Rising Through Ranks

CH-0006

Ben quivered from the weight of the shocks that came crashing on him.

"What he needs now is a lot of rest." Quinin pulled off his gloves and turned over to Doctor Col.

"I'm running late."

Doctor Col nodded. Quinn had already done more than enough. Doctor Nam was still dumbstruck.

The disease that had taken the life of three of the most powerful men in the city, three years ago was cured in just a blink of an eye.

"Was that the lifeblood technique?"

From the books of medicine history, it was stated that the greatest Doctors in the ancient past had developed this after the black death.

It saved the rest part of the world. This technique could control the life force of the individual in any way that they wanted.

It could work miracles. Healing incurable diseases. And just in the same way, it could only be a deadly instrument.

Director Nam's face ran over with beads of sweat.

If he could get Quinin to become a doctor in the hospital, then the name of Eastside hospital was definitely going to tear beyond the city.

But it was definitely going to be now that they had gotten off on the wrong foot. His heart tightened at the bitter revelation. However, he could not give up.

"What's that? How come I have never heard of it?" Before Ben could even finish those words, five fingers were imprinted on his face.

"Haven't you caused enough trouble already? I didn't realize that I raised you to be so dumb!"

"Doctor Quinin. I'm very sorry about that."

However, Quinin brushed past them without even sparing him a glance. Col hides his smile finely.

"Mr. Quinin. Mr. Quinin." The soothing voice of the heiress that sounded like music spelled out.

"Is there anything else? I'm hurrying off somewhere."

Even her subtle pants sounded like soft moans, smoothing to the ears.

"Thanks for saving him. He meant so much to me."

"I know. And you don't have to thank me either."

"You're so modest, Doctor Quinin. The Lincoln family isn't known for owing anyone.

I'm ready to reward you. This is the black business card. It's worth over a billion dollars and would raise you to become one of the top one hundred richest people in the city."

Eyes widened. Just by saving someone within such a short period, Quinin gets to enjoy such luxury.

Ben bites down on his tongue. He was supposed to be the one in this shoes.

"I only helped because of my uncle. You don't owe me anything!" Quinin rejected the gift without even a blink.

Everyone was shocked. Even Xerxes. Most people would jump on it. Yet, the young man was rejecting an offer to become one of the richest persons in the city.

Xerxes' interest peaked alongside something else. She could not tell whether he was just genuinely not interested or playing hard to get.

From the next offer, she was going to find out.

It was something that she had used just the thoughts of it to get a lot of people into doing her biddings. And each time, no one has ever been able to resist it, no matter how great and powerful they claimed to be.

She brought out a card and handled it at Quinin. The lights beamed brightly from it. Ben's heart dropped forward to the bottom of his feet. It was none other than the membership card of the Lincoln family.

Whoever owe it would automatically have access to everyone that was owed by the family and be recognized as a member of the family.

Ben could no longer hold his bladder. He quickly stepped forward.

"Lady Xerxes. You're giving that to the wrong person. Quinin is only here today because of my Uncle and I.

We should be the ones that should be awarded that gift instead. Besides, it's only based on beginner's luck that he was able to help out."

Xerxes expression darkened with a bitter twist.

"Seems you have lost the use of your tongue and would have me slice it off."

He quickly stepped backward, gritting his teeth with fury and disappointment, for letting such a great opportunity slip right through his fingers with nothing to do about it.

"As much as I would love to... I can't take anything from a stranger." Quinin ended.

'A stranger you say? He is playing hard to get.'

Lady Xerxes wasn't offended by these words. She only smiled brightly, something that had never happened to any other man.

"It's getting late. At least you know, would you let me drive you home?"

"That's fair. What's the way."

'I'm loving this game of hide and seek!'

She led them into the car after Quinin said goodbye to Doctor Col and they all stepped into it. Xerxes kept making proposals, a medical school, or taking him around the world while they drove, however, Quinin would not give in.

"I appreciate the effort. But I would appreciate it more if you stopped trying. Lady Xerxes." Quinin made his preposition firm.

"Men like Quinin always want something else. Something that make them feel better, different and special." The driver, personal assistant to Lady Xerxes, chipped in.

Everyone laughed apart from Quinin. His face burned bright red. He had never expected the sudden switch.

"Oh is that so? A man thing that I don't know about huh?"

The boobs of the lady seemed to push forward. The aura oozing from her was suggestive.

"I don't think that's quite the right comment to make. Seeing the fact that Xerxes boyfriend who just recovered is sitting right behind us!" Quinn emphasized, hoping this would end the charade.

The young man behind them lets out a laugh.

"You've got the wrong idea. She's my twin sister." Austin said.

"And I could use a brother-in-law!"

At that moment, Quintin knew he f**ked up. His face burned with embarrassment and Xerxes smiled.

"Oh! I see."

"If that is what you want. I definitely wouldn't mind." She said,

"I have a fiance, lady Xerxes."

For the first time, being dethroned got useful for Quinin. Hopefully, it was going to save him from being buried in this embarrassment.
