*****“Has he caused damage to your body?” The doctor hurriedly inquired upon hearing the old man and seeing the look on his face.The old doctor appeared excited again as though that was the best news he would ever hear in a long time. As for the crowd, who like the doctor failed to hear what the old man had previously said to his granddaughter. they became quiet and didn’t know what to think, also assuming that Mark had done something wrong to his body, based on the expression on the old man’s face. However, in response to their question, the old man glanced in the old doctor’s direction, then his eyes became filled with coldness. “And you were furious about being called a quack doctor? Are you not a quack doctor now if you can't even know my current condition after being my personal doctor all these years?” “What?” The old doctor was dumbstruck upon hearing the ridiculing words thrown at him.As for the crowd, they gasped, but the old man didn't stop, instead, he continued matt
***** “Where is my fucking money?” With eyes that had turned slightly red like those of a beast, the driver, a middle-aged man, going towards seventy yelled at Mark and glared fiercely at him. “I…” Mark was thoroughly nervous. “But I swear to God that I had money on me earlier, I have no idea about where I could have misplaced it.” He became utterly helpless. He thought hard, recalling all the processes of receiving the money earlier from the site. Mark was one hundred percent certain that he had put the money into his pants pocket. He quickly checked the pocket again, hoping upon hope that he was the one who hadn’t checked well the other time, however, he only ended up finding nothing. Suddenly, Mark’s heart skipped slightly in his chest upon feeling an aura that made a subtle adrenaline crawl down his spine. He quickly raised his head, only for him to see that the face of the middle-aged man was already filled to the brim with aggressiveness. And just then, Mark saw the other
*****“Plate number?”Although everybody was able to see that the owner of the car wasn't ordinary, given how expensive and scarce the car is, they don't give a damn, particularly due to how there were a lot of wealthy people in the city and how the driver had driven roughly, which had awoken their anger.They however went quiet after feeling the great shock in the voice of the person who had just yelled and finally, all heads turned in the direction of the car that had just parked a few steps beside them now, and all gazes went toward the plate number. In the following moment, however, all the eyes that saw the plate number went completely wide with both shock and fright. “The Jackson family?” Their hearts thundered in their chests and their mouth opened. Just as everybody was wondering if their luck was really that great, that they had chanced upon a member of the powerful family, the two front doors were opened and two men in black suits rushed down to go open the back door. “
***** “My ears are not working properly again, right?” Someone in the crowd finally dipped his forefingers into his ears after a moment of shock, breaking the deep silence that had permeated the place. Everybody was startled back to their senses when they heard this person, and then they all also started cleaning their ears, as though it were their ears that hadn’t worked.Well, who could blame their current action? The Jackson family, as previously mentioned was one of the most powerful families in Rex City. Apart from being the most powerful family, it owns one of the biggest real estate companies in the city. Just by knowing a single person from the family, the life of a person is going to change completely, as there is no way you wouldn’t become wealthy by knowing them. It was even rumored that every single worker of the family, from the gardener to the cleaner was wealthy in their own ways, each owing cars and their own house. Recalling all this, the crowd, despite realizi
*****(Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!) As though their hearts were trying to run away from within their chests, the crowd’s hearts pounded loudly, but they failed to notice, as their now tear-filled eyes were now stuck on Mark, giving him massive pitiful, and pleading gazes. Tears had even begun to leave the eyes of many of them.Seeing this, Mark couldn’t help but smile sadly while clenching his fists tightly, the veins there budging out. ‘Is this what power and money could do?’ He thought, recalling how the crowd had treated him before the old man’s arrival. In fact, he might have even been beaten till the point of fainting if not for their arrival, and now… [What is this bit of power and wealth with the system around? The host only needs to work hard and everything will soon become yours. Strength, wealth, fame… mention it.] Mark’s heart skipped a bit in his chest when he heard the sudden female-robotic voice that had a human feeling to it, instead of a robotic one as it sounded. Mark
*****Mark’s heart was frantically pumping in his chest at this moment, as he ran. His blood had turned cold and he was feeling a great nervousness and goosebumps upon himself. If there was anything called pain, Mark was no longer feeling it. No, it wasn’t that his pain had disappeared and was no longer there, but rather, Mark’s mind was too occupied right now that it couldn’t register another thing. ‘Please work!’He prayed with everything he had in his mind, looking extremely scared even on the surface. After what finally appeared to be an eternity to him, Mark got to the ward in which his mother and sister were admitted. He stopped for a second outside the door, to calm his raging mind as much as he could, then he wiped away the big beads of sweat that had covered his face which immediately oozed out massively again as though he didn’t touch them. After all this, Mark inhaled and exhaled heavily again before eventually, feeling even more nervous than when he tried to calm his
*****“Will you watch where you are going?” The person whom Mark knocked into snapped at Mark in an offended manner.“I…” Mark hurriedly glanced back and wanted to apologize when his words became stuck in his throat the following moment. “Mister.” The person called out, a slight smile replacing the furious scowl on his face as he recognized Mark at the same time Mark recognized him. It was the doctor who had attended to Mark when he was in the hospital the other time. “Sir Doctor,” Mark blurted out. “I entered the ward just now to check on my mother and sister, but I was informed that they’ve been moved out of the ward. Please what’s going on? Which ward are they moved into now? Or is their operations already going on?” “Huh?” The doctor gazed askance at Mark for a second, then a mysterious smile appeared on his face as he shook his head, appearing as though he had just heard a funny question. “Mister, have you paid the money which I told you to go and bring? The $200,000 for the
***** “This…” Gazing dumbly at his front like someone who had seen the most shocking thing of his life, Mark couldn’t react at this moment.His lips opened several times and he wanted to say something, but he only ended up repeating one word with deepest disbelief on his face. Mark was terrified to the core and beyond words, seeing where his mother and sister had been dumped. He didn’t even know why he had failed to notice the area upon his previous two entries and exit, as it was just too glaring and obvious, with the people who needed treatment filling the place As the doctor had told him, the place was the waiting area, one corner there, and right now, his mother and sister, including several other patients were lying on the tiles, some people completely unconscious, some already dead, and some people constantly groaning in deep agony. There were even a few who were praying in deep anguish for death at this moment. Even when Mark was told by the doctor that his mother and si
