“Doctor Flynn, I want you to come to my office after this. There’s something we need to discuss,” Calvin said.It was Flynn’s turn to swallow hard. In that hospital, Calvin was known for being strict in enforcing hospital rules. He wouldn’t hesitate to impose heavy penalties on those who violated regulations, regardless of whether they were a senior doctor or not.So when Calvin asked him to come to his office, with a look full of fire like that, Flynn knew he was in trouble. Now he was worried, wondering how severe the punishment would be.‘Will I be fired? Hopefully not,’ he thought.Still with the same gaze, Calvin turned to Magnus. He said, “You too, Sir. I ask you to come to my office, because I need to talk to you as well. I hope you don’t mind.”Magnus shrugged. “No problem. But before that, since there are witnesses here—my siblings and the nurse—I want to collect the promise from this incompetent doctor,” he said, turning to Flynn.Flynn glared at him. His posture was defensiv

“But, sir, about the problem I mentioned earlier...” Flynn looked worried.“You don’t have to worry about that,” said Marco. “I won’t let them prevent you from performing bone surgery on my son. If necessary, I’ll buy that hospital and get rid of the people who are threatening your position.”Flynn’s eyes instantly sparkled. If the leader of the Barbosa family had given him such assurance, he no longer needed to worry. And if Marco really bought the hospital, that would be even better for him. He could ask Marco to promote him to hospital director, replacing Calvin....At the hospital, in the ER...A woman lay on the operating table. An oxygen tube was attached to her mouth. Her face was pale.Calvin entered, wearing surgical scrubs. Magnus followed behind him, also wearing surgical scrubs.The nurses and other doctors who were already prepared near the operating table glanced at Magnus questioningly. Calvin said that Magnus was also a doctor who would participate in the emergency sur

“Huh? What did you say?!” Marco stared at Krystal Lim in disbelief.“I said, you have to surrender your life to me if you really want to take this hospital from me,” Krystal Lim stated.“Fuck off! You’re fucking insane!” Marco snapped.Magnus raised an eyebrow and smirked. Witnessing the expressions of Flynn and the Barbosa family at that moment was amusing entertainment for him. But this wasn’t the climax. The game had just begun.Why was Magnus so sure? Because back in the ER, Magnus had explained everything to Krystal Lim. Naturally, since Magnus played a crucial role in her surgery earlier, Krystal Lim felt indebted to Magnus. What she was doing now was one way she was repaying that debt.“That’s my offer. It’s final. If you object, then please leave my hospital,” Krystal Lim said firmly.Marco snorted, looking at Krystal full of rage. This woman dared to challenge him as if she possessed immense power. Did she come from one of Merseyvale’s wealthiest families? Probably not. Becaus

The next day, at the Merseyvale police headquarters, around ten o'clock...In his office, Frank sat biting his fingernails. This pathetic gesture was certainly unbecoming of the Chief of Police of Merseyvale, but he couldn't help it; what he had experienced the night before still deeply rattled him.He had been utterly defeated last night. Magnus, almost bare-handed, cornered him and even nearly inflicted a severe injury to his back.Even now, Frank's back muscles still ached. Sitting hunched over in his office chair for hours hadn't improved his condition. Perhaps it would be better if he lay flat on his wide, soft bed.But Frank couldn't go home. He couldn't, because if he went home, Marco would surely bombard him with questions, and he would reach a point where he would be forced to admit his humiliating defeat to Magnus.His pride as the Chief of Police was too high. He refused to admit that Magnus was superior to him.Knock! Knock!“Come in!” Frank called out, stopping his nail-bi

Brad couldn’t believe what he had just heard.“Wait, wait. You’re telling me that this bum was really sent here by Madam? Are you serious?”Clara’s eyes scanned Magnus up and down. To be honest, even she wasn’t fully convinced—Magnus looked way too ordinary for someone personally dispatched by Krystal Lim.But it was Krystal herself who had called half an hour ago, telling her that a long-haired man named Magnus would be coming to The Oathroom to meet her, and that Clara had to treat him as a special guest.Besides, the handwriting on that note really was Krystal Lim’s.“Just step aside, Brad. Think of him as coming in with me, which means he doesn’t need to show a membership card. He was sent here directly by Madam,” Clara said.Brad glared at Magnus for a moment as if he was about to tear him apart. “This is insane!” he roared. “I’m the operational manager of this elite bar, and I’m not letting some beggar like him walk in. Not even if you’re scheming with him!”Brad shot Clara a s
