Chapter 118 – The first patient

Dinner was bought by Alfred on his way back, with pancakes, roasted chicken, and vegetable salad.

It must be said that Alfred truly understood his young master's tastes and did not buy cream bread to pair with the roast meat.

However, for Karun, he was more accustomed to something simple, such as pork head meat, beef jerky, peanuts, and cold dishes.

But even if this kind of combination could be bought outside, the difference in taste was still huge.

Everyone sat down to eat together.

Karun reminded Hilly, "The cats and dogs at home need to be treated the same as humans."

Alfred explained, "The cat needs a cup of coffee in the morning and afternoon every day. If we're not home at noon, you need to prepare a meal for the cat, as delicate as possible. Afternoon tea and fresh fruit platters are a must."

"As for the dog... when you prepare for the cat, prepare for the dog too, but it can be a little less fancy than the cat."

"Woof!" The golden retriever protested.

Puerh was happy at first, but then she was shocked: Oh no, the radio monster is dividing our alliance!

Karun had always been generous with taking care of Puerh and Kevin, but as for other things, such as Hilly's salary and treatment, Karun didn't ask. He believed that Alfred would arrange it properly.

With a monthly salary of 10,000 Rael, Karun could afford to have a few more maids. After all, this was York City, one of the most prosperous cities in the world, with too many wealthy people who complained about nothing.

After eating a little, Karun went upstairs to lie in bed and read the newspaper. The heating in the house couldn't be turned on until tomorrow, and there was nothing more comfortable than being in bed at night.

The golden retriever didn't need to be told and brought the newspaper over and turned on the radio.

Karun began to read the newspaper. He liked the Wein Daily because it was not a regional newspaper. Although it devoted a portion of its pages to reporting on Wein's news, most of the news was focused on the outside world, and it could be considered an "International Times" newspaper.

In other words, Wein, as an empire with a vast colonial territory, its major news events were already a kind of "international news."

The York King was hospitalized after participating in a series of coronation ceremonies.

Karun smiled. Older people were most afraid of change. Perhaps if they continued to operate according to inertia, they could live a long time, but if they were forced to change, even if it was towards something beneficial for their health, it could lead to an early end.

People were like this, and so were countries... even the church.

"A rebellion has emerged in the Kotak region, attacking a town and establishing a temporary government."

The Kotak region was mostly desert in the southern continent, which had always been a colonial battlefield for empires like Wein. Various empires had waged wars here to seize the land of the indigenous people.

However, the report also pointed out that the rebellion in the Kotak region was originally intended to negotiate with the Wein government for an autonomous region and partial autonomy. But after the queen's death, the rebel organization seemed to have received support from other empires and abandoned peaceful means.

As he continued to read the newspaper, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Hilly walked in with a broom.

"Sir, I've cleaned up everywhere else. I'll clean here too."

Although Karun was a little surprised, he still nodded. Puerh silently raised her head and stared at Hilly.Shili started cleaning. Actually, she regretted it a bit now because she didn't have any experience as a maid, so she didn't think beforehand that it was not appropriate for her to enter the bedroom to clean, especially when the master was still lying in bed.

But she completely ignored this due to her head being heated by the idea of working hard to repay her employer for such a high salary.

But if she left now, it would be even more awkward, so she had to continue cleaning.

Karun looked at her back as she swept the floor there.

Huh?

Was she wearing jeans in the afternoon?

Especially when she bent over, the curve that came out...

How to put it, not to mention men, even women couldn't help but take a few more glances.

However, Karun still lifted the newspaper to cover his sight. She had an engagement, and Unis had touched her legs. It was really inappropriate to have any other thoughts while she was living alone outside.

It was not that "looking" was a sin, but his gaze might put pressure on this new girl and make her think too much.

Puerh was originally snuggling next to Karun with her eyes closed. After Shili came in, she also looked at her. While looking, the newspaper that Karun picked up also blocked her sight.

Puerh extended her claws somewhat dissatisfied, wanting to press down the newspaper, but Karun pulled up the quilt and covered her cat face.

After cleaning, Shili walked to the door and bowed to Karun:

"I'm sorry, sir, I have no experience. I will clean during the day next time."

"It's okay. Are you leaving now?"

"Yes."

"Let Alfred drive you home."

"My home is not far from here. I can walk back by myself without bothering Mr. Alfred."

"It's too late now, and it's not safe for you to go back alone. You can go home after dinner starting from tomorrow."

"Yes, sir, you are really a good person."

"Hmm."

Karun continued to read the newspaper, and Shili went out and closed the bedroom door.

"I don't believe you're not itching." Puerh whispered, "Staying by your side will inevitably make mistakes."

"Do you want to dismiss her?" Karun asked, "At least let's see how the coffee and meals she prepares for you tomorrow are before deciding, right?"

"You make a good point." Puerh was convinced.

She was captivated by Karun with "sour fish" and "squirrel fish" before. This old cat still had the temperament of a young lady.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow."

Going to work tomorrow,

Hmm, it's a phrase that's so distant, so strange, yet so familiar.

