I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"Please, distinguished guests, take your seats again. I'll have them bring you the food and drinks again. Tonight's meal is on the house as my apology," the chubby boss said with a fawning smile as he instructed his employees to clean the corridor.

The news that Elizabeth had killed Daryl with a single sword strike would surely spread throughout Calva very quickly.

The whole thing started because the boss wasn't firm enough and didn't stop Daryl, which led to the dispute in the private room.

If he had known that there was such a ruthless person in the private room who would kick Barton's balls at the slightest provocation, he would never have dared to let Daryl go upstairs.

If he doesn't make amends as soon as possible, he'll be packing his bags and leaving once the news reaches the Grand Elder.

"Look..." Loren looked at Charlotte, seeking her opinion.

He wasn't sure what Charlotte was thinking, nor did he know if he needed to stay and talk to Elizabeth alone.

"I'm not full," Martha whispered.

"I haven't even touched my chopsticks yet," Vivian added, looking forward to meeting Elizabeth later.

Charlotte smiled slightly: "Since someone is offering to pay for it, there's no need to be polite."

"Alright, let's continue eating and watch the show before we leave." Loren nodded, gave the fat boss a deep look, and the group returned to their seats in VIP box number 2.

Soon a waiter came and cleared away all the dishes from the table, replacing them with a new set.

Daryl's outburst, followed by Elizabeth's subsequent display of her talents, created a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Everyone was full of gossip about Charlotte and Elizabeth, but unfortunately, the person in question was right next door. After witnessing the invincible prowess of her sword strike, they dared not utter a word.

Charlotte didn't know what to say either; he was just as nervous.

Jenny clearly recognized him; Elizabeth's last glance said it all.

But he wasn't sure what Elizabeth's attitude towards him was.

The engagement was cancelled by the city lord's mansion; he was just a good-for-nothing who was jilted.

I wonder if he ever said, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!" when he was jilted.

Elizabeth still looks like a young girl, but she is very calm and speaks in a serious manner with a touch of childishness.

Especially when she pointed her sword at Daryl and declared him guilty of a capital crime, Charlotte even had the illusion that she was the true successor to the "Judge".

Trial, then verdict.

That's so authentic!

Even he, a descendant of the Judge who wields the Judgment Sword and practices the Judgment Sword, felt far inferior.

"Charlotte, when did you get so strong? Did you become a knight? But that Barton was Daryl's old follower, a level four tiger orc. How did you take him down with one punch?" Leo couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, that punch deformed his face, and that kick shattered his balls." Loren said excitedly, clenching his fist. He only regretted that he wasn't strong enough to get a couple of punches in earlier.

  

Emily looked at Charlotte with equal curiosity. In her memory, Charlotte had always been the kind of gentle, thin medical genius. Ten years ago, when he accompanied his sister to deliver a love letter for the first time, he looked thin and weak. However, today he struck with a heavy punch, crippling a tiger-beastman with a single blow.

"Perhaps, this is innate superhuman strength?" Charlotte hesitated for a moment before asking.

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately became somewhat strange.

You are a human with superhuman strength, and you smashed a level 4 tiger-type orc with one punch?

However, seeing that Charlotte had no intention of discussing the matter further, the others refrained from pressing her for more information.

"Given what happened today, Daryl will most likely want to cause you trouble, so you should be careful," Loren warned.

"Aren't you worried?" Charlotte asked, looking at him and Leo.

"He wouldn't have attacked us unless he was insane," Leo shook his head, then reassured him, "But don't worry too much, we won't reveal anything about you to anyone, and he shouldn't be able to find you for a while."

"Thank you." Charlotte nodded; he didn't want to get involved with Daryl anytime soon.

However, Leo's reminder was not without reason. Daryl could not get back the face he lost today from Elizabeth, and he would definitely want to vent his anger on him.

But when they reached the abyss, Charlotte's gaze turned slightly cold.

He won't hold back.

Suddenly, fireworks went off in the square outside the window. Fireworks shot up hundreds of meters into the air and then exploded into dazzling sparks, eliciting cheers from the huge crowd in the square.

The shadow cast by the red moon the night before seemed to have dissipated.

The girls gathered around the window, letting out gasps of amazement.

Charlotte stared blankly at the fireworks, lost in thought.

"See? I told you he's a scumbag. He went out with three young girls, one of whom was so young, she looked only thirteen or fourteen. He's a total pervert!" Jenny was pulling Elizabeth aside in the next private room and accusing her.

"That might just be his sister," Elizabeth said calmly, taking a sip of her drink.

"Sister! Did you see that mermaid in the long dress? Last time we met, she called Charlotte 'Mistress' to my face!" Jenny exclaimed angrily. "Sister, you're so beautiful and cool, why are you hanging on to that scumbag? Didn't you notice there's a whole forest out there while you were out in the wilderness?"

Elizabeth glanced at her and smiled, "Besides the forest, the wilderness is full of wild beasts and magical creatures. How about I take you there sometime?"

"Forget it, I'm the vice principal of Abyss Academy now, and the task of cultivating flowers is too heavy, so I won't go to the wilderness to be a savage." Jenny refused decisively.

