Doctor Player Chapter 35
The next day, Raymond grilled and ate meat to commemorate his big fortune.
“Eat a lot of Hanson.”
“Your senior. I will eat hard to build up my immunity.”
By the way, Hanson seemed to still believe Raymond’s earlier lie.
‘…Well, it’s not wrong to say that meat boosts immunity.’
Anyway, meat is always right.
It was delicious any time.
‘eww. Juicy. i love it. Nice to be a therapist.’
It was the moment to eat freshly grilled sirloin peacefully with salt.
Suddenly a dark storm came.
“Are you inside?!”
“Open the door!”
A savage voice slammed the door of the treatment room.
“senior?”
“what?”
Sigh.
Opening the door, Raymond widened his eyes.
Men with rough impressions were making stern faces.
There were too many numbers.
There seemed to be almost 10 people.
‘The Darkside Guild? why?’
Raymond’s body stiffened.
It didn’t seem like he had come because he was sick.
All the men were glaring at Raymond fiercely. As if they were going to beat him up right away.
“What’s going on?”
Raymond gulped and asked cautiously.
“Are you Raymond?”
“…yes it is What did you come for?”
Raymond shook his head desperately.
‘Is there anything wrong with my treatment? Why are you doing that?’
My timid instinct surged up and my heart shrank like a mouse.
But then it was!
Ha ha, a hearty laugh spread from the back of the gang. It was a pleasant laugh that did not match the situation.
“Guys, doesn’t Sir Raymond get scared when you talk like that? Please forgive the rudeness. My name is Toms, I run a small business in Langtram.”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
Toms!
‘The tyrant of the entertainment district!’
He was the master of the ‘Dark Blade Guild’, the most powerful and vicious of the underworld guilds in the Bay Area!
In effect, he is the tyrant who rules the night of the entertainment district.
“Is there a problem?”
“I have come to tell you something. Can I go inside for a minute?”
Whose word would you say no to?
The gang rushed inside, and a heavy air settled in the treatment center.
“You were eating.”
“yes yes.”
A sneer passed through Toms’ eyes.
“It’s meat that dogs would eat. You are a good person, but you have to eat poorly to use it? Take this bad quality meat and throw it away.”
It wasn’t just words.
I snapped my fingers like a joke and the plate broke with a loud sound.
Clink!
The meat was messed up with the debris, but Raymond didn’t say a word.
It is completely frozen.
‘What is it? Why are you doing this to me all of a sudden?’
I couldn’t quite figure out why.
It was a crisis anyway.
Toms is the Bay District’s toughest tyrant.
Whatever the reason, if he pressed his finger, Raymond wouldn’t be able to resist and would be crushed like an insect.
Raymond’s head went white with fear and he thought nothing of it.
Then a message popped up.
[Scoundrels have invaded the treatment center!]
[‘Heart of Steel’ manifests!]
[Confirmed that the opponent is ‘truthful’!]
[Confirmed that the opponent’s truthfulness is ‘very high’!]
[‘Truthfulness’ The ‘coping method’ is activated!]
The two skills were activated, and Raymond suddenly came to his senses.
‘I can’t just tremble like this!’
The underworld gang has a habit of becoming more cruel to the weak.
I don’t know why he behaves like this, but he had to show a firm appearance.
Raymond gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.
“What are you here for? If you are here because you are unwell, please let us know. I will treat you.”
thump. thump.
His heart was racing, but Raymond didn’t look away.
“Hmm.”
When Toms saw Raymond like that, a strangeness appeared in Toms’ eyes, and then it disappeared.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something. I’m here just to say hello to the therapist. I hear you’re doing a lot for our Bay Area.”
“….”
“It’s not enough, but I also brought a case of gratitude. Guys.”
One of the gang handed over the pouch, to Raymond’s surprise.
It was a gold coin!
A whopping 1,000 pena worth of gold coins!
“…Why this money?”
“We represent the Bay Area. Think of it as a small thank you.”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
There was absolutely no way that was the intention.
“Please be honest.”
“Hmm.”
“Otherwise, I will refuse this money.”
Toms gave a strange laugh and then got to the point.
“I understand when you say so. I’ll be honest too. I have come to ask you something.”
“What is?”
“Please refrain from treating those who are hostile to our Dark Blade Guild in the future.”
“…!”
Raymond rolled his eyes in surprise.
“I don’t care what the therapist does in the Bay Area. Instead, do not heal the ones we have touched.”
Toms said, still smiling, but in a cool tone.
“To be honest, I don’t know how much trouble I’ve had with my therapist lately. I’ve been looking at my hands, but I’ve been treating my chin chin. Wouldn’t that make our position difficult?”
Toms left a final grim warning.
“If you have a promising future and want to continue working as a therapist, you’d better take my word for it.”
“…!”
“It’s not even my job to destroy one of you by faking an accident of injustice. Don’t think that being the king’s illegitimate son in this Bay District will protect you.”
