The Hatuis surfaced three years back, taking the life of five prominent men in Eastside city. Up till this day, nobody knows exactly what it was.

It disappeared with no trace afterward. With no cure. Twenty-four hours was all it took to take a life.

"We should inform the heiress."

"About what?" The eyes of the Director were cocked in a questioning manner.

"About the situation. The earlier the better for all of us." Doctor Col informed.

"We aren't going to do any such thing. Do you understand who heiress Xerxes is and how this is going to impact our hospital?

Nobody will come here if anything happens to him. We can at least try."

"Or you aren't the great Doctor that you say you are." Ben scoffed.

Col racked his head. He had done his research on this disease and to be sure, it would be impossible to do anything about it. Expect.

"I might have someone that would be able to help." Col finally asserted.

"Then what are you still waiting for? Get them over here."

Ben grumbled with hands squeezed with hatred. Hearing the others sing the praises of the Doctor twitched his hearings.

Col walked away and met Quinin just before he left the hospital and they exchanged glances.

"I should presume that you have something to tell me Doctor Col?" Quinin's subtle voice came through.

"Yeah." The doctor stressed.

"There's a case of..."

Quinin shook his head, instantly putting an end to the words of the Doctor.

"I can't help. Doctor. And I presume you should already know the reasons."

"I understand perfectly fine Sir. Quinin. If it wasn't due to necessity, I would have never asked.

The issue isn't the patient but Xerxes, the heiress. If we can't do anything about this, the hospital might fold up."

Quinin's skin tightened. The Eastside Specialist Hospital has been supporting the health of his uncle. And moving his uncle out of the city was going to be a lot of hassle.

Together with Quinn, they walked over to the Director. Col blooming with excitement.

"This is Doctor Quinin. I learned a lot from him."

They seized him up from his head to his toe. Before the Director could speak, Ben stepped forward with a flash of rage and mockery in his eyes.

"What sort of a joke to you? You said you had a Doctor? So what's this?

Did we ever tell you that we need to grow corn!"

For the first time, the other Doctors defended Ben, shooting disappointed glances at Col.

"This's just extreme Doctor Col."

"Trying to amuse himself. He wants the hospital down so that he can build his." Ben added.

"Doctor Col. Do you care to explain what's happening here?" The Director frowned deeply.

"I can assure you, Director , that Sir. Quinin is proficient in the art of Medicine. I've seen what he can do. If anyone can help, then it has to be him."

The director scoffed.

"You must be such a fool to think that I'm going to allow such a patient to be used for your pitiful experiments.

If you don't want to help. Then the hospital has..."

The door flew open and the heiress stepped forward. Seeing that nothing had been done, she frowned deeply.

"Is this proof of how proficient you are with this job? Director?" Inquired Xerxes, sending shivers down the spine of everyone.

"I'm very sorry Lady Xerxes. But there was an issue. The issue involves gastrin and sadly, Doctor Col isn't efficient in such areas." He explained.

"Then what do you intend to do?"

"I will gather the best of our Doctors in the area and they will work on this. Be assured that the operation will be smooth."

The Director ran his eyes through the hall, pointing at the Doctors he deemed fit. Ben stepped forward.

"I think you're missing me, Director. I'm a professional in this area." He declared.

Murmurs filled the hall. Ben though he liked lording over others wasn't even up to an average doctor.

Yet the Director nodded his head.

"Yeah. I almost missed you out, Ben!" He announced. "Come this way."

The stomach of the other tightened into a knot. Ben was going to get the recognition from the heiress that he did not deserve. I told you to glance at Doctor Col. This was his way to the top. He smiled brightly.

"Doctor Col... If you and your farmers have nothing else to do here. Kindly exit the hall." The director only tried to control his anger because of the heiress, Xerxes.

"You didn't have to mention. We were just about to leave." Quinin ended, walking away from the hall.

With hands folded into his pants to control an outburst of rage, Doctor Col bowed at Quinin.

"I'm very sorry for what happened back then."

"You don't need to apologize."

Meanwhile, heiress Xerxes could not get her eyes off a particular man.

