The Luckiest Dumb Doctor-Chapter 603 - Healington_1

Chapter 603: Chapter 603 Healington_1

On the shores of West Lake, there resided a courtyard, with a wooden walkway extending from its back garden, directly to the heart of West Lake.

Mike Hayes, accompanied by an elderly butler, walked along the walkway; upon reaching the end, the two halted.

Gazing upon the lake’s serene surface, Mike Hayes took a deep breath, his face filled with reverence and piety, and loudly exclaimed,

“Mike Hayes of the Hayes Family, greets the Grandmaster.”

As his words fell, both of them became silent.

For a while, the lake remained undisturbed.

Seeing this, the elderly butler softly suggested, “Brother Hayes, please return. It is not yet time for the Grandmaster to leave his seclusion.”

“This…”

Looking troubled, Mike Hayes responded, “Perhaps…let me try again, maybe the Grandmaster didn’t hear me?”

The butler’s brow creased slightly, saying, “Brother Hayes, I must ask you to leave.”

Even though Lesley Davis had gone to Danu, intending to inform Healington about Barry Wolfe and ask for their help in dealing with him,

Mike Hayes still wanted to try his luck and see if he could persuade the Grandmaster to end his seclusion early.

Now that he was already here, how could he willingly just turn back?

Seeing the butler effectively issuing an eviction, Mike Hayes, regardless of anything else, shouted,

“Grandmaster, a great disturbance has arisen in the south of the Yangtze; I beg of you…”

Whoosh!

Before Mike Hayes could finish his sentence, there was suddenly a disturbance on the surface of the lake.

What was just a moment ago as still as a mirror, the lake’s surface suddenly swelled upward.

In an instant, a three-meter-high wave formed.

“Grandmaster…”

A glimmer of joy appeared on Mike Hayes’s face, but before he could speak again, the wave suddenly transformed into a giant hand and viciously slapped down.

Smack!

A bewildered Mike Hayes was sent flying.

The butler, who had already retreated to a distance, looked on with a detached expression. When the lake returned to calm, he beckoned the bodyguards to come over and fish Mike Hayes out of the water.

Splash!

Mike Hayes was carelessly thrown onto the walkway.

The butler approached, looking down at him from above, his voice emotionless, “You need not come here anymore, you are not welcome. Do you understand?”

“I…”

“Throw him out!”

Before Mike Hayes could speak, the butler waved his hand and the two bodyguards lifted Mike Hayes and carried him away.

This time, Mike Hayes truly quietened down, not daring to say another word in his defense.

The butler turned around, bowed towards the tranquil lake, then departed.

The heart of West Lake once again fell silent.

…

In Danu, on the fringes of the hundred-thousand mountain range.

Lesley Davis followed his friend Christian Hall for most of the day before they finally reached the entrance to a valley.

At the mouth of the valley, someone had piled up logs to form a barricade, with several men in black patrolling back and forth on top.

In front of the barricade, the path leading to the valley entrance was flanked by two large, flattened clearings, meticulously crafted by hand.

Scattered across the clearing were over a dozen luxurious tents, complete with sun umbrellas, beach chairs, and other leisure equipment in front of them.

Several well-dressed men and women were sitting on beach chairs, resting and chatting.

Surrounding them was a group of bodyguards clad in black.

Based on their attire and demeanor, it was clear that these were people of wealth and status.

Upon seeing Lesley Davis and his companions, they immediately showed signs of wariness.

One of the wealthy middle-aged men noticed Christian Hall and greeted him with a smile, “Old Liu, have you brought another friend over?”

Christian Hall dealt in the herbal medicine business and frequently interacted with Healington. Several of the wealthy patrons waiting in line for medical consultation were introduced by him.

“Haha, this time it’s not about seeing a patient, but rather, there’s something else I’d like to discuss.”

“After you’ve taken care of business, come over for a couple of drinks.”

