"What gave you the guts to interrupt this matter?"

"Does the matter at hand look like a joke to you?"

The doctors bombarded Michael with millions of questions. Their faces all looked angered.

They had never noticed his existence in the ward until he spoke. With the look of things, they could tell he was a beggar trying to impress the billionaire.

What was a poor boy like him doing around Lucas in the first place? This question gave them all a striking headache.

"The health of Miss Wellington is more important than these questions."

Michael walked forward to the doctor. "Miss Wellington's illness needs a quick intervention. If we allow time to pass without making good use of it, it might be too late to amend the damage."

However, the doctors remained close to the patient. They didn’t see Michael as someone who knew what he was saying.

"Hey, boy. You have no idea what you're talking about," Dr. Ric waved his hands in the air in disagreement.

"What does a person like you know about treat

    Michael's face changed instantly. Cynthia's organs were already overworking, which had led her into this condition.What else would a stimulant injection do to her body if not increase the workload of all her organs?Michael couldn't wrap his head around the doctor's inability. If he has no solution to the problem at hand, why complicate it?Dr. Cletus was angry about how Michael challenged his professionalism. Then he stared at Michael from head to toe and asked again,"Who are you? I'm sure you're not a doctor.""Who I might be doesn't matter. What matters is that I have a better understanding of the patient's illness." Michael's voice was turning cold.Dr. Cletus's eyes turned red, and he glanced at Dr. Ric.Seeing his red eyes, Dr. Ric understood what that meant. Michael had just called Dr. Cletus an unprofessional doctor. That was a great insult to an advanced doctor like him.Then he quickly pleaded with him, "Dr. Cletus, please don't take this to heart. Once the patient's illne

    "Quiet!!" Lucas snapped at them.All the doctors went silent except Dr. Ric, who still had an objection."This is the 21st century, Mr. Wellington. No treatment approach allows taking advantage of the patient. This is sexual assault!""If you mention a word once more, Ric, I will make you regret your existence." Lucas was enraged.Dr. Ric folded and maintained silence."I'm so sorry for the interruption, Mr. Quinn. Please continue with the process," Lucas urged, and then he continued.Cynthia's eyes were half-closed, and she could see Michael. If she had had the strength, she would have stopped the pauper from touching her body.The doctors were still in a daze from Lucas's agreement to Michael's perverse act. If healthiness wasn't very important, they saw no reason the billionaire should give a chance for such.Michael had a close look at the lady's chest, and he could see how her heart was pounding so fast.The dude closed his eyes tightly, then he gathered some energy in his left p

    The next morning, Michael's phone began to ring. He took a look at it, and it was Vivian calling. He was able to see the caller because he had a new phone now.Last night, when Lucas saw how damaged his previous phone was, he gave him a new and expensive one."Hello, Miss Noah," Michael pressed the phone to his ear as he accepted the call."There's a problem, sir. There are some thugs at the entrance of Skyline. I don't know what their mission is," Vivian explained in panic."Thugs?" Michael was taken aback."Hide yourselves in a very safe place. I will be there in a minute," Michael assured her, and the call ended.Immediately after the call ended, the thugs barged into the restaurant, causing quick disorder. The customers nearby were scared to death and quickly hid under the tables.All the workers fled for their safety except Vivian, who was caught inside. She stood a bit distant from the thugs.Her breath paused when she saw how heavily armed the thugs were. They had crowbars, bas

Their health hadn't been fully restored to fight the number of thugs running toward them now.However, none of them backed down. They remained steady on their feet.Just then, a wave in the shape of a person appeared and drifted into the midst of the thugs. In a flash, bodies and weapons were seen falling to the floor one after the other."Whump!!"The last thug fell to the floor, making the whole ground look like a battlefield.A terrific wind blew, and total silence took over the atmosphere.Blade and his boys were utterly stunned when they saw who had come to their rescue.

    After the Spencer Gang left Skyline, the restaurant became peaceful.All the mess was cleared, and the usual day-to-day business continued.Also, Blade and his boys had reported to the hospital for treatment.Michael was in his office, sitting in the owner's chair, while Vivian was sitting before him, looking a bit exhausted.Thanks to Michael, who came to their rescue, she couldn't imagine what might have happened to her today.Silas Spencer is a merciless thug; he would have made her visit hell while still on Earth.Some moments later, Vivian was able to pull herself together. Then, she began to explain her plan to resolve the restaurant's crisis to Michael.Skyline Restaurant has been suffering from losses over time now, which was due to Jack's mismanagement.While the discussion was ongoing, Vivian suddenly paused and began to gaze into Michael's eyes. Michael noticed this and called on her attention."Is there... any problem, Miss Noah?" he asked.Vivian smiled, "Mr. Quinn, why a

