As the wealthiest family in the South Province, the Storms chose not to live in the bustling city but constructed the Storm Family Manor on the outskirts in the early years.
Occupying two hundred acres, it resembles a small park.
Dozens of direct and collateral relatives of the Storm family reside here, with hundreds of servants and bodyguards.
"Your grandfather has indeed left a way out for the Storm family!"
As the car entered the Storm family Manor, Carver gazed at the park-like scenery outside the window and couldn't help but express his admiration.
With this piece of land now valued at nearly ten billion, even if the Storm family's conglomerate, Heaven Group, were to collapse, the Storm family members could still live comfortably.
Knowing the terror of Carver, Margaret didn't dare to slack off. She responded with utmost respect, "Grandfather said that there is nothing in this world that can last forever. People must be aware of potential risks. So, over twenty years ago, he bought this land and created the Storm Family Manor. In case of emergencies, we can still sell this piece of land to get by."
Carver nodded in acknowledgment and closed his eyes, choosing to remain silent.
The car stopped in front of the main villa.
Margaret quickly got out of the car and came to the passenger side to open the door for Carver. "Dr. Larsen, we have arrived. Unfortunately, my father and uncle may not have returned yet, so there's no one to welcome you."
"No worries!"
Carver found it more relaxing with fewer people around, especially since he was here to treat Cyril.
However, as Carver stepped out of the car, a carefree and extravagant young man emerged from inside. He made a strange sound, "Margaret, the iron tree has blossomed. Did you find a boyfriend? But this image is too poor, can't compare to Mr. Scott!"
Margaret's expression changed instantly, "Dominic, shut up!"
This was Margaret's cousin Dominic, a playboy who only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun. Margaret rarely saw him, as he was usually absent. Therefore, when she learned that Carver was coming, she only informed her father, uncle, and elder brother.
Unexpectedly, Dominic returned during this time.
Now, he was being disrespectful in front of Carver.
Margaret, who had knelt for a day and night when she went to find Carver for medical help, was naturally nervous.
"This is Dr. Larsen, here to treat Grandfather's illness."
"Divine healer?" Dominic sneered, full of mockery. "Margaret, don't joke with me. How could this young man be a divine healer? You just don't want to admit that you found a man."
Seeing Carver furrow his brows, Margaret couldn't care less. She stepped forward and directly slapped Dominic, "Jerk, he is the divine healer I begged for a few days ago. Hurry up and apologize to him!"
Dominic, who knew about Margaret's request for medical help, also knew whom she had sought help from.
However, Carver was too young, and he simply couldn't believe it. Holding his neck, he shouted, "Margaret, how could this guy possibly be the one? You're just afraid that I'll tell Mr. Scott that you've found a man, afraid that this guy will be beaten to death by Mr. Scott."
Oh my god, why do I have such a stupid cousin?
Did I ever dare to let someone impersonate the invincible Divine Healer?
At this moment, more than a dozen cars were quickly approaching from a distance.
Dominic immediately became excited, covering his face, "Uncle and my father are back. How are you going to explain now? You dared to let someone impersonate the divine healer!"
With such a foolish cousin, Margaret felt anxious, "Dr. Larsen, I..."
Carver calmly said, "No worries."
In no time, more than a dozen cars stopped, and two middle-aged men jumped out of the cars before the bodyguards could open the doors.
Margaret's father, the current chairman of Heaven Group, Edgar, rushed over while asking, "Margaret, where is Dr. Larsen?"
Dominic, who was about to complain, froze.
Damn it, could it be true?
Margaret said, "Dad, this is Dr. Larsen."
Edgar visibly hesitated for a moment, as Carver's youth exceeded his expectations for the reputed Divine Healer.
However, this brief surprise quickly vanished, and he regained his composure. He dared not show any contempt and said, "Dr. Larsen, you finally came." Then, he scolded Margaret directly, "Why haven't you invited Dr. Larsen inside yet?"
Carver smiled faintly, "Mr. Storm, Miss Storm has been quite polite. However, this young master thinks I'm an imposter, causing Miss Storm difficulties in inviting me inside. I thought it might be more appropriate to visit another day!"
By the end of his words, Carver's tone had acquired a hint of coldness.
Edgar's face changed, and he turned around to slap Dominic without caring about his younger brother Lucy Storm standing nearby.
"Rascal, kneel and apologize to Dr. Larsen!"
If Larsen were to leave displeased, it would mean the end for Cyril, his father.
Dominic, now terrified, dared not question further. He quickly knelt and pleaded, "Dr. Larsen, it was my mistake. Please forgive me."
Edgar cautiously added, "Dr. Larsen, feel free to discipline him. As long as you feel comfortable."
Carver nonchalantly replied, "There's no need for much discipline. Just a simple beating for this playboy, make him kneel for a few hours, that's enough. There's nothing much to teach."
Edgar's mouth twitched, giving Lucy a knowing look.
The latter understood and, after everyone had entered, directly took out the fatherly "Cruel Wolf Seven" on Dominic. Dominic immediately cried and begged for mercy, saying he wouldn't dare anymore.
...
"Dr. Larsen, you've finally come."
In a well-equipped medical room, Carver saw the emaciated Cyril, relying on a ventilator and intravenous therapy to sustain vital signs. However, he greeted Carver with a determined voice.
Carver glanced at him indifferently and asked, "Who told you to send Miss Storm to find me?"
At the time when Margaret came to seek medical help, Carver was in a critical moment of detoxification, almost causing the toxins to spread and endangering his life. Thinking about it made Carver somewhat annoyed.
He wanted to know who the bastard was who gave information to the Storm family. Otherwise, even if the Storm family was the wealthiest in the South Province, they wouldn't have the qualifications to know about him.
Cyril, exerting his strength, lifted a finger and pointed to the ceiling, "Old friend from the imperial capital."
"It's them causing trouble for me again."
Edgar cautiously asked, "Dr. Larsen, what about my father's illness?"
Dispelling the initial unpleasantness caused by the interruption, Carver said, "Since I've come, I will fulfill the promise. However, don't be too optimistic. old Storm is old, his body is weakening with age, and it's a natural cycle. Even if I forcibly extend his life, it will only be for seven or eight more years!"
At these words, Cyril's pale face gained a trace of flush, and his eyes were full of excitement. "Dr. Larsen, that's enough, that's enough!"
He was already eighty-three, and the doctor said he wouldn't last more than two months. Now, if he could last for another seven or eight years, he would be satisfied.
The Storm family members were also excited, "Then we'll trouble Dr. Larsen!"
Carver wasted no more time. He directly instructed the attendant to remove the ventilator, stop the intravenous therapy, and then began using the Nature's Creation Eighteen Needles.
Considering Cyril's condition, Carver first used the Thirty-Nine Changes to stabilize the loss of vitality. Then, he activated the Twenty-Nine Changes to unlock his body's potential and reshape it.
In this way, Carver performed forty-five changes of Nature's Creation Eighteen Needles in a short time, leaving the Storm family members dazzled.
But they dared not make a sound, not even blink, and kept staring...
