I Am the Ruler of All

Thinking that Kingsley was joking, Alice said with a smile, "If you're really capable of such a huge feat, I'll give you whatever you
ask for."
"You said that yourself, Alice!" Kingsley suddenly jumped out of the sofa. "I'll skip dinner tonight. I've got to go back to my room to
make preparations!"
At first, Kingsley had just wanted to cure Joshua step by step, restoring the senses in the latter's body first before gradually
letting him get to his feet. By doing so, not only could he avoid drawing the attention of others, but he could also prove his
medical prowess to Helen at the same time. As for whether the others would think that he was talking big, he didn't take it into
consideration at all.
However, the situation was different now. Alice had promised to do whatever he would ask of her as long as he could cure
Joshua tomorrow. Getting such a promise from the cold and aloof Alice was simply as difficult as winning the lottery. To prevent
Alice from going back on her promise on the excuse that Joshua hadn't recovered yet, Kingsley decided to use everything he
had learned all his life to cure Joshua once and for all.
After returning to his room, Kingsley took a long ivory box out of a backpack that he had brought with him from Coliree Island.
The ivory box was a gift from his godfather. He slowly opened the box, in which nine shiny gold needles lay quietly—the shear
needle, the rounded needle, the spoon-like needle, the sharp-edged needle, the sword-like needle, the round-sharp needle, the
filiform needle, the long needle, and the large needle.
His eyes gleamed as he looked at the nine needles. He mumbled to himself, "Gorgion's Nine Needles have been lost for a long
time. Tomorrow, your strength and marvelousness will be shown to the world once again!"
The next morning, Kingsley and Alice drove to Hill Crest Hospital together.
Before getting out of the car, Kingsley put on a black face mask.
Puzzled, Alice asked, "What are you doing? Why are you wearing a face mask?"
Kingsley replied with a chuckle, "I don't want to have those pedants all over my *ss later on."

Alice didn't understand what Kingsley meant, though. "Alright, cut it out. That's enough," she said anxiously. "Let's hurry and go
to Reene's ward so that we can discuss how to deal with the matter today." With that, she opened the car door and stepped out
of the car first.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the car, she gasped in shock at the sight of the scene before her. "What in the world..."
There were over 100 vehicles of various models in the parking lot, including normal sedans, high-end sports cars, and luxury
cars. Not only that, but these vehicles even included a dozen ambulances from other hospitals in Cleapolis!
"Cleapolis Medical University Hospital, Samaritan Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Cleapolis' College of Traditional
Medicine..." Alice's pretty face blanched at the sight of the hospital names on the ambulances. "Even people from the West Point
Military Hospital are here. This is gonna make a huge splash this time..."
Meanwhile, the entrance to the outpatient building nearby was blocked by a dozen news trucks. Countless reporters were
waiting outside the entrance with cameras in their hands, preparing to vie with one another for firsthand news information.
Thanks to Matt and Felix's premeditation, this incident shocked the entire medical community of Cleapolis. How could these
reporters miss such a hot piece of news? The news media's reckless coverage of the event caused the hype surrounding it to
grow even louder, thus resulting in the huge spectacle at this very moment.
Seeing how the gray-haired elderly professors and scholars stepped into the hospital with the help of their students and
apprentices, Alice only felt her skin crawl. "W-What should we do? How did it get to this point?!"
"These people have nothing else to do, I guess." Kingsley shrugged. "Let's go and see how Reene has been recovering first." He
was busy mapping out the plan to exterminate the spies yesterday, so he didn't come to the hospital to visit Reene. Therefore, he
couldn't care less about these people, who were here just to watch the spectacle. At this moment, he just wanted to go to
Reene's ward to check on her condition.
Kingsley walked straight up to Reene's sickbed as soon as he and Alice entered her ward. "How are you feeling now, Reene?
Does your wound still hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore. Kingsley, what is happening out there? I heard from Cecilia that you're gonna cure a patient or
something?"
Sitting at Reene's bedside, Cecilia also asked hesitantly, "That's right, Kingsley. Did something happen? I heard from my dad
that something happened between you and my—"
Before she could finish her sentence, however, Kingsley interrupted her with a smile. "Nothing. It's just that a bunch of people are
here to watch the spectacle because they're bored out of their minds."
