I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

The clinic opened in the morning and received only seven or eight patients.

Vivian, Kasha, and Martha slept until noon; they were indeed exhausted from last night.

Charlotte had already prepared lunch, and the three of them washed up and started eating.

"Boss, have you been secretly taking some kind of tonic? You were much busier than me yesterday, and you still got up to open for business this morning?" Vivian asked Charlotte, chewing on her meat, her eyes full of suspicion.

"Hey, have a bottle too, I just happened to make it last night." Charlotte handed her a bottle of strength potion.

Vivian is a good girl, but she lacks stamina, which is not conducive to her overtime work. She needs to be properly nourished.

"This is good stuff. I'll drink it after I eat." Vivian happily put away the potion. After drinking it, she felt refreshed and her strength had increased.

"Kasha, did the potion you drank last night work?" Charlotte asked, looking at Kasha.

"Yes, it's very effective. It feels even better than the potions Leo made, and... it tastes better too." Kasha nodded, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"That's good. For the remaining five bottles, drink one after the Red Moon each month. I'll make you another one when you run out." Charlotte nodded, then looked at Martha, who was eating with her head down, and asked, "Martha, what kind of magical beast blood did you bring back last night?"

"We released the blood of three sika deer that only eat berries on Red Gan Ridge, without killing them," Martha replied, swallowing the food in her mouth.

Charlotte pondered, "If blood is sweet, then the meat must taste good, right?"

"Yes, the meat is tender and has a natural fruity aroma." Martha nodded, then added, "However, the meat of the demonic beasts corrupted by the Red Moon is rather sour and astringent, so killing them would be a waste of ingredients."

Look, this is what a discerning foodie is like.

"When are you free? Let's go for a drive in the wilderness, catch a couple and roast them?" Charlotte suggested.

Martha immediately perked up and said, "Okay, let them air out for a day today, and we'll go tomorrow."

A foodie who takes action.

"Can I join you? I also want to explore the wilderness." Vivian eagerly volunteered.

Charlotte and Martha glanced at her simultaneously and fell silent.

"You can ask your master for this, and he will definitely assemble a luxurious hunting party for you, which is safer," Charlotte suggested.

It's already extremely dangerous for him to venture into the wilderness; bringing along Vivian, that naive and innocent girl, is practically sending him to the jaws of monsters.

"By the way, you seem to have gotten even stronger. Did you find anything in the wilderness last night?" Charlotte asked Martha. He had noticed this when she returned last night, but Diana was there, so he didn't ask.

"Yes, last night's monster tide was stronger than the last one. There were quite a few low-level monsters that died from trampling in the wilderness, which created a lot of undead. Kuroko had a big meal, and my strength has also improved as a result. I should be breaking through to level four soon." Martha nodded.

"Blackie devours the dead, increasing its strength, and it even feeds back to enhance its own power. Your adorable pet is really something." Charlotte couldn't help but feel a little envious, glancing at Anna who was squatting to the side, happily munching on her food. "Unlike mine, which just knows how to eat."

"Meow!" Anna looked up at him, then slapped the face of the obedient black boy who was curled up in Martha's arms.

"Meow~" Kuroko shrank back, not daring to be angry or speak, and even imitated her meow in a somewhat ingratiating way, which can be said to be extremely humble.

Charlotte couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong with you, you black-faced guy? Are you so afraid of Anna? You don't have any of the aura of a black lion at all."

"If Anna hadn't been so amiable, I'd be eating under the table," Martha murmured softly. "Have you ever heard of bloodline suppression?"

Charlotte didn't quite understand, but she became even more curious about Anna's race.

Shortly after lunch, four fox guards passed by the gate, banging drums and shouting, "All Abyss residents, please proceed to the central square! The Harriman, Duru, and Daniel families have a very important announcement to make! It concerns everyone, so please be present!"

People from every household peeked out, curiously observing and discussing the scene.

