At last, Coleman reacted first. He felt extremely delighted, and he laughed out loud. "Well, I didn't expect the medicine you prepared to be so effective. It's a miracle!"
Darryl smiled. "You flattered me!"
After that, Marvin was completely awake. He let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at Coleman and said, "You found the medicine—" However, he only got a few words out until he was pleasantly surprised to find that the injury to his heart vessels was not as serious.
Marvin was still clueless that Darryl had prepared the medicine for him when he was in a coma.
"Marvin!"
Coleman smiled upon seeing that Marvin was finally alright. He lifted his hand and pointed to Darryl, saying, "We can't find the medicine for the wound, but this man here prepared one for you. He might seem ordinary, but he is quite knowledgeable in that field."
Hm?
Marvin's expression upon hearing that was one of disbelief. He examined Darryl from head to toe, unable to articulate his amazement.
He was quite aware of his injuries. His heart vessels were damaged, and only a miracle cure could cure him. However, that man was able to save his life using a random medication he formulated himself.
Incredible.
Marvin nodded at Darryl and said, "Thank you for your help. Your skills in preparing the medicine are admirable."
Marvin's tone was embellished with compliments and admiration. He was no longer arrogant; his attitude had changed entirely.
Darryl smiled slightly and said humbly, "You flatter me. I only have a rough understanding in this area."
No one knew the Divine Farmer in the Cryolet Continent, so there was no use in explaining that. It was better to keep a low profile.
Selina, who had been standing not far away, trembled. She looked at Darryl with her eyes filled with shock.
'Isn't he just a gambler? I'd never heard anyone saying he was good at medicine, but he made a simple medicine and saved the leader of that gang of pirates.'
'Were those rumors fake?' she thought.
Ronny and the others, who were nearby and saw that Marvin no longer had his earlier harsh attitude toward Darryl and was instead being nice, had confused looks. Inwardly, they could not help but grumble.
Coleman grabbed Ronny's hair!
Slap!
Then, Coleman raised his hand and slapped Ronny's face!
Coleman almost used all of his strength in that slap. Ronny squeaked in pain as blood spewed out of his nose and splashed onto the ground.
Ronny was overwhelmed with grievance and panic. "I… I did not say anything."
He had a bitter look on his face. He thought that the slap was unfair toward him. He did not expect Marvin to have such sharp hearing; he could hear him even when he was muttering quietly.
"Damn it!"
Coleman's face darkened. He threatened Ronny. "I don't care who you are, but Derrick just saved our leader, and now he is our savior. I'll destroy you if you dare to say bad things about him!"
Then, Coleman turned to look at Darryl with admiration, "Derrick, these guys dare look down on you. Just tell me how you want to punish them!"