“Sure, wait for me.”

Christian Hall chuckled and guided Lesley Davis to the fortress walls before calling out loudly, “Brothers, I am Christian Hall and I wish to speak with Elder Hu on an urgent matter.”

“Ah, it’s old Christian.”

A middle-aged man in black looked down, waved to someone beside him, and commanded, “Open the small gate and let old Christian in.”

Soon after, a small gate opened to the side, and Christian Hall hurriedly led Lesley Davis inside, while their accompanying bodyguards were left outside.

Healington was vast, with a grand hall at the center and wooden two-story buildings surrounding it.

It was the afternoon, and white smoke curled up from the chimneys of each building, with a faint scent of medicine lingering in the air.

Lesley Davis did not dare speak a word the entire way, cautiously following behind, and as they entered one of the two-story buildings, they were stopped by a young attendant.

Christian Hall passed over a box with a grin, asking, “Little master, is Elder Hu in?”

The attendant covertly tucked the box into the wide sleeves of his robe and nodded, “He is. Elder Hu is currently practicing alchemy. Does Mr. Hall have business with him?”

Christian Hall nodded and replied, “Indeed, I have an important matter to report.”

Glancing at Lesley Davis who was standing aside, the attendant suggested, “Mr. Hall, please rest in the tea room while I inform him.”

“All right.”

Christian Hall agreed and followed the attendant to the tea room, patiently waiting.

However, their wait turned into an entire afternoon until it was completely dark and an elderly man finally entered.

Upon seeing this, Christian Hall quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Elder Hu, hello.”

“Hmm.”

Elder Hu slowly walked to the other side of the tea table and sat down before asking, “Speak, what brings you here this time?”

“This…”

Christian Hall glanced at Lesley Davis next to him and said with an embarrassed laugh, “I’ll let my friend here explain, as I don’t fully understand the particulars.”

Lesley Davis quickly said, “Good day, Elder Hu. I wanted to inquire whether Healington has a practitioner by the name of Curtis Milton?”

Elder Hu, not tall but with a stern and authoritative countenance, eyed Lesley Davis and replied tersely,

“Correct, there is such a person. What about Curtis Milton?”

“He…he’s dead.”

“What did you say?”

Elder Hu’s expression turned cold, his formidable aura bursting forth, “How did he die? Explain clearly!”

Feeling the intense pressure, beads of cold sweat formed on Lesley Davis’ forehead.

He nervously recounted the events.

Upon learning that a practitioner of Healington was murdered, Elder Hu was furiously outraged and declared in a stern voice, “To dare lay hands on a practitioner of Healington… truly audacious beyond belief.”

He stood up abruptly, turned to Lesley Davis, and said, “Come with me to see the Grandmaster.”

“Yes!”

Lesley Davis inwardly rejoiced, nodded to Christian Hall, and then followed Elder Hu out of the building towards the main hall of Healington.

In the hall, Grandmaster Violet Robbins was deeply engrossed in studying medical texts. Hearing footsteps, he raised his head and asked gravely, “What is the matter?”

Elder Hu bowed and respectfully said, “Grandmaster, the practitioner Curtis Milton is dead.”

He nudged Lesley Davis, who quickly recounted the whole affair.

Upon learning that Barry Wolfe had not only killed Curtis Milton but also two external elders of Healington, Grandmaster Violet Robbins’s face also darkened.

He turned to someone beside him and instructed, “Bring Keith Herbert and Archie Barnett here.”

“Yes.”

A young attendant emerged from a corner, responded affirmatively, and hurried out of the hall. Not long after, he returned with two elderly men.

“Grandmaster, you called for us, may I know why?”

“I need you two to take a trip northwest and capture that Barry Wolfe and bring him back to me…”

Seeing this, Lesley Davis eagerly interjected, “Grandmaster, I received news yesterday that Barry Wolfe has already arrived in Danu and is currently in Red River County.”
