"Do you know each other?" Otto frowned, thinking, "Even Mr. Sparks from Herbal Essences recognized him. Could he be a highly skilled doctor?""Not only do I know him, but we're even very familiar with each other!" Tomas hissed through gritted teeth, glaring at Woody.Initially, Tomas was certain that Woody and Penny were going to die. Later, he received news that Penny had managed to get Woody to the hospital. While Penny was fine, Woody had been poisoned. Although both of them couldn't be killed at the same time, Tomas was still delighted.Once Woody died, he could shamelessly deny everything that happened in the morning.But soon, he received another update—Woody had woken up and was even discharged from the hospital. Tomas couldn't accept this. Could Woody have neutralized the venom from the little green snake?Just as he was stewing over his frustration and plotting his next move, his grandfather called. He told Tomas that Rudolf was unconscious from being severely ill and
"Brat, don't say I didn't give you a chance. I'm going to let you check on Mr. Schubert Senior first. Supporting the younger generation is my usual practice."Norbert appeared generous, but he was incredibly cunning.If he checked on Rudolf first and provided a diagnosis, it was as good as giving Woody the chance to copy his answer. Therefore, he had to let Woody go first.Woody accepted the offer. After giving Penny a nod and an assuring smile, he stepped forward.Reaching out, he checked Rudolf's pulse and noticed that his limbs were cold, but there was heat hidden in his internal organs. It was as though there was a ball of fire burning in his abdomen. After understanding Rudolf's condition, Woody removed his hand. "That's it? Is he joking? Since noon, dozens of doctors have checked Rudolf's pulse, with the longest taking over ten minutes. Even the quickest needed more than three minutes. This kid didn't even take three seconds. He must've given up."Everyone regarded Woody
"Of course!" Norbert glared at Woody. "Do you think that my diagnosis earlier is nonsense? Kid, you're nowhere near my level in medical skills. Just watch and learn. After Mr. Schubert Senior takes my prescription and wakes up, I'd like to see what you have to say then."Tomas echoed along in contempt, "I think this kid is afraid of that outcome. It will prove that he's useless, so he's deliberately causing trouble."Immediately, a member of the Schubert family shouted, "We can't let such a despicable man leave so easily. Once Dr. Clarkson is proven right later, we'll teach him a lesson and clear Dr. Clarkson's name."Otto nodded. "You're right. We'll do just that!"Unfazed by their threats, Woody said to Norbert, "Are you sure that Mr. Schubert Senior's condition is just a cold? Let me ask you, then. Why are his internal organs experiencing higher heat? How do you explain that?"All doctors were benevolent. Although Woody wanted to defeat Norbert, he didn't want to watch from the
The truth was that these people were vicious! It was common for them to abuse their power and even kill behind closed doors. If it weren't for Rudolf to keep them in check as their leader, they would've gotten even more out of control. Now that nobody knew whether Rudolf was alive or dead, these arrogant men couldn't be contained by anyone at all. Penny had decided that she would make sure Woody left Schubert Manor safely, even if it might cost her life. If not, how could she face Miranda and Mr. Snider, whom she had never met before? Moments later, a staff from Herbal Essences brought a stainless steel thermos to the Schubert family. Otto poured out the liquid medicine and forced it into Rudolf's mouth. "Let's see what that brat has to say now!" Norbert thought, gloating.Curing Rudolf on his first day in Andorry would solidify his status in Herbal Essences. It would impress powerful figures like Tomas as well. As the medicine entered Rudolf's system, his pale face inst
Norbert was left in shock, his face smeared with sticky black blood. He quickly grabbed a pack of tissues and began to wipe it off. The foul smell was so unbearable that he retched. It was just as disgusting as what he experienced in the morning. The members of the Schubert family were dumbfounded. Rudolf had seemed fine just a moment ago. He looked like he was about to regain consciousness anytime soon. Why was he suddenly coughing up blood? "Dr. Clarkson, what's going on?" Otto asked with a bewildered look. As Norbert wiped his face, he said with confusion, "Logically speaking, this shouldn't be happening! I followed Mr. Yost's prescription strictly. How could this be? Could there have been a mistake when preparing the medicine?" Tomas immediately retorted, "That's impossible! Who would dare to be careless when they executed my order? "After the store manager got the prescription, he and the most experienced staff prepared the medicine together. There's no way they coul
"You're saying that it's my fault then?" There was a murderous glint in Woody's eyes. It was Norbert's incompetence and reckless treatment that had worsened Rudolf's condition. It brought Rudolf to the brink of death. Not only did Norbert refuse to admit it, but he stopped Woody from treating Rudolf. And now, he even tried to shift the blame! What a quack! "Of course it's your fault. It's all your fault! If anything happens to Mr. Schubert Senior, you'll be fully responsible for it!" Otto yelled. Norbert was just worrying about how he should explain things to the Schubert family. As an excuse, he said, "The medicine can only help the living." But it was clearly not enough. Even ordinary people would not be fooled, let alone the Schubert family, who had been in the medical business for many years. It would not be easy to deceive them at all. Now that Woody was volunteering to treat Rudolf, of course, Norbert wouldn't let go of his chance to shift the blame to Woody."Not
