rence pushed the woman away. “What are you doing?”
The woman exined, “Help treat my friend. His situation is simr to mine as his meridians were broken too. If you can treat him, I’ll give you 100 million.”
The woman thought no one would be able to resist the temptation of 100 million bucks.
“Oh,” rence replied faintly.
The woman frowned. “Do you think I’m joking?”
rence looked at her with a grin. “A few days ago, there was a woman simr to you, though she’s much worse than you. Her father is the millionaire of Maple Country. I think he has some kind of incurable disease. She gave me a check for 200 million and asked me to treat her father. If I seeded, she’d give me another billion. Do you know why I didn’t go?”
The woman stared nkly at him at first. Then, she grew a little angry. “Do you think I’m ying with you? I’m telling the truth!”
“No, no, no.” rence shook his head. “I don’t think you’re ying with me. I mean to say, if I don’t want to treat someone, I won’t do it no matter how much you pay me.”
The woman was furious. “You have toe with me today! I don’t care if you want to or not!”
She charged forward. She was very nimble. She easily grabbed rence’s wrist.
rence had his bowl of porridge in one hand and his piece of toast in another. He moved his leg and backed away nonchntly.
He managed to avoid the woman’s hand.
“Hmm? How is that possible? You dodged me.” The woman looked at rence in surprise. She was extremely astonished.
rence took a bite of his toast and ate some of his porridge. He said easily, “You should stop now. If you continue, I won’t go easy on you.”
“You arrogant…”
The woman shrieked and raised her eyebrows. “Do you think you’re all that? I want to see what you’re going to do to me.”
After the woman said that, she charged forward again.
This time, she did not hold back. She reached out both of her hands and grabbed rence. She did not believe she would miss him this time with her abilities.
Unfortunately, to rence, she was too slow.
rence leaped up.
Whoosh!
He then steadilynded 16 feet away. The porridge in his hand had not spilled even a single drop. “That’s enough. Don’t think I wouldn’t dare hit you just because you’re a woman.”
“Hehe, do it. If you can stop me, I’ll leave right away.” The woman smirked and turned into a phantom as she pounced at rence.
rence frowned and took a bite of his toast before flinging it away from himself.
St!
The toastnded on the woman’s chest. She felt the inside of her body go hot. Suddenly, she vomited some blood, and her previously rosy cheeks immediately turned pale.
She felt very weak.
“What did you do to me?” The woman was furious.
rence ate some porridge as he said slowly, “Nothing much. Your internal injuries have just recovered but not yet entirely. Do you dare to do anything else now? If you’re not afraid of death, please go ahead, but don’t me me for not reminding you. If your wounds break open, I won’t save you again.”
The woman was stunned. Her eyes twinkled before she stood up straight. She put her hands together and said, “I was too impatient, and I apologize for that. My name is Kate Reed, I’m from the Martial Arts Association. My friend is hurt, and I hope you can go and look at him for me.”
“I’m not interested. Master Williams, please walk her out.” rence asked her to leave immediately.
“You…”
Kate was livid. She had humbled herself, yet rence still would not give her any respect?
If she had been elsewhere and other people had wanted to show her respect to them, she might not even have entertained them.
rence was so undiscriminating.
At that moment, Kate began to throw a tantrum.
She wanted to attack rence and abduct him, but when she remembered what rence had just said, she did not dare to act rashly anymore.
“Miss, please leave.” Master Williams came over and gestured to the door.
“Hmph, fine!” Kate waved her sleeves in anger and walked out of Thirteen Hall.
After Kate left, rence went to get his bowl of porridge from the table and continued to eat. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. He said in annoyance, “I told you to leave. Why are you still here? Do you still want me to do something?”
“Master Howard… It’s not her…” Master Williams told rence, feeling a little awkward.
rence turned his head, and his pupils contracted. Then, he went back to being calm. “Why are you here?”
Miranda was wearing cool and in attire, and she had light makeup on her face. Her eyebrows looked delicate, and her mouth looked dainty. She had a beige-colored bag in her hand. Overall, she looked very refreshed.
“What’s wrong? Can’t Ie to take a look at your clinic after we’ve divorced?” Miranda chuckled in self-mockery.
rence shook his head. “You’re more than wee to if you’re here to treat an illness.”
Miranda sighed helplessly. “Why are you cursing me? Can’t you wish for something auspicious for me?”
rence smiled. “Of course I want you to be well. I hope you live to be a hundred years old and are impregnable to disease.”
“You…”
Miranda was a little mad, but as she was about to explode, she suppressed her anger. They were already divorced, anyway. “Where were youst night? Did you go to First Birch Hotel?”
She was here to ask about what had happened the previous night.
rence did not hide that fact from her. If Miranda wanted to find out whether he had gone to First Birch Hotel, she would be able to.
It would be bad if he hid the truth from her. “I did. What’s wrong with that?”
Miranda was a little pleased now. “So… Did you do anything special, like…”
Miranda had wanted to say, ‘Like saving me from William.’
However, what if rence had not saved her? What would she reply with if rence asked why she had been in the same hotel room as William?
“Like what?” rence looked at Miranda in confusion.
Miranda hesitated, and she frowned slightly. “You didn’t do anything special?”
She wanted to ask rence if he had saved her from William. After all, the person she had seen just before passing out had been rence.
However, she was not sure if it had just been a delusion or if it had really been him.
rence did not want Miranda to be involved in William’s death. Fuelled by that, he shook his head calmly. “Last night, I was drinking with the head of the FDA, River Cabello. During drinks, he introduced a few of his friends to me. As for the special event, I have no idea what you’re talking about.
“Why? We’re divorced, yet you’re still worried about who I meet up with?”
Miranda was a little disappointed when she heard this answer.
At the same time, she was unwilling to give up. “Did you really not do anything special?”
rence put on a curious expression. “What do you really want to ask?”
“Oh, rence, is this your ex-wife? Why is she here?” At that moment, a voice came from the entrance of Thirteen Hall. Cecilia wasing in with breakfast. She handed it to rence and said, “This is for you.”
“I just ate.”
Cecilia said in a simpering tone, “You can eat again, even if you’ve eaten already. I bought this with kind intentions.”
Miranda looked at them angrily. “Enough.”
Then, she red at rence and questioned sternly, “rence Howard, I’ll ask you onest time, did you…”
