My Doctor Son-in-law, Clarence

Chapter 173: Black Tiger Kill Order

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Clarence looked at the malevolent-looking tiger’s head drawn in blood. “Black Tiger kill order? What’s that?”

Everyone looked at each other. After Julian learned about the kill order, he had rushed to Thirteen Hall from his home.

Bill’s expression was very solemn. “The Black Tiger kill order is Dom’s executing order. Dom has only issued nine of these orders in his life, so this is the tenth.

“Among the nine kill orders, there’s been one for a millionaire from one of the provinces in this country, one for a super capitalist overseas, and one for a formidable gang leader from overseas.

“None of them could escape. Everyone on Dom’s list has ended up dead.”

Bill looked at Clarence. “Master Howard, you’re not Dom’s rival. You saved my father and sister, but there’s no need for him to put out a kill order on you. Even if he’s targeting my family for taking away his territory, he has no reason to put out a Black Tiger kill order on you. Why you?”

Bill was confused.

He was not the only one. Everyone else was confused too.

Even though Clarence was skilled at medicine, at the end of the day, he was just a barefoot doctor.

He was not a ‘somebody’ and he did not have conflicting interests with anybody in Mediterranean City.

Why did Dom want to kill him?

Wasn’t this making a mountain out of a molehill?

This was akin to a dragon wanting to kill an ant all of a sudden, and pulling out the most extreme methods to do it.

Julian approached him with a serious voice. “Is it because of Leah?”

Clarence chuckled. “He’s so determined to kill me.”

Clarence knew there was a high chance that the people from the consortium were behind this.

Was this move something he was capable of refuting?

Did those people think he was able to fight Dom with his current power?

Clarence stopped overthinking. He asked someone to get rid of the blood and dead bodies.

After that, he continued his business as if nothing had happened.

When the Reeds saw this, they were stunned. This guy had such a steely heart.

Did he not know what a Black Tiger kill order meant?

Kate could not take it anymore. She reminded, “Clarence, you should hide now. Why are you still walking around without a care in the world?”

Julian nodded. “Clarence, go to my place. I have a secret hideout in my villa, it’s thirty meters underground. Its design is based on the architecture of air-raid shelters, so even a nuclear bomb wouldn’t be able to do anything to it. I have everything inside, and everything you need in your day-to-day life should be in there. You should hide in there for some time.”

Clarence smiled. “Every problem has a solution. I can’t keep hiding. Since he wants to kill me, we’ll allow it. I’ll go on with my life as normal, I want to see what he’ll do to me. Plus, didn’t you say that the previous nine who were marked with the Black Tiger kill order all ended up dead? Why should I hide, then?”

If the enemies were to hide in the dark, then Clarence would have to stay in the light.

If he kept hiding, he would never know when and where Dom would strike.

Rather than feeling worried and scared, why not make sure everyone saw him?

Clarence wanted to see how Dom would kill him!

The two old people from the Reed family looked at Clarence with admiration.

“Not bad. You’re bold, kid. There’s no use in hiding. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, Dom will still find you.”

Kate was anxious. “Uncle Pete, Uncle Norm, it’s Dom we’re talking about. Are you sure Clarence will be fine if he stays here?”

Pete Reed laughed, clutching onto his beard. “Even though Dom is invincible, he only does sneaky things like assassination. Do you think he really has the guts to catch someone in broad daylight?”

Norm Reed said flatly, “There are rules in the martial arts industry. If Dom dares to ask his killers to rush into Thirteen Hall to kill Clarence in broad daylight, do you think the Martial Arts Association will let him get away with it?”

Julian looked at Clarence. “They’re right. Even though Dom is invincible, he wouldn’t dare to do anything in broad daylight. As long as we get our people to keep an eye out, you should be fine.”

Thirteen Hall continued business as usual.

Julian and the Reeds pretended to be patients sitting in Thirteen Hall.

There were also more than a dozen undercover people around them.

Bill and Kate hid on a roof beam, watching their surroundings closely.

Meanwhile, Pete and Norm pretended to be old doctors who were packing medicine.

Clarence looked at twenty to thirty patients in the morning. Nothing special happened.

Kate’s charming face was filled with curiosity. “Is Dom going to just let this go?”

