The Rolls-Royce Phantom glided smoothly through the city streets.
Inside the car, the old butler, Alfred, was still trembling. He looked at Victor through the rearview mirror with a mixture of fear and admiration.
"Young Master... that was... incredible," Alfred stammered. "But, are we really going to cut ties with the White family? The Master (Victor's father) might be angry..."
"Angry?" Victor rested his head on the leather seat, closing his eyes. "He will thank me. The White family is a sinking ship. Investing in them is throwing money into a fire."
"Besides," Victor tapped his finger on the armrest. "I have bigger plans."
[System Notification]
[Would you like to claim the reward: 'The Ancient Medical Scripture' (Legendary Rank)?]
"Claim," Victor commanded in his mind.
Boom!
A golden light, invisible to others, shot into Victor's forehead. Instantly, countless medical techniques, acupuncture methods, and forgotten prescriptions flooded his brain.
It felt like he had studied medicine for a thousand years.
When Victor opened his eyes again, a sharp glint flashed through them. He looked at Alfred's back.
"Uncle Alfred, your left shoulder hurts when it rains, and you have mild insomnia lately, correct?"
Alfred was shocked. "How... how did you know, Young Master? I never told anyone."
Victor smiled mysteriously. "I know everything."
He had instantly mastered the "Divine Doctor" skills. Now, he could see a person's ailments just by looking at them.
Suddenly, Victor recalled the plot of the original novel.
In the book, after Lin Feng was humiliated at the banquet, he would wander the streets in anger. He would then coincidentally pass by the Central City Hospital.
There, he would meet the granddaughter of the Su Family, the most powerful family in the province. Her grandfather, Elder Su, was dying of a mysterious illness that no modern doctor could cure.
Lin Feng would use the "Ancient Medical Scripture" (which he was supposed to have) to save Elder Su.
The Su Family would then become Lin Feng's biggest backer, helping him destroy the Cheyne family.
"The Su Family..." Victor narrowed his eyes. "Elder Su is a war hero. His influence is ten times greater than my family's."
In the original story, this was Lin Feng's turning point.
"Driver!" Victor suddenly ordered. "Change destination."
"Where to, Young Master?"
"Central City Hospital. Drive fast."
Alfred was confused. "Hospital? Are you feeling unwell, Sir?"
"No," Victor adjusted his cufflinks, a cold smirk playing on his lips. "I am going to save a life. And... steal a dog's bone."
...
Meanwhile, outside the Royal Crystal Hotel.
Lin Feng stood in the cold wind, his fists clenched tight. The humiliating scene played over and over in his mind.
"Victor... I will kill you! I swear!" Lin Feng roared at the sky.
But right now, he was powerless. He needed allies. He needed someone powerful enough to suppress Victor's money.
"I need to clear my mind," Lin Feng gritted his teeth and started walking aimlessly.
Unknowingly, his feet led him toward the Central City Hospital.
According to "fate," he was supposed to arrive there in 20 minutes, just in time to hear the Su family crying for help.
But he didn't know that a Rolls-Royce was already speeding there, arriving ten minutes ahead of him.
[Ding!] [Side Mission Triggered: Save Elder Su.] [Objective: Cure Elder Su before the Protagonist arrives.] [Reward: The Loyalty of the Su Family + 2000 Villain Points.]
Victor looked at the mission panel and laughed.
"Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng. By the time you get there, I'll be drinking tea with the people you were supposed to save."
