I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

what! ! !

Everyone at the table was so frightened that they all jumped up in fright, and even the brothers Alvin and Alva were so scared that they fell to the ground.

People and horses were thrown into disarray, and the scene immediately descended into chaos, drawing concerned glances from others in the banquet hall.

"Who are you?!" Alvin was helped to his feet by his underlings, glaring at Charlotte with a sinister look. The man was dressed in an extraordinary manner, but he didn't look familiar. He didn't seem to be the son of some merchant. He wondered if Roland had hired him from Calva.

The others in the banquet hall were also sizing up Charlotte. He was dressed in a smart black tailcoat, with a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and an elegant demeanor, just like a refined young nobleman.

Many noblewomen and young ladies secretly flirted with him. Such a high-quality man was a rare sight in the Abyss. Even Roland paled in comparison to him in terms of physique and appearance.

In contrast, Alvin and Alva, who stood in front of him, looked like country bumpkins, all dressed in gaudy colors and lacking any taste.

"If I heard correctly, the useless doctor from the Abyss Medical Clinic that you were just talking about behind my back is me," Charlotte said calmly, looking at him.

"Charlotte?" Alvin's eyes narrowed, the surprise and suspicion on his face fading, leaving only mockery: "How dare you, a fake medicine seller, come to the city lord's mansion? Aren't you afraid I'll have you tied up and burned at the stake?"

"That's right, you who made a deal with the devil, you heretic who deserves to be burned at the stake."

"I heard that he often cut open patients' stomachs and took out their intestines and bones. He might be a cannibal."

  

Alvin's henchmen echoed his sentiments, eager to have him burned at the stake.

People also have a great deal of curiosity about the fifth medical clinic in the abyss.

Most of the clinics in the Abyss are affiliated with the three major families, but this fifth one, named "Abyss Clinic," is not affiliated with any family.

The rumors about the clinic owner weren't as mysterious as they seemed.

The genius physician, whose magical origins were destroyed and who was banished by Kalva, unexpectedly attracted much attention again in the Abyss three years later.

This point is already somewhat beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Doctors usually treat patients with healing spells, so how did this doctor, whose magical abilities were stripped away, manage to heal his patients?

That's why there are so many stories circulating about him making a deal with the devil, being the devil's messenger, and selling the patient's soul to the devil, and these stories have become increasingly exaggerated.

Charlotte was not in a hurry upon hearing this. Instead, she said quite calmly, "Regarding what you said earlier, I want to emphasize two points. First of all, Ruth is a good girl. She is virtuous and did not leave Amman Street because she was bought by some wicked dwarf. Instead, she was chosen by the succubus race to go back and cultivate."

Secondly, I cured her illness. It was acute appendicitis, an illness that the four major medical clinics in the Abyss couldn't treat, but I could—that's my skill. Roland admitted it was a misdiagnosis; you two good-for-nothing playboys, what makes you think I sold Rose's soul to the devil to save her life?

Charlotte maintained a composed and assertive demeanor, offering reasoned and well-founded arguments. At the Duru Manor, she directly confronted the two young masters of the Duru family, which surprised many.

However, some people shook their heads, saying that young people being too impetuous is not always a good thing. Joseph has become the city lord today, and the Duru family is at the height of its power in the Abyss. Alvin and Alva are the eldest sons of the Duru family, and they are not easy to mess with.

Alvin and Alva were furious at being insulted. This was the Duru Manor, and they were practically the owners. They couldn't stand being treated like this.

"What a joke! Kid, your affair with Ruth is no secret. You say she was taken away by a succubus? Ha, I've never heard of any succubus. There are quite a few succubi in Amman Street, though." Alvin laughed angrily.

"Indeed, if such a place really existed, it would be a paradise for men. Could it be the Calva Lighthouse Pier?" Alvin sneered. "There are quite a few succubi there. It seems Ruth has changed venues. I'll go check it out tomorrow."

Snapped!Snapped!

Just then, two extremely loud slaps rang out.

Alva and Alvin's heads were slapped to the sides, leaving clear handprints on their faces that immediately swelled up.

Everyone fell silent upon seeing the woman who had suddenly appeared beside Charlotte.

