DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 611-620
Chapter 611
Harpy glanced at Andrius.
Andrius hummed softly, but his expression was unreadable.
Harpy continued, “Also, Madam Montecarlo asked her grandson, Lester Conery, to ask the Wicked Doctor, Hugo Stark, to be your wife’s teacher.”
The Wicked Doctor, Hugo Stark….
Andrius had never heard of that name before. However, with that title, it was clear Hugo was not an
upstanding man.
Thus, he asked, “Does the Hawkeye Group have information on Hugo?”
“Yes!” Harpy immediately recited Hugo’s information. They knew every detail down to how many times he got up in the middle of the night to urinate..
Harpy added, “Also, Hugo told Lester to bring your wife to him tomorrow.”
“Got it.”
Andrius‘ eyes narrowed slightly after hearing Harpy’s report.
Hugo was not a benevolent person at all.
The next day, early in the morning, Lester brought Luna to the private room where they had arranged to meet Hugo.
“Luna, this is the person I told you about–the Wicked Doctor, Hugo Stark!” Lester made a simple introduction. “Dr. Stark, this is my cousin, Luna Crestfall. She wants to learn some medical skills from you. I hope you will be willing to teach her.”
“Hello, Ms. Crestfall!” Hugo’s eyes lit up upon seeing Luna, and he immediately extended his right hand toward her.
Luna felt a little uneasy under his gaze, but in order to learn medical skills and achieve good results in the Grand Medicinal Competition, she extended her hand and shook his. “Hello, Dr. Stark.”
Not bad. Her hand was fair, tender, and smooth.
Hugo enjoyed the sensation under his hand and seemed to space out.
Luna blushed and forcibly pulled back her hand.
Hugo coughed softly and said with a straight face, “Oh, Ms. Crestfall, I was just sensing the state of your body through your palm. I didn’t mean to offend you. Please don’t misunderstand.”
The Wicked Doctor was indeed the Wicked Doctor. He used words to con his way through.
“Huh?” Luna felt strange and quickly asked, “What did you find out from my body. Dr Stark?”
Hugo mulled over it and said, “Ms. Crestfall, you occasionally experience sweating, dizziness, and tinnitus, am I right?”
Luna was astonished. Her symptoms were exactly as he described
She felt ashamed and quickly said, “You truly are extraordinary, Dr Stark!”
“Hahaha…” Hugo laughed mysteriously, playing the part of a famous doctor
Lester seized the opportunity to say, “Luna, Dr. Stark’s medical skills are second to none in the capital. There’s no need to doubt him. Dr. Stark, will you accept Luna as your disciple?”
Luna’s expression was hopeful.
Hugo’s diagnosis earlier won her over.
“Well…” Hugo looked at Luna. His expression seemed serious, but he was actually leering at her. “Ms. Crestfall, I always teach my disciples through words and deeds, treating them all equally. I won’t lower my expectations just because you’re a girl. Are you sure about this?”
Luna knew that Hugo’s title was the ‘Wicked Doctor‘, so he would naturally be eccentric. She was prepared for it. Thus, she replied firmly, “Yes, Dr. Stark!”
“Good, you’re truly sincere, Ms. Crestfall!” Hugo’s eyes focused on Luna’s chest. “In that case, you as my disciple!”
I’ll accept
Chapter 612
Chapter 612
He agreed!
Luna was immediately overwhelmed by excitement.
Lester nudged Luna, hinting that she should offer Hugo tea as a sign of respect.
Luna snapped back to her senses and quickly poured a cup of tea. “I look forward to learning from you,
Master!”
Luna was so sincere that she did not notice the cleavage she revealed when she bowed
Hugo accepted the cup in satisfaction with a smile on his face. “Mm. An excellent student!”
As he said that, he secretly shot Lester a look.
Lester left the scene.
Now, only Hugo and Luna remained.
Hugo sized her up and secretly swallowed his saliva, saying, “Luna, the medical field in Florence is as vast as the ocean. Where do you want to start?”
