I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"Come on, try today's lobster, it's very fresh, and this fish soup, made from the head of a large deep-sea fish, is extremely delicious." Charlotte quickly put a lobster on Diana's plate and ladled her a bowl of soup as well.

"Eat more, you've been busy all morning," Diana said with a smile, placing a piece of fish on his plate.

"Okay." Charlotte breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw her genuine smile, and then lowered her head to eat the fish.

It seems I need to be more careful in the future and not show too much favoritism towards any one person.

Everyone looked at the three of them with slightly strange expressions.

They had never seen their teacher like this before. However, both Diana and Ruth were top-notch beauties, and it was truly remarkable that their teacher had managed to win them both over.

Kasha watched this scene with a smile that never faded, and even got up to help Ruth get more rice.

Vivian was initially a little sad, wondering why the boss wouldn't serve her any food.

However, she quickly turned her sadness into appetite, becoming so engrossed in eating rice that she completely forgot about the whole thing.

After lunch, Diana took Rose away.

She wanted to arrange accommodation for her and take her to have a few outfits custom-made, so that she wouldn't be too conspicuous walking down the street in this wedding dress all the time.

Charlotte knew that Diana wouldn't harm Rose, so she was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet.

Having the empress of the harem handle these matters saved him a lot of trouble.

After Evelyn had a seafood feast, she was full of energy again, which amazed her at the little guy's ability to recover.

Today's incursion into the succubus realm is an adventure for him.

His slaying of the level nine succubus Matthew and the level eight succubus Bivis was a test of his comprehensive application of the laws of space and swordsmanship.

As it turns out, with a little trickery, it is still possible to kill a Saint-level expert.

When these two principles are properly combined with movement techniques and combat skills, they can be described as unpredictable and impossible to defend against.

This news will likely spread quickly among the foreign guests, making him famous throughout the continent of Aesop.

This is not a good thing for him; a genius who is too flamboyant is prone to attracting attention and jealousy.

Besides, Capas is still in his hands. Before, he could use the excuse that he was not strong enough to kill Bill.

Now that Matthew is dead at his hands, it's reasonable for others to suspect him.

Charlotte could only hope that Maria could draw Cromwell's attention away and relieve some of his stress.

Evelyn played a crucial role in the ambush and killing of Matthew today.

If she hadn't suddenly appeared and used her Lion's Roar to momentarily distract Matthew, he would have had a hard time breaking through Matthew's Saint-level realm at full power.

He was acutely aware of the gap between himself and a Saint-level expert; in a normal fight, he would most likely be crushed.

However, as it turns out, an eighth-level mage is no match for him.

With the aid of his movement technique, he has countless ways to kill an eighth-level mage.

  

Back in his room, Charlotte turned on the black stone and glanced at it.

The witch told the Red Moon group about the successful demonization of three hundred sea creature mages. The demonized mages have already received their missions and are beginning to promote the demonization of the entire sea creature population, starting with small and medium-sized settlements.

[Night Watchman: The sea creatures are moving quickly. We've only corrupted a little over a hundred dark mages so far. Since Evelyn can corrupt three hundred mages at once, we should speed things up.]

[The Hermit: That's right, we don't have much time left. The more cities we can completely corrupt in the next two weeks, the more casualties we can avoid. This matter cannot be delayed. The first batch of elven mages who volunteered for corruption has been assembled, numbering 825, and will be sent to Kalva in batches.]

[The Light Chaser: The Los Empire has also assembled 982 mages, awaiting deployment and ready to be enchanted at any time. The Los Empire has numerous small and medium-sized cities with poor self-defense capabilities; please prioritize their use.]

[Technician: There aren't many mages in Eisen Iron Fortress; currently, only 52 have been assembled, but they are ready to be deployed at any time.]

[Merchant: I have already approved 1220 applications. All applicants are mages of level seven or higher with less than ten years to live, and are ready to be deployed at any time. I will provide them with generous rewards and compensation to guarantee their loyalty.]

