............"Hello, Elara! It's been a while!" Darius greeted her with a sense of familiarity, as if he were a very good friend of hers."Please don't address me by my first name; we aren't so close. Keep a respectful distance, Mr. Blackthorn!" Elara's response carried a chill, her words creating an invisible barrier. Her displeasure with his presence was evident, rejecting any attempt at a casual rapport."Dear, do you know Young Master Blackthorn? Are you acquainted with him?" Sophia asked, sensing the tension between them."Hahaha! Yes, Aunt, we sure are acquainted. Actually, I know her quite closely for a while now!" Darius laughed, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. Sophia caught the subtle hint, and her smile widened."Oh, that's great. Elara, dear! You shouldn't show such a rude attitude toward the guest. If you both have some misunderstanding, I'm sure you can talk it out!" Sophia beamed as she chided her daughter for being rude to Darius just now while attempting to diffuse
............"Huh, did you say, Blackthorn?" Aarav's face contorted upon hearing the name; he was visibly angered and ready to hack the bastard into pieces.He was so consumed by anger that he didn't notice Elara, for the first time in a while, softly speaking to him and asking for a favor.Aarav stepped forward, his imposing figure standing tall in front of Darius Blackthorn, veins visible on his forehead, revealing the depth of anger and rage he felt seeing his archenemy before his eyes.He even imagined what he would do when he came face-to-face with Darius, contemplating how to make him experience pure pain, and how to make him beg for death.But today, Aarav could only seethe with rage as he looked at his archenemy, unable to take any action against him.With his in-laws and Elara present, he didn't want to scare them or become a criminal in their eyes.Most importantly, Aria, his sister, was there, and he didn't want to remind her of the trauma she had somehow forgotten about.
............"Bammm... Gaaahhhh!"As the cry of pain echoed, the guards at the door were momentarily stunned before quickly responding, rushing towards Darius to assess the situation.The crashing sound was revealed to be a gift pack that had hit Darius in a particularly sensitive area, causing him to wince in agony and crumple to the ground."Sir, are you alright? What happened to you?" The concerned guards approached Darius, their eyes wide with worry, asking if he needed any help."Hey... serves you right!" Aarav arrived in front of Darius with a look of contempt, his tone carrying a threatening edge."You... Ahh, Shit...!" Darius could only glare back, the intense pain evident in his expression.The guards, unaware of the context, tried to understand the situation and offer assistance."Is he hurt? What happened?" one of the guards inquired, kneeling beside Darius."He's fine. Just a little accident. No need for your help," Aarav retorted, dismissing the guards with a casual wave
............"Brother, who is this lady?" Aria asked innocently, her curious gaze fixed on the lady driving the car as she and Aarav occupied the back seat."She's a good friend, her name is Ms. Maya Vasudeva!" Aarav introduced his clueless sister to Maya, who glanced at them through the rear-view mirror with an amused smile playing on her face."Huh, where did I hear that name?" Aria muttered, her brows furrowing as she tried to recall."Ahh, don't tell me she is related to that Vasu Family!" Aria's eyes widened in shock as she made the connection."Yes, she is!" Aarav nodded, confirming her guess."Wow... how did you manage to get to know her..." Aria, now composed, asked with an impressed tone, leaning in to hear the story from her brother."Well, it was a pure accident. I treated her grandpa, and now they seem to show me favor!" Aarav shared, ruffling his sister's hair affectionately."Cheez... big brother, stop doing that! Anyway, are you two-timing, brother!" Aria playfully sto
............"Forget it, I'll do the introduction again. My name is... Oliver, Oliver Chambers. Does it ring a bell now?" He spoke with a defeated tone, looking at her expectantly, waiting for her to jog her memory."Oh, Chambers... right, now that you mentioned it, you do look like Dr. Chambers. How did I miss that? My apologies, Mr. Oliver, please come in!" Iris Karl finally recalled the surname Chambers, glancing again at his appearance.With a tall and athletic build, Oliver carried himself with quiet confidence. He resembled his father quite a bit, a fact not lost on Iris.Iris nodded and gestured for him to come into the office, offering an apology that seemed less sincere from her expression."Fine... fine, let's just enter," Oliver said, feeling a bit frustrated with dealing with her. He didn't want to argue anymore.So much for being the son of the head surgeon, a genius medical graduate. The encounter left Oliver a bit disheartened by the lack of recognition and appreciati
............"It's an emergency, a large number of injured patients just arrived. Some kind of fire broke out, and they are victims from there. Anyways, we need to hurry back!" Iris Karl replied, reporting what happened as she urged the director."I am sorry, Mr. Veridian and Ms. Vasudeva, but I have to attend to this emergency. We can discuss this matter later!" Victoria turned to Aarav and Maya, apologizing for the unexpected situation."No problem, Director. Actually, I was wondering if I am allowed to lend my hand, as I haven't officially joined yet!" Aarav suggested, offering his help."Really, that would be great... please help us. We need as many hands as possible!" Victoria beamed with a smile, hearing his suggestion, and accepted his offer with open arms."Then please follow us to the Emergency department." Iris Karl and the Director then led Aarav after leaving the office.Maya and Aria followed along, their curiosity piqued about how Aarav would handle the patients in this
............"If I remember correctly, then this is the legendary Healing Point Technique. It's a unique method used to treat injuries by tapping various healing points in the human body." Director Victoria muttered with a mix of shock and amazement evident on her face.She watched intently, marveling at the skill Aarav displayed."Healing Points... what...!" Head Nurse Lily remained perplexed, her eyes widening as she struggled to grasp the concept that Director Victoria was trying to explain."Never mind, you wouldn't understand!" Director Victoria shook her head, her hazel eyes reflecting frustration as she looked at the confused expression on Head Nurse Lily's face."Here, I'm done. You can check the wound and apply the bandage; he'll be fine now!" Aarav stopped his hands, a sense of relief in his eyes as he gestured that he had successfully treated the patient."Oh, that's great. Leave the rest to the nurses; they can handle it!" Director Victoria nodded, her sharp gaze observin
............She skillfully dodged falling concrete from above, continuing to move around, checking for something and confirming it."Alright, keep us informed about the situation!" A deep, authoritative voice sounded from the other side."Wait...aren't you going to explain why there is a team of executioners from the organization here, and how did the information about the Divine Heir get leaked?" The lady asked hurriedly, noticing the call was about to end.Her words made the other side pause."Someone intentionally leaked it to cause chaos within the organization. I need to keep looking for the Heir, and once you find him, make sure to notify us immediately!" Replied the authoritative voice before giving strict orders and pausing for a moment."As for the executioners, you don't need to pay attention to them. They are doing their duty of cleansing any trash so the Divine Heir doesn't get his hands dirtied!" The voice spoke with an eerie tone before the call abruptly ended."Dudu..
