Several other patients who had just arrived and accidentally overheard the conversation were stunned. They stared at Udin and at the young man who had been supporting the old gentleman.“This young lady truly cured my illness quickly… Please line up properly. Don’t cause any trouble,” Udin said respectfully. He then took out a single gold coin to pay the clinic’s treatment fee.“O-only one gold coin… S-so cheap… Even at the best doctor in these mountains, one gold coin would only rent a bed for ten hours!”Bintang and Kiana looked at the patients calmly.“At this clinic, we don’t set fixed prices for treatment,” Bintang said. “You only need to pay whatever you sincerely wish to give.”“If that’s true, young lady, hurry and check my condition!”“Yes! I want to recover from the injury I’ve had for three years!”“Because of this illness, we’ve been suffering under work pressure! I want to get better immediately!”Kiana nodded and pointed at the miners one by one.“Please line up. I’ll tr

“Wait—what do you mean? Are you saying my parents’ deaths are connected to my five masters? Don’t speak carelessly when it concerns the two things I respect most!” Bintang’s face darkened with anger.How could his masters possibly do something that would wound him so deeply? If they were truly involved, then why would they have saved him when he was a child?“H-how tragic… I’ve heard he’s a fortune teller who has never been wrong. He can read both the future and the past. Even if this masked physician is our hero, he shouldn’t deny the fortune teller’s prophecy, right?”“Whether you believe in fortune-telling is your choice,” the fortune teller said calmly. “But if you wish to see the truth, come to the valley near these mountains. The air there is quite cold, and the atmosphere… oppressive. Perhaps the old man I mentioned can explain everything to you.”“Master, I…” Kiana suddenly stopped herself.“Kiana, stop believing him. No matter what, my five masters are the people who have con

“Welcoming a guest? Hahahaha…” Maulana laughed maniacally. But the laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a blank expression as he gave an order.“Sely, teach him a lesson. Let him know that in this entire territory, I am the ruler!”Sely, the masked girl, nodded. She leapt forward and grabbed one of Bintang’s wrists. She intended to immobilize him by twisting his arm and locking his movement.But unfortunately for her, beneath the mask, Sely’s eyes widened in shock. The arm lock failed. It was as if she were trying to bend a solid bar of steel.“S-so strong…” Her words trailed off as Bintang suddenly moved.He spun his body around, forced her wrist behind her back, and restrained her in one swift motion.Gleeeek!His other hand quickly clamped around Sely’s neck, tightening with a clear threat.“Take one more step, and she dies,” Bintang’s voice was ice-cold.Maulana’s eyes widened. Sely was his most loyal guard, always by his side.“E-everyone stop?!” Maulana shouted. He had no inte

Dozens of arrows shot out rapidly from behind the bushes toward them. This forced Bintang and Sely to work together to evade the relentless assault.Twisting and weaving as if they were dancing, the two displayed completely different styles. Bintang’s body was incredibly flexible, his movements calm and composed.Sely, on the other hand, relied on speed. For several minutes, the attacks did not cease.Bintang began to realize something.“These attacks can’t possibly go on forever… If that’s the case, I need to find the main mechanism…”He continued dodging while scanning his surroundings, evading again and again.His eyes locked onto a switch made from a piece of wood.“Found it…”With a faint smile, he spun one hundred and eighty degrees while catching an arrow aimed at his body.HAAAAP! Haaaap!Swuuuuush! Swuuuuush!He immediately hurled the arrow back toward the switch, shattering it. Suddenly, the arrows stopped firing.“S-such quick thinking… Young Master is truly brilliant…” Sel

“Do you have proof, Grandfather?”The Great King gave a faint smile and led Bintang into a private chamber known only to him.Inside the hidden room—Gleeeek!Lights illuminated the entire space. One by one, the photographs marked by the Great King each held a reason. Every person in those pictures was connected to the tragic “accident” that killed Bintang’s parents.“That accident was merely a diversion. What truly happened… your father and mother were killed at the Blue Palace—the seat of the Dragon King’s power. With your parents’ identities, the three ancient families were not a threat. But their five disciples—War Goddess, Goddess of Wealth, Goddess of Gambling, Goddess of Medicine, and Goddess of Beauty… Without the involvement of those five disciples of the Dragon King, your father would not have been killed.”Bintang clenched his jaw. His grandfather’s explanation made sense. Once he returned to the capital, he would personally question his master about all of this.“Then why
