I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"So, you can at least cultivate to the Saint level." Charlotte suddenly realized, no wonder Diana was so favored in the Harriman family, she was destined to be the leading lady from childhood.

"It's not that I'm guaranteed to reach the Saint level, but until I do, the laws won't become an obstacle preventing me from leveling up," Diana corrected.

Charlotte remained silent. For those above level seven, the most difficult thing is to comprehend the laws.

Diana has essentially activated a cheat code, exempting her from this step. With her talent for cultivation, advancing to the next level shouldn't be too difficult.

This did pique Charlotte's interest. As a member of the demon race, she also cultivated strength and speed, which is why a bottle of power potion had helped her break through to the next level.

When the potion no longer has much effect on him, he can give some to Diana to help her cultivate and break through her limits.

Charlotte took this shortcut, and Diana naturally took it too.

However, he still doesn't know how many more potions he'll need to break through to the God level, since breaking through to the Star Knight level requires accumulating a wealth of 100 million copper coins.

How much energy is needed to break through to the Saint level? How much energy is needed to break through to the God level?

Regardless, he will prioritize improving his own strength so that he can protect those he wants to protect.

Diana's natural talent for cultivation is quite good, so it's fine to let her cultivate on her own. It would be a better choice to use a powerful potion to help her break through when she's about to achieve a breakthrough.

The bath started to feel a bit off, but luckily Charlotte had a good sense of time and finished quickly after half an hour.

"Ruth is a virgin, she'll probably sleep in quite late." Charlotte came out of the bathroom and looked at Ruth, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Don't worry, I'll have Agatha take care of her. Besides, she has a little maid who can make her something to eat when she wakes up," Diana said as she wiped the water off Charlotte's back.

Charlotte turned around, took her hand, and gently stroked her face with her other hand, saying somewhat shyly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Diana looked up at him: "I just want to know, how many women do you plan to marry?"

"It's getting late, I'll head back now." Charlotte put on her clothes and hurriedly left.

Diana smiled and shook her head. She walked to the bedside and looked at Ruth, whose face was fair with a rosy glow. She couldn't help but sigh softly, "As expected of a succubus, even I couldn't resist that voice, let alone a man."

……

"How's the matter with the Pharmacists' Association going?" Jenny asked her guards in the office on the second floor of the Pharmacy Trading Center.

The guard hurriedly said, "Young Miss, Charlotte's photographic record is proof of this matter, the evidence is conclusive. After the people were handed over to the Calva Police Station, an investigation was immediately launched. Now, all nine pharmacists involved have been arrested. I inquired and found that the president of the Pharmacists' Association, Gibran, and Lovell are the main culprits and will likely be hanged. The other pharmacists are accomplices; they did not participate in the specific criminal acts, but they premeditated the crime and signed an agreement, so they will also be severely punished. The pharmacy will definitely be closed, and they may even be expelled from Calva."

"The police station is quite efficient these days. This is about right." Jenny nodded, then said with some annoyance, "These guys are really despicable. They actually dared to set their sights on the apothecaries at the potion workshop. If Charlotte hadn't noticed in time, it would have been a big disaster."

"Miss, this morning I also heard a rumor about Charlotte," the guard said hesitantly.

"Oh? What gossip?" Jenny picked up her glass and took a sip of water.

The guard said, "I heard it from a goblin merchant while I was having breakfast this morning. He said that yesterday the young chieftain of the succubus clan was marrying the saintess, but Charlotte broke into the succubus clan's lair alone, killed the succubus clan's elder, chieftain, and young chieftain, and even kidnapped the saintess."

  

puff--

Jenny hadn't even swallowed a mouthful of water before spitting it all out onto the guard's face, exclaiming in shock, "What did you say?! Charlotte went to the succubus tribe to steal a bride? And she even wiped out the succubus elders, the clan leader, and the young clan leader all at once?!"

The guard wiped his face and nodded, saying, "That's true, but I only heard it secondhand, so its veracity is unknown."

