A Healer’s Journey

Reynard arrived at a heavily guarded sanatorium with Yona. Jeremy was engrossed in a game of chess with a retired elder.
Seeing their hurried expressions as they arrived, the retired elder chuckled and rose to his feet. “I was only a few moves away
from losing this chess game anyway, so let’s just leave it at that.”
Jeremy nodded slightly, signaling for someone to escort him out.
“Old Mr. Samson!”
“Grandfather!”
Only then did Reynard and Yona stepped forward.
Jeremy picked up the cooled coffee and took a sip, his demeanor unflappable. “Rey, Yona’s behavior is somewhat acceptable.
However, you’re a man in your early fifties. Don’t you think you’re being a bit too frivolous?”
With a bitter smile, Reynard said, “Finnegan has stirred up some trouble. I thought it necessary to let you know.”
Jeremy became interested and put down his cup. “Oh? What did that lad do this time?”
Reynard wore a solemn expression as he informed Jeremy about the situation.
In the end, he said, “Although UnderNet doesn’t reveal the information of those who post bounties, Blood Moon could still
possibly guess that it was Finnegan with a bit of speculation. Once Blood Moon confirms Finnegan placed the bounty for their
headquarters’ location, they’ll likely send an even more powerful assassin to attack Finnegan!”
Upon hearing that, Jeremy remained largely unfazed.
It seemed as though that was nothing more than an ordinary event to him.
Reynard couldn’t help but pause. “Old Mr. Samson, don’t you plan on having Finnegan withdraw the bounty?”
Jeremy asked meaningfully, “Do you think the headquarters of Blood Moon is easy to find?”
“It’s not easy to find!” Reynard replied. “If it were, Blood Moon would have been destroyed countless times over the years. After
all, since its creation, Blood Moon has taken down many world powers. There are many who wish to destroy it!”
Despite that, Blood Moon still existed, gradually growing into the world’s second-deadliest assassin group.

Jeremy said, “You’re overthinking it. Even if Finnegan were to offer a billion, obtaining the address of Blood Moon headquarters
wouldn’t be easy. Otherwise someone would have already been willing to spend a billion or even tens of billions to destroy Blood
Moon. For this reason, Blood Moon will merely consider the bounty a joke, not something to be overly concerned about. They
won’t even suspect Finnegan. They’ll simply assume it’s someone desperately seeking revenge on Blood Moon but have no idea
how to proceed. If Blood Moon does set its sights on Finnegan, then it’ll be quite a troublesome

Reynard left. Yona walked up behind lerrergymnassarings shoulders. “Grandpa, is there some wanted to tell me?”
his beloved granddaughter remained.Ageorice steappeared onjeremy’s face. “What do you think negan?”
bona wasn’t sure why Jeremy was asking that, but after some thought, she replied, “At such a young age, he hhad already
received the true teachings of the miracle doctor. His medical skills are unfathomably egaordinary. He himself possesses
formidable martial prowess. Coupled with his medical skills, he is Divya blend of both literary and martial talents. Next, in a short
span of time, he gained the support of thee cop families in Nuthana, including the strong backing of the Wright family. It wouldn’t
be an exxagecration to call him the foremost figure among the younger generation in Nuthana now!”
Yoona gure a candid assessment. “To achieve such success from a humble background is truly outstanding!”
Jeczony revelded a meaningful smile. “Finnegan is indeed an exceptional young man, but his excellence extend beeyond just his
medical skills and martial prowess. Otherwise, how could he bear the high expectationsofus old fellows?”
Younitenced. Then the only thing left is that he’s the only self-taught disciple of the miracle doctor!”
Jeremy juured ceartily, gesturing for Yona to sit down “Silly child. Indeed, the status of being the self- taught disconteof the
uniracle doctor has greatly enhanced his standing. However, remember, to forge iron. onceussbee strong oneself. Otherwise,
what’s the use of a powerful background?”
The more doonilistered, the more confused she became. “Grandpa, could it be that Finnegan still has some agilities cehash’s
shown yet? Or perhaps some other background?”

Jeremy patted his randdaughter on the shoulder, his words heavy with meaning. “There are two relevant savings i’ll bring up
Aunaster guides, a pupil strives, and ‘the student surpasses the master.’ When you have some free incepanymoore attention to
Finnegan. After all, once he arrives in Durbaine, you won’t be able to avoid interacciggyidth him.”
Having said that. Jereczyyosseto his feet, his hands clasped behind his back, humming a tune filled with the vicissitudes of life
as hice walked away, leaving Yona alone in her thoughts.
After pondering for adonggitince Yvona still couldn’t understand the meaning of what Jeremy had just said.
Deciding to shake off her coonfusions she rose and left the sanatorium.
Meanwhile, Jeremy, who had leeanned, arrived at a loft which was where Zachary was.
They were all retired elders, and innayilike them resided there, so they would occasionally take me time to stay for a few days.
With familiar faces, they discussed the past and reminisced about what once was.
Upon hearing footsteps, Zachary smirked. You really know how to keep secrets. If Finnegan grandson-in-law, I would have told
Rooonadongaconstead of just subtly hinting at her to w Finnegan.”
jeremy laughed. “Yona is not like your Remoon. The cobrnent tell her that Finnegan is her fianc dehntely rush to jadeborough to
break of the engagement with Finnegan and demand the retur marriage certificate! It’s better rodet her pay amennoondo
Finnegan herself, discover Finnegan’s exce and consequently fall for him on her own.
Zachary snorted. “I feel like you’re just pretending wheel However, regarding the two things Rey jus mentioned, you really don’t
care?”
Jeremy’s smile faded. With a grand wave of his hand, detinred, If he can’t even weather such a storm,
what right does he have to come to Durbaine? He should consider this as a form of toughening up! I’m also particularly curious
about how he’s going to resolve these troubles.”
