Physician's Odyssey-Chapter 814 - Mercenary Base’s Internal Strife

Chapter 814 - Mercenary Base’s Internal Strife

It wasn’t hard for Su Tao to find Yuan Lan’s location because she was brought out at night and was hung on a wooden frame at the center of the plaza.

Her clothes were in a mess with her head lowered. Occasionally, the mercenaries would tease her seeing that she was a woman. But they soon gave up when they did not get any response from her.

“Arnold, didn’t you say that you’re going to have some fun with her?” Someone incited.

“Don’t mention about it. Stein did not agree to it because this woman still has some worth.” Arnold was pissed mentioning it.

“Haha, isn’t it just an excuse?” That mercenary laughed as he went on, “Half a month ago when you brought a woman back, she said that you only lasted five minutes!”

Upon hearing those words, the other mercenaries laughed along. Arnold might be the leader during missions, but they were all friends.

As Arnold drank some alcohol, his blood rushed to his head as he raged, “Screw you and your rubbish. I’ll show you how capable I am now!”

As he spoke, he walked towards Yuan Lan directly with everyone else echoing along in the background.

They were all waiting for a show!

Although Stein had forbidden Arnold from touching Yuan Lan, he still couldn’t hold his urge back, not to mention that he was poked fun at by the mercenaries.

As mercenaries lived a loose life, it was normal for them to have fun in public.

Walking over to Yuan Lan, Arnold held onto her chin as he swept a glance at her and sneered, “So you’re still alive!”

After all, it wasn’t fun doing it with a corpse.

“Why don’t I show you some fun time?” Arnold smiled, lecherously.

However, Yuan Lan responded to his words indifferently as she was already prepared for it. If Arnold touched her body, she would bite the poison hidden in her teeth.

But she wouldn’t do it unless she was left with no choice. After all, life was precious.

She was ultimately a woman despite the fact that she had often forgotten about her gender during missions. However, she would never allow her dignity to be humiliated because it wasn’t only her dignity, but the dignity of her country and organization as well.

Arnold was already in the mood as he pulled his trousers down and reached out for Yuan Lan’s clothes.

With a rip, he tore Yuan Lan’s shirt apart, revealing her pearly white skin and prideful figure.

As Arnold licked his lips, he breathed out heavily as he pounced at Yuan Lan impatiently.

At this moment, Yuan Lan was already prepared to take the poison and kill herself.

But all of a sudden, a surge of killing intent came from the right. As a mercenary with ample experience in the battlefield, Arnold responded swiftly as he dodged subconsciously.

However, the jab came quickly and struck his chin, striking him dizzy.

He was stunned at this moment as he couldn’t think of anyone who would attack him at this moment.

Arnold staggered as he regained control of his body. When he saw that it was an Asian who attacked him, he roared as he charged at Su Tao.

He was 6’2”, and he looked like an enraged bear at this moment.

Although he was swift with his punch, his movements were filled with flaws in the eyes of Su Tao.

As for Yuan Lan, she was inwardly shocked at this moment as she never imagined that Su Tao would suddenly appear to stop Arnold, and she was just a few seconds away from consuming the poison.

So strictly speaking, she was just at the gates of hell.

But what was Su Tao doing here?

Wouldn’t he be in danger of fighting here?

Yuan Lan could no longer remain calm in her heart as she was filled with anxiety instead.

It was unwise of Su Tao to jump out at save her.

All the mercenaries were warlike. When they saw Su Tao and Arnold engaging in a fight, they immediately clapped as they watched the show as an enjoyment.

“Bust his head!”

“Snap his neck!”

“Get him to lick you!”

Arnold did not have a high prestige among the people. After all, Stein only managed to be in his position because his father was ill, and Arnold was only in his position because he had gained Stein’s trust. But in everyone’s eyes, Arnold was just Stein’s dog.

It was especially so for those senior veterans who had been with the old leader, Hamza. All of them felt that Arnold was too arrogant and they did not like him, and this was also their intention when they invited Lin Yifu.

Although Arnold drank alcohol, he still kept his mind clear. After ten-odd minutes of fighting, he discovered that he had his moves completely seen through by Su Tao. If it wasn’t for the fact that he could take a beating, he would be lying on the floor by now.

Arnold had some impression of Su Tao. The young Asian man was the physician that Lin Yifu had invited to treat Hamza, so Arnold was shocked as he never imagined that a physician would be so good at fighting.

When Lin Yifu heard the commotion, he stood in the building nearby as he looked at the battle between Arnold and Su Tao calmly while he asked, “Does Su Tao have any odds of winning?”

He was a wise man, not a fighter.

