Chapter 171

"Speechless", "You've been a doctor before I was born, then why the hell do you find such a question strange?" He said in a raised tone

"It seems it is in your Destiny to die, I just saved your life and you want to piss me off? I could take back my treatment and take you to the same state you came" the old man said glaring at him

Swift, feeling his glares, was threatened. He knew this man could really do as he says and this would be detrimental to him.

Seeing him quiet the old man became calm " I want to imagine the look on your face when she gave you a good beating. You must have been so shocked that you couldn't believe it. And based on your shameless personality, you must have been like a proud peacock and must have ran your prideful mouth"

"Speechless", Surprisingly the old man wasn't wrong at all, he fit the description perfectly.

Seeing the look on his face, sure enough he was correct. "she must have wanted to go easy on you but it would hurt her ego since you've already declared yourself the victor" The old man said, searching through his tool box. "It's such a pity, now you are completely broken and you can't be fixed. Your ego and pride as a man has been destroyed. You can't even transport yourself to your apartment, you have to depend on a pill that can help you recover some of your energy. Was it a pill you asked for or a portion?"

"Speechless", "Anyone please"

"That's not an option, I don't have a portion or pill by that name" he said giving him a stern look

"A pill would do" Swift said sounding helpless, now he was at the mercy of this old man, he had no choice.

"A pill? I have a blue pill, but it has a side effect. It could gather 50 percent of your lost energy. It could replenish it in a few minutes but after you've exhausted it, you would feel so drowsy that you wouldn't be able to move an inch. Wherever the effect meets you, you would fall asleep immediately and it would take a day to wear off" The Old man said, showing him the blue pill. They had no right to administer such a drug without the person's approval.

"50 percent of my energy, that more than I expected" he said with a smile

"Is that what you are worried about? I just told you how powerful its side effects are. And all you care about is that?"

"That's what I need at the moment, so I can get the mission done. Feeling drowsy is something I can handle" he said proudly

(Scoffs) "You couldn't handle a woman, you feel drowsiness is easy to handle. As a man you couldn't even take one hit" he said mocking him.

Swift was speechless, it seems he would have to live with this mockery all his life. If he had known he wouldn't have involved himself in such a fight that would bring him such a shame. "Old man, what do you advise?" He asked, this was the only method he could use on the old man.

"Good, now you sound more reasonable. I created this drug by myself. All you need to do is to make sure you don't exhaust 50 percent of your recovered energy, the maximum you could use from it is about 20 to 30 percent. This is a very strict warning, you are allowed to exhaust the remaining when you are within this mansion's walls. After being exhausted, it would slow your healing rate but the miss hits had slowed your healing rate, so this would stop your ability to heal for days. If you want to still be alive, be within this walls." He said strictly

"I understand" he said nodding his head

Hearing this he handed over the pill to him and Swift took it immediately. He could feel his energy coming back to him. "I would be going off to see the young mistress. Adhere strictly to what I have told you that's if you still want to stay alive" After making this clear, he immediately left the pharmacy after tidying up the place.

Swift waited for a few minutes and he would feel a strong force of energy within his veins. He immediately disappears and goes into his apartment. Thank Goodness, his apartment was away from his master's mansion, so he didn't have to be scared of being seen by him. He immediately took a shower with difficulty, he got dressed and disappeared back to the same place where his life was almost taken away to his surprise Phil was still there. It seems he was waiting for him, "You're back" Phil said approaching him

"You've been waiting ever since?" He asked

"Yeah, I had to wait for you and I had a feeling you wouldn't take long. How do you feel now?"

"I am better,...such a '' Swift immediately stopped half way through his statement. He wanted to say "Such a small hit was nothing to me" but on a second thought he decided not to. The old man's words kept playing in his head. If he dared said those words what would happen if she appears right Infront of him and gives him another hit? He couldn't risk his life on such prideful and meaningless words. " Such a treatment from the old physician placed me back on my feet," he said and walked past him heading down the hall.

Getting there he could see the looks he was getting from everybody. But the mistake has been made and he had to say he made a big mess. He was half way to the hall when he saw those two men who had made mockery of him when he was down but he also remembered that one of the men had given him some of his energy.