“Acupuncture,” Luna answered without hesitation.
That was the main topic of the medical book that the Wolf King gave to her. Furthermore, she had also learned from Thedus for a while, so she knew the basics.
“Acupuncture is good!”
A wicked light flashed in Hugo’s eyes as he thought of an idea.
“Since you want to learn acupuncture, let me explain the distribution of acupoints in the body and how to locate them. Listen carefully, watch closely, and remember it well.”
Then, Hugo took the opportunity to occasionally tap Luna’s body while demonstrating the acupoints, claiming that it was part of teaching through direct experience.
Although he did not go too far, Luna still blushed.
“Let me tell you about the Shanzhong point!” Hugo grinned.
The Shanzhong point was right in the middle of the chest.
Luna was startled. She blushed and stammered, “Master, I know where that point is. We can skip it and
move on to the next one…”
Hugo’s expression grew into a teasing one when he saw her reaction. He said, “Well, I’ve told you about a lot so far. You can go have a drink and take a break, and we’ll continue later.”
“Okay!”
Luna could use the chance to regain her calm and think of what to do next. Thus, she picked up the teacup on the side and drank it.
Hugo’s smile widened.
After resting for a while, Luna still did not feel comfortable being touched by Hugo, so she suggested.” Master, I already know where the acupoints are. Can we learn something else?”
“Sure.” Hugo took Luna’s hand and gently caressed it “Then… I’ll explain to you the physical differences
Chapter 12
between men and women.”
Luna instantly paled, but before she could react, she collapsed on the table.
“What a beautiful body!”
Hugo could not resist anymore. Transparent drool dripped from the corner of his mouth. He stripped Luna’s clothes happily, then reached out toward her chest.
Swoosh!
Just as his hand was only an inch away from its target, a hand suddenly reached out from an angle and grasped his wrist. It was like an iron vice.
Hugo could not move or break free no matter how hard he struggled.
He was enraged.
When he turned his head to look, he saw a man with an icy expression. It was Andrius!
Chapter 613
“You…”
Crack!
Hugo glared at Andrius and was just about to say something, but before he could, he felt an intense pain
in his arm.
Andrius snapped it violently. Then, he unleashed a fierce attack on Hugo, as if he were a swift blade.
“Ahh… Argh…”
Hugo’s cries of pain echoed throughout the room.
Whenever Andrius moved an inch, Hugo would let out a scream. It was almost like a rhythm.
After venting his anger, Andrius threw Hugo to the ground and checked on Luna’s condition.
“G–Goddammit!” Hugo struggled to get up from the ground, his face bruised and full of resentment. Guards! Kill this damned b*stard!”
Rumble…
With his words, over a dozen men rushed into the room. The burly and muscular men cracked their knuckles, making a series of popping sounds.
However, before they could approach Andrius, he easily defeated them with a single punch each. They lay on the ground, groaning.
Hugo did not expect Andrius to be so good at fighting.
However, as the renowned Wicked Doctor of the capital, he could not bear this humiliation. He pointed at Andrius and threatened, “If you have the guts, then kill me! Otherwise… Ahhh-”
Andrius always disliked scum like Hugo.
He rushed forward and grabbed Hugo’s finger, and bent it at a 90–degree angle, instantly causing blood to gush out.
Hugo screamed in pain. Cold sweat beaded his head, and his veins bulged. His agonizing cries rang out as he quivered. It was a shame he did not join a singing competition.
Then, Andrius tossed him away and said with a vague smile, “Well, it’s the first time I’ve heard such a
request.”
Swoosh.
Just as he spoke, a flash of silver light swiftly pierced Hugo’s body.
Hugo felt his body cool, and his expression instantly changed. “W–what did you do to me? Agaga Gaga
His head suddenly jerked, and his mouth twisted, drool flowing from the corner of his mouth. His expression also turned idiotic.
It was clear that Andrius made him a fool.
Then, Andrius called Dax.
