I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

In sight was a dimly lit room with a bizarre layout. One half resembled a torture chamber, filled with various instruments of torture, with a branding iron still burning nearby. The other half was a normal bedroom, where a disheveled woman was half-naked and chained to the bed, twisting her body in an attempt to break free of the chains binding her hands and feet.

However, the black chains were thick and heavy, clanging with her movements, but she couldn't break free at all.

The woman sobbed softly in despair. In the dim light, one could see that her body was covered with various wounds, and one could imagine the torture she had endured in this small, dark room these past few days.

"That bastard." Charlotte couldn't help but clench her fist, suppressing the urge to rush forward and save him.

"We should rescue her as soon as possible." Roland's face was also ashen. He hadn't expected that such a thing would still exist in the Abyss after the city was built, especially since it was done by members of their Duru family. This made him feel ashamed and angry.

"She's already endured all the suffering she needed to endure, so there's no need to rush. Swah should be arriving soon, and catching her red-handed will save us a lot of trouble with subsequent investigations and arrests." Diana shook her head slightly.

"Miss, Sva's carriage has arrived." At that moment, Buddy hurried in and said in a low voice.

"Alright." Diana stepped forward, pressed a recording stone onto a small hole, and activated the array inscribed on it. "Tell the fox guards lying in ambush to be careful and not let a single one escape. Remember, capture them alive so you can pry more useful information out of them."

"Understood." Buddy nodded and left.

At the same time, the door to the next room was pushed open, and Sva, pale-faced and beardless, looking like he had kidney deficiency, walked in with four orcs, grinning maliciously.

"Don't come any closer!" Melba, who was locked to the bed, struggled in terror, trying to back away from the group of guys.

  

But the chains were short, and she was locked tightly to the headboard, with nowhere to retreat.

"Hahaha, don't struggle. You know it's useless to struggle." Sva grinned and stepped forward, grabbing the chain around Melba's neck. He looked at her and said, "You're lucky. I was planning to toy with you for a while longer, but things have gotten a bit tense lately. Grandfather told me to be more discreet. I'll have them gang rape you in a bit. You'd better struggle as hard as you did before. Then I'll bury you in the backyard. The spring flowers should bloom even more beautifully by tomorrow."

The orcs standing behind him laughed, their eyes filled with evil light.

"No...don't come any closer!" Melba cried out in terror, but he couldn't break free from the chains pulling at his neck and was being dragged toward him little by little by Sva.

"If only you had given in to me the first time we met, your unfortunate husband might not have died. Where could you have escaped to in this abyss? I am Sva of the Duru family. There is no woman I cannot have! I have buried more than a dozen women like you in my backyard. I played with them until they were dead and then buried them. This is the same fate you will suffer today." Sva laughed maniacally, his pale face contorted with rage.

"You beast, you'll die a horrible death!" Melba cursed resentfully, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Go ahead and curse. The more you curse, the more excited I get." Swah's eyes gleamed as he slowly tightened the chains. He enjoyed watching a woman's desperate expression.

The four orcs guarding the door also had wicked smiles on their faces. They had been coveting Melba for more than a day or two, but it was just a plaything of Young Master Sva. They were not allowed to touch it until he got tired of playing with it. Today, they finally got permission.

boom!

The wall behind them suddenly exploded.

Sva and the other orcs turned around in surprise, only to see a figure already passing through the wall.

A flash of sword light, and the iron chain that Sva was holding snapped in his hand.

The longsword spun around, and a wisp of sword energy slashed past Sva's crotch.

The magnificent robe shattered, and blood splattered.

Swah felt a chill in his groin, and a sharp pain shot through his brain. He screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his groin with both hands, his face contorted in agony.

The orcs were shocked and drew their weapons. Two of them rushed forward and stood in front of Sva.

Melba was also stunned. She had originally prepared to bite her tongue and commit suicide to avoid the humiliation.

The chain around his neck loosened, and a tall figure appeared before him, holding a black longsword in his hand.

Ding!

With a slight movement of the longsword, the dozens of pounds of chains binding her were all severed, and her body instantly felt lighter.

The man turned around, covered her with a garment, and said gently, "Melba, Job sent me to rescue you. You are safe now."

Melba was stunned for a moment, and then tears finally welled up uncontrollably.

Job was her father-in-law, and it was he who sent people to rescue her.

Having been tormented in this dark and gloomy room for several days, Melba, who knew Swah's identity, had long given up hope of leaving alive. However, she was pregnant with Kagel's child and was unwilling to die like this.

Just as Sva was determined to kill her, her savior unexpectedly appeared.

"Who are you?! Do you know whose residence this is?!" an orc shouted, his voice trembling with fear. This man was too fast; they were clearly no match for him.

"Damn it! Kill them! Then take me to the clinic right now!" Swah yelled, his face contorted, clutching the severed genitals in his hand.

"Swa Duru, the youngest grandson of Alden, the first elder of the Duru family, the infamous second-generation rich kid of the Abyss, right?" Charlotte said calmly.

"You know who I am, and you still dare to lay a hand on me?!" Sva glared venomously at Charlotte, then her gaze suddenly sharpened, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You're Charlotte!"

