INDOMITABLE ROMEO STORMBREAKER

CHAPTER 10

Get out of my office you dead dog since you do not have manners. Now!" He yelled.

Romeo was however unmoved by Dr Manuel's threats and yelling. "Doctor if I may ask you between you and I who has displayed a rather cynical and unaccommodating tone?"

"Get out now. My work was done with you when I performed a successful surgery on your wife. I ensured that she lived in that critical moment." Dr Manuel paused. "Get out I would not ask again."

"I would give you ten seconds to tell me what happened to my daughter if not Dr Manuel I am going to destroy your life even before you step out of this room."

"What did you say?" Dr Manuel dimmed his eyes. He couldn't believe his ears. Of all the average men he had encountered in his life Romeo was the most useless and hopeless, I mean what kind of a man would get his wife pregnant when he was fully aware he was not going to be financially buoyant to pay the necessary clinical bills to ensure that his baby is welcomed properly into this world.

What kind of a man would be so neglected by his family to an extent he had to engage in street duels, fighting with thugs, street urchins, people that were up to no good so he could win the prize money generated from the bets that were staked on his head.

"Ten…"

"Nine…"

Dr Manuel was vexed and began to get agitated by Romeo's mere presence. The scent of his shampoo became offensive to his nostrils.

"Six…"

He walked up to Romeo and slapped him.

The impact of the slap meant nothing to Romeo as he quickly turned back to Dr Manuel and continued counting.

"Four…"

"Three…"

"Two…"

"I really want to see what you can do Romeo Stewart." The doctor snorted. "You are nothing but a nuisance. Consider yourself blacklisted from my books. I don't want to see you anywhere near my…"

"Hello am I speaking with Dr Dennis Hansen, the president of the physician association of Yilaburg?"

"Yes your excellency, you are speaking with him. How may I help you?"

"With power vested in me as the governor of Yilaburg, I order you to revoke the name Dr Manuel Strootman from your books. Revoke his license as a doctor."

"May I ask the reason for your judgement your excellency?" Asked Dr Dennis Hansen.

"I find him guilty of gross miscuduct, abuse of office and failure to adhere to the pledge given in the physician code." Romeo said confidently.

"Your excellency I would suggest that evidences of these offences should be put on the table so they can be investigated on before we pass judgement on Dr Manuel."

"One more useless opposition to my directive and I am going to relieve you of your duties."

"Okay your excellency, I would do that right away."

Romeo hanged his call.

Dr Manuel rubbed his eyes because he struggled to believe that he was in reality.

Dr Dennis Hansen, the doctor with the highest esteem in the state referred to the Romeo that he knew as your excellency?

He even considered himself as Romeo Stormbreaker the new military governor of Yilaburg. No way, this Romeo in front of me must be crazy. He thought.

Despite his doubts something inside Dr Manuel thought that Romeo was not joking.

Romeo dialled another number.

"Hello colonel Barnes Becker."

"Hello General."

"Are you at the Golden Stone Bank?"

"Yes I am here with some armed soldiers."

"Is the general manager of the bank with you?"

"Yes General."

"Hand over the phone to him…"

"Good morning your excellency." Greeted the general manager.

"Am I speaking with the general manager of Golden Stone bank?"

"Yes your excellency I am the one."

"Good. I want you to deliver all financial assets of one doctor Manuel Strootman to state account, I believe you have him in your books."

"Yes your excellency, but…"

"I do not wish to entertain questions as to my reason for such directive. That is an order and you would do it. Understood?"

"Yes your excellency." The general manager replied in an instant.

Before Romeo's call was over Dr Manuel's phone beeped. It was a notification, he had just received a message via email.

"Jesus Christ!" Dr Manuel yelled. He couldn't believe it, his account was reduced to nothing. All his savings and investments gone in an instant.

It wasn't long until his phone rang, it was Dr Dennis Hansen. "No, this cannot be happening." He prayed that what was about to unfold was not what he thought.

"Hello." He uttered shakily.

"Hello Dr Manuel. Hope you are good?"

"Yes Dr Dennis Hansen I am goo…"

"Dr Manuel, I don't have enough time, but I hate to put it to you that upon the directive of the Military governor of Yilaburg and crowned prince of Mondosh, I have to revoke your license."

"But…"

"Dr Manuel, from now on, you are no longer a doctor under our guild. I am sorry for this, however I wish you the best in life."

Dr Manuel was wide eyed and words couldn't describe how disorganized and confused he was right now. What he spent years working hard to get was gone away with just two phone calls.

"Dr Manuel I would ask you once again and if you prove to be stubborn I would go unto the next phase of my special discipline towards stiff necked dogs like you."

Dr Manuel was silent.

"What happened to my daughter?"
