The next day, a huge tragedy struck Canopy corp. During the previous night, a group of unnamed thugs attacked two of their unleased office building projects, razing them to the ground. Just as many people were still reeling from such a misfortune, another juicy news began to circulate. Many civil engineering and construction companies in partnership with Canopy began making public declartions. According to a huge majority of them, the Robinson family were a bunch of crooks who meddled in illegal dealings, as such they didn't want to associate themselves with the Robinson family, or anything related to them. One by one, they began to annul all partnership deals with Canopy corporation. However, those with sharp eyes could notice that all these were just cheap excuses to disassociate themselves from the Robinson family. Which one of them didn't indulge in shady businesses. As such, the only reasonable issue was that the various business partners were scared of being looped togethe
The next day, Drew had just finished taking breakfast when his phone rang. It was a call from Mr. Henicky: Delta City's mayor. "Good morning" "I have good news for you Drew" Mr. Henicky's voice rang from the end. "Eh?" Drew's interest got piqued. "While I was asking around for where to buy the ingredients for my treatment, I stumbled on a juicy news" "Apparently, there is going to be a large scale Auction in North Heights. It will be hosted by Silver Eagle Auction House. From the rumors I heard, they far oustrip Red Mist Auction House. They fully dominate 50% of the Auction Market in Starling. All their items are super rare. It won't be difficult for you to find a breathing technique among the items they are going to auction off" Mr. Henicky explained. "I even heard that there would be herbs in the mix. You are a Divine Physician right? This Auction is bi-annual so if you miss it, you'd have to wait till the next six month."When is the date of the Auction?" Drew asked. "In th

The first thing Drew saw when he opened his eyes was the system's screen, showing him his latest progress. Due to the continous level ups of both his Soul and Martial cultivation, his body and mind were overexerted, causing him to fall unconscious. "Somebody must have placed me on the bed. Though I wonder who it was" he yawned ar he pushed the duvet off his body. Picking up his phone, he saw that there were eleven missed calls. 3 were from Becky, 4 were from Amelia and the remaining four from
Just at that moment, Drew's phone buzzed.. It was a call from Amelia. "Did Red Mist corporation trouble you again?" he asked after accepting the call. "No. Actually, the Patriarch of the Robinson family is currently with me in my office" Amelia informed him. "You can handle it by yourself right? you don't have to call me for such minor issues" "I know, but the Patriarch insists on meeting up with you. He wants to discuss a partnership with you in person" Amelia sighed as she revealed the reason for her call. "He wants to meet up with me?" Drew frowned. If it was any other day, he would'nt have any qualms with meeting with the other party. But Becky's life was in danger and he was about to go and save her. So, he had no time to waste. "There's an urgent matter I need to tackle over here. How about this.. Tell him to come back next week?" Drew suggested. Apart from rescuing Becky, he also had an auction to attend in two days time."Alright. I will tell him just that"
"Colton Halt" Simone Fork said to his bodyguard who was emotionlessly lashing Becky with a whip. Hearing his masters orders, Colton halted his actions. "Sigh, this lady is a beauty. Don't you think it would be a waste to hurt her when we should be cherishing her instead?" Simone stroked his chin, a lewd glint flashing past his eyes as he stared at the unconscious bleeding beauty tied to a chair. "But she's one of Drew's people if not his woman.. You.. You promised to help me have my revenge!" Sir Elon grumbled with discontent. "Which is why I said you are a small fry. You said this beauty might be the woman of that Drew guy right?" Sir. Elon nodded "Excellent. What is most greatest emotional blow to a man than watching your enemy riding on top your woman? " Simone chuckled. "Not to mention that this woman is a beauty.." "Young Lord Simone is brilliant. Why didn't I think of this in the beginning?!" Sir. Elon chuckled evilly as realization dawned on him "Tsk Tsk. Of course yo

"Hm?" Becky groaned with discomfort as she opened her eyes to see a pair of crystal clear eyes staring straight at hers. "You finally woke up" Drew smiled with relief. "How did you find me? Strange, I don't feel that much pain in my body?" Becky shot out numerous questions In one breath as she struggled to sit down on the bed. "I brewed you some medicines" Drew replied with a shrug. "You are a Physician?" Becky stared at Drew, gobsmacked. "Actually I'm a Divine Physician. I thought you must've figured it out already when I asked you to be in a lookout for herbs " Drew replied. Realization eventually dawned on Becky. Indeed, she hadn't thought much about it when Drew gave her the assignment. As a former member of the Wu Tang Clan, she viewed the Patriarch as a god-level figure. As such, she just followed his orders without thinking much about it. "Come to think of it, Elon lured me over with the pretext of delivering those herbs you asked me to be on a lookout for" Becky sighed.
"Our Motive?" Sir Elon repeated in confusion.— Is that even a question? It was to have my revenge of course!!However, he suddenly recalled that the situation was strange. With Simone's status, it was even difficult for somebody like him to strike up a discussion with the former Yet Simone had tagged along on his revenge trip back to Delta City.Not to mention that he recalled Simone claiming he was acting under direct orders from the Boss King; The Number One Individual in the Layton Mafia Family."I don't know I swear!! I just came back to this city to have my petty revenge on you. However he chose to tag along, P-Perhaps if there's any hidden agenda, he'd be the one to know" Sir Elon cried as he pointed at Simone who swiftly nodded terror - stricken, like a hen pecking on grain."Yes! Yes! Yes! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!!" Drew frowned. He couldn't help but feel that their current reactions were too exaggerated.Since they were members of a Mafia Family, he had expected them
