Instantly, the villagers swiveled their heads around to see Fade walking out of the crowd behind Faariq.

For a moment, he was met with curious and dubious gazes all around.

"Faariq, who's this young man?"

"He says he's a doctor, is that true?"

"Who would just show up here in the middle of the night?"

Faariq answered their questions by saying, "This young man is named Fade. He is a tourist who lost his way and came to our village to rest for the night."

It was then that Fade went to Ta bro's bedside. He said, "I can cure Mr. Miao."

"Really?" Ta bro's wife and daughter asked, as they looked at him.

Fade took out a silver needle and nodded. "It's true. I guarantee that I'll cure him in ten minutes."

When they heard that, the two women rejoiced. Hurriedly, they urged, "Then treat him, hurry."

However, just as Fade was about to begin the treatment...

The crowd of villagers began to voice out their suspicions.

"Ten minutes and he guarantees that Tabro will be cured. That's way too much of an exaggeration. At your young age, are you really that impressive?"

"Old Ma may not be a good person, but at least he is skilled in medicine. Even he would require at least two hours."

"This late at night, and a young man suddenly appears in our remote village. It appears..."

Tabro and the two women's expressions all changed when they heard the crowd's doubts. They looked right at Fade.

Of course, Fade knew that they would have their worries about him. He explained to the villagers, "I'm a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner from Capital City. I have certifications. I'm a proper doctor. Additionally, I've learnt from the best doctors in Capital City."

After saying so, he swiftly produced his certifications. He also showed them the photos of himself, Master Choi, and Mr. Tu on his phone.

At that point, the villagers nodded their heads, displaying their trust. Ta bro's wife and daughter once again asked Fade for help.

However, then, a tall and thin villager, who had started the whole tirade against Fade, once again asked, "How are we so sure this certificate is real? Fake certificates nowadays are shockingly real. As for the photo, I've heard of this application called photoshop that is used to doctor photographs and make them look real too. Who knows if that photo is genuine?"

"I guarantee that these are all genuine." Fade went on, "If something goes wrong, I will take full responsibility."

"Can you take the responsibility for a human life?" The slender, tall man asked again. "What's more, Tabro had just been poisoned. Then, an outsider happens to appear saying that he is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who can treat the wound. It's too much of a coincidence. I suspect that there are bad intentions at play here."

As soon as the villager was done talking, the crowd's looks towards Fade evidently shifted. Suspicion colored more and more of their gazes.

Fade was also frowning. He hadn't anticipated the villagers to be on such high alert.

Just as Fade was wondering whether or not he should forcefully commence

treatment, Faariq stood up and stared at the lanky man, wide-eyed. He exclaimed, "Eddy, you aren't one to talk much usually. What's up with you today? Why did you go on a rant?"

"I- I'm just concerned about Tabro. Am I not allowed to be?" Eddy hurriedly retorted, looking a little flustered.

Faariq gave a cold snort. "You? Concerned about Tabro? Usually, you and Tabro never get along this well!"

"We're all from the same village. I may seem aloof usually, but I care on the inside," Eddy continued.

Faariq was about to reply, but just then, Tabro pried his lips apart with difficulty and said, "Drop it. Let.. Let Fade treat me."

"Tabro, we don't know where this brat comes from. Please don't..." Eddy started again.

Tabro waved his hand weakly and said, "Eddy, that's enough. My life means nothing. It's obvious that Mr Chen here is from the big city. What sort of evil intentions would anyone like that have against a small villager like me? You are all overthinking things."

With those words, Ta bro's wife was also convinced. She immediately pleaded, "Mr. Chen, I beg of you to save my husband. Please."

The delicate young beauty, Mona, also begged Fade with her tear-streaked ce, "Sir, please save my father." "Rest assured, he'll be e," Fade comforted them. Then, he went to Ta bro's bedside and felt for his pulse.

When Eddy saw that, he crossed his arms and jeered, "A young man like you, full of pretenses! But there's definitely something wrong with the way you're feeling for his pulse. Dr. Manever..."

"Shut up." Faariq was enraged. He shot a death glare at Eddy and yelled, "If you don't want to see it, get out of here and stop spouting nonsense."

The surrounding villagers also glared at Eddy, anger written all over their faces.

In that situation, his expression

turned flustered. He gritted his teeth,

swore at them, then turned around and ran away with his tail between his legs. "That sort of snake venom can't be cured by ordinary doctors. When matters take a turn for the

worse later, it will be too late for you all to cry."

After driving Eddy away, Faariq reassured Fade, "That Eddy is just a glutton and a lazy punk in the village. Don't pay him any mind."

"Faariq, don't worry. I won't take his words to heart," Fade replied, and continued with the diagnosis.

A minute later, he was done. He then took out his silver needles and stuck one into Ta bro's injured calf, commencing the treatment.

Ten minutes later, Fade removed the last silver needle while telling them, "It's done. The snake venom should be gone now." When he said that, everyone turned their gazes to Tabro on the bed.

It was obvious that color was returning to Ta bro's once-pale face. Furthermore, he seemed to have perked up.

Under the crowd's gazes, Tabro sat up from the bed on his own and tried to move his leg around.

Joy erupted on his face instantly. "I'm fine now. I don't feel any pain at all. Everything's okay now. I'm cured."

"Thank you so much, Dr. Chen." Tabro gripped Fade's hand excitedly, filled with unparalleled gratitude.

From the bedside, the two women also rushed over in excitement. As they were about to kneel and apologize to Fade for their suspicions beforehand, he hurriedly helped them up.

The villagers also gathered around. Some busied themselves with checking on Tabro, while some thanked Fade.

Just as the room was buzzing with activity, someone rushed in looking flustered all of a sudden. "He's here, he's here. Kamber is here!"

"What?"

As soon as they heard that name, their faces fell.

Because "Kamber" was none other than Dr. Ma from the neighboring village.

"Why is he here?"

"What's going on?"

"Eddy is with Kamber! They've arrived at the entrance of the village and will arrive here soon," said the person.

The villagers were even more shocked when they heard that.
