Members of the World Medical Alliance with golden badges were few and far between, while those with purple-gold badges were even rarer.
He had been there for almost a year, yet he had never heard of the woman from just now, let alone seen her.
Recalling their initial encounter, coupled with the recent events, he was filled with immense curiosity and an overwhelming urge to know her better.
Considering he was a member with a silver badge, the law enforcement team treated him courteously.
“Her name is Neera, also known in recent years as the miracle doctor, Nancy. She is the youngest gold badge member in our alliance. With her abilities, she could have already become a purple-gold badge member, but it's said that she used to spend a lot of time in the library where she used up all her points despite owing a large amount. That's why she hasn't been promoted...”
Upon hearing that, Leopold immediately remembered the time when he first joined the alliance. He had seen the points leaderboard then.
The top spot on that list belongs to Neera! So it's her. It's actually her! In fact, from our first encounter, I could tell she was extraordinary due to her exceptional medical skills. Who would have thought that she has such an impressive background?
Beside him, Nicole also wore an expression of disbelief.
“How can this be? How can that woman possibly be the miracle doctor, Nancy?”
“Why not?”
In response to her question, the law enforcement team member responded with an indifferent expression. “Why do you think she and the president are so close? She is capable and powerful. Throughout the entire alliance, the president only has special regard for her. This is common knowledge in the alliance. On top of the president, other C-level members of the alliance hold Ms. Nancy in high regard too. This is a status that others simply cannot achieve. So, from now on, you should know your place and recognize your own abilities. Ms. Nancy is not someone you can afford to mess with!”
The group left behind their words of advice and quickly departed.
However, their words pierced through Nicole's heart, causing discomfort and resentment within her.
She had never imagined that Neera would be so formidable, a fact that was hard for her to accept.
At the same time, jealousy quickly took root and sprouted in her heart.
If only I were a member with a gold badge, the outcome of today's event would surely have been different, and I wouldn't have to face such embarrassment! How is Neera worthy of being a gold badge member?
After returning with the president and the others, Neera continued to study the wug.
In the evening, Neera cooked up a feast, preparing a table full of delicious dishes.
“Wow, it smells amazing.”
Daisy's face lit up with admiration. “What's the occasion?”
Neera happily placed the soup in the center of the dining table, flashing a smile.
“I'm leaving tomorrow, you know. You've been so helpful these past few days, so I wanted to give you all a treat as a token of my appreciation.”
The moment the departure was mentioned, Daisy felt reluctant to see Neera leave.
“When you leave, who knows when you'll be able to return...”
Neera smiled. “I'm currently living in Essley. It's not too far away, so I can come back soon. If you miss me, just give me a call. Or if you have time, you can come visit me, and I'll introduce you to my fiancé!”
“That's a promise!”
“Of course.”
In the midst of their conversation, a commotion echoed from the living room.
Neera curiously stepped out to take a look and was immediately astonished by the sight in the living room.
Not only was Eugene in the living room, but there were also several other people present, all of them C-level members of the alliance.
“Mr. Grey, what's going on?”
Neera was somewhat bewildered and asked hesitantly.
Eugene thrust his chin forward slightly. “Isn't it because the food you cooked is too fragrant? These people smelled it and came over in groups to mooch off your meal.”
Neera didn't know what to say.
She found herself feeling nonplussed and had no choice but to return to the kitchen. She ended up preparing several more dishes to entertain everyone.
That evening, the dining room was bustling with activity. Everyone was eating and chatting, their laughter echoing throughout the room.
Eugene was in high spirits and had quite a few drinks.
Taking advantage of his tipsiness, Neera tried to negotiate with him.
“Mr. Grey, how about waiving the five hundred thousand points penalty you imposed on me during the day? Look, I've prepared a smorgasbord of delicious dishes tonight, and it was quite the task. Even if it doesn't taste great, you should give credit to my effort, right? Please have some sympathy for me, and when I come back next time, I'll prepare another feast for you!”
Despite thinking that Eugene would let his guard down when drunk, Neera didn't expect the former to be stingy to the core.
However, Eugene lifted his head, firmly refusing her, “Dream on. Don't think you can try and manipulate me. The five hundred thousand points have to be paid in full!”
After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to ask for his purple-gold card back.
Neera frowned. “Why are you so stingy to the extent of taking the card away?”
Eugene glared at her. “What do you mean I'm stingy? The card was given to you on loan! Also, over the past few days, you've been spending a hundred thousand points a day, right? That's five hundred thousand in five days. Plus the penalty of five hundred thousand, that's a million... Daisy, remember to note this debt down later.”
He gave Daisy a brief instruction, then turned back and said, “Return my card. It's not yours to keep! Besides, you're leaving tomorrow, so you won't need it anymore. When you come back, take on more SSS-level tasks, and your points will naturally accumulate! When the time comes, you will have earned your purple-gold badge, won't you?”
Neera was dumbfounded.
Instead of getting a discount, I end up deeper in debt? Mr. Grey, this is too much!
She pleaded nicely two more times but was rejected again. In the end, she could only return the purple-gold card with a pained expression on her face.
This is quite the treasure!
When entering the library, the points deducted were the least, yet the medical books available for borrowing were of the highest grade.
With so many benefits gone just like that, how could she not feel heartbroken.
Everyone burst into laughter upon seeing the pitiful look on her face.
Only Neera was filled with frustration.