"Are the three major families going to announce something really important? And all the residents of the Abyss are going? Such a grand spectacle," Vivian asked curiously, leaning against the doorframe.

"It's probably time for the city to be officially established. Last night, the Abyss Guards held the entrance and protected the Abyss, allowing the people at the bottom of the Abyss to feel protected for the first time. This morning, everyone was praising the three major families. If you don't seize this opportunity, it won't come again easily." Charlotte said softly, watching the crowd gradually surging into the streets.

"Building a city? That must be very exciting. Shall we go and take a look?" Vivian's eyes lit up.

"Build a city? Isn't the Abyss known for its chaos? If we build a city, how will it remain chaotic?" Martha asked doubtfully.

Although Kasha didn't speak, her eyes were full of curiosity.

"Let's go, let's join in the fun and witness history," Charlotte said with a smile, seeing that the three of them were full of curiosity, and followed the crowd toward the central square.

The so-called central square is actually just an empty space.

It is located at the intersection of the territories of the four major families. After hundreds of years of open and covert struggles, it is a buffer zone that does not belong to any of them.

However, these days it has been leveled and paved with uniform gray stone slabs, and it has indeed become a huge square, enough to accommodate 100,000 people at the same time.

A high platform was erected in the very center of the square.

Before long, the Abyss people who poured in from all directions almost filled the entire square, a spectacle never before seen in the Abyss.

This also shows that the Abyss Guardians' all-out effort to stop the monsters last night has indeed won the hearts of the people.

The people had mostly arrived, and the members of the three major families began to ascend the high platform.

The Harriman family is headed by their patriarch Alfred, followed by patriarch Dirk.

However, the most eye-catching was Diana in her purple dress, her hair pulled up high, which made her less charming than usual. She exuded a strong, powerful aura and attracted all eyes as soon as she appeared. Men and women alike were captivated by her stunning beauty.

"Diana is so beautiful! So cool! This outfit is so elegant, I'm so envious." Vivian looked at her long legs and shed tears of envy.

The Trullo family, led by patriarch Joseph, along with two other family members and the debonair Roland, also received considerable attention.

In the abyss, Roland has an immense attraction for both married and unmarried women.

The Daniel family, led by patriarch Monica, kept a relatively low profile, sending only two people.

There were ten people on the stage. Charlotte knew that these must be the ten elders of the Abyss Council.

Charlotte and her group were originally standing in the back row, but a fox guard who was maintaining order spotted them. Immediately, several fox guards came over and escorted them to the front row, where they stood with the members of the four major families.

"Thank you." Charlotte was somewhat surprised by the fox guards' attentiveness.

"You're too kind. You saved so many of our brothers; it's what we should do," the Fox Guard squad leader said with a smile, before leading his men to maintain order elsewhere.

Charlotte suddenly realized that it was because of the treatment of the wounded last night.

What surprised him even more was that even the members of the four major families, although occupying the front row, were all standing and were not given special treatment or seats.

He could even hear several ladies complaining quietly, but he didn't dare to actually turn his back and leave.

Next comes the somewhat uninteresting gilding process.

As a highly respected elder and the de facto head of the Harriman family, Mr. Alfred stepped forward to deliver a speech.

The report details the Abyss Guard's achievements in restoring order in the Abyss, the trials of the most heinous criminals, the brutal battle fought last night to stop the monster horde from entering the Abyss, and the heavy price paid.

The old man was extremely skilled, and his impassioned speech brought tears to the eyes of many older women and men, while also stirring the passion and emotions of the younger generation.

The changes in the abyss during this period are obvious to all.

While it's not quite time to say that people don't pick up lost items on the road or leave their doors unlocked at night, the chances of being robbed or killed while walking on the street during the day have become extremely small.

The existence of the Abyss Guardians established a new order in the chaotic Abyss, providing a layer of protection for the common people at the bottom of society.

"Today, Abyss City is officially established!"

