Chapter 579: Voodoo!
Yoel said, “The Steele and Park families are both part of the eight great secret families in the world. Decades ago, the eight great families were as close as real kin. Now, although the younger generation is no longer as close as the previous generations, the Park family won’t purposely cause trouble for you.”
Jordan said, “I’m not afraid that they’ll attack me. I’m just afraid that a certain Park family member will show off in front of me. I can’t stand it when someone is overly arrogant! Previously, when I married Haily Camden, I could tolerate others flaunting their wealth in front of me and calling me poor. This is because I know that my family is richer than them. In my eyes, they are just ants. I can ignore their posturing.
“But the Park family is different. Their family is really powerful!”
Yoel sighed as well. “That’s right. I heard that the Park family has been researching medical aesthetics all this while. They should have made many huge breakthroughs.”
In return, Jordan said, “They’ve already developed a medicine that can make a person look 10 years younger.”
!!
“What?”
Yoel was shocked. “The Park family is that powerful?”
Jordan nodded. “I’ll be going to South Korea to steal this medicine and to let our medical team study it. Dr. Zielinski, I heard from Grandpa that our own traditional medicine has already reached a very impressive level?”
Yoel said proudly, “That’s right. Back then, with the help of Deity, our traditional medicine doctors had astonis.h.i.+ng breakthroughs! Basically, we can use traditional medicine methods to treat all kinds of difficult illnesses. We can treat patients using our herbal concoctions! Mr. Jordan, how many wives do you have now?”
Jordan did not understand why Yoel was suddenly asking about this. He replied, “Two.”
Yoel laughed. “Although you are young and robust, there’s a limit to a person’s energy. I’ll brew some herbal medicine for you now. I guarantee that after you take it, you’ll be able to easily satisfy both wives tonight.”
Jordan: “…”
Jordan felt rather awkward. F*ck, did the Steele family use the Deity to help improve their traditional medicine skills just to enhance their s.e.xual prowess?
Jordan quickly stopped Yoel. “Dr. Zielinski, there’s no hurry. I’m still young. I can handle it for the time being. I don’t need to take any medicine…”
Jordan had always been confident in this aspect. As a man, taking such medicine would be an embarra.s.sment for him. Instead, he asked seriously, “Do we have any medicine that can compare to the Park family? Something that can top a drug that will make someone look 10 years younger?”
Yoel shook his head. “To make someone look 10 years younger is already considered heaven-defying. Our traditional medicine skills are better than the current level on the open market, but we haven’t reached the Park family’s level yet.”
Jordan sighed. The Steele family’s medical skills were probably not as good as the Park family’s. However, Jordan did not want to be looked down upon by Park Chan-young. Since he was representing the Steele family, he had to regain the honor of his family and make the others look up to him!
Jordan continued to ask, “Do we have any traditional medicine that appears very powerful? Something flashy that can be used as a very convincing hoax?”
“Hoax…”
Yoel was stunned for a long time before shaking his head.
Jordan sighed. “Since there is none, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll come to find you another day to study our family’s traditional medicine skills.”
Just as Jordan was about to leave in disappointment, Yoel suddenly called out to him, “Wait! Mr. Jordan, objectively speaking, the Steele family’s medical skills can’t compare to the Park family’s. However, if you just need something flashy as a hoax, I do have something.”
Jordan was delighted. “What is it?”
Yoel answered, “Voodoo!”
Jordan frowned. Of course he had heard of voodoo before but he had no idea what Yoel meant exactly.
“What do you mean?” Jordan asked.
Yoel explained. “According to ancient books, voodoo can be used to treat certain conditions. Many people believe that it’s actually a type of psychotherapy that uses psychological induction to ease the patient’s condition.”
Realization dawned upon Jordan. “I remember reading something about this. Some do believe that voodoo can be used to treat mental illnesses. No one can determine if it’s truly effective or if it is just superst.i.tion, as one’s beliefs and mental state can have a major impact on the physical body. Meanwhile, modern medicine is becoming increasingly focused on oral drugs. Patients find this kind of treatment the most reliable.”
Yoel smiled. “Your breadth of knowledge is amazing.”
Jordan asked, “How can we use voodoo as a hoax?”
Yoel smiled. “Back then, when your father was young, he was quite superficial. I heard that he was also pursuing a girl. The Deity was still around and he asked the Deity for help. I recall that the Deity taught him one move.”
Jordan was curious. “Can you demonstrate?”
Yoel nodded and went to his room to get a paper to draw a charm. “I’ll draw a random charm for you first.”
Yoel drew a pattern on the paper.
“Now, we’ll pretend to treat you. What illness do you have?” Yoel asked.
Jordan shook his head. “I’m quite healthy. I’m fine.”
Yoel said, “This is just an example so we’ll come up with some disease for you. For example, you’re impotent now.”
Jordan: “…”
‘F*ck, you old man. Can’t you just come up with some other illness? Why must you come up with this kind of illness?!’
Yoel said seriously, “You’re powerless in bed. You can only look at your beautiful wives but cannot satisfy them. Moreover, they’re complaining about you. You’ve been thinking about this.”
Jordan stuttered. “I…”
If Jordan could not satisfy Lauren and Victoria, he would just kill himself!
Yoel continued, “Take off your s.h.i.+rt.”
Jordan obediently took off his s.h.i.+rt. As long as he did not have to take off his pants, everything would be fine.
Yoel suddenly threw the charm into the air. It floated in mid-air without moving!
With the Steele family’s current skills, this was nothing.
Yoel slapped Jordan’s back. Jordan immediately felt a burning sensation on his back.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for Yoel’s hand to be so warm. It was unknown what method he had used.
Waves of mystical mist rose from Jordan’s back. It really looked like an immortal was channeling magical energy into him.
Yoel instructed Jordan. “Think about your illness. Then, look at the charm and copy out the same pattern with your finger!”
Jordan looked at the charm hanging in the air and asked, “Draw out the same pattern in the air?”
“Yes!”
Jordan reached out and gestured, drawing out the first stroke.
A shocking scene appeared. He had drawn a golden line in the air!
