Robin was resting in a lounge, personally attended by Abner Wilson.
Four hours later, the door opened and the old doctor walked in. Upon entering, he immediately knelt on the ground, “I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. Please punish me as you see fit, I will accept it all.” He kowtowed and admitted his wrongs.
However, Robin had no interest in holding it against him. He simply followed Abner Wilson and walked out. But the old man did not get up from kneeling.
The young master had said to kneel until the person was satisfied, if not satisfied then keep kneeling.
Soon after, Robin arrived at the top floor office. Elijah Wilson was still in the same position as before, but unlike his previous cold and stern expression, Elijah Wilson now had an expression of ecstasy, stroking his own feet.
Like a pervert.
But it was understandable.
After all, it had been over ten years since he had any feeling in his legs. Now that he had regained sensation, of course he would be overjoyed.
“I can feel it, I think I can stand up,” Elijah Wilson said joyfully.
Robin walked over, pulled out the needles one by one, then raised his hand, “You can stand up now.”
Elijah Wilson tried hard, and gradually he really stood up. In the end, he straightened his body and looked at the sky outside. He had never felt the sky was so beautiful before.
It was captivating.
For a full ten minutes, Elijah Wilson indulged in the recovery of his legs, greedily breathing the air of the world. Finally, he turned his head to look at Robin, “You healed me this time, I am very grateful to you. What do you want – power, status, money, women? Just say it and I can satisfy you.”
At this moment, he was the aloof crown prince of the Wilson family.
However, he did not know that the person in front of him would make the entire Wilson family tremble.
The Wilson family was also a prominent clan, on par with the Harding family, with deep heritage. But even the Harding family was now on the run from Robin, not even daring to show their faces. If Dylan Harding knew about Elijah Wilson’s attitude in front of Robin, he would surely think Elijah Wilson was insane.
What was a Wilson family crown prince in front of Robin?
More importantly, Robin actually had no medical skills. But his prowess as a grandmaster could not be matched – there were few grandmasters of his caliber in the entire country, and the Wilson family did not have the standing to ask a grandmaster to personally provide treatment.
Grandmasters were either hidden elders of ancient families behind closed doors, or only Kisia Primus in the military.
How could his Wilson family request that?
If the Wilson family knew Robin had personally treated Elijah Wilson, they would be singing his praises, thinking Elijah Wilson had great fortune.
However, Robin was keeping a low profile currently, and did not get angry. He simply signaled the two people next to him with his eyes.
“Go out.”
Elijah Wilson immediately understood and told the two directly.
“Young master, if I leave, your safety…”
Abner Wilson was somewhat hesitant.
“Go out. If he wanted to harm me, he would have already. He wouldn’t have healed my legs until now. Go out.” Elijah Wilson scolded.
“Yes.”
Only then did Abner Wilson slowly withdraw.
“My subordinate does not understand etiquette. Grandmaster, please do not blame him. There is no surveillance in my office, and no one dares to eavesdrop. Whatever the grandmaster says will remain in my heart and not spread outside.” Elijah Wilson said slowly.
He was clever, understanding why the two were asked to leave – either it was something that could not come to light, or it was a major issue.
In either case, it should not be leaked.
“Very good, you live up to Dylan Harding’s introduction.”
Robin said lightly.
“Dylan Harding.”
Now Elijah Wilson understood how his private phone number had gotten to Robin – it was given by Dylan Harding. In his heart, he remembered Dylan Harding’s favor.
“Well then, grandmaster, what do you ask of me?”
“I need the whereabouts of the Harding family.”
Robin said with folded arms.
Instantly, the office fell silent.
Elijah Wilson also understood why Robin had dismissed the two – the Harding family was a taboo in present-day Kisia, because they had been a prominent clan in Kisia but were now shunned for betrayal.
That’s right.
Not to be mentioned.
The Harding family in Kisia involved too many vested interests.
Even the Wilson family had deep ties with the Harding family.
However, after a minute of silence, Elijah Wilson looked up and said, “House Azalea in West City – that is a Harding family property in North Coast. Other than that, I truly do not know more. This Harding family is hidden too deeply. I’ve been in North Coast for nearly seventeen years, controlling most of the North Coast, yet I’ve only uncovered this much. If you follow the lead from House Azalea, you may find more. I cannot make a move – the Harding family’s involvement with the Wilson family is too great.”
“That’s enough, this favor has been repaid.” Robin said.
With a lead, the next steps would be easier.
“If you encounter anything in North Coast, just mention my name and I can ensure your safety.” Elijah Wilson added.
Robin felt the debt was cleared.
But Elijah did not feel the same.
These legs had kept him silent for over twenty years, exiled here in North Coast. Even becoming the underground overlord of North Coast, how could that compare? He could not stand up until today.
Now, he could stand up. Although it was information about the Harding family that he could not act on, in North Coast he would protect this Robin.
It was the only thing he could do.
“Alright.”
Robin agreed. This Elijah Wilson, able to associate with Dylan Harding, was no ordinary man. If the Beckett family were kings in North Coast, then Elijah Wilson was the retired emperor. In North Coast, his word was law.
Abner Wilson personally escorted Robin out.
“Young master.” That doctor was still kneeling there. Robin had ignored him from start to finish, but he was still part of the Wilson family. In the end, he came before Elijah Wilson.
“Go reflect for a few years. I don’t even want to see you now.” Elijah Wilson said coldly.
“Yes.” The doctor felt relieved. The young master still considered their history – he had not told him to get lost directly, only to reflect. As long as he performed well, there was still a chance to return.
After the doctor left, Elijah Wilson stood before that massive floor-to-ceiling window, gaze narrowing greedily as he looked at the view: “I’ve slept for too long. Of the original Four Geniuses of Gerenuk, only I remain, imprisoned in this tiny North Coast. Now that my legs have recovered, it’s time I took some things back. And that man just now…”
Thinking of Robin, a hint of wariness flashed in Elijah Wilson’s eyes.
He had intended to recruit Robin, since medical skills of such miraculous level would certainly be greatly useful for his future endeavors. But he realized that when the Harding family was mentioned, that man had no reverence or even caution in his eyes.
So either he was arrogant and unafraid of the Harding family, or he truly did not fear them.
