At that moment the crowd was still buzzing with low laughter when Damien Steel arrogantly turned toward the king's chamber, intending to push Tyler aside like he was nothing.

“Stop right there.”

Everyone froze, Even Damien paused mid-step, glancing sideways with a sneer, It was Tyler.

Standing tall, his clothes torn and dusty, but his presence steady, sharp, unmovable cut through the air like a blade.

There was no anger in Tyler's voice.

No desperation, no shouting.

no need to prove anything.

“I don't have time to waste with you,” Tyler said flatly, his eyes cold and unshaken.

Upon hearing what Tyler just said, The crowd blinked, stunned by his calmness.

Damien turned fully now, facing him, a mocking grin playing on his lips.

    “Master Tyler,” said James, bowing his head low.“It has been five long years that you have been here, and today is your final day in this place. We, your five subordinates, have taken it upon ourselves to see you through and accompany you out to wherever you might be going. We also wish to tell you of our progress since our first meeting four years ago.”Without wasting time, James pulled out a golden card that gleamed in the sun.“Master, this is my greatest achievement,” he said. “This card grants access to every place in ABK City — every building, event, or private area. It opens all doors.”He offered it with both hands.Then Tyler accepted with a small nod.Immediately Michael stepped forward, holding a black card.“Master,” he said, emotion in his voice, “when I was dying, you healed me. This is Classic Bank card with one billion dollars on it. Just activate it at the bank. Please accept my offering.”Tyler nodded again.Then Commander William stepped up with a sharp salute.“D

    Upon hearing what Tyler just said, the lady's face twisted with even more anger and fear.“Over my dead body will I allow you touch my grandfather, with those grimy fingers of yours!” she screamed.Then she stood like a guard, protecting the car and preventing Tyler from having access to where her grandfather fought for breath.Through the car window, Tyler observed the sick man's condition deteriorating rapidly. The white foam now flowed more abundantly, and the man's lips had turned blue.Tyler's expression remained impassive as he assessed the situation.“Your grandfather has approximately fifteen minutes remaining,” he stated with quiet certainty. it wasn't a threat, but a simple observation of reality.Tyler considered his options with practiced efficiency.

    Upon hearing what the lady just said, the men's eyes gleamed. Five thousand dollars each—more than they'd earn in months of honest work. They moved toward Tyler with predatory intent.The first man cracked his knuckles. The second pulled up his sleeves, revealing arms thickened by years of farm work. The third grinned, already counting his money.“This is going to be easy money.”However Tyler observed their approach, but his posture remained relaxed, his breathing even. The subtle shift in his stance would have been imperceptible to anyone not trained in the ancient arts.None of them understood what five years in the Supreme Forest truly meant.As the men attacked, Tyler moved with fluid precision. His hands traced perfect arcs through the air, each movement calculated and efficient. Three precise strikes delivered with mathematical accuracy just to shut their mouth up.“Slap!” “Slap!” “Slap!”The sound resonated with crystal clarity. The first man spun backward into thorny bushes.

    At that moment the lady's mouth fell open in shock, her perfectly applied lipstick trembling as her mind raced back to Tyler's warning. Immediately Sweat beaded on her forehead as she watched more yellow liquid drip from her father's mouth.“How could that dirty stranger have predicted this exact moment?”She said to herself, cold fear crept up her spine.“How long?” she screamed at the driver, her voice cracking with panic. Her hands gripped the leather seat so hard her knuckles turned white.“How long until Dapplewood?”As asked again.The driver's shoulders tensed as he gripped the steering wheel tighter. “10 minutes,” he said, then glanced again at the sick man in the mirror.“Maybe 15 minutes to be safe.”At that moment her heart jumped with hope for a second - they could make it! But when she turned back to her grandfather, that hope shattered like broken glass. More Dark spots were appearing on his skin, spreading like ink drops on paper. Again Tyler's words echoed in her mind

Back then, his shoulders had been bent with worry, his clothes hanging in tatters, his mother's thin arm clutching his for support as they wandered Dapplewood's streets.His throat tightened at the memory of his wife's grandfather opening his door for them that rainy evening.He hadn't flinched at his dirty appearance or his mother's sickness.Instead, he welcomed them with warm smiles and gentle hands.That same night, the divine doctor had visited.Tyler remembered how the old master's piercing eyes had studied him, looking past his ragged clothes to see something deeper.When the divine doctor chose him as an apprentice, Tyler's hands had trembled with disbelief.