"Although the Succubus race has declined, as far as I know, the Grand Elder should be a Saint-level Succubus, and the Clan Chief should be at least an Eighth-level Succubus. I've met the Young Clan Chief once, and his appearance is... indescribable. But Charlotte went to their lair, killed them all, and even managed to steal the Holy Maiden and escape unscathed. Isn't that a bit too outrageous?" Jenny quickly calmed down and frowned.

"I also heard that Charlotte brought three hundred powerful sea creatures to maintain order, forcing the succubus high priest to back down on the spot, saying that she would no longer pursue his responsibility or seek revenge," the guard continued.

"Three hundred powerful sea creatures? They even managed to force the succubus high priest to back down. Charlotte's abilities are truly growing." Jenny pondered. This kind of news was being spread with great detail, so it was probably true.

If Charlotte really went to the Succubus Clan to snatch the Holy Maiden, and even killed the Succubus Clan's Grand Elder and Chieftain despite being of a higher rank, such news would be impossible to keep hidden, and she would soon be able to verify its authenticity.

"But why would he try to kidnap the succubus saintess?" Jenny asked, puzzled.

"It is said that Charlotte and that succubus had already secretly pledged their lives to each other. The saintess was forced into marriage, and in a fit of rage for her sake, he stormed into the succubus's lair," the guard hurriedly said.

"What audacity of Charlotte! She's really gone too far!" Jenny's eyebrows shot up, and she immediately stood up and walked towards the door. "Prepare the carriage; we're going to the city lord's mansion!"

……

City Lord's Mansion.

"Is this source reliable? Did Charlotte really kill Matthew and Bevis?" Anderson, who had just received the news, was also shocked.

"Yes, Lord City Lord, I have had it verified. According to several guests who were present yesterday, this is absolutely true. Charlotte single-handedly stormed into the Succubus Temple, killed the Succubus Chieftain Bivis, the Grand Elder Matthew, and the Young Chieftain Jason, and escaped unscathed with the Succubus Saintess Ruth despite the threat of three hundred sea creatures," the guard said respectfully.

"How is this possible? He just broke through to Sky Knight, how could he kill a Saint-level succubus?" Anderson still looked incredulous.

"It's said that he initially seemed to be targeting Bivis, but no one expected his target to be Matthew. Even Matthew wasn't on guard against him, so he was deceived by his strange movements and then stabbed in the chest from behind, seriously injuring him. Moreover, Charlotte had an accomplice, a little girl of about three years old. She let out a scream, causing Matthew to lose his focus for a moment, which is why Charlotte was able to successfully launch a sneak attack." The guard quickly informed Anderson of the information he had gathered.

"Even if it was a sneak attack, it's still quite astonishing to be able to severely injure a Saint-level succubus." Anderson said thoughtfully.

If it was a sneak attack, then it wouldn't be so hard to accept. After all, succubi are only good at charm, not close combat. He had met Matthew once; he was a Saint-level earth mage, who should be considered very good at defense among mages. The fact that Charlotte killed him shows that she had indeed underestimated him.

Charlotte, on the other hand, possessed courage and strength that far exceeded his expectations.

He managed to run to the succubus clan's lair, kill the Grand Elder and the clan leader, and escape unscathed; it was probably all part of his plan.

But what's the story between him and that succubus saintess?

He risked everything to kill a succubus and steal her away; surely this can't be explained simply by friendship?

This added a bit of worry to his old father's heart. Before, there was only Diana, and now there's a succubus saintess. Isn't he just being reckless?

Anderson was well aware of Elizabeth's feelings for him.

During this time, he had already begun to accept Charlotte somewhat, after all, Charlotte's talent in medicine and potion making him quite remarkable, and his talent in cultivation was even more impressive. Although he was still a bit inferior to Elizabeth, he was still worthy of her.

But now that he's staged this grand spectacle of a succubus kidnapping a bride, the news has probably spread throughout the continent of Aesop by now. What is he supposed to think? What is Elizabeth supposed to think?

