To Civilization He Goes Chapter 29
Anyone who knew about the Fangs would be alarmed at the very mention of their name.Wendy's reaction was especially noticeable. With a look of fear and awe, she secretly observed Benedict as if she were studying a mythical creature. Even her heart was pounding wildly."The Fangs surpass even the Seabound and Lakeshore Trade Associations! How did you manage to hire someone from the Fangs, Mr. Thomas?" Wendy asked with a look of respect."Hah! The Seabound and Lakeshore Trade Associations are nothing!"Alas, Benedict scoffed at the comparison Wendy made. He let out a scornful chuckle, as though comparing the two with the Fangs was a great dishonor to him."We, the Fangs, are the real giants here. We even have our headquarters in Summiton! All of these weaklings at Ashford are nothing compared to us!"However, both Wendy and Thomas didn't feel insulted by Benedict's remarks. On the contrary, they agreed with him."The Fangs recently opened a subdivision here in Ashford, and Benedic

"If you're going to be her bodyguard, what am I going to be, then?" Elijah spoke up in disgruntlement."You?" Benedict gave Elijah a quick once-over before lifting his chin and continuing, "You can get along with whatever you're supposed to be doing. Now that we, the Fangs, have taken over the duty of protecting Ms. Lynette, you're no longer needed here."He gave the order without any regard for Elijah at all."Lyn still needs a doctor," Thomas said coolly. "You can remain by her side as her doctor. You simply needn't worry about looking out for her safety."Although Elijah had saved Lynette a few times, Thomas couldn't fully trust a random stranger from the countryside whose background he knew nothing about."Sure," Elijah responded with a nod. He couldn't be bothered to care too much anyway.Once Benedict heard that Elijah was still going to stick around, his eyes flickered with displeasure. He was just about to make a comment when a security guard came running over from the

Under the blazing sun, a young man sat on the curb. His name was Elijah Ludwig.His dashing good looks and flawless skin stood out in stark contrast with his attire—a wide-brimmed straw hat, shabby clothes, and a pair of worn boots.He was flipping through a stack of marriage agreements that looked faded with age, and the grumbles that escaped him made the surrounding passersby cast strange glances his way."What's wrong with that old fogey anyway? Why did he hand me nine marriage agreements upon my return to civilization? Does he expect me to marry nine wives?"Jasperia… Surrence… the Southeastern Military Command region… and even Summiton as well? These places are all over the country! I only have a few bucks on me. I can't possibly travel to all these cities on foot!"Elijah stared up at the sky and sighed, continuing, "How long will it take me to break off all these marriage agreements? Should I borrow some money from my nearest fiancée to cover the travel expenses first? The

Elijah shoved the bespectacled man aside before glancing at Lynette. His jaw dropped at her beauty, and he thought to himself that he would never break off his marriage agreement if he had a fiancée as breathtaking as she was."What are you doing?" snapped the man in anger. He was just about to seize his chance to be a hero, only to have a country bumpkin yank him to the side.With just a cursory look, Elijah figured out Lynette's condition, but he rambled a bunch of nonsense anyway, saying, "Relax. I spent 18 years studying medicine at Mount Quarra. I've got plenty of experience tending to cows, dogs, pigs, chickens, and other livestock. I'm a medical expert!""Hold it!" Wendy screeched.She glared at Elijah in fury as she reached out to grab his hands. She had recognized him as the guy who had been running his mouth off earlier. Cows? Dogs? Pigs? What was he? A vet?Wendy felt the vein in her forehead popping like mad. Lynette was no ordinary person! Even the top medical experts

While the young men watched on jealously, Elijah headed in. Paul Fuller, the butler, had gone ahead to inform the Ludwigs of Elijah's arrival.Standing in the courtyard, Elijah shook his head and remarked, "It's been so many years since I left this place. I can't believe even Ciara has made her name as a genius doctor."When they were children, Ciara had been a menace and often bullied Elijah.When Paul failed to return for him even after quite some time had passed, Elijah decided to take a look around. All of a sudden, he felt a painful twist in his abdomen and hastily searched for a bathroom. Upon entering one of the rooms, he looked around and confirmed there was no one inside before dashing toward the bathroom.But the moment he yanked open the door, he froze.His eyes met with another pair—they belonged to a woman.She looked to be in her early 30s, and it seemed like she had just stepped out of the shower. Droplets of water clung to her skin, and she was only wearing a