"Ugh..." Alvin turned around, and after seeing who it was, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Monica, head of the Daniel family and owner of Amman Street.

Today, he was elected as the Second Elder of the Abyss Council.

The true power behind the scenes in the Abyss.

No matter how arrogant Alvin and Alva are, they can still roughly distinguish who they can and cannot mess with in the Abyss.

Charlotte also sized up the woman who had suddenly appeared beside her. Monica, though past her prime, still had delicate and smooth skin. She possessed the aura of someone who had long held a high position, as well as a mature charm that a young girl lacked. Unlike the youthful and energetic Ruth, she had her own unique appeal.

"The Succubus race's low profile doesn't mean they don't exist. You youngster, if I hear such insults against the Succubus race again, it won't just be a slap," Monica said calmly, her tone exceptionally cold.

Alvin and his brother Alvin shuddered, sensing the threat of death, and nodded hurriedly like chickens pecking at rice: "Understood, understood."

Monica was a succubus too, so how dare they say anything more? If they weren't at the Duru Manor, their heads would probably have been blown off by that slap earlier.

Monica then turned to look at Charlotte, her icy expression softening into a captivating smile. Her voice was gentle as she said, "Dr. Charlotte, I haven't had a chance to thank you in person for treating Ruth. Thank you again today for speaking up for her. I will inform Ruth when she returns from her studies."

Everyone was astonished. First, the Alvin brothers were proven wrong, and then Charlotte was given a shout-out. Monica's words also revealed that Rose had indeed returned to the succubus tribe, and that Charlotte had indeed cured her illness.

It is clear that Charlotte's medical skills are genuine and have earned Monica's approval.

"You're too kind." Charlotte nodded slightly. Having been captivated by Rose's alluring gaze, he was quite resistant to the charm emanating from Monica's words and actions.

Alva and Alvin, standing to the side, dared not utter a sound. Although they knew Monica wouldn't kill them at the Duru Manor, they still felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Charlotte, why are you here so early? I came all the way to pick you up." Just then, a voice rang out from the entrance of the banquet hall.

Diana, dressed in an ice-blue evening gown, walked in. Her long silver hair reached her waist, and she wore red high heels. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she walked to Charlotte's side, exuding a mature and sophisticated aura.

"What's the relationship between Miss Diana and Dr. Charlotte? Why would she go out of her way to pick him up?"

"The Abyss Clinic is located on Bacca Street, which is the territory of the Harriman family. I had long heard that Miss Diana had a close relationship with him, and it seems that the rumors were not unfounded."

"The two of them standing there really are a handsome couple, a feast for the eyes."

The guests whispered among themselves, while the fans who admired good looks were already shipping the couple.

Diana glanced at the Alvin and Alva brothers, each with one side of their face swollen, then at Monica standing next to Charlotte, her eyes full of amusement. "Aunt Monica, what brings you to this? Teaching the younger generation of the Duru family a lesson?"

It was perfectly acceptable for Diana to address Monica as "Auntie," showing a degree of respect befitting a junior.

But what women dislike most are those titles that make them look older. Monica frowned slightly and said, "They have foul mouths and insulted Dr. Charlotte and our succubus race. I'm teaching them a lesson on behalf of their parents so they'll remember it."

"You two, how dare you insult Dr. Charlotte?" Diana looked at the two of them, her voice exceptionally cold, her eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.

Alvin and Alva felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

Diana was their peer, even a few years younger than them, but she possessed exceptional talent and strength far surpassed theirs. Moreover, she was the undisputed heir of the Harriman family and had already been selected as an elder of the Abyss Council, making her status incomparable to what it once was.

However, this was, after all, the Duru Manor. Monica was an elder, so they accepted the beating and dared not cause any trouble.

But Diana was of the same generation, and the Tru family's strength was no less than that of the Harriman family, so there was no reason for her to be suppressed.

"Diana, I was just saying his medical skills are lacking, what are you going to do about it?" Alvin retorted, his neck stiff. He had already caught a glimpse of Kenneth walking in, which gave him a bit more confidence.

"That's right, he was expelled by Kalva and had his magical source destroyed. Can he be called a doctor? He's just a fraud!" Alva chimed in.