The way that Quinin moved. And the aura that he carried. She had studied people for a long time and exerted control over great men. Not even the most powerful in the city had such aura. And the fact that Doctor Col quivered at his feet, spoke volumes that he wasn't an ordinary man.

Her interest peaked as she got her assistant forward and whispered into his hearings.

"I need details about that man and what happened here." He ordered and he bowed his head.

It only took a few minutes before the details of everything that she had asked for fell into her hands.

It turns out that the man named Quinin was a farmer. Just as his dress suggested. However, there were no other details about it.

And though the other doctors would not give out what was wrong with the young man Xerxes brought forward, Doctor Col had recommended this man himself to help with this special case.

"Doctor Col pulling off a case and recommending someone as his mentor. I'm intrigued."

She dropped the documents and turned her feet around.

"I guess we should have a little chat. Especially when it has something to do with the life of someone close to me."

She ordered the guards to block Quinin before he would make his way out of the hall at any moment.

    A group of men surrounded Quinin and a glim expression flashed through his face. "What's the meaning of this?" Doctor Col face tightened. "Don't take it the wrong way. I just want to have a little chat with the young man.." Xerxes stepped forward revealing her vibrant and suffocating aura even though she did nothing. The other men beamed with an excessive amount of jealousy. A lowly look the man has been able to catch the attention of the almighty heiress. "Ok..." "I'm sure you already know who I am. I was informed that prior, Doctor Col noted that you would be able to help with my brother's case." "So I wanted to know. Are you a well-trained doctor by any means?" "I only know a little about medicine and nothing more. I'm sorry to disappoint you." Ended Quinin with a blank face. "Oh... I must have gotten the wrong idea. Thanks for entertaining my curiosity." The bitter pill of disappointment rose through the throat of the heiress and she turned around to leave. Doctor Col said

    Ben quivered from the weight of the shocks that came crashing on him. "What he needs now is a lot of rest." Quinin pulled off his gloves and turned over to Doctor Col. "I'm running late." Doctor Col nodded. Quinn had already done more than enough. Doctor Nam was still dumbstruck. The disease that had taken the life of three of the most powerful men in the city, three years ago was cured in just a blink of an eye. "Was that the lifeblood technique?" From the books of medicine history, it was stated that the greatest Doctors in the ancient past had developed this after the black death. It saved the rest part of the world. This technique could control the life force of the individual in any way that they wanted. It could work miracles. Healing incurable diseases. And just in the same way, it could only be a deadly instrument. Director Nam's face ran over with beads of sweat. If he could get Quinin to become a doctor in the hospital, then the name of Eastside hospital was defini

    "Oh!" Xerxes remembered that she had read something like that. But Emily Famous was already hinting at having a relationship with someone else. Plus, over the years, nobody had sighted the two loving couples together. This ship was going to wreck and she would just be waiting patiently to take the ruins for herself and build a cruise ship. "I wouldn't mind a little compensation?" The young lady remained determined. Just then, a bang was heard just ahead of them. The cars came to a halt "What's wrong?" Xerxes inquired. "I will check it out. Just give me a few seconds." The assistant replied. He got out of the car while the rest watched closely. George was encased closely by a convoy of cars. A group of fully armed men stepped forward. Broad chested and eyes filled with murderous intent. Quinin recognized one of them in an instant. It was the same man that had looked at him with a death stare earlier that day. He had come back for him. Just as he noted he was going to do. Qu

    They attacked from every side, not leaving any breathing space. The leader of the gang beamed brightly with smiles. However, Quinin remained unfazed. With steps mixed into the air and we're barely noticeable to the human air, his hands tore through their jaws, knocking them out cold. Xerxes' skin tightened with shock as Quinin dusted off himself. His poker expression returned and he got into the car where George had been taken to. Taking a pill out of his pockets, it slipped into the mouth of George and dissolved almost immediately. His wounds healed slowly and the swells all reduced. He handed over a few more to the one taking care of him. "One tonight and another tomorrow morning and he would be as good as new." Xerxes remained calm. But her inside was shaken with astonishment. How could someone be betrothed to such a person and not want them? Instead going for someone who wasn't even a tenth his worth. "Well. It's an opportunity to get what isn't valued for myself." She smi

