Agitated and enraged, Kenneth suppressed his emotions and said, “Mom, that old coot is unreliable! He’s a crook!”
Barbara shouted angrily, “I don’t care what you do, but you’d better bring Anthony to Eastcliff on my 84th birthday to check on me and treat my old illnesses. If you don’t, just wait and see!”
People were more selfish as they got older.
The older they were, the more afraid they were of death, wishing to live for as long as they could. Barbara didn’t want to know about the feud between Kenneth and Anthony. All she hoped for was for Anthony to remain as her personal doctor.
With Anthony around, she could probably live until over ninety years old for sure, but without him, she might not even be able to pass this year’s hurdle.
Kenneth was bummed out by his mother’s scornful blame. He wanted to explain himself and complain, but Barbara didn’t want to hear any of it. She ordered her demands and immediately ended the call.
Exasperated, Kenneth vented his anger by smashing the furniture and breaking things in the room. Finally, he picked up his phone to call Anthony, trying to ask for his forgiveness and beg him to continue treating his mother.
However, Anthony’s phone was turned off.
It made Kenneth even more frustrated.
However, he didn’t dare to disobey his mother, so he quickly put on his clothes, went out of the house, and drove to Anthony’s clinic.
The clinic’s door was shut tight when he arrived at the entrance.
Kenneth grit his teeth in agitation when suddenly, he saw two figures walking out of the dark alley not far from him.
One of them was limping and looked quite familiar to him.
Kenneth quickly hid around the corner to observe them closely. As they were approaching him, he saw that it was a man in his fifties with a young man in his twenties walking together.
The young man was leaning on a crutch in one hand and a huge green gasoline drum in the other.
The middle-aged and slightly balding man was supporting the limping young man with one hand and also carrying another green gasoline drum in the other.
Kenneth recognized the young man. He was being kicked out of the clinic when he had come to seek Anthony’s treatment today.
It seemed that the men were attempting to set fire to Anthony’s clinic since Anthony refused his service!
The young man was Jason Grant, the guy that had offended Joe in the hospital and had been thrown out of the window by Don Albert.
The incident had broken his legs, which resulted in his limping. He hated Joe for what had happened to him. He planned to find Anthony to treat his injuries before going after Joe to settle the score, and yet, Anthony didn’t even let him into his clinic!
He returned to the hospital and complained to his father, Justin Grant. Agitated, they had bought two barrels of gasoline and decided to burn Anthony’s clinic down.
They planned to set the Serene World Clinic on fire to teach Anthony a lesson, and then find a way to seek revenge from Joe.
At this moment, Kenneth heard Jason ask Justin, “Dad, do you think the old coot lives in the clinic?”
“How would I know?” Justin said coldly. “Besides, who cares? If he does live inside, it serves him right to be burned to death!
Damn, how dare he be so ignorant to you! Damn it!”
Jason cursed in dismay, “Damn it, the old coot doesn’t even want to help me! Burning him to death is such a cheap lesson for him!”
Jason opened the barrel cap and said, “Dad, I think it’s better to pour the gasoline in through the rolling shutter so that the gasoline is fully spread inside. Then, when we light the fire from outside, the fire will spread around so rapidly that even the cockroaches won’t be spared!”
Justin nodded and snorted, “Good! Let’s burn them to ashes, these sons of bitches!”
Although Justin was not among the successful pioneers in Aurous Hill, he was the city’s number one when it came to spoiling his son rotten.
Their families had only ever had a single male heir for several generations. After giving birth to several daughters, Justin had finally gotten a son, Jason, so he had been pampered and spoiled in every way possible since young.
When Jason had been in elementary school, his teacher had punished him by caning his palm once because he was the troublemaker in class, disrupting the classroom’s order. Justin had then brought some guys to school and had broken the teacher’s right arm, leaving him permanently disabled for life.
When Jason was in junior high school, he fought with a boy at school and was defeated. Justin had then hired someone to create a car accident that rendered the boy into a vegetative state.
There were countless similar incidents like these throughout Jason’s upbringing.
In Justin’s opinion, the only consequence for anyone who bullied his son was death!
Since Anthony didn’t want to treat his son’s broken legs, he should die!
Joe was the cause of his son being in such a miserable state today, thus, he should die!
Hence, he mustered a plan. He would burn Anthony to death today and kill Joe according to his planned scheme tomorrow!
Just as the father and son were about to pour the gasoline out of the barrel, Kenneth worried that they might truly burn Anthony to death, so he jumped out anxiously and shouted, “Hey! Calm down!”
The father and son were shocked by the shout!
They had thought that no one would be around to notice them at night, however, a man had appeared out of nowhere abruptly.
Amidst the surprise, Jason recognized Kenneth and said, “Hey, aren’t you the guy who came to see Anthony today? Why? Are you trying to help him?”
Kenneth waved his hands anxiously and said, “No way! I don’t care if the old dog is alive or dead! That magical pill that he talked about, he takes it around with him all day long. I believe his magical pill can not only heal your legs, but also my disorder. If you guys burn him like this, his magical pill will be destroyed as well!”
Jason gaped in shock!
The guy was right!
Why didn’t he think about it!
Indeed, Anthony had a magical elixir with him that could even cure quadriplegic caused by spinal injuries. The pill would certainly work perfectly on his broken legs.
If he killed him in the fire, he would lose the chance to heal his legs, wouldn’t he?
He was a little hesitant all of a sudden.
Kenneth started again, “Guys, I have an idea. Don’t burn his clinic first. Let’s find a way to kidnap the old dog, snatch the pill from him, and only then, kill him!”
Justin frowned suspiciously. “Huh? Do you have beef with the old dog, too?”
“Of course!” Kenneth growled indignantly, “He is my arch-enemy! I want to kill him too, but first, I must get the magic pill to cure myself!”
Jason said, “In that case, let’s join hands, then. We’ll kidnap the old dog first, force him to hand over the magic pill, and then, we’ll kill him and toss him into the sea!”
“Great!” Kenneth nodded. “If so, let’s exchange contact details. Find a time tomorrow to further discuss the details!”