Snapped!Snapped!

Two more loud slaps followed.

Alvin and Alva stumbled back two steps and landed hard on their backsides, their other half of their faces swelling up instantly, both looking completely bewildered.

Monica could hit them, but why did Diana have the right to hit them... and hit them even harder than Monica!

Alvin moved his mouth and spat out two teeth.

The banquet hall fell silent again, and the guests stared in shock at the two brothers sitting on the floor.

Wow, a double victory!

Diana was truly ruthless; just because the two brothers disrespected Charlotte, she slapped them twice without the slightest hesitation.

Who exactly is this Charlotte?

What makes Monica and Diana so protective of him?

"Look, he's handsome, has a great physique, and long legs, so women like him."

"That's right. If it were me, I would also want to protect this handsome young man."

The women, gathered together, whispered among themselves.

Charlotte's lips twitched, but she tried hard to suppress a smile.

But looking at Monica and Diana on either side of him, and the brothers Alvin and Alva sitting on the ground with their cheeks swollen, a strange feeling rose in his heart.

To others, isn't this just being a kept man?

Hmmm...it smells so good!

"Diana! What are you doing?! How dare you cause trouble at my Duru Manor! Hitting my sons!" Kenneth rushed over in a rage, looking at his two sons, whose heads were swollen like pigs, with heartache in his eyes, and pointed at Diana, jumping up and down.

Kenneth was the second son of the Truman family and Joseph's younger brother. He held considerable power within the family and was also considered Diana's elder in terms of seniority.

"Kenneth, Aunt Monica and I are helping you discipline these two good-for-nothing sons." Diana looked at Kenneth coldly and said firmly, "Dr. Charlotte is a doctor respected by our Harriman family. Last night, in order to protect the Abyss, the Harriman family suffered heavy casualties, just like the Duru family. 124 Fox Guards who were wounded at the front line were brought back and all of them were sent to the Abyss Medical Center."

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Dr. Charlotte and Dr. Irene, only 3 people succumbed to their injuries, 10 suffered unavoidable disabilities due to organ loss, and all the other injured were saved.

Such a skilled doctor, a benefactor to the Fox Guards and the Abyss Guards, must be subjected to their insults here?

"I'm telling you, I, Diana, will not allow it! The Harriman family will not allow it either!"

Diana's words were forceful, assertive, and domineering, reflecting not only her attitude but also that of the Harriman family.

Given her current status and position, she certainly has the right to say that.

Kenneth's expression changed slightly; he clearly hadn't expected Diana to be so assertive, and he certainly hadn't anticipated that Charlotte and the Harriman family had this connection.

Alva and Alvin were stunned. If what Diana said was true, Charlotte had done a great favor for the Fox Guards.

Those from the Tru family present had varying expressions.

Last night's battle to stop the beast tide resulted in heavy losses for both the Harriman and Duru families, who were the main forces.

Of the Tru family's guards, twelve died and twenty-eight were disabled.

This was only possible because the Duru family owned two medical clinics, and three high-level healing mages, led by Roland, were able to minimize the casualties.

According to their original estimates, since the Harriman family did not own a clinic, the number of deaths and injuries should have been higher than that of the Tru family.

Who would have thought that Charlotte and her assistant alone could treat all the wounded, and that the mortality and disability rates were much lower than those of the Tru family!

This made the guests present look at Charlotte's medical skills with new respect.

This explains why Diana was so protective of Charlotte.

The kindness of saving hundreds of fox guards alone is enough.

Upon hearing this, Monica couldn't help but glance at Charlotte a few more times, seemingly lost in thought.

This kid is probably related to Amos's disappearance, and he has some emotional ties with Ruth. I didn't expect him to be so skilled in medicine. I underestimated him before.

"Even so, you shouldn't have so casually assaulted a member of the Duru family on my Duru family's territory. Even if your patriarch were here, you should have spoken to him properly." Kenneth's momentum waned under Diana's sharp words, but if he were to slink away like this, the loss of face would be irrecoverable. He forced himself to continue, "You... you apologize to him together, and that will be the end of it. Today is the day my elder brother was elected city lord, and I won't hold it against a junior like you."

Kenneth felt he had been kind enough; he just wanted a gesture that would save face for him.

