Hao Ren disconnected the call and watched Vivian look at him with an alert gaze. He smiled faintly and said, "Believe me, I didn't come here bearing any evil intentions, Mrs. Skye. Let us wait for your husband to come over and discuss this small issue. I assure you, what I have to offer is not something that any of you would be able to look away from, and you would not regret this moment either."
Doctor Greene saw the scene and even heard the words but she could not put the head and tails of the situation together. Hao Ren looked at her and asked, "Doctor Greene, how would you like to work for the charitable organization, New Dawn Foundation, that deals with medical, and educational welfare for the remote regions and also the underprivileged?"
Marina Greene was surprised by the sudden offer. Hao Ren said, "I have seen your profile, you have spend a lot of time trying to help people who could not get proper care. People like you will never be appreciated when the head of the department is afraid of failure and hungry for success."
The lady was surprised, but then she said, "I will need some time to think about it, Mister Hao."
Hao Ren nodded in understanding, and said, "Would you mind if I talk to Mrs. Sky alone?"
Marina Greene looked at Vivian who nodded faintly and then the former left the room. After the door closed, Vivian asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Hao Ren replied, "My identity is real, unlike you and your husband, Mrs. Skye. I am a businessman, and your husband has caused me a great deal of pain. I understand that it is your job to deal with people who can potentially misuse their powers, but why must you bother people like me? Why must you push my old mother to the edge of death just because of a suspicion?"
Vivian narrowed her gaze and clenched her fist. Hao Ren knew that he was weaker than her, and with Harvey Skye coming over, he had no chance so he only said, "You people are fools to allow your daughter to be in this condition even though you are cultivators."
As soon as he said the last word, Vivian almost dashed over to attack him but Hao Ren said, "I can cure your daughter, and she can have a normal life again."
His words shocked Vivian in her place, she could not move, but then she asked with an angry expression, "Do you think that your joke is funny? I can kill you as easy as it is to kill a dog."
Hao Ren nodded and sat down on a sofa, and the next moment, he flicked his hand. The space ring was where he had stored some tooth picks from the hotel. The force and the move of his hands was so unpredictable, that Vivian was caught off guard, and the toothpick hit her forehead.
She was surprised when Hao Ren said, "Just because you are a cultivator, that does not make you invincible. I shot that toothpick at the center of your forehead and only the blunt end hit you. Imagine what would the result be had I aimed at your eyes with the sharp end. Or worse, what if the toothpick had flown over to hit your daughter?"
Hao Ren smirked and said, "Fool, you are a cultivator that only exists in the myth of this mortal world. Although your strength is as puny as that of an ant in the cultivation world, do you really think that the spiritual energy cannot fix a microscopic leak? Did your brain turn into mud after working as the lapdog of DEHB for all these years?"
Harvey clenched his fist and spoke with a lot of effort, "DEHB will not allow any spiritual energy implementation outside of their operations. If they found that I have used my skills then they will kill Lilac to make an example for the others."
Hao Ren narrowed his gaze and said, "Mister Skye, your employers don't sound very friendly to me. Anyhow, can you go away from my family? I will help your daughter and it will not need spiritual energy at all."
Harvey Skye was stunned and he almost without hesitation said, "Yes. If you can save my daughter I will do what you ask of me, I swear in the name of my martial heart."
Hao Ren smiled and then put his hand inside his pocket to bring out the small plastic box from his space ring and said, "This is your antidote, have it while you still have a chance to live."
Then he tossed him the box and Vivian helped Harvey with the small paste. Hao Ren stood up, and approached the bed. He measured Lilac's pulse and his medical skills came to life. He could see a three dimensional model of Lilac's body in his conscious and then track back the vague electrical channel flowing through her skin, he located the clot hidden deep under her skull.
Then he opened his eyes and said, "Your daughter is alive because the vein closed on its own, one of you must have rescued her, but the clot has caused the cranial fluid to increase the pressure on her brain. That is why she is in coma, and also, the clot is de-oxygenized. It is infecting her slowly. Let me guess, she is alive because Mrs. Skye has been secretly feeding her with elixirs?"
Harvey Skye stood up from the ground and took a deep breath, he replied while cleaning his forehead, "We don't have elixirs but we feed her a herbal drink with some of our spiritual energy in it."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Clever, you are only giving her the energy she needs to stay alive. Even if someone came to check, until you have fed her, they won't find the signs."
Harvey took a deep breath to calm his mind and asked, "Can you really help her?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Just get me a few golden needles and then follow the traditional prescription, she will wake up in two days, but briefly, she will still need a lot of care."
Harvey Skye nodded and said, "I swear if you caused any trouble or my daughter is harmed, I will take your head off before you can walk out of the room or say the word, 'Sorry.' Do you understand?"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "We shall see about that."