Carl and Ciara were stunned, especially Ciara, whose icy demeanor obviously slipped.However, Carl quickly regained his composure and let out a scoff. Elijah's words irritated him, and his eyes flashed darkly. Nevertheless, he merely picked up his cup of coffee and blew on it before remarking, "It doesn't matter whether you're breaking off the marriage agreement or rejecting it. All I hope is that you understand the situation."That being said, I am not a cold-hearted man with no regard for family. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to seek me out.""That won't be needed." Elijah shook his head and said, "I have to head off to the next family now. I'm glad we're both on the same page about this."Carl merely chuckled in response.Seeing that Elijah was about to leave, Ciara frowned and called out, "Dad, I heard that it was Mom and Grandpa who agreed to the marriage. Won't they be displeased that we called off the marriage agreement just like that?"Scoffing once more,

Dumbstruck, everyone stared at the nylon string on the table."How impudent!" Carl snapped as he stared after Elijah's retreating figure. "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Even if you did get a fake, it's not your fault. The fact that he tore the painting apart just like that proves that he's the one who doesn't know how to act with propriety!"He proceeded to console Jared by saying, "Plus, looking at the painting now, it's evidently the work of a master forger. It's completely normal for you to have failed to notice it was a fake. You don't need to feel bad about it, Jared."Looking utterly red in the face, Jared jumped up from his seat and declared, "Mr. Ludwig, I'll pay top dollar to get a real one for Ciara right away!""Jared, desperate times call for desperate measures," Carl said earnestly. "The Greers are moving aggressively against us. We can't delay any longer. You and Ciara should get married as quickly as possible!"I think you two should get married within the next

"Hang on," Elijah called out. "When did I agree to treat anyone?""It makes sense that you're backing out now. Your trickery would be exposed in front of a real expert," a curt voice rang out as a young man in glasses came down from the second floor.Both Thomas and Wendy greeted him respectfully, "Dr. Larson."Even Lynette showed a look of respect when the young man appeared. Clearly, he was held in high esteem by the Grays."My name is Zachary Larson. I'm the seventh-generation successor and future heir of the Larson family. Here in Ashford, my family is renowned for having dabbled in medicine for generations. "I'm also the vice chairman of the Ashford branch of the Traditional Medicine Association, and I'm a ninth-tier practitioner of acupuncture."Slowly approaching with a faint smile, Zachary gave Elijah a cursory glance. When he spotted the straw hat and shabby clothing, his expression flashed with silent mockery.Looking away, he continued, "As they say, Mr. Thomas, ther

In response to Carl's eager question, Jared nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Ludwig! My family staked all of our assets to get the project. In a few days, let's bring this matter to Simon and have a discussion with him."Carl's eyes lit up."I knew you were the person we could count on to go up against the Greers, Jared!" he said emphatically as he grasped Jared's hand.…Standing at an intersection in Ashford, Elijah looked a little lost. Although he lived with the Ludwigs as a child, he didn't have much of a relationship with them.He had never met his father before, and even his mother died from illness when he was very young. The only person he could consider family was his mentor, Alaric.Elijah unfurled his fist to reveal a worn emblem on his palm. Half of it had been burned off. This was the only keepsake he had left of his father."To think I would be kicked out of the family after returning from Mount Quarra," Elijah remarked with a laugh. He didn't think too much

"That's enough," Carl snapped exasperatedly. "Stop trying to put on airs by holding out on us. This matter is settled. I'll even give you something else."He held up a finger and said, "I'll allow you to choose a position in any of the companies owned by me or the Ludwig family. That should be worthwhile for you, right?"His expression was stern as he continued in a threatening tone, "Don't think you can do whatever you want and cross the line just because you have something you can use against us. You got that?""Don't be too greedy!" Melody snapped resentfully, her tone mocking as well. "Not only is Uncle Carl offering to restore you to the family, but he'll even give you a job and help you find someone to marry. Don't tell me you want more. What else do you want? Money?"Hamish buffed up his chest and declared, "You're just an outsider. The family is already being very kind by doing this much for you. You should count your blessings! Who knows what you can make of yourself witho

