Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 41: Need to Add Money

Beheading the one-eyed werewolf and frightening off the dog-headed orc with a shout did not make Charlotte feel excited.

The thick smell of blood in the air churned his stomach, and he couldn't help but lean against the wall and vomit.

He thought that after performing so many surgeries, he had seen all kinds of bloody scenes, and even killing someone shouldn't have triggered such a strong reaction.

But when he beheaded the one-eyed werewolf and saw him being split in half by the sharp sword light, with blood splattering everywhere, he still felt his hair stand on end and shivered all over.

However, Charlotte quickly forced himself to calm down. In the dense fog that couldn't be dispersed all around, countless dangers were lurking. It was not a good place for contemplation.

Taking two steps forward, Charlotte turned back and picked up the wolf-tooth club that had been severed into two pieces from the ground. The wolf-tooth club, as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, weighed over a hundred kilograms.

Iron was valuable in the Abyss. Just one street away was Harry's grocery store, and this wolf-tooth club could be exchanged for a good price.

As he stood up, Charlotte noticed the black pouch hanging from the werewolf's waist. After a slight hesitation, he tore it off and found that it had some weight to it. He put it in his pocket and quickly left the crime scene.

Charlotte walked briskly, keeping close to the wall, and remained alert, scanning his surroundings.

He didn't let the excitement of beheading the one-eyed werewolf get to him. If the one-eyed werewolf had been more cautious, and if the Judgment Sword had been slightly duller, the story might have turned out differently.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting. The trick of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger still had some effect.

The road ahead went much smoother. Ten minutes later, Charlotte arrived at the grocery store, unscathed but with a sense of surprise.

In the store, a middle-aged elf wearing a cloak was bargaining with Harry. Charlotte didn't rush forward but stood to the side, looking at the various magic cores on the shelves.

The middle-aged elf collected a pile of magical materials he had purchased into the ring on his right middle finger and contentedly left.

Charlotte's eyes lit up, unable to help but glance a few more times at the golden gemstone ring.

This was the legendary space ring, a spatial magic item.

It was truly a great item. Several hundred kilograms of things could be stored inside the ring without taking up any space.

"Not bad, right? Do you want to get one? I'll give you a special price, 300,000 copper coins," Harry said with a smile.

"You won't be able to get that much money even if you sell me," Charlotte rolled his eyes and placed the wolf-tooth club hidden under his robe on the counter.

Harry glanced at the wolf-tooth club that had been severed into two pieces and was somewhat surprised. "Hey, not bad. Where did you get this piece of scrap iron?"

"I picked it up on the way here. It should have just ended in a fight; the blood hasn't even dried yet," Charlotte calmly said.

"Well, you've got some luck, kid. To cleanly cut such a thick iron club with a single sword strike, you're either a high-ranking knight or you used a rare-level sword. Someone like that definitely wouldn't care about this broken iron club." Harry weighed the wolf-tooth club with his hand and said, "Five hundred."

"Deal." Charlotte nodded.

Harry grabbed five silver coins and placed them on the counter, pushed up his heavy glasses, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a low voice, "Doctor Charlotte, don't you think it's time to find a place to hide instead of running around selling scrap iron?"

"So, you know someone wants to kill me?" Charlotte was somewhat surprised.

"It seems you're well aware, huh? Yet you still dare to wander around outside."

"Where can someone go if they're targeted by Carol in the Abyss?" Charlotte retorted.

Harry grinned, "Didn't you say your landlady fell in love with you? If you were Diana's husband, even Capas couldn't touch you in the Abyss."

I wish, but is it so easy to live off someone else's money? Charlotte sighed, "Don't tease me. I came to see you today to get some life-saving information."

Harry walked out from behind the counter, closed the door of the grocery store, and returned to the front. He looked at Charlotte and said leisurely, "Besides selling the things on the shelves, my grocery store also sells information. We can consider ourselves old friends, so I'll give you a friendly price."

A greedy merchant through and through! Charlotte twitched the corner of his mouth. He had initially planned to get some information from Harry for free, but this old guy was merciless, demanding money right away. He could only ask, "How much?"

"That depends on how much the information you want is worth," Harry smiled.

After a moment's thought, Charlotte said, "How should I get through the current difficulties?"

"You're asking for advice with that question? You're looking for answers!" Harry rolled his eyes.

Charlotte listened attentively. Instead of buying information one by one from Harry, it might be better to let him advise from his perspective.

With Harry's insight and access to information, he might be able to give him some useful suggestions.

"For this question, I'll charge you a thousand," Harry said seriously.

"Give me five hundred as a deposit," Charlotte pushed the silver coins on the counter towards him. "I'll give you the remaining payment if I'm satisfied with the answer."

Harry took the silver coins from the counter and said, "The fact that you're being chased is an innocent disaster. Didn't I tell you last time that the lord arranged a marriage for Elizabeth? The second son of the Duke of Cromwell, Capas, is here in Karva himself to propose."

I've heard about this part, but I have to pretend not to know. Charlotte asked with a puzzled expression, "What does that have to do with me?"

"It's a big deal. Elizabeth rejected Capas' proposal, and feeling humiliated, Capas thought of you, her former fiance. He thought you were a bad omen, so he wants to kill you," Harry explained.

The arrogance of the powerful is not uncommon in this world of survival of the fittest. Charlotte couldn't help but furrow his brow and said, "Isn't there any justice?!"

"For Capas, this is a basic move. Even in the imperial capital, no one dares to interfere. It's even less pressure for Carol to act in the Abyss," Harry looked at Charlotte and said seriously, "I'll give you some advice. If you want Capas to back off and stop pursuing you, you might have to seek help from Elizabeth."

"Elizabeth?" Charlotte frowned, but he couldn't piece together a clear image from his fragmented memories.

Harry nodded, "The whole thing started because of her. If she agrees to marry Capas and asks him to stop chasing you, then this matter might turn a new page."

Marrying someone like Capas, a scumbag, isn't that pushing a young girl into a pit of fire? Charlotte looked heavy-hearted. "How can I contact her?"

Harry was a bit surprised but quickly raised a thumbs-up, "Not bad, a real man knows how to bend and stretch."

Bullshit about bending and stretching. Charlotte just felt that he didn't need to pity or feel guilty for his former fiance who broke off the engagement when he was in trouble.

This is the classic plot of breaking off the engagement in novels! Shouldn't he rise in power next, slap the shallow woman who broke off the engagement, and reach the peak of life?

"I don't have a way for you to contact her directly," Harry shrugged.

Charlotte: ...

But didn't you say you can do anything?

"But I can pass the message along. If she still has feelings for you, maybe she will come to save you?" Harry added, "But it will cost you extra."
