Evil Man
Beads of cold sweat had already accumulated on Harrison's forehead. He could hardly believe how presumptuous the woman was, just because of her unparalleled medical skills…
He wondered if she had actually considered the possibility of Daemon taking revenge on her after he recovered.
After all, Daemon was well-known for being a cruel and ruthless man who would not hesitate to kill another person.
Harrison snuck a glance at Daemon, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart. It was obvious that Daemon was fuming mad. In fact, he was so angry that his face had already turned purple!
"Mr. Lierger, please calm down, " Perry said cautiously.
"Try and get some medicine from Dr. Feroma that can help to temporarily suppress Mr. Lierger's fever…" Harrison instructed the nurse.
"Understood, " Perry replied before she ran to look Derila.
In the dimly-lit room, Daemon was lying on the bed with one hand on his forehead, feeling extremely frustrated. Due to his high fever, the man was looking pale and his entire body was heating up…
Harrison handed him a glass of water but Daemon knocked it to the ground. "Get lost!"
Harrison cleaned up the broken glass quietly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of triggering the man.
Meanwhile, in the next room, Perry was pleading with Derila earnestly. "Dr. Feroma, I beg you to think of a way to help Mr. Lierger. He is in so much agony because of his sickness. Besides, he still has to attend tomorrow evening's function…"
"You should be persuading him instead of me." Derila was speechless. "He's life is already in danger given how sick he is. Not only is he not cooperating with my treatment, he's still thinking about attending that silly function? It's clear that he's retarded."
"This…"
"You have no idea what's going on."
Just then, an angry voice sounded.
Derila turned to look and saw that it was Charles. A crease appeared between her brows as she growled, "How did you come in?"
"Sorry. The door isn't locked, and I happened to hear your conversation so I let myself in, " Charles apologized politely before saying indignantly, "Mr. Lierger had spent three years trying to establish a firm foothold in the European market. After much effort, he has finally accomplished that, but our rivals kept trying to destroy us. Tomorrow is the day where he would be facing his rival head-on. If he doesn't show up, it would mean that he has chosen to back out. If that happened, our three years' worth of hard work would go down the drain. Besides, there are also business partners whom Mr. Lierger has to answer to. Countless people depend on him for a living. As such, he can't quit. The only way for him is to march forward fearlessly. Do you understand?"
"Nope, I don't understand." Derila was simply not interested in violence, dirty plays and snatching territories. "I only know that we only get to live once!"
"You…"
"That's enough, " Derila interrupted the man as she was getting annoyed by his incessant rambling. "I'll have to do my job since you've already paid me. I will do what I'm supposed to do. Let me see if I can give you something that can last him until tomorrow night."
"You'd better do it, " Charles warned sternly. "If anything bad happens to Mr. Lierger, you'll be dead!"
"Are you threatening me now?"
Derila stared at the man coldly, narrowing her eyes.
Charles let out a snort before he stomped away. He did not have Harrison's patience and would not attempt to reason with the doctor…
If anything bad happened to Mr. Lierger, he would not hesitate to kill.
Derila was nearly suffocating on her fury. If not for her duty as a doctor, she would definitely have flared up and walked away…
"Dr. Feroma, please don't be angry. Mr. Charles can be very blunt sometimes, " Perry quickly said, trying to defuse the situation. "However, what he said was true. If something bad happens to Mr. Lierger, not only you, even people like me wouldn't be able to leave M Nation alive."
"Why?" Derila blurted out but realized the answer to her own question just seconds later. "Oh, if something happens to him, his rival wouldn't let his people live."
"Yup, yup. That's right…" Perry nodded vigorously.
"What kind of person is Daemon exactly? Why would he come to M Nation to snatch other people's territories?" Derila asked, puzzled.
"We are from Erihal. Mr. Lierger said that Erihal's market is too small. As such, he had started to work on the European market three years back… I'm not sure of the details, but I know that Mr. Lierger is a proper business man while on the other hand, that Pastor is an evil man."
