Luna let out a moan, whether it was due to the cooling effect of the silver needle or the strong sedative kicking in.Her charming body and alluring voice were irresistible.Even Andrius, who had undergone professional training, could not help but tremble when he touched her tender skin. He hissed and forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, muttering for himself to stay cool to prevent himself from making a mistake.Even an old and experienced veteran could not resist such a temptation!“W-Wolf King...”When Andrius gradually regained his composure, Luna suddenly opened her eyes and murmured while looking at him. She had seen the Wolf King up close at Celestial Enterprise.Although he had worn a mask, she remembered his bright eyes clearly.When she saw Andrius’ eyes in her dazed state, she mistook him for the Wolf King and could not help but throw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck.Goddamnit!Andrius felt the weight of two mounds pressing against him,
“What...”Jane was dumbfounded.She hurriedly went forward and asked, “What happened? Wasn’t Luna supposed to learn medicine from Hugo Stark?”Drogo glanced at Jane and said, “You must be Madam Jane Montecarlo of the Conerys, right?”“Yes, I am!” Jane nodded.Drogo continued, “The Wicked Doctor, Hugo Stark, often deceives young women under the guise of teaching them medicine, and has done unspeakable things to them. We’ve been investigating him and finally caught him in the act today.“Fortunately, we arrived just in time, so Ms. Crestfall was not harmed. We currently have him under control and we have closed his clinic, so we are bringing Ms. Crestfall back to you.“However, I can’t guarantee that we’ll always be this timely. Please tell Ms. Crestfall to be more wary and not believe the words of deceitful people.”The words of deceitful people...Jane was stunned.Why did she feel like he was talking about Lester?With that thought, she immediately responded, “I understand,
Lester shrunk and did not dare to speak.“Lester! Crestfall!”Jane was both shocked and furious. Flames seemed to sprout from her eyes.Luna was not just a granddaughter in her eyes. She was the Wolf Queen and the opportunity for the Conerys to rise. However, Lester almost ruined everything.“How could you do such a heinous thing? Guards, lock him up in the memorial hall and make him reflect for a year. He’s not allowed to step out of the hall without my orders!”Being confined to the memorial hall was basically equivalent to being expelled from the core of the Conerys.“Mom...”Dwight intentionally kicked Lester in front of everyone so that Jane would make the punishment lighter. When he heard her, his expression immediately changed, and he was just about to step forward to plead for Lester.“Don’t call me Mom!” Jane interrupted him coldly just as he opened his mouth. “Look at the son you raised. What a disgrace to the Conerys!”Immediately, she shot a look at the servants ne
Andrius was not looking down on Luna.He just wondered what kind of merits and abilities she possessed to surpass countless famous doctors and rank second on the popularity chart for the Grand Medicinal Competition.That was absurd.Were the people voting based on attractiveness?Was this a contest of looks?Did the netizens vote for Luna because she had a pretty face?Andrius could not think of any other reason. He looked at Dax and asked, “Is the popularity poll for the Grand Medicinal Competition ranked based on looks?”“Looks?” Dax looked at the ranking list and shook his head while saying honestly, “From what I understand, her votes were solicited.”Vote solicitation...Andrius was at a loss and asked awkwardly, “What’s the difference between that and cheating?”“It’s not considered cheating. According to the rules of the popularity poll, solicitation of votes is allowed. After all, every person has three votes. However...”He looked at Andrius and said meaningfully, “I
“Uncle, you should’ve at least discussed it with me before doing this. Now, so many people online are cursing me...”One definitely needed a strong heart to bear the insults of hundreds of thousands, and even millions of people.Alec thought he was helping Luna with good intentions and spent quite a bit of money to buy all those votes for her, but when she did not appreciate it, he immediately got angry.“Cursing you? Luna, I’m not trying to nag you, but life is like a battlefield, and so is the Grand Medicinal Competition. To win, you must use any means necessary. I went through so much trouble to help you and secured your place in the second round. What’s wrong with getting cursed a little?”Luna was speechless.Getting cursed a little?She was cursed inside and out!It was far from little at all!Only she was able to withstand such immense pressure. If it were someone else, they might have jumped off a building from all the criticism.“Look, Uncle!” Luna’s face was ashen as
The next day, amidst the attention of the masses and their excitement, the Grand Medicinal Competition finally began.The grand hall was a building that cost billions and took Florence’s finest seven years to construct. It was large enough to accommodate over a hundred thousand people. Its overall structure resembled a palace, blending numerous elements of ancient Florence with modern facilities, ensuring an unparalleled experience.This was the venue for the Grand Medicinal Competition.Hanging in the middle of the hall was a large banner with the words ‘Fifth Grand Medicinal Competition’ written in golden font. The words were still clearly visible under the bright sunlight even from tens of thousands of meters above.A couplet was already hung on the magnificent gate.The first half read, ‘To help the world with medicine, to embrace benevolence, and to consolidate our foundation.’The second half read, ‘To save the dying and heal the wounded with miraculous skills, and to use m
“Coming in first in the popularity ranking—the Wolf King!The Wolf King!The entire venue fell silent as soon as those words were spoken.The Wolf King—the backbone of Florence, the uncrowned king of the western border—risked his life, made great contributions, and made the western border of Florence impenetrable. With his own strength, he suppressed other extraordinary figures of his time.He was unparalleled in both medicine and combat, and his skill with his acupuncture technique was unfathomable, inherited from ‘Hades’, Old Hagstorm...He had already left them forever.However, his myth and legendary story was eternal like the sun in the sky and the dazzling stars!The silence of everyone present was the best tribute to the Wolf King.Swoosh.At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the stage, sitting at the spot that belonged to the Wolf King. The person had a medium build, an unremarkable figure, and a delicate wolf mask on his face.It was Andrius!What was going
“This Grand Medicinal Competition is ridiculous!”“Exactly! It’s like wiping *ss with gauze. Your whole hand will be stained!”“It’s absurd!”“Exactly. These guys are the first and second-ranked on the popularity poll? Give me a break! I’d rather go to class or work!”“Sigh...”Hearing those words, Luna’s heart which had calmed down was once again filled with shame. Her delicate brows were furrowed deeply.On the other hand, Andrius was resting with his eyes closed and maintained a calm and indifferent appearance. It was quite admirable.Angus continued to introduce, “Coming in third place of the popularity ranking, Preston Harmon!“Fourth place, Ruben Serrano!“Fifth place...”With each name Angus called out, a doctor walked up on stage, accompanied by cheers and shouts from their fans. The atmosphere gradually returned to normal.“Coming up next...”Once the top hundred in the popularity ranking list had taken the stage, Angus began introducing the top-ranked doctors from
