Chapter 37 Master of Traditional Medicine
“Ms. Huber, your grandfather is on the phone.” Karsyn stepped forward and handed the phone to Karina.
“Wait for me a minute, I’m taking my grandfather’s call,” Karina said after glancing at Robin.
“Go ahead.” Robin shrugged and walked out towards the lobby of Purpeak Club.
He was planning to leave the Huber family tonight and stay at a villa Enzo owned in Hallcester.
After Karina finished talking with Harold, Robin would tell her about it.
“Robin, wait!” While Robin Bruce was lost in thought, Karina Huber caught up with him.
“Grandfather called to tell me to go pick up an important person at the airport right now. Come with me!”
Robin smiled and said, “Ms. Huber, | won’t be going. | don’t plan on staying at your place anymore. | want to go back...” Robin didn’t even finish his words.
Karina saw Cecilia rushing over with her maids and bodyguards.
Karina directly pushed Robin into the car that had just pulled up, and told the butler Mark, “Mark, to the airport!” “Ms. Huber, please let me get off. | won't be going with you,” Robin

said, wanting to get out of the car. But on Karina’s cue, Karsyn got into the car from the other side.
Robin looked left and right at the two beauties, helplessly saying, “What are you guys doing?”
“There’s no time. Grandfather said Blaine Baker, the Chairman of the National Traditional Medicine Association, has already arrived in Hallcester. Come with me first!” Karina explained.
“Mr. Baker came specially to treat Donovan Finley, the father of the Mayor of Hallcester, Ethen Finley.
“This is urgent and can’t be delayed. You have to go with me to pick up Mr. Baker first,” Karina continued persuading Robin. Robin could only shrug and say, “Fine ... okay.”
Karsyn glanced at Karina, and a hint of laughter flashed in her eyes.
Robin saw the car was already on the highway to the airport.
He could only lie back on the seat, about to close his eyes and rest.
Suddenly, he saw an extremely spectacular scene from the rearview mirror of the car.
Following behind their top-tier Rolls-Royce was a row of extremely luxurious Rolls-Royces, Maybachs, and Bugattis! All those were to welcome Blaine, the Chairman of the TMA.
The Huber family had actually mobilized twelve top-tier luxury cars to go to the airport to pick him up!
There were four Rolls—Royces of the same premium model alone.
Chapter 37 Master of Traditional Medicine
The twelve top-tier luxury cars proceeded in an imposing fleet towards the airport.
All the passing vehicles on the way immediately stopped to the side and watched in admiration.
“Such a huge display just to pick up a Chairman of the TMA? Your family is really extravagant,” Robin remarked casually. Karina let out a sigh.
“Although the Huber family has some money and connections in Hallcester, on the national level we are nothing.
“Mr. Baker is a master-level figure in the domestic traditional medicine circle, not someone our Huber family can easily invite over.”
Robin was puzzled, “Then if you can’t invite him, why do you put on such a big show?” “Mr. Baker is willing to come to Hallcester this time because of Mayor Ethen’s father, Mr. Donovan Finley. “Mr. Finley is one of the few remaining veteran generals in Londraland,” Karina explained.
“Now seriously ill and on the verge of death, various treatments have been ineffective. So they invited Mr. Baker, this domestic traditional medicine master, to come treat him.
“When my grandfather found out about this, he specifically asked Mayor Ethen to fund 160 million dollars for city infrastructure projects in exchange for Mr. Baker to come treat my father after healing Mr. Finley.
“So the Huber family is footing the bill for Mr. Baker’s entire trip in Hashville this time.” Chapter 37 Master of Tradition Although Robin didn’t have a good concept of money, 160 million sounded enormous.
Seeing Robin shake his head, Karina went on to explain, “To invite Mr. Baker with such a grand display is a huge honor for our Huber family.
“If not for Mr. Finley's presence, no one in the entire Hallcester could have invited over Mr. Baker.”
Robin looked in the rearview mirror. “There are also two military SUVs. Are they with your family, too?”
Karina nodded. “Those belong to Mayor Ethen’s daughter, Nia Finley. She came with us to the airport to receive Mr. Baker. “Nia is the deputy captain of Londraland’s Warwolf Special Forces. A Senior Colonel in the army and one of the top warriors. “She’s home on vacation these days to take care of her grandfather's illness.”
Robin shook his head. “Isn’t it a doctor’s duty to heal and save people? To make such a big fuss just to see a patient, wasting people and money! Looks like another fame and fortune seeker.”
Karina let out a bitter laugh. “Can’t put it that way.
“Mr. Baker is highly skilled, with too big a reputation. Countless people want him to treat them.
“Even someone of his ability would be too busy if every sick person sought treatment from him.
“So there is an order and hierarchy to these things.
“Besides, Mr. Baker has tens of thousands of disciples all over healing
Chapter 37 Master of Traditional Medicine
people. He personally sees very few patients now.
“Even if Mr. Baker occasionally sees patients, it’s only people who can meet his criteria that have a chance of inviting him. “At the age of 72, he rarely treats patients personally.”
