This Time... I Have to Stock Up on Props Before Coming Out of Seclusion!

Achoo!

Inside the hospital, Ian sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"Strange, who's thinking about me...?"

The group hurriedly pushed Dreyn into the hospital. The nurse quickly took him in, and when she saw the treatment on his wounds, her eyes widened in surprise.

What a beautiful stitching technique!

"What's wrong with this patient?" the nurse asked, her initial surprise followed by curiosity.

"A gunshot wound... the wound might be infected..." Ian said quickly.

"Gun... gunshot wound?"

The nurse's pretty face paled, and she quickly shut her mouth and stopped asking questions.

In Ejin City, there are some things you're better off knowing less about.

Dreyn was quickly taken to the Doctor.

The Doctor was a bald, elderly man with glasses. Regardless of his skill level, he was very patient.

While Ian and the others recounted Dreyn's injuries in detail, he didn't show any unusual expression, but quietly took notes, only asking curiously at the end.

Who treated this patient's wound?

Machi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward.

"I handled it..."

When the other person saw that Machi was a little girl, their eyes widened, and they even took off their glasses to examine Machi closely, looking completely incredulous.

"Young lady, have you studied medical suturing before?"

Machi gently shook her head.

The Doctor remarked with some emotion.

"This level of suturing is absolutely amazing..."

"If... you study medicine, you'll definitely become an excellent Doctor in the future..."

Machi didn't know how to answer, so she looked at Ian. Ian hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke.

"Um... Doctor, could I have your contact information...?"

At this moment, he...

It's just like parents who want to hire famous tutors for their students...

Of course, Ian would investigate the other party's medical expertise afterward.

After obtaining his contact information, the group left Dreyn alone at the hospital.

His infection is not considered serious as long as he receives proper treatment in the hospital.

After paying the full amount, they were taken care of by nurses and then left.

When I got back into the car...

Ian naturally noticed Walker, who was now awake.

Upon seeing Ian, Walker was so angry he felt like he was about to grind his teeth to dust, glaring at him and saying...

"You bastard, what tricks did you use on me?!"

Even as he heard the other person's curses, Ian remained noncommittal and smiled.

"What, do you want me to control you again?"

Upon hearing this, Walker's face turned pale, and he trembled slightly, whether from anger or fear, and dared not say another word.

If he had to go through it all again, he really didn't know if he would have the courage to live on.

"Don't worry, as long as you follow our instructions, we won't do anything to you."

Everyone was tired after being out all day.

Fortunately, the hospital wasn't far from Palu's house.

Soon, the car arrived at Palu's house.

The Wallpaper House is still up in Palu's house, so Ian and the others certainly can't just leave like that.

At the same time.

Inside the house, Palu looked troubled, glancing up at the clock on the wall every now and then.

"Those people still haven't returned..."

"Was he arrested?"

"Someone as terrifying as them probably won't get caught... maybe they're committing a crime right now!"

He could vividly imagine the entire group of people, all wearing hoods and wielding guns, robbing the bank.

Especially that fierce-looking Uvogin, he's clearly not that old, but he looks like a ruthless bandit no matter how you look at him!

"But... it seems they really are trying to teach me boxing!"

"Was that practicing your punches? He was just using this as an excuse to beat you up!"

"Have you forgotten... that you've never been able to withstand three of his punches!"

"But... some of what he said made sense. Because I'm not physically strong enough, I always look weak, so I'm easily bullied both at work and in life. Even though he always beats me up, I feel like I'm getting stronger, and I've become much more confident!"

"Damn it, Palu, wake up! They're a group of powerful criminals! What are you thinking?! Do you want to pity them?!"

"Only after they're caught can you safely take this money and run away with your family!"

"But they really didn't do anything wrong..."

Inside him, it felt like two little people were arguing incessantly, causing him immense inner turmoil.

"Boom"

Palu only quieted down when he heard the sound of a car outside the door.

He was lying on the sofa, quietly peeking out the window.

Even when the other person wasn't home, he still remembered to maintain his usual routine. Today was another day... another day of going out to "look for work" and returning home empty-handed.

He... had received over a million Jenny as payment from the other party, so naturally he wouldn't break his promise!

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open forcefully, Uvogin strode into the room. He immediately saw Palu, who had almost fallen off the sofa and looked terrified, and grinned.

"Hey, uncle, practicing now?!"

After spending a few days together, he got along quite well with this somewhat eccentric young man.

"Uh... no... no practice, you're back! Where are they?"

Uvogin gestured backward with his lips.

"Look, it's in the back. I'm exhausted after a long day... By the way, uncle, do you still have any of that fragrant beer?!"

"Whoosh!"

Palu quickly ran to the refrigerator and grabbed a few cans of chilled beer!

At that moment, Ian and the others also came in.

Palu's expression froze when he saw two strangers in the group.

After all, the other person had a pitiful look on their face, their cheeks were visibly swollen, and their other eye was glaring so fiercely it looked like they wanted to devour someone, their face full of grief and indignation...

This person clearly didn't join the crew through normal channels...

Palu tried hard to stop himself from thinking about how the other person had been brought here!

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Palu..." Ian saw the beer in the other man's hand and knew at a glance that it was for Uvogin, so he apologized to him.

"Smack!"

Uvogin won't stand on ceremony.

He flicked the cap off with his thumb and gulped it down!

The icy heat irritated his throat, making him feel incredibly refreshed, and he exclaimed excitedly.

"I have to say, having an ice-cold beer after exercising is absolutely amazing!"

"I have to Gratitude Palu for this! Even in Ian's place, I've never tasted anything this good!"

"Don't worry, sir, Ian taught me that I won't drink your beer for free! If anyone gives you trouble, just mention my name! Haha!!"

Palu gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Just then, Uvogin took a sip of his drink, glanced at him, and seemed to realize something, his tone becoming more serious as he spoke.

"However, if you don't want to be bullied, you'd better have a strong physique!"

After saying that, he looked around and, seeing that Ian wasn't there, he quickly turned away like a thief, abandoning his beer and pulling Palu away.

"Come quick, uncle, I won't drink your wine for nothing, I have something good that can help you!"

Palu:...

Hey, Uvogin, don't make decisions on your own... I haven't even said a word yet... Hey!

Half an hour later.

Uvogin stood there looking ashamed, while Ian glared at him, holding a [Nonliving Hypnosis Loudspeaker] and continuously using various hypnotic tools.

Nobunaga and Feitan stood to the side, clutching their stomachs, afraid they'd laugh themselves silly.

Machi and Pakunoda jogged along, searching for various potions and tools for Ian "hypnotize."

Chrollo, holding a "First Aid Guide" in his hand, calmly directed the operation.

Franklin hurriedly followed instructions and performed emergency treatment on Palu, who was foaming at the mouth.

Only when the other person caught their breath did everyone relax!

Uvogin wiped the sweat from his brow. Ian appeared behind him and said softly.

"You wanted Uncle Palu to die quickly enough, so... you thought of dragging him around in double gravity?"

Uvogin looked embarrassed.

He just felt that Palu was too weak and wanted to help him improve his physique as soon as possible...

He absolutely doesn't know the phrase "pulling up seedlings to help them grow"!

Fortunately, Ian and the others discovered it in time!

Palu rolled his eyes back, foaming at the mouth like he was having an epileptic seizure, and almost died!

These few times made Ian deeply feel the embarrassment of not drawing "medical tools" type items.

This time, he was determined to rest and recuperate at home.

I'll stay indoors until I come up with a useful gadget before I leave!

He, Ian, can also survive!
