“It seemed that he had been in a car ident. Grandpa ine initially refused to ept this<b>, </b>asserting that this man must have been harmed by some viins. However, without any evidence, the man’s family couldn’t ept it either. They took him to arge <b>hospital </b>for an examination, and the results confirmed that he indeed had been in a car ident.”
Rhizone’s voice was filled with dejection. He was still young, but he had already heard the adults discussing these matters, and they sounded utterly disappointed.
“Later on, their family moved away, seemingly to seek medical treatment for their eldest son. After witnessing his predicament, the others didn’t dare to cause any more trouble. Now, whenever they showed up, everyone would avoid them, only returning once they had left.”
“Right now, the vige is filled with the elderly and the weak. Everyone’s actions are driven by the fear of their children getting hurt.” Lysander said, her voice soft with concern. She was afraid that exposing him to the harsh realities too soon would lead to his disillusionment with the world.
Josiah, on the other hand, reassured, “I believe in karma. They will soon face their consequences.”
With a mix of skepticism and curiosity, Rhizone questioned, “There’s no such thing as karma. They’ve been doing wrong <b>not </b>just for a day or two, yet who <b>knows </b>when theireuppance will arrive.”
“It’ll be here <b>soon</b>.”“”
Rhizone didn’t utter another word. He just silently led the way for them, clearly showing that he had be disheartened.
When he spotted a vige not too far away, he raised his hand, pointing down the road ahead. “If we go around from that side, we’ll be able to see the health center.”
Their destination was not far off now,
Just as the trio spotted the light of hope, preparing to head back to charge their phones and call the police, a group of unruly youths had already started to approach from the only path they could take.
They practically looked like thugs.
Rhizone’s face drained of all color in fear when he saw them, and he halted in ce. It was just like before when someone had stormed into his home causing chaos, leaving his parents to work tirelessly day and night to make ends meet.
Josiah took a step forward, positioning himself in front of Rhizone, shielding him from whaty ahead.
Sensing that something was off, Lysander slipped out of his embrace without <b>a </b>word, swiftly putting on her shoes. She was determined to stand by his side, ready to face these people together.
She was the vige doctor now, far more entitled to reprimand others. Josiah <b>was </b>nothing more <b>than </b><b>an</b>

A momentter, the leader of the gang rudely pointed at Josiah and said, “That car by theke is yours, isn’t it? You’re dressed decently and you can afford such a nice car. You must not be short ofwyer fees, <b>Get </b>lost.”
It seemed that he had mistaken <b>Josiah </b>for awyer that the vigers had hired from outside. After driving <b>him </b>away, he cursed loudly.
“These folks really have a short memory. Mr. Lanister was kind enough to offer them a chance to relocate, yet they have the audacity to bring <b>in </b>reinforcements from outside. It seems we must make an example out of one to warn the others!”
Josiah showed absolutely no intention of leaving. He simply observed them with an expressionless face, his gaze as cold <b>as </b>if he were looking at a group of human trash.
The gang leader red at his audacious behavior, pointing a finger at him as he continued to berate, “So you’re disregarding my goodwill, huh? Fine, this time I’ll make an example out of you to show <b>this </b>bunch
He had barely gotten halfway through his speech <b>when </b>his fist, aimed at Josiah, was abruptly caught mid- air. His wrist was twisted at an awkward angle, and before he knew what was happening, he found himself thrown off bnce and sent sprawling.
If it <b>weren’t </b>for the rtive softness of the vige’s dirt road, he would have been seriously injured from the fall.
The remaining thugs, witnessing their leader at a disadvantage, were all stunned on the spot. Not one of them reacted in time to lend a hand.
Taking advantage of the moment, <b>Josiah </b>turned to Rhizone behind him and said, “<b>Rhizone</b><b>, </b>you Thorne back to the health center first. Hurry!”
“What about you!?”
“I’m Josiah Guerra. Who would dare to challenge me?”
take Dr.
Faced with such a crowd of thugs, it was untrue to say that Rhizone wasn’t scared. However, he kept in mind what Lysander had told him to do. He was ready to grab Lysander and run.
Naturally, Lysander couldn’t just leave Josiah behind. She grabbed him and said, “These people are all thugs. They aren’t from Riveron Corporation, and they probably don’t even know you. Let’s go together.”
The gang leader had taken quite a fall, but with his reputation at stake in front of his underlings, he was sure to retaliate. Even if Josiah was highly skilled, he was inevitalily outnumbered.
Lysander didn’t want to waste time in a tug of war, so she dragged hini toward the thickest part of the nearby shrubbery. Seeing them trying to run, the gang leader got up. Unable to contain his anger, he shouted, “What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and <b>chase </b>them. Mr. Lanister has already paid!”
Rhizone was familiar with the path here. He took Lysander’s hand and, with a burst of energy, ran far away. He was small in stature, almost concealed by the reeds and unidentified wild grasses up to his head,
he ran steadily, not straying from the path even <b>half </b><b>a </b>step.

Josiah could hardly recall thest time Lysander had taken the initiative to hold his hand. He held her slightly cool fingertips, almost reluctant to let go.

Despite their efforts, the thugs pursuing them were closing in relentlessly. A few of them had stumbled <b>and </b>fallen due to the winding paths, but there were still a significant number hot on their heels.
Josiah paused in his steps.
Lysander urgently said, “Why have you stopped? Let’s go!”
Josiah gave a soft chuckle. “Lysander, didn’t you mention before that you’ve never actually seen what 1 used to look like?”
Lysander was suddenly a bit <b>scared</b>. “What are you nning to do?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve flexed my skills. It’s about time to get some practice.”
As he spoke, he gently nudged her forward. Then he called out to Rhizone, who was running ahead, “Rhizone, Dr. Thome’s safety is in your hands now!”
Almost instinctively, Rhizone turned around, <b>his </b>face filled with panic. But in a split second, it transformed into determination. He firmly grasped onto Lysander’s arm.
Time was of the essence, so Josiah didn’t have the luxury to borate. Hastily, he said, “I’m entrusting this task to you,” before he turned and sprinted off in a different direction.
As he turned to his side, he saw Rhizone nod solemnly.
Half of Lysander’s face <b>was </b>obscured by her loose hair strands. Only her eyes, brighter <b>than </b>the: above, <b>were </b>visible. “You-

Josiah pushed her with just the right amount of force. It was enough to speed her toward <b>Rhizone</b>, yet not so much that she would fall.
By the time she steadied herself, Rhizone had already taken hold of her.
“Josiah<b>…</b>
“Dr. Thorne, let’s go back and find someone <b>to </b>save Josiah!”
Once Rhizone finished <b>speaking</b>, he grabbed Lysander’s hand and started running at top speed. The force. with which he held her <b>was </b><b>so </b>strong that it was impossible for her to break free.
The child’s physical condition was truly exceptional. <b>Previously</b>, he had only been holding back his pace. out of concern that the adults wouldn’t be able to keep up.
Lysander had lost her shoes in the earlier chaos. Now she was treading on the rugged, muddy ground in her socks. Her steps became increasingly erratic, but she didn’t show it. She merely gritted her teeth and tried to keep up with Rhizone’s <b>pace</b>.
Rhizone was right. They had to go back and get help for Josiah. Otherwise, the two of them would just be a burden if they stayed.
