“So what if I hit you? Don’t you deserve it for daring to overstep?” Donovan shot him a cold smile.“Do you know that I’m from the O'Malley family?!” Harold thundered. He had always been a prideful person, so getting slapped in public was the greatest humiliation of his life!“The O'Malley family? So what?” snorted Donovan. “I have served this nation for twenty years and have paid my dues, yet you expect me to bow down to a brat like you?... Don't kid yourself!”“Donovan! Are you trying to say you won't apologize?” Harold questioned, with an unkind look on his face.He had thought that using his family name would scare Donovan.To his surprise, his trick was ineffective.“Stop fucking making a fool of yourself here! What’s so grand about being an O'Malley?... Do you think I don't have military connections to ensure that your pathetic family doesn't see the sunrise tomorrow!” Donovan bellowed, his anger evident. “This…” Harold looked taken aback. All his rage dissipated instantly.“If

A fit, middle-aged man wearing a suit walked in with bodyguards flanking him. He looked charismatic and intimidating without even trying.“Sir Gray?!”The moment the man appeared, Donovan’s spirits lifted dramatically.The garden went into an uproar, and the crowd retreated in respect.They knew that the man they were looking at was someone even Donovan bowed to!“Shit!... Donovan’s boss is here!” Celia’s expression changed.She could only imagine how the magnitude of the influence and background of someone like the Gray Lion.“How foolish! If he had let Sir Donovan go earlier. Too bad now that the Gray Lion is here. He dug his own grave!”“I don’t care if he dies, but he’s dragging us down with him. What bad luck!”Ava and the others were shocked and terrified at the same time.They couldn’t even afford to offend Donovan, much less the man behind him, who was none other than the mighty Gray Lion. “You fool! The Gray Lion is here. Aren’t you going to surrender?” shouted Donovan.Lieu

“What is the meaning of this, Victoria?” Charlotte asked with a frown. Victoria replied calmly. “I doubt that's any of your concern, mother. Anyways, I’ve already found a good fit for the project, and it’s Mr. William!”“What?!” Everyone exclaimed in shock when she announced that.“You’ve got to be kidding me, Victoria! Is he even qualified to serve as chief physician for this backwater hospital?” Charlotte asked, voicing her displeasure.“William’s medical skills are top of the line, and he knows the ins and outs of medicine. I believe he is the best suited for the project!” Victoria responded. “W–what kind of nonsense are you talking about?!” Charlotte hollered, obviously agitated by her response.Suddenly, William remarked. “Ma'am, it would be best for you to calm down and reduce your voice. This is a hospital after all.”“So you’re the pretty boy who keeps clinging on to Victoria like a leech?” Clinton sneered after looking William up and down.His gaze was full of disdain towar

“Ridiculous! Mr. Cole has been researching poisons for many years now, so how could he possibly lose? You’ll see how great he is later!” Clinton gave a bark of laughter.William merely let out a short chuckle and said nothing more in response.Soon enough, Mr. Come arrived and immediately began concocting his poison.His movements were so fast that it was enough to make one’s head spin.In the meantime, William took his time with it and did everything at his own pace.After a long while, Mr. Cole had finished concocting his polson, which appeared to be a bottle of viscous, purple liquid.One could even smell a faint scent of dead rats wafting out of it.“I’m done with my poison. Dare to take it?” Clinton taunted as he placed the bottle on the table and provocatively glared at him.Anyone with a discerning eye could definitely see that the purple potion in front of them was highly poisonous.This meant that anyone who ingested it would surely be in danger!Victoria couldn’t help but ba

As soon as the antidote landed in Clinton's stomach, he immediately felt better.However, after enduring the pain for a few seconds, he vomited all the white liquid out of his system.“What are you doing, Mr. Smith? You just threw up the antidote!” Mr. Cole exclaimed in surprise.“I couldn’t help it. I really couldn’t hold it in!” Clinton whined helplessly.“You could even stomach taking piss, so why can’t you do the same for the antidote?” Mr. Cole scolded, flabbergasted.“Cut the crap! Hurry up and prepare another dose, I’ll make sure to hold it in this time round,” Clinton shouted as his face twitched.Mr. Cole had no choice but to do as he was told.Soon, he’d finished whipping up another dose, and Clinton wasted no time ingesting it.This time, he managed to hold it in.“My stomach still hurts like hell, Mr. Cole. Why haven’t the effects kicked in yet?” Clinton complained with a strained look on his face.“It can’t be. Perhaps the effects of the antidote haven’t kicked in yet, so
