“Brother Mu, has Joe Di appeared in Tianhuang City?” At this moment, not only Martin Grandwild, but also the mayor of Tianhuang City and several martial academy directors had received the news.
Martin Grandwild nodded, “That’s right, Joe Di has now appeared in Tianhuang City. With Chairman Percy Peng there, he won’t escape. Let’s head to Tianhuang City now.”
“Dad, can I go to Tianhuang City too?” Yvonne Zeng looked at Henry Zeng, her tone playful.
“Of course, of course...” Henry Zeng still felt the gap between him and his daughter growing ever wider.
...
“It’s strange. Logically, Martin Grandwild should have returned to Tianhuang immediately. Why hasn’t he come back yet? Anyway, Luna Cui, since you’ve been possessed, the one who tried to possess you will definitely make killing you their top priority. Maybe they can’t do it yet, but once they can, or can get someone else to do it, they won’t hesitate.” After the misunderstanding was resolved, Joe Di warned Luna Cui.
Knock knock knock! The door outside was finally knocked.
“Is it Martin Grandwild? Should I open the door?” Andy Hou grew nervous. Even though he was now an Earth Stage martial artist, in front of someone like Martin Grandwild, he still felt insignificant. Their statuses were just too far apart.
Joe Di nodded, “Go open the door. It’s not Martin Grandwild, but an old man with blue eyes.”
Andy Hou went to open the door. Standing outside was a slightly disheveled old man wearing glasses.
“Are you Professor Peck?” As soon as the old man appeared at the door, Andy Hou and Cassie Cao recognized him, both exclaiming in surprise.
The old man quickly said, “I am Peck. May I ask if the miraculous healer Joe Di is here?”
In fact, as he spoke, Professor Peck’s eyes were already fixed on Joe Di. With Joe Di’s portrait everywhere, it wasn’t just a desperate medical professor—any passerby would recognize him.
Joe Di said, “I’m Joe Di, but I’ve said before—I’m no miraculous healer.”
Excited, Professor Peck strode up to Joe Di and reached out to shake his hand. Joe Di didn’t mind and shook hands, sensing the longing in Peck’s eyes.
“Dr. Di, I’ve admired your medical skills for a long time. I heard you saved a poisoned martial artist in Jinhai...” Professor Peck specialized in toxins and was an expert in the field. He immediately brought up Joe Di’s detoxification achievements.
Joe Di laughed heartily, looking toward the doorway, and said loudly, “I didn’t just save a poisoned martial artist—I also cured a patient with Nieyuan Disease.”
A group arrived at the door, and Joe Di recognized one of them—Henry Zeng. Henry was pushing a wheelchair, and Joe Di didn’t need to ask; he knew Yvonne Zeng was in it. He was certain Yvonne had been possessed.
The door was opened, without any permission from Joe Di.
Martin Grandwild entered first, laughing heartily. “Dr. Di, I’ve been searching for you for ages. Now that I’ve found you, you can’t keep hiding.”
Chairman Percy Peng’s voice came at just the right moment. “Brother Mu, you’re being unfair. Dr. Di isn’t hiding—he’s probably out searching for medicinal herbs in Tianhuang. With his skills, does he need to hide?”
Martin Grandwild and the other experts looked at Chairman Percy Peng in surprise. What was wrong with him today? How dare he defend Joe Di and even talk back to Martin?
Chairman Percy Peng sneered inwardly. Martin Grandwild must have rushed straight to Tianhuang City without noticing the gate outside, which Joe Di had smashed to pieces with a single strike. If Martin knew Joe Di could reduce a gate built from four massive ironwood beams to rubble in one blow, he’d never dare use that tone with him.
“Brother Peng, your courage is growing.” Martin Grandwild shot Percy Peng a cold look and ignored him.
His gaze returned to Joe Di. “Dr. Di, I heard you have quite a temper. You smashed the city gate as soon as you arrived in Tianhuang.”
He knew Joe Di had smashed the Tianhuang City gate, but not how he had done it.
Joe Di replied calmly, “You’re bold too, using that tone with me. Of course, I’ll settle your accounts in due time.”
“You’re courting death.” After searching for Joe Di for more than a year, Martin Grandwild’s patience was nearly gone. Now that Joe Di was right in front of him, if he refused to treat Martin’s son, Martin would make him regret living.
Seeing Martin Grandwild about to act, Dr. Eugene Yu, director of Tianhuang Martial Hospital, quickly intervened. “Brother Mu, calm down. Young Master Samuel still needs Dr. Di’s help...”
Dr. Eugene Yu stopped just in time, and Martin Grandwild calmed down. Though he was the strongest here, Joe Di was no ordinary man—he was a miraculous healer. In Tianhuang City, a healer like Joe Di would have plenty of supporters. If a few more people like Percy Peng stood up to him, even Martin couldn’t do as he pleased.
Once calm, Martin Grandwild looked at the people behind Joe Di. When he saw Cassie Cao, he instantly knew he’d found the woman he was searching for.
“Dr. Di, I, Henry Zeng, was blind before. You were clearly a miraculous healer, yet I looked down on you and drove you away.” Henry Zeng stepped up to Joe Di and bowed.
Joe Di looked at Henry Zeng in surprise. In fact, he didn’t really dislike Henry. As the head of a major group, it was normal for him to look down on a young country doctor. Henry’s behavior back then was actually quite dignified.
“Director Zeng, since you’ve admitted your mistake, I’ll give you a word of advice.” Joe Di glanced at Yvonne Zeng beside Henry, his tone calm.
