The Great Medical Saint

Levi picked up the cup, slowly walked over to Isaac, and presented it to him. "Mr. Wood, your coffee." Isaac accepted it and took a sip.

When he was about to talk, his chauffeur walked in with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. "Mr. Wood, Mr. Lancaster's secretary called and said someone named Matthew Grant is looking for him. Mr. Lancaster has been asked to go back." Levi was somewhat surprised. "I told Tobias to take care of him. Why is he at my office?"

Isaac hurled the cup at the ground, then slapped Levi across the face. "And you fucking promised me he won't be able to last three days? He's now after you!"

Levi covered his face, secretly gritting his teeth in anger. However, he dared not express any displeasure. "Mr. Wood, I've no idea what's going on either. I... I'll go back and have a look."noveldrama

Isaac scoffed, "What else could have happened? Your subordinate, that Tobias, must have betrayed you and ratted you out. Have you got rocks in your head? You couldn't even figure that out?"

Levi held his face and dared not retort. Naturally, he knew Tobias must have betrayed him. But he couldn't figure out why Tobias would dare to do that.

Tobias used to be just a thug. Then, by chance, he became Levi's chauffeur for a few days. With Levi's help, he had managed to make somewhat of a name for himself in Lambda City.

In truth, Tobias was one of Levi's henchmen. The latter couldn't believe Tobias had actually betrayed him.

"Mr. Wood, since Matthew is looking for me, I won't let him go. He has a death wish if he's at my office. I'll frame him for a crime of some kind. His life will be over!"

Isaac huffed. "Why the fuck are you still here then?"

At Isaac's reproach, Levi's face twitched, and he nodded. "I'm going. I'm going right now."

Levi acted as Isaac's thrall, letting Isaac berate him as he pleased. He didn't dare to show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

After 20 years of hard work, he had finally reached his current position. Nobody but him knew of the difficulties he had faced and the sacrifices he'd had to make along the way.

It was the reason he cherished his position so much. He certainly would not offend the Wood family for such trivial matters.

Isaac waved him off. "Show me with your actions, not your words. Go! I'll be waiting to hear from you."

Having heard that he was told to leave, Levi finally left in haste.

After Levi was gone, a suited bodyguard with an average-looking face walked over to Isaac. "Mr. Wood, if you give him orders with such an attitude, he'll hold

resentment."

Isaac glanced at the bodyguard, Fabian Cooper, calmly. The latter had been his childhood playmate, so they confided in one another.

Isaac had made Fabian his bodyguard, not for his protection but for them to be able to chat frequently.

Without anyone else present, they interacted like friends. "Why do you insist on calling me 'Mr. Wood' like them? Never mind. Do as you please.

"I can't possibly talk to him nicely. I only need him to know this-when he obeys me, he will gain fortune and power. When he doesn't, he's doomed.

"I have no idea what his true feelings are, but I'm confident he's giving it his all when he works for me."

Fabian still didn't understand. "What if you talk with him pleasantly?"

Isaac shook his head. He had kept Fabian by his side because of his naivety. His questions were hilarious to Isaac.

"If I speak with him pleasantly, he won't take my words seriously. If I were as kind as you are, comforting him when he makes a mistake or fails to meet my expectations, he'd care even less. He'd be even more flippant next time I give him a task.

"Remember, if you want to be above others, don't be kind. Be ruthless! Be an animal tamer, and treat your subordinates as beasts. Feed them when they're obedient. Lash them when they are not. And you have to lash them hard."

Fabian shook his head. "I'm not going to be above others. I can't do such things."

Isaac laughed heartily, finding that ridiculous. He couldn't understand why Fabian always let trivial matters hold him back.
