Mlynar and Cellinina were in the car, on their way to the hospital.
"Thanks for willing to save my grandfather; I am very grateful," Cellinina stated.Mlynar politely nodded."Take this as a gift for your help," she said, stretching a card at him.Mlynar just looked at it."It contains 3 million dollars; you can withdraw it at any time." She offered.Mlynar shook his head, "Thanks, but you don't have to. I am not treating him for any compensation, and I can't assure you I will be able to heal him. If I succeed, I won't charge money."This made Cellinina admire him; she didn't believe there was someone as gentle and kind as him. She smiled. Just then, Mlynar's phone rang, and it was from Cynthia. Reluctantly, he picked it up."Hello, I heard you hit my brother. Is that true?" she said with an authoritative voice."Yeah, because..." he was about to explain, but Cynthia cut him off."You really did, how could you? Just because I divorced, is that a reason you vent the anger on my brother and call my mom a bitch?" she yelled, and Cellinina could hear their conversation."That isn't the case, Cynthia, it is..."She interrupted him again, "shut your mouth up. I can't believe you again. Anything that comes from your mouth is lies; you are a fake.""You listened to your mother and brother, why not listen to me also"."Just as I said, I can't believe you… I realise you have nothing in your mouth except lies"."Okay, if that is what you want to believe," Mlynar said."You better come back and apologize to them," Cynthia prompted.Mlynar scoffed, "you don't mean that? I should apologize even when I'm the victim.""Mlynar, stop playing the victim and come up clean. Then I will forget and won't press further."Mlynar was still surprised by Cynthia's transformation; he inquired, "What will you do if I don't apologize?""That I will charge you for assault. Apologize, and I will forget everything.""Do your worst; I don't care," Mlynar ranted back. "Really, I can see how animalistic you are, so ungrateful.""Say anything you want; this will be the end of picking up your calls," he said and hung up. Cellinina chose not to ask about it.******Cynthia's eyes turned red as the phone beeped, "he dared hang up on me?""I tell you, he is just a scumbag, you shouldn't have even called him," Ms. Riley said."I thought I could forgive him if he confessed and apologize, but he just lost his chance," Cynthia claimed."Just tell the police already, they would have arrested him by now" Ms. Riley kept pushing. She really loathed Mlynar a lot.Cynthia breathed heavily, losing her cool, and she stormed back into the company.She was trying to maintain her cool, and don't want any problem that will disrupt the dinnner today. The Saluzzo invited all the lothric family to a dinner to select their collaborators.*****After some minutes, Mlynar and Cellinina arrived at the hospital. They walked into the ward, where there were doctors who looked lost checking mr. Saluzzo and a young lady who rushed at them."Cellinina, we have to do something; father's illness is worsening, and these doctors are absolutely of no help, just going up and down," the young lady said."Lapland, father is gonna be okay; I come with a potential doctor," Cellinina said.Lapland is Cellinina's sister, known for her hot temper and her overprotective behavior. She was a ruthless killer as she was well trained to kill since she was a kid, she was cold and only care about a few people and also lacked common sense as all she knew is killing."Ma'am, we tried our best and provided all our best treatment, but he isn't improving," one of the doctors said, feeling ashamed."It's okay; you all can go. Mr. Mlynar will attend to him," Cellinina said.The doctors looked at each other, and one of them uttered, "the chief doctor told us not to leave him until he arrives".Cellinina shot them a cold gaze and they reluctantly withdrew out."Do your work," Cellinina gave Mlynar the go-ahead."Wait," Lapland stopped him. "Who is he, and what is he going to do?""He is a doctor; Mr. Fredy recommended him. He should be able to treat father," Cellinina said."Him? What is his name?" Lapland inquired."I'm Mlynar," he simply introduced."I haven't heard of the name before, which means you are not a renowned doctor. He even looks too young to be a doctor that will treat grandfather. He will just add more to father's ailments.""You can't just tell by looking; he can do it.""He even looks unprofessional, I am sure he is doing this because of money, we can't put father safety in jeopardy in this stranger's hand"."Lapland ... .Let's have faith in him, "Cellinina