prison for a year, had changed. A few minutes later, hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, Edmund, who had already finished meditating and was sitting on the sofa, remembered the stunning view he had seen when he tore Portia's clothes, his heart stirred, looking towards the bathroom. The next moment, he saw the scenery inside the bathroom. His celestial eye vision was activated! At this moment, Portia was even more enchanting, as she was without any of her close-fitting clothes. "This woman is really too beautiful, adding a bit would make her fat, reducing a bit would make her thin, simply perfect to the extreme, she could compete with my wife Merlot..." Edmund was nearly caught in her beauty. However, not long after, he felt a bit dizzy. He understood that his cultivation was not enough, the vision could not last long, so he withdrew his gaze. He decided that he needed to secretly cultivate during this period, to improve his cultivation level, then, wanting to admire the beauty of his wife Merlot would be effortless. As long as Merlot was alive, he wouldn't be this so-called son-in-law, to marry Merlot back home with grandeur, and it would be up to him when they consummated their marriage, wouldn't it? Not long after, Portia came out wearing Brandy's clothes. It was a dress, both were about 1.7 meters tall, but the nineteen-year-old Brandy wearing this dress appeared pure, whereas Portia, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing this dress, looked exceptionally explosive. Edmund couldn't help but take a few more looks. "Mr. Dawson, I have some urgent matters to deal with, so I'll be leaving first. I will repay you for saving my life in the future." Portia was graceful and thanked Edmund before quickly leaving. "He even said he would repay me, but he didn't even leave a contact method. How great it would be if such a woman could offer herself in return." Edmund sighed inwardly and began to perform acupuncture on his sister, Brandy. After the acupuncture, Brandy's jaundiced complexion improved significantly, and the symptoms of uremia almost completely disappeared. "Brother, my illness seems to be completely cured. Where did you learn this acupuncture technique? It's really miraculous." Brandy was so happy she almost jumped up. Before going to prison, Edmund had graduated from university but hadn't found a job and didn't study medicine. How could he know any medical techniques? "I met a master in prison," Edmund said mysteriously. "Prison is a place where dragons and tigers hide." After resting for an hour, he performed acupuncture on Brandy again to cure her disease completely. Soon, it was morning. Edmund prepared breakfast and ate with Brandy. But before breakfast was finished, Merlot called. "Edmund, where have you gone? Grandma wants us to go to the Conner family's old house. It's probably because Milburn went to complain to her. She wants us to apologize to Milburn. You must come back within two hours." Merlot sounded anxious on the phone. "To apologize to Milburn? Are you kidding me?" Edmund was very angry when he heard this. To let his own granddaughter serve another man on her wedding night in exchange for business benefits, this shameful act was thwarted by him. Now, Mrs. Conner actually wanted him and Merlot to apologize? He wanted to see if Mrs. Conner had any shame left. He had no intention of being a meek son-in-law! As for Milburn, he was indeed looking for that scoundrel to settle accounts. Merlot asked him to return within two hours to find Milburn and teach him a lesson, which was entirely possible. ... Twenty minutes later, Edmund drove to the Pentonly Chamber of Commerce. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a flamboyantly dressed woman, arm in arm with a tall man in his thirties, twisting her waist, also heading into the Pentonly Chamber of Commerce. This woman, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, was tall and graceful, moving like a willow in the wind, full of charm. Edmund's expression changed because this woman was his first love, Sherry. In college, he had fallen for her and was completely smitten. It was this woman who betrayed him at the beginning of their graduation and threw herself into Milburn's arms, also falsely accusing him, which led to his imprisonment with Milburn's help. Soon, Sherry also saw Edmund. Her expression turned cold and she said, "What are you doing here? Haven't had enough of prison food?" "So, you're the one who married into the Conner family, planning to guard Merlot's grave, the unlucky guy, Edmund?" The man with Sherry also sneered, "Today, I finally see you in person. Are you here to apologize to Mr. Milburn? You didn't let him sleep with your wife last night. The consequences are severe!" "Sherry, do you have no shame? If it wasn't for you helping Milburn frame me, would I have been imprisoned?" Edmund sneered, "What, you've changed men so quickly, dumped by Milburn?" The man Sherry was arm in arm with didn't expect Edmund to talk back and immediately became angry. Pointing at Edmund, he cursed, "Kid, I'm Simba, the manager of the marketing department of the Pentonly Chamber of Commerce. Milburn is my big brother, and now Sherry is my woman. You immediately kneel and apologize to my girlfriend. Last year, it was me who found the lawyer for Mr. Milburn that got you jailed. Do you want to go to prison again?" Edmund's expression turned cold, "Simba, you and Milburn, are really good friends, huh? Women are like clothes to you, sharing them around. But what's the point of exchanging such worn-out shoes? Today, I'm here to settle accounts with Milburn. Since you're one of the people who got me imprisoned, I don't mind taking care of you as well!" Now that he had received the Flaming Inheritance, he had gained skills and spoke more boldly. As it was the time to go to work, the conflict between the three attracted a crowd at the company's entrance. "Simba, why waste words with this reformed convict? Beat him up!" Sherry was so angered by Edmund's words that her face turned white. She hadn't expected Edmund to be so bold after being released from prison and even dared to come to the Pentonly Chamber of Commerce. "My dear, this kid is asking for it. I'll make sure he regrets it!" Simba smirked and quickly charged forward.