"You rather watch your own father die from poison than let someone capable save him. You're such a good son." Woody retorted. Even if Otto was Penny's father, Woody wouldn't tolerate him bossing himself around. Woody had accepted Penny as his junior, but that didn't mean he would let Otto and the others do whatever they wanted. Besides, he wasn't close with them. Otto was infuriated. "You bastard, don't you dare think that you can act arrogantly in our house just because you've learned a few tricks! With just one word from me, you won't have a chance to leave this place alive." Standing at the side, Tomas tried to fan the flames and said, "Mr. Schubert, I'm sure that this brat doesn't have good intentions. Just throw him out now!" "I'd like to see who dares to do that!" Penny said, shielding Woody. With her eyes widened, she yelled, "Woody is the only one who could save Grandpa now. Whoever dares to make things difficult for him would be the one causing Grandpa's death! You
Norbert, who had been playing dead while sprawled on the ground not far away, suddenly sniffed. That was such a familiar scent! He immediately raised his head and stretched his neck to look over. With Penny's help, Woody poured a glass of liquid into Rudolf's mouth. "You brat, are you sure this would work?" Otto questioned, his tone stern. Woody didn't even bother to look at him. He mocked, "It's good to have a pair of eyes, but don't forget to use them." He was clearly implying that Otto and the rest were too blind to see the truth. Could they not see for themselves whether the medicine would work? "You arrogant brat, I'll kill you!" Otto couldn't stand being insulted by Woody. He was about to lash out. Right then, a weak voice could be heard. "What… happened to me?" "Grandpa is awake!" Penny yelled in excitement. Everyone was shocked. Woody really did manage to save Rudolf! How could it work so quickly? It hadn't even been three minutes since Woody had fed Rudol
Solomon didn't dare to resist and could only comply.By the time everyone arrived at the back of the mountain, the sky was already starting to lighten.Directly ahead lied a deep canyon with steep cliffs.Woody tied one end of the rope to the bridge pillar, slung the coil of rope over his shoulder, and nodded to the people around him."Is there something wrong?" Woody asked the battered elder.The elder quickly responded, "No problem!"Woody pushed off with one foot, launching himself into the air toward the other side of the cliff.While Woody was halfway through the flight, his body began to plummet downward.From this angle, he didn't stand a chance of making it across.At that moment, a giant eagle swooped in from the side.The elder stood at the edge of the cliff and blew the eagle whistle.The giant eagle spread its wings, and with Woody stepping onto its back, they instantly shifted from falling to ascending.In the next moment, he landed steadily at the edge of the
Woody's bold statements echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Union Headquarters.In the past, if anyone dared to speak to their union president like that, Solomon wouldn't even need to say anything–the followers alone would leave the person questioning their life choices!In front of the Headquarters, how could he be allowed to speak recklessly?The current situation was that Woody not only said something, but also tore down their gate and injured dozens of their people.Of course, this number wasn't set in stone.If anyone else dared to step up, Woody certainly wouldn't hold back and was more than willing to help the Martial Arts Union continue increasing the number of casualties."You... have quite the attitude!"Solomon, being the union president of the alliance, held a certain standing and position, so it was unlikely for him to just back down easily.In reality, he had been feeling extremely anxious for quite some time.The eight seasoned elders teamed up and still c
He didn't want anyone to mention it, especially in public."Where are the eight elders?" Solomon's eyes were filled with rage as he shouted loudly."Here!" The eight elders spoke in unison, giving their response."That person destroyed our place and harmed our followers; he should be struck down on the spot to serve as a warning to others," Solomon said through gritted teeth.The eight elders responded in unison, "Yes, sir!""Attack!"The eight of them were all masters of martial arts who had reached the Peak level.They had impressive performance!At the headquarters, in terms of both status and strength, they were second only to Solomon.Even the legendary Martial God wouldn't stand a chance against the combined strength of these eight individuals.They coordinated seamlessly, surrounding Woody and launching a flurry of fierce attacks from all directions.If it were someone else, they would have been torn apart by them.Woody remained calm, letting his mind wander for a m
