Charlie was somewhat impressed that a Taoist priest could possess the strength of an eight-star martial artist.
At this moment, Master Howton felt a little annoyed when no one answered him after he spoke. He asked, “Where is Anthony Simmons?! He dares to keep Serene World Clinic’s signboard but he is hiding and does not dare to show his face?!”
Charlie deliberately coughed twice, stretched his waist lazily, stood up, and said in dissatisfaction, “Why are you yelling so early in the morning? Is there something wrong with your brain? If there is something wrong with you, you should call for help and go to the emergency room at the hospital instead. We can’t help you here!”
Master Howton looked at Charlie who had suddenly stood up, frowned, and asked, “Who are you?”
Charlie was still worried that Master Howton might have seen his father before, so he deliberately asked, “Why? Haven’t you seen me before?”
Master Howton stared at Charlie, then asked coldly, “Young lad, I didn’t see you the last time I came here. Do you work here?”
Charlie shook his head and said with a smile, “There is no medical clinic that can afford to hire me.”
Master Howton frowned and said angrily, “Young lad, I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. Ask Anthony Simmons to come out. It’s already almost eight o’clock and I want to hang up Celestial Hall’s signboard!”
After that, he thought of something and said angrily, “Where is Celestial Hall’s signboard?! Where is it?!”
Charlie pointed at the signboard that was being trampled under his feet and said with a smile, “You mean the one under my feet, right?”
Master Howton then saw Celestial Hall’s signboard which was being stepped on by Charlie. It was not only covered in dust and shoe prints, but the gold-plated words were even coming off. Master Howton was furious and pointed at Charlie as he shouted angrily, “Young lad, you’re really bold! You even dare to step on my signboard! I think you must be tired of living!”
After saying that, he raised his fist and made a fighting gesture.
Charlie curled his lips and said sarcastically, “Oh, old man, you’re really something. You actually want to hit me after barging in early in the morning? Do you believe that I can make you lose everything if you throw this punch?”
Master Howton instantly had a horrified expression as soon as Charlie said this!
He subconsciously stopped the fist he had already swung out immediately afterward.
He was not afraid of Charlie, but he already understood the truth from Charlie’s words. ‘This kid must be above the law here in Aurous Hill. Although I am not afraid of him, I’m new here and do not have any connections here. I’m afraid that the police will arrest me if I hit him, and it will be very difficult for me to stay in Aurous Hill then. In that case, my most important purpose in coming to Aurous Hill will then be delayed!”
As he thought of this, he clenched his teeth and thought to himself, ‘Forget it! I won’t let my great plans come to ruin just because of my impatience. I’ll spare this kid’s life today!’
Master Howton withdrew his fist with this thought. He stared at Charlie with wide-opened eyes and said, “Young lad, it’s your lucky day! I don’t want to start a killing spree here. Otherwise, I would have already sent you off to meet the Supreme One because of your disrespectful words to me just now!”
Charlie spat and continued taunting him, “Ptui! You’re really a stubborn old man. It’s not that I look down on you, but it’s a good thing that you did not make a move! Otherwise, I would have punched you until all your shit comes out on the spot! When the time comes, don’t hold your crotch and say that I have no respect for the elderly!”