"Go and investigate that succubus saintess. I need to see her information today," Anderson said.

"Yes," the guard replied and quickly left.

Anderson walked to the window, his brow furrowed, and muttered to himself, "Charlotte, is this related to Capas's disappearance? If he could kill Matthew and Bivis, he could certainly kill Bill and Capas too."

"How foolish! If we had kept a low profile for a while longer, no one would have suspected him. But now that he's committed such a high-profile murder, it's hard not to notice him."

……

In the backyard of the city lord's mansion, Elizabeth, dressed in a white outfit, had just finished practicing her sword and was sitting on a bench drinking water when Jenny barged in.

"Aren't you usually very busy? How come you have time to come see me so early in the morning?" Elizabeth asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Even if I'm busy, I can't just stand by and watch my sister get cheated on." Jenny walked over, picked up the teapot on the table, poured herself a glass of water, gulped it down in two mouthfuls, and then continued, "Do you know that Charlotte went to the succubus tribe yesterday to steal a bride? She killed the succubus tribe's Grand Elder, Chieftain, and Young Chieftain, and then took their Holy Maiden home."

Elizabeth paused for a moment, then said, "Charlotte isn't the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately; there must be a reason for it."

"The point now isn't whether he killed indiscriminately, but that he went to the succubus tribe and kidnapped their holy maiden who was about to get married. It's said that this succubus holy maiden and Charlotte had already secretly pledged their lives to each other, and after Charlotte heard that she was being forced into marriage, he went to her door all by himself." Jenny said with a look of disappointment.

"That's really not a good idea," Elizabeth frowned.

"Yes!" Jenny agreed.

"Why doesn't he come to me? It would be much better if I went with him," Elizabeth said.

Jenny: "..."

What kind of love-obsessed sisters are these?!

Your man went to steal your bride behind your back, and you actually blame him for not taking you with him for safety?

Even she, as his sister, was touched when she heard this.

"I mean, not only is he flirting with Diana, but he's also kidnapped a succubus girl from the succubus tribe. Don't you care at all?" Jenny asked helplessly.

"We are no longer engaged and now get along like friends. Since those two are people he met in the Abyss and have developed feelings for each other, what right or position do I have to interfere?" Elizabeth looked at her calmly.

Jenny's mouth gaped slightly, realizing how much sense what she said made. After thinking it over carefully, her eyes lit up: "Sister! You've finally let go of this ill-fated relationship!"

Elizabeth added, "If it's truly as you say, that Diana and the succubus saint both loved him, and they could accept each other, why can't I? Am I less magnanimous than they are?"

Jenny: "..."

Damn it! Even I, a woman, felt like crying after hearing this.

"What kind of spell did that scumbag Charlotte cast on you? How can you be so devoted to him? What's so great about him? Can't you find someone better if you leave him?" Jenny said indignantly. Elizabeth was such an outstanding person; how could that scumbag Charlotte be worthy of her?

"He's better than most people, kind, gentle, and has things he loves and sticks to." Elizabeth smiled. "Tell me, if I don't like him, am I supposed to like a wicked playboy like Capas?"

You call him a scumbag, but he was willing to fight his way into the succubus's lair alone, risking his life to take her away and prevent her from being forced to marry a man she didn't love. Would you call him a good man or a bad man?

Jenny fell silent.

In fact, as she worked with Charlotte more and more during this period, her feelings towards him changed quite a bit.

He was indeed a responsible and dedicated partner, and very talented, especially in the field of drug development. He single-handedly brought down the pharmacists' association in Calva, which led to their kidnapping of pharmacists.

Moreover, he was indeed not the kind of lecherous old man. Although he was always surrounded by a group of beautiful women, he genuinely treated them as teachers, teaching them medical skills and crafts, and did not cause much gossip.

This alone is something many men cannot do.

When men possess absolute power and status, many cannot control their lower bodies.

Comparing Charlotte to scum like Capas is indeed an insult to him.

Even among the younger generation in Calva, Daryl, who is hailed as one of the best among the younger generation, is a joke in front of him and has been beaten to tears more than once.

