Legacy Of The Hidden Heir

Chapter 5

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.

"A doctor attended to him now, put him in this posture, and warned not to change it," Lapland answered.

"Who the hell is the doctor? I am sure he doesn't know what he is doing. Mr. Saluzzo has to lie down because of his sickness," he said and proceeded to lie him down.

Cellinina hesitated to do something, but Lapland jumped in between him.

"What do you think you are doing? All this while, you don't even know what's really wrong with him. The doctor confirmed he was poisoned and even transmitted his Qi," Lapland yelled.

"I am sure he just wants to swindle you. Your grandfather must lie down, or else you want him dead."

"You are useless; don't disturb another person's treatment."

The problem is that the doctor didn't want to accept his incompetence. He was the chief doctor and couldn't let anyone just ridicule him.

"Let him do my job please".

Lapland insisted, "No, he is a professional. And I am sure he knows what he is doing".

"No he doesn't".

"He is a warrior that even told Lapland's condition just by looking at her" Cellinina said.

"If the warrior you called can be a ominipotent, then what is the use of having a doctor as his profession".

They kept mute, looking at him.

The chief doctor insisted, "if a professional doctor like me couldn't even treat him, there is nothing someone no-name like him can do."

"If something goes wrong, I will solely take responsibility for it; don't worry," he said. Cellinina was hesitating, not knowing what to say. The doctor used the opportunity to change the bed angle and lie him down.

Instantly, Mr. Saluzzo's face turned pale, and his skin transformed.

"What have you done?" Cellinina exclaimed.

The doctor, now in a panic, did a check on him, but he was not seeing anything while Mr. Saluzzo was dying, gasping.

The chief doctor ran out and came back with a set of doctors; they all did a checkup on him but couldn't do anything.

Laplace swiftly brought out her pistol and pointed it at the chief doctor's head. "I told you not to change his posture!"

The doctor shivered and knelt down. "Please, don't kill me; I did my best. This isn't my fault; it is the doctor that attended to him. He shouldn't have made him sit down in the first place. He is the reason Mr. Saluzzo is critically ill."

Cellinina angrily slapped him as he stumbled. "Don't accuse someone for your incompetence and stubbornness; we told you not to change his posture!"

Lapland's hand hovered on the trigger while the doctor shivered.

Cellinina immediately called Mlynar. "Please, we need you back now."

After some minutes, Mlynar returned. When he found out the posture of Mr. Saluzzo, he became angry.

"I told you not to change his position," he said, quickly attending to him, only to find out that Mr. Saluzzo is in between life and death and won't survive another hour.

"How can you be so incompetent, and yet disrupt another person's treatment" Mlynar yelled at the doctor.

"Don't blame me, you are the one that caused all this, I am sure mr. Saluzzo is dying slowly as you sit him up, just for you to run away".

Mlynar chuckles.

"Will you just shut up? If you said anything, I am going to kill you," Lapland warned.

Mlynar checked on mr. Saluzzo.

"Don't touch him! Did you even know what you are doing" the doctor ranted.

Mlynar glared at him and continued with what he was doing.

"Don't act rashly, you will only make the case worse" the doctor continued to yap.

"Will you please shut up and let me concentrate?" Mlynar yelled back.

"Okay, if you insist, but know that If anything happens, you will face the consequences".

"What about you, you are the one that caused all this" Mlynar roared at him.

"You see, he is making me take the blame, when he is clearly the one that caused this, I am not letting you kill him".

The doctor stood up to join him but Lapland couldn't cope up with his harsh behaviour, and broke his leg.

"Ughhhh!" The doctor groaned out in pain, the other doctors backed down.

Mlynar paid no attention to them again and concentrated on mr. Saluzzo. There is a total tense silence.

"What is his condition?" cellinina asked.

Mlynar exhaled loudly, "I can't assure you of his survival".

"Please do anything, anything you can, we will owe you alot, we will give you anything you wanted". Cellinina said.

Mlynar thought about the pill he needed from the saluzzo's family. With this he can have his way. But Mr. Saluzzo is already dying.

"I want the doctors out," he demanded.

Lapland shot them with her fierce gaze. 

Even with his broken leg, the chief doctor said, "Don't let him kill your grandfather".

He limped out.

Mlynar stretched out his arm, glowing with ethereal energy, as light emerged from his hand accompanied by an aura. 

Lapland and Cellinina were shocked at what he was doing, he was using his cultivation energy to save Mr. Saluzzo.

The radiant energy flowed from his palm to Mr. Saluzzo's weakened body.

Steadily, Mr. Saluzzo came back to normal and the colour of his skin returned to normal also.

At the same time, Mlynar's breath weakened as he was draining his Qi and cultivation power.