    Vivian turned to look at Michael, and she felt disappointed with Clara's leaky mouth.Then she stammered in response, "Ehnnm..." She was confused about what to say.Instantly, Clara cut in, "It's alright, Vivian. I understand completely. You shouldn't expect anything else from a low-paid driver like him."Vivian's face frowned immediately. If she had not known Clara's bad attitude for a long time, she would have slapped her face right away.How dare she disparage the man who made her earn ten million dollars in a few minutes?She was enraged.Vivian glanced at Michael again, but he didn't look angered or annoyed by the insult.Clara felt the silence between the two was quite awkward. To rejuvenate the atmosphere, she quickly brought up something different, "So, Vivian. Why are you here?"Vivian cleared her throat, "I used to know Avalon Estate as one of the best housing estates in the city. I don't think it's a bad idea to have a comfortable home here.""Oh! You do have an interest in

    Clara's gaze shifted in the direction Vivian was pointing, and her eyes fell on Michael.A disdainful look appeared on her face immediately, and she stared at the young man from head to toe.Her face tightened in a frown as she looked at Michael's faded shirt and old jeans.A forceful smile appeared on her face, and she turned to Vivian, "This is business hours, Vivian. Why didn't we pick another day for jokes?""Come on, Clara. Do I look like I'm telling a joke?"Vivian's reply made Clara squint. She wanted to understand her better."Mr. Quinn is the one purchasing the property. He will be very glad if you can recommend a building better than this."Vivian had not finished her speech before Clara cut in, "Come off it, Vivian!!"Vivian was taken aback to see her friend's eyes turn red. What was wrong? she wondered."What do you take me for, Vivian? Why do you have to waste my precious time fooling around? Do you have to take advantage of our friendship so senselessly?"Vivian was sile

    'Four hundred million dollars! That's a huge amount of money!' Vivian felt a chill in her mind at the sound of the price.Taking another look at The Gold Homes, she couldn't deny the fact that it was worth the price.A wave of relief washed over her when she remembered that she wasn't the one paying for it, but the billionaire.Then she turned to Michael with a smile, "These mansions are extremely beautiful. Which of the three will you be taking, sir?"Michael nodded casually. "Yeah, they all seem beautiful. But none of them meets what I want."Vivian's eyes widened in surprise. She found it difficult to understand Michael this time.She wondered if these stunning buildings didn't meet his expectations, then what could?Vivian remained silent as she watched Michael walk over to Winifred.He looked into the young lady's eyes and said, "I understand that you are new in this line of work. But you seem ambitious and industrious."Winifred swallowed as she watched the movement of Michael's

    Joe's eyes flashed with anger. Sam just brought right before his nose, the guy he never wanted to see anymore. However, Sam wasn't at fault. It was Joe who had told them to respect whoever appraised the alexandrite earlier.Joe's cold glare shifted from Sam to the box on the table. His eyes squinted at a stone with a unique pink color and brilliance. Instantly, the elderly man felt a change within him as a thought struck his mind.Then, he dismissed Sam.Joe exchanged a glance with Stephanie as he asked Michael, "What's the problem with the gemstone?"Michael cleared his throat and replied, "Mr. Collins, I want to suggest that you keep this precious stone personally. The gemstone has the chance to continue to add value and become of great profit in the future."There was silence in the office. Joe shifted his gaze between Michael and the gemstone.Even though his curiosity was piqued at the mention of future profit, he didn't want to make it evident.Although he was the one who bough

    The elderly man, dressed in a well-tailored suit, walked forward majestically. His breathtaking aura took over the place, and there was total silence."Welcome, sir!""You are welcome, sir!" the attendants hurriedly greeted him.Joe raised his hand to stop them, and they remained in their spots.Just then, Joe's eyes met Stephanie's. "Welcome, Uncle Joe," Stephanie greeted politely, surprised to see him walk in at a perfect time. "My beautiful Stephanie. You didn't inform me of your visit."Stephanie smiled slightly. "I'm sorry for not informing you earlier. I didn't plan it; it just happened. I know you're happy to see me, anyway.""Of course, yes. I'm happy." Joe was beaming with excitement.Then, he turned to look at his attendants. Reading their faces, he could tell that something unpleasant had occurred.He then asked Stephanie, "Who among the attendants provoked you?"Irene's face turned ashen as Stephanie pointed at her.

Stephanie was surprised that Irene, who had claimed to be omniscient earlier, could become so humble.To cover up the shame, Irene quickly suggested, "Miss Collins, since you have an interest in this collection, let me reach out to my colleagues for assistance."Stephanie agreed, and Irene called on two of her colleagues.The young ladies came forward, and Irene asked, "Miss Collins would love to know about this collection of rare stones. Does anyone of you have any information about them?"Just as Irene had done, the ladies' eyes were fixated on the collection, staring at it for a long moment.Stephanie finally cleared her throat to break the deafening silence.The first lady spoke up, "I have never come across this rare collection in my entire career."The other lady confessed too, "Since we couldn't help, I believe Sam Trevor should have some information about them."