If we're talking about who could be a match for the then-rising star Elizabeth, after looking around, we can't avoid Charlotte.

Now, this is the awkward situation we're in.

And, to make matters worse, Elizabeth was quite fond of him.

"What do you think the strength of the succubus clan's Grand Elder and Clan Chief is?" Elizabeth asked curiously.

Jenny replied, "As far as I know, the succubus elder Matthew is a Saint-level succubus, and the clan leader Bivis is an Eighth-level succubus."

"He's already able to kill Saint-level experts?" Elizabeth asked, somewhat surprised, then thoughtful. "It seems he didn't go all out last time."

"He's definitely not as good as you. You now have the strength to fight a Saint-level expert head-on. He only succeeded by sneak attacking," Jenny said.

Elizabeth shook her head: "In a life-or-death battle, the result is the most important thing. As for the means, they are not important. He killed a Saint-level expert who was two levels above him, so that's enough. In the future, even Saint-level experts will not dare to provoke him easily."

Jenny nodded slightly; what she said made sense.

Even Saint-level beings will likely have to be wary of Charlotte in the future.

"In that case, I'll head back now," Jenny said, turning to walk towards the courtyard gate. At the gate, she couldn't help but turn back to look at Elizabeth: "Are you really going to marry him as a concubine?"

Elizabeth smiled and shook her head.

Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face. Sure enough, her sister was such a proud person; how could she suffer such injustice?

"He hasn't said he wants to marry me yet?" Elizabeth shook her head, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Do you think he might not want to marry me?"

Jenny: "Goodbye!"

She walked away without looking back!

……

As Charlotte was preparing to leave work after closing in the morning, Zoe approached him and said, "Director, there's a doctor outside who claims to be from Dr. Tru's Medical Clinic and wants to see you."

"A doctor from Dr. Tru's Clinic?" Charlotte asked, somewhat surprised. After a moment's thought, she nodded and said, "Have him come to my office."

"Okay." Zoe nodded and left.

"Hatty, lunch is in your hands. I have something to do and will be back later." Charlotte said to Hattie and turned to walk towards her office.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline entered the office, led by Zoe. He stood somewhat awkwardly in front of Charlotte's desk, bowed slightly, and said, "Dr. Charlotte, hello, I am Richard, the chief physician of the Dr. Truth Medical Center."

Charlotte sized him up; this chief physician was indeed a high-level healing mage.

"Hello Dr. Richard, please have a seat," Charlotte said with a smile.

Richard sat down in the chair opposite him.

"Zoe, you can go home now. I'll close the door in a bit," Charlotte said to Zoe with a smile.

"Yes, Dean." Zoe smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

"Speak, Dr. Richard, what do you want with me?" Charlotte asked Richard directly.

"I..." Richard hesitated for a moment, then looked at Charlotte and said, "I'd like to apply for a job here."

"Oh?" Charlotte looked somewhat surprised. Since the Abyss Medical Clinic opened, it had been despised by its peers. This was the first healing mage to come and apply for a job.

Vivian doesn't count; she was forced to get on the bus because of financial difficulties.

"As you know, our Abyss Medical Clinic is renowned for its surgical treatments. Why would you want to apply for a job here?" Charlotte asked, looking at him with some curiosity.

"The Duru Clinic is on the verge of closing down, but the internal power struggle within the Duru family is incessant. We doctors can't see patients and therefore have no income. I still need to support my family in Kalva, so I wanted to apply for a job here." Richard looked at him sincerely and said, "Although your Abyss Clinic is renowned for its surgical treatments, with exquisite techniques and superb medical skills, I don't think that should prevent you from establishing a separate traditional treatment department. That way, if a patient doesn't want surgery but instead wants to use treatments to speed up wound healing, the Abyss Clinic can provide corresponding treatment plans. This can serve as a supplementary solution, making up for the current shortcomings of the Abyss Clinic and retaining patients who would otherwise go to other clinics."