When Alfred announced that Abyss was officially established today, and that the first Abyss Council would be formed, the Abyss Guard would be maintained on a regular basis, and a police station, prison, and tax office would be established, he received enthusiastic support from the crowd present.

The tidal wave of cheers and the hats tossed into the air seemed to shake away even the fog in the air.

Charlotte, who had originally just come to watch the excitement, was also caught up in the intense atmosphere. After her initial shock, a smile appeared on her face.

He looked up and met Diana's gaze from the platform. She was smiling too, and it was the first time he had ever seen her smile so brightly.

Alfred was elected Chief Elder of the Council, and Joseph became the first Lord of the City, serving a three-year term.

The Daniel family is not powerful enough to hold more than two seats in the council, with Monica serving as the second elder.

Thus, this gathering, which will surely be recorded in the history of Abyss City, came to an end.

Charlotte didn't join in the fun. She took the three girls back to the clinic. The crowd didn't disperse; instead, they took to the streets to celebrate.

Starting today, the Abyss enters a new phase.

According to the newly appointed city lord Joseph, the guard will continue to strictly maintain order in the abyss, ensure the safety of residents, and severely punish those who break the law and commit crimes.

"Boss, aren't you going to the Duru family's banquet tonight? It seems they planned this all along. Tonight you're attending the City Lord's banquet instead," Vivian said with a smile.

Charlotte was taken aback. If Vivian hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that there was a banquet to attend that evening.

She was right. Roland's father, Joseph, had become the city lord, so tonight's banquet would be held at the city lord's mansion, which significantly elevated the event's status.

"Your landlady will probably be attending a banquet tonight, so you can ask her to be your dance partner," Vivian suggested.

"I don't like dancing." Charlotte shook her head. She didn't know how to dance ballroom dances; at most, she would go over to freeload.

He didn't like this kind of excitement, but he still wanted to get to know the current high-ranking members of the Abyss after today.

He went upstairs, opened the wardrobe, and pulled out a black tuxedo from the far corner.

The materials and cuts were very exquisite, but it had been sitting for a while, so it was wrinkled, had lost its shape, and smelled musty.

"This is not good," Charlotte frowned.

"No problem, leave it to me." Vivian walked in, took the crumpled tuxedo from Charlotte's hands, and even helped him find a pair of equally dusty leather shoes in the closet.

A short while later, Vivian returned, carrying a tailcoat that had been cleaned and ironed perfectly.

The leather shoes were also cleaned until they shone brightly and had undergone a very thorough maintenance.

"Thank you." Charlotte smiled and accepted it, suddenly realizing the advantages of having a woman in the house.

No, he has three women and two cats in his house.

"When you come back, remember to pack some good food for me," Vivian said with a smile as she left the room, adding a final reminder.

Charlotte changed his clothes, tied a black bow tie in front of the mirror, and looked straight in the mirror. He wore a white shirt with a pompom collar, a black tuxedo, and shiny leather shoes.

He casually tousled his short brown hair, creating a stylish and sophisticated look. After all, a handsome face doesn't discriminate against hairstyles; he even looks good bald.

This outfit must have been custom-made for the original owner when he was in Kalva. Luckily, he didn't go on a muscle-building spree, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to wear it now. It fits him perfectly now.

Charlotte went downstairs.

"Wow, boss, you're like a completely different person!" Vivian was the first to come forward, marveling at the change.

When she was in the capital, she attended many high-society banquets. To be honest, none of the young men in the capital could compare to her boss.

Not only is he handsome, but he also has a great presence. Wearing this smart tailcoat, with his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, he looks every bit the noble young master.

Compared to those slick-haired teenagers, Charlotte's facial features are very strong, making her look more mature and charming.

It can be said that it appeals to all age groups, from naive girls of thirteen or fourteen to wealthy women in their fifties or sixties!

"Yes, it looks good." Kasha nodded, her eyes practically sparkling.

Martha glanced at it briefly before looking away, clearly uninterested in his new clothes.

