Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 86: Paying Extra

Charlotte had no idea what this woman was constantly thinking about, but when it came to this serious accusation about his sexual orientation, he had to give a firm response.

"How is that possible? He was just healing me," Charlotte raised his chin slightly, "Look, my injuries have already healed."

"The healing effects of dual cultivation are that significant?" Diana was greatly surprised.

"I'm talking about legitimate healing, using healing arts," Charlotte had a wry expression on his face.

"But why would Roland come to heal you? Are you acquainted?" Diana stared at him and asked.

"To be precise, this is our first meeting," Charlotte replied frankly, "He came to find me because of the antidote for the magic medicine."

"So, you contacted him?"

"I didn't initiate contact. I had used a potion on a deer person before, and he happened to save that deer person last night. He learned about the antidote for the magic medicine from him and found me as a result," Charlotte laid it all out, "He came to discuss cooperation with me, and we reached an agreement regarding dealing with the Jadeson Family."

"Should I leave then?"

"Do you think the Harriman Family can handle the Jadesons?"

Diana pondered silently for a moment, then shook her head, "To be honest, they can't handle it. Forcing it would only lead to being overwhelmed."

"That's why I agreed to have Roland join us. With the Duru Family as our allies, our chances of overthrowing the Jadesons will greatly increase," Charlotte explained.

"Why would Roland want to act against the Jadeson Family?" Diana was a bit puzzled.

"The Duru Family's core business is based in a stable Abyss. They import goods from the outside and distribute them within the Abyss. The Jadesons, with their magic medicine operations, are plundering the wealth and lives of the Abyss residents, which poses a serious threat to the Duru Family's core business," Charlotte voiced his inference, "But how much influence does Roland have in the Duru Family? Can his words carry weight?"

"Over the past two years, Roland has gradually gained control over the core rights of the Duru Family. Apart from the two medical halls, he is also in charge of many other businesses. In terms of influence, he can indeed represent the Duru Family," Diana replied.

Charlotte nodded thoughtfully and then looked at Diana, "And what about you?"

Diana smiled faintly, "Whether I can become the sole heir depends on your performance."

"It seems that we both can get what we want," Charlotte smiled as well, "I have arranged a meeting with him. Tomorrow, the three of us will discuss the specific details of our cooperation."

"Okay," Diana nodded.

"Doctor, did you put the six little white mice in the room?" Buddy knocked on the door and looked at Charlotte as he spoke.

"Yes, put them in the room for me," Charlotte nodded.

"Wait a minute! What mice?!" Diana, who knows when had shrunk into the corner of the sofa and asked nervously.

"Just a few cute little white mice that I keep. They are used for testing medicine," Charlotte explained, he was surprised that someone as elegant as her would be afraid of mice.

"No! Not! I cannot have mice in my house!" Diana said decisively, "Buddy, take them to the adjacent storage room."

"Yes, miss," Buddy agreed and quickly left.

Charlotte felt a bit helpless, but since the lady of the house had spoken, he couldn't insist.

"By the way, thank you for helping with the repairs of the house. For safety reasons, can I make a small request?" Charlotte changed the topic.

"Go ahead."

"Can we install a higher-level magical protective barrier? The Abyss is too chaotic, and I can't sleep well these days," Charlotte glanced at Diana, though he appeared nonchalant, he was a bit unsure.

After all, this request seemed a bit excessive no matter how you looked at it.

Diana looked at Charlotte, contemplating his request for a moment. She understood his concerns about safety in the chaotic Abyss and realized that a stronger magical protective barrier would provide them with much-needed peace of mind.

After a brief pause, Diana nodded and replied, "Alright, I will arrange for a higher-level magical protective barrier to be installed. Your request is reasonable considering the circumstances."

Charlotte's face lit up with a smile. "Thank you, Diana. I appreciate your understanding."

Diana returned the smile and said, "We're in this together, Charlotte. Your safety is important to me as well."

With that settled, they continued discussing the details of their upcoming meeting with Roland. They planned to gather the next day and finalize their cooperation agreement to take down the Jadeson Family.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent storage room, Buddy carefully placed the six little white mice in a comfortable cage. He couldn't help but chuckle at Diana's fear of mice. He had known her for a long time and was well aware of her aversion to rodents.

As he closed the door, Buddy thought to himself, "It's a good thing Miss Diana doesn't know that these cute little mice are magical creatures. Charlotte uses them for his experiments, but they won't cause any harm."

Back in the living room, Diana and Charlotte continued their conversation, delving into the intricacies of their plan. They discussed the resources they would need, the roles each party would play, and the potential challenges they might face.

Throughout their discussion, Diana showed her competence and determination. Charlotte was impressed by her intelligence and shrewdness, realizing that she was indeed worthy of becoming the sole heir of the Harriman Family.

As the night wore on, they finalized their strategy and agreed on the key points of their cooperation. They were both confident that with Roland's assistance and the backing of the Duru Family, they stood a good chance of toppling the Jadeson Family's reign in the Abyss.

With their plans set, Diana and Charlotte bid each other goodnight and retired to their respective rooms. They knew that the road ahead wouldn't be easy, but they were determined to succeed and bring justice to the Abyss.

The next day, they eagerly awaited their meeting with Roland, ready to present their proposal and solidify their alliance.

Little did they know that this collaboration would not only shape the fate of the Abyss but also lead to unexpected twists and turns in their own lives.

The stage was set, and the game was about to begin.
