The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Scammer

Robin's words left Drake and Shirley stunned.

The idea of using witchcraft was something they had only ever heard of in legends-certainly never within their own family. Drake had no reason to doubt Robin's skills; after all, he had witnessed them firsthand. To him, Robin seemed unbeatable,

However, when it came to Robin's exceptional medical expertise, all he knew was from Shirley and Wilder's conversations. One day, after Shirley returned from the city hall, she recounted in vivid detail how Robin had saved Martin at Wright Mansion. Wilder, too, enthusiastically told him about Robin's legendary "Eighteen Spirit Needles technique.

This only deepened Drake's amazement. He still found the notion of a "miracle doctor" far-fetched, but with Shirley and Wilder both praising Robin so highly, Drake was eager to see his abilities in action.

Earlier that morning, Wilder, the president of the Holistic Medicine Association, had visited the Dunns villa at Martin's request to examine Timothy. Wilder and Drake had discussed Timothy's condition extensively, and Wilder had even performed a diagnosis. They spent hours examining Timothy, yet they couldn't determine why he remained in a state of deep. unresponsive sleep, paralyzed in bed. Medically speaking, his symptoms were akin to brain death.

But Wilder sensed something more going on with Timothy. Although he couldn't pinpoint the exact issue, his examination revealed a strange presence within Timothy's body, something that seemed to be restlessly stirring almost like a pulsing energy or a colony of rapidly multiplying microorganisms.

Sometimes, this foreign presence would vanish without a trace; other times, it became highly active. Most of the time, these unknown forces occupied Timothy's organs and meridians.

Wilder couldn't determine what this unusual energy-or possibly microorganisms-was or what might be causing it. Without a clear diagnosis, he was hesitant to make any assumptions about Timothy's condition.

After Drake's persistent urging. Wilder reluctantly attempted an acupuncture treatment on Timothy. He speculated that Timothy's symptoms might have been caused by extreme fatigue, leading to a depletion of Positive Energy and physical frailty.

Starting with the Governing Vessel, which directs Positive Energy, Wilder carefully administered a needle. Timothy's body showed a small reaction, but almost immediately, his condition took a severe turn for the

worse.

Wilder quickly stopped the treatment.

After multiple failed attempts to replace a solution, he regretfully told Drake that his skills had reached their limit. He could neither diagnose Timothy's real issue or risk further treatments, fearing that one wrong move might push Timothy past the point of recovery.

In the end, Wilder insisted that only Robin could save Timothy. If Robin couldn't do it, then it might truly be hopeless.

Drake was deeply shaken by Wilder's words. Wilder, once regarded as a titan of holistic medicine in

Draconia, now referred to Robin as a "peerless healer capable of snatching life from the hands of the Blackreaper."

It was hard for Drake to believe that someone as young as Robin-barely in his 20s-could possess such remarkable skills.

That afternoon, Wilder had an emergency consultation and couldn't stay at the Dunns villa any longer. However, upon hearing that Robin would be arriving that evening, Wilder resolved to return, even if it meant cutting his commitments short, to witness Robin's treatment of Timothy firsthand.

Drake cleared his entire schedule and spent the entire afternoon at home, waiting for Robin. If what Wilder said was true and Robin could indeed bring Timothy back from death's door, Drake could finally stop worrying about the Dunns' current predicament, torn between generations.

Timothy had been groomed as the next leader of the Dunns, his successor. If he could regain his health, the future of the Dunn family would be secure.

Shirley, after all, was still young, and her experience in decision-making and political maneuvering remained limited.

Shirley often struggled to truly support the massive Dunn Group empire on her own.

To reach the level Timothy once achieved, she still had a long way to go.

If the environment-both internally and externally-remained steady, Shirley's leadership wouldn't be much of a concern.

But the business world was a dangerous place.

When the Dunn Group had the combined support of both Drake and Timothy, it thrived, and no competitor dared to challenge them. Most were more interested in forming alliances than picking fights. However, with a leader who lacked the same strength, competitors would soon begin to plot in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike.

As soon as Timothy fell ill, instability both inside and outside the Dunn Group began to surface.

Drake had to come back and help Shirley temporarily steady the company.

Even so, people like Norris and Liam were already starting to show their teeth.

If it hadn't been for Robin's unexpected arrival, the Dun Group might already be on the verge of collapse.

Drake knew that while the Dunn Group still held influence in Harmonfield, without strengthening its core leadership, it could fall apart at any moment. He had two plans in mind.

One was to bring Robin into the fold.

The other was to cure Timothy's strange illness..

If either of these could happen, the Dunn Group would have nothing to fear from any competitor, at least for now.

Hearing Robin say that Timothy had been poisoned with a dark, parasitic worm was well beyond Drake's understanding.

But since Wilder had vouched for Robin as a miracle doctor, perhaps Robin was right.

Just as they opened the door to Timothy's room, Oscarand Carol arrived, hurrying in with a man in his

fifties.

"Dad. I heard someone was going to treat Timothy, so brought Mr. Carter, Oscar said.

"Mr. Carter says Timothy absolitely shouldn't receive random treatments. If he's misdiagnosed by some quack, it could ruin him."

"If that happens and Timothy's condition worsens, it'll be too late to regret it."

The man introduced as Alex Carter, a holistic medicine doctor, approached Drake respectfully.

"Mr. Dunn, I heard from Oscar that you've called in a doctor to treat Mr. Dunn?"

"If I may, let me say a few words. Many scammers claim they can cure anything."

"In reality, they're just using tricks to swindle patients and their families."

"Mr. Dunn, please don't let anyone harm Mr. Dunn by falling for this kind of deception."

Drake's brows furrowed slightly, and he let out a low hum. "Who told you I called a scammer?"

"Oscar, if you keep running your mouth, get out of here!"

Oscar took a quick step back, too scared to speak.

Alex laughed awkwardly. "Mr. Dunn, Oscar didn't mean it that way."

"Just recently, I prescribed Mr. Dunn a treatment."

"With continued use, he's bound to improve."

I'm confident that after two more months, Timothy will at least be able to open his eyes and even speak.

Oscar jumped in, "Dad, Mr. Carter's right!"

"Don't listen to some con artist's nonsense and delay Timothy's treatment!"

"From what I've heard, this Robin guy is a complete fraud!"

"How could someone his age know holistic medicine?"

"Mr. Carter's saying we absolutely shouldn't let him mess with Timothy's treatment"

Robin glanced up at Oscar. "Are you calling me a fraud?

Oscar pointed at Robin. "Everyone in Harmonield knows you're nothing but a loser who got dumped 4