"I'm getting ready to go out. You can figure out your own dinner. I'll leave you three silver coins. If you really can't find anything to eat, go to the bakery next door." Charlotte put down the three silver coins and turned to leave.

Upon opening the door, they found a carriage parked in front of it.

"You must be Dr. Charlotte. Principal Roland sent me to pick you up," the coachman said respectfully as he jumped down from the carriage.

Charlotte glanced at the Duru family crest on the carriage, smiled, and nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."

He had just been wondering if walking to the Duru Manor would seem unrefined, but Roland was much more considerate and sent someone to pick him up.

The carriage entered the manor and stopped in front of the banquet hall.

Charlotte stepped down from the carriage, glanced around but didn't see anyone she knew, and followed the maid's directions into the banquet hall.

This is a huge banquet hall, decorated with huge crystal chandeliers, exquisite murals, and gilded ornaments, making it magnificent. In the center is a dance floor.

Although the banquet had not officially started yet, there were already quite a few guests in the banquet hall, chatting in small groups.

Charlotte entered the banquet hall without attracting much attention.

He was somewhat amazed. The magnificent banquet hall made one almost forget that he was in the abyss, and that outside the manor, there were dilapidated streets and houses everywhere, and many poor people were struggling to make ends meet.

Even in a small place like the Abyss, the wealth accumulated by a large family over centuries of exploitation is still considerable.

"Amman Street has been incredibly boring lately; you can't find a single pretty dancer."

"That's right. Before, there was Ruth to hold things together. But after Ruth left, all that's left are scoundrels."

"Ruth is a real gem, but unfortunately she only sells her art, not her body. However, I heard she was bought by a dwarf for a high price."

"That's a sucker. I heard that Ruth is a bitch. She acts all high and mighty in public, but she's been having an affair with that good-for-nothing doctor on Bacca Street for a long time. He even stayed overnight at her place."

"Holy crap!? Is that true? Young Master Alvin, tell us all about it."

"Heh, this news hasn't spread very far, but I do know a little about it. Today I'll show you the true face of this bitch Ruth."

……

Charlotte noticed the hushed conversation of the group of young people nearby.

It's hard for him not to pay attention, after all, the useless doctor from Bacca Street that they're talking about seems to be him.

Moreover, Ruth is a good girl; she simply returned to the succubus race, not been bought by some foolish dwarf.

He looked up and saw five or six elegantly dressed young men sitting at the next table. The two leading men were wearing red and green tailcoats, with their hair parted in a 3/7 ratio, one on the left and one on the right. They looked very similar and were probably brothers. The words he had just spoken were spoken by them.

The three young men next to them were clearly trying to curry favor with the two of them, acting as their straight men.

Alvin and Alva, aren't they Roland's two cousins?

Charlotte had previously learned a little about the four great families of the Abyss and knew that the Duru family had two members, with only one simple note in the intelligence: an uneducated playboy.

"Speaking of Ruth, she had some incurable disease before, and was already judged by the four medical clinics of the Abyss to be a person abandoned by the gods. How could a perfectly healthy person be abandoned by the gods? She must have done too many shameful things behind the scenes."

"That's fine, she's a person abandoned by the gods, she should just go back and wait to die. But this woman went to the Abyss Clinic and was cured by that useless doctor. What do you think this is?" Alvin continued.

"Is that doctor's medical skill amazing?" one of the underlings chimed in.

"Idiot!" Alva rolled his eyes at him, then said mysteriously, "Who can save those abandoned by God except by making a deal with the devil?"

Everyone suddenly realized, and then their faces showed fear. "That...that doctor is a devil?"

"I think so." Alvin nodded, then analyzed, "If he weren't the devil, how could a useless mage who has lost his magical essence open a fifth clinic in the Abyss? He must have made a shady deal with the devil to continue treating people. Ruth's soul must have been sold to the devil by him as well."

The expressions on everyone's faces gradually turned to terror.

"Look at me, how much do I resemble the devil?"

Just then, a head suddenly popped out and asked in a sinister tone.