Bill shook his head. “He won’t. Even if Dom doesn’t take action in the morning, he might do it at night. We can’t let our guard down.”

Kate nodded and looked at Clarence, who was treating the patients. “I hope he can make it through this. I don’t want to see him dead.”

After Clarence looked at the last patient of the morning, it was closing time. Clarence’s phone rang.

Selina smiled as she said on the other end of the phone, “Master Howard, thanks to your medicine and your skills, my father is much better now. My dad asked me to send you his regards. So, do you want ten billion dollars in cash, or do you want our stocks?”

“Stocks?” Clarence was surprised.

Selina nodded. “Yes, stocks.

“The Lawsons issue a lot of stocks overseas. Not only do we have stocks in Port Island and the Americas, but we also have them in Europe. Our stocks have been rising for the past few years, so if you get a stock worth ten billion dollars, its value might rise to fifteen billion or even twenty billion in a few years.

“It’s a transaction that will only give you profits and not losses.”

Clarence simply smiled. “No need. I want cash.”

“Um… Okay, we’ll try to get you the cash, then we’ll transfer it into your account.” Selina hung up the phone hurriedly.

In the new villa the Lawsons had bought in the suburbs of Mediterranean City.

Bob smiled softly. “My dear, I was right. I told you he wouldn’t want stocks and he’d still want cash.”

Selina was a little unconvinced. “Why not? Our stocks have been rising for the past years. In three to five years, the stocks he holds will definitely be worth more than ten billion. Does he not know how this works?”

Bob shook his head. “Stocks are good, but at the end of the day, they’re in our hands. If Clarence takes the stocks, it’s hard to guarantee that you wouldn’t do anything to lock his stocks in the stock market. Let’s not talk about three to five years. I can promise you that once Clarence takes our stocks, you definitely won’t let him cash out the value of the stocks.”

It was as if Bob had seen through his daughter. “Even if it wasn’t ten billion, and you had just given him a hundred billion, the stocks will just be waste paper in his hands, right?”

Selina’s face was red as she looked at her father in surprise.

She had indeed been thinking about doing such a thing.

Initially, she had promised Clarence ten billion.

However, after Bob recovered, she started feeling some hesitation.

If she did not give him the ten billion, what could Clarence do to her family?

After thinking about it, Selina realized that Clarence could not do anything detrimental to her family.

However, because of Leah, Selina did not dare to go back on her promise. Thus, she decided to give him empty stocks worth ten billion.

Who could have guessed that Clarence would not fall for it?

Selina was unconvinced. “Dad, I think this kid has never seen money before, so that’s why he didn’t choose the stocks.”

Bob shook his head. “You’re wrong. He considered exactly what you considered. It’s not that he has never seen money before, he’s actually just far-sighted! He saw through your cheap tricks.”

Selina had an expression of disbelief. “Dad, even though that kid is great at medicine, he’s still a barefoot doctor at the end of the day. He can’t be that far-sighted, right? I think he’s just money-grubbing, that’s why he thinks it’s only useful to have cash in his hands.”

Seline was genuinely looking down on Clarence.

Bob frowned. “Do you really feel that way?”

The woman nodded.

“Sigh…”

Bob sat in his wheelchair and sighed. “Mr dear, you’re still so short-sighted. Do you think Clarence is money-grubbing?

“Do you think a money-grubbing person would be able to learn such amazing medical skills at such a young age?

“Do you think a money-grubbing person would know the people in charge of the top three families in Mediterranean City and have them siding with him?

“Do you think a money-grubbing person would be able to make Leah show up and solve the crisis plaguing Thirteen Hall?

“Do you think a money-grubbing person can sit in his clinic to examine patients and not fear the killer that could show up at any moment, after learning that Dom Gambini has put out a Black Tiger kill order on him?”

Selina had a look of astonishment on her face. “Dad, what did you say? A Black Tiger kill order?”

Bob nodded seriously. He had received the news early that morning. “This morning, Dom put out a Black Tiger kill order on Clarence.”

He told Selina what had happened outside Thirteen Hall. “That kid is steel-hearted, worldly, and far-sighted. He’s playing dumb to take advantage of Dom. So, Dom might not actually be his rival.”

Selina exclaimed, “No way! Dom isn’t Clarence’s rival?”
