Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Diana lazily reclined on the fur armchair, her round thighs overlapping each other. She gazed seductively at Charlotte, who sat across from her, maintaining a serious posture and avoiding eye contact.

The interior of the carriage was spacious, with ample room even for lying down on the large seats. The seats were covered in snowy white fur, soft like clouds, giving the feeling of sinking into them. There was no sense of jolting, and there was enough space to comfortably perform various maneuvers without feeling crowded.

"I heard that you often spend time at the club on Aman Street, being a good brother to many succubi. Why are you now afraid to even look at me?" Diana asked with a playful smile.

"That's not the case. I only pity them and want to help them in any way I can. Besides, that was an immature idea from my younger days. I have come to realize that," Charlotte calmly replied, maintaining her composure.

"Realized?" Diana showed a hint of curiosity. "What have you realized?"

"To be virtuous when poor and benevolent when prosperous. If one wants to help more people, they must first become prosperous themselves," Charlotte earnestly explained.

"Virtuous when poor and benevolent when prosperous..." Diana softly repeated her interest in Charlotte growing.

Truly, she was the former genius of Calva City. She had a way with words and an air of sophistication.

"I heard that recently you have been successfully treating people, going out on your own. Your surgeries seem to have genuine healing effects," Diana stared intently at Charlotte and asked with great interest, "Can your surgeries cure people?"

As soon as she heard a question related to her profession, Charlotte immediately became spirited and confident. "Yes, surgeries can remove diseased tissues, repair injuries, perform organ transplants, and improve the functioning and form of the body... Although they cannot cure all diseases, they can indeed achieve the effect of treating and saving lives."

Diana listened with a mixture of surprise and confusion, then couldn't help but laugh. "What you're saying sounds even more impressive than what a healing mage in the treatment field would claim. They wouldn't dare say they can perform organ transplants."

"While healing magic is miraculous, it has many limitations in practical application. When facing unknown causes of disease, they often shift the blame onto deities to maintain their sacred status. Moreover, those charlatans charge exorbitant fees, often demanding thousands of copper coins, effectively denying healthcare to the lower classes."

"Surgery, on the other hand, only requires standardized training to enable an ordinary human to possess the ability to treat and save lives, thus reducing the cost of medical care for the lower classes," Charlotte explained with a serious expression.

Diana seemed to see a glimmer of light in Charlotte's eyes, something rarely seen in the Abyss.

Numb grayness was the most common color there.

She had heard stories about Charlotte.

The fallen prodigy of Heaven's Pride often rotted faster than ordinary people.

Yet, this young man in front of her seemed undeterred.

He remained steadfast in his dreams, even if the whole world saw him as deviating from the norm.

And he seemed to have achieved it.

Even though it had just begun.

"Perhaps, after all, Bacca Street could have a decent medical clinic in the future. That would be worth investing in," Diana thought to herself, her gaze at Charlotte now tinged with admiration.

Among the large medical clinics in the Abyss, there were four: one under the Jason family, two under the Duru family, and one under the Daniel family.

As one of the four major families, the Harriman family still did not have a large medical clinic under its control.

Those doctors were not particularly powerful, and they had quite a temper. With the backing of the Physicians Association, even the four major families of the Abyss couldn't force them.

If she could cultivate a large medical clinic in Bacca Street, it would be a crucial asset for her, giving her an advantage in the family's struggle for inheritance.

"No wonder those old guys from the Physicians Association wanted to get rid of you. You were shaking the very foundation they stood upon. If they hadn't killed you, they would have been considered fools among their ranks," Diana said languidly.

Charlotte modestly replied, "Those were mistakes made in my youth. Now, I just want to quietly make money, and live a peaceful life."

Diana smiled ambiguously as she looked at Charlotte, neither confirming nor denying her words.

The carriage slowly came to a stop, and the voice of the coachman could be heard from outside. "Miss, we've arrived at Harry's General Store."

"Thank you for giving me a ride," Charlotte quickly stood up and bid farewell.

"No need to be polite. I will send someone to fetch the Hydrating Essence Water in three days," Diana lazily waved her hand.

The magnificent carriage parked in front of the general store attracted the attention of many passersby.

A pure white unicorn, a rare fourth-tier magical beast, was pulling the carriage. Moreover, two unicorns were nearly identical and used for pulling the carriage.

Such grandeur was only fitting for the four major families.

And the prominent fox emblem on the carriage made it instantly recognizable as belonging to Miss Diana of the Harriman family.

However, given Miss Diana's status, why would she come to Harry's General Store on Tucker Street? This place was within the territory of the Duru family.

"What's going on? Is she placing a big order?" Inside the store, Harry climbed onto a reclining chair, pushed his heavy black-framed glasses, and looked at the carriage parked outside with a puzzled expression.

Then, the carriage door opened, and a young human man emerged carrying a large sack, stepping out of the carriage.

Faintly, people could still see the beautiful woman in the carriage, her iconic silver hair. It was indeed Miss Diana.

"Who is this? How did he get off Miss Diana's carriage!"

"He's a human? And he looks like an ordinary human?"

"I don't understand!"

The onlookers looked at Charlotte, who jumped off the carriage and walked towards the general store, with astonished expressions, murmuring.

"What the hell!"

Harry's eyes widened, and he plopped down from the reclining chair.

Struggling to get up from the ground, Harry looked at Charlotte, who entered the store, with a shocked expression. "Did your landlady fall in love with you for real?"

After hearing the sound of the carriage departing from behind, Charlotte sighed softly, "There are some things I can't control, and I can't refuse. I can only go along with her."

"I want to punch that smug face of yours," Harry spat out, unable to hide the jealousy in his expression.

"Enough of that, let's get down to business. These are the collateral items I've received in the past few days. Give me an appraisal and buy them," Charlotte placed the large package on the counter.

Harry opened the package and glanced through it with mild interest. "These are just some worthless trinkets. This lizard tail can fetch 500 copper coins, and the rest of the items will be given a total price of 800 copper coins."

"All right, I'll take that price," Charlotte nodded.

The price was similar to the evaluation given by the system. With a total of 1,300 copper coins, he could earn a few more coins.

Harry's purchase price was quite fair.
