Luna immediately chimed in. "Yes! Let the master examine you so we can all feel at ease."
Loyce gently set her teacup down, the crisp clink instantly drawing everyone's attention. A faint, almost imperceptible smirk played on her lips as she met Channing's eyes.
"This master sounds incredibly formidable. I've heard the name 'SaintHealer' myself. Even the hidden medical channels on the dark web practically worship his skills, claiming he can 'bring the dead back to life.' As a medical student, I'm actually very interested in sticking around to observe and learn. I imagine everyone else here would love to witness a miracle as well?"
As soon as Loyce said that, the guests who had been preparing to make polite excuses and leave instantly rooted themselves to the floor!
She was right! The SaintHealer, a figure revered even on the dark web! Watching such a legendary, mysterious figure perform a live consultation was a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle!
The crowd immediately began voicing their agreement.
"Yes, absolutely! Let us bask in his presence and see the master's brilliance!"
"If we could just witness the SaintHealer's skills, it would be the honor of a lifetime!"
"Admiral Shapiro, please let us stay and watch!"
Channing and Luna exchanged a look, secretly thrilled.
They had been desperately trying to figure out how to establish their "authority" in front of a larger audience and cement the narrative that Lucian was "terminally ill" to save their own bruised egos. Loyce's suggestion was an absolute godsend!
Channing, however, feigned hesitation, turning to Zeke with an expression of deep respect. "We should ask for Grandfather's opinion first. Is it appropriate to expose my brother's private medical condition for everyone to watch?"
