Chapter 33 "Dreams Shattered by an Accident"

"Okay, now I'm going. I have some other work," Eric says to Gaurav Saxena, casting a brief glance at Veer.

"Oh, so you're leaving? But I thought you would stay here for a bit longer," Dr. Gaurav Saxena says, expressing surprise.

"No, really. I have some work. See you later." After uttering these words, Eric swiftly disappears, dissolving into the air.

Husssss...

The robust gust of wind echoes throughout Dr. Gaurav Saxena's office.

"So he left. He's always in a rush," Dr. Gaurav Saxena remarks, heaving a sigh.

"Sir, I apologize for asking, but you mentioned that the Battle Mages Alliance would cover the cost of my friend's treatment. So why don't they also pay for the magical potions?" Veer inquires, fixing his gaze on the doctor.

"The Heroic Battle Mage Alliance will cover the expenses incurred for the medicine used during your friend's operation, but not for the magic potions essential for life regeneration," Dr. Gaurav Saxena clarifies to Veer.

Upon hearing Dr. Gaurav Saxena's explanation, Veer comprehends that the Battle Mages Alliance will solely bear the burden of his friend's medical bills without providing a complete cure.

Suddenly, an idea strikes Veer. "Sir, perhaps I should explore the possibility of obtaining the Life Reincarnation magical medicine, which is imported from another country to Delhi," Veer suggests to Dr. Gaurav Saxena.

"Hmmm, you can obtain this medicine from the Battle Mages Alliance, but you need to be at least rank 7 or have a noble rank of 4. After that, you can apply for the life regeneration potion at the Battle Mages Alliance. Once you apply, they will inform you if they have it in stock or not," Dr. Gaurav Saxena explains.

"If they have it available, they will ask you for payment, and you can use that money to treat your friend's feet," he adds.

Veer absorbs the information, realizing that Lucky can no longer be a student at the Battle Mages Alliance school. Since the school only prepares warriors or magicians, they wouldn't provide Lucky with the same treatment he would have received as a graduate, such as a 10 million star dollar salary and a 200 million star dollar villa package.

Veer, who was previously jubilant about Lucky's impressive treatment from the Battle Mages Alliance, now feels disheartened. He envisions how Lucky's life will be affected, shattered by an accident, unable to fulfill his dreams of becoming a warrior and providing a better life for his parents.

Filled with anger, Veer contemplates seeking revenge on those who ruined Lucky's life. He harbors thoughts of punishing the murderer first, followed by their family, inflicting a fate worse than death upon them.

Observing Veer's silence, Dr. Gaurav Saxena gazes at him and offers guidance. "Veer, if you want that medicine, you have two options. One is to join the Battle Mages Alliance school, where you can earn 1 crore every month. However, keep in mind that the money they provide is intended for your training and shouldn't be spent as you wish. But I don't think that's the school you want to attend, given your appearance in a battle suit that seems like it's used for monster hunting. You should strive to be an independent warrior. Though I don't know why you left your studies, if you want to become an independent warrior, focus on hunting and killing as many monsters as possible. Collect their source stones, as well as their skin, claws, and eyes. These can be sold quickly for money. Once you accumulate 100 million star dollars, you can buy that medicine. But for now, take care of your friend."

Dr. Gaurav Saxena suggests that Veer's friend will likely regain consciousness within 1 to 2 days. Veer can then consider taking him home and sharing all the information with his parents. However, he advises Veer not to disclose details about the magic potions, as it is best to keep them away from public knowledge.

"Okay, sir. I will inform them," Veer responds to Dr. Gaurav Saxena, turning to leave. In his mind, Veer resolves to first comfort Lucky and then gather strength and funds for his friend's medicine. Once he feels capable enough, he plans to exact revenge on those responsible for Lucky's plight by eliminating them all.

A few days later...

Veer brings Lucky back to his home after Lucky regains consciousness, only to discover that both of his legs are now non-functional. Overwhelmed by the news, Lucky breaks down in tears, grieving the loss of his mobility. The nurse provides him with medication to ease his distress and puts him to sleep. The next day, when Lucky wakes up, he remains silent, weighed down by the enormity of his situation. His parents, witnessing their son's profound sadness, can't help but weep alongside him.

Unable to bear the sight of his friend in such despair, Veer brings a wheelchair to Lucky's room and implores him to open up. "Lucky, talk to me. I'm your friend from childhood, the one you played with. Even when I was in the orphanage, you would come and play with me. I've always been there for you, but you never shared everything with me—especially about your girlfriend. Is that why you befriended me?" Veer's voice trembles with anger and deep sadness as he confronts Lucky.

Silent at first, Lucky, burdened by the weight of his emotions, eventually breaks down upon hearing Veer's words. His cries fill the room, echoing with anguish.

"ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Veer, I kept this hidden from you because I wanted to surprise everyone. But I knew that someone would try to harm me. Now look at what has happened to your friend. You see, the girl I had feelings for asked me to marry her, and she even abandoned her cultivation for me. When she found out that someone had attempted to harm me because of our love, it deeply affected her. This incident caused a rift within her family as well. While her family believes that she should not have made such a sacrifice, her mother, who is a rank 9 warrior, loves her daughter dearly. She doesn't care about the stories or circumstances, but if anyone tries to interfere in her daughter's affairs, she doesn't hesitate to confront them. When she learned that her daughter had abandoned her cultivation because someone had targeted the boy she loved—especially because I come from a poor family—she was furious. Her husband, a rank 8 magician, also agreed that nobody should have meddled in their daughter's life. Ruhi, through a message, shared all this with me. Both her parents have disassociated themselves from the Aubriya family.