"When did he become a knight?" Elizabeth suddenly asked.

"To be honest, I only just found out myself." Jenny shook her head, equally astonished to see Charlotte knock Barton unconscious with a single punch.

In her long memory, he was a frail fellow whose extraordinary talent in healing magic earned him great praise and attention.

Back in Calva, Elizabeth and Elizabeth, who displayed their talent as knights, were considered the two most outstanding talents of their time, so their engagement was highly regarded.

However, Charlotte's magical powers were stripped away, and after three years, he too became a knight.

It sounds pretty magical!

Moreover, the strength he displayed seemed to have reached the level of a high-ranking knight.

In three years, he went from a crippled mage to a high-ranking knight.

If this is true, it means he would also be an extremely gifted individual.

"I saw it in his eyes. If I didn't intervene, he would kill Daryl, and he was confident of that," Elizabeth said.

"He...he's that strong?" Jenny was even more shocked. "Daryl has already broken through to become an elite knight."

"He merely used various rare and precious treasures to forcibly elevate his realm. He has no real combat experience and has never experienced a life-or-death battle. He's just a useless elite knight." Elizabeth shook her head, slightly disdainful. "On the night of the Red Moon, I didn't see him on the city wall. Otherwise, he would have broken through in battle that night. Why did he only break through today?"

"Daryl has no combat experience, but Charlotte does?" Jenny asked again, puzzled.

"It seems you really wronged him. In a chaotic and disorderly place like the Abyss, he was able to survive on his own." Elizabeth said with some emotion, "So many years have passed, and he hasn't changed. He's still as self-reliant and strong as ever."

"Hey, wait a minute, why are you suddenly imagining praising him?" Jenny looked at her helplessly. "What do we do next? Should we meet with him alone? And Daryl, if they find out it's him, they definitely won't let it go."

"What should we talk about if we meet alone? What should I say if he asks me why I broke off the engagement back then? Will he still hate me?" A rare hint of nervousness appeared on Elizabeth's usually cool face.

"Sister, you're supposed to be the decisive Elizabeth, can't you be a little more mature?" Jenny covered her face, only when talking about Charlotte did she immediately become like a little girl.

Elizabeth immediately regained her cold demeanor: "That's right, you shouldn't have stopped me just now. If you had killed Randel, he would have been out of danger."

"If you kill him, the Second Elder will come knocking on your door tomorrow to fight you to the death. That old bastard had a son late in life and finally raised him to be a useful person."

"Ke Li is on my side."

Jenny shook her head: "You're not the city lord yet. In Kalva, some relationships are unavoidable. If we're really going to be strict about the law, half of the things those second-generation rich kids did should be executed."

"Then when I become the city lord, I'll drag them out and behead them." Elizabeth's face turned cold.

Jenny looked at her best friend and couldn't help but laugh. She really could do it in the future, after all, her idol was a judge who punished evil and promoted good.

"You don't need to worry about Daryl. I'll spread some false information to divert his attention from the Abyss, and then have someone keep an eye on him. If he tries anything against Charlotte, I'll let you know in advance."

"Okay." Elizabeth nodded.

"I think you two should meet. He's becoming your obsession. Why not talk things out face-to-face and put an end to it?" Jenny urged.

Elizabeth remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.

……

"Damn it, go find out who that kid is!"

"I must kill him to vent my anger today!"

Daryl and his group escorted Barton to the clinic, standing at the clinic's entrance and speaking angrily.

Patton's teeth were smashed out by a single punch and could not be repaired, so he became a toothless tiger.

More importantly, his testicles were completely shattered, beyond the repair capabilities of any healing technique. From now on, he would be a tiger without teeth or testicles.

That guy was too ruthless; one punch and one kick, and he crippled Barton.

He'll probably never be able to show his face in public again.

Because his face was smashed and deformed, although the doctor tried his best to repair it, the shattered nose and dislocated facial bones could not be easily repaired by magic.

They really have no shame.

Daryl had been in Calva for thirty years, and since he was a toddler, no one dared to mess with him.

He was once hailed as the number one swordsmanship genius in Kalva, a knight with monstrous talent, and the youngest intermediate knight.

Later, due to Charlotte's strong rise, his limelight was overshadowed, after all, that guy's talent in healing magic was too monstrous.

Three years ago, when Charlotte was dethroned, he held a three-day banquet, a grand feast for all.

Unexpectedly, the originally low-key Elizabeth began to show her talent, and in three years, she jumped from a high-ranking knight to an elite knight and then a legendary knight.

Just two days ago, on the night of the red moon, she killed a level 7 magical beast and dozens of level 6 magical beasts. Rumors spread that she had broken through to level 7 and become a Sky Knight!

You should know that just a month ago, on the night of the red moon, she had just broken through to become a legendary knight.

Such terrifyingly prodigious talent and rapid advancement shocked the entire continent of Aesop.

Many influential figures predicted that she would become a paladin before the age of thirty, the youngest paladin in the history of the continent of Aesop.