“Wolf King! Don’t tell me someone caused you trouble again.”
Dax was already used to this. He had just pulled Andrius out of the police station yesterday.
Now, Andrius was calling him the next day…
Come on!
He was the Southern Warzone Master. He was a man who stood above other men! It was not his job to clean up other people’s messes!
Andrius got straight to the point and said, “Send someone to close Hugo Stark’s clinic.”
“Hugo Stark? The Wicked Doctor?” Dax remembered the title and instinctively asked, “What did he do?”
Andrius said coldly, “He made a move on Luna.”
Dax hissed at those words.
Wow.
Who was Luna?
She was the Wolf King’s wife!
Hugo did not know what was good for him and actually tried to make a move on her, making the Wolf King a cuckold…
He should change his title from the Wicked Doctor to the Dead Doctor!
Dax hung up with cold sweat and immediately made another call, ordering his men to go over.
Meanwhile, Andrius checked Luna’s condition. Fortunately, she was just drugged with a strong sedative, so her condition was not that serious.
Andrius removed her outer garments and began to administer acupuncture treatment. “Mmh..
Chapter 614
Luna let out a moan, whether it was due to the cooling effect of the silver needle or the strong sedative kicking in.
Her charming body and alluring voice were irresistible.
Even Andrius, who had undergone professional training, could not help but tremble when he touched her tender skin. He hissed and forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, muttering for himself to stay cool to prevent himself from making a mistake.
Even an old and experienced veteran could not resist such a temptation!
“W–Wolf King…”
When Andrius gradually regained his composure, Luna suddenly opened her eyes and murmured while looking at him. She had seen the Wolf King up close at Celestial Enterprise.
Although he had worn a mask, she remembered his bright eyes clearly.
When she saw Andrius‘ eyes in her dazed state, she mistook him for the Wolf King and could not help but throw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Goddamnit!
Andrius felt the weight of two mounds pressing against him, as well as her strong scent that assaulted him. He almost gave into his primal instincts as the Wolf King.
No! He could not continue like this!
Seeing how aggressive Luna was, Andrius immediately pushed her away and swiftly pricked a silver needle into her body to make her fall asleep again.
Even so, he still could not dodge her fierce kiss.
Whoosh…
After administering the acupuncture, Andrius suppressed his urge to surrender and knocked her out.
“You really are a fierce woman. You almost made me lose my glory! You’re probably the only one in Florence who can make the Wolf King so wretched.”
Andrius looked at Luna with lingering fear and hurriedly dressed her, then washed his face with cold
water.
Soon, Dax’s men arrived outside. The group was led by Drogo, whom Andrius had met briefly at the Grand Aurelia Hotel.
“Wolf King!”
Drogo still remembered the scene where Andrius had defeated Dax in just three moves. Thus, even though he did not work for Andrius, he still showed great respect and saluted Andrius.
“Mm.”
Andrius nodded in response and ordered, “Take her back to Kavo Estate and inform Madam Montecarlo about the situation here. Remember, don’t reveal my identity
“Yes!”
At Kavo Estate, when Jane saw Lester return so quickly without Luna, she had a suspicion in her heart. She pulled Lester aside and asked, “Lester, how did things go with Luna’s apprenticeship?”
Lester felt a little guilty and stammered, “I–it’s done. D–Dr. Stark accepted Luna as his disciple…
Jane was overjoyed and praised, “Great! You did well. I’ll increase your allowance next month!”
“Thank you, Grandma!” Lester did not expect such good news.
“Haha, you can do whatever you want Now, Luna should be able to learn some excellent medical skills”
Jane waved at him and began to fantasize. She imagined Luna’s medical skills greatly improving, and achieving excellent results in the Grand Medicinal Competition. Then, she would marry into a top–class prestigious family.
The Conerys would rise to power….
What a satisfying and delightful thought!
Lester could not help but sneer in his heart when he heard Jane mutter to herself.
