“What about your injuries?”“They’re from the Alton family in River City. They found a new backing recently and they want to control River City. Hence, my family was naturally their primary target.”“Control River City? How dare this family says something as preposterous as that. Won’t Cade stop them?” David asked with some doubt.“If it’s just the Alton family, Mr. Nelson could naturally deter them, but the backer the Alton family has found this time is very strong, so even Mr. Nelson does not dare to offend them,” Charles said helplessly.“Cade doesn't dare to offend them? Are they from a hidden family?” David asked.“Yes, they are the Nichols family, and they are terrifyingly strong. Now almost all the families in River City dare not speak out against them.”“How terrifying are they?” David asked curiously.“It’s said that the Nichols family has a few very strong peak Dragon Rankers, and there are more than one of them,” Charles said bitterly.A peak Dragon Ranker!His gran
“Dave, actually, you don't need to do this. Although the Nichols family is powerful, we’re in Somerland’s territory after all and they don't dare to go too far. Worse comes to worst, the Luther family will give up most of our benefits. It’ll be fine if we just keep our foundation,” Charles said.When he heard Charles say that, David knew he had misunderstood.“Charles, you should have told me earlier. You are my friend and Old Master Luther was also kind to me, so I will definitely help you in this!” David said seriously.“Dave, you…”“Charles, don't worry. From now on, I, David Lidell, will protect the Luther family. No matter in River City or South River Province, or even in the whole of Somerland, no one will dare to touch you. The Nichols family is nothing in my eyes. I can wipe them out with a wave of my hand.”After David finished speaking, he was afraid that Charles would not believe him.He showed Charles a little of his strength and immediately, David became very dominee
“I won’t know until I see him, but I am at least 80% sure,” David said confidently.Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine was no joke.This was a skill that took him 3000 lavish points to learn.He could even save Mason, an old man whose organs had failed and was already on the brink of death, let alone Old Master Luther.He was only seventy or eighty years old, so it was not his time yet.His current situation should be caused by his old injury from back then.As long as he healed Old Master Luther’s internal injuries from the past, there should be no problem.However, David still needed to take a look at him as quickly as possible because he could not bring the dead back to life.“David, let's go. I'll take you to see my grandpa,” Sandy urged.Upon hearing this, Charles quickly got up from the hospital bed and said, “I'm going too! I'm going too!”“Charles, you should rest. Sandy can bring me.” David stopped him.“Yeah, Charlie, you should rest first. I'll bring David,” S
The three of them went to the intensive care unit where Old Master Luther was.Through the window, Sandy saw Old Master Luther with an oxygen mask attached to his face. Then, tears started to fill her eyes again.She had been living with her grandfather and brother since she was young. So, these two people were the closest to her.She must feel horrible now seeing her grandfather in this state.David quickly comforted her, “Sandy, don’t worry. I’ll save your grandpa.”He could not stand this little girl crying.“Okay, thank you, David.” Sandy looked at David and said with her eyes filled with emotions.David shifted his gaze away from Sandy, feeling a headache coming.He wondered kf this little girl fall even harder for him after he saved Old Master Luther and the Luther family.‘It’s very possible, but I can’t just stand idly by in this situation.‘What should I do?’David felt troubled.Very troubled!Right now, he felt that it was not good for someone to be too excellen
“The director of River City Hospital.” “D- Dr. Lake???” The young nurse gasped in astonishment before shouting in alarm.At that moment, Charles’ call got picked up too. “Tom! Come over to where my grandfather is.”Charles hung up the minute he finished speaking. “Y- you really know Dr. Lake?” The young nurse asked nervously. “Of course! Why would we lie to you about this?” David said. “Um… well, I’m so sorry. I did not speak politely just now, but… but the intensive care unit truly isn’t someplace where people can come and go as they please,” the young nurse stammered nervously. She was at a loss as to what she should do. If she let them in and anything were to happen to the patient, there was no way she would ever become a licensed nurse, and she would get fired. However, if she did not let them in and ended up offending Dr. Lake, the outcome would be the same. What should she do?‘Am I destined not to have this job that I love?’This was already the third hospi
David entered the intensive care unit and gazed at Old Master Luther, who lay in bed with an oxygen mask over his face. Placing his hand over Old Master Luther’s hand, he began practicing the art of Somerland Ancient Traditional Medicine and made some careful observations. He soon managed to find out the cause of Old Master Luther’s illness. It was pretty much as he had guessed.It was from a wound he had received many years prior, and problems were starting to arise now as he grew older. When he was young, he had been able to suppress it, but now that he had grown older, it was becoming difficult to keep it under control. However, not all was lost as Old Master Luther was not too old. By now, most humans had an average lifespan of between eighty to ninety years, and powerful people like Mason who frequently took care of their health using magnetic fields were able to live up to a hundred and thirty years old.David formed a plan in mind after making a diagnosis. Thankf
All he had to do was collect the herbs. River City Hospital would not be held responsible for anything, regardless of whether Old Master Luther’s life ended up being saved! “Sure! Thank you for doing this, Tom! But you’ll need to be quick! The Luther family will be indebted to you if we manage to get through these tough times,” Charles said as he handed the list to Tom. “Thank you, Mr. Luther! I’ll get started straight away! Please wait for a moment!” Once Tom finished speaking, he hurried off with the list. He felt as if he had found a new purpose in life upon hearing what Charles said. Tom had just passed his 50th birthday, and he had been the director of River City Hospital for over ten years.Initially, there had been a chance for him to climb the ranks. However, due to his humble origins and family background, he ended up being replaced by someone less-qualified than himself. If the Luther family helped him, he would be able to once again climb up the ranks.He had n
One hour later… David felt that enough time had passed. Thus, he pushed the door open and walked in while the Luther siblings hurried in after him.Old Master Luther opened his eyes when he heard the door opening. His complexion was visibly different from before. As David removed the silver needles from Old Master Luther’s body, he asked, “Old Master Luther! How do you feel?” “Much better! Thank you, David!” Old Master Luther said. Although he had just regained his consciousness, he could tell that David had saved him. He had not expected the gamble he made several months ago to be right. Moreover, it had paid itself off so quickly. A wave of emotions washed over Old Master Luther. “No need for any formalities, Old Master Luther! It’s all part of my responsibility!” When David finished speaking, he turned to Charles and Sandy as he said, “Old Master Luther is still weak, so you should hurry and say whatever you have to say now! Let him rest as much as possible and
