A Familiar Guest Came Knocking The Clinic’s Door

Ethan who escaped the assassination attempt entered the Phoenix Feather City. He remained extra cautious throughout his journey protecting himself from any sudden attack by the assassins.

By the time he reached the Phoenix Feather City, time was 2 am. After undergoing a security check, Ethan finally entered the interior of the city. But he remained cautious. Even though he was safe within the city, that was just on the surface. He knew that the mastermind behind the assassin was some big shot from the city. So he wouldn't be surprised if an assassination attempt was made on him within the city.

Moreover, the time is 2 am. Which means, it is midnight. Ethan knew that this time is suitable for any assassination attempts. So he remained cautious. By the time he reached his clinic which is located on the city outskirts, the time was 2:30 am.

Fortunately, he didn't suffer any Assassination attempts on his way. As soon as he reached his clinic, he closed all the entrances tightly. He even activated the defensive and alarm arrays just in case.

After doing everything he can to defend himself, Ethan lied down on his bed and started to think about the assassin. He particularly thinks about the person that hired the assassin to assassinate him.

He tries to figure out the mastermind behind the assassination attempt that happened to him. But he soon fails. After all, he lacked information. And he doesn't know where to begin with

Young Master Sirius came to his mind. But since his father was one of the contestants for the branch patriarch, he won't dare to kill Ethan. At least, not until the elections are over. Or else, his father will be angry at him. The people of the city knew the feud between him and the Young Master Sirius. So he won't dare to mess up with his father's plan to become the next patriarch.

Then Ethan thought of other supreme elders. They might use his assassination to fame Young Master Sirius' father and try their best to damage his reputation.

If that is the case, then who might be the one who tried to use his assassination for their gain?

Of course, he might be wrong as well. So he couldn't come up with any definite answer. Ethan decided to worry about it in the future. After all, he lacked information to go for further analysis. And most importantly, he was urging to take a look at his loot.

He wants to train in new cultivation techniques as soon as possible. He now had the Spirit Cultivation Technique to train in his Spirit. He now has a Physique Cultivation Technique to train his Physique.

And everything was in a Spatial Ring given to him by the Spirit God. Ethan was thrilled. All this time, Spatial Ring was just a magical item which could be found in a novel. Seeing one, in reality, was just a myth for him. But now he practically owned a Spatial Ring.

Spatial Rings were just legend in the Mortal World. They were all practically extinct. And yet, he had one with him right now. If any other person gets wind of this, then he will become a target. A bloody war will start just to get it. So Ethan remained cautious and placed the Spatial ring within his System Inventory.

Knock! Knock!

Ethan was excited. He was impatient to take the items out and inspect them. Just as he was about to activate the spatial ring, someone knocked on his door.

Ethan immediately became cautious. An assassination attempt was already made on him. There might be a second one now. After all, the time was 2:30 am. Who would come at a time like this?

But if it was truly an assassination attempt, then why would they knock on his door? It will be like "knock knock!", "Who is it?", "I am an assassin who came to kill you. Please open the door."

Ethan didn't find it logical for anyone to knock on his door only to kill him after he opens it

He overruled the possibility of the assassination attempt. Then it might be someone else. But who might be knocking on his door at this hour?

After some thinking, Ethan decides to open the Door. But it didn't mean that he abandoned his caution.

He moved cautiously and opened the door. But he doesn't find anyone outside the door.

Ethan's cautious mode reached another level. He slowly moved out of his house. He already had the sword in his hand just in case any assassination attempt was truly made.

Just as he stepped outside his home, he found from the corner of his eye that someone was running toward him. Ethan instinctively took out the sword from his inventory and swung it in the direction of the person who was coming in his direction very quickly.

"Are you the doctor here? It's an emergency. Please sav—", Ethan heard what that person said. He knew that it was not an assassin. So, he immediately stopped his sword swing abruptly.

That person was also taken aback. He asked, "What are you doing? Is this how you treat people who came to receive their treatment?"

Ethan found this voice familiar. He took a look at that person and finds out that it was indeed someone he met in the past. It was actually Young Master Robin.

Young Master Robin purchased Grade-1 fruits from him not long ago. It was thanks to his generous payment that Ethan had the money to rent all the medical equipment from the Union for his future prospect.

"Ah? It's you! What were you trying to do just now?", Young Master Robin recognised Ethan and asked him with caution.

Ethan sighed. He then said, "I am sorry! An assassination attempt was made on me outside the city. You came and knocked on my door at this hour. So I was just being cautious. I thought it was the assassin who knocked on my door. I am sorry for what I have done."

"Assassination attempt? I'm sorry to say this just now. But my friend here is suffering from pain. Her body has turned very cold. Even we are feeling the chill. I didn't know you were a doctor. Please save her."

Ethan then looked a little back behind Young Master Robin. He found that there were two girls behind him. One of them was sleeping and suffering from pain. Her body was bloody. She is one step away from losing consciousness. Her body turned white. Her surroundings even turned icy. Even Ethan felt chill standing a little distance away from her.

And the other girl is taking care of her in whatever way she can. There is a trace of worry appearing on her face.

"How chilly? What happened to her?", Ethan asked.
