Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Duru Manor.

In the quaint study, before towering bookshelves, two individuals sat across from each other, separated by a desk. The scent of sandalwood wafted in the air, creating an unusually serene atmosphere.

"I believe this is the best opportunity for us to bring down the Jadeson family," Roland broke the silence. "Elton has been expanding the Black Mage Guards for the past two years. On the surface, there are three hundred members, but the actual number has exceeded four hundred, and they continue to grow. It seems he intends to annihilate our three families and completely control the Abyss."

The old man sitting opposite him set down the book in his hand and looked at Roland with a half-smile. "Do you have a plan? What are the chances of success?"

The old man was Joseph, the patriarch of the Duru family and Roland's father.

"If the Harriman family sincerely cooperates and we manage to turn the adventurers forcibly enlisted into the Black Mage Guards against Elton, we'll have a seventy percent chance of success," Roland replied.

"How can you determine that the Harriman family will sincerely cooperate? And how can you guarantee that we can turn the Black Mage Guards against us? I think your seventy percent chance of success needs to be discounted," Joseph shook his head. "You must prepare for the worst-case scenario rather than envisioning the best outcome."

"Over the years, we have also accumulated some external forces. With the bonus of the anti-magic potion, even if we are the only family giving our all, our chances of success won't be less than forty percent," Roland said. "Now is the best time to make a move. The longer we wait, the more disadvantageous it becomes for us."

"I agree with your judgment," Joseph nodded slightly, "but we must make the Harriman family get involved. That old fox, Alfred, is cunning. If we end up in a life-or-death struggle with Elton while they reap the benefits, they will dominate the Abyss in the future."

...

Derek had no sons, only one daughter, Diana. Although she held the position of the clan leader, there had always been opposition within the clan against passing on the clan leader's position to Diana.

Derek's younger brother, on the other hand, had a son named Billy who was a few years older than Diana. Over the years, the father and son had been quite active within the clan and gained the support of many clan elders, seeking to compete for the position of heir.

Alfred observed all this without intervening or expressing agreement, leaving plenty of room for speculation.

Today, Diana had come here after discussing with Derek in advance.

Rather than handing the Harriman family over to that incompetent guy, Billy, Derek would rather believe in his daughter. At least based on her performance over the years, she could take charge.

But ultimately, the final decision rested with Alfred.

Today, Diana had something to discuss that concern the survival of the Harriman family and its future possibilities.

If she could accomplish this, Billy would be eliminated, and he would have no capital to compete with her.

"Grandfather, this is an anti-magic potion that can treat magical drug addiction," Diana gently placed the vial on the chessboard. "By taking this, not only can one overcome addiction, but it also creates a strong aversion to magical drugs."

A fleeting expression of surprise crossed Alfred's face as he looked at the small vial on the chessboard, then he turned his gaze to Diana, finding it somewhat unbelievable. "You're saying that this potion can cure magical drug addiction?"

"Yes, it has been tested, and its efficacy is remarkable," Diana nodded.

Alfred picked up the vial, examining the brown liquid inside the crystal bottle, then looked at Diana and asked, "This is a good thing. Where did it come from?"

"Baka Street, developed by a physician named Charlotte."

"I heard that you deployed quite a few Fox Guards to patrol Baka Street during this period. Was it for him?"

"Yes, this physician has some skills. I intended to win him over and have him open a large medical clinic in Baka Street so that our Harriman family could have its major clinic. However, Carol took an interest in him and sent people to kill him multiple times. Last night, they even sent a fourth-level werewolf to assassinate him, so I temporarily brought him to the manor. He presented this anti-magic potion and wants to cooperate with our Harriman family to eradicate the Jadeson family," Diana replied.

"Eliminate the Jadeson family?" Alfred laughed, "This kid has quite the audacity. Does he think that Elton's four hundred Black Mage Guards are pushovers?"

"So, he has approached Roland of the Duru family and is planning to join forces with our two families to deal with the Jadeson family," Diana explained.

"The Duru family..." Alfred pondered, "Joseph is not a fool. Is he willing to go head-to-head with the Jadeson family for that kid?"

"Father, Elton has been ambitious these past two years, swallowing up a significant portion of the Daniel family's territory. Moreover, magical drugs have started infiltrating our lands, and they are continuously expanding the Black Mage Guards. If we don't take the initiative, it won't be long before he engulfs our two families," Derek said with a grave expression.

"This Elton is insatiable and a troublemaker. If the Abyss is completely consumed by magical drugs, the Harriman family will truly have nowhere to retreat," Alfred sighed, looking at Diana. "Cooperation requires caution. We must ensure that the Duru family goes all-in as well, so they don't reap the benefits while we charge ahead."

"So, you agree then?" Diana's face lit up with joy.

"If this thing can turn one hundred Black Mage Guards against Elton, I will personally participate on the day you take action," Alfred said calmly, shaking the vial of potion in his hand.

Charlotte spent the entire afternoon and finally completed the final draft of the house blueprint.

The layout of the first floor was rearranged, with the operating room becoming two rooms. They also added a hospital ward, an alchemy room, and a laboratory. The diagnostic room was streamlined, making the layout more reasonable.

The backyard and the well were preserved.

The second floor had four rooms, each with its bathroom. They were made to the standards of Diana's villa, using magic arrays for water supply, ensuring complete odorlessness, and including a large bathtub as standard.

One must always believe in the craftsmanship of the artisans in the magical world.

When technology falls short, magic fills in the gaps.

The monthly rent of 10,000 copper coins was enough to make oneself live comfortably. It would be a disservice to the wallet if it didn't.

Of course, the kitchen had to be retained, with the layout unchanged. A clay stove and a larger pot, are perfect!

Looking at the blueprint in his hand, Charlotte felt that capitalists would shed tears when they saw it.

The only thing that worried him was the construction period. Such a high-end custom villa would probably take at least half a year to complete, right? He would need to find another place to continue his business in the meantime.

As a doctor, he couldn't neglect his professional duties.

Feeling the pressure from the monthly rent of 10,000 copper coins, he handed the blueprint to Badi. Agatha brought him dinner to enjoy.

Perhaps because he had exerted too much effort studying math last night, the little fox looked at him with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"Miss, would you like to try the water pipe's water inflow and outflow tonight?" Charlotte asked with a smile.

"I refuse!" Agatha's face showed fear, and she turned and ran away.

Math is too scary!