Luna had fallen into Hugo’s hands. She would not be learning medicine. At most, she would learn how to
use her hands…
She was wasted on that lecherous man.
Screech…
Just as Jane was fantasizing, a car suddenly drove into the estate.
She looked up and saw two soldiers supporting an unconscious Luna. Drogo also got out of the car.
Chapter 615
“What…”
Jane was dumbfounded.
She hurriedly went forward and asked, “What happened? Wasn’t Luna supposed to learn medicine from Hugo Stark?”
Drogo glanced at Jane and said, “You must be Madam Jane Montecarlo of the Conerys, right?”
“Yes, I am!” Jane nodded.
Drogo continued. “The Wicked Doctor, Hugo Stark, often deceives young women under the guise of teaching them medicine, and has done unspeakable things to them We’ve been investigating him and
finally caught him in the act today.
“Fortunately, we arrived just in time, so Ms. Crestfall was not harmed. We currently have him under control and we have closed his clinic, so we are bringing Ms. Crestfall back to you.
“However, I can’t guarantee that we’ll always be this timely. Please tell Ms. Crestfall to be more wary and
not believe the words of deceitful people.”
The words of deceitful people…
Jane was stunned.
Why did she feel like he was talking about Lester?
With that thought, she immediately responded, “I understand, sir.”
Drogo nodded and left with his men.
“Les Ter Crest Fall!”
After Drogo and the others left, Jane’s shrill voice reverberated throughout Kavo Estate. “Get over here
It turned out that Hugo was a lecher, and Lester was the one who had taken Luna there…
Jane had to find out the truth.
Before long, Lester came out. He realized that there was something off about Jane’s expression and asked nervously, “What do you need me for, Grandma?”
“What do I need you for?” Jane snorted coldly and questioned, “Hugo Stark is clearly a dirty old man, but you took Luna to him. Explain to me what happened!”
“Huh?” Lester trembled and avoided eye contact, stammering, “Grandma, w what do you mean? W–what did Dr Stark do…”
Jane was a distinguished person. She was the 70–year–old leader of the Conerys, after all! She could teil at a glance that there was something off about Lester, and her expression turned even colder “What did you do, Lester?”
“1. I didn’t do anything!” Lester completely panicked and did not dare to look at Jane
Jane became even more convinced that something was going on between Lester and Hugo
By that point, Luna had been brought back to her room
Upon hearing that Drogo came. Bernard and Alec rushed over However, they were too late and did not hear Drogo’s words. Thus, they still did not know what was going on
“Alec!”
Jane pointed at Lester, her face like ice. “Go and find out what’s going on between this kid and Hugo Stark!”
Dr. Stark and Lester?
Alec was completely clueless.
However, he was good at reading the room and sensed that this was no small matter. He replied, “Okay, I’ll go check.”
Then, he left.
Jane glared at Lester, who did not even dare to breathe loudly. He occasionally raised his head to sneakily glance at Jane.
“What did you do, you little brat?”
Dwight also rushed over and kicked Lester when he saw that things were awkward.
Lester did not dare to speak. He only hoped that his uncle would not find anything out. If his father and grandmother knew that he lost a billion in gambling and sold Luna to Hugo….
His legs would be broken!
Just then, Alec came back, gasping for breath. “Mom…”
Lester’s heart instantly sank, and he almost collapsed on the spot.
“Lester … Lester…” Alec pointed at Lester, his expression full of disbelief and disgust, saying, “He went gambling at Paradise and owes Hugo a billion!
“Hugo said that his debt would be clear as long as he brought Luna to satisfy Hugo ten times.”
Many people were present at the gambling den when this incident occurred, making it easy to investigate
Everyone was stunned by Alec’s words. They all looked at Lester in shock.
Lester felt his strength leave his body, and he collapsed on the ground, muttering, “No, I–I didn’t! I was tricked by them…”
“You beast!” Dwight was also shocked and angry. He kicked Lester, causing the latter to fall to the ground, and yelled, “Luna is your cousin! How could you.