[Shepherd: I'm not too clear on the situation with the orcs, but I heard that Karva also issued a recruitment notice yesterday, and quite a few mages have signed up, probably dozens.]

……

Charlotte was quite shocked as she looked at everyone's chat history.

Faced with the Red Moon crisis, a number of powerful individuals willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good emerged from various races across the continent of Aesop.

Those at level seven and above are considered true powerhouses on the continent of Aesop, having cultivated through countless hardships.

Demonization may result in death during the process, and even if it is successful, one may go mad and become possessed by demons after seeing those indescribable things.

It now feels as if the fate of the entire continent of Aesop is tied to this chat group.

Everyone's actions are driven by a desire to save the world.

[Miracle: Please rest assured, we will do our utmost in every demonic transformation.]

After sending the message, he quickly received a private message from the hermit.

[Hermit: The first group of elven mages is currently assembling and will arrive in Kalva tomorrow. Lois will be accompanying them.]

[Miracle: Okay, I'll receive them.]

Charlotte held these elves in awe. The elves were arguably the least worrisome race on the continent of Aesop at present, as their well-developed nettle defense system had already helped them withstand a beast tide without taking any damage.

Further targeted reinforcements this month will only make the Elf City impregnable, leaving the beast tide with no way to breach it.

Therefore, these eight hundred-plus elves who voluntarily underwent demonization were not doing so for the sake of the elven race, but for the sake of other races on the continent of Aesop.

They willingly became demonic to save other small and medium-sized cities from dire straits, willingly plunging themselves into a crisis of death and madness for them.

This alone was enough to fill Charlotte with awe.

Soon the Night Watchman also sent him a message, discussing with him the matter of the demonization of the magicians of the Los Empire.

Charlotte was quite cautious about this. Once activated, it would mean that he would be in the sights of the high-ranking officials of the Los Empire, and Cromwell would inevitably notice his presence.

[Miracle: As for the Los Empire, let's put them on the back burner for now. Evelyn can currently corrupt three hundred people every day. The elves, sea creatures, merchants, and those from Eisen Iron Fortress can all be put on the back burner first. Isn't the arrangement of the corrupted mages your responsibility?]

[Night Watchman: That makes sense, but the Los Empire has discussed this with me several times already. They're very eager to demonize a batch of mages first. You're unwilling to demonize their mages first; perhaps you have a grudge against the Los Empire? If so, tell me, and I'll negotiate on your behalf.]

[Miracle: I don't actually have any grudge against the Los Empire; I just simply don't like Cromwell.]

[The Night Watchman: In that case, I can't really say anything. Cromwell's affairs are, after all, the internal affairs of the Los Empire, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to interfere.]

[Miracle: It's alright, I was just saying it offhand.]

[The Night Watchman: Then let's do as you say, starting with the other races. We can send elven mages to the Los Empire to corrupt the weaker, smaller cities; that could solve the immediate crisis.]

Charlotte's lips curled up slightly. This was one of the advantages of being inside the organization; everything was negotiable.

After ending the conversation with the Night Watchman, Charlotte opened the Light Chaser's private chat interface:

[Miracle: How are the kidnapping negotiations going?]

[The Light Chaser: The letter has been delivered to Cromwell. He's reportedly furious, but as we requested, he's begun clearing the names of those on the list and petitioning for their pardon.]

[A miracle: Why would he be so cooperative?]

Charlotte was somewhat surprised; the progress was too smooth and exceeded his expectations.

[The Light Chaser: The people on this list mean nothing to him. Those he cares about are already dead in prison. But he's still counting on Capas to inherit his title, so he won't gamble on whether you dare to do it. However, he has also declared that if Capas doesn't return home safely, he will kill all those who were released at any cost.]

[Miracle: It seems that once this group arrives in Kalva, we'll need to take some protective measures for them. Otherwise, Cromwell will probably be furious when he sees his precious son turned into an idiot.]

[The Light Chaser: Are you going to turn Kapas into an idiot?]

