Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Clarence pushed the woman away. “What are you doing?”
The woman explained, “Help treat my friend. His situation is similar to mine as his ridians 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,” Clarence replied faintly.
The woman frowned. “Do you think I’m joking?”
Clarence looked at her with a grin. “A few days ago, there was a woman similar to you, though she’s much worse than you. Her father is the millionaire of Maple Country. I think he has so kind of incurable disease. She gave a check for 200 million and asked to treat her father. If I succeeded, she’d give another billion. Do you know why I didn’t go?”
The woman stared blankly at him at first. Then, she grew a little angry. “Do you think I’m playing with you? I’m telling the truth!”
“No, no, no.” Clarence shook his head. “I don’t think you’re playing with . I an to say, if I don’t want to treat soone, I won’t do it no matter how much you pay .”
The woman was furious. “You have to co with today! I don’t care if you want to or not!”
She charged forward. She was very nimble. She easily grabbed Clarence’s wrist.
Clarence had his bowl of porridge in one hand and his piece of toast in another. He moved his leg and backed away nonchalantly.
He managed to avoid the woman’s hand.
“Hmm? How is that possible? You dodged .” The woman looked at Clarence in surprise. She was extrely astonished.
Clarence took a bite of his toast and ate so 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 .”
After the woman said that, she charged forward again.
This ti, she did not hold back. She reached out both of her hands and grabbed Clarence. She did not believe she would miss him this ti with her abilities.
Unfortunately, to Clarence, she was too slow.
Clarence leaped up.
Whoosh!
He then steadily landed 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 , I’ll leave right away.” The woman smirked and turned into a phantom as she pounced at Clarence.
Clarence frowned and took a bite of his toast before flinging it away from himself.
Splat!
The toast landed on the woman’s chest. She felt the inside of her body go hot. Suddenly, she vomited so blood, and her previously rosy cheeks imdiately turned pale.
She felt very weak.
“What did you do to ?” The woman was furious.
Clarence ate so 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 bla 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 na 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 .”
“I’m not interested. Master Williams, please walk her out.” Clarence asked her to leave imdiately.
“You…”
Kate was livid. She had humbled herself, yet Clarence 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.
Clarence was so undiscriminating.
At that mont, Kate began to throw a tantrum.
She wanted to attack Clarence and abduct him, but when she rembered what Clarence had just said, she did not dare to act rashly anymore.
“Miss, please leave.” Master Williams ca over and gestured to the door.
“Hmph, fine!” Kate waved her sleeves in anger and walked out of Thirteen Hall.
After Kate left, Clarence 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 to do sothing?”
“Master Howard… It’s not her…” Master Williams told Clarence, feeling a little awkward.
Clarence turned his head, and his pupils contracted. Then, he went back to being calm. “Why are you here?”
Miranda was wearing cool and plain 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 I co to take a look at your clinic after we’ve divorced?” Miranda chuckled in self-mockery.
Clarence shook his head. “You’re more than welco to if you’re here to treat an illness.”
Miranda sighed helplessly. “Why are you cursing ? Can’t you wish for sothing auspicious for ?”
Clarence 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 you last night? Did you go to First Birch Hotel?”
She was here to ask about what had happened the previous night.
Clarence 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 from William.’
However, what if Clarence had not saved her? What would she reply with if Clarence asked why she had been in the sa hotel room as William?
“Like what?” Clarence looked at Miranda in confusion.
Miranda hesitated, and she frowned slightly. “You didn’t do anything special?”
She wanted to ask Clarence if he had saved her from William. After all, the person she had seen just before passing out had been Clarence.
However, she was not sure if it had just been a delusion or if it had really been him.
Clarence 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 . 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 et up with?”
Miranda was a little disappointed when she heard this answer.
At the sa ti, she was unwilling to give up. “Did you really not do anything special?”
Clarence put on a curious expression. “What do you really want to ask?”
“Oh, Clarence, is this your ex-wife? Why is she here?” At that mont, a voice ca from the entrance of Thirteen Hall. Cecilia was coming in with breakfast. She handed it to Clarence 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 glared at Clarence and questioned sternly, “Clarence Howard, I’ll ask you one last ti, did you…”