Robin chuckled.
“Isn’t a doctor’s duty to heal for life? And experience counts most in medicine. 72 years old is just getting started in the traditional medicine field!
“This old guy clearly picks patients based on status, just a fame and fortune seeker!”
Karina smiled without debating Robin further.
When Harold first told her these things, she thought the same.
After taking over the Huber Group, she gradually understood the intricacies of relationships and social dealings. Every matter involved links in all directions.
At the core was the most important thing, interests!
There was no such thing as pure altruism in this world.
It was all for Mr. Finley’s identity as a veteran general.
If not, even Ethen, the Mayor of Hallcester, couldn't have invited over Blaine.
Similarly, Donovan's condition determined the future of the Finley family

traditional medicine master of Londraland to prolong his life.
Donovan being alive meant the Finley family's younger generation could keep rising.
Once he passed away...
The Finley family would also decline under suppression and revenge from other powerful families and opponents. Veteran General Donovan had two sons.
The current Mayor of Hallcester, Ethen, was the elder son, and he had a daughter, Nia.
Donovan's second son Devin was the wealthiest tycoon in Hashville.
The Finley family’s second—generation elites knew clearly that before their footing was firm, this big tree could not fall. Even if it meant exhausting all connections and wealth, they had to keep Donovan alive, at least for another three to five years. They didn’t just invite Blaine’s medical team.
They wanted to have a failproof.
So Devin had also invited a famous Potryian medical expert who published hundreds of academic papers to treat Donovan. Robin didn’t bother with these messy things. He leaned back in his seat and soon fell asleep.
The convoy to receive Blaine arrived at Hallcester Airport after thirty minutes.
The convoy lined up neatly stopped in front of the arrival hall entrance.
Chap 37 Master of Traditional Medicine
The airport had received notice an hour ago to clear the area.
Apart from some airport staff, nearly half the airport security was lined up here waiting.
Karina, Nia, and the others got out of the cars and came to the waiting
area. Nia in military uniform stood ramrod straight beside Karina.
The appearance of the two peerless beauties and the lavish entourage attracted gawking passengers at the airport.
Ten minutes later, Blaine’s five-person medical team walked from the airport.
Nia immediately went up to greet them, with Karina following right behind.
“Welcome, Mr. Baker. I’m Nia. | hope you enjoyed your flight!”
Blaine nodded and grasped Nia’s hand. “Nia? It's been so many years, and you’ve grown up so much. Time flies, doesn’t it? “When | first saw you, you were just three years old, still in your grandfather’s arms.
“How is he doing now?”
Nia said bleakly, “He has been bedridden for nearly half a year now, and has been unconscious for two days.”
“Uncle Devin has invited a cardiovascular specialist named Vincent Michael from overseas. He conducted a series of tests on Grandfather.
“Vincent said if their medical team obtains unfavorable data, my grandfather may only have another three or four days to live.” Chapter 37 Master of Traditional Medicine
Hearing this, Blaine let out a cold laugh. “Those doctors always rely on equipment to gather data!
“Then make conclusions about patients’ illnesses without investigating the cause, too irresponsible!
“Their skills are nothing compared to real traditional medicine!
“| know the cause of your grandfather's illness. He can live for another one or two years without a problem.”
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Nia’s eyes. She said even more respectfully, “Mr. Baker, you’re the best doctor in Londraland. My father said that as long as you come to Hallcester, my grandfather can definitely be cured.”
“Colonel Finley, don’t worry! My master has never failed to cure an illness!” said an attractive young woman beside Blaine impatiently.
Nia Finley quickly nodded in agreement. “Mr. Baker, this is...”
“I'm Mr. Baker's disciple, Aliana Carter. Master is tired. Let’s get him into the car to rest quickly.”
Nia immediately said, “Alright, this way Mr. Baker!”
Nia had originally planned to arrange for Blaine to take her Land Rover SUV.
But Aliana pointed to the top Rolls-Royce Karina was in and said, “My master is used to riding this kind of car. SUVs are uncomfortable.”
Nia and Karina exchanged a look, and Karina nodded. “Alright, Mr. Baker, this way, please.”
Karina led Blaine and Aliana toward another Rolls—Royce of the same
Chapter 27 Meefe of Trading Machine
model.
Aliana caught sight of Robin sleeping in the Rolls-Royce ahead and felt displeased.
“Humph! Someone actually sleeping in the car when coming to receive my master, outrageous!” Aliana thought.
She immediately pulled Blaine’s arm and said, “Master, this car will be more comfortable!”
“Ms. Carter, Mr. Baker, you should... take this car...”
Aliana completely ignored Karina's attempt to dissuade her and pulled Blaine towards the Rolls-Royce Robin was in. She directly opened the door and shouted, “You! Get out immediately. My master is taking this car!”
Robin blearily opened his eyes to see an exquisite-featured woman with a fierce expression glaring at him.
“Didn't you hear me? Get out right now!”