"Yes, it's me." Charlotte nodded slightly.

Swah's face remained filled with resentment as he roared, "Bastard! My grandfather will never let you get away with this!"

However, a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes. Charlotte was the one who orchestrated the Anselm affair, and the Harriman family was behind her.

"You'd better think about how to get out of the police station first. I will never let you go, you beast." Diana walked out from behind the broken wall with a cold face, her cold eyes falling on Sva and his four orc guards. Her undisguised killing intent made them tremble with fear.

A dog barked outside the door, but soon only whimpering remained. Accompanied by footsteps, a dozen fox guards in black armor surrounded the house, their crossbows almost pressed against the orcs' heads.

The orc guards dropped their weapons in terror and knelt in surrender.

"Diana! You set me up?!" Sva had come to her senses and glared angrily.

Diana stepped forward and delivered a resounding slap to Sva, knocking out three teeth and swelling half his face. She coldly said, "You think you need a setup to get me? All the dirty work you've done is enough to get you to the gallows ten times over. Get ready for your trial and hang!"

"You know who my grandfather is, you can't hold me! The Duru family will not allow its members to be captured by your Harriman family!" Swah spat out a mouthful of blood, his neck stiff as he stubbornly continued.

"The Duru family will not allow scum like you to ruin the family's reputation. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with the Harriman family. It was a rescue and arrest operation initiated by the police station under the supervision of two members of the Abyss Council." Roland walked out with a solemn expression, looked at Sva whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and said coldly, "Sva committed murder, stole his wife, imprisoned and abused the victim. He was caught red-handed and arrested according to the law. He will be tried."

"Roland!" Sva panicked completely upon seeing the newcomer, then roared in utter fury, "You traitor! You actually conspired with foreigners to assassinate me!"

"You're wrong. This wasn't an ambush; it was a well-planned arrest operation." Roland looked at him calmly.

The fox guards stepped forward and put shackles and gags on the orc guards to prevent them from escaping or biting their tongues to commit suicide.

Sva, who had always been the one to put shackles on others, tried to struggle, but the two fox guards pressed him to the ground with their legs, tied his hands and feet behind his back, and were about to stuff a rag into his mouth. Finally, he panicked and looked at Roland and pleaded, "Brother Roland, please heal my wounds. For the sake of our brotherhood, please help me set my severed limbs."

His face was pale, and he was covered in sweat from the pain and panic. He was still clutching his severed genitals in his hand. His fine clothes were stained red with blood, and he looked disheveled. There was no trace of his previous arrogance.

"Why bother connecting something useless? It's just adding to your troubles. Do you really think you'll ever get out of the police station and need that thing?" Charlotte stepped forward and kicked him in the elbow.

What Swah was holding flew out of his hand, over the door, over the high wall, and disappeared without a trace.

"My cow!" Sva roared as he turned around, his face filled with despair and his eyes completely lifeless.

"Take them out, dig up the backyard, and see how many more victims there are," Diana ordered.

The fox guards immediately stuffed a rag into his mouth to gag him, and then carried him out, one on each side, leaving blood dripping all over the ground.

Roland glanced at Charlotte, a slight smile playing on his lips. This guy's style of doing things was indeed interesting.

Charlotte sheathed her Judgment Sword, turned to look at Melba, who was clutching the clothes draped over his body and trembling slightly, and said, "Don't be afraid. They are from the police station. Sva and his wicked servants have been arrested. You'll be able to go home soon."

"Thank you, thank you all." Melba bowed gratefully to everyone, tears streaming down her face.

She never imagined she would survive and get out of here, and that she would see Swah crippled and imprisoned.

Diana looked at Melba and said, "I am Diana. Sva has quite a background. Until the case is officially closed, you will stay at Harriman Manor for refuge. I will guarantee your safety. What do you say?"

Melba looked at her. She had naturally heard of Diana's name, but this was the first time she had met the eldest daughter of the Harriman family. Her powerful aura made her afraid to look directly at her, while her earlier act of slapping Swa out of three teeth made her feel very safe. Melba quickly nodded and said, "I am willing to follow your arrangements."

"Buddy, arrange a car to take her back first, and have Agatha arrange accommodation for her," Diana instructed Buddy.

Buddy agreed and took Melba out.

After taking two steps forward, Melba stopped and bowed to Charlotte, saying, "Thank you. If possible, please inform my father-in-law that I am safe and sound."

"I will," Charlotte nodded, though he had no idea where Job had gone.

Melba was taken away, while Charlotte and her group left the house and went around to the backyard.

Sva and the orc guards were taken to the backyard, where the flowerbeds were dug up, and soon more than a dozen corpses were unearthed.

Some have already turned into piles of white bones, while others have only just begun to decompose, with the time span of the damage possibly being three or four years.

Charlotte retreated outside the yard after the second body was dug out; even as a doctor, he couldn't stand the sight.

Before long, Roland also came out quickly, leaned against the wall and vomited until only bile remained before he could barely stop. He took the handkerchief Charlotte handed him, wiped his mouth, and whispered, "He's only eighteen years old, and he's done no less evil than Anselm. It's not too late to kill him now."