Kevin crawled out of the doghouse, turned off the radio first, and then the light.

Puerh kicked her legs in the quilt and stopped making a fuss, calming down.

Karun pressed the quilt towards his neck and said:

"Goodnight."

"Woof~"

"Meow~"

...

At six o'clock in the morning, Karun got up, washed up, changed into the clothes he bought back yesterday, and walked downstairs.

To Karun's surprise, Shili was already in the house.

"Master, Shili came early to make breakfast."

Breakfast was simple, buttered bread, fried eggs, mini sausages, and hot milk.

Karun sat down, had breakfast, and said to Shili, who was still picking up a rag for another round of detailed cleaning:

"I'll teach you how to cook when I have time one day."

"Yes, Master, thank you, Master."

Karun still preferred to have noodles or lean pork congee for breakfast. Speaking of congee..."Alfred, remember to buy some jars to pickle the vegetables when you have time."

"Yes, young master. I'll go buy them," Shili replied.

"Okay, the expenses will come from Alfred."

"It's not necessary, the jars are not expensive."

"This is the rule. Unless you don't want to stay here, you have to follow the rules," Alfred reminded.

"Yes, sir. I understand."

Alfred drove the car and took Karun to the nearby tram station. After parking the car, Alfred bought tickets and accompanied Karun onto the tram.

Unless there was a traffic accident ahead, there was no need to worry about traffic jams on the tram. However, the problem was... there were so many people on the tram, even more crowded than taking the subway to work in future metropolises.

If it wasn't for Alfred using his body to hold back the crowd behind them, Karun felt like he was a can of sardines being transported, swaying and squeezing all the way to their destination.

Therefore, after getting off the tram, Karun said, "Let's drive to work in the future. I'll wake up an hour earlier and avoid the rush hour."

"Okay, young master. I think this is a wise choice."

Taking the elevator to the 21st floor, when they arrived at the front desk, the receptionist greeted Karun warmly. Then, Basha came out and hooked Karun's arm, taking him to meet his colleagues.

Karun didn't know if these colleagues remembered him or not, but he didn't remember any of them.

Afterwards, Basha took Karun to his office, which was not very big, with a black main color and soft lighting. Karun was satisfied with the environment.

"The box contains your work uniform and work badge. The uniform is not mandatory to wear. Also, this phone can call outside, and your phone can call the secretary's office. You can ask them to bring you anything you need."

"Okay, thank you."

Basha pressed the phone on the desk, "Hello, please bring a glass of ice water."

"Okay."

Soon, a female secretary came in with a glass of ice water and placed it on Karun's desk.

Karun sat down behind his desk and asked, "When can I arrange to see patients?"

"You don't have to be anxious. Normal appointments need to be made in advance. I will confirm the contact time with you at least one day in advance."

"What about today?" Karun asked, "Do I have nothing to do today?"

"Unless something unexpected happens, yes. Also, there is one thing I need to remind you. You don't have to come so early in the future. You can come when it's time for the appointment because your doctor's score level is the same as the boss, so you can enjoy the same freedom as the boss."

"Okay, I understand, but I still hope you can arrange patients for me earlier."

After all, living on a basic salary seemed a little insufficient.

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

Karun also wanted to earn more money and send it to his uncle to pay off the mortgage earlier.

"In that case, there is a customer who is suitable for you. I can arrange it for you."

"Okay."

"The customer will come in about half an hour. Is that okay with you?"

"Yes."

Basha walked out of Karun's office, and Karun put his hands on the armrests of the chair, looking at his desk.

Through the slit of the Venetian blinds, he could see people working in the cubicles outside.

This feeling was familiar, very familiar. He worked like this in his past life.Opening the drawer, there were only some blank notebooks and documents inside.

"There should be a gun in there."

Although Alfred sat in the waiting room when Karun was at work, he was still in the waiting room after all.

Karun raised his finger and shook it in front of him. Fortunately, he still had some resistance now. The "Punishment Gun" could still explode.

The only problem was that his current ability was extreme. Either he piled up turtle shells or he exploded with one shot. He couldn't be as calm as his grandfather.

Of course, Karun didn't expect to become like his grandfather directly, but according to the process of the Order of the Gods, he could only fight after becoming a judge.

He still had a long way to go.

The divine awakening had arrived, and the next step was divine herding.

Karun picked up a blank notebook and drew a large water tank on it, and then drew a very thin pipe.

His current problem was that the water tank was large and the savings were also large, but the water outlet was too small. The size of the pipe outlet was divided according to divine awakening, divine herding, and judge.

In other words, when he reached the level of a judge, his pipe outlet would finally be enlarged to a basic usable level, and then he could rely on his savings...basically the same level as a judge...

Even if he used the most foolish method, an artificer could use it three times in a row before exhausting his strength, but he could use it more than ten times. The advantage was so obvious.

At this time, the office door was knocked.

Karun turned the page of the notebook. He didn't want the patient to see the pictures he drew and mistake this psychological doctor for studying prostate problems.