    Stephanie was surprised that a gemstone gallery was Michael's choice. She was expecting him to mention places like a nice hotel, a beachside, and the like.The fact that this young and handsome man beside her was always unpredictable doubled Stephanie's interest in him."Uncle Joe's gemstone gallery?" she asked again, and Michael nodded in affirmation.Stephanie didn't argue with him since that was his choice. She kickstarted the car engine and said, "It's alright. Let's go have a look at some rare and natural stones."Michael replied with a slight smile, and the car drove off.It was a silent trip throughout the journey. In about a couple of minutes, they arrived in front of a commercial complex.Stephanie led the way in, and Michael followed. Soon, they entered Joe's gallery. It was a very big space that looked elegant and stunning.Even though the gallery was not yet launched, there were a few attendants there.They all quickly welcomed Stephanie as soon as they saw her and ignored

    Michael was still fast asleep when his phone began to ring the next morning.After the call rang a second time, Michael's eyes sprang open. He rubbed his temples as he felt a slight headache. His body was heavy, and his mind was as blank as a sheet of paper.The call came through again, and he slowly checked his phone screen—it was a call from Stephanie.Michael picked up the call, and a soft voice came from the other end of the phone. "Good morning, Mr. Quinn.""Good morning, Miss," Michael responded, half-asleep."I'm so sorry for disturbing you so early. I was worried that you left the party unannounced yesterday."Michael exhaled softly as he replied, "My bad. An urgent matter came up."Stephanie didn't argue with him. "I thought as much too."Then, there was a moment of silence at both ends before the lady asked softly, "I don't know if there's a possibility that we will meet again?"Michael smiled slightly. "Of course, yeah.""Really? When is that? Today? Now?" Stephanie teased.

    Michael's eyes turned red as he watched the cab disappear into the night. He swallowed hard, suppressing his anger. Then, his phone chimed.His gaze fell on the screen of his phone, and it was a message from Fiona. He hesitated for a moment before opening it."I wrote this text with my mind deep in regret and frustration. I feel so overwhelmed with guilt that I can't stand whatever punishment awaits me.If my punishment should be measured by the gravity of what I have done, I know I do not deserve to live. But I'm using this opportunity to plead with you to genuinely forgive me.I have left the irritant spray and the antidote behind. Probably one of the items might be useful. With tears in my eyes, I will be leaving Silvana City tonight."Michael sighed. He looked behind him and found the two items there.He felt disappointed that Fiona concluded her judgment by herself without knowing his intention.This time, Vivian, who had frozen in shock, was able to walk up to Michael.

    Blade went closer to his boy in concern and asked, "How are you feeling now?"The dude's skin color had gradually returned. He looked so relaxed as he nodded, "I feel better."Meanwhile, other staff still had their eyes fixated on Michael. They were trying to fathom how he had gained such incredible power. He used to be that worthless guy in the past. In just a short period, he had become someone of limitless wonders.The truth was that Thunder didn't lose his life earlier. Blade misinterpreted the situation. The dude passed out due to a loss of strength, which caused a pause in his breathing.However, Michael's mind was still more concerned about the other victims of the incident. He couldn't imagine what their situation could be at that very moment.Then, he asked Thunder, "For you to intensely lose your strength, I guess you had a large portion of the meal?"Thunder slowly shook his head in disagreement. "I didn't eat any meal; I was just around the diners. Suddenly, we all began t

    The day was already dark as Michael drove to Skyline Restaurant at top speed. Within a couple of minutes, he arrived at his destination.Michael's mind went blank as he saw the entrance of his restaurant in a disorderly state.Half-eaten snacks and different kinds of meals were littered on the floor.An eerie odor welcomed his nostrils as he entered the dining space. The vacant dining tables and chairs were all disfigured with colored vomit.The imagery of what had happened flashed in Michael's mind, and he swallowed hard.Raising his head, he saw all his staff running around in frustration."What's going on here?!" Michael asked hastily in anger.All the staff froze in their tracks as they heard his voice."Welcome, sir.""Welcome, boss," they all rushed to him."I thought I asked a question earlier?" Michael snapped at them.A quick silence swept the floor as they exchanged glances of confusion.Given how angered Michael looked, one of the staff hurriedly spoke up."Yes, sir. Trade

    They were all stunned by the order.Kim hurriedly fell to his knees and pleaded, "Mr. Quinn, I beg you, don't let us do this. Silas Spencer is my boss. I dare not fight him."However, Silas looked very interested in the fight. "Forget about who the boss is. The order is to teach ourselves some lessons." Silas lifted Kim to his feet.Kim was still in the middle of confusion when Silas aimed an attack at him. Kim's eyes widened in fear as he hurriedly stepped backward to escape it."Oh, wow. That seems perfect," Silas commented.Kim was doing his best to avoid the fight before Silas charged at him again.Unfortunately, Kim was unlucky this time. The sharp sword had torn into his shoulder before he made a move."Argh!!" he cried in pain as he watched blood oozing from his body.Austin was stunned seeing the scene. He couldn't explain what was going on and was more confused about what to do.The more blood streamed from Kim's shoulder, the more his anger escalated.He thought his boss wan
