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
Seeing him actually kneel, the doctors traded uneasy glances, unsure if they should follow. Kneeling was humiliating, but not doing so seemed disrespectful. They were caught in a dilemma.Finally, Justin's heart softened at the sight of a young life imperiled. His parents had instilled benevolence in him since childhood. Though changed by experiences, this principle endured.With a sigh, he returned, ordering the doctors, "Get him to the OR now, then leave - just me. No one interferes, understand?"The unreasonable demand appalled them. Surgery without doctors? Unheard of!Before they could object, the burly youth exploded again."What? You're the doctors - stop chatting and operate! Yet you let some snot-nosed punk in? Who the hell is he? Doesn't even look like he knows medicine!Old man, don't treat me like an idiot! My brain's slow but I'm not stupid! Quit tricking me and get in there!And you, brat - don't disrupt my young master's care or you won't see tomorrow's sun!"The man wa
Facing the deranged woman, Justin naturally had little to say. He flicked away her grasping hand and walked off with Blood Wolf."Stop right there! You're not getting away." Unsurprisingly, she refused to let the matter go and charged forward to grab his clothes again. This time, Justin shook her off, sending the woman sprawling to the floor, soiling her expensive mink coat.Justin approached the old dean and said, "Had I known there were so many mad dogs here prone to senseless biting, even if you groveled before me until death, I still wouldn't have agreed to save anyone. However, seeing as you're not a bad old man, I'll let it go this time. I've done what I promised and taken care of the patient inside. As long as the silver needles remain in his body for the next half hour, he'll pull through just fine. Alright, I'm off. Old timer, let's just call it even from your past favor. We're square now."With that said, he promptly took his leave. The woman tried to stand and block his wa
Indeed, Justin had returned to the food street. The old lady had regained consciousness and kept profusely thanking Justin.When she realized Justin had saved her life, the elderly woman almost knelt before him on the spot.Justin was startled and quickly helped support her.Heavens no! This senior could be his grandmother. Letting her kneel would surely cut short her life!"There now, Granny, no more thanks. Your illness was but trifling to me, a flick of my wrist. If you really want to thank someone, thank your good granddaughter here. Had she not diligently cared for you these past days, I'm afraid it would've been difficult to cure you even if I wanted to."Hearing this, the old lady turned and lovingly stroked her granddaughter's hair, tears streaming down her wrinkled face as she trembled, "My good girl, you've suffered much for me.""Granny, as long as you're well."The touching familial scene made Justin's nose turn sour. To avoid embarrassing himself in public, he quickly cha
Listening to this, Justin nearly tripped and doused his front in the water he was drinking. He coughed incessantly, mentally cursing the shameless ingrate a hundred times over.What was with this hulking, bear-like brute acting like a dainty girl?Justin spitefully kicked him in the rear, booting the guy outside."Hurry up and unload everything. I'm starving if you haven't noticed!"Tiger just chuckled, unbothered, and strode over to a foolishly grinning underling whom he also promptly kicked in the rear, sending the man flying forward."What are you laughing for? Get going and unload the stuff!"The bewildered underling shot him an aggrieved look. "Boss, that's not fair. Just because you got kicked doesn't mean you can take it out on me.""What? You dare talk back to me? When have I ever dared fart in my boss's presence? Don't pretend you matter here. Get going!"After that, the rest of the men could only dejectedly start unloading the goods.Once everything was moved inside, Tiger b
"Now, now, you're my employee, but since you call me Master, I'll give you a chance. This is no easy path, Shadowless Footsteps is bitter training. The elixir will strengthen your body. Still want this?"Justin knew the perils from experience. Though coarse, Tiger was loyal. Justin didn't want him hurt.Tiger hesitated, then knelt solemnly, holding out the items. "Master, I wish to grow strong, to rise above others so none may bully me again. I don't want to remain just another petty crook.""Very well. Starting tomorrow, apply the elixir each morning during practice. I'll check your progress in one week." Justin dismissed Tiger and sorted the ingredients himself before people carried in tables, chairs, and appliances to improve the shop. He would redecorate properly later. This street food stall would be his, someday.The two girls busied themselves with Justin, while the old lady prepared skewers behind them. The rich, tempting aroma made the three youngsters' mouths water, invigora
He strode out the door, heading straight for the car. With Kyle already gone home to his wife, Justin had no choice but to get into Robert Burns' car, taking the passenger seat that Robert opened courteously for him.Robert then walked around to the other side, dismissively directing his driver to cede the wheel to him. The chauffeur gawked in astonishment - never before had he seen Robert open a door or offer to drive for another. But considering this man might save the young master's life, such exceptional treatment was understandable.Before long they arrived at the hospital. When Justin emerged from the operating room, it was already past noon. But he did not come out alone - trailing behind in a patient gown yet looking hale and hearty was Stephen Burns, as if nothing had been wrong with him at all.At this sight, everyone present froze in shock, eyes bulging and jaws dropping to the floor. The old hospital director looked especially stunned, his eyes threatening to pop out of th
