After placing the wounded woman on the bed patients rested in, Clarence removed her clothes. A magnificent view appeared in front of him.
The wounded woman looked like she was in her thirties, but she was at least an 8. Hence, she was a rare beauty.
She had a great figure and curves in all the right places.
Gender was irrelevant when it came to a doctor treating their patients.
Clarence did not have any evil thoughts. At one glance, he saw that the wounded woman had a horrifying scar on her chest. Her muscles had been split open and her ribs were displayed for the world to see.
“Hiss! Master Howard, is this her fatal wound?
“This doesn’t look like she’s been hit by a car. She looks more like she’s been slashed by a knife.” Master Williams inhaled sharply.
That wound was too horrifying. Not a lot of people could handle looking at it.
Clarence shook his head. “This is not her fatal wound. Her fatal wound is inside her body.
“Her meridians were broken, and more than 100 bones in her body were broken too. Her heart has also exploded, so she was only holding onto life with the air in her lungs. It’s such a miracle she’s not dead.”
Master Williams had a heavy look on his face. “If that’s the case, let’s call the cops.
“If she dies here, we won’t be able to explain ourselves.
“It’s too late.”
Clarence quickly took out his silver needles and stabbed the meridians in her body to stabilize the energy she was losing. “If you call the cops now, she’ll die.
“If I take action now, we still have a chance to save her.”
Master Williams looked at Clarence in shock, “Master Howard, can you save such a heavily wounded person?”
The woman in bed had stopped breathing.
She had no heartbeat either.
From what Master Williams could see, she was already a dead person.
“Yes.”
Clarence nodded. He did not have the time to pay attention to Master Williams. He stabbed a few more silver needles into the woman to stabilize her life.
Then, to Master William’s surprise, the woman’s chest started to rise and fall. She was alive.
“You should get out first. I’ll save her myself,” Clarence ordered.
Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture could not save her anymore, so he could only use the power from his necklace with a cross.
Master Williams did not dare dilly-dally. He quickly exited the room and watched the door, making sure that no one could disturb Clarence.
Clarence frowned, lowering his head to look at his necklace with a cross. The green light inside it was weak. “I hope this green light can save you.”
Clarence held the cross as he held the woman’s hand, trying to slowly repair the damage in her body.
Half an hour later, Clarence walked out of the room.
Master Williams quickly asked, “Master Howard, how is she?”
“She’s fine. She’ll wake up in about two to three days.” Clarence shook his head. He was a little tired after using the power of Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture and the necklace.
“I’ll go take a look.”
Master Williams walked into the room. Less than 5 seconds later, Clarence heard a scream. “Ahh! What are you doing?”
Clarence placed his teacup down and sped to the room.
The woman had evidently woken up. She was holding Master Williams hostage, one of her hands bent into the shape of a tiger’s claw as it held his throat. She examined her surroundings vigilantly, which included Clarence since he had just entered the room.
“Who are you?
“Where am I?” The woman’s voice sounded hoarse and angry.
Clarence shrugged. “Miss, you ran into our clinic to ask me to save you.
“Now, you’re holding the apprentice of your savior hostage. Do you think this is appropriate?”
“He’s so old. How can he be your apprentice?” The woman did not believe him. Then, she suddenly understood. “You saved me?”
Clarence spread his hands out. “Yeah, duh.”
The woman shook her head in disbelief. “How can that be possible? How could you have saved me?
“I was hurt by Dom Gambini and all my meridians were broken. I lost all of my accomplishments, and I also broke more than a hundred bones.
“Dom’s last tactic, the ‘black tiger stealing the heart’, immediately crushed my heart. How did you save me…”
The woman had a taunting look on her face. She thought that Clarence was lying.
However, halfway through her sentence, her body shook violently. She let go of Master Wiliams in disbelief. “How is this possible? I’m… completely cured?
“My broken meridians are all fixed. Even my bones are connected again. My heart… is also fine?
“Impossible. This is impossible. I must be dead. I’m in hell, right?” The woman widened her eyes and looked at Clarence in terror. It was like Clarence was the guardian of the underworld, here only to mess with her.
Clarence sighed. “I saved her, but she’s gone mad now.”
The woman glared at Clarence. “Who are you calling mad?”
Clarence looked at the woman helplessly. “Miss, you’re not dead, and I’ve cured you. If you’ve not gone mad, you can leave now.
“Oh right, according to the prices of Thirteen Hall, it’s 20 bucks to clean your wounds, 30 bucks for the acupuncture, 50 for reconnecting your bones, and your heart… Hmm, I’ll just charge you 30 bucks for that. That’ll be 130 bucks. Please pay the bill to my disciple.”
After Clarence finished saying that, he turned around and walked back into the hall of Thirteen Hall.
The woman was left standing where she was, completely dumbfounded. He had saved her life, but he was not demanding an exorbitant fee from her. He only wanted 130 bucks?
About ten minutes later, the woman came out of the room and looked at Clarence, who was eating breakfast on the chair. “Were you really the one who saved me?”
Clarence ate his porridge and chomped on his toast. He did not even lift his head. “Duh.”
The woman shook her head decisively. “I don’t believe you.”
“Whatever.” Clarence did not want to explain himself, anyway.
“You…”
The woman widened her eyes in anger. She thought Clarence would have explained himself, and she had not expected him to not offer her any information. She took a deep breath. She did not want to stoop down to Clarence’s level. “Tell me which master saved me. Ask them to come out, because I need their help.
“When that happens, not only will I pay them 130 bucks, but I’ll pay them 1.3 million, 13 million, or even 130 million. There won’t be any problem with that.”
Clarence scoffed. “Oh, you’re so petite, and yet you’re so confident.”
“What did you say?”
The woman frowned, immediately coming to her senses. She looked at Clarence as if she wanted to devour him alive. “You saw everything, didn’t you?”
Clarence placed his toast down. “Miss, if I hadn’t seen it, how was I supposed to treat the wound on your chest for you? If I hadn’t saved you, you’d be dead now. Do you think you can still scream at me right now?”
Clarence rolled his eyes. “If I had known that this would have happened, I wouldn’t have saved you. Now that I have, you’re mistaking my kindness for ill intent.”
The woman frowned, still standing her ground. She looked at Clarence in disbelief.
She still did not believe that Clarence was the one who had saved her. However, what Clarence said just now did not make it sound like someone else had saved her.
Had the old man from earlier saved her?
At that moment, Master Williams brought a backpack with bloodstains over. “Miss, is this yours?”
When the woman saw the backpack, she quickly walked up to it and grabbed it from Master William’s hands. Then, she held it tightly against her chest. “Don’t touch my things.”
Clarence was annoyed. “Miss, that backpack fell in front of the entrance of Thirteen Hall before I saved you. No one came looking for it even after an hour, so what could be inside it? Do you need to be so worried about something even a beggar doesn’t want?”
The woman huffed as she checked the contents of the backpack. “What do you know? This is even more important than my life.”
She looked through the backpack and made sure that nothing was missing before she let out a sigh of relief.
She rolled her eyes and looked at Clarence. “Were you really the one who saved me? Did you restore my broken meridians?”
Clarence rolled his eyes. He did not want to answer her anymore.
The woman’s eyes lit up, and she grabbed Clarence’s wrist. “Come with me!”