In fact, the Ludwigs believed they could now rank even higher than the Grays! After all, even the Grays lost to the Greers, so it meant they were weaker than the current Ludwigs."Didn't you hear what I said, Elijah?" Edgar urged impatiently in a standoffish tone that made him sound like he was doing Elijah a service."That's right! Since the family has decided to acknowledge you, you should appreciate the gesture and do as you're told!" Melody snapped in displeasure, her brows creased. "Don't tell me you intend to put on airs now. You should be grateful that you're not totally useless to the family.""Exactly!" Hamish added in contempt. "Who knows how you got lucky that you managed to prove yourself useful today? You should be thanking your lucky stars for that!"The Ludwigs' impatient prompting made it seem like they were bestowing Elijah a great honor by allowing him to rank himself as one of the Ludwigs because he proved to be somewhat useful to them.Even Ciara was eyeing Eli

Zachary and the Ludwigs were all shocked beyond words. The concoction Elijah came up with clearly looked like a nourishing formula. Could it really be poisonous?This situation was utterly challenging everything they knew about medicine."I need to be quick. I'll use the torch emetic!" Michael yelled as his face turned an even brighter shade of red. After consuming the black liquid, an antidote that could induce vomiting, he immediately started throwing up.It looked like he had expelled all the contents in his body, but it didn't seem to help. He crumpled to the ground once more. All of his limbs were convulsing. It felt like he had been set on fire on the inside.Using whatever strength he could muster, he said, "The heavenly cure, then!""The divine elixir!""The purification soup!"On and on it went, so much so that Michael was starting to feel numb. He didn't even know what the source of the poison was. He started ruminating over the taste of what he had consumed and couldn

Michael wondered if Elijah was really some kind of genius.Meanwhile, after hearing what Zachary said, the other Ludwigs felt as if they had been slapped in the face.Did Zachary just claim that Elijah, the person they kicked out of the family, was more medically skilled than he was? He had to have lost his mind!The Ludwigs were filled with disbelief.Ciara lifted her head. Her eyes flashed with surprise as well. She started scrutinizing the ex-fiancé she had scorned as if to reacquaint herself with him.Alas, the situation was now beyond their control."So be it," Michael replied in amusement. "Who am I to refuse you if you wish to hand the Larson family over to me on a silver platter?""Let's keep things simple," Elijah said. He selected a few medicinal ingredients and tossed them into a bowl together. In just less than ten seconds, he prepared a concoction and handed it over to Michael."Here you go. Drink up," he said nonchalantly.Michael eyed the bowl in suspicion. It c

"Do you think you're qualified to challenge me?" Michael eyed Elijah and sneered. "Who do you think you are when even your family's genius doctor… I mean, my maid, has lost to me? Are you claiming that you're even better than Ciara?"Michael's expression was taunting, but he was a bit taken aback that Elijah managed to save Jared by kicking him and stuffing some medicinal ingredients into his mouth.Ciara turned red and lowered her head in humiliation."This is no place for you to run your mouth, Elijah! Get lost! Stop embarrassing the family!" Hamish Ludwig came forward and yelled at Elijah."Do you actually think you're even more skilled than Ciara? You're just a clown! What makes you think you can come forward now? You have no self-awareness at all!"All of the Ludwigs started ranting at Elijah. They had lost the competition. Even Zachary had lost. And yet, Elijah chose to jump forward right at this moment. What else could it be for other than to humiliate the family even furth

"Mr. Greer, this man is not related to our family in any way!" one of the Ludwigs shouted.With his hands behind his back, Michael walked up to Elijah and peered at him haughtily. "Were you the one who spoke just now? What did you say? Dare to repeat yourself?"All of the Ludwigs eyed Elijah in pity. He might've had his fun running his mouth earlier, but he was done for now. They thought they were about to witness Elijah begging like a dog—but they were wrong.Elijah scratched his ear while asking, "Are you deaf? I said you guys acted like a bunch of kids throwing tantrums. How pointless."Michael's expression darkened, and all of the Ludwigs were shocked.Elijah must have lost his mind. How could he dare to say such a thing in front of Michael? Just how bold was he?Melody shook her head and commented icily, "He's just pretending to be tough. I bet he's quaking with fear on the inside. Guys like him seem brave on the surface, but in reality, they're just clowns without any sense
