Chapter 166 The Medical Association Lecture

4 feets like everything is finally coming together, Whitney thought. She copied all of Charlie’s data and files to her own device.

Then, she patted him on the shoulder. “Appreciate it, you’ve worked hard.” “No worries. Helping out my goddess is an honor.” Charlie grinned.

He glanced at the shoulder Whitney had patted his eyes shining brighter.

‘If you really want to thank me, maybe you could-” He grinned mischievously.

Whitney rolled her eyes. “Stop with that weird smile and spit it out already.”

‘I want to learn that technique you used to beat me last time,” Charlie said, bouncing on his toes, looking at her with hopeful eyes.

Charlie became fascinated with Whitney and made her his idol after she totally destroyed him in a DarkNet tournament. He didn’t stand a chance.

It was his first taste of losing in the online world.

After that, he kept challenging Whitney for a rematch.

But every time he challenged her, he lost all over again.

With every loss, his admiration for Whitney only grew.

He’d bugged Whitney for online lessons countless times, and now that they were finally meeting face–to–face, he was determined to get her to walk him through, hands–on, all the exact techniques she used to defeat him.

He was hell–bent on learning her secrets.

In his mind, if he could pick up a tenth of what Whitney knew, his skills would level up big time.

Whitney couldn’t help but laugh at the way Charlie was staring at her with those hopeful, puppy–dog eyes. “Have I ever turned you down when you asked me to teach you something?”

Charlie’s eyes sparkled, practically glowing with excitement.

He cheered, “I swear, I’ll dig up everything on that Dovania account in record time. Whitney, wait for the good news.”

With that, he grabbed his laptop and dashed back to his computer room, practically bouncing with excitement.

Whitney called after him, “Stay sharp. Don’t underestimate your opponents. You’re ranked second on the DarkNet, but that doesn’t mean you’re the second best in the world.

‘There are plenty of hidden masters out there who never show up for the DarkNet competitions.

‘Every step you take, be careful. If you spook them, you could be putting your life on the line.”

Charlie froze, his eyes going wide. “It’s that dangerous?”

Wait, are we really talking life and death here?‘ Charlie thought.

Whitney nodded. “It might be more dangerous than you think. If you’re scared, I won’t force you.”

Charlie puffed out his chest, looking like he’d never back down from a challenge. “Scared? I’m not afraid of anyone except

Vee.

‘The more dangerous and thrilling it is, the more hyped I get. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.”

He lived for the thrill.

The riskier things got, the more it fired up his real potential.

Whitney looked at the fiery young man, then rested her chin in her hand and glanced at Ryan, who was sitting nearby. “Mr. Pierce, I’ll have to trouble you to look after my people.”

With Ryan’s crew around, even if someone did notice Charlie, they wouldn’t be able to touch him with Ryan’s people watching his back.

But if anyone actually tried to make a move on Charlie, Whitney would have no trouble tracking down whoever was behind

1. it.

Ryan replied, “If he’s your people, then he’s my people, too. I won’t let anything happen to him.”

Charlie was totally floored.

He thought, ‘The ship is real.

Chapter 166 The Medical Association Lecture We are basically a team now.

Whitney called me her people.

“And Ryarr called me his people, too.‘

He couldn’t believe that he suddenly had two bosses.

He thought, ‘Shipping them was the best decision ever.

‘Look at me, I have two badass bosses now.’

The next day, at Roynfort University, where geniuses, the powerful, and the rich alt converged, it was alive with excitement and prestige.

It wasn’t the students who were pumped up.

There were also tons of high–powered professionals strutting around in suits and ties.

And more people showed up in crisp white lab coats or dressed in traditional physician robes.

One by one, they headed to Roynfort University’s largest auditorium, which could hold up to ten thousand people.

In an hour, the place was packed.

Doctors from both traditional and modern medicine backgrounds were gathered together, deep in discussion, debating, and exchanging opinions.

The movers and shakers in suits were chatting it up with doctors in white coats or old–school robes every now and then.

At exactly nine in the morning, a bell rang out from the stage.

A deep, resonant bell echoed across the massive auditorium stage.

Davis, dressed in a traditional physician’s robe, appeared on stage, surrounded by university officials and a crowd of

Medical Association members.

The audience erupted in thunderous applause, all together calling out, “Mr. Russell.”

Davis was a major authority in Centlandia. His influence in the medical world was second to none.

Getting him to come to Roynfort University for a lecture was like an absolute godsend for the university president.

That’s why all the top names in both traditional and modern medicine were fighting over invitations, desperate to witness

Davis.

And naturally, all the heavy hitters interested in medical investments showed up, too, hoping to score some deals or find

new partners.

Since this was a big lecture, Davis was representing the Medical Association, so he was dressed to impress, looking all sharp and serious, with a solemn, commanding presence.

He gave off a vibe that he was both mysterious and hard to read, as if no one could really figure him out.

He cleared his throat. There was no beating around the bush, a quick greeting before diving straight into the lecture.