"Can Alden hold out?" Charlotte asked.

A ruthless glint appeared in Roland's eyes: "Whether he can withstand it or not, he has to die, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

Just then, a stray dog ​​walked by, picked up a piece of meat from the corner of the wall, and ran away.

"He will die," Charlotte said, her tone calm and certain.

"You two men, is this all the self-control you have?" Diana walked out the door, glanced at the vomit in the corner, and mocked.

"He vomited, it has nothing to do with me." Charlotte took a step back and handed over a bottle of hemostatic medicine. "Pour some into that kid's head, it'll be no fun if he dies."

"Swaa, are you planning to bring him back to Harriman Estate?" Roland asked, looking at Diana.

"No, I'll send him straight to the police station." Diana shook her head and laughed, "If I bring him back to Harriman Manor, wouldn't that give Alden the opportunity to frame me for personal revenge? I've arrested him, and I've secured the evidence. You can't expect me to do everything, can you?"

"I understand. I'll head back to Durut Manor now." Roland nodded.

Diana arranged a horse for him.

Sva and his orc fox guards were loaded onto the carriage. Charlotte noticed that the fox guards were also loading the excavated corpses onto the carriage, and asked in confusion, "Are they in such a hurry to take the corpses back?"

"If we leave it here, even if we send someone to guard it, it will be erased from our traces very quickly. That's the abyss," Diana said.

Charlotte nodded thoughtfully; Diana clearly understood the true Abyss better than he did.

"The news that you crippled Sva will probably reach Alden soon. He's his most precious grandson, and he definitely won't let you off the hook. Why don't you come stay with me for a few days?" Diana said to him, her smile on her lips, but her expression was serious and earnest, not like she was joking.

"How strong is that old man?" Charlotte asked curiously.

Diana said, "This level six old man, the current face of the Duru family, is even stronger than me."

Charlotte felt a little more confident and shook her head slightly: "After all, Bacca Street is Harriman's territory. He shouldn't go so far as to come knocking on our door."

"You've already come to his door and crippled his grandson, and you still expect that old man to have some martial ethics and not come to your door to deal with you?" Diana laughed.

"There are so many people at the clinic, wouldn't it be inconvenient if they all went to your place?" Charlotte asked, somewhat embarrassed.

"What's the big deal? I'll arrange a house for your employees and students. You can just squeeze into my villa. There's enough room, it's very convenient." Diana's lips curled up into a wild smile.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Charlotte didn't refuse.

In the past two days, he has been rapidly increasing his strength at a rate of 100 bottles of power potion per night, and his strength is constantly approaching the peak of elite knights.

Alden, at level six, has a limited fear value.

Only after reaching level seven can one comprehend and control a domain. In the last battle with Lorenzo, it was only by using the Palm Thunderstorm Technique that I was able to break his domain unexpectedly.

At that time, he had just broken through to become an elite knight, yet he was able to overpower Lorenzo, who had no domain.

His strength is now close to the peak of an elite knight, and he is not afraid of facing Alden, who is at level six.

However, just to be on the safe side, and to prevent the old man from ambushing his students and Kasha, he agreed to Diana's suggestion.

We'll make plans after the Svay incident settles down, which should take about a few days.

"Did Job leave you an address?" Diana asked.

Charlotte shook her head: "No, I just told him to come see me in three days, which is tomorrow."

"Alright, if he comes looking for you, tell him to come to Harriman Estate to see me, so he can meet Melba." Diana nodded slightly, then arranged for Buddy to take Charlotte back to the clinic.

Charlotte had no intention of going to the police station. He didn't want to be a doctor who punished evil and promoted good; he only wanted to be a doctor who healed the sick and saved lives.

Melba was rescued, and Swah was taken to the police station. What followed was infighting within the Duru family, as well as a power struggle between the Harriman and Duru families.

As a catalyst, he has done his job exceptionally well.

For example, the fact that he severed the root of Sva's troubles with a single sword stroke and was then carried away by wild dogs meant that he could no longer reconcile with anyone present, and someone had to be hanged on the gallows.

Roland is the son of the city lord and a member of the Abyss Council. Unless Joseph falls from power, it will be difficult for him to be hoisted up.

Diana is now regarded as the spokesperson for the Harriman family. With a cunning old fox like Alfred in the family, even Alden wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her.

He, the one who accepted the lawsuit and instigated the trouble, is clearly the easiest target to manipulate.

He hid in Harriman Estate, moved into Diana's villa, and stayed in the safest place in the abyss.

Alden will most likely be driven to his death by anger.

Back at the clinic, Charlotte announced to everyone that starting that night, they would be sleeping at Harriman Manor every night.

"Boss, what happened? Why do we suddenly have to move into Harriman Estate?" Vivian asked Charlotte, puzzled.

The others also stared at him in bewilderment.

Charlotte explained with a smile, "The Abyss has been quite turbulent lately, and the landlady is worried about the safety of us tenants, so she sincerely invited us to stay at Harriman Manor. As for how many days we'll stay, it's undecided for now and depends on how things develop."