said."No, I can't believe in him until he proves himself worthy." Cellinina exhaled loudly."Will you let me treat him if I prove myself worthy?" Mlynar inquired."Mmm. Yeah, prove yourself".Mlynar walked closer to Lapland, "by just looking at you, I can tell you have an injured leg."He scanned her up and down, "the calluses in your hand show you are a warrior. The rate at which you're breathing fast indicates that you are not yet in the Qi realm, the cause of which is the injury you suffered from when you were a kid, making the Qi escape right after it is formed."Lapland got astonished; he knew all this just by looking at her. He even knew her past."How could you know all that just by looking?" she questioned, feeling tense and anxious."I can tell more if I keep looking at you," he said.She flattered, saluted him, "sorry for the misunderstanding; you can go on, doc."He ignored her and walked over to Mr. Saluzzo.He conducted a thorough examination, touching his arm and feeling his pulse.Placing his hand on Mr. Saluzzo's forehead, he opened his mouth to perform a proper check of the tongue and then lifted Mr. Saluzzo's eyelid, gaining insights into his condition.He then lifted him up to sit upright on the bed. The two sisters looked at him, wondering what he was doing. At that moment, doubt overtook Lapland again, questioning whether Mlynar was a real doctor or just a con."The chief doctor once said Father is to lie down because of the illness, but you are sitting him up!" Lapland asked.Mlynar ignored her and struck Mr. Saluzzo's chest with his palm."Ugh!" Mr. Saluzzo groaned as he vomited a mouthful of black blood.Lapland nearly pulled out her gun when she noticed what Mlynar was doing—transmitting his Qi to her grandfather."Why are you doing that?" she asked him. After Mlynar finished with what he was doing, he faced them."It turned out your father was poisoned," he said. Shock struck both sisters' faces."Yeah, a deliberate poison, so I transmitted part of my Qi to him to help keep his Qi warm. Then you can give him medicine to regulate it. For now, he is weak. You can do that later."They nodded, and simultaneously, Cellinina wondered who could poison her grandfather."Don't change his position; leave him in the posture. Make sure any medicine must be prepared by both of you."They nodded in understanding again."I will be going now; don't change his posture," he warned them again."We won't," Cellinina said, and Mlynar headed out.Not long after, the chief doctor entered, shocked to see Mr. Saluzzo in a sitting posture."What... What are you thinking? Who sat him down?" he asked angrily.
When Mlynar finished, he exhaled loudly, as some stem came out from his mouth. Mr. Saluzzo groaned and opened his eyes. The chief doctor limped in again. And he's surprised to see Mr. Saluzzo awake. "Due to the doctor's rash decision, your grandfather is very weak, and has reached an irreversible point, although I managed to extend his life by passing him almost all my cultivation, and energy. He can only live for one month". "See what you have caused!" Lapland yelled at the doctor. "He…" he tried to come up with some excuses again. "Just shut up!" Cellinina roared. "I am sorry, my job ends here" Mlynar said. Lapland and Cynthia groaned in agony and anguish. "You mean, there is nothing you can do, he will die within a month" Cynthia asked. "Yes, there is nothing I can do, except a doctor from Aesculapia is willing to perform a miracle on him". Aesculapia was a temple of the god of medicine in ancient Greek, which means it is nearly impossible. "Your grandfather will still die
After Mlynar left the ward, Cellinina met up with him. She wanted to escort him back, so they both entered the car and drove away.Cellinina sat closely beside Mlynar."I am very grateful for what you did. I wish I could repay you," Cellinina said.Mlynar nodded, "I did nothing, just a little effort. I'm doing that only to get the dragon bloodroot. I heard it can only be found in the Saluzzo family."Cellinina nodded, "I know. Mr. Finley has told me that also, but I still want to give you the bank card as a mere compensation."Mlynar nodded No."Just a kind gesture, please accept it," Cellinina insisted.Mlynar insisted, shaking his head, "I don't need it, but can you instead focus on searching for the medicine and other rare medicines?".Mlynar really needed that to save one of his followers, Mr. Alfred, who only survived the last war that the Nearl family fought with great loss. To revive Mr. Alfred, he disguised himself as a poor and homeless person in search of the rare medicine.
