"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
Toliva sighed, sensing the rising panic and urgency in the meeting room. "Actually, I have already found a solution" he finally said. "Huh" he instantly became the center of attention. "I managed to strike a deal with Dremelia Investment Group. They plan to buy all our assets and in return we become their subordinates.. meaning we get to have their protection" "No. I refuse to accept that!" a member of the Robinson Family stood up in rebellion. He was a member of Toliva's late father's generation. In the whole family, he was one of the oldest surviving members. Even Toliva had to respectfully refer to him as Uncle Harry. "The Robinson Family has existed for years. We were one of the earliest settlers of this City. Even the Vlad family cannot compete with us when it comes to history. Dremelia Investment Group barely has a year of history in this city. Although our Robinson Family has fallen, it is not to the point where we have to become Subordinates to such a power" Uncle H
The next day arrived in a jifty. Placing a call across to Amelia, Drew informed her of his journey to North Heights to attend the large scale Auction hosted by Silver Eagles Auction House. "I've heard of that company. It occupies an even larger market when compared to Red Mist Corp, even though the latter had more history than the former" Amelia remarked. "You should be careful. North Heights is an uncharted territory. The number of experts and their level of power is not something those in Delta City can compare" Amelia warned. "Tch. Should you be bothered about me? You should be worried about yourself. What if that Assassin strikes again or if Red Mist Corp targets you again?" Drew laughed. "Hm. You are right. Though I doubt that would be happening " "Eh?" "The Auction hosted by Silver Eagles Auction House is bound to be a large scale event. Even the Patriarchs of the Great Families in the City will either attend or send their envoys. I doubt whoever is behind Red Mist Corp wi
"Brat. Do you know who I am?" Larx frowned."You are the Patriarch of the Lukas family" Drew shrugged."And you dare talk to me in that manner?!" the frown on Larx face deepened, a terrifying pressure gradually emanating from him"It hasn't gotten to that extent" Mr. Henicky hurriedly spoke out to soften the tense atmosphere.He was afraid that a conflict might break out between the two parties. One of them was his long time friend and the other was a talented junior with an unknown background who was also the key to treating his illness."Tsk. Tsk. How low can you bring yourself to be to the point you were about to attack a junior" Jarin chuckled in a taunting manner.Taking a deep breath, Larx gave Drew one last long look before no longer paying him any attention."Alright. Since that's settled, let's get in our way now. The Auction is going to be held tomorrow. I fear that if we don't hurry, we won't be able to book any hotels " Mr. Henicky warned. Walking out from the garden, the
Silence.. "Only one?" Mr. Henicky frowned, appearing worried. They were currently four in number. A single room wouldn't be able to contain them. "Yes Sirs. All the rooms are fully booked" the Receptionist shrugged helplessly. "If that's the case, I'll find somewhere else" Drew volunteered. "Hmph. At least you are able to read the situation" Larx snorted "Are you sure? I mean isn't this your first time in the City?" Mr. Henicky asked Aiden with a worried expression. "I'm mean, we can all share the room while my chauffeur sleeps inside the limo" "It's okay. I have my ways. Not to mention I am afraid a certain somebody wouldn't accept sharing a room with me " as Drew said this, his eyes fell on Larx who snorted in response. "Nick just let it rest. Drew is a talented junior. Perhaps he has a way" Jarin spoke up. After a bit, Mr. Henicky finally gave in Walking out of the Hotel premises, Drew frowned. Although he sounded confident back there, only he knew he had no way to
"What a shock , I never expected to see you again" Drew remarked with surprise. He was currently at the driver area of a black sedan. Besides him was Tom. However unlike the last time he saw her, she was clad in female clothes, leaving her feminine charms in full display. Tom was a Medicine genius Drew met in the past back in Delta City. At that time she was posing as a guy and managed to successfully fool everybody. Due to a series of disagreement, the both of them had a little spar and Drew ended up coming out on top. That was when he discovered she was a female posing as a male all along. Apparently, the girl he saved ended up being her younger sister named Rosalie. "What happened? why did you discard your manish dress up" Drew asked curiously. "Sigh.. a lot of things happened but it's fine. Don't bother about our problems" Tom bit her lower lips as she replied. Drew frowned. He sensed that there was something going up with Tom but since the other party didn't want to ope
That evening, the Mick family had dinner alongside Drew. When Tom's father joined them for dinner, Drew used the opportunity to size up the other man. Caleb Mick as that was his real name didn't look anything like Drew had anticipated. He didn't have the overbearing personage befitting of a former military officer. Instead he looked just like a regular old retired salary man clad in track suits and limpid eyes. His face was pale and his body skinny with his cheeks bones protruded forward like there was not enough flesh to cover it up. "Hm? Who's this young man?" Mr. Caleb asked after he sat at the dinning table and noticed Drew's presence. "Dad! He's Big Sister's friend..." Rosalie actively chimed in as she explained how they met. "So you are the Individual who once defeated my daughter back at Delta City?" Mr. Caleb nodded with acknowledgement. "Before that incident, Tom prided herself in her medicinal skills causing her to become conceited. But after the defeat she suffered
