Robert grimaced with anger. He did not intend to escalate the situation, but Xayne was overbearing.Robert was a member of the Ambani family, with significant influence and connections. Their status rivaled that of top-tier officials in Drakonia.‘How dare a mere Shalholm mayor treat me so poorly? His attitude will lead to a bleak future in his political career. The Ambanis’ reputation precedes them. They’re highly protective of their own.’The Ambanis had handpicked Robert to serve as the appointed president of the Shalholm Medical Association. Kenneth would defy the family and oppose the former mayor by firing Robert without proper protocols.Kian Lively, the former mayor of Shalholm, had received a promotion and became a Secretary in the capital, meaning he held significant power and authority.‘How can a mere mayor go against Kian’s wishes? That would resemble wanting to resign from his own position. Also, the Ambanis have strong support from Stephan. Who would dare disrespect

Kian’s ears perked up at the sudden change of voice. He frowned as he demanded, “Who is this?! Where’s Kenneth? Put him on the line, now!”Xayne said coldly, “No need for that. You’ll be speaking to me from now on. Remove Robert from his position. If you disagree, I’m afraid I’ll have to remove you from your position as well.”Everyone in the lobby gasped. Xayne’s words shocked them and sent a chill down their spines.“Is he out of his mind? How can he remove Mr. Kian from his position?”“Mr. Kian is the Chief Secretary of South Rivera province. He’s so well-connected that most try to curry his favor.”“There needs to be a vote from the prominent officials in the provincial capital to remove Kian from his position. Kian might just be the next capital governor.”Robert, Caspian, and Wyatt were astonished when they heard Xayne’s outrageous claims. However, their shock soon turned into sneers and mockery.Robert burst into laughter and said sarcastically, “That’s impressive, kid. D

Boom!Theodore’s statement shocked Kian as he lay limp on the ground. His eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Mr. Theodore, you must save me! I’ve always been your loyal subordinate. Please, you can’t treat me like this.”However, Theodore ignored Kian’s wailing and waved for the armed guards to take Kian away.Soon, a vehicle from the supervisory department appeared before the city hall. The staff got out and loaded Kian into the car, capturing the attention of journalists who immediately broadcasted it as breaking news.Back at the hospital lobby, Robert looked smug as he sneered, “Kenneth, you should apologize to Mr. Kian as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’ll lose your position as the city’s mayor.”Kenneth scoffed before putting his hands behind his back and composing himself. He retorted, “You can’t intimidate me, Robert. I’ve led an upright life and have never done anything that goes against my conscience.”Robert laughed and said, “Fine, you may be upright, but you dared to re

Xayne’s cold and indifferent response urged Joseph to rush to Shalholm to see who was on the other end of the call.‘This bastard is arrogant to disregard me, the head of the Ambani family. People know me as the Miracle Healer, damn it!’“My friend, though I don’t know much about you, the fact that you know Donovan and Kenneth suggests you possess some authority. It’s better to resolve conflicts than to escalate them. Why don’t we discuss this?“Why resort to drastic measures that lead to death or injury? My family will owe you if you release Robert and the Hugos. If you and your family encounter future troubles or illnesses, feel free to seek my help. Does that sound good?” Joseph persisted.However, to his surprise, Xayne remained silent momentarily before saying, “You make a compelling point.”Joseph could not help but smile faintly at his response. The former walked around his yard, saying, “Of course. I’m a medical practitioner myself—”Before he could finish, Xayne interrup

Cold sweat formed on Joseph’s forehead when Stephen ended the call.‘How could I have known that Xayne is the King of the North who saved my master’s life? I-I’ve just offended the King of the North!’Joseph felt like he had dug his own grave and hurriedly called Robert.Meanwhile, Robert and the other two mocked Xayne, Kenneth, and Donovan, “You were way too arrogant! Joseph might be one of Stephen’s apprentices, but he’s also a renowned doctor in Tandu. People know him as the Miracle Healer!”“Yeah, he treats high-ranking officials and mayors. He even has connections in Drakonix. You must be delusional if you think you can contact Stephen,” Robert’s voice dripped with sarcasm. Although he thought his life was over earlier, he had regained his confidence.Caspian and Wyatt added, “Hahaha, that’s right. This guy needs to know his limits. He shouldn’t force himself to be something he’s not, or he’ll get a harsh reality check. You guys are done, especially Xayne and Kenneth.”Xayne
