Chapter 238


    Everyone was soon settled into their rooms.At ten in the morning, the 18th Cleapolis Medical Forum


    officially started.There was not a lot nned for the morning.As usual, after the host made the opening


    speech, they introduced the experts present and the topics that would be discussed in the next three


    days.At half past eleven, they dispersed for their lunch buffet.After taking a simple meal for herself,


    Alice said to Kingsley, “We have two hours for our lunch break. Let’s explore the foot of Mount


    Crowler.”It just so happened that Kingsley was interested in exploring as well. Hence, the two of them


    departed toward the mountain.Just as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw several


    muscr men dressed in ck suits walking over. The group of men had fierce looks on their faces.“B-


    Boss?”The man who spoke was Wendell, the right-hand man of Baron.At the sight of Kingsley, the


    hostility in Wendell’s expression melted away. “Why are you here, boss?”“I was about to ask you that.


    Why are you here?” Kingsley wondered. “Jadnd Heights has been booked out, right? How did you


    get in?”“I know the security guard captain here. He let us in,” Wendell answered with an awkward


    chuckle.“We got a job here. Tonight, we are to kill someone in Mount Crowler, so we came to scout out


    the area.”“Who are you killing?” A look shed in Kingsley’s eyes.“We don’t know yet. The guy said he


    would be bringing the target into the mountains. We just need to kill him.”Wendell did not dare lie to


    Kingsley. “However, from the way he spoke, I think they would be having their way with Dr. Kramer


    after luring the target away…”When Alice heard that, her face twisted with realization. “Dr.


    Kramer?”Wendell nced at her before saying, in an attempt at ttery, “You are… his wife?”“She is


    my sister,” Kingsley answered with a frown. “You can also call her Dr. Kramer.”Wendell was at a loss for


    words.Suddenly, all the blood fled from his face.It took a while before Wendell could stammer out, “D-


    Dr. Kramer? That brat wants your sister! That means the person he wants dead is…”At that, he


    suddenly stopped speaking. Seeing the icy look in Kingsley’s eyes made Wendell’s heart sink.Why was


    he so cursed?How could a simple job result in going up against this invincible man?Afraid that Kingsley


    would be mad at him, he hurriedly exined,“Boss, I did not know he wanted to kill you! If I had known,


    I would never have dared to ept the job!”He quickly shuffled away. “We will go right now!This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Immediately!”“Wait.”Kingsley narrowed his eyes. “Since he’s going to kill me, I would never let him walk


    free so easily.”“You mean to say…”“Give him a taste of his own medicine.”Ten minutester.The two


    men were done hashing out their n.With the new revtion, Alice was no longer in the mood for


    sightseeing. Hence, she and Kingsley went back to their rooms.At half past one, everyone gathered in


    thergest conference room in Jadnd Heights for the first discussion of the event.To everyone’s


    surprise, the first to speak was Director Wayne of Cleapolis’s Health Bureau.Dn walked up on stage


    and cleared his throat.“Our first topic of the year is the treatment ofatose patients,” he said with a


    smile. “Which is more effective; modern medicine or traditional medicine?”Everyone looked at each


    other. No one spoke.For a moment, there was an awkward silence in the hall.After a few long


    moments, Scott finally spoke up. “Director Wayne, I do not believe such a topic is officially listed for this


    year’s discussions. Moreover, there is no meaning inparing traditional medicine with modern


    medicine!”“I disagree with that view,” protested an old man in a suit.“My specialty is researching


    prolonged disorders of consciousness caused by trauma to the brain, also known as the vegetative


    state.I can tell you with utmost confidence that modern medicine is at an undeniable advantage when it


    comes to the treatment and care of such patients. Traditional medicine cannotpare!”The doctor


    who spoke was Liam yton, a man in his sixties who was equally as renowned and experienced as


    Scott.For most of his life, he worked in Mittera. It was only in the past years that he had been invited


    back to work in the local hospitals.As someone who used to be a permanent resident of Mittera, he


    looked down on everything that came from the Empire of Qustia, including their traditional medicine


    skills.
