"What?"

"We won’t even get our refunds?"

The patients stared, stunned, their eyes wide with a mix of shock and dread.

No treatment. No refunds. Nothing.

Most of them were just struggling to survive, living from hand to mouth.

For many, the payment they’d made was all the money they had in the world—spent because, as the saying went, health was wealth. Now what?

It wasn’t as if other hospitals would treat them without payment. Were they just supposed to stay here and wait for death?

The air grew heavy, thick with despair.

"I’m… I’m sorry," Walter murmured, bowing until his forehead touched the floor. "Truly sorry."

"Sorry?!" a young lady snapped. "You keep saying that as if it is supposed to solve anything! Tell me, are we just supposed to take your sorry and then die? Since morning, you should’ve been looking for a solution, why didn't you?! My God, I don’t want to die! I’m still young! I haven’t even lived my life yet!" She broke down, sobbing.

"Please, don’t think we’ve just been s

    Robin's taunting words sent a wave of disbelief through the room. Even Lena, though extremely weak, couldn’t help her shock as she lifted her weary gaze to glance toward him. Tall. Handsome. Who was this arrogant young man?Did he truly not realize who he was provoking? This was the Abyssal Dominion!Yes, he'd shot those needles into one of their men’s feet, which was enough to prove he was skilled himself, but she'd hought it possible only because the man had underestimated him. She didn’t think he had the strength to truly stand against them.The rest of the crowd thought the same. They were happy that someone was finally putting the Abyssal Dominion in their place, but they also feared for Robin—pitied him even. He might not live to tell the tale.Meanwhile, the Abyssal Dominion men’s expressions frosted over. They glared at Robin, their ice-cold gazes sharp enough to send chills down spines.“Punk, what did you just say? Do you dare repeat yourself?” one of them barked.“Heh,” in

    The Abyssal Dominion man’s words dropped like a hammer, plunging the room into heavy silence. The patients couldn't help but exchange stunned glances, the same thought flashing across their faces; The Abyssal Dominion was really shameless!This hospital, even in its prime, wouldn’t have fetched twenty million, yet here he was demanding that outrageous sum now that it was teetering on collapse? Their talent for theft from every way possible was truly unmatched. Not even the world greatest criminal could compare!Clara and Julian’s fists tightened at their sides. Every fiber in them wanted to lash out at the man. But Clara, remembering the sting of the earlier slap and the kick that followed, stayed silent. Julian too recalled the brutal kick he had received, and his words died in his throat. How ironic. When Sheila offered to buy the hospital, they had the courage to protest. Yet now, faced with someone claiming ownership without putting down a single coin, they dared not utter a wo

    “You’re not qualified to know who I am,” Robin said flatly.The Abyssal Dominion men scowled. He was just a guard, what was making him so arrogant? Their fists tightened, their energies surging as if ready to lunge at Robin. But after a moment’s hesitation, they restrained themselves. Charging in blind against someone like Robin without knowing his true strength would be suicide.Instead, one asked coldly. “What business do you have here at this hospital?”“That’s none of your concern,” Sheila shot back sharply. Her eyes softened when they landed on Walter. “Sir, you must be Walter Hayes, the owner of this hospital, right?”Walter lifted his battered face to her. “Yes, Miss,” he said weakly. “May I ask… why have you come?”Sheila stepped forward, offering him her hand and helping him to his feet. Her tone grew calm, even carrying a hint of warmth. “My friend here is looking to buy a hospital. Perhaps you’d consider selling yours?”Walter’s weary eyes lit up instantly. “Really?! Of cou

    WHOOSH!As the cold voice echoed, a small object shot through the air and buried itself in the Abyssal Dominion man’s foot.“Arghh! My leg! My leg!” he howled, stumbling as he clutched at his foot, swaying left and right.“Who did that?!” his comrades roared, their heads snapping toward the entrance.“Don’t hide like a coward! Show yourself!” another barked, fury etched across his face.“Who said I was hiding?” a calm voice answered, steady and unshaken.From the doorway, Robin stepped in, his expression composed and unreadable. Beside him, Sheila stormed forward, her face twisted with anger.“You Abyssal Dominion dogs only know how to bully and wreak havoc, don’t you?” she hissed, her tone sharp as a blade.“How dare you talk to us like that?” one of the men snapped back. His gaze darted suspiciously between the pair. “Who the hell are you? And which one of you dared shoot at our comrade just now?” Despite how powerful they were, the object just now had been too fast that they didn'

    Across the room, faces twitched in disgust and disbelief. How could he be asking for the young lady like she was nothing more than a product to be traded? She was a human being!Parents who had come with their own beautiful daughters instinctively pulled the girls behind them, shielding them from the man’s vile gaze. They didn’t want his predatory eyes landing on their children.Seeing this, the five men merely rolled their eyes. What would hiding them do? If they wanted the girls, they could easily have them. But they had only come for Walter, so they didn’t care about the others. As long as they didn’t interfere, they wouldn’t bother about them.“So, old man,” the thug from earlier drawled, “what’s your answer? Don’t worry, we’ll return her in one piece. She just… might not be able to walk for a few days.”Laying on the couch, Lena's expression instantly darkened. “You’ve crossed the line!” She couldn’t hold back from shouting even before Walter could react. Other things she could i

    The patients collectively drew in a sharp breath at the thug’s words. Even Lena and the guard couldn’t hide their frowns. How could a $500,000 loan balloon into six million in just a few days?Where in the world was such a thing done?This was oppression at its peak.Daylight robbery!Yet, despite the wave of outrage rippling through them, no one dared speak up—not even Lena. This was the Abyssal Dominion after all. Who would be foolish enough to challenge them?Walter, Julian, and Clara, however, were seething, their faces flushed, eyes bloodshot.“You can’t treat us like this!” Clara burst out. “This is injustice! Wickedness! Just because we’re poor, does that give you the right to treat us however you please?”SLAP!The sharp crack of a slap cut through the air.SLAM!The sheer force sent Clara flying, her body crashing into the wall. A sickening crack followed, as if something had snapped.Gasps erupted.Eyes widened in horror.People shuffled backward, putting as much distance a
