Fred and Eileen had not started on the right foot. They were merely acquaintances, at most. He would not have gone so far as to offer his expertise if not for the Dragon Blood Fruit. If Eileen did not believe him, well, Fred was not morally bound to insist. After some thought, Eileen clenched her jaw and said, “Mr. Hoffman, p-please save my grandfather! As long as my grandfather’s alright, I… I’ll do anything!”　Eileen’s knees wobbled as she fell to the ground, only for Fred to catch her through the air.“No need to kneel. If that's what you wish, I shall try my best.” Then, Fred walked over to old Mr. Fraley’s side and placed his fingers on the man's pulse point.　Dr. Ludvington snorted internally. Fred was just a young man in his 20s. Even if Fred had graduated from medical school, a man of his age should be no more than a resident at some hospital or a newly appointed doctor. Dr. Ludvington tried hard not to cackle out loud when he watched Fred attempt to bring Mr.

They were all doctors and naturally knew that necromancy did not truly exist beyond the world of fiction. However, this also meant that Dr. Ludvington’s diagnosis was wrong, and Fred was right in that old Mr. Fraley was never dead to begin with.Seeing that Fred was about to leave to give Eileen and old Mr. Fraley some privacy, Dr. Ludvington suddenly shouted, “S-Stay right there! You’re not going anywhere!”Everyone was confused. Dr. Ludvington sneered. “Show me your practicing license!” Suddenly, the other nurses and doctors understood what Dr. Ludvington wanted to do.A practicing license was implemented for professional medical practitioners to differentiate them from conmen and quack doctors. A practicing license was crucial, and to practice medicine without one was illegal. Everyone turned to look at Fred. “I don’t have one,” he said calmly.As the Great One, Fred only ever dabbled in medicine to treat his close circle of family and friends without having to g

Even so, old Mr. Fraley had no worries whatsoever. To others, someone like Dr. Ludvington might pose significant trouble. However, Fred was a living legend, the revered Great One. He was the kind of person who, with just a few casual strokes of a pen, could make it so that the Hoffman family dominated Cloud Province. He was the kind of person who the Nation’s Elder, Windsor Lyons, personally called. Even if Dr. Ludvington had a thousand different means up his sleeves, it was nothing to Fred. Everything would ultimately be as Fred said. He would be a clown that was not worth mentioning. While old Mr. Fraley knew all this, it was obvious that Dr. Ludvington himself was missing the bigger picture. It was scarcely in his imagination that the man standing before him right now had already reached such an unattainable status. In his eyes, Fred was just a young lad who had not even reached his 30s. Elder Fraley and Eileen were just part of a destitute family that could not even affor

"How certain are you?" Captain Endish lowered his voice and asked Dr. Ludvington."As long as we get that weird kid involved without causing any trouble for me, it's a sure thing. After all, have you ever seen me mess up in all these years?" Dr. Ludvington said confidently.When Captain Endish heard this, he found himself leaning into the idea.They had indeed been working together for such a long time. Despite Captain Endish's knowledge of Dr. Ludvington's unsavory activities, nothing had ever gone wrong. Most importantly, Tobey Tano was Captain Endish's shield. Not only that, he had previously promised Mr. Tano that he would handle this matter. If he failed, losing the man as his backer would be a small matter. However, should Mr. Tano seek retribution, that would be disastrous.Furthermore, Captain Endish had just seen Fred. He was a young lad who was not even in his 30s. What kind of background could he possibly have? Moreover, Fred practiced medicine in the hospital without

Understand the world now? Fred immediately caught onto that point and dug deeper into it. "Your master didn't understand the current situation in the world?”"That's right," Eileen replied after a brief thought. "My master said she was apart from worldly affairs for too long, so she didn't know much about current affairs."It was exactly as Fred had suspected.His doubts from earlier were nearly confirmed with Eileen’s reply. It was highly likely that Eileen's master was connected to the man in South Carlos. It was nearly impossible for anyone to remain completely unaware of the world considering the society of today. Even warlord families like the Hansen and Walker families, which had ties to the world of warlords, were linked to worldly affairs in various ways.There was only one possibility.Eileen's master and the man from South Carlos came from the same place. While Fred had yet to uncover the exact nature of that place, it was clear that it was unlike any known location.
