At that, William requested, “Can I please take a look at the patient?”
Svenson smiled and said, “My daughter refuses to see a doctor, and there’s nothing I can do about it either, Mr. Barrett. So, I was hoping you could put on a disguise and talk to my daughter through a business meeting.
William frowned in response, thinking it was too complicated.
Svenson caught his displeasure and hurriedly said, “I will pay you 45,000 Talons regardless of whether it succeeds in the end. Of course, I will give you an additional reward if you can heal my daughter, Mr.
Barrett.”
45,000 Talons was a pretty handsome amount, and William decided to cut the man some slack on behalf of the money. “I’ll let you make the arrangements, then, Mr. Reynes. I’ll be waiting to hear from you again.”
“Oh, thank you, thank you,” Svenson hurriedly thanked the miracle doctor. “I’ve already arranged a room for you, Mr. Barrett. Let me get someone to show you the way.”
At that, William got up and followed a subordinate to a room on the tenth floor. Wyvern Hotel was a five- star luxury hotel, and William’s room was a pretty decent suite. It also came with a window wall that allowed one to enjoy the view outside.
However, a series of noises came from the floor above just as he sat down, and he frowned in response. Goodness, what’s with all that noise? What is that person doing up there?
With that, he raised his head and saw through the ceiling to find a steamy view.
In the room above him were a bombshell in white panties and a black brassiere, attempting challenging
moves on a yoga mat.
She had snow–white skin, her long legs made William drool, and he bet the perfectly shaped melons on her chest were at least an E cup.
It had been two years since William had any R–rated action, and his eyes shone brilliantly now that he was finally getting his first taste of it. Hence, he simply lay on the couch and ogled at the woman above.
Then, he took his x–ray vision to the next step and began drooling when he saw the magnificent view underneath the garments.
“Damn, they’re huge and fair!”
Just then, his nostril itched, so he gave it a casual rub, only to find his hand covered in blood. He actually got a bloody nose!
“F*ck me!”
With that, he quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe the blood clean. That said, his eyes never left the bombshell upstairs for even a split second.
“I’m pretty lucky today, I have to say,” the young man mumbled. “All the women I’ve encountered are hot.”
Suddenly, the desire to púll a prank came to him, and he narrowed his eyes. The next second, an invisible

Murprise. “Oh!”
Bafflement quickly enveloped the young woman’s face, but because William squeezed it so gently, she thought she had imagined it.
Meanwhile, a slight dizziness came to William after that squeeze, for what he cast was a unique ability of the third eye that he called ‘Vision Force. It was a very weak ability, and he’d have to rest for half a day after using it only once. He did a test back in prison; as of now, he could only lift as heavy as half a pound for five seconds using his Vision Force.
Just as he wanted to continue teasing the bombshell, he got a call from Genevieve, who spoke anxiously on the phone, “Mr. Barrett, my grandfather’s dying!”
“What happened?” William asked in shock.
“The doctor said his tumor ruptured, and he has major intracranial bleeding. They’re resuscitating him right now.
William’s immediate reaction was disbelief, for he had checked the tumor. It hadn’t reached a degree where it would rupture nor give the elder major intracranial bleeding. What happened?
That said, the most important thing now was to rescue the man. At that, he requested the address at once. “Ill come right away,” he said while heading out of his room.
When he arrived at the lobby, someone approached him. “Are you heading out, Mr. Barrett?”
William nodded in response. “Are you Mr. Reynes‘ subordinate?”
“Yes. Mr. Reynes said you can come to me for anything,” the man said with a smile, to which William requested, “Please fetch me a car and take me to the hospital.”
The man said no more and asked the hotel manager for a limousine service to send William to Archalon’s Archangel Hospital.
Half an hour later, William arrived at the hospital.
Meanwhile, Genevieve had been waiting outside the emergency room with bloodshot eyes, and when she saw William, she ran up to the man like he was her savior. “Mr. Barrett, please save my grandfather”
The next second, the emergency room door opened, and a doctor came out while drenched in sweat. He looked exhausted.
“How’s my grandfather, Doctor?” Genevieve asked.
“Not looking good.” The doctor shook his head.still suffering from major intracranial bleeding. We’ve
“He’s
only managed to stabilize his condition, but we can’t promise he’ll live through the night. I’m going to consult my fellow doctors now. I’ll get back to you after that.”
Moments later, a few more doctors came out. The resuscitation seemed to be over, and Ezekiel was safe
for now.
A despondent Genevieve wanted to see her grandfather in the emergency room, but the nurse inside stopped her. “You can’t see him just yet. Please wait outside.”
William, on the other hand, glanced into the emergency room at the door and found the elder lying on

