Upon returning home, Ferguson was about to lodge a complaint with Travis. But before Ferguson could even find him, Travis’ men arrived.
“Mr. Doyle, what happened to you?”
“I got beaten up by an old geezer. Take me to see Mr. Lloyd immediately,” Ferguson said furiously.
“Mr. Doyle, Mr. Lloyd is in a hurry for you to bring the healer back. Where is he?”
“Healer, my foot. He’s just a doctor. That bastard’s the one who beat me up,” Ferguson said through his gritted teeth.
Ferguson soon met with Travis. When Travis saw him in this state, he was equally surprised. “Mr. Doyle, what happened to you? Who dared to beat you up like this?” Travis asked curiously.
“Mr. Lloyd, you must stand up for me!” Ferguson exclaimed. He looked like a bullied child returning home to his parents in Travis’ eyes. Tears streamed down Ferguson’s face as he cried in sorrow and grievance.
“You’re a grown man. Stop crying and speak properly,” Travis said impatiently.
Wiping his tears, Ferguson said, “Mr. Lloyd, I went to get that so-called healer for you. Who would’ve thought that old geezer would be so arrogant? He slapped me the moment I approached him.
“I wanted to teach him a lesson, but he turned out to be very skilled. I couldn’t handle him, so…” Ferguson embellished the story as he recounted it.
He continued, “Mr. Lloyd, that old geezer doesn’t take the Lloyds seriously at all. If we don’t deal with him, how will we maintain our dignity?”
“How dare he strike someone from the Lloyd family? Such audacity!” Travis exclaimed as a cold glint flashed in his eyes. But then, he thought of something. “He’s a healer and so powerful. He might be a hidden master.
“Here’s what we’ll do. Bring him over to treat me first. If he can cure my illness, we’ll let this slide. If not, I’ll let you handle him as you see fit.”
“What? But…” Ferguson was displeased. He wanted nothing more than to tear Sebastian to pieces. Yet, Travis was asking him to invite Sebastian over. This made Ferguson feel utterly