Daryl has always believed that he and Elizabeth are not much different.

But that previous sword strike had shown him the gaze of death; the gap between him and her was like an insurmountable chasm, a world apart.

This made him lose the idea of ​​getting revenge on Elizabeth, and he even consciously avoided such thoughts and impulses, turning his attention to what he believed to be the instigator—the unremarkable scarred man.

If he were any more sensible, he and Patton would probably be at the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion right now, drinking with beautiful girls and watching the Lantern Festival performances.

It's all his fault!

……

The performances at the Lantern Festival were spectacular, with performers from various ethnic groups presenting diverse and unique shows.

There were even giant dragons hovering low in the air, performing fire-breathing and snow-scattering acts, which drew cheers from the children on the street.

Kasha, Vivian, and Martha simply moved chairs and sat by the window, refusing to budge.

Vivian and Martha, however, were busy eating, their lips glistening with oil and their cheeks bulging.

Charlotte watched with great interest; there was no nightlife in the Abyss, only monotonous and tedious work.

He used to have Amman Street to pass the time, but ever since Ruth left, he no longer wanted to go there.

To make amends, the owner of Zuixianglou went all out, serving a large table of various high-end dishes and even giving away several bottles of fine wine.

Most importantly, they experienced the joy of getting something for free.

The performance came to an end, and everyone was full and satisfied.

"Let's go, the lantern festival parade is about to begin, and the night market is also very lively right now. Let's go take a look," Loren suggested, getting up.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the night market and buy things!" Vivian nodded. Before leaving, Charlotte gave each of them an advance of three thousand copper coins, enough for them to buy quite a lot of things at the night market.

As Charlotte went downstairs, she glanced at VIP Box 1, then lowered her head and quickly followed the others.

"Let's go check out the night market and maybe bump into each other. I'll keep watch for you." In booth number 1, Jenny took Elizabeth's hand and followed her downstairs.

The streets were packed with people, and those gathered in front of the stage had not yet dispersed. The night market was right next to the stage, with thousands of stalls of all sizes stretching out like a long dragon. The vendors were selling all sorts of items, including food, jewelry, perfume, and even swords. You could find anything you wanted here.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Charlotte felt a little apprehensive; he disliked overly lively places the most.

"Leo, you take them for a stroll. I'll just wander around the outskirts. We'll meet up again in front of the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion later." Charlotte greeted Leo, but before she could finish speaking, they were swept away by the crowd.

With Linda looking after them, Charlotte wasn't worried about them getting lost.

Wandering around the stalls at the very back, you can mostly buy some festive trinkets, pretty lanterns, light-up sticks, and some snacks. Because it's located in the back, it's not as lively, and it's quieter to stroll around.

Charlotte wandered aimlessly, her mind still preoccupied with how to prepare for Daryl's retaliation once she got back.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Because someone was blocking his way, a figure in white came into view first. He looked up and met her eyes.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat. She had miscalculated. Now that she was alone and had been cornered by her, she couldn't pretend she didn't know her anymore.

"What a coincidence," Charlotte said, sounding slightly embarrassed.

"Yes...yes, what a coincidence." Elizabeth gave a stiff smile, reached out to brush aside her non-existent bangs, and then awkwardly lowered her hand.

Charlotte was quite nervous at first, but when she saw Charlotte lower her hand and start rolling up the corner of her clothes, she suddenly found her rather cute.

Moreover, she seemed even more nervous than he was.

"How about we go for a walk up ahead?" Charlotte suggested. There were many people coming and going, and Elizabeth was too conspicuous.

"Okay." Elizabeth nodded and followed Charlotte down the path in the opposite direction from the night market.

The paths in the square park are paved with smooth pebbles and meander along the way. Every few meters on either side, there is a lantern, casting a soft, dim light and creating a tranquil atmosphere.

The two walked side by side without saying a word.

Charlotte was not familiar with Elizabeth and had no related memories, so she dared not speak carelessly.

Elizabeth had clearly come to see him specifically, so he wanted to hear her thoughts first before making any decisions.

"Can you take off your mask?" Elizabeth suddenly stopped and looked at him, speaking softly.

Charlotte paused for a moment, then reached out and removed the disguise hood.

Looking at his familiar face, Elizabeth said, "It's been three years, and he hasn't changed much."

"You too, you're still so beautiful," Charlotte said politely.

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become much more relaxed, and the two continued walking forward.

"Do you still blame me for breaking off the engagement three years ago?"

"It's not my fault. For both of us, it was the right choice." Charlotte shook her head slightly.

Elizabeth remained silent. Three years ago, she truly had no choice; if she hadn't broken off the engagement, he would have died in prison.

"You're getting stronger very quickly. It won't be long before you become a new legend in Calva," Charlotte said sincerely, looking at the girl beside her.

He is witnessing the birth of a legend.

But now this legend is right beside him, strolling along the street and chatting awkwardly.

He didn't know what she was thinking, but he was a little flustered.

"Yes, I will become stronger until no one dares to hurt you again," Elizabeth said firmly, looking at him.

Charlotte: "..."

……
