Chapter 301: Chapter 301: The Hidden Hand Behind the Scene!

"Brother Jenkins, you’re here!"

Golondo smiled as his gaze fell on Lionel Yeager.

Upon seeing Lionel, Golondo paused, surprised, "Brother Jenkins, was it really this young man who healed me?"

Shridan Jenkins replied, "With so many witnesses, could it be false?"

Danbam, Steven Grant, Croce and others nodded in agreement.

They had witnessed Lionel’s treatment of Golondo firsthand; there was no room for doubt.

Golondo promptly got out of bed and walked over to Lionel.

He bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Divine Doctor, for saving my life!"

Seeing that Golondo was able to walk, Danbam, Steven Grant, and the others were stunned.

They knew that for the past few days, Golondo had been bedridden, unable to even wake up, let alone walk.

And now, after just being treated, Golondo was able to walk, which took everyone present by surprise.

Lionel helped Golondo to his feet, reassuring him, "You are a friend of Mr. Jenkins, and therefore a friend of mine, Lionel. No need for thanks."

Golondo looked at Lionel with admiration and respect.

He then turned to Danbam, Steven Grant and the others, "What are you waiting for? Show some gratitude to this Divine Doctor!"

"Thank you, Divine Doctor!"

Danbam, Steven Grant and the others sincerely expressed their thanks as they bowed.

They had the utmost respect for Lionel.

Danbam said, "Mr. Yeager, give me an account number. I will immediately have the remuneration transferred to your account."

Lionel replied, "You can forgo the remuneration. I came to meet Mr. Golondo to ask him for a favor."

Golondo laughed, "Mr. Yeager, you saved my life. I must pay the remuneration and I am obliged to help you!"

Shridan Jenkins added, "Mr. Yeager, there is no need to be modest with him—he is known as the ’Stone King’ in the Main Country and he is very wealthy."

Golondo nodded in agreement, "Brother Jenkins is right, there’s no need for you to be modest with me."

Lionel reluctantly agreed, "Alright then."

He then narrated an account number to Danbam.

Danbam immediately made a phone call and transferred 500 million US dollars to Lionel’s account.

Watching the proceedings, Cohen Cooper was filled with envy and resentment.

Golondo surveyed Cohen Cooper and Croce and instructed, "Danbam, these two doctors came all the way here. It was not easy for them. Give them some remuneration too."

"Yes!"

Danbam nodded and ordered the transfer of 5 million US dollars to both Cohen Cooper and Croce.

"Thank you, Mr. Golondo!"

Croce expressed his gratitude, then turning to Lionel, "Mr. Yeager, your skills truly amazed me today."

"The next time you are in the Flower Flag Country, you can contact me. I will make sure you are well taken care of."

He then handed a name card to Lionel.

Lionel accepted and assured him, "If I have the chance, I will certainly visit the Flower Flag Country."

Thereafter, Croce left with his team.

Cohen Cooper asked Lionel coldly, "Kid, you’ll be participating in the 9th Medical Conference held in East Nation, right?"

"Yes."

Lionel nodded.

Cohen Cooper replied, "When the time comes, we from the Hans Medical Gate will show you what true medical skills are and who a true Divine Doctor is!"

Lionel smiled, "Great, I’m looking forward to it."

Cohen Cooper snorted and left with his disciples from the Hans Medical Gate.

Once Cohen Cooper and the others had left,

Golondo dismissed everyone else, leaving only Lionel, Shridan Jenkins, Danbam, and Steven Grant.

Behind closed doors, he turned to Lionel and asked, "Mr. Yeager, I heard that I was not merely poisoned this time, but also cursed?"

Lionel confirmed, "That’s correct."

He questioned further, "May I ask, Mr. Yeager, what poison was I subjected to?"

Lionel replied, "Mr. Golondo, I speculate you were subjected to the ’Five Grain Poison’."

"This is a chronic poison that poisons people through the grains that are consumed daily."

Golondo, puzzled, asked, "But my food is prepared by a dedicated chef. Every dish is inspected before it is served. How could I still have been poisoned?"

Shridan Jenkins and the others looked at Lionel, equally perplexed.

Lionel expounded, "Our food contains natural toxins."

"While the quantity of these toxins is usually negligible and quickly broken down by our bodies, causing no harm."

"However, if you consume food that consistently contains some toxins, which your body cannot break down."

"Those toxins build up over time. When they reach critical levels and break out as a virulent poison, it can be lethal."

"I see."

After hearing Lionel’s explanation, Golondo understood the situation.

He then asked, "Mr. Yeager, you mentioned earlier that I was also cursed. What happened?"

Lionel explained, "Mr. Golondo, I believe the same person is responsible for the poisoning and the curse."

"The starting of the poison and the proclamation of the curse are a complement to one another, and can silently claim your life."

"Even skilled pathologists wouldn’t be able to detect anything."

"Damn it!"

Golondo clenched his fists tightly, his face angrily demanded,"Who is trying to harm me?"

Shridan Jenkins advised sternly, "Old Brother, you have to find out who’s pulling the strings as soon as possible."

"This time you were lucky Lionel was here to save you."

"Next time, if that person tries to harm you again, it could be dangerous."

"Of course!"

Golondo nodded and ordered Danbam and Steven Grant, "The two of you, go and investigate this immediately. Use any means necessary to find out who’s pulling the strings."

"Yes!"

Danbam and Steven Grant agreed and immediately left to carry out the order.

"Patrick, you go and investigate this too."

Shridan Jenkins instructed Patrick Kenith.

"Yes!"

Patrick Kenith too, immediately left to conduct the investigation.

When only Lionel, Shridan Jenkins, and Golondo were left in the room, Lionel broached a delicate subject, "Mr. Golondo, do you think the culprit could be someone close to you?"

"Someone close to me?"

Golondo frowned slightly, then shook his head,"It is highly unlikely. Everyone around me is loyal to me. They would not harm me."

Lionel reassured him, "It is only a speculation, take it with a grain of salt."

"No problem."

Golondo waved it off and soon asked, "Mr. Yeager, you mentioned earlier that you needed a favor."

"No matter what it is, just let me know. I’m more than willing to help."

Lionel reached into his pocket and discreetly took out the Spirit Stone from his storage ring. He handed it to Golondo and said, "Mr. Golondo, I heard from Mr. Jenkins that you gave him this jade."

Golondo inspected the Spirit Stone and confirmed, "Yes, I did give this jade to Brother Jenkins."

Lionel inquired further, "May I ask where you mined this jade?"

"This jade was mined from one of my quarries."

Golondo answered and then curiously asked, "Is there a problem?"
