After placing the wounded woman on the bed patients rested in, Clarence removed her clothes. A magnificent view appeared in front of him.
The wounded woman looked like she was in her thirties, but she was at least an 8. Hence, she was a rare beauty.
She had a great figure and curves in all the right places.
Gender was irrelevant when it came to a doctor treating their patients.
Clarence did not have any evil thoughts. At one glance, he saw that the wounded woman had a horrifying scar on her chest. Her muscles had been split open and her ribs were displayed for the world to see.
âHiss! Master Howard, is this her fatal wound?
âThis doesnât look like sheâs been hit by a car. She looks more like sheâs been slashed by a knife.â Master Williams inhaled sharply.
That wound was too horrifying. Not a lot of people could handle looking at it.
Clarence shook his head. âThis is not her fatal wound. Her fatal wound is inside her body.
âHer meridians were broken, and more than 100 bones in her body were broken too. Her heart has also exploded, so she was only holding onto life with the air in her lungs. Itâs such a miracle sheâs not dead.â
Master Williams had a heavy look on his face. âIf thatâs the case,?letâs call the cops.
âIf she dies here, we wonât be able to explain ourselves.
âItâs too late.â
Clarence quickly took out his silver needles and stabbed the meridians in her body to stabilize the energy she was losing. âIf you call the cops now, sheâll die.
âIf I take action now, we still have a chance to save her.â
Master Williams looked at Clarence in shock, âMaster Howard, can you save such a heavily wounded person?â
The woman in bed had stopped breathing.
She had no heartbeat either.
From what Master Williams could see, she was already a dead person.
âYes.â
Clarence nodded. He did not have the time to pay attention to Master Williams. He stabbed a few more silver needles into the woman to stabilize her life.
Then, to Master Williamâs surprise, the womanâs chest started to rise and fall. She was alive.
âYou should get out first. Iâll save her myself,â Clarence ordered.
Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture could not save her anymore, so he could only use the power from his necklace with a cross.
Master Williams did not dare dilly-dally. He quickly exited the room and watched the door, making sure that no one could disturb Clarence.
Clarence frowned, lowering his head to look at his necklace with a cross. The green light inside it was weak. âI hope this green light can save you.â
Clarence held the cross as he held the womanâs hand, trying to slowly repair the damage in her body.
Half an hour later, Clarence walked out of the room.
Master Williams quickly asked, âMaster Howard, how is she?â
âSheâs fine. Sheâll wake up in about two to three days.â Clarence shook his head. He was a little tired after using the power of Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture and the necklace.
âIâll go take a look.â
Master Williams walked into the room. Less than 5 seconds later, Clarence heard a scream. âAhh! What are you doing?â
Clarence placed his teacup down and sped to the room.
The woman had evidently woken up. She was holding Master Williams hostage, one of her hands bent into the shape of a tigerâs claw as it held his throat. She examined her surroundings vigilantly, which included Clarence since he had just entered the room.
âWho are you?
âWhere am I?â The womanâs voice sounded hoarse and angry.
Clarence shrugged. âMiss, you ran into our clinic to ask me to save you.
âNow, youâre holding the apprentice of your savior hostage. Do you think this is appropriate?â
âHeâs so old. How can he be your apprentice?â The woman did not believe him. Then, she suddenly understood. âYou saved me?â
Clarence spread his hands out. âYeah, duh.â
The woman shook her head in disbelief. âHow can that be possible? How could you have saved me?
âI was hurt by Dom Gambini and all my meridians were broken. I lost all of my accomplishments, and I also broke more than a hundred bones.
âDomâs last tactic, the âblack tiger stealing the heartâ, immediately crushed my heart. How did you save meâ¦â
The woman had a taunting look on her face. She thought that Clarence was lying.
However, halfway through her sentence, her body shook violently. She let go of Master Wiliams in disbelief. âHow is this possible? Iâm⦠completely cured?
âMy broken meridians are all fixed. Even my bones are connected again. My heart⦠is also fine?
âImpossible. This is impossible. I must be dead. Iâm in hell, right?â The woman widened her eyes and looked at Clarence in terror. It was like Clarence was the guardian of the underworld, here only to mess with her.
Clarence sighed. âI saved her, but sheâs gone mad now.â
The woman glared at Clarence. âWho are you calling mad?â
Clarence looked at the woman helplessly. âMiss, youâre not dead, and Iâve cured you. If youâve not gone mad, you can leave now.
âOh right, according to the prices of Thirteen Hall, itâs 20 bucks to clean your wounds, 30 bucks for the acupuncture, 50 for reconnecting your bones, and your heart⦠Hmm, Iâll just charge you 30 bucks for that. Thatâll be 130 bucks. Please pay the bill to my disciple.â
After Clarence finished saying that, he turned around and walked back into the hall of Thirteen Hall.
The woman was left standing where she was, completely dumbfounded. He had saved her life, but he was not demanding an exorbitant fee from her. He only wanted 130 bucks?
About ten minutes later, the woman came out of the room and looked at Clarence, who was eating breakfast on the chair. âWere you really the one who saved me?â
Clarence ate his porridge and chomped on his toast. He did not even lift his head. âDuh.â
The woman shook her head decisively. âI donât believe you.â
âWhatever.â Clarence did not want to explain himself, anyway.
âYouâ¦â
The woman widened her eyes in anger. She thought Clarence would have explained himself, and she had not expected him to not offer her any information. She took a deep breath. She did not want to stoop down to Clarenceâs level. âTell me which master saved me. Ask them to come out, because I need their help.
âWhen that happens, not only will I pay them 130 bucks, but Iâll pay them 1.3 million, 13 million, or even 130 million. There wonât be any problem with that.â
Clarence scoffed. âOh, youâre so petite, and yet youâre so confident.â
âWhat did you say?â
The woman frowned, immediately coming to her senses. She looked at Clarence as if she wanted to devour him alive. âYou saw everything, didnât you?â
Clarence placed his toast down. âMiss, if I hadnât seen it, how was I supposed to treat the wound on your chest for you? If I hadnât saved you, youâd be dead now. Do you think you can still scream at me right now?â
Clarence rolled his eyes. âIf I had known that this would have happened, I wouldnât have saved you. Now that I have, youâre mistaking my kindness for ill intent.â
The woman frowned, still standing her ground. She looked at Clarence in disbelief.
She still did not believe that Clarence was the one who had saved her. However, what Clarence said just now did not make it sound like someone else had saved her.
Had the old man from earlier saved her?
At that moment, Master Williams brought a backpack with bloodstains over. âMiss, is this yours?â
When the woman saw the backpack, she quickly walked up to it and grabbed it from Master Williamâs hands. Then, she held it tightly against her chest. âDonât touch my things.â
Clarence was annoyed. âMiss, that backpack fell in front of the entrance of Thirteen Hall before I saved you. No one came looking for it even after an hour, so what could be inside it? Do you need to be so worried about something even a beggar doesnât want?â
The woman huffed as she checked the contents of the backpack. âWhat do you know? This is even more important than my life.â
She looked through the backpack and made sure that nothing was missing before she let out a sigh of relief.
She rolled her eyes and looked at Clarence. âWere you really the one who saved me? Did you restore my broken meridians?â
Clarence rolled his eyes. He did not want to answer her anymore.
The womanâs eyes lit up, and she grabbed Clarenceâs wrist. âCome with me!â
