Chapter 8
The Greatest Man Alive
Everyone was stunned while watching Nathan count down.
âWhat is he doing? How dare he curse the mayor!â
âHeâs in great trouble, and even Mr. Walter wonât be able to protect him. Mr. Hopp is furious!â
âLook at Mr. Sanders; his face is so dark. This brat offended him greatly!â
When Nathan blurted out the last number, Gerard suddenly covered his chest, and his face turned dark. Soon, he yelled and fell unconsciously on the chair.
âHelp meâ¦â Gerard stretched his hand hard and shouted the last two words to Nathan.
Carlos was terrified and frozen. He hurriedly gave first aid to Gerard, but nothing worked out. After a while, Carlos was covered in a cold sweat.
lf this medicine really caused Mr. Hoppâs death, he would never be forgiven!
âThis rarest herb is an excellent tonic, and your medicine is perfect. But Mr. Hopp canât drink this medicine because he doesnât have a disease. Therefore, this tonic could actually kill him,â Nathan explained.
Everyoneâs expressions suddenly changed. They didnât expect this young man to be a better doctor than Carlos.
Carlos cleared his throat and said, âYoung mister, can you help Mr. Hopp?â
âIâm not interested,â Nathan said.
He had just said that Gerard would die if he took that medicine, but Gerard didnât listen to him.
Why would he help now?
Carlos hurriedly said, âSir, I was very reckless just now, so I said something rude⦠If you could cure him, please help me. I will be very grateful.â
âMr. Hopp has been conscientious over the years and made great contributions to the development of Mimar. He is a pillar of society. Would you please give him a chance to live?â
Then, everyone started to beg Nathan to cure Gerard.
Miller also smiled. âMr. Nathan, they didnât know you are capable, please donât mind them and help Mr.
Hopp. l have many projects that require Mr. Hoppâs policiesâ¦â
Nathan walked to Gerard and kicked him in the chest.
Gerard was kicked to the wall, and then he spewed out some blood and the medicine he just took.
âHow dare you! You donât want to cure Mr. Hopp and even hit him?!â Gerardâs bodyguards were all furious and prepared to act.
âStop!â Gerard suddenly felt energized again, he shouted angrily and made everyone stop.
Carlos was extremely shocked. Gerard looked pale after spewing the black blood, but his voice was loud and firm. It was apparent that he was nearly cured.
Gerard coughed. âHe is saving me, not hitting me!â
Carlos hurriedly walked to the side of the black blood, picked up a bit with a piece of paper, put it under his nose, and smelled it, then, he said in shock, âPoisonous?!â
âGood for you to notice it⦠Yes, itâs poisonous, and the poison is not ordinary,â Nathan glanced at Carlos in surprise.
A notorious guy in Devendill Prison created this poison, and it could kill anyone unnoticeably.
âMaster Evans, please accept my gratitude!â Gerard bowed to Nathan.
Nathan nodded and said, âAll right. Go back and recover gradually. Donât forget to be very careful with your food.â
Gerard nodded with a flash of coldness in his eyes. He should indeed investigate the people around him after he returns.
Carlos walked up to Nathan in embarrassment and smiled. âMaster Evans, your medical skills are extraordinary. Iâm sorry that l was so rude to you⦠I hope you can give me a chance to be your student. I want to follow you to learn medical skillsâ¦â
Everyone froze when they heard Carlosâs words. As one of the countryâs most famous doctors, he was asking to be Nathanâs student!
âMaybe next time,â Nathan refused without hesitation.
Miller smiled. He knew Nathan had such a unique character that nobody dared to provoke him. Each of those vicious prisoners of Devendill Prison could become a countryâs nightmare, but they were still obedient when they saw Nathan.
In sudden, Nathan received a call from Hannah.
âNathan, someone is forcing Natalie to drink. Get over here now and pick her up, you bâstard! The Johnson family will never forgive you if something goes wrong!â Hannah roared.
Nathan asked for the address and hung up the phone, and then he asked Miller to send him there immediately.
He and Natalie were a couple. Even though nothing had happened between them, he couldnât watch the others bully her.
After being kicked out of the Evans family, Nathan still remembered that the Johnson family helped him and his dad. When he was very upset, Natalie gave him a lollipop. Until now, he could still remember the sweetness of that lollipop.
Meanwhile, Natalie had already drunk a lot of wine. Her eyes were blurred, and her pretty face was blushed, revealing an irresistible charm. Hannah sat next to her worriedly.
âMr. Fisher, Iâve drunk these three glasses of wine. Can you repay the 20 million you owe my company?â Natalie asked.
A small leader of the Negino Commerce, Pedro Fisher, sat on the chair with a smile. âYouâve had three glasses, so Iâll repay you 3 million.â
Natalie was stunned. âYou fooled me?!â
Pedro said in surprise, âMs. Natalie, of course not! I said I would pay back the money if you drank, but I didnât say how much.â
He suddenly put a bottle of wine on the table and said, âIf you drink the whole bottle, Iâll repay your 20 million at once!â
Natalie tried hard to blink. It was already a disaster for her to drink three glasses, she wouldnât be conscious if she drank the whole bottle.
She shook her head and said, âMr. Fisher, I really canât drink anymore. Forget it⦠Just pay me the three million first!â
âSince you are here, how can you not drink? You must drink even if you donât want to!â Pedroâs eyes flashed coldly, and he said with a wicked smile.
He opened the wine bottle, and the pungent smell made Natalie want to vomit.
Hannah hurriedly said, âMr. Fisher, please⦠Natalie really canât drink anymore!â
