Chapter 46 The Gunther Family l

Author: Night Eleven
Bryan paused, mindful of the presence of the young man purportedly from the Carver family. He hesitated, unsure if what he was about to say would tarnish the patient's impression of Aria.

However, Aria tilted her chin up, gesturing for him to continue.

And so Bryan said, lowering his voice, "I heard my grandpa say that Ms. Harris was a doctor who became prominent later than the others. The Harris family wasn't much, but she was pretty good and had treated many patients with difficult and rare diseases.

"However, perhaps she'd gotten too arrogant later, for she'd taken in the same patient as the Gunther family at the same time. She insisted on treating the patient using traditional methods, and the patient ended up dead…"

Worried that Georgina would overhear their conversation, Bryan scooted closer. "This incited a huge uproar back then. If not for someone in Janovin who'd vouched for your grandmother, she would've had to go to jail.

"However, this couldn't be resolved just like

    Bryan wasn't hungry originally, but he was salivating over the food now. Georgina smiled. "Not bad."Aria didn't stay idle. After all the ingredients were in the oven, she made some millet flatbread in the pan and garnished it with some chopped chives.As if the oven-roasted ribs with potatoes and eggplant weren't enough, she cut up some romaine lettuce and tossed them with some vinaigrette. It smelled so good that Solo kept on turning his head back to look. It was Georgina who had baked those prawns, but Aria made a dipping sauce for them. The dishes looked colorful and very appetizing when served on the table. There were also some freshly baked rolls on the table that were still smoking hot. Bryan wanted to eat, but he dared not start. Georgina chuckled, saying, "Dig in. Let's give Aria's cooking a try."Both Bryan and Solo were extremely eager to do so. However, Solo didn't forget about Landon who was beside him. However, Landon had never eaten food that was prepared alon

    At this moment, thumping footsteps could be heard from outside the yard. Sam, who had been absent the entire day, entered the yard carrying a tote bag. Surprised by the large gathering, he paused momentarily and exchanged a glance with Aria.Aria raised a brow. "You're back? Grandma has been talking about you the whole day. Go have some food first."Sam grunted in response and made his way inside. Upon the sight of the massive tote bag Sam was carrying, Bryan wanted to help him. "It's heavy, isn't it? I'll help you carry… it!"The word "it" was punctuated heavily. He was using so much strength the veins on his neck popped, yet he failed to lift the bag."This sure isn't that light, huh," he said awkwardly. As if in disbelief, he tried to lift the bag again, using both arms this time, making a face as he exerted even more of his strength.Sam watched him in silence, staying on the spot. Bryan gave up. His arms went limp on his sides as he puffed heavily. "Seriously, what did yo

    Sam signed at Aria as he pushed her a piece of paper. Aria's gaze darkened. "You're saying that she stole the Whisperwind Herb to treat young Mr. York?" Sam nodded emphatically.Aria propped her chin on her hand and smiled. "Let's see how she's gonna use the herb in front of me."Sam agreed simply. "Yeah!"Aria tapped her finger on one of the name lists, and a smile slowly bloomed on her face. "It's time for things to change in Southbury."The Gunther family had been the most powerful force in Southbury's academic circle for years. If someone was skilled but didn't have the money, they wouldn't have the chance to work as an intern in a hospital.Those who did have the money also needed to be in the know about the existing conventions. Only after joining the Gunther family as a subordinate could they finally be sure that they had a chance. Not only was the Gunther family lying to their patients so that they could make more money from them, but they were also suppressing peopl

    "How can you talk about The Bequeather in that way, Aria?" Georgina expressed her disapproval. "He's laying low and not revealing his true capabilities."She then cradled her phone in her arms and kept on exclaiming in admiration while gazing at the screen. Georgina was practically behaving like a fangirl.Aria massaged her temple, feeling helpless. In the many years she'd been a doctor, this was probably the hardest blow to her reputation. "This already looks fake at first glance, Grandma.""Fake?" Georgina pushed her glasses up in a bid to look at the screen more clearly.Aria supported her with a hand on her arm. "Don't worry. I'm not going to cause any trouble.""I'm not worried about that." Georgina sighed. "My bad reputation will affect yours, so don't mention Heartbound Hall if you attend. I'll have the grandson of my good friend show you around too, and the two of you can take care of each other. Also, it's best if you avoid being around the Gunther family…"Avoid being a

    Salome craned her neck. "But you know as well as I that the medical industry is most profitable. With how many people there are in the family, we can't let our sources of income be severed.""I'm not asking that of you," Galen said slowly, "Just lay low for a while and wait for things to subside."Salome understood immediately. "Is someone from Janovin coming down here again, Father?"Galen didn't respond to that. He merely closed his eyes.Salome said, "Don't worry, Father. I'll make sure that nothing will be unearthed."Nothing had happened to the Gunther family for more than a decade since then, and they would surely emerge unscathed this time as well!…One night, inside a skyscraper in Janovin, the screens of countless office computers glitched at the same time. In a clinic in Southbury, Aria bit on a piece of fruit candy as she tapped her fingers on the table.Right after that, an identical email appeared in the mailboxes of those office accounts. The invader came and w

