Soon, Bella's face regained its rosy complexion on the bed, but she remained unconscious due to her weak condition.

Scarlet could finally let go of her worries and sat by the bedside, gently caressing her sister's forehead with affection.

It was serene and peaceful time! 

However, not everyone was happy.

Arthur turned around and looked at the pale-faced Dr. John, teasingly saying.

"Dr. John, isn't it time for you to fulfill your bet now?"

Upon hearing Arthur's words, John's face turned red, and he vehemently denied.

"What bet? I have never made any bet with you!"

For the sake of his pride and feeble self-esteem, he even refused to apologize.

Since that was the case, Arthur couldn't easily let him off the hook.

Initially, he thought an apology from John would be enough.

However, not only was John lacking in medical skills, but also his medical ethics were poor.

"Whether you agree or not, you can no longer practice medicine. Find another profession!"

Determined to protect his own benefit, John pointed at Arthur and burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you? Hahaha..." He continued to resist.

"And what about me? Do I have the authority?"

Scarlet looked at John with a grim expression.

Earlier, this man almost caused harm to her only remaining loved one.

"Miss..."

When hearing the words of the business queen in Eldora, John attempted to defend himself.

However, Scarlet waved her hand, ordering the security guards to silence him and take him away.

"Keep an eye on this man. Don't let him leave Eldora, and forbid him from engaging in any medical-related profession!"

"By the way, he said that he wanted to eat the toad. Make sure it's well-cooked." Arthur added.

Hearing their words, John could only widen his eyes as the guards dragged him away.

Gripped by inner fear, he couldn't hold on any longer. His head tilted to the side, and he fainted.

Arthur and Scarlet him and exchanged a smile.

Of course, they had no intention of letting him eat the toad because it had absorbed the venom curse...

In the underground garage, Scarlet prepared to send Arthur to the hotel and invite him for a dinner.

At that moment, a group of people suddenly appeared, who were all dressed in black suits with fierce faces.

The muscles on their bodies bulged to the point where their shirts were about to tear. They looked at Scarlet and said.

"Scarlet Stacy, Mr. Stanley invite you for a dinner tonight."

It seemed that this new development was not well-intentioned. Arthur squinted and looked at these people, his lips curving up.

He asked, "Do you know these people?"

Scarlet's face darkened as she said.

"They are a group of nuisances."

Stanley was one of the four most influential individuals in the city, who controlled the underground world of this city.

Scarlet detested people like him the most though he kept clinging to her.

Every few days, there would be a disturbance like this.

Why did she forget to bring bodyguards today?!

Scarlet frowned, her face filled with coldness.

She instinctively stood before Arthur and said.

"You won't want to know the price you'll have to pay if you touch me."

Though she appeared calm on the surface, deep down, she was extremely worried.

She tilted her head to look at Arthur and said.

"Don't be afraid. I won't let them hurt you!"

Hearing her words and seeing her trembling legs, he couldn't help but think that she's really a cute girl.

Despite being terrified to the core, she still pretended to remain calm and even claim to protect him.

Just then, the opposing group laughed loudly.

"Miss Scarlet, you like man like this, huh? Don't you feel that our boss is more attractive than the weak guy?"

Scarlet sneered without pity.

"Stanley is just a piece of moving flesh. Looking at him makes me nauseous."

The men in black suits immediately moved forward fiercely. They would never allow anyone to disrespect their boss.

They might not be allowed to attack Scarlet, but they could beat the man behind her!

With each step the men took, Scarlet's frown tightened.

No matter what they did, she wouldn't let Arthur suffer any harm!

At that moment, a pair of hands suddenly pulled her back.

Scarlet couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. She looked at Arthur, worriedly saying.

"Sir, there are so many of them, you can't..."

She hadn't finished speaking when Arthur raised his index finger to his lips, signaling her to be silent.

He smiled, a gentle smile like the spring breeze.

Scarlet suddenly felt her heart beat faster by a beat.

But Arthur didn't give her time to be stunned. He pushed her back and stood facing the approaching group of people.

Seeing him acting like this, the group immediately sneered.

"Kid, even if you want to play the hero and save the beauty, you must consider your strength first."

Another man said, "We'll leave our mark on your handsome face."

Before they finished speaking, they immediately threw punches forward. 

Arthur smiled. Scarlet couldn't even see what he did.

His hand seemed to move slightly, and then the scar-faced man fell and rolled on the ground.

He couldn't even let out a groan, lying silently there.

Scarlet's expression went from worry to disbelief.

She widened her eyes, looking at Arthur, both eyes shining with excitement.

The group of people looked a bit hesitant when they saw it.

As they couldn't even see his movements clearly, how could they win?

Another black-clad man shouted, "Why be afraid?! Attack!"

Saying that he took the lead and charged forward.

He threw a powerful punch, but Arthur lifted his hand to block it.

The man's punch was perfectly blocked, and Arthur's hand didn't budge. The force of the man's punch blew Arthur's hair slightly.

He smiled, his voice gentle.

"No one invites someone for tea in this manner. I think your boss should reconsider if there's something wrong with his mind."

The people behind saw this and gnashed their teeth, charging forward together.

They saw Arthur's hand pushing forward, and the man immediately flew out.

His whole hand seemed to have turned into a pile of flesh. It was clear that his bones were shattered.

Then, it was perhaps the most impressive fight scene Scarlet had ever seen.

Arthur's movements were smooth and beautiful. The group couldn't even touch a single strand of his hair.

In a short while, the previously arrogant group lay on the ground, unable to utter another word.

Arthur seemed to perform magic, taking a white silk handkerchief out of his shirt pocket and wiping his hands. Then he let the handkerchief fall. It fluttered in the air and landed on the face of the ringleader.

Arthur smiled. He turned to look at Scarlet and softly said, "Shall we go?"

It was as if Scarlet had just snapped back to reality at this moment. She nodded dazedly.

    Arthur's trembling demeanor, in the eyes of the manager, appeared to be weakened to the point of imminent death. Instantly, the manager's eyebrows furrowed, but his spoken words seemed oddly gentle. He approached, took hold of Arthur, and then looked towards Emma, smiling as he said, "Alright, I'll take care of this little one; you may go."In reality, the manager wasn't particularly patient, nor was he a gentle person. However, when dealing with potential "harvestable" products, he was always required to be careful. After all, he was the one raising these children, knowing what they needed to grow up.Hearing this, Emma happily left without any worries. Arthur could only stare as Emma walked away, mouth agape, wanting to speak but finding himself unable to.This made Arthur involuntarily furrow his brows.
