I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Chapter 45 Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed

As night fell, Harriman Estate remained brightly lit, with the giant crystal chandelier burning continuously, making the estate even more beautiful.

Luxurious villas are nestled among the trees, like pearls.

In the pink-themed villa hall, Diana toyed with a pink crystal bottle in her hand and casually asked, "How's things been with Charlotte these days?"

The young man in black who was waiting nearby quickly replied, "Nothing else has happened in the past two days, but we received news today that Carol is supposedly looking for him."

"Carol is looking for him?" Diana paused, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "What does she want with him? Is she trying to poach him?"

"It seems... they want to kill him."

"The one who killed me?" Diana's alluring eyes instantly hardened with murderous intent. "Did he know I planned to groom him, so he wanted to nip him in the bud?"

"We don't know their purpose yet, but our informant in the Judson family is already investigating..." As the man in black spoke, a short bird call rang out from outside.

The man in black strode to the window, raised his hand, and a crow landed on it, its foot tied with a small bamboo tube.

He untied the bamboo tube, poured out a small piece of paper, and the man in black quickly glanced at it, his expression changing slightly as he said, "Miss, Carol's men have found Charlotte's whereabouts and plan to take action tonight."

"Take your men there. Anyone who dares to cause trouble on Bacca Street tonight, let them come in upright and leave horizontally." Diana's voice was cold and filled with murderous intent.

"Yes!" The man in black quickly left.

"Heh, this is the man I've set my sights on. He'll be the most profitable cash cow on Bacca Street from now on. Anyone who dares to touch him, I'll deal with them." Diana shook the potion bottle in her hand, and the pink liquid seemed to have become somewhat eerie.

……

In the dark alley, there were more than a dozen tall orc figures.

"Our target tonight is that little clinic on Bacca Street. After dark, we'll storm in, kill everything that's alive, and then come back with heads. Lord Carol said that potions will be free for the next two weeks!" The ferocious two-headed hound-orcs said in unison, their heads turned in two directions, drool dripping from the corners of their mouths, their emotions running high.

"Kill him! Kill him! Potion! Potion!"

A dozen or so orcs in the alley shouted excitedly, like hunting dogs that had spotted their prey.

The two petty thieves were about to go into the alley to divide their loot when they saw this scene. They were so frightened that they ran away as fast as they could, scrambling to their feet.

"Don't rush, let's wait until it's completely dark before we move!" The two-headed dog said with a grin, gesturing with his hands.

……

A delicious piece of wild boar meat allowed Vivian to temporarily forget her troubles. She closed her eyes and recalled some pleasant memories.

When she was little, she liked to sit on her father's shoulders. Her father was so tall and majestic, and from his shoulders, she could see the scenery in the distance.

Back then, my mother was still young, dignified and beautiful, and occasionally she had a lively side, such as secretly taking her out of the house through the back door to go to the flower market...

When she opened her eyes, a tear had already slid down her cheek.

"Is it that delicious?" Charlotte looked at her and picked up another piece of meat for her. "Eat slowly, there's plenty more meat."

"Mmm." Vivian nodded, forcing a smile, and continued eating her meat.

  

Charlotte also picked up a piece of meat and took a bite. The cooking time was well controlled. Because of the lack of seasoning, the original flavor of the wild boar meat was preserved to the greatest extent. The aroma of the meat was much richer than that of ordinary domestic pigs, which gave it a unique flavor.

The dried bamboo shoots are the finishing touch. Having absorbed the rich meat broth, the dried bamboo shoots are crisp yet chewy, with an excellent texture and flavor, making them a perfect dish to eat with rice.

The two people and the cat sat around a large pot of braised pork with bamboo shoots, and ate until the pot was completely empty.

Charlotte let out a burp, picked her teeth with a freshly shaved bamboo skewer, and was surprised by her own appetite as she looked at the large pot of food that had been almost completely eaten.

At least two-thirds of it ended up in his stomach.

It might be related to the fact that he just drank two bottles of strength-enhancing potion and gained 400 pounds of strength?

This earthen stove was a successful step in his renovation of the clinic. It was easy to use, and at least he wouldn't have to force himself to eat the world's unpalatable food anymore.

"I'll wash the dishes!" Vivian got up to collect the dishes.

Charlotte walked to the window and looked out. The abyss sky was now completely dark, devoid of light.

For some reason, he felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen tonight.

Just then, two red lights suddenly appeared in the fog on the dark street, moving quickly toward the clinic. Soon after, more and more red lights appeared, numbering more than a dozen.

The ground was trembling slightly, and hurried, heavy footsteps were approaching.

"Damn! They're serious!" Charlotte raised an eyebrow, turned around and grabbed the Judgment Sword leaning against the door, her face serious as she looked down at the gang that was still approaching the clinic.

The mist obscured their figures, but judging from their unusually glowing eyes, they were likely orcs.

Judging from this commotion, it's most likely that Carroll's people have come knocking on our door.

"Boss..." Vivian also noticed the unusual commotion and became nervous when she saw Charlotte's serious expression.

Charlotte whispered, "Take Anna and hide in the attic. They're probably coming for me. If I can't hold them off, don't make a sound. Leave here after dawn."

"But……"

"Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed."

Vivian hesitated for a moment, then picked up Anna and carried her to the room next door that led to the attic.

Just like the boss said, she only knows healing magic, and she'll only be a burden in battle.

Charlotte checked the magical runes hidden in her sleeves to make sure they were ready to be activated at any time, then wrapped the Judgment in cloth so she could deliver a fatal blow unexpectedly.

His swordsmanship was not yet up to par, so he could only hope that his opponent would underestimate him and give him a chance to launch a sneak attack.

But hearing this noise, he had already given up hope.

The other side has absolutely no sense of martial ethics. To deal with a useless person whose magical source has been destroyed, they actually sent more than a dozen orcs.

Orcs are the toughest and most of them have innate talents, possessing both strength and speed. Their red eyes often give them night vision, making them the most difficult to deal with.

Charlotte glanced at the direction of the back wall; climbing over the wall to escape was one option.

But where could he go after leaving the clinic?

As night fell, the abyss was filled with all sorts of demons and monsters, no easier to deal with than the dozen or so orcs outside.

While Charlotte was pondering this, the group of guys had already arrived at the clinic.

By the light of the lanterns hanging at the entrance of the clinic, Charlotte could make out the appearance of the orc leader.

It was a two-headed canine beastman over two meters tall, with a huge black dog head that looked extremely ferocious. Its sharp teeth gleamed coldly, and it was wielding an extended stone axe, which it brought down towards the clinic's door.

"An enhanced version of the dog head?" Charlotte was greatly shocked and silently gripped the Judgment.