    Unlike the previous time, the banquet was not held in the city but in a villa in Westwood. Aria didn't ride her Tomahawk bike there this time. She packed her medical kit and invitation card before hailing a taxi. Did she hallucinate it, or did this invitation card look different?Aria was deep in contemplation after getting in the taxi. When the driver heard where she was going, he was surprised. "Not everyone gets to visit Caesar Villa in Westwood. I heard that all the people going today are renowned figures, so what about you, young lady?""I'm just going to make myself more known out there." Aria smiled lightly.The driver chuckled. "That's what I thought. You're just a young lady. It's not like you're going there to treat someone, right?"Aria smiled and said nothing. Caesar Hotel and Caesar Villa were of different levels. Caesar Hotel, which was in the city center of Southbury, was open to everyone. On the other hand, Caesar Villa in Westwood was a villa with a rose yard, comp

    People were still gradually entering the outer hall of the villa. Aria was among them, but her attire was obviously unlike what other people were wearing. Clad in a white shirt, jeans, and a maroon baseball cap, she looked like a student who hadn't graduated yet. The bodyguards at the gate stopped her from entering, asking politely, "And you are?"Before Aria could say anything, someone sneered from beside them. "A quack who 'specializes' in traditional medicine; and she has the audacity to show up here."It was Jimmy. He was supporting Salome as they walked over, followed by Karen and Lily. Lily was obviously avoiding Aria because she didn't want anyone to know about the relationship between them. Karen, on the other hand, was glaring at Aria so venomously, that her gaze was boring holes through her face. Aria really was everywhere! Aria raised a brow and said slowly, looking interested, "Oh, I know all of you.""You're nothing but a stranger to me," Jimmy said, "Look at wher

    Upon hearing the word "forged", the bodyguards looked at each other and said politely, "Please show us your invitation card, miss."Aria had astutely realized why she had come to get ahold of her invitation card. She had nothing to fear, though. If worse came to worse, she'd just expose her identity as Dr. Whiz. Aria handed the gold-plated invitation card over. As expected, the bodyguards were alarmed.This… This was…Upon seeing the bodyguards' expressions, everyone voiced their speculations, "Is something really wrong with the invitation card?"Jimmy was righteously furious as well. "Not only did Georgina Harris kill a patient, but her student is also a scammer. She's the embarrassment of the medical industry!"Salome was laughing as well. She sounded smug as she said, "If you really want to enter that badly, you can always ask for help from senior doctors such as me. You shouldn't resort to playing these tricks—how inappropriate.""Yeah, how embarrassing!""So is this how

    Aliya squinted at the unmasked man beside Aria. Now that his face was fully visible, something about him sparked a flicker of recognition. She lowered her gaze, trying to recall where she'd seen him before.Then a sharp gasp cut through the air."He's from the York family… Janovin's York family! Wait—was he Mr. Crow? Were they working together the whole time?"Even though they were all wealthy people, they weren't in the same ranks. No one dared to mess with the York family at all.If the circumstances were different, the arrogant, wealthy people from earlier would've tried to exchange contacts with Landon. That way, they could've partnered up in the future. However, with what had happened that day, those people were in a daze.Meanwhile, Aria knew those people still had no idea what was going on. So, she just removed her disguise and showed them who she really was.Aliya was stunned by what Aria had done. When she saw who the latter truly was, her gaze was filled with jealousy.

    The wealthy clients that were left behind at the auction had connections to powerful people, and Dave didn't think Aria was capable enough to deal with every one of them. Although Farshya was well-developed, it had always been a country that focused on connections.Power meant everything, and Dave wanted to see how Aria and her team would deal with his guests. If he remembered correctly, Aliya was the daughter of a great leader in the state. She wanted a womb from a young lady because she wanted to have children.Before the clients got what they wanted, Aria had offended a lot of big shots. Dave thought about it for a second and hoped Aria would suffer as much as he did.Dave was right about one thing. Aliya wasn't anxious at all when someone infiltrated the auction and took control of the event. She was only stunned for a moment at first. Once everything had settled down, she calmed down and even looked a little proud."I suggest you talk to your leader first before deciding to cu

    Dave had escaped, but just barely.He'd saved his life, nothing more. The documents he needed to destroy were still intact. Everything had gone completely off script.Every exit had been sealed. If he hadn't killed a villager and disguised himself with a spell, he would've died at the auction. He didn't receive any news about the ambush and was caught entirely off guard.He wasn't in Janovin, and security was that tight there. With his connections, he could've found out what was going to happen in advance. However, that wasn't the case at all.Slipping into a grimy back alley, Dave cursed his luck. Most of his men had been rounded up in the village. He could only hope a few had managed to slip through. But with sirens wailing in the distance, he knew hope was thin."Who the hell was that?" he muttered, wiping dirt off his face with a shaking hand. Normally a stickler for cleanliness, Dave was too rattled to care. "And where's the real Eden?"His mind snapped into action. The scho

