The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie did not expect that the reason Anthony wanted to leave Aurous Hill was because he had lost Serene World Clinic because he had lost a bet to someone.

What's more, he did not expect that the reason why Anthony had made the bet with the other party was to win a medicine cauldron for himself.

He asked with some doubt, "Dr. Simmons, who is the person who made the bet with you?"

"I don't know either." Anthony replied, "That man is quite wild. He only said that his last name is Howton and he is known as Master Howton."

"Master Howton?" Charlie frowned when he heard these two words.

After Quinn had delivered the Healing Pill to her grandfather, Charlie had heard her mention this name once.noveldrama

According to Quinn, this person was a senior Taoist priest in the American Oskian circle and was known as Master Howton. He was very close to Charlie's grandmother and he had even made a special trip to provide treatment for Charlie's grandfather when he was critically ill. He had even had a slight dispute with Quinn for this reason.

After seeing the efficacy of the Healing Pill, this person had wanted to find the person who had refined the Healing Pill. When he heard Charlie's uncle, Christian, mention that there was a Rejuvenating Pill in Aurous Hill, he had decided to come to Aurous Hill to look for it immediately.

Quinn specifically reminded him at the time that he should be cautious of Master Howton in the future. However, Charlie had not taken this person seriously as he was still in the United States at the time.

But now, it seemed that this person had come to Aurous Hill and even found someone who was close to Charlie himself.

Master Howton had even made a bet with Anthony. Charlie did not know if he had simply fallen in love with Anthony's Serene World Clinic or whether Master Howton was specifically looking for an entry point from Anthony because he had already found out about himself.

However, Charlie was not nervous at all. In his opinion, a person who could be shocked by the Healing Pill did not have any great ability at all. He could simply ask Albert to capture him and take him to the dog farm directly.

Charlie was not so arrogant out of blind confidence, but it was because the other party had revealed some small details that showed the person's ability.

If a person was horrified at the sight of a Rolls-Royce, the probability was that the person probably could not afford a Rolls-Royce.

If a person could truly afford a Rolls-Royce, he would not feel that the Rolls-Royce was unattainable even if he did not own one.

So, he asked Anthony, "Dr. Simmons, what did you compete with him?"

Anthony sighed and said, "He wanted to compare our pulse reading skills. A female patient who has given birth to a child is randomly selected for the competition. There are three points in total. The first point is to name the other party's actual age, and the one who gives the age that's closest to the actual age will count as a win. The second point is to list the other party's menstruation date. Whoever gives the date that's closest to the actual date will win. The third point is to list the number of times the other party has gotten pregnant, and whoever gets the number closest to the actual number wins. There are three rounds in total, and the person who wins two out of three rounds will eventually win..."

Charlie could not help but ask awkwardly, "Dr. Simmons, let me digress. Isn't it a little inappropriate for two doctors to compete and guess a female patient's menstruation date and the number of times she had gotten pregnant?"

Anthony hurriedly explained, "Master Wade, you might not know this, but these have always been the content of the pulse test between doctors in ancient times. Although it sounds a bit indecent, it's because it's a fact that women have many more physiological phases compared to men. Therefore, gynecology could best reflect the ability of a doctor to check a patient's pulse."

"Ordinary doctors can read the pulse in the early stages of a woman's pregnancy, and doctors at a higher level can read the pulse to figure out the pregnant woman's delivery date. Doctors at an even higher level can even determine how many times the other party has been pregnant and has given birth. It is said that there are some top doctors who can even judge the gender of the fetus through the pulse, but this kind of person has only been seen in ancient medical books."

"Okay." Charlie sighed helplessly and asked him, "How many rounds did you lose out of three?"

Anthony lowered his head and said ashamedly, "Master Wade, I lost all three rounds..."

Charlie frowned. "The other party is just a Taoist priest. As far as I know, his research is often focused on the way of alchemy, so his medical skills shouldn't be too proficient. Did you really lose all three rounds to him?"

Anthony bowed his head even lower and said, "I don't know why this Taoist priest has such outstanding medical skills, but my skills were indeed inferior to his..."
