Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Master?

Actually, when Xia Liu said Mark was bald, Liu Mang had his doubts because he had met Mark, and indeed, the man was bald.Mark often topped the medical news headlines, and anyone who paid attention would know, so Liu Mang thought Xia Liu was showing off.

If Liu Mang couldn't get in touch with Mark, then he would be the one showing off, but as long as the call went through and they talked, Xia Liu would have no face to stay. That was Liu Mang's line of thought.

To convince everyone present, Liu Mang even initiated a video call.

They were about to witness a legend in the medical field, and the few doctors present were thrilled beyond measure. They had lost all interest in competing with Xia Liu; they just wanted to see Mark, even if only on video.

Xia Liu remained unconcerned, continuing to leisurely pour wine and pick up dishes, enjoying himself with Fang Fei.

Soon, an image appeared on Liu Mang's phone screen—a very spacious room was visible, and right at the center of the video was a large round bed. The British-style decor was prominently on display.

On the round bed, a shiny bald head was particularly eye-catching, followed by a fair face, a typical American Caucasian, only slightly less appealing due to the baldness.

"Wow! It's really Professor Mark!"

"Ah! It's actually him!"

Upon seeing this foreigner, several doctors got excited, their screams filling the entire house.

Liu Mang asked them to calm down, then greeted Mark in the video. Due to the different regions, it was morning there for Mark, and by his sleepy appearance, it was clear that he had just woken up.

Mark also responded to Liu Mang cheerfully, but they spoke in English, and fewer than five people present could understand them.

"Xia Liu, this guy seems to be for real." After understanding the conversation between Liu Mang and Mark, Fang Fei looked at Xia Liu with some concern.

Li Qinqin didn't know what was happening, but she felt strangely sad. She really didn't want to see Xia Liu make a fool of himself, yet she dared not say anything.

Xia Liu gave a faint smile, reassuring the two girls. Since he had laid the groundwork, he surely had a way to turn the situation around.

And indeed, while Liu Mang and Mark were chatting in English, Mark on the other side of the video suddenly widened his eyes as if he had seen some monster, unable to utter a word.

"What's wrong with Professor Mark?"

"Does he seem shocked?"

"Professor Mark, Professor Mark?" Several doctors and Liu Mang called out softly, not wanting to miss the chance for such a close encounter with Mark. It would be a lifelong regret if the signal were to suddenly cut off.

At this moment, Mark was intently staring at the video, his gaze fixed on Xia Liu behind Liu Mang. Initially, he didn't realize, but once he confirmed it was Xia Liu, he was shocked, his eyes nearly popping out.

"Master! Master!" Just when everyone was puzzled, Mark suddenly spoke up, and shockingly, instead of English, he spoke in the Huaxia Country language, which everyone could understand!

"Master? Professor Mark, what are you talking about?" Thinking he had misheard, Liu Mang asked in confusion, in English.

"Master! Master! I know it's you, please, please respond to me!" In the video, Mark leaped up from the bed and then knelt on the floor, his eyes reddening as if he were about to collapse into tears the next second.

This scene once again stunned everyone. What was Mark doing? No one could understand.

Lin Hongsheng and the others looked like they were about to collapse. They were absolutely certain; the bald white man was none other than Mark. And now, a top-five doctor in the current medical community was actually kneeling on the ground, calling someone master. Who was his master and why was he crying? Could it be that he had developed delusional disorder?

"Everybody, please don't look at me like that. I don't know what's going on, this is Professor Mark, but I am not his master," Liu Mang explained anxiously, under the intensity of several gazes.

"Baldhead! How did I teach you in the past? A man's knees are as precious as gold, he may bleed, he may sweat, but he must never cry. What have you made of my words?" Just then, a stern voice reverberated throughout the room.

Everyone was startled and turned to follow the voice, only to see a stern face—it was Xia Liu, who had been silent and reticent all along!

"The master is right to reprimand me. Xiao Guang won't dare again, never again," Mark replied swiftly before everyone's confusion could settle. He stood up from the ground, but his composure collapsed in an instant as he couldn't help but let the tears fall.

Although Mark's command of the Huaxia language was not very fluent, everyone heard him clearly; his master was indeed Xia Liu.

That is to say, the world-renowned Mark Bain, ranked among the top five doctors, was Xia Liu's disciple!

This revelation shocked everyone, not only Lin Hongsheng and his group but also Li Zhong and Fang Fei were so surprised that their mouths fell agape.

The one with the ugliest expression was Liu Mang. Originally he had wanted to seize this opportunity to prove himself, but it turned out he had unwittingly helped Xia Liu!

"Master, Mr. Liu has invited me to Huaxia. I will be able to see you very soon!"

"Baldhead, without my permission, you are not allowed to step foot into Huaxia," Xia Liu quenched Mark's excitement with a dose of cold water, leaving him frozen on the spot.

"Understood!" Mark was about to say more, but seeing the serious look on Xia Liu's face, he swallowed his words, bowed his head deeply, and remembered the command.

After Mark spoke, the video was cut off immediately.

Although the video was gone, Xia Liu's words echoed in everyone's minds: "Without my permission, you are not allowed to step foot into Huaxia."

Such was his authority, a single sentence deflated one of the top five doctors in the medical community!

Had it not been for Li Qinqin knocking over a bottle, the silence might have continued.

"Wow! Xia Liu is actually Mark's master!"

"This is terrifying, absolutely terrifying!"

…

The group of doctors, led by Lin Hongsheng, were so shocked that their hearts almost stopped beating. They had just uncovered the medical community's most explosive news—Mark Bain actually had a master, and this master had been drinking with them at the same table!

"Heh, I knew Brother Xia Liu was no ordinary man, otherwise…"

"This brother is indeed extraordinary, but neither Qinqin nor her Aunt's medical conditions are within his capacity to cure." Despite the significant embarrassment, Liu Mang refused to concede. So what if he was Mark's master? He maintained that Xia Liu could not cure Li Qinqin and Xu Fang.

"Young Master Liu might regret this. Qinqin and her godmother are cured. Xia Liu cured them. Today, my godfather invited the doctors over to thank them for their past help and to tell them there's no need to trouble themselves any longer," Fang Fei said with a faint smile, clearly annoyed with him.

"Ah! Director Li, is this true?" Liu Mang trembled with shock and quickly sought confirmation from Li Zhong.

Li Zhong nodded with a smile: "Today's meal is mainly to thank Director Lin and a few others. If it weren't for you all, my wife might not have lived to see this day. Now, both she and Qinqin are completely cured, by none other than Brother Xia Liu, who also happens to be that Mark's master. Let's all toast to him!"
