Not Swayed

Iskandar started to understand Leon’s previous arrogance. He suspected Leon had a relationship with Ezra. The thought of it made him uneasy.

For that, he will be more careful when facing Leon next time. As for how Ezra’s face looked spirited when he saw Leon, he presumed it had something to do with Indra. If it is true Leon has extraordinary medical abilities, then this will be a big problem.

Leon is now in Director Ezra’s office. As he assumed, Indra is there waiting for him. He was overjoyed to see Leon and reached for Leon’s hand to thank him.

When he talked to Indra on the phone previously, his voice sounded weak. Now that they met in person, Indra’s voice seemed to boom uncontrollably. Leon gave him a smile and maintained his composure.

Ezra and Indra looked just as happy, although Ezra is still slightly doubtful of Leon’s abilities. The man who came back to life; maybe it wasn’t Leon’s doing.

Ezra plans to test Leon to prove it.

“Indra recalled that you used an acupuncture technique to save him. Although I studied modern western medicine, I am also interested in learning traditional eastern medicine. If you would show me, I will surely pay attention,”

Ezra didn’t trust acupuncture techniques. In his opinion, the acupuncture points are very mysterious, just like the moves from martial art novels.

He thinks acupuncture is not as scientific as modern medicine. It is based on suggestions and coincidence. But Leon had a different view.

Ezra wanted to see what Leon did to believe it.

“Director, I think that would be unnecessary. Acupuncture isn’t that weird,” Leon said.

In Leon’s reasoning, Ezra became sure that acupuncture only relies on chance. Ezra questions the saving Leon did.

All of a sudden, Ezra’s demeanor changed. “Our hospital has the best doctors and facilities. We won’t let someone with a vague track record be here.”

Those words had Leon suspicious. He kept calm. Besides, as a student, he doesn’t have a say against the dean.

This hospital is indeed famous, but is not the best in United States, moreover if compared to the Kyoto hospital. The hospital itself has a lot of problems regarding the professionalism of its staff. Leon is about to expose that.

“I didn’t want to say this, but is the hospital allowing doctors to receive envelopes from their patients?” Leon asked.

This time Ezra was surprised and curious. ‘Who is it? Do you have proof?”

“I saw it with my own eyes. Dr Iskandar seems to have received a large sum.”

Ezra’s facial expression changed drastically. He was ashamed. It was a punch right to his face.

“Fine! I shall investigate this case. If it’s true, I’ll have it exposed to the public. But the hospital doesn’t need mysterious therapies.”

This isn’t the first time Ezra has received complaints about bribes from patients. For the sake of maintaining a healthy work environment, the case was never opened. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Beyond that, Ezra is angry at Leon for daring to bring the topic up. Ezra was supposed to be the prime figure there, and Leon is nothing but an intern. But what Leon said has put him to shame.

Indra sensed something was off and tried to mediate the two.

“Director Ezra, do you not know that acupuncture truly exists? One of my ancestors happened to be a healer from the Qing dynasty. This technique has done marvels and is recognized worldwide.”

Indra looked at Leon. “Leon, it is better you show us a little bit of it.”

Ezra is still in a state of disbelief. He shook his head and calmly countered. “For Mr Indra, acupuncture can’t be scientifically proven. Do you still believe in him? If he really does have the skills, then why does he bother studying here?”

Leon just smiled. A real rich man wouldn’t show off his wealth. And as a master, he doesn’t have to prove himself to the world.

But Leon is getting agitated now. He decided to answer the Director’s claim to prove that eastern medicine is not to be underestimated.

“Aargh!”

Leon swiftly needled specific points on Ezra’s body. In a second, Ezra stood stiffly like a wooden pole.

Ezra lost his ability to move, not because he didn’t want to. Indra was surprised at what he saw.

“Aargh!”

Not long after, Leon released the needles. Ezra’s body went limp, and he fell onto the floor, shivering. He became covered in a cold sweat.

“How is it, Sir? Does this make you acknowledge the mystery?” Leon asked mockingly.

“You! What did you do to me?”. Ezra looked shaken.

“You can now move normally Sir. But you must promise not to underestimate traditional eastern medicine. A lot might seem mysterious, but that is only because you don’t have the knowledge of it.”

“Is this acupuncture? Is this really it?” Ezra is still in disbelief.

At first, Leon didn’t want to show his abilities. But Ezra was overboard, and Leon was forced to teach him a lesson to make him learn.

Ezra still appeared fearful. His body felt frail. By now, he realized that acupuncture is neither made up nor mysterious.

With a young successor like Leon, this technique wouldn’t have gone into extinction soon. All doubts are gone. Indra showed fear and awe at what he just saw.

“Leon, that was amazing. I didn’t know some highly intelligent people were underexposed. He could be smarter than most of the famous ones. I am humbled.” Indra tried taking control of the situation slowly.

On the other hand, Ezra didn’t have any hatred towards Leon; it was just a doubt. But he realized it now and wishes to not repeat the same mistake.

Leon’s knowledge had been very rare. As a wise director, Ezra thought about how he could keep and guard Leon.

A person inheriting the knowledge of eastern medicine is very rare. Now that there is one in Oregon, Ezra must take advantage.

“Leon, there is still space in the hospital for eastern medicine. Come as you wish. Choose any room you like.”

But Ezra is wrong; Leon didn’t study eastern medicine on purpose. His abilities were pure talent passed down through his ancestors. Only two are left in this world with such knowledge, that is Liana and Leon. Leon didn’t need space from anyone else.