    Landon's sudden appearance wasn't just a coincidence. With Aria's intelligence, she would figure something out soon—he knew that. He hadn't planned on revealing himself like this. But something that belonged to him was here, and the demonic energy in this place… Aria couldn't face it alone.She studied him from head to toe, her hand still in his. His grip was firm, protective."There's a lot of mist ahead," he said quietly. "We'll need to tread carefully."Aria tilted her head. "You speak like you know this place well.""I do," Landon replied with a calm honesty. "I was deathly ill once. My soul wandered into a place just like this. Homer pulled me back."His voice made it sound like a distant memory, and Aria gave a soft laugh, tightening her hold on his hand. "You really are full of surprises. I guess it's true—handsome men are the most dangerous."But Aria's thoughts were racing. Why had he come after her like this, knowing it would reveal parts of himself he'd tried to keep h

    Landon was still handling the stragglers behind Aria when he paused, his gaze flicking upward. Cameras were mounted in every corner—too many eyes. Vanishing without a trace wasn't an option.He glanced in Aria's direction, then lowered his head. His lips moved in a whisper, but the sounds were incomprehensible—something rhythmic, otherworldly. It was less like a speech and more like a chant—an exorcism.Meanwhile, Dave descended into the underground, calm and unrushed. That place reeked of foul energy, dense and suffocating. His master had cast a spell over it—one designed to kill anyone who dared to enter, no matter their strength. Dave wasn't afraid. He had more pressing priorities—destroying documents, erasing traces, minimizing damage.His bodyguard stayed close, watching for anyone who might try to stop them.Aria, moving swiftly, reached the lower floor—only to halt. Mist curled along the ground, thickening with every step. The air turned icy. And the corridor behind her…

    "Why would there be people outside?" asked Dave. He had been disguising himself as a doctor for years, and that was the first time he looked so anxious. After all, if someone did approach their building, the villagers would have informed them about it. However, they received no news this time.Dave wondered what was going on."Dr. Dave, what should we do now? I think we're surrounded!"He was still in his coat as he slightly clenched his fists. "Let's move out. Bring the girls in the basement with us.""T-They're not in the basement."When Dave heard that, he looked furious. "What do you mean they're not in the basement?""Someone took them away, and I'm guessing it was her fault!" The bodyguard pointed at Aria, who was standing on the highest point, showing off her skills. With swift, lethal kicks and a taser turned weapon, no one dared get close.Whoever touched Aria would die, and no one dared to approach her at all.As for Landon, he still had his mask on as he stood behind

    Chaos erupted at the auction. For all their pride and arrogance, the wealthy clients' expressions had twisted into pure panic the moment something went wrong.So, their first reaction was to seek a staff member."The power's unstable!" Dave spoke into the microphone, trying to project calm. "Everyone, stay calm. There's scheduled maintenance in town—it's just affecting the electricity. Nothing's wrong."He genuinely believed that. It was what he'd been told.But Aria knew better. The blackout wasn't random. It was a signal. Sam had tracked down the source of the call. With the exits sealed off, Aria had everything she needed to act.A faint smirk curled on her lips. Without hesitation, she grabbed Landon and swiftly took Aliya hostage. Her movements were sharp, practiced, so fast that no one around her even had time to react.Then came the needles.Aria flicked her wrist, sending a series of acupuncture needles flying. The rich guests closest to her froze in place, locked in stu

    Tony's accusation stirred a ripple through the room, and it didn't escape Dave's attention. With a subtle flick of his wrist, he signaled to someone nearby.Aria caught the movement. Her fingers tensed, ready to slip free of the rope she had already loosened. But before she could act, she heard a smooth, composed voice glide through the air."I need her to boost my luck," the man said coolly. "I've done my research. She's the ideal bride for someone like me."Dave stopped in his tracks, and it seemed like he was telling someone else to verify what Landon had said."Sir, it checks out," one of the staff murmured after a brief consultation. "Mr. Crow's fate is complicated. The master said only a spiritual match could extend his life. Otherwise, he won't make it past his next birthday."Dave let out a low chuckle, visibly relaxing. "Well then, Mr. Crow, it seems you've come to the right place. Please—carry on, everyone."Aria listened in stunned silence. Landon hadn't lied. His life

    Aria couldn't tear her eyes away from Dave.He was still quietly speaking to the man on the screen, their exchange shrouded in secrecy. No one nearby could hear what they were saying—but Aria could guess. It had to be a deal of some sort, something about her. Everything about Dave's posture, the glint in his eyes, told her this wasn't just business. It was personal.She glanced up at the clock again, nerves coiling in her chest. Something was wrong. Sam was taking longer than usual. That wasn't like him.The auction was nearing its close. They couldn't miss the chance to strike. Sasha, glowing with excitement, clapped her hands and declared, "Six million! It looks like no one else is bidding—congratulations to our newest member, Mr. Tiger—""Ten million dollars."The voice sliced clean through the noise, calm, clear, and cold.Everyone turned toward it.A man stood at the edge of the crowd, dressed in a sleek tuxedo dusted with black feathers, his mask intricate and dark.T
