Chapter 9 Think it Through

After the black blood drained, Logan's hand moved swiftly like a butterfly, inserting the silver needles into various parts of the old man's body.

In the blink of an eye, the old man was covered in needles like a hedgehog.

Having done all that, Logan sat quietly on the side, waiting.

However, after waiting for an hour, the old man still didn't regain consciousness.

The Thornes began to lose their patience.

"What's going on?

"Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"I can see that he doesn't have any abilities at all, he's just trying to please the crowd."

"Poor old man, he has to suffer even at the end."

"..."

Faced with these conflicting voices, Logan couldn't help but shake his head.

These people really have short memories.

Oliver's face turned pale, and all he could think about were bad things.

If Lord Thorne were to die, House Thorne would be shaken to its core, and who knows what kind of chaos would ensue.

Only Macus stood on the side, wearing a sinister smile.

As soon as the old man dies, he is prepared to completely break away from the family and fight for the inheritance with the eldest son.

"Why are you all making such a fuss! I'm alive and well!"

"Old man..."

All the Thornes gasped in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

It turned out that Lord Thorne had woken up at some point and sat up.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, you can't do anything right, but you're all so eager for me to die."

Lord Thorne's voice was thunderous as he launched into a tirade.

He seemed full of vigor and definitely did not look like someone who had been bedridden for years.

"You're amazing, Mr. D, truly a genius!"

Ramens, who was nearby, widened his eyes and couldn't hide his excitement.

"Old man, you just woke up, you need to rest now."

"In an hour, I will remove these silver needles."

"After that, as long as you receive treatment for another half a month, your body will fully recover."

Logan reminded him before helping Lord Thorne lie back down.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. D. You saved my father's life."

"I will prepare ten million immediately and transfer it to your account as a consultation fee."

Oliver bowed to Logan, genuinely grateful.

"I saved him because I promised you before, not because I covet House Thorne's wealth."

"Now that Lord Thorne has recovered, I should be on my way."

Logan came to House Thorne just to fulfill his previous promise.

As for Oliver's promise, he didn't take it to heart.

Just then, Lord Thorne, lying on the sickbed, spoke up.

"Sir Logan, please stay."

"I, Leo Thorne, have never liked owing anyone a favor, especially not to someone who saved my life."

"Giving money is too commonplace. How about I gift Dragonhide Villa, which is under my name, to Logan?"

"Logan, don't rush to refuse. Dragonhide Villa is worth billions, and more importantly, it is the focal point of Dragonhide Mountain's energy, a true feng shui treasure."

Recently recovered from a serious illness, Leo Thorne was afraid that Logan would decline, so he threw out a bombshell.

Logan flashed his gaze, his interest piqued.

"Old man, I think you're confused."

"This Dragonhide Villa is worth billions, how can it be given to an unknown outsider?"

Before Logan could agree, Marcus impatiently interrupted.

"Marcus, what do you mean by this? Am I not able to speak now?"

Although Leo Thorne appeared weak, his eyes remained sharp.

Under the intense gaze of the old man, Marcus felt an invisible pressure.

"Dad, I won't stop you from repaying a debt."

"But Dragonhide Villa is the eye of the earth's veins, it must not be given away."

"Back then, I had to leverage my connections with Commando to secure this villa."

"Now you're saying we'll just give it away, isn't that disrespecting Commando?"

"Furthermore, this Logan bastard is just an ordinary physician, what qualifications does he have to receive a gift from House Thorne?"

Marcus's face was full of resentment and unwillingness.

Although Dragonhide Villa was under the name of the old man, Marcus had always considered it his own property.

If the old man really gave it to Logan, it would be like cutting a chunk of flesh from him.

Moreover, it was a valuable chunk worth billions.

"Foolish! Logan is a remarkable figure, how can you estimate his worth?"

"He saved my life, it's just a villa, let it be."

"Don't meddle in this matter, if Commando wants to blame me, I will explain it myself."

Leo Thorne's attitude was resolute.

"But..."

Before Marcus could speak, Leo Thorne interrupted him directly, "Marcus, stop causing trouble, stay in your room and reflect."

Being scolded in public, Marcus's face turned red.

He stared at Logan tightly and muttered through gritted teeth, "We'll see!"

Then, he snorted coldly and left, brushing his sleeve.

"Logan, please don't mind. Marcus is used to being spoiled at home, so don't take his words seriously," Leo Thorne sighed.

Logan had a nonchalant expression, "It's fine, I'll just consider it as a dog barking."

"Um..."

Even someone as skilled in diplomacy as Leo Thorne couldn't help but be at a loss for words.

The atmosphere became awkward.

"Mr. D, I've prepared a dinner at Gourmet Enclave, why don't we move there and have a pleasant conversation?" Oliver spoke up at the right time.

"Mr. D, let's eat and chat at the same time."

Ramens also tried to please, "I have many medical questions to ask you, Mr. D."

After witnessing Logan's incredible medical skills, Ramens was eager to seek guidance.

Ens is completely convinced.

If he could learn even a bit of medical skills from him, it would be of great benefit to himself.

"No need for dinner." Logan shook his head.

He had no interest in such socializing at all.

"To express our gratitude from House Thorne, I sincerely hope Mr. D doesn't decline," Oliver said earnestly. "Otherwise, I'm afraid House Thorne will be criticized for our lack of courtesy."

"Well... fine. But we're just having dinner, nothing more." Logan reluctantly agreed.

Oliver breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Mr. D, please."

"Wait a moment, I'll go after finishing removing the needle for the old man, it's not too late." Logan shook his head.

...

At this moment, Hazel walked out of the House Tarro villa at the foot of Flamerise Mountain.

Excitement filled her fair and jade-like face.

Just now, her exquisite real estate development company under her name and the Tarro Group reached a verbal agreement.

As long as this cooperation contract is successfully signed, she will become a partner of House Tarro.

It is even rumored that due to the massive investment of tens of billions in the overall project, House Tarro's headquarters in Veridonia will send people over.

"Perhaps relying on House Tarro is the right path for me." Hazel's face was full of excitement.

Thinking of the invitation from the young master of House Tarro earlier, she took out her phone and dialed Emma's number.

"Cousin, help me reserve a spot on the top floor of Gourmet Enclave."

"I want to invite Master Tarro to dinner. I must win this project before my competitors!"

On the other end of the phone, Emma smiled with satisfaction.

"Hazel, you finally understand!"

"I've said it before, Master Tarro is a hundred times better than the useless Logan. Choosing him is absolutely right!"
