Chapter 118: Your Daughter Can Still Be Saved

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Clarence had had drinks with Julian the previous night, so he woke up late the morning after.

It was already eight o’clock when he opened Thirteen Hall’s door.

Just like yesterday morning, two people were standing still at Thirteen Hall’s entrance. One was Gunther, while the other was River.

“Master Howard!”

When they saw Clarence open the door, it was impossible to tell who was more excited than the other.

Clarence glanced at both of them. “You came.

“Come in.”

.

“Yes.” Gunther and River dared not waste time.

One wanted Clarence to help restore his internal energy for martial arts, and the other wanted Clarence to help cure his illness.

Clarence was about to sweep the floor. Gunther rushed forward. “Master Howard, let me help you.”

Clarence glanced at Gunther and nodded. “Okay.”

After handing the broom and dustpan to Gunther, Clarence headed toward Thirteen Hall’s entrance.

River lunged forward and grabbed Clarence. He was a little panicked. “Master Howard, you said you would help me with my illness. Where are you going?”

“I haven’t had my breakfast. Do you expect me to give you treatment on an empty stomach?” Clarence looked at River.

River smiled a slight smile. “What would you like to eat?

“I’ll get it for you.”

The head of the Food and Drug Administration was utterly respectful.

“Alright.”

Clarence did not hold back. “I want Campbell Soup Shop’s mushroom soup and an Old MacDonald’s bagel.

“Also, a sandwich and a soy latte from Aunt Leslie at the corner of the street.

“Remember, 30% sugar for my soy latte.”

“Alright, got it.” River rushed out of Thirteen Hall as fast as he could.

He was back in less than twenty minutes with what Clarence had wanted.

Clarence took his time eating breakfast.

Gunther and River waited for Clarence, not saying a word.

Clarence finished his meal, took out his handkerchief, and wiped his mouth. “Who’s going to go first?”

“I’ll go first!” River was enthusiastic. “Master Howard, I’ll go first.”

“Okay.”

Clarence got up, walked over to River, raised his hand, and slapped River thrice. Gunther was left dumbfounded at the sight of it.

“Alright, you can go now.” Clarence waved him out.

River thanked him frantically. “Master Howard, thank you. I’ll be back tomorrow.”

“Now, it’s your turn.” Clarence sauntered over.

Gunther smiled sadly. “Master Howard, the way you give treatment is truly miraculous.

“If you can help me restore my martial arts abilities, you can slap me however you want.”

Clarence knew that Gunther misunderstood him. He shook his head in amusement. “River has eaten too much meat and fish, which has caused the accumulation of toxins in his body. He may get hemiplegia, so I’m trying to detoxify him.

“Why should I slap you when I’m only restoring your internal energy?”

“I don’t need to be slapped?” Gunther was delighted.

Clarence pointed to a bamboo bed not far away from them. “Lie on that.”

“Okay.”

Gunther quickly lay down on the bamboo bed.

Clarence went over, pulled off Gunther’s clothes, and inserted several silver needles into his stomach.

That time that Clarence crippled Gunther’s martial arts abilities, he had not completely crippled his pubic region. He had only blocked Gunther’s meridians.

Gunther could regain his powers whenever he unblocked his meridians.

Clarence only inserted three needles before Gunther felt heat surge through his pubic region. He was excited!

“Alright, your internal energy should be restored now.” Clarence removed the silver needles.

Gunther fell to his knees in elation. “Thank you, Master Howard. You’re my second parent.”

Clarence helped Gunther to his feet. “I’m no second parent. I was the one who blocked your pubic region.

“I blocked your pubic region because you wanted to hurt me.

“Now that we have nothing against each other, I’ve unblocked your pubic region, so we’re even.”

Gunther got up, nodded silently, and stood aside.

Clarence ignored Gunther and went behind the counter to clean up.

Trevor and Greyson were absent today, leaving Clarence to clean up after himself.

About half an hour later, Clarence found Gunther still standing there, as stiff as a log. “Why are you still here?

“There’s nothing else wrong with you, your martial arts abilities have already been restored.

“You can go back now.”

Gunther quickly replied, “Master Howard, Mr. Julian told me to protect you from now on.”

“Protect me?” Clarence was a little surprised.

Gunther might not be the best martial artist, but he could easily take on a dozen to twenty ordinary people by himself.

‘Julian asked Gunther to protect me?’

“Yes, Mr. Julian said nothing could happen to you, even if I had to die.” Gunther nodded solemnly. Clarence could tell he was serious.

Clarence shrugged. “I’m only running a small business which has not yet open for business. I can’t afford to pay you.”

Gunther paused, shook his head, and said with a smile, “You’re kidding me, Master Howard. Mr. Julian pays me every month, so you don’t need to pay me.”

“Master Howard, help!” Suddenly, a panic-stricken voice came from outside Thirteen Hall’s entrance. Master Williams came rushing in with a girl of about twelve or thirteen.

A middle-aged couple was behind him. They were presumably the girl’s parents.

Belle and Melody had also followed them into Thirteen Hall.

Clarence told Master Williams to lay the girl down on the bamboo bed. “What happened?”

Master Williams’ face was red. “I was incompetent. I prescribed her the wrong medication.”

The girl’s mother swore. “You quack. How dare you call yourself Master Williams?

“We came here out of admiration, and you killed my daughter.

“Pay for my daughter’s life!”

The girl’s mother rushed forward and scratched Master Williams’ face.

Master Williams did not move nor fight back.

With red eyes, the girl’s father went forward too and pulled his wife away. “That’s enough. Luna has heart disease, and the doctor said she wouldn’t make it past twelve years old. I should have seen this coming.”

The woman turned and roared, “Are you still human?

“This is our daughter!

“How can you be so calm? Aren’t you capable? Go and kill him. Avenge our daughter!”

The man’s face was grim as he grabbed his wife without uttering another word.

Belle quickly said, “You’ve said it yourself. Your daughter has heart disease.

“It wasn’t Humanity Hall that had a medical accident.”

Melody nodded immediately. “That’s right. It’s not our responsibility.”

The little girl’s heart had stopped beating in Humanity Hall, and it was already too late to go to the hospital.

It was important for Belle and Melody to disassociate themselves from her right now.

Clarence ignored them. He walked over to the bamboo bed and took off the girl’s clothes.

Like a startled tiger, the girl’s mother lunged forward and slapped Clarence in the face.

Slap...

“What are you doing? My daughter’s dead, yet you’re desecrating her body?!

“You brute!”

The woman’s eyes were red as tears welled up in them. She was emotionally unstable.

“How dare you lay a hand on Master Howard?” Gunther’s face darkened. He was about to take the woman down.

Clarence shook his head and asked Gunther to back off. He did not argue with the frantic woman. “Your daughter can still be saved. Are you sure you want to waste precious time?”