..”
Chapter 616
Lester shrunk and did not dare to speak.
“Lester! Crestfall!”
Jane was both shocked and furious. Flames seemed to sprout from her eyes.
Luna was not just a granddaughter in her eyes. She was the Wolf Queen and the opportunity for the Conerys to rise. However, Lester almost ruined everything.
“How could you do such a heinous thing? Guards, lock him up in the memorial hall and make him reflect for a year. He’s not allowed to step out of the hall without my orders!”
Being confined to the memorial hall was basically equivalent to being expelled from the core of the Conerys.
“Mom…”
Dwight intentionally kicked Lester in front of everyone so that Jane would make the punishment lighter When he heard her, his expression immediately changed, and he was just about to step forward to plead
for Lester.
“Don’t call me Mom!” Jane interrupted him coldly just as he opened his mouth. “Look at the son you raised. What a disgrace to the Conerys!”
Immediately, she shot a look at the servants nearby.
The servants immediately dragged Lester, who looked lifeless, toward the memorial hall.
“I’m so furious!” Jane watched Lester being taken away and could not help but pant heavily while cursing. She returned to her room and said, “Stella, remember to call me when Luna wakes up.”
Not long after, Luna slowly woke up.
Stella immediately informed Jane who rushed over with the other family members.
Jane said, somewhat ashamed, “Luna, it was my oversight and lack of judgment that led to this incident.
Please don’t take it to heart.
“As for Lester, I’ve already punished him to reflect upon his mistakes in the memorial hall.”
Now that Luna was someone valuable, Jane could not let her have a bad impression of the Conerys.
“It’s okay.” Luna did not suffer substantial harm, so she did not want to make a big deal out of it. The past is the past, Grandma. You don’t need to introduce me to any doctors anymore. I’ll study medicine from books myself.”
Jane understood that Luna was in a bad mood now, so she comforted the latter a few times before leaving the room with the others.
Luna held the medical book the Wolf King gave to her and could not help but remember the scene from before when she had been in a state of confusion.
It seemed like the Wolf King saved her, undressed her, administered acupuncture, and then dressed her
again…
However, she knew that the Wolf King was already dead.
The person who saved her could not have been the Wolf King. At most, it was a former subordinate following his orders.
As Luna thought about it, she suddenly thought of Andrius. This time, she risked everything to improve her medical skills and reduce his sentence…
“Andrius Moonshade, from now on, I don’t owe you anything.”
Luna leaned against the window and gazed at the distant scenery. The flowers and leaves swayed with the wind, and her emotions rose and fell with the breeze.
For the next few days, Luna immersed herself in studying medical books. She only appeared during mealtimes and would only come downstairs when Stella called her.
As for Andrius, he stayed in the base Dax arranged for him, preparing for the Grand Medicinal Competition and having Harpy analyze information about the strangers who came to the capital during this period.
Soon, the Grand Medicinal Competition arrived as scheduled.
The first round of the popularity poll began.
According to the rules, the popularity poll was only open for three days, and the top hundred contestants would advance to the second round.
Each netizen could use their ID as an account to log into the Grand Medicinal Competition’s official website for either named or anonymous voting.
Each person had three votes. Besides voting for their favorite doctor, they could sell their remaining two
votes to others.
This led to people trying to pull votes.
However, as soon as the popularity poll was released, the Wolf King shot far ahead of all the other doctors, maintaining a significant lead at the top. No one was able to shake his position.
“Tsk, tsk tsk…” Dax could not help but click his tongue at this situation and sighed, “As expected, Wolf King! Even after death, you still have such high popularity and support…”
Dax patted Andrius‘ shoulder and teased, “You’re the first one of your kind since the establishment of
Florence!”
Andrius said wryly, “I’m also the first to have been declared dead despite being alive.”
Dax’s expression froze and he fell speechless. Then, he changed the topic. “Let’s see who’s second place.”
Andrius looked over and was stunned.
