chapter 6 Why should I pity you?

"No, please! I have an elderly parent and young children at home. If you send me to the police, it's over for me."
Alexander was completely panicked, kneeling down and begging, "Mr. Tranter, Mr. Reilly, Maximilian, please have mercy on me."
Anbius and Sebastian both looked to Maximilian, obviously wanting him to make the decision.
Faced with Alexander, who was crying a river, Maximilian's eyes held no pity.
Thinking of how he had to risk his life to scam people for money for his mother's medical expenses, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"You ask me to pity you, but have you ever pitied those helpless patients and their families?
Do you know how they scraped together this money? This is money earned from selling their homes and lands, money meant to save their loved ones!
But in the end, it was taken away by you with just a single bill. This is ten times worse than robbery. Why should I pity you?"
"I..."
Alexander was left speechless, collapsing onto the ground.
Seeing Maximilian's attitude, Anbius said coldly, "Go to the police station and turn yourself in. Maybe they will give you leniency."
Sebastian waved his hand and summoned two security guards to drag him out. He then apologized to Maximilian, "I'm really sorry, Maximilian. I didn't expect that our hospital would have such a parasite.
As an apology, your mother's medical expenses will be waived, and the hospital will give you an additional 30,000 as a thank you for your help."
Maximilian nodded. The hospital's response was sincere, so he didn't say anything more.
Anbius asked, "Maximilian, where did you study? How did you acquire such superb medical skills?"
Maximilian replied, "I haven't graduated yet. I'm a third-year student at River South Medical University, and I learned traditional Chinese medicine from my master."
Anbius asked, "May I ask who your master is?"
Maximilian replied, "My master's name is Reginald. He's a recluse, and not many people know his name."
"Oh!"
Anbius didn't say anything more. He had been in the health sector for many years, but he had never heard of a famous doctor named Reginald.
Sebastian said, "Maximilian, would you be interested in working at our hospital? If you are willing to come, I will immediately promote you to the position of chief physician, replacing Alexander's position."
River South Hospital is one of the top hospitals in River South City. It's almost impossible for ordinary medical graduates to get a job here. The fact that he was willing to offer the position of chief physician to Maximilian shows how highly he values Maximilian's medical skills.
Anbius laughed, "Mr. Reilly, you are really desperate for talent!"
Sebastian said, "Maximilian's medical skills are divine. I feel it's a pity to just make him the chief physician, but that's the highest position I can offer."
In their opinion, with such generous terms, the young man in front of them would definitely agree. But to their surprise, Maximilian shook his head and said, "Mr. Reilly, I appreciate your kindness.
But your hospital is a Western medicine hospital, and I studied traditional Chinese medicine, so it's not quite suitable for me to come here."
Sebastian said, "That's not a problem. As long as Maximilian is willing to come, I can set up a separate traditional Chinese medicine clinic for you."
He was indeed impressed by Maximilian's medical skills. Having him in the hospital would mean that they could immediately solve any difficult and complicated cases like the one they encountered today.
Maximilian shook his head again, "Mr. Reilly, I really am not suitable to work here."
He wanted to promote traditional Chinese medicine. Hospitals have too many rules and regulations, which are not conducive to personal development. He preferred to open his own traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
A deep disappointment flashed in Sebastian's eyes, "Well, young man, if you ever change your mind, I'm always here waiting."
He then called the hospital's office director to waive all of Pia's medical expenses and gave Maximilian an additional 30,000 as a thank you.
Maximilian took the money and left River South Hospital.
It was already past nine in the evening. He first called Pia to let her know he was safe, then dialed his girlfriend Ria Whitter's phone number.
An electronic prompt sounded over the phone, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off."
Maximilian sighed. Ever since the holidays started, Ria had disappeared. He couldn't see her or reach her on the phone. He didn't know what had happened.
Although it was summer vacation, his mother's rented bun shop was only a few square meters, and it was inconvenient to go back. He had been staying at school these past few days.
Back at the dormitory, he was the only one living there. Everyone else had gone home.
After a simple wash, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the Chaos Heart Sutra passed down by the Ancient Medical Sect.
According to the records of the Ancient Medical Sect, the Chaos Heart Sutra was passed down by the founder of medical science, Divine Farmer. It is an extremely superior cultivation method and is more suitable for healing people.
After he started practicing, he felt a stream of warm true Qi rise from his public region, moving around his body following the path laid out in the sutra.
As time passed, this stream of true Qi became stronger and stronger, and his body felt more and more comfortable.
The next morning, the red sun slowly rose from the east. Maximilian slowly opened his eyes, a glint flashing in them.
At this moment, he was filled with excitement. After a night of practice, his Chaos Heart Sutra had reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, only one step away from the Foundation Building stage.
What surprised him the most was that after reaching the ninth level, he had gained spiritual sense. Even with his eyes closed, he could see everything within a two-meter radius.
Moreover, his spiritual sense had the ability to see through things. Not only could walls not block his sight, but he could also see through people's bodies. At this moment, he could clearly see his own meridians, bones, and blood flow.
He knew that the reason for his rapid progress was entirely due to the spiritual energy transformed from the ancient jade pendant.
But now the Earth is lacking in spiritual energy, and it will be difficult to improve in the future. Thankfully, he had received the inheritance of the Ancient Medical Sect and could refine pills to help increase his cultivation.
Maximilian got out of bed, had a simple wash, ate some breakfast, and left the school gate feeling refreshed. He planned to find a pharmacy to buy the ingredients needed to refine the Foundation Pill.
Not far from River South Medical University, there is a 20-story office building. It's lavishly decorated without losing its dignity. This is the headquarters of Lacie Group.
Lacie Group is a well-known company in River South City with strong financial resources. In front of the office building, there is a small plaza of several hundred square meters.
As Maximilian was passing by, there were many people gathered in the square, watching something.
He glanced over and saw a red Porsche 911 parked in the middle of the square. In front of the Porsche was a heart-shaped pattern made from 999 roses.
A young man in his twenties was standing in front of the car, dressed in a suit and holding a bouquet of Blue Enchantress Roses. It looked like he was waiting to confess to someone.
The young man was quite handsome, but Maximilian immediately noticed that his face was pale and he lacked energy. He was a typical case of indulging too much in pleasure, and his body had been completely drained.
Just then, a soft and fragrant object bumped into him.
Maximilian quickly turned his head. It was a woman in an OL professional suit. Her attention seemed to have been drawn to the young man in the square, and the two of them bumped into each other.
Fortunately, neither of them was walking fast. The woman stepped back a couple of steps to steady herself.
"I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry!"
Both of them knew that they hadn't been paying attention to where they were going and apologized to each other simultaneously.
Then they both exclaimed in surprise, "How come it's you?"