The door was pushed open, and Puerh walked in.

Karun looked behind her and asked, "Where's the patient?"

Puerh pointed to herself and smiled, "It's me. I just went to the front desk to handle the formalities. For the next two hours, you are the doctor and I am the patient. Your time belongs to me."

"Are you kidding?"

"No, I'm serious. From yesterday's situation, I think you can see that I'm abnormal and need your treatment."

"I'm sorry for what I said to you yesterday. It was a misunderstanding."

Puerh nodded and said, "Yes, many people have a natural misunderstanding of us."

Us?

Puerh sat down in front of Karun and smiled, "Actually, light has always been right. People's yearning for light is also innate."

Light?

Puerh continued, "I don't know why I chose light. Maybe it chose me. I feel proud and proud because I can bathe in its light and feel the warmth and care it brings me. Mr. Karun, what do you think?"

What do I think?

Karun looked at Puerh. This feeling was like the first day he went to work, and his colleagues were eager to preach to him.

If it weren't for Karun's clear understanding of Piajia's identity and his character, if it were another boss, Karun would really think he had entered a cult nest.

But she said it was light.

Karun thought of the room he was living in now, and the crow that Puerh and the Golden Retriever caught that night.

The remnants of the Bright God's religion are in front of me?

"Is Piajia also your person?" Karun asked.

When did Piajia start to believe in the religion of the Bright God?

"No, but he is important to us and is an opportunity for the revival of light." Puerh answered.The reason she was so frank with Karun was that she assumed he had already figured out her and her group's identities.

"Piajie is my friend, I don't want him to be in any danger."

"Of course not. The boss is a good person and a very charming person. I don't need you to remind me, I won't harm him. But according to the guidance of the Light, we can wait for an opportunity here."

"What opportunity?"

"We don't know. It could be a sign, a direction, a sentence, or even a person. Maybe it's the boss himself, or maybe it's someone the boss is waiting for."

"I know the boss has been waiting for someone. There's a picture of him in his drawer, but the boss doesn't know who he is."

"We used our own energy to investigate, but there are too many people in York City. How could we find him? Even if we found some clues from that old photo of the boss, the person's identity was lost during that year. Obviously, he deliberately concealed his identity."

"Hehe."

"Mr. Karun, why are you laughing?"

"I almost thought you were waiting for me."

"Hehehe." Basha also laughed, "You have nothing to do with the Light."

"Of course, of course."

Karun nodded, but the scene of his "purification" appeared in his mind, especially the majestic voice:

"Order, come out and see me!"

Karun opened the box that had not been moved before. In addition to a white work uniform, there was also his work badge with his name on it:

Karun Silva.

"Mr. Karun, I think I have been frank enough. I am a follower of the Light, staying with the boss, first because of his charm, and second, because we are waiting for that person to appear by his side."

"What about you?"

"I know you and the boss are good friends. The boss said he met you while taking a walk in the suburbs, introduced by his deceased wife."

"But I don't think you just came here to see a friend, so can you be as frank as I am, given my honesty?"

Met Linda while taking a walk?

Then Piajie definitely didn't tell you that there was a crematorium in the suburbs, and I was holding Linda's ashes.

"If I tell you, it's because I need money, so I saw Piajie's clinic advertisement in the newspaper and came here to work and earn a salary to support myself... You probably don't believe it, do you?"

"Hmm." Basha nodded, "I'm glad you're not trying to deceive me with such a lousy lie."

Then I have to find another lie to deceive you.

Karun smiled and nodded.

"But I think you are also deliberately hiding your identity. Maybe you have a similar situation to us."

Karun put his hands on his chest and made a motion to praise, but in his mind he was thinking:

Praise the Order?

This won't work. It's risky, and he doesn't want to openly associate himself with the Order of the Gods. Moreover, the Order of the Gods is a legitimate religion, and it's not convenient to hide. There's no way to create a "secret" relationship with each other, especially since Basha has already designed a "context" for him to have a similar situation.

Praise Rui Liersa?

This won't work either. The other side may know that Linda, Piajie's wife, is a follower of the Wall God, and even the "opportunity" mentioned by the other side may be related to the Wall God. If he claims to be a follower of the Wall God, it's easy to collide and be exposed.

So who should he praise?Karun suddenly thought of a fat man who liked to eat "spring rolls" - Mr. Okka.

He remembered that night when Mr. Okka confessed that he had borrowed the help of operating the Berry Church in Vienna to preach in exchange for the Berry Church priest's help in killing someone.

And the Berry Church was indeed excluded by the mainstream society because of some historical events. Even in Rui Lan, they were not allowed to preach openly.

This was a church that, although belonging to the orthodox, had always been discriminated against and suppressed. Linda had been disguising herself as a "Berry Church believer" for many years.

Karun spoke up:

"The guidance of the Nature Goddess has given the opportunity for the development of the Berry Church's preaching, which is on my good friend Piajie. So my task is to protect Piajie and wait for the opportunity to come."

Then, Karun closed his eyes and devoutly said:

"Praise nature!"
