As she saw Flynn’s mocking expression, Layla Woods’ face changed, and she coldly said, “My master has always taught me to have compassion as a doctor. I have taken his words as my motto.”
“You haven’t reached my position, so you can’t understand my difficulties.”
“If I don’t set rules, patients who seek medical advice will break through my door, and there will be no peace every day.”
Flynn smiled and got up to leave.
“Wait a minute. I have something else to say,” Layla Woods said sincerely after Flynn stood up.
“I have investigated the assassination in Northview. It was done by Xavier Caldwell, under Zion Watson’s command.”
“I misunderstood you.”
“I’m sorry.”
She was not a petty woman. When she made a mistake, she would admit it.
This was Layla Woods’ principle.
Flynn paused for a moment, with a skeptical expression on his face. “Xavier Caldwell? What was he doing in Northview?”
“I don’t know.” Layla Woods shook her head and calmly analyzed, “I treated Maisie Carlisle after Lord Valerian Nox turned her into a vegetable.”
“Xavier Caldwell immediately fled the scene after seeing my face. It seemed that he was not targeting me.”
Layla Woods’ gaze fell on Flynn.
The meaning was evident.
Xavier Caldwell came for Flynn.
Flynn’s expression became slightly serious.
On the day in Northview, the Black Mamba assassins, hired by Braiden Swanson, were also there.
Zion Watson must have been alerted, which was why he sent Xavier Caldwell to investigate in Northview.
But from the current situation, it seemed that Zion Watson hadn’t discovered anything.
Now more than twenty days had passed. Isaac Smith should have developed Dragon Slayer Powder by now.
It was time to call and ask about the progress.
Just as Flynn was about to send a message to Nathan Fletcher, a cry came from the courtyard.
“The Clark family is here!”
Members of the Kaur family rushed towards the gate.
“The Clark family?!”
Flynn and Layla Woods both expressed their confusion and walked towards the gate.
However, their expressions were quite different.
“Paxton Clark?” Flynn’s eyes emitted a murderous intent.
Layla Woods was stunned, unable to understand why members of the Clark family came to the Kaur family.
She was curious.
“My goodness! So many people are coming! Over thirty cars, such grandeur from the number one prominent family in Slatin!”
“See? I was right! Thankfully, we cleaned up properly and made room in the doorway!”
“Yes, otherwise, all these cars won’t be able to park. Hurry up and tidy up. Everyone, don’t talk too much later. Too many words will lead to mistakes. Don’t offend them!”
They were right. Everyone in those thirty cars was an influential figure.
Some came with Paxton Clark from Slatin.
Some were from various families in Shipmeda State.
There were even a few prominent families from neighboring states.
All of them had prestigious reputations and unparalleled status.
Some were on par with Zion Watson and were known as rulers in their respective regions.
They received news yesterday that Paxton Clark would arrive in Niarak today on a private plane, so they went to the airport early to wait for him.
After welcoming him with the highest level of etiquette, they arrived at the Kaur family’s place together.
As people from the Kaur family whispered among themselves, eighteen luxury cars parked neatly in front of the Kaur family’s house.
The door of the frontmost Rolls-Royce Phantom opened, and Paxton Clark stepped out. His tall and majestic figure was eye-catching.
His dense black hair was neatly combed with a touch of gray strands scattered throughout it.
He had sharp facial features and jawline. His long lips exuded an air of confidence, and his deep eyes sparkled with sharpness and unmatched dominance.
Just standing there, his whole being emitted the aura of an ultimate ruler, creating a crushing pressure like a mount collapsing before them, forcing everyone to bow their heads.
Close behind, Vicente Clark emerged from the car. Once standing on the ground, an invisible pressure spread like a river in all directions, making people feel as if they were falling into an abyss or standing beneath a towering cliff.
He was handsome and elegant, majestic in bearing. His deep eyes revealed an unmatched confidence, as if he stood at the peak of the world, looking down upon all living beings. With just a sweep of his gaze, everyone felt immense pressure, trembling as if he saw mountains crumbling and the earth splitting.
Even Matteo Kaur was shocked by the terrifying aura emanating from the father and son. After twenty years, Paxton Clark seemed completely transformed, having shed the immaturity of his student days to become the head of a powerful family.
They now existed in two different worlds. He now had to look up to Paxton Clark.
After seeing his son Vicente Clark, Matteo Kaur couldn’t help but compare him to Flynn. The difference between them was too great. One was Ostrad’s rising star, the other a mere ant on the ground. Yet, everything Vicente Clark now possessed should have belonged to Flynn!
At this moment, Layla Woods also walked out the door, and when she saw Vicente Clark’s appearance, unusual emotions stirred in her beautiful eyes. Both the Woods family and the Clark family were prestigious families of Slatin. But Vicente Clark had been in the West Haralu desert, training with a master from the army, while she had been traveling the world with her master, studying medicine. Layla Woods rarely had a chance to see him. It must have been ten years since they last met.
Even then, Vicente Clark had shown prodigious talent and became a Great Grandmaster at sixteen. Looking at him now. He seemed like the ruler of heaven and earth, able to pluck stars from the sky with one hand and suppress everything with the other, truly worthy of being Ostrad’s most promising super talent. Even Layla Woods felt envious. In terms of martial arts, Vicente Clark was absolutely the most terrifying prodigy she had ever seen. The aura Vicente Clark displayed even overshadowed his father Paxton Clark. Truly frightening!
Watching Paxton Clark and his son slowly approaching the Kaur family amid a crowd of admirers, Madeline Kaur felt as if in a dream, continuously drawing in sharp breaths. Madeline Kaur truly had rarely witnessed such a grand spectacle. Even someone like Orion Kennedy, an influential figure of Niarak, could make her tremble. And these two before her now, not to mention Orion Kennedy, even the richest man in Shipmeda State would feel ashamed in their presence!
Madeline Kaur’s gaze kept switching between the father and son. She even ignored the elite power figures behind them. On normal days, the appearance of any one of these people would cause a stir in Niarak. Ten Orion Kennedys couldn’t compare. But today, their presence was completely overshadowed by Paxton Clark and his son. It was like the difference between stars and the sun!
Shocking!
Terrifying!
Incomparable!
Madeline Kaur couldn’t imagine why Flynn, who had the same blood as Paxton Clark flowing in his veins, could be so different from Vicente Clark. They weren’t even from the same world. Compared to Vicente Clark, Flynn was nothing but a loser! One stood at the mountain peak, the other on a small mound, unable to see Vicente Clark’s silhouette even when looking up! This kind of difference could only be described as despair.
Oh, right! Flynn was here too, wasn’t he? How would he feel seeing Vicente Clark? He must want to find a crack in the ground to hide in!
Thinking of this, Madeline Kaur slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Flynn who had just walked out the door…
