Spendthrift Tycoon: Forced to spend millions a day

Chapter six

Walking out of the company building, Austin took a deep breath.

Since it was already late, the street outside was mostly quiet, with only a few streetlights shining down on the road.

Austin walked over to the curb and looked down the street, waiting to flag down a taxi so he could head back to his apartment and sleep.

Before long, a pair of headlights appeared in the distance.

Seeing that it was an empty cab, Austin raised his hand to wave it down.

However, just as the taxi was about to pull over in front of him, the screech of tires suddenly tore through the quiet night.

Austin turned his head toward the intersection and saw a truck losing control as it sped around the corner.

At the same time, a black family car was driving through the green light.

The driver of the car didn't even have a second to react before the truck slammed straight into the side of the vehicle!

A deafening crash echoed down the street as metal twisted and glass shattered everywhere.

The black car was sent spinning across the road before slamming against the guardrail meters away from where Austin was standing, while the truck driver sped up fleeing the scene.

For a split second, everyone on the sidewalk froze in shock.

"Oh my god! Somebody call an ambulance!" someone screamed, snapping everyone back to their senses.

Without hesitation, Austin rushed toward the wrecked car along with several other passersby who had witnessed the crash.

By the time they reached the vehicle, thick white smoke was already rising from the crushed hood, and the smell of leaking gasoline filled the air.

"Help! Please help us!" a middle-aged man's panicked voice rang out from inside the car.

A few brave men in the crowd quickly helped kick open the back doors, pulling out two crying young kids and a teenage boy.

A second later, the middle-aged father also stumbled out from the driver's seat with a cut on his forehead.

The victims inside the car happened to be a family of five.

Thankfully, the car's frame had absorbed most of the impact, so nobody had died instantly, and the father and his three children only suffered a few minor injuries and scrapes.

However, the moment the fathers feet touched the ground, he turned back toward the car in horror.

"My wife! My wife is still trapped in the passenger seat!" the man shouted, his voice trembling with fear as he rushed to the other side of the car.

Hearing this, Austin and a few other men quickly ran around to the passenger side.

Through the shattered window, they could see a woman in her late thirties pinned inside the seat, groaning weakly.

The truck had hit the passenger side directly, caving the metal frame inward and jamming the door completely shut.

"Get her out quickly! The engine is smoking, the car might catch fire!" someone in the crowd yelled turning the attention right towards the smoking engine.

The husband grabbed the door handle with both hands and pulled with all his might, his face turning red from the pressure. But no matter how muc he pulled the door didn't budge an inch.

Two other men stepped up to help him pull, yet the twisted metal remained locked in place.

"It's no use! The door frame is completely bent, we need the fire department's cutting tools to open this!" one of the men panted, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"No! If we wait for the fire truck, it'll be too late!" the husband cried out, tears streaming down his face as he saw the smoke from the hood getting thicker.

Seeing that they were wasting precious seconds, Austin stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder.

"Step back. Let me try," Austin said calmly.

Before the husband or the bystanders could ask what a young guy like him could do when three grown men had just failed, Austin reached out and gripped the bent edge of the window frame with both hands.

Taking a deep breath, Austin pulled backward violently

Instantly, the hinges of the car door, which had already been weakened by the crash, gave way under his terrifying strength.

Right before everyone's widened eyes, Austin yanked the entire car door right off the frame and tossed it onto the road!

The people standing nearby gasped, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets as they stared at the heavy door lying on the floor.

"D-Did he just rip the door off with his bare hands?!" a man in the crowd stammered in disbelief.

"The crash must have knocked the hinges loose already, otherwise how could a human do that?" another person muttered, trying to make sense of what they had just seen.

Austin didn't pay any attention to their whispers.

Reaching into the car, he unbuckled the seatbelt and lifted the injured mother out of the seat, carrying her to a safe spot on the sidewalk away from the smoking vehicle.

"Honey! Are you okay?!" the husband rushed over and dropped to his knees beside her, while the three kids gathered around crying for their mother.

However, the moment Austin laid the woman flat on the ground, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Several pieces of broken glass had cut deeply into her arm and neck, and blood was flowing all over, staining the pavement beneath her.

Even worse, the severe trauma and blood loss had triggered her underlying heart condition!

The woman clutched her chest tightly with her trembling hand, her eyes rolling back as she gasped desperately for air.

Within seconds, her face turned pale and her lips began turning a dark.

"Mom! Mom, don't scare me!" the oldest boy cried out, grabbing her hand in panic.

"Her heart disease is acting up!" the husband screamed, his entire body shaking as he fumbled through his pockets.

"The medicine... her heart medicine was in the glove box inside the car, and it was crushed in the wreck! Is there a doctor here?! Please, someone save my wife!"

The surrounding crowd looked at each other helplessly, their faces pale.

Even without medical knowledge, anyone could see that with the amount of blood she was losing and her heart failing at the same time, she wouldn't even last two minutes, let alone wait for the ambulance to arrive!

She was going to die right here in front of her family!

Despair filled the air as the husband broke down in tears and the bystanders shook their heads in shock and pity.

However, right as everyone thought there was no hope left, Austin dropped to one knee beside the dying woman.

With the Master Medical Skills in his mind, a single glance was enough for him to see the exact state of her blocked blood vessels and spasming heart.

Without wasting a single breath, Austin's hands moved like lightning.

His fingers tapped rapidly across her acupoints.

The very next second, a miracle happened right before everyone's eyes.

The heavy blood that had been gushing out of her wounds stopped flowing almost instantly!
