Chapter 946 - Strange Scenario

Cain clenched his fist and bowed his head slightly as if firming his decision even more.

There was no other way. He would have to join the 'Supreme Brotherhood' as a lackey.

It may seem resulting, but he honestly had no way out now.

One should know that even Alec had joined the Morg Brotherhood decades ago.

It was solely because of them that Alec could control the entire empire within a short period of time.

Of course, Alec joined as a member.

But for him, he had been sent an innovation a while back, asking him to join as a lackey.

That's right.

They didn't think he was qualified to be a member.

But what exactly was this Supreme Brotherhood?

To put it simply, it was an organization formed chiefly by the Monarchs and powerful men within Morgany.

Of course, they also invited people from Veinitta, and occasionally, Pyno.

But, except for the monarchs and a few powerful men, most people from the Pyno continent were invited to be lackeys.

Nonetheless, even as lackeys, the protection they got was still incredible!

That was just what he needed if he wanted to take over the entire Western region in a short time.

And after he established it as a new empire, maybe his status would change from Lackey to member.

Baron Cain's eyes burned excitedly as he darted his eyes through the invitation.

He truly regretted not accepting it earlier on.

Luckily, the time given to him for accordance or denial was still On.

He received this invitation last year around this time.

He was told that sometime this upcoming November, someone would visit Arcadina and would be staying within one of the towns within the central part, just 4 cities and a few towns and villages away from him.

This could be his chance!

If he could get there in November and give his reply, then he might be able to make use of that person to clean out Profus city.

In this way, he would make those watching him from the shadows scared off, buying him and time to continue with his plans.

Yes.

He would use that person to take control of Profus city once again.

And once the person went back and gave his request, it wouldn't be long before he got reinforcements to assist him.

Cain smiled broadly and left his balcony.

With Alec dead, it was his time to shine.

And so, just like that, William of Arcadina had his hands full yet again.

.

Time flowed quickly, leaving some in glee while others felt a deep sense of pain instead

In a blink of an eye, 2 weeks had already gone by.

And Back in Baymard, Landon was still as busy as a bee.

A new case had turned up within the hospital that many had never treated before.

What sort of situation was this?

Many were utterly baffled and didn't know what to do.

They didn't want to misdiagnose the patient or worsen the illness.

So per usual, in cases like this, they contacted Landon first.

After all, he was the father of medicine in their eyes.

Bam!

An office door was opened, and out came Landon, all suited up in his doctor's coat.

And beside him were several doctors who followed very closely.

"Patient's name is Andrew McLouth. An overweight 43 years old Noble with 2 wives and 5 children.

He was on his way to Baymard via Arcadina when he suddenly felt excruciating pain after visiting Melbo City.

Patient said one day, he woke up from sleep feeling like his big toe was on fire.

And even the weight of his blanket felt painful over his toe.

Patient says after the attack, he rolled in constant trauma for the next 10 hours.

During that time, the patient felt very worn out and also had a high fever.

And after that, the pain seemed to lessen a bit but continued for 8 days.

As of now, the patient says the pain comes and goes on its own."

"Hmmm. Patient described the pain as having his bones within his toes permanently broken while thousands of bees attack it nonstop.

Patient also says that while the pain continued, his big toe also swelled up too."

"Due to the swelling, the Patient says that he can't wear any shoes on that particular leg, as the pain seemed too antagonizing."

.

As they walked, Landon listened and nodded to all the doctors who were giving info about the situation: "How would you describe the swell?"

"I'd say overly swollen as compared to the typical swells we see. Very tender and red."

"We also spotted a few tiny white deposits formed around the swells."

"Hmmm... And where exactly is the swell on the big toe?"

"It falls on the lower part of the patient's big toe., specifically on the joints between the metatarsal bones of the foot and the Proximal bones of the toe."

Landon fell deep in thought while listening.

No doubt about it, the joints there were swollen.

"Any other joints swollen or affected since the patient's attack?"

"Yes, Doctor Landon.

The patient said that after his big toe swelled up, his ankles, knees, wrists and elbows swelled up too.

From what I've seen, the swells aren't as big as that from his big toe.

Nonetheless, they were still overly swelled when compared to regular swells.

If I may be so bold, they look like someone had taken irregular-shaped stones and taped them over these body parts, making them look exaggeratedly out of the ordinary.

They look extremely painful." Doctor Milla added, and everyone else nodded too.

Indeed, it looked excruciating.

.

As they walked through the busy hallways all wearing white coats, Landon looked at his watch and seeded up a bit.

"Any allergies?"

"None with food. But allergic to cat fur."

"Any medications given?"

"Only Ibuprofen. To decrease the pain and swelling."

"Good call."

Everyone actively sighed from relief when they heard Landon's praise.

Luckily, they made the right call.

But they were far from happy. Something else had been troubling them this entire time.

"Doctor Landon, surprisingly, the patient doesn't want us to treat the illness.

He only wants us to take the pain away."

Eh?

Landon froze in disbelief.

He didn't want permanent treatment?
