The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

Chapter 23



Chapter 23
“Help! Is there a doctor nearby? My grandfather is unconscious. Please help him!”
The girl kept calling for help. Her voice was full of fear and worry.
Haylan frowned and looked over.
A crowd of onlookers gathered, watching and talking with each other.
A pretty, ponytailed girl of about 18 was in the middle, panicking and screaming for help.
Her tearful face was written with fear, panic, and helplessness.
Next to the girl lay an elderly man in his seventies, his hands on his chest, his eyes closed tightly, and his face contorted in pain.
He was sweating profusely and panting heavily. He looked as if he were about to die at any minute.
“What a pretty girl. But we still can’t tell if she’s telling the truth. Maybe this is a scam. We would be fucked if we helped her.”
“You are right. An increasing number of people fake injuries just to extort money.”
“Let’s wait a while to see how this old man is doing. If he does have a serious illness, as this girl said, an ordinary doctor might
not even be able to save him.”
“He’s either having some kind of seizure or faking it.”
Most of the people looked on passively, pointing and talking about it with cautious expressions on their faces. No one offered a
helping hand.
“He’s having a heart attack!” Haylan muttered to himself.
Even from a distance, he could see at a glance that the elderly man was seriously ill, with a severely blocked artery in his heart.
That was why he was in a lot of pain and couldn’t get up.
Now that his condition had worsened, the consequences would be unimaginable if he didn’t receive
treatment soon.

“I am a doctor! Get out of the way!”
He instantly ran over with stern eyes.
A man was dying. He had no time to think about the consequences at such a critical moment.
The crowd parted to make way for Haylan, who rushed over and immediately came to the side of the elderly man and the young
girl.
“Sir, are you a doctor?”
The girl’s eyes lit up with joy when she heard Haylan’s words. She grabbed Haylan’s arm and begged him as if he were a savior.
“Sir, please, please save my grandfather.
“As long as you save him, your reward will be generous.”
Her grandfather’s condition was deteriorating even after he took medicine.
It would be too late even if he were taken to the hospital right now. Her only hope was Haylan.
“Calm down. Let me take a look,” said Haylan.
Then he squatted down beside the elderly man and took his pulse.
His eyebrows knit together.
Chapter 23
The artery in the man’s heart was too clogged, his pulse was weak, and his skin was damp and cold, indicating that he was
already in shock.
“Doctor, how is my grandfather?” The girl’s eyes were full of concern and fear.
“He is having a heart attack. His artery is blocked. It’s severe. Since he doesn’t have access to radiofrequency ablation, I’ll treat
him with acupuncture.”
With a solemn expression, he spread out the needles he had with him.
He had bought the silver needles before his meeting with Declan and intended to use them as

weapons.
Now they came in handy.
“What? Acupuncture?!” The girl was shocked.
It was widely known that acupuncture was traditional medicine and only a conservative treatment. But this man was using it as
an emergency treatment?
“Treating a heart attack with acupuncture? Is he serious?”
“Is this man a charlatan?”
“Even if he’s not a charlatan, he’s probably a quack. This old man is going to die!”
“Hey, don’t let him treat your grandfather. He is a quack. Your grandfather will die here!”
After the crowd saw Haylan take out the silver needles, they began to discuss among themselves again, looking at him
suspiciously.
At that point, an ambulance arrived. A young doctor in a white coat got out and strode over. When he saw Haylan and the
needles, he shouted, “What the hell are you doing? Stop it!”
Haylan looked up and asked, “Why?”
“I am a doctor. This man is very sick. How can you treat him with acupuncture? Get out of here!” The young doctor’s eyes were
filled with rage. He thought Haylan would only harm the elderly man.
There was no way that acupuncture could have any effect on an acute illness.
“Choose your words carefully if you know nothing about traditional medicine. The patient’s artery is blocked. I can relieve the
blocked artery with acupuncture.”
Haylan glanced at him and started to insert the silver needles.
“Stop it, you quack!” the doctor barked.
‘Wait!” the girl shouted with a hesitant expression.

However, before she could continue talking, Haylan inserted eight silver needles into several acupoints in the elderly man’s
heart.
A loud ding sounded.
He then flicked each silver needle several times and injected spurts of his powerful energy into the man’s body.
The man’s painful expression began to fade, and his breathing became steady.
His life was no longer in danger.
“Holy shit! It worked!”
“Acupuncture as an emergency treatment? How is this possible?”
“Take out your phone and record this. This is first-hand material. The news agencies will be clamoring for it. You’ll get a good
price for it.”

The crowd was dumbfounded to see this, their eyes wide with shock.
Many people got excited and took out their phones to take pictures of Haylan and the elderly man.
“How...” The young doctor stared at the elderly man in wide-eyed amazement.
A man’s life was just saved by acupuncture?
How was this possible?
This was mind-blowing.
The doctor had always believed that traditional medicine could only be used to treat chronic diseases because it was slow and
required careful nursing over a long period.
But this man just stabilized the condition of a critically ill patient with acupuncture. This was amazing-

The next second, his eyes turned cold. He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s impossible for acupuncture to work on a patient with an
acute illness! He must be lucky. There has to be another reason.”
The girl was overjoyed to see her grandfather’s condition improve and looked at Haylan with gratitude. “Thank you so much. You
saved my grandfather’s life!”
Smiling, Haylan replied, “The silver needles can stabilize your grandfather’s heart and let the blood flow.
“But the blockages are still there. So you have to take him to the hospital and have them removed.
“Remember, do not pull out the silver needles before the blockages are cleared.
“Or your grandfather’s life will be in danger again.”
“Okay, I won’t forget. May I know your name? Then, when my grandfather is better, we will visit you to show our gratitude.” The
girl wiped away her tears and nodded, looking at Haylan with grateful
eyes.
“It is a doctor’s duty to save lives. I did it out of responsibility, not because I wanted your reward. You don’t have to thank me. Let
the doctors take your grandfather to the ambulance. They have oxygen and medicine that can help your grandfather,” Haylan
said. novelxo.com fast update
Then he turned around and walked away.
“Sir, wait.”
The girl was anxious and grabbed Haylan’s hand.
This man just saved her grandfather’s life, but she didn’t even know his name. This was unacceptable.
She had to repay him for his kindness.
“Dr. Kwen, we are here!”
Just as she was about to run after Haylan, a nurse and the driver rushed over with a stretcher, their eyes anxious.

Dr. Kwen saw them coming and immediately said, “Miss, I’m a doctor from the Emergency Department at Healthbridge Hospital.
I think it would be better to send the patient to the hospital for examination.”
The girl had no choice but to give up chasing after Haylan. She immediately told the doctor and nurse, “Okay, please save
him...”
Dr. Kwen and the nurse instantly walked over to check on the elderly man.
“Do an electrocardiogram!” Dr. Kwen barked.

As he tried to do the ECG, he noticed the silver needles that had been inserted through the skin on the man’s chest. His face
darkened. “It’s impossible that this is working.”
Then he reached out to pull them out.
“Stop! You can’t do this!”
The girl was frightened and shouted.
“Why not? These things will affect the results of the ECG!” Dr. Kwen said with a frown.
“I don’t care. I won’t let you take the silver needles out,” said the girl in a firm tone, refusing to budge. The man had just said that
if the silver needles were removed, her grandfather’s life would be in
