“Boss, Hanks and his men have not left Cloudtopia,” Dianne informed.
Skylar furrowed his brow; his gaze was icy and stern. He had given Hank and his men half a day to
leave Cloudtopia at Francis’ martial arts gym yesterday. The hooligans had ignored his instructions.
“Where are they?” Skylar asked solemnly.
“At Sea Harbor Hotel,” Dianne replied.
After hanging up the call, Skylar hailed a cab and headed to the hotel. He had already offered them two
opportunities to depart the city. There was no reason to show mercy now that his warnings had fallen
on deaf ears.
Meanwhile, at Cloudtopia General Hospital, Delilah was about to leave for home to pack fresh clothes
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor Blanc. On her way out, she bumped into Daiz.
“Dr. Carlson told me you’ve managed to persuade the young miracle doctor to treat Mr. Whitlock. Is he
still in the ward?” the old man said excitedly.
Seeing how helpful Daiz had been throughout, she said truthfully, “Mr. Russo, sadly, Mr. Skylar left after
doing the acupuncture.”
“He left? I came here as soon as I heard the news. I wanted to witness the God of Medicine’s skills. I
can’t believe I missed it!” Daiz pounded his chest in exasperation. While he was disappointed by the
news, he was also mildly impressed by Skylar’s skills. Legend has it that the 24 Needles Technique
required a large amount of energy and focus. Many early-stage practitioners would not be able to
master such an advanced technique; most tend to drop out halfway due to the overwhelming amount of
energy required.
Practitioners with more than ten years of experience would require at least three hours to master the 24
Needles Technique. Yet, Skylar was able to complete the acupuncture treatment within ten minutes.
It’s incredible that a young man like him could finish the treatment in such a short time frame. Not being
able to see the 24 Needles Technique in action will be one of my worst regrets in my life. I hope there’ll
be another chance to witness it…
Sea Harbor Hotel was known to cater to the expatriate community in Cloudtopia. Many of the staff,
including the cleaners, could speak exotic languages. Hank and his men were staying at the hotel.
Without the need for any explicit instructions, Dianne was already waiting for Skylar outside the hotel.
“They reserved a room for an extended stay, Boss. This means they have no intention of leaving
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCloudtopia anytime soon,” Dianne reported.
Skylar grumbled, “They refused to go when we offered them the opportunity. We can then make good
on our earlier promises. Let’s dump them into the sea so the sharks may eat them.”
“Okay!” Dianne remarked, trying her best to catch up with Skylar’s hastened steps.
Just as they were about to head to the hotel room area, an oddly familiar voice sounded. Skylar turned
around and saw Greg Kirk, the showoff at the class reunion.
When Greg saw Sklar, he was also enraged. It reminded him of the awkward incident from yesterday’s
class reunion. Despite his smile, he was secretly furious. He genuinely despised Skylar and yearned
for an opportunity to exact revenge on him.
Suddenly, Skylar noticed there was a group of men walking behind Greg. It was Hank and his men.
They looked cautiously at Skylar, afraid that there would be a repeat of the beatings at Francis’ martial
arts gym yesterday.
Greg was astonished to see Hanks and his men’s reaction to Skylar. He probed, “Do you know him?”