In second place was actually Luna!
Chapter 617
Andrius was not looking down on Luna.
He just wondered what kind of merits and abilities she possessed to surpass countless famous doctors and rank second on the popularity chart for the Grand Medicinal Competition.
That was absurd.
Were the people voting based on attractiveness?
Was this a contest of looks?
Did the netizens vote for Luna because she had a pretty face?
Andrius could not think of any other reason. He looked at Dax and asked, “Is the popularity poll for the Grand Medicinal Competition ranked based on looks?”
“Looks?” Dax looked at the ranking list and shook his head while saying honestly, “From what | understand, her votes were solicited.”
Vote solicitation…
Andrius was at a loss and asked awkwardly, “What’s the difference between that and cheating?”
“It’s not considered cheating. According to the rules of the popularity poll, solicitation of votes is allowed. After all, every person has three votes. However…”
He looked at Andrius and said meaningfully, “If a contestant has an overwhelming number of votes but lacks the strength to back it up, they’ll surely be targeted.”
Even though phrased it euphemistically, Andrius still understood his meaning.
The Internet would undoubtedly criticize and condemn the vote solicitation that Luna was doing.
Thus, Andrius turned on his phone.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, just who is Luna Crestfall? How can she rank second? Is she manipulating the votes?”
“I’ve lived for a long time, but it’s my first time seeing someone as shameless as her.”
“What medical skills does Luna have? How can she surpass so many famous doctors? It’s ridiculous!”
“With her level, she might be eliminated in the second round. That would be a huge joke.”
The opinions in the comments section were quite clear
Most netizens were cursing Luna. Only a few netizens who liked Luna for her beauty cheered for her
“I think it’s reasonable for Luna to be in second place.”
“Luna is so pretty. It’s natural that she would be in second place.”
“Luna…”
Andrius could not bear to look.
Although Luna had always been smart, she made a terrible mistake this time!
In Kavo Estate, Luna panicked when she saw herself ranked second on the popularity chart.
“Grandma!” She went straight to Jane and asked with a stern face, “How am I second in the Grand
Chapter 617
Medicinal Competition popularity poll?”
2/2
A voice to the side said righteously, “It was me, Luna. I spent some money to buy a lot of votes online and ensured they all voted for you, guaranteeing your entry into the second round.”
The one who had spoken was Alec.
Luna’s face flushed deeper. “Uncle, there are many famous doctors participating in the competition. Don’t you think you’re putting me on the spot by pushing me to second place?”
She was exasperated. This was not helping her. It was smearing her name!
“What’s the big deal?” Alec shrugged nonchalantly. “As long as you don’t feel embarrassed, you’ll be fine! Besides, the official rules allow this kind of play. You haven’t violated any rules or laws. What are you
worried about?”
He was not the one being criticized, so he naturally did not think that it was a big deal.
Luna was speechless.
Chapter 618
“Uncle, you should’ve at least discussed it with me before doing this. Now, so many people online are cursing me…”
One definitely needed a strong heart to bear the insults of hundreds of thousands, and even millions of people.
Alec thought he was helping Luna with good intentions and spent quite a bit of money to buy all those votes for her, but when she did not appreciate it, he immediately got angry.
“Cursing you? Luna, I’m not trying to nag you, but life is like a battlefield, and so is the Grand Medicinal Competition. To win, you must use any means necessary. I went through so much trouble to help you and secured your place in the second round. What’s wrong with getting cursed a little?”
Luna was speechless.
Getting cursed a little?
She was cursed inside and out!
It was far from little at all!
Only she was able to withstand such immense pressure. If it were someone else, they might have jumped off a building from all the criticism.
“Look, Uncle!” Luna’s face was ashen as she opened the comments section and handed the phone to Alec. “You call this a little cursing? My reputation is ruined!”
Alec glanced at it and saw the endless expletives. He instantly paled when he saw that the Conerys were also dragged into the drama.
The rest of the Conerys also opened their phones. When they saw the comments, they all fell silent.