[Miracle: If he weren't stupid, I might have died. Do you think he should be stupid?]

[The Light Chaser: Given your current importance in the plan to demonize everyone, no one dares to kill you, not even Cromwell.]

[Miracle: Do you really think Cromwell would care about this? Or rather, once there are enough corrupted mages, and I'm no longer necessary, who will protect me all the time?]

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

[Miracle: So, I can't rest easy until Cromwell is dead. When are you going to make your move? With such a tiger by his side, can the King really sleep soundly?]

[The Light Chaser: It's almost time. The King has already begun his operation, but he needs to deal with the nobles and local tyrants on that list first. Your capture of Capas has drawn most of Cromwell's attention, and this time it might actually work.]

[Miracle: I revealed my true strength today, killing a Saint-level succubus and an Eighth-level succubus.]

There was a long silence on the other end.

[The Light Chaser: ? ?]

On the top floor of the Star Gazing Pavilion, Maria stared wide-eyed at the Black Stone, looking left and right to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her; Charlotte had indeed described a Saint-level succubus and an Eighth-level succubus.

Kill them!

The last time I saw Charlotte was only a little over ten days ago; he was still a legendary magician.

Then today he told me he'd messed up big time, killing a Saint-level succubus and an Eighth-level succubus.

Is this something a human being could do?

[Chasing the Light: Did you raid a succubus's lair? A level nine succubus, if my information is correct, is either the Grand Elder or the High Priest. Which one did you kill?]

[Miracle: They really messed with the succubus's den, killing their Grand Elder Matthew, Chief Bivis, and their young chief Jason.]

[The Light Chaser: ...]

Maria stared at the black stone in shock; she was certain Charlotte wasn't joking.

This is just too shocking. He actually went to the succubus's lair, killed their Grand Elder and Clan Chief, and didn't even spare the Young Clan Chief.

This involves the old, middle-aged, and young all being taken down at once! What deep-seated hatred or resentment could there be?

[The Light Chaser: What's going on?]

[A miracle: It all started with a girl named Ruth...]

Charlotte briefly explained the whole story to the Light Chaser, because it concerned how he could avoid Cromwell's attention, so he didn't hide anything.

Maria looked at the long description Charlotte had sent on the Black Stone, her expression extremely complex.

Therefore, the young succubus clan leader, in order to forcibly marry Charlotte's beloved, ended up getting involved with the clan leader and the Grand Elder. Moreover, after being infused with divine power, he was even kidnapped by Charlotte.

The succubus clan lost both their wives and their soldiers, all of which benefited Charlotte. They were truly a great victim of injustice.

Charlotte is completely won, but the succubus high priest is probably crying her eyes out.

Although Charlotte claimed that he sent the witch with three hundred sea creatures to keep order for him, the Saint-level succubus and the Level 8 succubus died at his hands in full view of everyone present, an event witnessed by hundreds of guests.

A newly promoted Sky Knight has killed a Saint-level succubus; this news will likely spread throughout the continent of Aesop very soon.

Elizabeth was very strong, but she rarely fought against others. More often, she would slay monsters on the city walls on the night of the red moon to demonstrate her strength to the world. Although this was impressive, it ultimately lacked a certain degree of widespread appeal.

Charlotte killed a Saint-level succubus, a feat two levels above her own. The shock of this news was unimaginable and could not be concealed.

Cromwell had been investigating Capas's disappearance, but according to her informant in the Duke's mansion, Charlotte was not strong enough to commit the crime and had been ruled out as a suspect.

But now that Charlotte has suddenly revealed her strength and can kill a Saint-level succubus, Bill is no match for her either. She's also in the Abyss and has a grudge against Capas, so the suspicion of her committing a crime has increased significantly.

[The Light Chaser: Don't make any rash moves on your end. I'll try to draw Cromwell's attention to the Los Empire, but he'll most likely send people to Kalva and the Abyss to investigate, so be careful.]

