The Legend of the Miracle Doctor

Chapter 26 Collecting Protection Fees

As they spoke, Brian accidentally glanced at Celine, and when he saw the sight behind her long dress, he almost had a nosebleed, this woman's body was too perfect. A little more would look fat, a little less would look skinny, truly as perfect as the Venus de Milo, with just two slender arms added. Feeling too aroused after just a glance, Brian quickly turned his face away, afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it and have a nosebleed in front of Celine, which would be very embarrassing for him. Seeing Brian's expression and thinking about the scenes with him twice in a row, Celine was surprised. If Brian really had X-ray vision, wouldn't he be able to see everything on her body? Thinking about this, she was scared for a moment, she quickly covered her chest with both hands, and nervously said, "What you said is a lie, right?""Of course it's a lie, how could someone have X-ray vision." Brian quickly made up an excuse for himself and said, "I was just observing more carefully than you, I just saw the tattoo on the man's chest, so I saw it." Hearing what he said, Celine found it reasonable and couldn't help but say with a sigh of relief, "That makes sense, really scared me half to death." Brian secretly looked again at the beautiful sight on the woman's chest, suddenly feeling his face flush and his heart beating fast. This sight was too stimulating for him, he quickly turned his face away. Seeing his reaction, Celine said dissatisfiedly, "Why aren't you looking at me? Am I ugly?" Brian silently complained in his heart, Women are really strange creatures, looking is wrong, not looking is also wrong, what does she really want? Fortunately, they quickly arrived at the parking lot, Celine got into the car and drove away, Brian returned to his hotel room. Compared to the dormitory, the hotel conditions were much better, the most important thing was the peace and not worrying about being disturbed while cultivating. The next morning, he left the hotel feeling refreshed and hurried to his mother's breakfast stall. Gina's cooking skills were very good, after Brian had breakfast at various stalls, none could compare to the steamed buns made by his mother. Brian didn't eat rice, he wanted to enjoy the breakfast made by his mother herself, while also helping her out. Gina's breakfast stall was quite far from here, located in the eastern village area, which had long been evicted for relocation, but no one had moved. Gina was evicted from her home by Brian's uncles three years ago, so she came to Jasin City to rent a small house of just over ten square meters to sell breakfast. She worked hard to make a living to put Brian and his younger sibling through school. Brian's younger sibling, Jenny Osman, was one year younger than Brian, she was currently studying at Jamana City University. Children of the poor mature faster, even though Jenny was on summer vacation, she was also working while studying, so she didn't come back. Thinking about how good Gina had been to him over the years, Brian felt touched. Even though he was an adopted child, his mother always treated him as her own, even better than her own biological daughter. The neighborhood was very poor, the buildings around were dilapidated and the roadside ditches smelled bad. In addition, it had rained last night, making the streets muddy. Brian frowned as he walked, Gina rented here because it was cheap. Fortunately, she was already wealthy and had her own restaurant, so his mother and younger sister would not suffer in the future. Upon Gina's return from TCM Hospital in Jasin, her previous dizziness had disappeared, and she became enthusiastic and energetic in doing everything, as if suddenly becoming a teenager. She woke up early in the morning to sell steamed buns. Because her steamed buns were delicious and had many regular customers, dozens of steamed bun baskets were quickly sold. While she was busy, four or five poorly dressed thugs came to her steamed bun stall. "Boss, your stall is crowded, huh!" Said the head thug wearing a floral shirt and a man with a mohawk hairstyle. Seeing these people, Gina's expression tensed, then she said with a smile, "Brother, my steamed bun stall may look crowded but actually doesn't make much profit." "Have you guys eaten? The freshly cooked steamed buns are still hot, just eat them." The man with the mohawk hairstyle said, "Stop talking nonsense, when will you pay this month's protection fee?" "Please give me a few more days. I really haven't made a profit recently, and I just got out of the hospital." The man with the mohawk hairstyle's expression quickly turned cold, he shouted arrogantly, "What deadline, what does your hospitalization have to do with us? As long as you're alive, the protection fee will not decrease!" A hint of anger appeared on Gina's face, but she held back, then took out 200 thousand from the canvas bag around her waist and said, "Brother, I only sold this much for today." The blonde thug next to her took the 200 thousand and said, "Even this is not enough to chase away beggars, you should at least pay two million this month." Gina pleaded, "I only make 4-6 million a month from selling these steamed buns. I still have to eat and pay for my children's school fees, where do I get that much money?" The man with the mohawk hairstyle shouted, "Damn, don't you have a brain? Don't you know what's more important? This money is collected by Mr. Marco, are your children's education more important or Mr. Marco's pride more important?" The blonde thug kicked the basket next to him, and the snow-white steamed buns fell to the ground. "If you can't pay the protection fee, why are you still selling steamed buns, you don't need to sell anymore." Seeing these thugs being unreasonable, the vendors nearby were very angry, but they knew that these people were Mr. Marco's henchmen, the head thug in the eastern area. At this moment, Mr. Ardi, who was selling fried dough sticks, said, "Gina has to raise two children on her own, it's really not easy, maybe you can give her a few more days." "What few days! The children she's raising are not mine, what's it got to do with me?" said the man with the mohawk hairstyle arrogantly. "If you keep interfering, I will destroy your fried dough stick stand too." Mr. Ardi sighed and didn't say anything else. Although he sympathized with Gina, he really couldn't offend these people. The man with the mohawk hairstyle said to the blonde thug, "Get that bag, see if there's any money." The blonde thug nodded and approached Gina, reaching out to grab the canvas bag around her waist. Gina's expression changed drastically. The 40 million given by Brian was in this bag. She quickly stretched out her hand to protect the bag. "What are you doing, you can't touch this bag...." The man with the mohawk hairstyle shouted, "So you do have money after all, just take it." The blonde thug reached out and grabbed the canvas bag. Although Gina tried her best to protect it, how could she fight against a big man? After a brief struggle, the blonde thug grabbed the canvas bag and pulled it forcefully, the bag immediately tore into two pieces and four bundles of one hundred thousand bills and some coins fell out. "He may have money, but he still pretends to be poor." The blonde man scolded him and took the four bundles of one hundred thousand rupiah bills, but at that moment a large foot appeared out of nowhere and stepped on his hand.