Although buying votes was not against the rules, it aroused public anger, and Luna became the target of
millions of netizens.
Jane held Luna’s hand and said in a heavy voice, “Luna, since the incident has already happened, talking about it won’t change anything.
“In my opinion, since you’ve secured your place in the second round, it’s better to prepare well for the next round.”
Jane was at ease because she was not the one being cursed.
“As long as you can overcome each challenge, persist until the final round, and get a good ranking, you’ll naturally be able to prove those netizens wrong and shut their mouths.”
Luna naturally understood that. She had no choice but to drop the matter.
For the next two days, she continued to stay in her room and focused all her attention on studying the book the Wolf King gave her. She did not go out or confront those who insulted her online.
The day before the Grand Medicinal Competition, all the participating doctors gathered in the capital regardless of their ranking. Some who did not sign up also appeared.
It was like a conference. Any medical enthusiast could not help but be passionate about it.
That night, a special plane landed amidst the strict airport security measures.
Numerous frozen bodies from the Kleins were carefully transported out. They were brought to a
Chap 618
designated location under the protection of powerful forces that stood guard in all directions.
At a hidden base, Andrius stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance through the large floor–to–ceiling windows.
2/2
“Wolf King, the Kleins‘ bodies have reached their destination. What should we do now?” Captain Harpy reported respectfully behind Andrius.
“A mask will do,” Andrius muttered.
“Yes, sir!”
When Harpy left, Andrius‘ gaze became distant. His profound eyes glimmered like ancient stars. “Florence has been quiet for too long. It’s time for a change!”

Chapter 619
The next day, amidst the attention of the masses and their excitement, the Grand Medicinal Competition finally began.
The grand hall was a building that cost billions and took Florence’s finest seven years to construct. It was large enough to accommodate over a hundred thousand people. Its overall structure resembled a palace, blending numerous elements of ancient Florence with modern facilities, ensuring an unparalleled experience.
This was the venue for the Grand Medicinal Competition.
Hanging in the middle of the hall was a large banner with the words ‘Fifth Grand Medicinal Competition‘ written in golden font. The words were still clearly visible under the bright sunlight even from tens of thousands of meters above.
A couplet was already hung on the magnificent gate.
The first half read, ‘To help the world with medicine, to embrace benevolence, and to consolidate our foundation.”
The second half read, ‘To save the dying and heal the wounded with miraculous skills, and to use medicine with sincerity.”
This was the purpose of the Grand Medicinal Competition!
Inside the hall were numerous statues. At the front was Hippocrates, who was undoubtedly the father of medicine. Behind that were numerous statues of figures who inherited Hippocrates‘ spirit and became famous physicians in the world of medicine. They had all written books and invented miraculous cures. They were all brilliant gems in the medical field.
In the grand hall, the central focus was the stage of the Grand Medicinal Competition, spanning an area of over a thousand square meters.
On the stage were cauldrons on red lacquered stands. The aroma of medicine filled the air with a clear fragrance. A crystal chandelier hung above, illuminating every corner with light.
Below the stage, nearly a hundred thousand seats formed a vast array like the Milky Way, enveloping the stage without leaving any vacant spaces.
At the front were the esteemed dignitaries.
There were also a group of judges, a jury, and prominent figures from the Florencian medical field.
Behind them were numerous medical celebrities, distinguished guests, affluent families and their children, and many others.
At that moment, all one hundred thousand seats were already occupied, and the hall was buzzing with voices. Some were discussing enthusiastically, some were laughing, and some were whispering.
It was a lively scene.
Swoosh…
Just then, countless lights lit up, and the entire grand hall was illuminated as bright as day in the blink of an eye.
A figure appeared on the central stage.
The person was dignified and stood with his head held high. He was the President of the Medical Society
in the capital, Angus Cline!
He cleared his throat, smiled, and began his speech.
