The Silverwing Hospital.Since it was already night when they got to the hospital, they could only wait for their turn at the emergency department.After lining up for twenty minutes, it was finally their turn, and the first thing the doctor asked was, “Yes? What made you come here?”Kenneth shooed Christopher out of the ward before saying to the doctor, “Doctor, I think I’m impotent all of a sudden. Can you please check what happened to me?”“Impotent?!” The doctor gaped in bewilderment and said, “Impotence is an andrological disorder, it doesn’t fall under emergency cases. I suggest you come again tomorrow morning to the andrology department directly and let the doctor there check it out for you. We at the emergency department mainly cover emergency cases such as headaches, fever, accidental injuries, or spasmodic diseases.”Kenneth growled indignantly, “My impotence is an emergency case! Can’t I see you for treatment right away?!”The doctor cleared his throat and started in a
Sensing the unusual silence and intensity, Kenneth asked, “Doctor, how is it?”The doctor shook his head helplessly and answered, “Mr. Wilson, I’m afraid that we can’t fix your problem. Based on our test and results, it shows that you suffer a disorder that we call penile necrosis, which means the nerves around your penis have suffered irreversible damage. I’m so sorry.”“Could it be that your hospital is not good enough?” Christopher asked.The doctor squinted at him in annoyance and said, “With the current medicine and technology, we can cure the damaged nerves and let it slowly recover, but we can’t do anything about the necrotic nerves. It’s like encountering a car accident. Some people can recover slowly, but some will never stand again.”Then, he turned his glance back toward Kenneth and said in a solemn tone, “In your case, no one in the world can do anything about it. It can’t be cured.”“What?! Argh! How can this be!!!”Kenneth’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He
“Oh? Do you know Doctor Simmons?” The doctor asked curiously.Kenneth laughed delightedly. “Of course, and it’s more than an acquaintance! The famous doctor you mentioned is our family’s friend! Back then, when he was down and out, it was our family that helped him to rise again and achieve what he has now. I didn’t know that he stays in Aurous Hill now, that’s great!”He jumped up from the bed and urged Christopher, “Hurry, get me to Dr. Simmons’s clinic now!”After asking for the address of Anthony’s clinic, Christopher quickly drove Kenneth to Serene World Clinic.As soon as they arrived at the clinic’s entrance, Kenneth hopped off the car and dashed into the clinic anxiously when he saw a man that seemed to be a clinic staff pushing a young man with crutches out of the door.The young man limped miserably while pleading, “Sir, sir, please, I beg you! Please inform Dr. Simmons that I need his help. I’ll give him five million dollars if he can fix my legs!”The clinic staff sai
Penile necrosis?This was an extraordinarily tricky problem!There was no known effective way of treating this problem in both Chinese and Western medicine. If it was truly necrosis, it was essentially untreatable.Anthony hurriedly asked, “How did it happen? What did you do? Penile necrosis is a very rare disorder!”Kenneth didn’t want to talk about his embarrassing incident, so he mumbled, “I don’t know how, but it happened just like that. I went to the Silverwing Hospital to have it checked, and the doctor said that it was necrosis…”Then, he wailed and pleaded, “Uncle Simmons, please help me! Only you can help me now!”Anthony felt that the problem was trickier than he could handle. Even with his medical skills, the most he could do was stabilize the necrosis so that his penis didn’t wither, but it was impossible to cure the necrosis and restore its function…He sighed and said, “Kenneth, necrosis is universally known to be a tricky and difficult problem to solve. It is very
Anthony was extremely dumbfounded upon hearing Xyla’s remark! He asked, “What? Are you saying that Kenneth offended Master Wade?!”“Yes!” Xyla nodded profusely. “Moreover, I heard that it was quite an intense fight. He even flirted with Master Wade’s wife, saying that he would give her 10 million dollars just to spend a night with her!”Anthony’s face turned into a grimacing shade of red. He didn’t expect that Kenneth had offended Master Wade to such an extent! Who did Kenneth think he was anyway!His mind ran wild with angry remarks. ‘Master Wade has helped me with the generosity and kindness that I can never repay. What about you, Kenneth? Yes, your father helped me back in the days, but I have already repaid my debt to the Wilson family for being your family doctor for several decades! Besides, your father has already passed on. I no longer have any obligation toward your family. I can still lend a hand to help you by all means if you had simply injured yourself, but you picked
“Master? True dragon?” Kenneth blurted out in a shocked tone. “Uncle Simmons, is something wrong with your brain? How could you be deceived by that crook? He is not a master or a true dragon, he is just a useless live-in son-in-law... a moocher! The Wilson family that he is married to, they treat me like a king! They even gifted Wendy Wilson to me as my escort and companion. He is just a lowly ant compared to me!”Then, he continued in an indignant voice, “Uncle Simmons, do you honestly think that deadbeat loser is worth it for you to protect him with all costs and even cut ties with our family? Are you going to ignore the years of friendship between our families?”“B*stard!” Anthony’s face twisted into a resentful grimace. He picked up the medicine pestle on the table and slammed it into Kenneth’s head fiercely while cursing, “You and your blasphemous mouth! Get out of here right now!”Kenneth couldn’t manage to avoid him, and the pestle knocked his forehead with a great force, cau
Indeed, Kenneth wanted to kill Charlie right there and then.However, he realized that it was not wise to act impulsively—the mighty dragon was no match for the native serpent.He knew clearly that he was no match to Charlie right now.It seemed that Charlie was quite powerful and strong, meaning that he had to be skilled in martial arts and self-defense. It was very hard to go after a man who was knowledgeable and tenacious. He had to get someone who was on par or more powerful than Charlie to go against him, otherwise, it would all go down the drain!Still, the most important thing right now was to fix his impotence. He would be in living hell otherwise!Kenneth’s wrath toward Anthony started burning again upon this thought!The f*cking old coot! Clearly, he had a pill that could cure him, but he didn’t want to give it to him!In fact, he had even kicked him out of his clinic for that loser, Charlie! D*mn!Meanwhile, Christopher was worrying about Kenneth’s situation. If he
Serene World Clinic.Anthony was still huffing and puffing in annoyance.Two people had come to his clinic tonight asking for treatment, and they both had offended Master Wade!Jason Grant, the guy who had tried to show off before Master Wade at the hospital the other day that led him to an unfortunate ending—Don Albert threw him out of the window on the third floor and broke his leg. He even had the guts to come here to seek treatment!And then, there was Kenneth Wilson!The most hateful and shameless b*stard!He had nearly given that b*stard the magical elixir before learning about his beef with Master Wade!If he had really cured Kenneth, he would be biting the hand that fed him, wouldn’t he?!He turned to Xyla and sighed, “Oh my goodness, Xyla, luckily you got here in time, otherwise, I might have already given Kenneth the magical pill!”Xyla shuddered at the thought. “Grandpa, I heard that Master Wade was the reason why Kenneth is impotent!”“Oh, I see!” Anthony mesmeriz
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
