  Matt had been sleeping as soundly as it was humanly possible.He had been having a nice breakfast and was planning to relax after trying out the hotel's gym and swimming pool to keep himself in shape. There weren't any issues in security, and once he had gotten used to the hotel, he could even go on a stroll down Aurous Hill.That was when his phone rang with a call from an unknown number, and Hank could be heard talking as soon as he answered, "Matt! Could you please call Mr. Rothschild? I'd like to invite Mr. Wade along for dinner."Matt did a double-take.He used to be a glorified pimp keeping Hank supplied with his 'delights', and it was clear that Hank treated him like a lapdog and not a fellow friend.But now, he was Julien's lapdog instead, so who did Hank think he was, telling him what to do?"Come on," he chuckled nonchalantly. "Do you really think Mr. Wade is someone you can just ask to meet? And Julien is the heir apparent of the Rothschilds—you think you can treat him

  Hank had never once feared death.After all, he had lived long and happily enough, and he could face death with grace.He thought he would be satisfied if he could live to eighty, and he definitely expected to live that long when he had all the money and preventive measures in place to prevent even terminal illness.But even while he was being so cautious, he had still contracted pancreatic cancer.Right now, all he wanted to do was consult Charlie and ask him to save him no matter what it took.Hence, he called up his flight crew to start refueling and schedule a flight right away, even as he left the hospital and rushed to the airport.The man had never traveled this much in such a short time frame, returning Stateside after reaching Oskia two days ago, and now returning to Oskia after just a few medical examinations.Since it was a little past midnight in Oskia at the moment, he expected to land in the evening. Given the timing, he could invite Charlie to dinner, and the venu

  Pat shook his head. "Things don't look good, Sir. It's growing very rapidly—the CA199 count is positively skyrocketing, considering that it's just been three months."Hank wiped the sweat off his brow as he asked, "Well, what's the plan for treatment?""That's why I'm here," Pat replied. "To tell you that the sooner we operate to remove your pancreas, the better.""Remove it?!" Hank blurted. "How long am I expected to survive after that? Five years?" "There's no telling," Pat sighed, shaking his head. "In this day and age, pancreatic cancer is the most unpredictable—the cells grow rapidly with lethal precision, and even if removed, there's a good chance they have already metastasized elsewhere." "The only sure thing is that regardless of early detection, only ten percent of pancreatic cancer patients survive the next five years… And as of yet, none have survived up to ten years."Pausing, Pat then finished, "If I had to put it this way… They are like Germany in World War Two."

  When Hank showed the CA199 result, the cabal finally realized that Charlie really did possess some sort of unseen power that could determine a person's fate.Hank was horrified, too, hurriedly signing the consent forms for a contrast agent before being rushed into the CT scan room. As the gigantic machinery whirled, rumbled, and beeped loudly, his heart raced in panic all the more.In the past, he had found comfort in such sounds—it was the power of money and technology, bringing about advanced medical equipment to keep him healthy.But now, those same objects left him panicked and horrified.After all, he had to be inside a small hole while he was scanned from head to toe—twice, and the longer it lasted, the more tormenting it was.Just as he thought he was about to suffocate, the machine finally stopped whirling, and he was pulled out.The lead door also opened as Greg and several nurses swiftly moved him to a stretcher, sending him back to his VIP ward.Along the way, he co

  On the other hand, if Hank's health failed, Greg would basically be fired, as he was more or less a health consultant to Hank.And should Hank be admitted to a specialist hospital, there wasn't much he could do either.Hence, even as Hank remained in a good mood a moment ago, he was suddenly dying inside as he fumbled for his phone, stammering, "Houston… We have a problem."Andrew was the first to laugh. "Oh, congratulations, Hank! We've been waiting the whole night for this one… So, what's the anomaly here?Hank really wasn't in the mood for jokes and snapped at Andrew right then, "Shut up! Are you trying to jinx me?!"Andrew was left aggrieved. "But you're the one who said that there was something wrong! Why would you snap at me like that?"Hank bellowed furiously, nonetheless, "I'd rather be normal with just minor anomalies and definitely not pancreatic cancer! As it turns out, my CA199 count is several dozen times above normal, and the doctor said that pancreatic cancer is th

  Greg pursed his lips in discomfort.Did Hank just happen to have a few screws loose today? Is that why he was looking forward to being sick?Considering what Hank had just said, he began, "Sir, I must apologize that I've actually noticed a fresh perspective thanks to what you just said. If anything, I think it kind of makes sense as there may be phenomena that can never be explained by science—metaphysics, as one would put it."Hank nodded in agreement. "That's the case for the world itself—everyone only sees what they each want to see, remaining ignorant of that which they have not seen before."Pausing, he then waved him off, saying, "Let's put that aside for the moment and get down to business… So, what was the issue you've found?"Greg quickly said, "Your CA199 levels are a bit high…"Hank remained excited as he asked, "How is that relevant? What does it have to do with erectile issues? I'm really not getting it up lately—does that figure have something to do with that?""Er
