Back to My Worst Birthday and Starting Anew
Chapter 139 The Needle’s Deception.
At that moment, Charmaine’s phone buzzed twice.
She picked it up and saw that Micah had replied to her message.

scolded for two hours. Both masters are now looking for me. Don’t you guys
want to contact each other directly to build a relationship?”
Charmaine’s eyes flickered for a moment before she quickly typed a reply on her phone.
“Basil” tried to sound wise. “I have my principles. If Mr. Emyr isn’t satisfied with the price, then I’ll have no choice but to leave.
He rose again, and Freya glanced at Emyr worriedly.
Emyr’s expression was unfathomable. After a brief silence, he spoke up, trying to retain him. “I can agree to Master Field’s conditions, but I have one condition too.”
“Why wait for a better day when today’s good enough? Master Field, let’s begin with the first treatment now,” Since the person was already here, Emyr didn’t want to delay any further.
“Basil” raised an eyebrow. “Young man, this illness has been with you for a while. It won’t be fixed in just one or two sessions. You can’t rush these things.”
Then, “Basil” switched tactics. “I’ll accommodate you. I can give you a basic treatment with just three needles. Consider this as your treatment, but you’ll need to pay for those three needles.”
Emyr raised a hand. Tad took out a check and handed it over to him.
Emyr uncapped his pen, swiftly scribbled down an amount, tore off the check, and passed it to the old man,
“Three needles, 100 million dollars. It can be cashed immediately.”
“Basil” looked at the check that Tad had handed him and quickly took it.
Realizing Emyr’s impatience, he cleared his throat. “Mr. Emyr, you truly are a straightforward person. No time to waste, shall we begin now?”
“Please, Master Field.”
The old man walked up to Emyr, pulling out a golden needle wrapped in fine brocade from his pocket.
He pinched one needle between his fingers and gently brushed his hand over Emyr’s leg.
Then, with a sudden motion, he grabbed Emyr’s wrist, his fingers pressing on a certain point, and without hesitation, he inserted the needle.
Emyr’s brow furrowed sharply,
Charmaine couldn’t believe her eyes.
Goodness!

into his arm!
Impressive!
This is just a pure fraud, making Emyr out to be a complete fool!
Freya was equally stunned. “Master Field, wasn’t the treatment supposed to be for his leg? Why…”

“Basil” spoke with a calm, commanding tone. “Don’t interrupt me while I’m performing the treatment. Freya immediately clamped her mouth shut, suddenly eager to be obedient.
After the first needle, “Basil” swiftly finished the remaining two. All three needles were inserted into Emyr’s
About five minutes passed, and then “Basil” asked, “Do you feel anything unusual?”
Emyr arched his eyebrows. “Nothing.”
“That’s normal for you to feel nothing. Your leg… it’s severely injured. No wonder no one’s been able to trea it. Luckily, you met me, the so–called “Basil” said with a deep, knowing tone.
Suddenly, his fingers hit a spot on Emyr’s knee, and the left leg twitched.
Freya’s voice cracked with shock. “It moved! It moved! Emyr, you can move your leg!”
Tad’s face lit up with excitement. “Mr. Emyr, do you feel something now!”
“This is what I expect from Master Field. You’re truly impressive! Three needles, and they’ve done more than months of previous treatments!”
“Basil” basked in the praise. After a brief moment of surprise, his demeanor became a little more proud. “This is nothing. If three needles didn’t work, then I’d really have wasted my reputation.”
Charmaine stood behind him and laughed.
This man was all talk, acting one way in the front, then switching to another when it suited him. He knew how to save his reputation.
Freya was something else too, managing to find such a laughable fraud.
However, Charmaine had enough. She stepped forward with a calm but pointed tone, interrupting them. “So, Master Field, you’re telling me that these three needles, all targeting points for insomnia and kidney deficiency, are somehow going to heal Emyr’s leg? Do you think you can cure Mr. Emyr effectively by treating unrelated organs?”
Freya shot her a glare before suddenly looking enlightened. “Charmaine, are you afraid that if Master Field heals Emyr, you’ll be kicked out of the Crosses? Is that why you’re talking down on him?”
“Basil” remained unfazed, his voice soft but earnest as he addressed Charmaine. “Young lady, you speak with such ignorance. Your knowledge of needle treatment is surface–level. Don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you. You’ll need to put more heart into your studies from now on.”
“Is that so?”
Charmaine raised her phone and waved it teasingly. “Master Field. I happen to know one of your fellow

disciples. Maybe you two should have a little chat?”
