The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 431

Alex woke up to find himself lying on a big bed. The bedsheets were pure white, the ceiling was white as well. There was also a woman in pure white clothes in the room. “Where am I?” “Where are my clothes?” Alex wanted to sit up, but he realized that his head was hurting really badly and his body felt strange. Just then, a hand was placed on his forehead, pushing him back down onto the bed with force. “Stop moving.” The woman in white was the female doctor named Nanami. She was wearing a white doctor’s robe, a white cap and a pair of white shoes. Her skin was as white as snow as well. She must be obsessed with the colour white. Alex then realized there were many silver needles poked into his body. If he were to count them, there would be at least 100 of them. She had turned him into a porcupine with them. “Uhm-… “What are you doing to me?” The woman replied, “When you were saving Steel Tower, you ended up fainting from exhaustion. Your condition was terrible and your mental strength had almost been drained out. You could’ve died at any moment. That’s why I’m using the Damage Reverso acupuncture to heal you.” Ms. Nanami was still poking those silver needles into Alex. Her silver needles were doused in a herbal solution, the scent was fairly unique. Alex took a few sniffs and was shocked. “This is an extract of a ginseng that’s at least 500 years old.” Ms. Nanami replied calmly. “You have a sharp nose.” This must be how she normally behaved. She paused and said, “Are you really the apostle of Dazzle, the Spirit Doctor? Did you use the Beleben Soul Jinx to save Steel Tower?” Alex froze. “You know it too?” Ms. Nanami shook her head. “I don’t, but I’ve heard of it.” After a few seconds, she said, “Alright, get some rest. I’ll come back in an hour to take the needles out of you.” “Wait!” Alex called out to her. “I’m lying here looking like a porcupine because of you. I can’t even move! Can you stay and talk to me?” “Sorry, I don’t do ‘talking’. I’m busy.” Then, she left without turning back. Alex was starting to get bored. It was fortunate that someone came in right after the doctor left. Anna walked in with two bottles of wine. “You’re awake?” “Wanna drink with me?” Alex rolled his eyes at her. “You really are an alcoholic. Just look at me, can I even drink like this?” Anna didn’t mind and drank on her own. An hour passed by quickly as the conversed. Alex managed to get some information on Ms. Nanami’s identity, she was a disciple from Hygieia Valley. Hygieia Valley was a place for cures and medicine. Its mystical origins could be traced back to the tenth century. Every disciple from Hygieia Valley was extremely skilled in medicine, and they could make medicine from scratch as well. Alex also found out that the person who hurt Steel Tower was a skilled fighter named Clown. This person was not only skilled in martial arts, he was a Mystic-ranked fighter-he also possessed odd and mysterious attacks as well. He was the legendary Gold Detector, but he was usually referred to as a tomb raider. Divine Constabulary had been assigned to arrest this person because he had raided a very important grave. It was filled with many valuable national treasures, which they now had to retrieve. Alex was shocked. “You guys arrest tomb raiders too?” Anna let out a deep sigh and sat on the edge of the bed. She had downed two bottles of wine and her face was slightly flushed, but she was yet to be drunk. “That’s what Divine Constabulary does. We follow up on every danger or obstacle,” she said and furrowed her eyebrows. “What is this? This bed feels weird.”