    Mr. Famous's face gleaned. "Yes! Should there be a problem?" Emily blinked with a sense of disgust twisting it's way into her stomach. The rest of the family went into the Villa while Quinn remained in the waiting room. "Grandpa, tell me this is a prank. It's someone else right? I mean I can even accept a farmer if he is well to do. Not a pathetic looking one." Her voice tightened. "Dead people don't tell jokes and I am already closer to that." Mr. Famous said gravely. Emily squeezed her hands tightly. She never wanted to get married to someone that she didn't even know in the first instance, talk less about someone who looked like they had just been picked off from the gutters. "He is poor, stinks, and has no future ahead of him! I can't get married to him. I believe if we give him a good amount of money, he would break the agreement without blinking." With a firm stance, Mr. Famous shook his head. "I have already made my decision, Emily, you are getting married to him." A g

    The guards of the Han family fell into the range of the most deadly group in Eastside. And Han had a potential connection with the outside world. Emily stuttered violently. "Yes. That's more like it." Vince staggered off from the floor, supported by two guards. "For that taunt that tried to touch me. I'm going to spare him, to the brink of death if you come with me, and he apologies. If you don't follow these instructions strictly, then I would have no choice but to kill him!" Emily, still flustered, could only attempt to bow her head to apologize. It wasn't for Quinin but her grandfather. If he could react in such a manner just to get her to marry him, she could not even dare to think about what he would do if anything happens to Quinin. However, Quinin stopped her. She flashed a frown at him. "What do you think you're doing!" She growled. "Your dumb ass is the reason that I got into all of this in the first place. And you're still trying to make things worse.

    Screams."Pervert!"Emily grappled to the bed sheet, stumping out from the bed with a face widened with shock."Did you dare to touch me last night?" She growled at the young man lying on the bed."Wow, what a pretty way of saying good morning and thank you for last night!" Quinn face ran cold."Did you?" Emily's brows twitched."Why should I? There's nothing to amuse me with."Emily bubbled with rage. She was the gem of the Eastside city and also the heiress of the fastest-rising company in the city.Men would lurk after her like ants to sugar from afar, it would be a dying wish to even lay on the same bed with her.Yet, some farm-looking boy just discarded her like a heap load of garbage. It was difficult to point out what she was angry at, his comment or the fact that she could sense that she had been taken advantage of."You're not only a pervert but also irresponsible?" Her eyes popped up."Getting drunk and ending up in a room that isn't yours? A well thought out definition of r

    Before Emily could give a response, he already stepped forward with a glamour to his face. Seeing the commotion involving Emily, was another way to shine forth his proposal. "Hello Mr. Farm boy. Seems you're new in town." He observed. "I should give you a survival tip. When you come into a new place. You do a thorough study on the people you should and shouldn't mess with." He smirked. "And such persons include myself and Lady Emily." "If that's all you have got to say, please excuse me, I have an appointment to catch." The crowd was awestruck. Nobody would dare to speak to Kelly in such a manner. If someone else were to be in the shoes of Quinin, they would be shaking in their booths already. "Because you're new.. I am going to let that slide." He slapped on Quinin's shoulders multiple times. "And we a no will all pretend like today is a normal day and let you off the hook, only if you apologize to Lady Famous for your insolence." His words flashed with murderous intents as h

    Quinin waited patiently, far away from the drama. The crowd was already clearing out and he opted to get the gift later in the day. A brand new Porsche stopped right besides Quinin, and the rest members of the crowd almost gawked their throats out. A man who was well-known to everyone in the city stepped off the card. Mr. Nam, one of the first five power-ranking men in the city, known to have built his own empire. "Sir. Quinin. I'm very sorry I came late. It will not happen again." He apologized gravely, bowing multiple times, even though it was just a few seconds. "It's fine. Just get me to the hospital as soon as possible." "Okay, sir." Nam quickly opened the door and walked in. A group of pedestrians watching from afar were stunned.