the operating table with a hole in his cranium while being connected to all sorts of tubes. It didn’t look encouraging.
At that, he looked into Ezekiel’s body to search for the cause. It was then he discovered a kind of toxic substance in his blood. His third eye allowed him to distinguish various medical properties, and he was immediately certain it was poison. It was this poison that caused the major intracranial bleeding.
Then, he pulled Genevieve aside and instructed. “I’m going to give you a prescription. Find someone to prepare it right away. Also, I have to go in, or I can’t save your grandfather.”
As the young woman had utter faith in William’s medical skills, she nodded firmly and said, “Alright. I’ll tell the doctor!”
However, just as she was about to head to the doctor’s office, a middle–aged man came in. “Where are you going. Ginny?”
The outfit the man wore was worth about 100,000, and the watch on his wrist was worth millions of Talons. Moreover, he had a somewhat sinister temperament that made one uncomfortable.
“Uncle, this is Dr. Barrett, the one who saved Grandpa on the train,” Genevieve answered at once. “I’m going to ask the doctor to let Dr. Barrett take a look at Grandpa.”
“Nonsense!” the middle–aged man reprimanded grimly. “You’re not a child anymore, Ginny. How can you still be so naive? How can you trust a charlatan? What if your grandfather’s condition worsens because of your foolish actions? Can you shoulder the blame?”
To that, Genevieve rebutted anxiously, “But Uncle Abraham, Dr. Barrett is really”
“Enough!” interjected the man. Tell him to leave immediately. We only need professionals here!”
Meanwhile, William had been gazing at Genevieve’s uncle, Abraham, and found a hint of aversion in the depths of the latter’s eyes. But why would he hate me when I don’t even know him?
“I’m so sorry. Mr. Barrett, Genevieve apologized with embarrassment.
“Don’t worry about it,” said William plainly. “Since I’m not welcomed here, I’ll be taking my leave.”
With that, he headed out, and Genevieve immediately chased after him.
Midway, William turned into a stairwell and instructed the young woman, “Think of a way to distract your uncle and the nurse while I sneak in. From what I can tell, your grandfather has been poisoned.”
Poisoned?! Genevieve jolted, then fell into a ponder. Very quickly, she nodded firmly. “Alright, I’ll see to it right away! I leave him at your mercy now, Mr. Barrett!”
William waited at the spot for a moment after Genevieve left. He knew Ezekiel’s poisoning wasn’t as simple as just an accident. However, it had nothing to do with him. His job was just to save the elder.
It wasn’t after a minute passed that he walked out of the stairwell, and sure enough, there wasn’t anyone in sight. With that, he slipped into the emergency room, where Ezekiel lay connected to various tubes on the operating table, on his last legs.
After taking a gander and pondering for a moment, William pulled out a dozen or so golden needles and inserted them into Ezekiel’s cranium one by one. At the same time, William inserted his Force into Ezekiel’s body to increase the latter’s chances of surgaying.

About half an hour later, he looked toward the door as he heard approaching footsteps. It was Genevieve with the medicine.
At that. William hurriedly opened the door, took the medicine from her, and said, “Stand guard outside, will you?”
Genevieve nodded and went to stand guard. If the nurse returns, I will bug her and buy William time!
Back in the emergency room, William poured the medicine down Ezekiel’s throat after he was certain it was safe. Naturally, the elder couldn’t swallow, but it didn’t stop William from doing it; he sent the medicine into the elder’s stomach using his Qi, and it was a smooth process.
With the medicine now in Ezekiel’s system, coupled with the effects of acupuncture, the elder gradually came around, and William was the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes. “Did you save me again, my boy?”
“Someone poisoned you, sir. I’ve given you the antidote,” said William. “However, your condition is still bleak. You’ll need to recuperate for some time.”
Someone poisoned me?! A hint of shock and anger flashed across Ezekiel’s eyes, and he closed his eyes to ponder for a moment before saying. “Thank you. This is the second time you’ve saved me. Please get Ginny for me. I want to talk to her.”
William obliged at once, patting Genevieve’s shoulder and telling her to go inside. He didn’t want to be a part of it, so he waited outside.
Minutes later, Genevieve’s uncle returned, and he flipped out when he saw William. “Why are you still here?! Leave now, or I’m calling the police!”
“There’s no need to,” William said plainly. “Old Mr. Ford has awoken.”
