A Man Like None Other - Season 7 Episode 55

Instantly, sweat began beading on Zyaire’s forehead. He swiftly turned to Jared, wanting to explain to the latter, but Jared gave him a look that stopped him. Jared was sure that Zyaire would not dare to pocket any money for himself, so Stieg had to be bluffing.

Furthermore, Jared himself did not know that his revitalizing pills could cure hysteria. Stieg was lying through his teeth. Although the revitalizing pills could energize a person and strengthen their body, they could not force a spirit out of a human body.

Nevertheless, Jared did not expose Stieg right away. He was going to wait—he wanted to wait until Stieg had made a fool of himself. Once the Sabines realized that Stieg was useless, they would naturally come to ask for his help.

Knowing what Stieg meant, Frazier promptly said, “Dr. Jeppesen, the Sabine family will be the one to bear the expense of the pill. We won’t have you bear it…”

“Mr. Frazier, you’re too courteous. That’s not what I meant. It’s just a few million; it’s not a lot.”

Stieg smiled and waved his hand before giving Ludovic the revitalizing pill. “Give it to your father. I’m sure he’ll recover soon.”

Ludovic thanked him profusely before taking the pill from him carefully. Then, he rushed to the back of the house.

The Sabines waited anxiously, hoping that the revitalizing pill would be useful.

Dozens of minutes later, Ludovic ran back, beaming.

“Ludo, how’s your dad?” Ludovic’s mother asked.

“Mom, Dr. Jeppesen’s revitalizing pill really works! After Dad ate it, he stopped shouting and even called my name! He can recognize me now!” Ludovic exclaimed.

“Is that so? That’s great news! I must see him now!” Ludovic’s mother said before turning to head to Ewan’s room.

Ludovic stopped his mother. “Mom, Dad was only awake for a while before he went to sleep. It’s meaningless even if you go to him.”

“Dr. Jeppesen, Ewan fell asleep again. What’s the matter?” Frazier asked in confusion.

“Mr. Sabine was mentally impaired for a while, and his body was controlled by another entity. He has overexerted himself. Now that he has returned to his senses, he must be exhausted, so it’s nothing unusual for him to have fallen asleep,” Stieg explained.

Hearing that, the Sabines nodded in understanding, the respect they had for him growing exponentially.

“Mr. Frazier, I’ve treated your brother’s illness, so I think it’s time that you lead me to the decamillennium ginseng,” Stieg said.

Frazier opened his mouth, but when he looked at Jared and Zyaire, he closed it again. After a moment of hesitation, he said to Zyaire, “Zyaire, we should have been good hosts to you since you’ve come all the way to the Sabine residence from within the border. However, today isn’t too good of a day. Please, Zyaire, bring your men away. I’ll definitely come to you another day to treat you to a meal.”

Evidently, Frazier was asking Zyaire to leave, but he could not ask him to do so straightforwardly.

Frazier’s words embarrassed Zyaire, yet there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Frazier had been exceptionally polite to him. He could not possibly refuse to leave.

Helpless, Zyaire looked at Jared, hoping to decipher what the younger man thought about it.

“Do you really think that your brother has recovered?” Jared asked Frazier.

“Huh? What? Didn’t you hear what my nephew just said? Ewan can recognize him now. He’s only sleeping.”

Frazier had complete trust in Stieg, for he had long known about Stieg’s identity.

Jared snorted. “The revitalizing pills can revitalize a person’s mind, but it’s just a supplement. It can’t cure anything, not even hysteria. Besides, since when is this revitalizing pill worth millions? Why don’t I know about it?”