Toms grinned, showing his teeth.
“Then let’s go. I hope we can meet again with a smile next time.”
After Toms disappeared, Raymond had no choice but to stand still for a long time.
* * *
After Toms left, Raymond was anxious.
‘What do we do?’
The meaning of Tom’s words was clear.
If you don’t follow the warning, you will be banned from being a healer.
It wasn’t just words.
Because he was the worst villain in the Bay Area.
Not one or two of them were killed or crippled by him.
will surely retaliate.
‘Would it be helpful if I learned self-defense skills?’
Suddenly, I remembered a message I had heard before.
[Self-defense skill]
Doctors who work in harsh environments often face threats to their safety. It is a skill to protect yourself and the patient at that time.
You can learn it only when your stamina stat is 15 or higher.
But he soon shook his head.
‘I don’t have enough stamina stats.’
For reference, his stats are currently:
[Stats]
Stamina: 13
Sense: 20
Intellect: 18
Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough.
Even if he learned the skill, there was little chance he would work for Toms.
‘Toms is a knight. That’s the strongest mana user of the highest level.’
There was a reason Toms conquered the slums.
He was a powerful mana user class knight.
For reference, the skill of a knight is usually divided into five levels.
-satellite.
– Full article.
– Mana user.
-Sword Expert.
– Sword Master.
Being an official knight is powerful, but a mana user.
Moreover, Toms was not a normal mana user, but a top-notch mana user. It’s almost an expert level.
There was no way that he, a healer, would be able to deal with him just by learning self-defense skills.
‘That’s why I can’t treat patients.’
Raymond tore his hair out.
Then a message popped up.
[Quest happens!]
[Overcome unreasonable pressure!]
(Ninjutsu quest)
Priority: Small Doctor Level
Difficulty: Har
Quest Description: You are under undue pressure to treat patients. However, it is impossible for a therapist to turn away from a patient. Overcome injustice.
Clear condition: Patient treatment without succumbing to pressure
Reward: 10 bonus level up skill points
Note: Additional ‘Hidden Bonus’ reward when completing the quest ‘
Damn it! Overcome undue pressure? It’s easy to say. If you do, you never know what it will be like! Are you telling me to just die!’
Raymond was outraged by the contents of the quest.
I didn’t know what the hidden bonus was, but that wasn’t important right now.
Because it’s a matter of life.
‘Ahhh. It’s just my dream to enjoy wealth and fame, so why don’t you just leave me alone?’
There was absolutely no answer.
It’s a new feeling, but it was really hard to be a therapist.
Fortunately, however, patients who had been sacrificed to the Dark Blade Guild did not come for a while.
but after a few days
The moment of fate has arrived.
A patient who was killed by the Dark Blades was brought in.
He was seriously injured and would die if he did not receive first aid immediately.
* * *
Boom! bang!
“Healer! Healer!”
Someone urgently knocked on the door of the treatment center.
Seeing as if an urgent patient had arrived, Raymond hurriedly opened the door.
“Is there a problem?”
“Here is a fallen patient!”
Raymond’s face hardened.
The patient had bluish bruises all over his body.
It was clear that he had been hit hard by someone.
‘if?’
A feeling of uneasiness passed by.
indeed.
“I was beaten by the Dark Blades! How ruthless to those who did not pay the installments on time! big.”
The guardian cried and said.
‘These devilish bastards.’
Raymond clenched his fists tightly.
Actually, this wasn’t the first time this had happened.
They were brutal tyrants of the entertainment district and used to wield ruthless violence against the helpless poor.
Even if they were gone, the slums would be a much better place to live.
“Please save me, therapist!”
Raymond looked at the patient with a hard face.
The whole body was stained with bruises, but the most serious was the chest area.
His ribs were broken and he was stabbing his lungs.
‘What the hell?’
‘If you want to continue working as a therapist, you’d better take my word for it.’
I remembered the warning Toms had left.
You will definitely get your revenge.
Then the patient gasped for breath.
“haha. gagging.”
It was clear that he would soon die of respiratory distress.
‘Shit! I don’t know!’
Raymond gritted his teeth.
“Hanson, move the patient inside.”
“senior?”
“I don’t know. damn. Think about the next day first. There must be a way.”
I couldn’t pretend I didn’t see the patient dying right in front of my eyes.
After placing the patient on the bed, the condition was closely examined.
Tung. Tung.
Raymond tapped his lungs with his fingers.
It was percussion, which guesses the condition of the lungs through internal sounds.
‘The sound is dull. It must be full of blood inside. I have to get the blood drawn quickly!’
“Bring me the Hanson knife and the lake!”
“Your senior!”
Hanson brought the tools, and after anesthesia and disinfection, Raymond made an incision under the chest wall.
[Skill: Sergeant’s hand movements are manifested!]
[Sensory level temporarily rises!]
Black and red blood poured out.
