Chapter 404 55 vouchers. Everyone's eyes instinctively followed the girl leading the group, drawn in by her presence. Just yesterday, the Clusia delegation kept getting messed up by Herbal Medicine, but after just one day, nobody dared to put them in the same league anymore. 'Herbal Medicine? Seriously?' someone thought. 'Guess they haven't had enough face-slapping yet, huh?" Stella turned her head, chatting quietly with Landen.

Meanwhile, nobody noticed as an adorable fluffy puffball darted by at low altitude, materializing out of nowhere beside Carmelo, who was strung out from a sleepless night. With a sneaky flick, it slipped a mysterious silver trinket into his pocket. Eggie chirped happily. "Ms. Carter," Orlando called, giving her a wave. Stella glanced over lazily and flashed him a smile. At that moment, the live stream channel, which had been under maintenance, suddenly came back online and happened to catch the scene. [Instant knockout as soon as the stream starts.] [She's here.

She's here.] [So pretty.] [She's glowing.] Stella was rocking a loose white shirt, her long, softly wavy hair gathered into a loose ponytail by Sebastian himself, giving her a uniquely relaxed and effortless vibe. A soft plop sounded. Eggie wriggled back into Sebastian's pocket, hinting for some cuddles. Sebastian, caught off guard, looked momentarily awkward. While Stella wasn't paying attention, he quietly slipped a couple of dried bugs to Eggie as a reward, and gave peregrine falcon's chubby cheeks a gentle pinch. He thought, 'Hmm. Feels pretty good.

Suddenly, Sebastian felt something and looked up. He was radiating pure gloom. Emily, who saw the whole thing, was just speechless. She thought, 'Wait, didn't Stella just say yesterday that Eggie was getting too fat and nobody was allowed to 10:44 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 404 feed him? And now look at Mr. Gray... Doting dads always spoil their kids.' "I'm feeling a bit nervous," Callum admitted quietly. Z (83) 55 vouchers Emily rolled her eyes. "Seriously, with Stella and Mr. Gray here, what are you even nervous about?" Callum fell silent.

'Is it weird that I've got a bad feeling about this?' he wondered. Just as they were talking, a group of people in law enforcement uniforms barged in, looking anything but polite. They were chattering away in Tongalian, heading straight for Stella and the others. The atmosphere instantly turned tense. "Ms. Carter," the leader said, his tone brash. "Someone has reported you and Callum for forging medical licenses. Please come with us." The crowd instantly exploded. Callum fell silent. 'Damn, this cursed sixth sense,' he thought. [What's going on?] [What happened?

Where's my translator?] [Let me translate it.] [Damn. They're up to their old tricks again. This is definitely Tongalia pulling some shady moves.] [I knew it. No way they're actually qualified, one's still a student and the other's a superstar actor. Like they'd really have medical licenses.] Stella arched an eyebrow, turning her head toward Quinto and the Herbal Medicine Guild crowd. They were all smirking, their faces full of taunting provocation. 'Seriously, do they actually think that'll work?' Stella mused with a hint of sarcasm.

The leader shot a glance at his team, and the Tongalian law enforcement officers stepped forward. Maybe because the whole world was watching, for once, they played it straight and didn't pull any of their usual dirty tricks. Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Stella calmly placed a hand on Sebastian's arm, stopping him from calling for Callum's crew. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Cain, who had just led his people in. The Tongalian law enforcement officer, spotting Cain, practically strutted over like he was about to brag, "Mr.

10:44 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 404 Woodruff, today we-" : 83 55 vouchers But the very next second, Cain, looking every bit the celestial figure, strode straight toward Stella, flanked by a group of heavyweights from the Dorestan Medical Alliance. The Tongalian law enforcement officers stuck to them like glue. "We received a report today that someone forged the Dorestan Medical Alliance's seal and medical licenses. We will-" "Ms. Carter!" Cain called out, bowing to Stella with deep respect right in front of the whole crowd.

And right behind him, all those legendary big shots from the Dorestan Medical Alliance, people one'd think were untouchable, like myths come to life, bowed to Stella in perfect unison. Everyone fell into silence. Not a single sound in the restroom. "Cedar, go ahead and tell them, are my medical credentials fake?" Stella said lazily, not even bothering to sound serious. Cain gave a cold chuckle. "You and Callum's medical licenses were specially authorized by the Dorestan Medical Alliance. Who'd dare say they're fake?" The Tongalian law enforcement officers were stunned into silence.

Cold sweat drenched their backs. 'Specially authorized?' They were completely floored. [Wait, did I just see that? The head of the Dorestan Medical Alliance is showing mad respect to our girl Stella?] [Am I seeing things, too?] [Specially authorized? Even Callum got a special pass?] [Hold up, is Tongalia just making up excuses to keep Stella from taking the spotlight?] [Taking the spotlight for what exactly?] [Isn't this just like those face-slapping dramas? Didn't Stella say she was gonna give the Herbal Medicine Guild a big surprise?

[Is she about to get up there, work her acupuncture magic, and have Alessio totally cured in a flash?] [Speechless...] Stella glanced past Cedar's shoulder, meeting Quinto's gaze across the room. She said casually, "Go bring Alessio up here." Soon enough, Alessio was brought up front. After all the chaos last night, his condition had reverted, but he actually looked surprisingly healthy, with rosy cheeks and full of energy. The viewers watching the live stream suddenly realized just how powerful Trent Pharmaceuticals's Life- 10:44 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 404 Saving Pill really was.

"Paul, if you would," Stella said, her voice calm but commanding. For a full three seconds, the air was frozen in stunned silence. ༠ 83 55 vouchers Quinto's face went stiff, utterly dumbfounded. 'What?' Quinto's mind was reeling. 'Penn? Weren't his hands destroyed? How is this even possible? Seriously?' Carmelo, who'd been secretly hoping Paul might forgive him someday, suddenly went pale as a ghost. "No, this can't be." He thought, 'I was the one who wrecked his hands. I cut those tendons with my own hands.' Everyone instinctively turned to Paul.

Just yesterday, he'd looked so weak and frail, even coughing up blood after Carmelo's provocation. But now, he walked with steady steps, his back straight and proud, carrying himself with a natural air of authority. His hair and beard were pure white, and the lines on his face spoke of years of hardship and strength. He looked every bit the legendary master, commanding respect with just his presence. [Oh my god. The moment Stella called out 'Master Paul,' my scalp exploded.] [Me too.] [I totally get it now.

Stella was teasing us on purpose last night, just to set up this epic moment and serve Tongalia a brutal face-slap.] [I'm literally crying right now. Paul's hands are good. Penn School lives on. Carmelo is so done for.] Paul lifted his hand with unwavering composure. Four hair-thin silver needles quivered lightly, and before anyone could react, he had already driven them straight into the crown of Alessio's skull. [Synergy Needles!] This was the legendary final move of Penn's Acupuncture. "You-" Quinto's mind went totally blank.

In a flash, he swung his hand and smacked Carmelo across the face with a loud crack. Carmelo dropped to the floor, legs giving out beneath him, completely drained of strength. He could only stare at Stella, stunned and hollow-eyed, as if his whole world had just collapsed. Stella looked back at him with a calm, faint smile. She parted her lips and, without making a sound, mouthed four words: [Penn School Lives On.] There came a boom in his brain. A crack of thunder split the sky.