    The word was sharp, cold, and carried the weight of undeniable authority.Instantly, the mocking voices fell silent, then immediately all heads turned.Standing near the entrance, arms crossed over his chest, was a young man in elegant robes embroidered with the symbol of the Miraculous Doctor Sect.His presence commanded attention.He was tall, confident, and carried the unmistakable air of someone used to being respected—and feared.Immediately whispers started spreading quickly among the gathered healers.“That's... that's Lennox,” someone whispered in awe. “One of the top five apprentices under the Miraculous Doctor himself.”“He survived the Supreme Forest trial,” another added quickly. “He’s one of the strongest of their generation.”Lennox’s sharp gaze swept across the room, silencing even the most arrogant among them, Without sparing Tyler even a glance, he stepped forward, his voice calm but full of strength.“I will heal the king,” Lennox declared, his tone leaving no room f

    For a moment, there was silence.And then—the board pulsed with a soft, steady glow, the light wasn’t violent or overwhelming, but it was there. Strong. Stable and Pure.At that moment the official’s lips curled in disbelief.He had to fight the urge to smack Tyler’s hand away in disgust.He couldn't believe what had just happened, how could a dirty, common boy like this have healing energy?It was insulting, he glared at Tyler like he was something that needed to be swept off the street, disgusted by the fact that the rules forced him to accept this.The board had judged, the board had spoken.And no matter how much he despised it, he couldn’t deny Tyler entry without breaking the sacred rules that even he, a palace official, was bound to obey.With a sneer twisting his mouth, the official waved his hand lazily, signaling Tyler to move along.“Pass,” he muttered through his gritted teeth, as if the word itself poisoned him.However Tyler said nothing.He simply nodded and walked forw

    At that moment Tyler stood there, frozen, as his mother's tearful words echoed again and again in his mind.He could see it clearly in her eyes—the fear, the love, the desperation. She thought he was still the same helpless boy, unaware of the dangers that lurked in the shadows of this brutal world.She didn’t know, she didn’t know how much he had changed.She didn’t know the storm he was holding back behind the calmness of his eyes.But Tyler understood now, she wasn’t trying to stop him because she didn’t believe in him.She was trying to protect him.Protect him from bringing the wrath of a ruthless king upon his head.And even if it tore him apart inside, he couldn't cause her any more pain.Not today, So, slowly, Tyler exhaled and forced his body to relax.He dropped his hands to his sides and quietly took a step back.Backing away, showing no resistance, pretending, pretending to surrender, pretending to be powerless.His mother’s eyes widened slightly, and then a shaky, relieve

    Her voice was shrill and sharp, carrying across the courtyard.Hering what the lady just said, Tyler’s eyes darkened instantly, but before he could react, the guards moved.Without waiting for an explanation, they marched aggressively toward them.The ground trembled slightly under their heavy boots.Tyler instinctively stepped in front of his mother, shielding her, but the guards were already reaching out.Rough hands grabbed his mother’s thin arms, yanking her away from him.“Hey!” Tyler barked, fury exploding in his voice. “What do you think you're doing?! Let go of my mother now!”But they didn’t listen.Two of the guards shoved Tyler aside roughly while the others manhandled his mother as if she were some worthless criminal. His mother whimpered in pain, struggling weakly in their iron grips, her frail body was no match for their strength.Tyler's blood boiled to the point of snapping.The guards sneered at them as they dragged his mother across the floor, their faces wrinkled i

    At that moment the old, cracked bowl she had been clutching slipped from her fingers and fell to the ground with a dull, hollow clatter, coins scattering in all directions.But she didn’t care, nothing else mattered.With a choked sob, she stumbled forward and threw her arms around Tyler, clutching him tightly as if afraid he would vanish again if she let go.More tears streamed down her face, soaking into Tyler’s tattered clothes. She buried her face against his chest undermining the smell, her thin, fragile body shaking with uncontrollable emotion.“My son... my son...” she wept over and over, her voice broken and raw.Tyler stood there, stiff at first, feeling her hands clutch at him desperately. His heart ached so fiercely he thought it might rip apart. He slowly, carefully wrapped his arms around her, shielding her like he should have done years ago.She cried harder at his touch, she had thought she lost him.Five years ago, when the Miraculous Doctor had kicked Tyler out of the
