The Billionaire's Supremacy

Part 6

Edward just smiled and said nothing. He did not want to speak carelessly before building up enough pseudo-background.

A minute later, the payment was successful, and Kieran rushed off to take care of the house papers after exchanging phone numbers with Edward.

[Ding! Mission completed. Congratulations! You obtained 10 Domination Points and an advanced Healing Touch Skill.]

This time, Edward had prepared himself. He knew that the System notification would ring in his mind. However, the Healing Touch Skill completely amazed him. If the ability of this skill matched his prediction, would not he become the greatest doctor in the world? This skill was simply too heaven-defying!

Edward tried his best to hide his excitement. It was undeniable that the first thing on his mind was to cure Emily's grandfather, but Edward felt the need to sort out a few things first.

Because this transaction took place in front of the reception desk, Edward finally got his membership card. In York city, Edward became the second person to become a gold-level member of the Poseidon Club.

"Welcome to the Poseidon Club, Mr. Edward. We will send the gold card to your address within 24 hours."

Edward nodded and went outside with James.

James asked, "Where are you going now? Your new home?"

"No. I bought that house just to exchange it for a Poseidon Club membership card."

James froze. Is this the world of the real rich, he wondered.

Edward continued, "James, can I count on you one more time?"

James hit his chest twice. "Just say it. In this city, there are only a few things that I can't do."

"It's not a big thing. I just want to build a company."

James stopped walking. His face was super serious as he expressed his thoughts. "I know now. Your family must have asked you to seek experience without involving family connections. And because of your status, they certainly won't let you lack money. Am I right?"

Edward was flabbergasted. Wasn't this guy thinking too far?

However, Edward decided not to deny it. Having a mysterious identity was still better than nothing after all.

"Think of it like that. So? Can you help me?"

James fell into deep thought. He could have invited Edward to meet some influential people, but if he chose this way, he would have no further advantage.

James said, "Tomorrow is my sister's birthday, and our family is having a party at Arial Hotel. How about we go together? I'll introduce you to my father. I'm sure my father has a broader view of this."

Edward was delighted. The Hurley family was very influential in York city. If he had a connection with the head of the Hurley family, it was basically the same as opening one street with many branches.

"I'll take your advice."

"Okay. Where do I pick you up?" James was the most excited person here. He would make a great contribution to the family if he could establish a close relationship with Edward.

"Give me your number. I'll call you."

Edward and James went their separate ways. Once at the hotel, Edward asked the System about the Healing Touch Skill. Apparently, this skill could 'only' heal internal diseases and external wounds, but could not neutralize toxins or repair organs that had been damaged by age.

Even so, Edward was not sad at all. Emily's grandfather has lung cancer. Edward was confident that he could heal him with his newly acquired skills.

The next morning, Edward intended to visit Emily's grandfather, but since he was going to pass by the Shennan Boutique, he decided to stop by. His purchases had not been delivered yet, so he wanted to give them his address.

However, Edward frowned when he saw an uncomfortable scene. In front of Shennan's boutique, a beautiful woman was surrounded by several thugs.

Edward recognized her. She was one of the cashiers of Shennan Boutique who was very beautiful in his eyes, Brenda.

As Edward approached from the direction he had come, one of the thugs said, "My dear Brenda, have you forgotten what day it is?"

Brenda's face was deathly pale. She looked terrified as she replied, "I haven't received my salary yet. Please give me a few days."

The man laughed sarcastically. "We both know that your salary will not be enough to pay off your father's debt, whereas it is due in 6 days. Do you know if you fail to pay it off? Not only will we foreclose on your house, but your father will also receive other consequences. My dear Brenda, are you ready to lose your father?"

Brenda shuddered in horror. She knew that these people were capable and ready to commit such atrocities.

After a moment of silence, Brenda sighed and decided, "Fine, I'll meet your boss if I fail to collect the money, but tell him that he must keep his promise."

Brenda had tears in her eyes, but she tried to stay strong. She loved her father very much even though he was not a good father.

During this time, there were many men who were interested in Brenda. Some of them even used sneaky means. It was just that Brenda had been able to take care of herself since working at Shennan's boutique, as her salary was enough to keep her from depending on others. But this time, Brenda did not know what to do but give up her virginity.

The leader of the thugs laughed out loud, happy with Brenda's decision. "Don't worry. As long as our boss is satisfied with your service, your father's debt will be considered paid off. It's just that last night your father owed us again, so it seems you'll have to pay more."

Brenda was wide-eyed at that. More or less she knew what these people wanted. "I'll pay him with money. Please wait a few more days."

Brenda's legs felt weak as she spoke, and her vision began to darken. When she was about to fall, someone suddenly appeared and hugged her waist.

"Don't worry. I'm here."

Brenda turned her head only to see a handsome man, and she was shocked after realizing who it was. "Mr. Edward?"

Edward nodded before speaking to the leader of the thugs, "How much? I'll pay."

Brenda flinched, and shook her head vigorously. "Mr Edward, you don't have to do this. I---"

"After this, you owe me. At least I won't charge you periodically." Edward understood Brenda's worries, so he took this step.

Meanwhile, the leader of the thugs stroked his chin. He had an idea after seeing Edward's appearance.

"Sixty thousand dollars including the interest," he said.

Brenda looked angry. "What? Sixty thousand dollars? Didn't we only owe thirty thousand dollars?"

The leader of the thugs smiled wickedly. "Didn't I tell you that your father owed another debt last night?"

Actually, Brenda's father only owed ten thousand dollars, but the leader of the thugs wanted more money after appraising Edward.

Furious, Brenda released herself from Edward's embrace. "Mr Edward, please don't give in to his wishes. We only owe thirty thousand dollars."

How could Brenda not be worried? Even if Edward would not charge her regularly, where would she get sixty thousand dollars from?

Edward replied in a calm manner, "Send me the account number."

Worried that Edward might change his mind, the leader of the thugs immediately sent his account number, and after the payment was made, the group of thugs left with faces filled with joy.

Brenda bowed and spoke respectfully, "Thank you. I'll try my best to pay it off in the near future."

Edward chuckled. "I'm not short of money, so if you're willing, you can pay in another way. What do you think?"
