Hearing what James said, the Callahans mocked him.Howard’s wife, Jolie, said sarcastically, “James, aren’t you overestimating yourself? Did you think you’re a genius doctor just because you have some medical knowledge? There are millions of doctors in Cansington. Any one of them is better than you.”“Exactly,” Tommy agreed. “You’re good for nothing except boasting.”James did not argue with them.The Callahans had never seen eye to eye with him. They mocked him at every opportunity.He had gotten used to it, so there was no point in arguing.Thea asked, “Honey, could you help Eternality rise from the ashes?”“What has Eternality got to do with me?” James said carelessly. “I want Pacific, no, Century, to make its mark at the medical conference this time.”“Bullsh*t.”“James, let’s see how you manage to help Century.”“The factory lots and offices have been shut down. What else can you do?”The Callahans started their sarcastic remarks again.“Thea, let’s take a look at Cent

This was the first time in twenty years.“Trevor.”Lex leaned on his cane as he approached. He looked resigned. “We fought over our family assets all those years ago. It’s been so long, and we are both at the end of our lives. Could we let this go?”Trevor and his family looked at Lex.What was he trying to play at?“Hey, what’s the expression all about?” Tommy asked arrogantly. He pointed at Trevor and his family, shouting, “Didn’t you hear what my grandfather said?”“Tommy, shut your mouth,” Lex ordered.“Yes, grandfather.” Tommy did as he said.Lex looked at a dejected Trevor and sighed. “After all this, I’ve finally come to my senses. Why don’t we let bygones be bygones? We’re family. We don’t have to keep doing this.”As she heard Lex say that, Thea was overjoyed.Happily, she said, “Grandfather, I’m so happy you could let things go. Now we can live together in harmony as a family once more!”“What family?” Larry’s son Quinton said unhappily.When the Callahans were ri

Thea rolled her eyes.She wondered what other tricks James had.Who knew that he was going to use her beauty as a reason to get votes?“Even if I manage to get enough popular votes, they’re only worth 50%. I don’t have any medical knowledge. How would I gather votes from the patients? I would never make the top 100.”James smiled mysteriously. “Leave that to me. Why don’t you take a walk outside? I’ll take care of the rest.”Thea nodded, resigned. “Alright then.”It was exceptionally busy on Medical Street today. She wanted to see it for herself.She left after she bid James goodbye.James continued to sit at the entrance of Century Hospital. He took his phone out and called Jay.As the helmsman of Herbal Biotech, Jay was rarely available for consultation.Just then, he was sequestered with other experts in the medical world, discussing content for the competition.His personal phone rang.He took a look at it. Noticing that it was James, he got up immediately and went to a

“Yes, ma’am.”Scarlett said, “Set up a temporary department immediately. I need you to get people online to make appointments with Thea on the Doctor App. Pay each person who makes an appointment ten dollars. If they could make it to Medical Street, see Thea in person for a consultation and give her their vote, pay them a hundred dollars each.”“...”Quincy was stunned. She did not understand what Scarlett was trying to say.“Ma’am, what’s all this about?”Scarlett coughed awkwardly. “James wants to ensure Thea gets into the top 100 at the medical conference.”“Oh.”Quincy came to a realization. “I get it now.”Immediately, she put the plan into action.She was great at executing plans. Quickly, she set up a temporary department, recruiting a few hundred people from different departments in the company. All of them created their own chat group, each consisting of more than a thousand people.“Good news! Download the Doctor App now and search for Century Hospital. Select Dr. T

Thea was enjoying her walk on Medical Street.All the big hospitals were full of people with queues snaking out of them.Herbal Biotech, Longevity Hospital, and Celestial Hospital were particularly full and extremely busy.“Thea, you’re a sham.”“How could you do something so horrible? Your appointments have far exceeded Christine's.”“You’ve even left Yadriel Willows, Dr. Michael, and Cameron Grimborn among other expert doctors in the dust.”Thea was just walking, but all the passers-by were pointing at her.Some of them insulted her.She was confused.Why was she a sham?She took her phone out, checking the Doctor App.Her eyes almost bugged out of her head.Apparently, she had gotten two hundred thousand appointments and treated more than thirty thousand patients. She was in the lead.What?Her eyes widened.Who was behind this?Was it James?Now she knew why James was so confident.It had not even been half a day yet, but she had treated more than thirty thousand

James smiled robotically. Stiffly, he stood up, just like a wooden puppet. Step by step, he left Century Hospital.He bought Thea her ranking, making her the laughing stock of Cansington and the medical conference.He did not care.He left Medical Street. After he left, he studied his surroundings to make sure that he was not being followed. Then, he called a cab to Common Clinic.At Common Clinic.Ronn was there.He was talking to May in the clinic.James walked in.Both of them stood up immediately and said simultaneously, “James.”James waved a hand and sat down before saying, “Have you found out who was trying to kill me this morning?”Ronn nodded. “I’ve got all the information.”“Tell me.”Ronn said, “These people arrived in Cansington eight days ago. They’re mercenaries from the border of the Southern Plains. They’re part of the Purgatory Army.”“Oh, the Purgatory Army?”James narrowed his eyes.Having been at the Southern Plains for 10 years, he was familiar with

It felt like the calm before the storm.James had a strong feeling that Cansington would be chaos in no time.All the different armies, political parties, and forces would be gathered there.“May.”“Yes, James?”James drummed his fingers on the table, deep in thought. “Is it possible for you to get in touch with any assassins from the Dark Castle?”May nodded. “I could get in touch with some of them.”James said, “Get in touch with them now. Say that you’re having trouble in Cansington and require backup.”James had to recruit some experts.Assassins from the Dark Castle were a solid choice.“Got it.”May obeyed.She typed out a short message on her phone.“Black Snake, I have failed my mission and blown my cover. I’ve killed the middleman. I’m hiding out in Cansington now, but I’m injured. Please help me escape.”After she crafted the message, she keyed in a number and sent it out.James watched as she sent the message, asking, “Who’s Black Snake?”May said, “An SSS-ra

After he finished speaking, he left.He called Ronn after leaving Common Clinic.Ronn showed up immediately.Inside a black multi-purpose vehicle.James was smoking.“Sir.”James wrote down a bunch of numbers on a piece of paper and passed it to Ronn. “This is a code from the Dark Castle. Find out what it means.”“Yes, sir.”“Also, keep a close eye on May. I want to know every single person she comes in contact with.”“Of course.” Ronn nodded and asked, “Is there anything else?”“That’s all. You may return.”James disembarked and called a cab home.At Common Clinic.May sat on a chair. As an assassin, she was keenly aware of her surroundings.She knew that Common Clinic was being watched, and there was very little she could do.She looked resigned.She knew that James did not trust her.There was nothing she could do about it since she was a former assassin.Now, the best thing she could do was persuade Black Snake.As long as Black Snake joined them, she would gain
