Chapter 8
Matthew returned to Carlson Pharmacy, and the staff were still very respectful toward him despite the
fact that Joseph wasn’t there. In the ward, Natalie’s condition was well; Joseph had specially sent two
nurses to take care of her.
A little while after he took a seat, he heard the sound of flustered footsteps from outside the door.
Subsequently, Joseph’s driver, Louise, burst into the room. His face beamed when he saw Matthew
and said in a hurry, “Mr. Larson, y-you’re finally here!”
“What happened?” Matthew asked curiously.
“We’re running out of time. Could you pleasee with me? I’ll tell you what happened as we go,”
Louise implored anxiously. “Mr. Harrison is in trouble!”
Matthew shot up from his seat instantly; Joseph was kind to him and he couldn’t just sit still now that he
was in trouble.
“Let’s go!” Matthew followed Louise out of the door, who drove them toward the direction of the city
center.

On the way, Louise briefed him about what happened. Apparently, it all started with Stanley Carlson,
who had a big boss backing him up named Billy Newman, also known as the First King of Eastcliff. In
Eastcliff, even the heads of the top ten prominent families had to bow down their heads to him when
they saw Billy.
Billy’s only daughter encountered an ident a year ago and had beenatose after that. Despite
consulting with countless doctors, none of them could treat her condition. Stanley, who found the
effects of the mini Rejuvenating Pill from Joseph to be wondrous, immediately asked for another one
from him as a gift to Billy for his daughter’s use.
There was no doubt about the pill’s effects; after Billy gave it to his daughter, it worked miraculously on
her, though she still hadn’t woken up. So, Stanley called Joseph over to treat Billy’s daughter
personally.
Aware of his own limited abilities, Joseph rejected the invitation initially. Unfortunately, there was
another genius doctor at the scene at the same time, who incited Joseph to perform his miraculous
acts. Out of a moment’s annoyance, Joseph applied the needles. Instead of saving Billy’s daughter, her
situation worsened.
The other genius doctor took advantage of the opportunity and told Billy that Joseph was only a quack
who had stolen the pill from himself. Enraged, Billy wanted to kill Joseph, and that was when he blurted
out to him about Matthew. So, Billy gave him two hours to get Matthew to the scene. Otherwise, Billy
would kill him!
Louise then went back to Carlson Pharmacy and waited for half an hour before Matthew finally
returned. However, Louise had no time to rte all the details during the short time they were there.
“Mr. Larson, the other genius doctor is Benjamin Watkins from one of the top ten families, the Watkins.
In Eastcliff, his medical skills are considered the best!” In a low voice, Louise continued, “Mr. Harrison
said that this man is coveting the prescription in your hands, which was why he used Mr. Harrison of
stealing the pill from him. So when you see himter, you have to beware of this man!”
Motthew frowned, thinking obout whot o horrible mon this Benjomin Wotkins wos when he could still
long for the pill’s prescription in such o dire situotion. After Louise hod finished exploining oll these to
Motthew, he led him into Billy’s home.
Billy lived in o huge monor, estimoted to be more thon o hundred ocres, surrounded by precious plonts
with o lovishly decoroted interior like o poloce. In o room on the second floor, Motthew sow o group of
people, ond Joseph wos omong them. Next to him stood o middle-oged mon, Stonley, whose foce wos
pole.
On the other side, sot o burly middle-oged mon who hod on imposing monner. His hoir wos slightly
groy ond his brows shot in the directions of his temples, projecting o noturolly dignified ond powerful
ouro. Without the need of on introduction, Motthew knew thot this must be the First King of Eostcliff,
Billy Newmon!
“Mr. Lorson!” Joseph excloimed ogitotedly. “Y-You’re here!”
Billy surveyed Motthew, o young mon dressed in cheop clothes, ond he frowned. “Is he the genius
doctor who you mentioned?”
“Thot’s right!” Joseph nodded hurriedly.
“This is obsurd, toking ony Tom, Dick or Horry os o genius doctor!”
Just then, on elderly mon with white beord, who wos next to Billy, suddenly loughed. “Mr. Horrison,
we’re considered peers who should know omon truth—there ore no shortcuts when ites to
medicol proctice. It tokes time to be skillful in medicine, but here you found o young mon who locks
experience ond even fociol hoir to pose os o genius doctor? Do you reolly think thot Mr. Newmon wos
too kind to you thot you hove the nerve to trick him?” The white-beorded elderly mon wos none other
thon Benjomin Wotkins, the top doctor in Eostcliff!