The vans of the thugs abruptly stopped in front of them. The van opened, and the thugs descended. All with armed guns, there were more than thirty. The thugs waited, while the gang leader approached Mlynar and Cellinina slowly. Cellinina pretended to be drugged, sleeping inside the car, while Mlynar, now the driver, sat comfortably. The leader headed straight to where Cellinina was, smirking, thinking she was under the influence. He intended to touch her when Cellinina suddenly stood up, pressing the gun against him. The gang leader was shocked but remained composed. The other gang members wanted to interfere, but the leader stopped them, turning back to face Cellinina. "Wow, I know you'll never be an easy target." "Who are you, and who sent you? Tell me, and I will spare you," Cellinina demanded. The gang leader scoffed, "I can't believe you're bargaining in this situation. I don't think you know who's really in power here. If you shoot and kill me, how will you handle my crazy
At the night banquets, where the light sparkled around the beautifully set event with many expensive items and decorations, more like a paradise.Cynthia was the first person to arrive at the party, showcasing a sense of punctuality in a stunning blue short gown. The attendees raised their eyes to the beauty that had just entered.Ms. Riley, the secretary, followed, unable to contain her amazement at the event and decorations. "The Saluzzo family is something. Their sense of decoration is unique, they are just good at everything," she said, losing herself in admiration.Cynthia nodded, "They must be filthy rich; all the items used for decoration here are highly expensive.""It would do us a lot of good if we managed to become one of their collaborators. We would soar higher than this," Ms. Riley suggested.Cynthia smiled, "We must become their collaborator. I will do everything in my capacity to make this successful.""Yeah, so for now, it will be good if you don't fill yourself with
"How does that concern you? Did Cynthia tell you this?" Mlynar answered coldly. "Oh, I think that is right. You don't even deny it," Ferdinand said. "Why should I deny it? I don't think I should be bothered by what someone like you says." Ferdinand wanted to ridicule Mlynar. He was so jealous to see him with those two beauties. "Don't be deceived by him. He is an unambitious person who sucks up to rich people." Mlynar glared at him while Ferdinand smiled, thinking he was successful. He faced Cellinina and Lapland. "Beauty, I am so sure that this rag man has deceived you just to take advantage of you and have an opportunity to get to this banquet." "Really? Then I think that is a good thing," Cellinina answered. Cynthia raised her eyebrows at the response. "He won't do anything good for you. He is just bad luck, and I am sure he just wants to con you. You deserve better than this lowlife man," Ferdinand ranted. "You shouldn't—" Lapland tried to shun him and drive him away. But C
Just as Cellinina and mlynar left, entering the set aside hall for honored guests, ms. Riley hissed, “I have never met someone stupid as her ''. Ferdinand chimed in, “she is beautiful, I wonder how she could let someone dirty and lowlife like him be with her”. Ferdinand was so just jealous, and angry as to how those beautiful women embarrassed him. “they are not even in the category with ms. Cynthia” ms. Riley said. Ferdinand tried to flatter Cynthia, "yes, she is not even more beautiful than Cynthia". "Yes, someone could easily see how classical and high Standard you are Ms. Cynthia" Ms. Riley said. Cynthia exhaled loudly in frustration, “please shut up, that;s okay, we should focus on what we are here for… you know that I must be among one of the collaborators, so I would like which of saluzzo’s family is in charge of tonight’s party”. Ferdinand got disappointed at the response, he was finding all ways to make Cynthia trust him so he could have his way. “Ma'am, I could help,
"Ferdinand, goodbye. I'm sorry, I need to go," Cynthia said. Ferdinand looked at her in disbelief as she headed in; Ms. Riley followed.Ferdinand tried his best to make his way in, but all to no avail. He breathed like an angry dragon ready to spew fire at any moment.However, he couldn't dare do anything; he had heard rumors about the cruelty and strength of the Saluzzo family's bodyguards.*****In the hall, the venue shimmered with sparkling chandeliers, casting a soft glow over the beautifully set space. A sea of elegantly dressed guests swirled through the spacious ballroom, creating a harmony of excitement with their laughter and giggles.Mlynar sat gently resting on the chair, calmly observing the audience and the performance of the artists. Meanwhile, Cynthia unconsciously stood beside Mlynar.Ms. Riley saw him and remarked, "Wow, see this rat that sneaked himself in; you even dare to relax."Mlynar chose peace and didn't even look at them. "Don't you hear I am talking to you?