"Apologize?" Diana smiled, looking at Kenneth's face, and suddenly felt an itch to touch him.

Charlotte coughed quickly, trying to remind her not to get too carried away. Although Kenneth was an old playboy, he wasn't a junior like the Alvin brothers. If he hit someone in front of so many people, the Duru family would probably lose face.

The city of Abyss has only just been established today, and it wouldn't be good if Diana, the ninth elder of the council, went to the city lord's mansion and beat her brother.

"Mr. Billy and Miss Jenny have arrived at the Calva Chamber of Commerce," the servant at the door announced loudly.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

Although Abyss has been built into a city, it is still a small place. The Kroll family of the Calva Merchant Guild is famous, and the Third Master Billy and the Eldest Miss Jenny are quite well-known figures.

If they could gain the favor of the Karva Merchant Guild, it would be a great stroke of luck for the Abyss family.

This can be seen from the fact that Roland was able to successfully rise to the position of council elder by virtue of his relationship with Jenny, which shows the status of the Calva Chamber of Commerce.

It should be noted that the regular caravan escort teams maintained by the Calva Merchant Guild are far stronger than the Abyss Guard Team.

At the entrance, Roland, dressed in a dark blue tailcoat, greeted Jenny and Billy as they entered the banquet hall, with Chief Joseph accompanying them.

This shows how much the Tru family values ​​it.

The people in the banquet hall were all drawn to the uncle and nephew, showering them with compliments and praise.

Jenny gave a few perfunctory replies, her gaze sweeping somewhat boredly across the banquet hall.

Billy nodded politely, not paying much attention to the sycophants. He had come to the banquet at Roland's invitation, and his elder brother had sent him to investigate the Duru family, which was why he and Jenny were here.

A flash of resentment crossed Kenneth's eyes, but he quickly signaled to his two good-for-nothing sons to get up. He said in a low voice, "We have distinguished guests present today, so let's leave it at that. I will personally visit Harriman Estate another day to demand an explanation from your father."

"If this were at Harriman Estate, I wouldn't hold back," Diana said, glancing at him with a hint of sarcasm in her smile.

"You..." Kenneth's eyebrows trembled with anger, but he dared not utter any harsh words to Diana. He turned his gaze to Charlotte, who seemed completely unaffected. He was the one who had caused this trouble, yet Charlotte acted as if she were detached from it all. She looked like she deserved to be taught a lesson, so he immediately sneered, "Charlotte..."

"Charlotte?! What are you doing here too!" Jenny noticed Charlotte standing in the corner and immediately walked towards her.

"Dr. Charlotte." Billy's eyes lit up as he followed Jenny over.

The dignitaries in the banquet hall were all stunned as they watched Jenny and Billy walk toward Charlotte.

Could it be... that this guy is also friends with Miss Jenny and Mr. Billy?

Joseph looked at Roland with some confusion.

Roland smiled without saying a word. He knew about Billy's treatment with Charlotte, but he didn't explain it to his father on the spot.

Kenneth was also stunned. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, feeling a mix of emotions. If Charlotte really knew Miss Jenny and Mr. Billy, then he wouldn't dare to do anything to her anymore.

Because Billy's illness was treated by Charlotte, his physical condition improved day by day. He gained ten pounds in half a month and got rid of his previous weak and powerless state. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was reborn. Jenny's attitude towards Charlotte became more restrained, and she no longer called him a scumbag at the drop of a hat.

However, that's not necessarily what they really think.

So when she saw Charlotte standing on either side of two beautiful women at this boring banquet, she decided to go over and check on the situation so she could report back to Elizabeth later.

"I received an invitation from Roland, so I came to freeload a meal," Charlotte told Jenny truthfully as she approached.

"Dr. Charlotte, it's been a long time. I was planning to visit you tomorrow," Billy said warmly, stepping forward and shaking Charlotte's hand.

"How's your condition?" Charlotte asked casually as she shook his hand.

Billy smiled and nodded, saying, "Following your doctor's orders, I've been injecting insulin on time every day, and it's been very effective. My blood sugar is well controlled, all my previous minor ailments are gone, and I've even gained over ten pounds. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago."
