Seeing the flustered assassin's hasty exit, Justin had to stifle a laugh. Though Blood Wolf called himself a subordinate, Justin regarded him as a brother. Witnessing his awkward behavior now sparked an idea in Justin's mind - perhaps it was time to play matchmaker and find Blood Wolf a woman to thaw his frozen heart.But that was a matter for later. The girls had gone to change, leaving Justin boredly flipping channels until a news report caught his interest. Sunshine Orphanage, the city's largest, was being sold off due to financial troubles.The plight of the parentless children struck a chord in Justin. The orphanage had been doing well just a couple years ago - why the sudden downturn?"Master has triggered a quest," intoned the System. "Take over Sunshine Orphanage and resolve its difficulties. Quest completion condition: all children thank Master. Time limit: one week. Rewards: 100 Prestige Points. Failure: one year deducted from lifespan."The System sure was getting stricter,
Justin was tearfully frustrated. "God, just tell me straight, I don't have time for riddles. What is this method? Speak up, her life's at stake!"The System let out a mocking laugh before pontificating, "Master could channel his yang energy into the girl to counter her yin energy. With the System's pills remodeling your physique into a pure yang body, only your yang essence can suppress her yin. This will save her.""Alright, I'll do it now!" Justin dared not delay. He placed his palm on Sarah's back, sending a scorching heat into her body. Sarah's body shuddered at the searing energy. In turn, her icy aura made Justin tremble, chattering his teeth. Damn, it was freezing! But he persevered through the bone-piercing chill. As expected, it seemed to be working. With more yang flowing in, color returned to Sarah's face in a blushing glow that made her irresistible.After about an hour, Justin finally balanced the yin and yang within Sarah. Drenched in sweat and pale with exhaustion, he
When finished, Justin dragged the man back to the trampled skewers. In the same icy tone: "Pick up. Eat."The brute wept in frustration. He had only sent some men here to collect fees. Expecting easy money, instead they encountered a psycho. Usually able to handle three to five men alone, against this boy he was helpless as a chick.With burning, throbbing pain from the beating, he no longer dared act tough. Like a dog, he pleaded piteously, "I'm wrong, I'll never waste food again, please, give me a chance, don't make me eat them!"He gagged at the filthy, spit-covered skewers. No, he couldn't possibly ingest them - it would cost him his life. Retching violently, his bitter vomit mingled with the mess, the stench making everyone grimace in disgust. Some weaker stomachs even threw up, compounding the nauseating odor."Swallow your puke too. No one leaves until this floor's licked clean!" Justin snarled, smashing the man's head down again, breaking his nose in a gush of red that dripped
"What are you doing? Get up, I'm not dead yet. Why are you kneeling to me?"At this, Bella shot him an exasperated sideways glance and helped Sarah to stand."Sir, thank you for curing my illness and driving away those thugs. You are my benefactor and I should kneel to express my gratitude," Sarah replied.As she moved to kneel again, Justin quickly stopped her."Please, do not kneel to me. You are Bella's friend, and our meeting today was fated. Had Bella not brought me here, I would not have been able to save you. So please, no more thanks. Although I must say your kebabs are sublime - truly exceptional! When I get a craving in the future, I'll come back for more. You'll give me a discount, yes?""Don't worry, sir. Whenever you want to eat here, just come over. I'll provide to your heart's content, free of charge.""Wonderful, I do love free food and drink. It's a bargain I can't resist."With a laugh, Justin diffused the awkward tension. But then Sarah sighed,"I'm afraid I won't b
"Bring a car here right away. I need to get to Hospital No. 1. Someone's in trouble and I have to help. Hurry, there's no time to waste.""On my way, sir!"Wasting no time, Kyle leapt out of bed, threw on some clothes, and raced over in the Audi Justin had gifted him.The group rushed to the hospital in Kyles' car. The girls wore worried expressions while Justin repeatedly urged Kyle to drive faster.Knowing his boss' urgency, Kyle channeled the spirit of Takumi Fujiwara on Mt. Akina, blazing through red lights without hesitation. The normal half hour trip took just over ten minutes.At the hospital, Justin accompanied the girls inside while Kyle stayed behind to rest, completely drained from the most intense drive of his life. Understanding it was an exceptional situation, Justin didn't press him further.At the nurses' station, they asked about the patient's status but were ignored. The nurse responded coldly, "She'll be fine. First pay the balance due, already late for days. We'll
Justin conceded the point. He ordered Blood Wolf to hurry up. Finally, the blows rained down. With each swing of the chart, the woman's face swelled further until the other side was also grotesquely disfigured. She crashed to the floor, blood pouring from her mouth, babbling incoherently through broken teeth. The flimsy medical chart was reduced to scraps of paper swirling through the air.Her anguished squeals carried far through the hospital, rousing families keeping vigil. "Who's making this racket? Let a man rest!"Justin ignored them as Blood Wolf continued his methodical beating, trading spent charts for fresh ones, ceaselessly hammering the woman's face.At first she screamed like a stuck pig, but soon lacked the strength, consumed by waves of agony. She desperately wished to lose consciousness but somehow remained awake.Never had the imperious nurse suffered such humiliation. She mentally catalogued every offense to unleash her brother on them later.Meanwhile, Justin's grou
After days of pointless tests and scans in this hospital, even a robust person would seem ill. Let alone this frail, weakened old woman.Just as Justin prepared to begin, the deputy dean burst in with the disfigured nurse Savannah in tow."Stop! How dare you tamper with a corpse? That's illegal! Put it down and get out! You don't belong here!"Justin frowned slightly but kept focused on his task. Saving the woman was all that mattered now.The girls quickly tried explaining to the deputy dean but he refused to listen, sneering condescendingly."Young ladies, I understand your feelings with a loved one passing. But you can't go seeking any quack cure out of desperation. Does this kid even have a medical license? He's clearly no real doctor. How could you let him handle a corpse?""To be frank, our hospital's skills are the best in Nova City. If we can't cure someone, only places like Metropolis Central might help. Otherwise, they're beyond saving. Nothing more to discuss."The deputy d
"Impossible. No matter how careful you were, there'd be clues. My people aren't useless - they'll likely find out! Stop talking and go, before it's too late! I'm sending a trusted man to get you. Follow him and he'll get you away safely.""I'm not leaving. This is my turf - I won't believe anyone can stir up trouble here. Thanks for the heads up, Big Bro. I know it's serious and don't want to implicate you. That's all I called to say. I'm tired and need rest.""Hey! How can you sleep at a time like this? Tell me where you are and I'm coming over now!" Sean demanded.But Justin had already hung up. Killing was trivial to him, especially with Blood Wolf's experienced hands. He guaranteed no shred of evidence remained.The hospital director also rushed over, having heard the full story. He didn't dare offend Justin, but had to check on reported casualties.To his relief, there were no bodies strewn about. The rumors seemed false. As long as no one had died, there was hope.But after sear
