The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 140 The Doctor’s Desires
Dr. Sophia Baker was in the Hospital Director's office, poring over medical files. When Victor knocked, she jumped to her feet, looking as excited as a little girl. Realizing her break of character immediately, she cleared her throat and reined in the enthusiasm. "Come in…"Victor entered and offered her a thin smile. "I wanted to drop by and ask whether you were hurt in the Mayfair Lagoon incident."Sophia shrugged. "I'm alright. But why should you worry about me? I remember being asked to leave while you chose to stay behind with Claire and Haley. Apparently, they mean a lot to you. You'd be happy to die with them."Victor shook his head slightly. "Haley is not someone who listens to me, so asking her to run away would be pointless. However, Claire needed to face Derek Shepherd because he conspired to kidnap and kill her."Sophia raised her brows innocently. "Oh, I was not aware of that. I'm sorry…"Victor eyed her endearingly. She was a grown woman, a renowned surgeon at the top of
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 141 The Intoxication
Dr. Sophia's face paled as she heard Victor's appalling words. "What?! Someone poisoned you?! Do you know which chemical they used? I'll get the antidote immediately!"Victor had broken into a vigorous sweat. "I'm unsure since it was in my food and was tasteless and odorless."The female doctor felt a crippling pang of anxiety rush over her, but she made a resolute face. She wouldn't let the man she loved die before her eyes. "How did the poison enter your system?""It was in a slice of cake." Victor realized Courtney Blackwell had tried to kill him with a nefarious plan. She used Carol to lower his defenses.Based on the symptoms, it was a fast-acting chemical. An ordinary guy would probably be already dead. However, Victor was functionally immune to poisons and toxins. Even the most potent substances like hemlock wouldn't even make him drowsy. But there was something different about Courtney's poison.Sophia rifled in the medicine cabinet and handed him a vial of tincture. "This is
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 142 The Hangover
With great regret, Sophia bit her lip and bid Victor goodbye."I'll wait for you to get back and perform a diagnosis when you return,” she said, averting her eyes. “Take care."Victor turned to go, but another splitting headache paralyzed his stride. "Arghh!" His pupils contracted and expanded rapidly and then came to a halt. The man rose to his full height with a different air about him."What happened?" In the urgency to treat Victor, the beauty had forgotten to dress up and was still in her lingerie. Her beautiful assets were on full display. Victor glared at Sophia like a predator in the wild. A flame of insatiable bloodlust erupted in his eyes."Victor… Are you okay?" Sophia asked nervously. "You seem different."Without warning, Victor rushed at Sophia, slamming her into the wall. "What are you doing?" she exclaimed. "Ah!"The man smirked and grabbed her breasts roughly. "Is this what you want? Do you like it?" His voice sounded savage and beast-like.Sophia's eyes widened in h
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 143 The Damone Reunion
The news of Edgar Damone's recovery spread like wildfire. Billionaires wondered whether the Damone Industries company would make a comeback. Most dismissed the idea with ridicule."Grandpa, we'll host a party for your comeback today," Victor told Edgar. The old man was initially reluctant, then agreed on the condition that they would hold the party in a small family restaurant called Jen's Corner. It was located within walking distance of the Damone house. "Your grandma used to frequent this restaurant every week," he said with emotion. "Let's call our family and friends for a reunion."Edgar also insisted that George, his second son, be invited. Victor bore bridges against his paternal uncle. The man fled the Damone family during troubling times, abandoning his father and nephew. When Victor needed urgent cash to pay for Edgar's heart surgery, George let his wife badmouth the old man instead of offering help. However, Edgar insisted that his only surviving son be summoned regardle
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 144 Sebastian Damone
Edgar butted in. "What are you talking about? You want to date your cousin's ex-wife?"The young man shrugged in a carefree manner. "Carol is still young and probably the most beautiful woman in Springfield. She's the attraction of this rotten town."His grandfather shook his head. "You didn't have to come to this city if you considered it rotten. This place is native to the Damone family and is sacred."Sebastian waved a dismissive hand. "I don't care about that. I have a meeting with the Triumvirate regarding the Springfield Rapids Project."George and Karen gasped in unison. The Rapids Project was touted to be the biggest commercial project over the last three decades. Its urban plans would transform the city and the country, catapulting the land into the next era. However, the project's leading investor's identity was secret. He had funded the Triumvirate with billions in seed money and even invited the Blackwells. Falcon Inc., owned by Lector Damone, was the third-largest congl
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 145 Billionaire Crowd
Victor reacted instinctively and grabbed Edgar before he collapsed. He lowered the old man slowly to his seat."Are you alright, Grandpa?" He asked with concern. "Shall we rush to the hospital?"Edgar shook his head. After having a sip of water, the old man patted his grandson reassuringly. "I'm fine now… Just felt unwell for a moment.""Please don't be flustered by these people. Your health is of primary concern."Victor let Edgar go and turned to Sebastian. "Have you come here with a death wish?" His aura spiked, and his icy stare made the young man wither for a second. Reading his bloodlust, the four guards stepped forward."Shall we teach him a lesson, sir?" One of them asked, making a fist. "He seems to be asking for it."Sebastian scoffed and shook his head. "Don't sully your hands in this wastrel's blood. He's already steeped in poverty and misery. Not even this homeless woman would want to marry him. No wonder he is on a downward spiral, about to hit rock bottom in his life!"
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 146 Rejected And Ignored
The three beauties, Haley B, Rose, and Claire, stood behind Victor's seat as if they were his three wives. They touched his shoulders affectionately as if they were lovers. The man ignored their advances with his stony expression.Sebastian was so frustrated by this unexpected image that he rushed over to Haley B. "Miss Haley… I am Sebastian Damone, the CEO of Falcon Inc… You haven't been returning my calls and emails. Please, will you go out with me?"Haley eyed him as if he were a two-headed alien. Falcon Inc. was a vast company, but Sebastian himself was not a popular man, especially compared to an international celebrity. "Nah, I am not interested," she replied without even looking at him.Sebastian stepped back in shock. Did she just reject the CEO of a top-ranking company publicly in front of his family? More disturbing was the fact that Haley B, Rose, and Claire loomed over Victor as if they were under his spell. Why would they be so interested in a mere bodyguard from a loser
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 147 Edgar Tower

Victor had meticulously planned all events so that it ran like a well-oiled machine.The Springfield Rapids Project Building was renamed Edgar Tower after Victor's grandfather.
