chapter 8 Grandmaster

Everyone had been stunned, all looking at Baldwin Qi as he counted down.
"This young man really dared to speak in such a way. Who curses the Mayor like that? Isn't that seeking death?"
"Even though Mr. Wang had protected him, the trouble he caused was huge this time. If the Mayor really got angry, even Mr. Wang wouldn't be able to protect him!"
"Look at Elder Sun, his face turned black. This young man really offended him."
When Baldwin Qi counted to the last number, Fredric Huang's face suddenly turned dark, and he clutched his chest.
A moment later, Fredric Huang roared, leaning back, and almost passed out in his chair.
"Save me..." Fredric Huang reached out with difficulty, shouting the last two words at Baldwin Qi.
Seeing this, Kyle Sun was horrified. He quickly tried to save Fredric Huang, inserting various silver needles, but there was no effect.
In a short while, Kyle Sun was sweating coldly. This medicine...
If it really killed Mayor Huang, he wouldn't escape punishment either!
"Polygonum multiflorum is very nourishing, but it's Yin. The medicine you made was good, balanced in Yin and Yang... But his illness wasn't really an illness. Drinking such a strong medicine, it's a wonder he didn't die," Baldwin Qi casually explained.
Everyone's gaze at Baldwin Qi changed immediately. They hadn't expected this young man to have such insights, even surpassing Kyle Sun!
Kyle Sun coughed and said, "Young sir, please offer some advice?"
"Not interested," Baldwin Qi replied indifferently.
He had already said that drinking the medicine was like seeking death. Since Fredric Huang wanted to die, why should he help?
Kyle Sun quickly said, "Young sir, I was too rash just now, so my words were harsh..."
"Since you have the ability, please save Mayor Huang. I would be forever grateful."
"Mayor Huang has worked hard for the development of Zhonghai City over the years, making great contributions. He's an essential figure. Please give him a chance?"
Seeing Baldwin Qi remain unmoved, everyone began to plead with him.
Bevis Wang also laughed and said, "Second-in-command, although they don't appreciate your talent, do not take it to heart. Please help. I have many projects that need policies from Mayor Huang..."
Baldwin Qi walked up to Fredric Huang and kicked him in the chest.
"Bang!"
Fredric Huang flew straight out, hitting the wall. He spat out old blood, along with the medicine he had just drunk.
"How dare you! Not wanting to save the Mayor is one thing, but how dare you hit someone?" Fredric Huang's bodyguards were furious and prepared to act.
"Stop!" Fredric Huang, seemingly revitalized from somewhere, yelled, stopping everyone.
Kyle Sun's eyes nearly popped out. After spitting out the blood, Fredric Huang looked pale, but he spoke with full energy. He was clearly much better.
Fredric Huang coughed, "This master is saving me, not hitting me!"
Kyle Sun quickly went to the pool of black blood, picked up a bit with a paper, and sniffed it. He was shocked, "Poison?!"
"As expected of the Medicine King, you could even smell it... Right, there's poison in it, and not an ordinary one," Baldwin Qi glanced at Kyle Sun and said surprisingly.
The poison was made by a notorious individual in Underworld Prison, specifically to harm people, ensuring they died silently.
"Master, please accept my gratitude!" Fredric Huang bowed to Baldwin Qi.
Baldwin Qi didn't yield either. He nodded in acceptance and said, "Alright, recover slowly. Be careful next time and watch your diet."
Fredric Huang's eyes flashed coldly. He gave a slight nod, thinking that he needed to thoroughly investigate those around him when he returned.
Kyle Sun walked over to Baldwin Qi with an embarrassed look on his face and laughed, "Master's skills are truly extraordinary. I was blind not to recognize Mount Tai in front of me!"
"I hope Master can give me an opportunity to become your disciple. I wish to follow you and learn your medical techniques thoroughly..."
Upon hearing this, the crowd was as if struck by lightning. Who was Kyle Sun? He was actually asking Baldwin Qi for guidance and to become his disciple!
"I'm busy, we'll talk later." Baldwin Qi bluntly refused.
Bevis Wang chuckled without surprise. The Second-in-command was always like this, and nobody dared to offend him.
Even in the prison, those lawless demon kings, who could give headaches to even a country's president, acted obediently like chicks in front of the Second-in-command.
Coincidentally, Baldwin Qi received a call. The call was from Polly Li.
"Baldwin Qi, April is being forced to drink. You useless thing, why aren't you rushing over to take her home? If something happens, can you bear the responsibility?" As soon as Polly Li connected, she shouted angrily.
Baldwin Qi was taken aback, asked for the address, then hung up the call and asked Bevis Wang to arrange for a driver to take him there immediately.
He and April Qiao had become husband and wife. Although nothing substantial had happened between them, he couldn't stand seeing April Qiao being bullied.
He still remembered that after being kicked out of the Qi family, it was the Qiao Family that took them in. During his most difficult times, it was April Qiao who gave him a lollipop.
The sweetness of that candy still lingered in his mouth even now.
At this moment, April Qiao had already consumed a lot of alcohol. Her eyes were hazy, her pretty face flushed, and she exuded a captivating charm.
Polly Li sat beside her, looking very worried.
"Mr. Yu, I've already drunk these three glasses. Can you now repay the 20 million you owe my company?" April Qiao asked.
Otto Yu, a minor leader of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, sat in his chair with a smiling face and said, "You drank three glasses, so I'll pay back three million first."
April Qiao was startled and said, "Are you going back on your word?!"
Otto Yu replied in surprise, "Ms. Qiao, you can't say that! I just said I'd pay back if you drank, but I didn't specify how much."
Suddenly, he slammed a bottle of foreign liquor on the table and said, "Like this, Ms. Qiao. If you chug this down in one go, I'll repay the full 20 million without a penny less!"
April Qiao blinked her eyes vigorously. After three glasses, she was already feeling it. If she drank this one, she would probably pass out.
She shook her head and said, "Mr. Yu, I really can't drink anymore. Forget it... just repay the three million first!"
"Hehehe, since you're here, how can you not drink? Whether you want to or not, you have to drink!" A cold light flashed in Otto Yu's eyes as he said with a malicious smile.
While speaking, he directly opened the bottle. The pungent smell of the alcohol made April Qiao feel like vomiting.
Polly Li hurriedly intervened, "Mr. Yu, please give us some face... April really can't drink any more today!"