“100%!” His bodyguard replied with a hoarse voice.

“That’s great!” Lin Yifu did not know why Su Tao suddenly acted, but he knew that there must be a story behind it.

However, he had decided to wait and see what happens.

When Stein received the news, he also came out. When he saw Arnold and Su Tao fighting, he did not stop the fight as it was still within control. After all, fighting wasn’t uncommon in a mercenary base.

But Stein was still surprised that the physician that Lin Yifu brought over would be so good at fighting.

With Lin Yifu backing him up, Stein had no choice but to be cautious when handling this matter.

“Why did the two of them fight?” Stein asked coldly.

“Arnold wanted to play with the woman, and he was suddenly punched by that physician.” Someone replied to him.

“That fool!” Stein roared.

However, Arnold was still his men and he was standing on Arnold’s side in his heart. But because of Lin Yifu, he could only watch the fight.

In Stein’s view, it was easy to resolve this fight. As long as Arnold teaches that young man a lesson, it will be fine as long as the young man wasn’t killed.

Many mercenaries felt that Su Tao was insane. Despite being an outsider, he actually dared to fight with Arnold, who wielded authority.

Everyone knew how well Arnold could fight, and he could be ranked among the top in the entire base. Otherwise, he also wouldn’t become Stein’s trusted aside.

Su Tao easily dodged Arnold’s attack as he took a deep breath and decided to retaliate.

The reason why he spent so much time was that he did not want to appear too powerful. Otherwise, the mercenaries here would only think that he was trying to provoke them and boast his martial arts.

Then again, he had only made a move when he saw that Yuan Lan was about to be humiliated and it wasn’t part of his plan.

Taking a deep breath, Su Tao ducked Arnold’s hook as he gave an uppercut on the latter’s chin.

Receiving a strong blow to his chin, Arnold froze before he lost consciousness.

“What?!”

All the mercenaries were dumbfounded.

Why did the battle end all of a sudden?

What exactly just happened?

Because Su Tao was too swift, no one managed to see anything because of the dim lighting.

They did not manage to see how Su Tao defeated Arnold!

“Beautifully done!” Lin Yifu’s bodyguard praised.

Letting out a sigh inwardly, Lin Yifu came down the stairs as he knew he had to made an appearance. Otherwise, Su Tao would definitely become a public enemy today.

Arnold was Stein’s trusted aide. As the saying goes, you have to look at the master before beating the dog. So Stein was furious as well as he stomped down the stairs and faced off with Lin Yifu.

“What was going on?” Stein questioned furiously.

His subordinate behind him cooperated well as he pulled out his pistol, but it did not point it at Lin Yifu.

“I would like to explain on Mr. Su’s behalf!” Lin Yifu calmly smiled.

When Stein saw Su Tao walking over, he raged, “My men aren’t someone that you can easily make your move on. I demand a reason or I’ll dump you on the mountains behind to feed the wolves.”

Although his subordinate did not dare to point the pistol at Lin Yifu, he could point it at Su Tao.

Seeing so many guns pointed at him, Su Tao listened to Lin Yifu’s explanation before he sneered, “I have no idea what the woman did, but I can’t stand a man bullying a woman.”

When Stein heard Lin Yifu’s translation, he was surprised by the answer. So it turns out that Su Tao’s sympathy acted up.

“You’re only here with Mr. Lin to treat my father, so you’re only a guest. But you did not obey the rules and made a move on my men. If this matter is not resolved, then there’s no way I can answer to everyone here.” He sneered.

For Su Tao to beat Arnold up in public, it was the same as giving him a slap on his face.

Stein’s foundation wasn’t firm, so this incident made him extremely unhappy.

“What do you want then?” Su Tao asked in a solemn tone.

“Leave here immediately!” Stein replied coldly as he added, “As for my father’s illness, Doctor Dominic will be the one taking care of him.”

However, Lin Yifu knew that Hamza’s condition had improved from Su Tao’s treatment, so he had decided to stay for a few days.

But he never expected such an incident that placed him in a difficult position.

As he swept a glance at the woman tied on the frame, he saw an Asian woman. Although he had no idea why would Su Tao be so impulsive, but even he wouldn’t bear watching a woman humiliated if he was standing in Su Tao’s shoes.

“Firstly, I was invited by your father, so you have no authority to get us to leave. Secondly, according to what I know, Hamza forbids anyone from raping hostages when he was the leader. In my view, it was Arnold who violated the rules and he should be the one to leave instead.” Lin Yifu spoke out coldly.

Upon hearing those words, Stein was shocked as he glared at Lin Yifu. That old man finally revealed his intentions at this moment, trying to seize his authority.
