Curtis frowned, asking, "He''s the person you were talking about?"


    "That''s right," replied Dalton.


    Sometimes, situations arose in which one needed to exercise discretion.


    Felix spoke up at that moment. "Mr. Meyer Senior, Mr. Summers Senior, I''m expecting a guest back home. I''m afraid that it''s not an appointment I can reschedule, so I''ll take my leave first."


    After Dalton had escorted Felix out, Curtis started questioning him again.


    "Are you sure he was the one who helped your family and that he didn''t ask for any reward?


    Whatever the two old men discussed regarding the situation with Martial Alliance, it was no longer Felix''s concern. He had already achieved the oue he wanted-although he knew that Curtis wouldn''t change his mind about him due to this incident alone, it was still a good start.


    At that moment, there was an electric scooter lying on its side on a street in Canraville, and not far from the scootery an old man. There were many onlookers gathered around, and it was clear that there had been an ident. ""Dad! Dad!"


    Just then, a muscr-looking man rushed past the crowd onto the scene. When he saw that the old man remained motionless despite his calls, eyes still tightly shut, his eyes reddened.


    "Who was it?" he asked fiercely. "Who ran into my dad?"


    Not far away from the scene was Nancy, who was trembling violently.


    "It was me," she said shakily. "I''m sorry! I really didn''t see him! I''ve already called an ambnce. The responsibility falls on me.


    The beefy man-Damon Brough-immediately rushed toward her, right fist raised to hit


    her.


    "Fuck you!" he roared. "My dad just had heart stent surgery barely more than a month ago! I''m going to kill you if anything happens to him!" The reason his fist didn''t reach Nancy was because someone had caught him by the wrist.


    "What''s happened has happened. What''s the use of beating her up now?"


    At the sound of the familiar voice, Nancy looked to see that it was Felix-who had appeared who knew when-who had grabbed Damon''s wrist. "Let go of me!" Demon bellowed.


    Felix frowned, exining, "I''m a doctor. I can tend to your father."


    When he heard this, Damon pointed a finger at Felix.


    "Alright. If my dad pulls through today, then all I ask is a bit ofpensation, and we can each go our own way. Otherwise, don''t even think about getting away unscathed!"


    After casting Nancy a meaningful nce, Felix approached the old man. Along the way, overheard the whispers of the nearby onlookers.


    "That poordy," one of them murmured.


    "Why do you think that?" asked another.


    he


    "That old man is a habitual offender," exined the first person. "He frequently staged his own ident at this intersection. I witnessed the ident firsthand-he tripped as he was running out and failed to control his momentum. That''s how he ended up getting hit by the youngdy''s scooter head-on."


    "Huh? So he was an ident faker? That''s such a pity. No matter how it happened, she did actually hit him, so she won''t be able to escape the responsibility. Furthermore, his son doesn''t look like the decent sort, so it''ll definitely spell trouble for her."


    By that point, Felix had already kneeled down on the street. He had to admit that the old man''s condition was looking terrible. The collision just now may have caused the heart stent that had just barely been inserted to shift. They couldn''t afford to wait around for the ambnce.


    When Damon saw Felix pulling out his silver needles, he immediately shouted, "What the hell are you doing?"


    "Saving your father," Felix replied.


    "Saving him, my ass! If I''d known earlier that you were a traditional medicine practitioner, I wouldn''t even have let you near my father! What fucking use is some sewing tool like that? If you dare touch him and anything happens to him, you''ll be a murderer!" Knowing that many people held doubts about traditional medicine in this day and age, Felix exined patiently, "Your father is in critical condition right now. We don''t have the time to wait for the ambnce to arrive.


    "Believe me, if your father really dies due to my treatment, I''m willing to ept legal responsibility."


    Damon sneered. "You make outrageous ims, but traditional medicine practitioners are all just scammers. I dare you to try and touch my father!"


    Just as Felix was about to start the treatment by force, a voice rang through the air.


    "I''ll vouch for him!"
