The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation

Chapter 7: The VIP Patient

Anthony and his team went pale, seeing how Damian managed to knock the guard down in one move. Damian snapped his neck and looked at Anthony with a smirk, obviously mocking him.

“What are you doing, you stupid fools? Attack him!” Anthony exclaimed.

“Yes, Sir!”

A total of five guards went to Damian. They surrounded him, making sure that Damian would have nowhere to run—As if Damian had plans to escape.

“Are you ready, you prick?” one of Damian’s opponents asked before placing himself in a fighting position. He looked muscular and tall, and usually, people who see him would be scared in a second, but not Damian.

Damian, instead of being intimidated, just smiled wickedly before fixing his stance. He placed both his hands in his pocket and stood up straight. “Then, try me.”

“We’ll beat you to a pulp!”

The five guards attacked him simultaneously, but Damian only dodged all the attacks, still his hands were in his pocket. Damian wasn’t attacking back, making Anthony laugh.

“Why aren’t you fighting back? Are you afraid?” Anthony asked, his voice condescending. “You should have listened to me from the start. We wouldn’t have ended like this if you just left quietly.”

Of course, it was a lie. He would gladly beat Damian to death for the sake of his career and for his reputation, too. Someone like Damian could not humiliate him just like that.

Damian didn’t answer. Instead, he remained focused on his opponents. All of them had different skills and body builds, so Damian was studying all of them one by one. 

He observed every detail, and as soon as he could predict their next moves, that’s where Damian started fighting back.

“W-What the—Ugh!”

Damian’s moves were simple yet precise. His every punch and kick was critical. Damian knew all the vital points to paralyze his opponents, and he used that to his advantage.

In less than one minute, all the guards were lying down, groaning in pain. And Damian? He’s just standing casually in the middle, making Anthony step back involuntarily.

“What the fuck? W-Who are you?” Anthony asked, slightly stammering as he didn’t see anyone as good as Damian in fighting before.

“Let me tell you. I’m not a beggar.” Damian massaged his head, controlling his emotions. “Wait. Did Carson report me as one?”

“How dare you call him by his name?!” Anthony asked in disbelief.

“Why can't I? He's a bastard,” Damian answered casually.

He left the hallway and went to the other side, ignoring Anthony who continued following him but did not make any single move to attack. Damian smirked, knowing that Anthony had become afraid of him.

He didn’t know where he learned those moves, but it seemed like his body knew what he was doing, so Damian followed it.

A few minutes later, he finally found the doctor’s room written in the note given by Thaliana. Damian was about to go there, but he turned around, confronting Anthony first.

“What if I really have an appointment, and I can prove it?” Damian asked, causing Anthony to raise a brow. “Can you take the consequences of what you did for today? Can you afford to lose this job?”

“You? Having an appointment here?” Anthony looked at Damian from head to toe. “You can’t even buy an expensive shirt. How can you afford to pay the fees?”

Damian only shrugged. Looking at how close-minded Anthony was, explaining everything to him would be a waste of time. “Your bad attitude will make you lose this job. Believe me.”

“No one can fire him without my permission.”

Damian and Anthony looked at the other side and saw Carson approaching them. Anthony greeted him, while Damian remained silent. He didn’t even show any sign of fear in front of Carson.

“Anthony has worked in this company for five years. He does this job well by dealing with paupers like you.” Carson said and looked at Anthony after. “Why is this beggar still here?”

“He… He beat all the guards, Sir,” Anthony explained, avoiding Damian’s gaze. “I think he is a skilled fighter.”

“Nonsense. How could a man like him be a skilled fighter? He won’t have the money to pay for the lessons.” Carson shook his head. “Maybe you didn’t train your people enough. Is this how you pay me for backing you up?”

“I-I’m sorry, Sir.” Anthony bowed his head in shame.

“Leave. I’ll deal with this myself.” Carson said, and Anthony obliged. He looked at Damian. “Tell me the truth. What are you doing here?”

“I have an appointment,” Damian answered, getting impatient now.

“Appointment? Do you even know where you are?” Carson sneered, his lips full of disdain. “This hospital is exclusive for the rich. Some rich families even couldn’t afford to book an appointment here because of the expensive fees…And you’re telling me you have one?”

“Yes,” Damian answered without hesitation. “Then, would you leave now? I’m already late for my appointment.” He raised the paper in his hand, and Carson pulled it.

“Room 498, Doctor Raine Anderson…” Carson read what was written in the paper. “Are you serious? Raine is the greatest dermatologist in the country. What made you think you can afford to have an appointment with her?” he sneered.

‘Maybe leaving Thaliana outside isn’t a good option,’ Damian thought. ‘If she’s here, I’m sure she has done something for Carson to leave me alone.'

“What are you thinking? Are you embarrassed now because I caught you lying? ” Carson asked, looking at Damian disdainfully. “Well, coincidentally, we have the same doctor. Should I ask Raine if you really have an appointment with her?”

“Go ahead.” Damian shrugged.

Suddenly, the door from one of the doors opened, revealing Jennica, Raine’s secretary. “Everyone, there’s a VIP patient that Doctor Raine needed to assist first. Thank you for your understanding.”

“I’m the VIP patient she’s talking about,” Carson smirked, thinking how humiliated Damian would be later on. “Be ready to be thrown out, you fucker.”

Carson went to the door, but strangely, Jennica was staring at Damian with her brows furrowed. “I’m here now. Where’s Doctor Raine?”

“I’m sorry, Sir. But you need to wait first. The VIP is our main priority for now,” Jennica explained.

“I know. It’s me—”

Carson wasn’t able to finish his sentence as he saw Damian approaching. He was about to mock Damian, but Jennica suddenly approached him.

“Greetings, Sir Damian. Doctor Raine is already waiting for you," said Jennica in a polite tone, shocking everyone in the hallway.