“Esteemed leaders of the Medical Society Headquarters, seniors of the Florencian medical field, all participating doctors, and supporters and enthusiasts of the medical field…
“I, Angus Cline, welcome all of you on behalf of the Florence Medical Society!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted into applause. It was like the sound of thunder, reverberating and never–ending, echoing in everyone’s ears.
After a long time, the applause gradually subsided.
The hall fell into silence, and countless eyes were fixed on him.
Angus scanned the surroundings and continued, “Now, I would like to invite the committee head of the Medical Society, Claude Martin, to deliver a speech!”
Amidst the brilliant light, a slender figure gracefully walked onto the stage. It was none other than Claude
Martin.
Thunderous applause sounded again, lasting for a full minute.
“On this cool and pleasant autumn day, I am fortunate to be here with all the medical field enthusiasts in Florence to participate in this grand event. It is truly a great honor…”
After a long and uninformative speech, Claude finally said loudly, “I hereby announce the official start of the Grand Medicinal Competition!”
Then, he nodded downward and returned to his seat.
Angus continued, “Everyone, next up are the winners of the first ro
Chapter 620
“Coming in first in the popularity ranking–the Wolf King!
The Wolf King!
The entire venue fell silent as soon as those words were spoken.
The Wolf King–the backbone of Florence, the uncrowned king of the western border–risked his life, made great contributions, and made the western border of Florence impenetrable. With his own strength, he suppressed other extraordinary figures of his time.
He was unparalleled in both medicine and combat, and his skill with his acupuncture technique was unfathomable, inherited from ‘Hades‘, Old Hagstorm….
He had already left them forever.
However, his myth and legendary story was eternal like the sun in the sky and the dazzling stars!
The silence of everyone present was the best tribute to the Wolf King.
Swoosh.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the stage, sitting at the spot that belonged to the Wolf King. The person had a medium build, an unremarkable figure, and a delicate wolf mask on his face.
It was Andrius!
What was going on?
The audience looked at each other and started discussing. “Isn’t the Wolf King… dead?”
“The emperor even constructed a memorial for him so we can remember him.”
“There’s no doubt that the Wolf King is dead. That can’t be him!”
“Yes, that must be an imposter.”
“Damn it, how dare that little brat impersonate the Wolf King! Does he think my title is just for show? Here I come!”
“That idiot actually wants to cause trouble using the Wolf King’s name. No, I’m going to make him regret
this!”
The audience reached a unanimous conclusion: that person was not the Wolf King and was just seeking
attention!
The Wolf King was the unwavering belief of countless people. He was the greatest brilliance of Florence i
He could not be slandered or trampled upon!
Thus, after realizing this, the people began to clamor
“Get down immediately, you little brat!”
“The Wolf King’s name can’t be tarnished. You’re making an enemy out of all of us!”
“You wretch, get down from the Wolf King’s seat, or I’ll make you regret it!”
“Kid, the Wolf King’s seat isn’t something anyone can sit in. Hurry up and get down!”
“Get down, get down!”
The crowd shouted and cursed loudly.
Andrius naturally ignored them, and so did Angus.
He looked at the list and continued, “Next, the second–ranked individual in the popularity poll, from New Moon Corporation–Luna Crestfall!”
“Hiss…”
“Tsk…”
At Angus‘ words, the audience immediately erupted into boos. Then, their disdainful, contemptuous, and mocking gazes fell on Luna, who had just stood up.
Luna’s face was so red it seemed she was about to bleed.
However, in order not to let down her efforts and the Wolf King, she took a deep breath and slowly walked toward the stage.
“She actually still has the guts to go up?”
“Tsk, if it were me, I’d have dug a hole in the ground out of embarrassment!”
“Hehe, if she can endure all this, she must be capable of great things.”
“I have to say, she looks better than in her photos!”
“Oh, please, think before you speak.”
With a red face, Luna came to the stage and took the spot that belonged to her.
However, when she reached her seat, she glanced at the ‘Wolf King‘ beside her. That figure seemed familiar.