In the darkness, countless shadows darted back and forth.When they clearly saw that the gateway, which symbolized the Martial Arts Union, had been destroyed and was now nothing more than a pile of rubble, they were immediately filled with rage."Who dared to be so bold and fearless!""How dare you tear down the Martial Arts Union's gate? You're asking for trouble.""Whoever it is, they're definitely not a good person. Let's deal with them thoroughly first and ask questions later!"A crowd filled with anger saw what appeared to be a figure standing in front of the ruins."Hey kid, did you see who did it?"A sharp-eyed person noticed that the figure was a young man and immediately started questioning him."I'm warning you, this situation is serious. You need to tell everything you've seen, or else you'll face the consequences."Woody stood calmly and said, "I saw it.""Come on, who is it?" a group of people demanded in unison.Woody said calmly, "That's me!""What?!"The gr
Rudolf immediately became anxious. He shielded his granddaughter, Penny, while loudly rebuking, "Mr. Edwards, is this really how your Martial Arts Union treats guests? If word gets out, we won't be afraid of becoming the laughingstock of our peers in the martial arts community!"Solomon was completely unfazed. "You think you're worthy of being called guests?"Faced with a large group of people who were eyeing them aggressively, the three of them were no match at all.It was quickly dealt with!"Solomon, aren't you worried that Mr. Snider's disciple, Woody, will come looking for trouble if you do this?" Rudolf shouted loudly while struggling.Solomon couldn’t care less. “If he dares to come, I will make sure he gets a taste of being a prisoner! The person you were taught by is no good, so it's likely you won't be any better. It's fitting that you pay off your teacher's debt. Let both the old man and you face the consequences together!"What's all the fuss about Woody? He's just a
Solomon was using very offensive language.Miranda had a cold look on her face, but since she was on someone else's turf, she couldn't act out.Jaycee was actually Solomon's sister, and there was an age difference of over twenty years between them.After Jaycee was born, her parents passed away due to illness. Before their death, they entrusted her, still an infant, to the care of Solomon.Solomon had a hard time raising his younger sister by himself. Now, as he watched her grow into a beautiful and talented young woman, she was becoming increasingly admired by people in the martial arts community.There were so many people trying to arrange marriages with the Edwards family that they practically wore down the doorstep from their frequent visits.Solomon was overwhelmed with options, dreaming of his sister marrying into a wealthy family and securing a beautiful marriage.Dreams shattered!Jaycee, who was as fresh and naive, ended up being paired with someone considered old and
To be honest, Woody was quite intrigued.Every time he got into a scuffle with the underlings, he couldn't help but deeply miss Alexia.The esteemed Princess of the Epochal Realm was clearly being used by him as a henchman.The key point is that Alexia wasn't upset at all; instead, she was quite happy to help."No way."Reason overcame impulse, and Woody frowned as he said, "You have to stay at home. Only then can I be at ease."Alexia's expression fell. "Alright then!"Woody laughed and said, "You're being so obedient, I must reward you for that.""What kind of reward?" Her ears perked up with excitement, and her eyes were sparkling.Woody pulled a serpent's core of his pocket and said, "I promised you a gift earlier, and now I'm making good on that promise."Alexia's eyes lit up with excitement again. "The serpent's inner core!"In the past, she would not have paid any attention to the inner core of this quality.Every extra look is an insult to the title "Princess of the
Edwin was, of course, unconvinced! As the teacher, he had failed, but the student had succeeded on the first try. If it wasn't sheer luck, then what was it? Woody didn't respond and picked up a second heavenly crystal. Moments later, he succeeded again! Edwin's eyes widened in amazement, as though he witnessed something truly extraordinary. Meanwhile, the admiration on Alexia's face skyrocketed. "Try it again!" Edwin was still unwilling to accept it. This time, Woody didn't humor him and directly put away the remaining heavenly crystals. "What's the meaning of this?" Edwin widened his eyes. Woody stood up to leave and without looking back, he said, "Thanks!""Wait, are you sure you've fully mastered it?"Edwin hurried after him and said, "What if something goes wrong? I can help you figure it out!""No need. If my master believes he's fine, then he's definitely going to be fine," Alexia said, blocking the old man and speaking with solemn assurance. At that moment, Edwin's
Edwin stiffened his neck, trying to maintain a normal expression to cover up his embarrassment as his earlier demonstration had ended in failure. Although he knew the method, his lack of practice over the years had led to a mistake, which was understandable.""Ha..." Alexia let out a big yawn, her eyelids feeling as though they were weighed down by a thousand pounds; she was getting sleepy!Edwin's lengthy lecture had successfully bored her into a drowsy state. As for the later parts of the lesson, it didn't register in her mind at all; everything he said went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace behind. "Carry on…"Alexia stretched lazily signaling for the two of them to continue without being affected by her. This left Edwin feeling utterly defeated! He felt as though he had been slapped in the face! Putting a student to sleep was already embarrassing enough, but to make matters worse, his demonstration had also failed. "It's fine, let me try." Woody volunteered.