[Miracle: In that case, I'm afraid I'll have to be more high-profile, let the world know my importance, so that Cromwell will be hesitant to act rashly against me.]

[The Light Chaser: That is indeed one way. If you're willing to first take in a group of magicians from the Los Empire and corrupt them, you can speak directly with the king.]

[Miracle: There's no need for dialogue. I just need the King's protection. It would be best if this message could be relayed to Cromwell; then my objective would be achieved.]

[The Light Chaser: If that's all, then leave it to me. When would you like to arrange for a mage from the Los Empire to come?]

[Miracle: An elven mage has already been arranged for tomorrow, so let's make it the day after tomorrow.]

[Chasing the Light: Okay.]

Charlotte turned around and went to the Night's Watch to tell him about it.

The Night's Watch didn't question Charlotte's fickleness much, but revised the arrangements and told Charlotte that he would personally greet the King of the Los Empire.

The plan to demonize everyone is ostensibly led by the Night Watch and the Hermits, so his words naturally carry more weight.

After making these arrangements, Charlotte put away the black stone, feeling much more at ease.

This world is too dangerous; we should be careful and prudent in everything we do.

Ultimately, it's due to insufficient strength. If he were a god-level powerhouse now, Cromwell would be the one feeling uneasy.

He didn't go to work in the morning, and the clinic was clearly understaffed, with several emergency patients who had lost limbs waiting in line.

So he took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to work with the others.

Nowadays, the clinic can fill all 1,000 appointments every day, and more than half of those patients come from people who have heard of Kalva.

Moreover, the availability of 1,000 appointments is clearly insufficient to meet the needs of patients, and the number of patients unable to get an appointment each day is increasing.

Improving the clinic's capacity to receive patients has become somewhat urgent.

Fortunately, Hattie and Kathleen's basic skills are improving rapidly, and they have gradually been able to start treating patients with minor injuries and practicing on patients.

Bernie, Kathleen, Hattie, Hannah, and Rachel—once these five second-term students are able to stand on their own, the clinic's capacity to treat patients will be greatly enhanced.

Charlotte also received another message: Daniel's Medical Clinic had also lowered its medical fees, with the same reduction as Fran's Medical Clinic, making it the second clinic in the Abyss to be forced to lower its prices due to the influence of the Abyss Medical Clinic.

With medical costs decreasing, Daniel's Clinic, which had been closed for half a month, has seen an unprecedented surge in long queues.

Patients whose capacity was insufficient at the Fran Medical Clinic all went to the Daniel Medical Clinic.

Charlotte didn't care at all. These patients were eager to recover from their injuries and had a little money in their pockets, so they were not the target customers of the Abyss Medical Center.

Moreover, Daniel's Clinic's patient capacity is not as good as Fran's Clinic's, and the number of patients it can attract is very limited.

To improve their patient capacity, they need to buy Deep Blue Magic Potions from him, which will allow him to make another profit.

This busy period lasted all afternoon, and the consultations didn't end until six o'clock.

"Boss, did you really go to steal the bride today? Are you really going to marry Ruth?" On the way back, Vivian moved closer to Charlotte, putting a few steps between herself and the others, and asked him with concern.

"Yes, I risked my life to rescue Ruth from the succubus tribe, so naturally I'm going to marry her." Charlotte nodded slightly, looking at Vivian who seemed a little worried, and smiled as she comforted her, "You're still young, why bother with these things? There are many more interesting and worthwhile things in life."

Two days ago, Vivian was so eager to repay his kindness that she wanted to marry him. Now it seems she wasn't joking.

Now that Ruth has just been brought back, and Diana has accepted her and treated her like a sister, if she provokes Vivian and causes trouble again, he's afraid he won't be able to handle it.

Moreover, as he said, Vivian is still young, only about fifteen years old, and Charlotte is still hesitant to do it. It would be better to let her stay for another two years.

"I'm not young anymore!" Vivian's voice suddenly rose.

The people chatting behind her fell silent and looked at her with suspicion.
