The male doctor walked over to Olivia as if Ernest’s existence meant nothing.

  “What did you come here for?”

  “Hehe. As usual, I just wanted to see you. How about it, do you want to go to dinner with me?”

  With the appearance of a languid young man, the male doctor seemed to be trying to seduce Olivia. A horrible laugh occasionally came out of his mouth, and the strange smile on his lips made him look like a real pervert.

  Ernest focused more on the black color on his lower eyelid. It was not uncommon for a doctor to have panda eyes, but from the way he walked and acted, the thought that the doctor was a drug user could not escape his mind.

  “H-how many times do I have to tell you that I’m not interested in going out to dinner with you. Can you come out now!”

  It turned out that it wasn’t only Ernest who put his arm around the shoulders and felt disgusted with the male doctor, Olivia also felt the same way while trying to push the male doctor away.

  From the way Olivia responded to the male doctor’s dinner invitation, he didn’t seem to be Olivia’s superior. Ernest was a little confused as to why he dared to speak like that to Olivia when he was also still in the room.

  “Is it still because of this patient that you refuse my invitation?”

  The male doctor’s finger pointed at Ernest’s face. In his heart, Ernest screamed, why are you bringing me up?

  “How long do you want to justify serving a patient who doesn’t know himself like him? Don’t we just need to kick him out of this place because he’s awake?”

  Just seeing the doctor’s shameless face made Ernest frown, let alone hearing the offensive words that were not pleasant to hear.

  “You’re not the doctor in charge of me, are you? So, could you please not interrupt my consultation session with Dr. Olivia?!”

  Who would have thought that Ernest’s casual remark would trigger the male doctor’s anger?

  Grasp!

  “Know your place, you lowlife scum! Ignorant commoners...” He suddenly came forward and grabbed Ernest’s shirt collar firmly. “It’s good enough we want to take care of bums like you!”

  While speaking with saliva spurting out, he also brought his rotten face so close to Ernest’s that Ernest wanted to vomit.

  “Ugh, do you realize how bad your mouth smells?” Ernest responded in a playful tone.

  When hearing the doctor insult him, Ernest’s mind automatically compared his rude behavior to his experience in the Netherworld.

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  No demon will judge someone based on their opponent’s background. They tend to see other creatures as ‘strong and weak’. Then, they eliminate the weak and worship the strong. Only humans, social creatures, will judge others based on someone’s background.

  Suddenly, the doctor whispered something near Ernest’s ear so Olivia couldn’t hear him. “Since you’ve died once, then it doesn’t matter if you die again, right? That way, I will be able to freely take your internal organs. Just wait.”

  Seeing the doctor quietly whispering threatening words, Ernest could finally conclude that Olivia did not belong to the same group as him.

  “W-what are you doing, Dr. DuPont?” Olivia asked. Although there was still a nervous tone of surprise in her angry words, she seemed serious.

  Turns out, it wasn’t just banging the table while asking, Olivia also took further action. Almost reflexively, Olivia suddenly grabbed one of the hands of the male doctor, who turned out to be named DuPont, who was still clutching Ernest’s collar.

  Olivia’s movement lasted only one blink of an eye.

  “Is this how you treat a patient? How can you call yourself a doctor?”

  “Ugh!”

  Dr. DuPont’s face looked confused. He seemed unable to resist Olivia’s outburst of strength and anger. Unable to fight back, Dr. DuPont could only whimper in pain - turning his confused face into a distorted one.

  Due to the pain from Olivia’s grip, Dr. DuPont was forced to let go of Ernest’s collar and patted Olivia’s hand like a mixed martial arts athlete tapping out.

  Dr. DuPont’s decision to give in to the pain in his hand made him regret it.

  Closing her eyes, Olivia slammed DuPont’s body to the floor using judo moves.

  Bang!

  “Keu-huk!”

  The impact on Dr. DuPont’s back made him short of breath.

  Without waiting for him to react, Olivia ordered him to leave the room.

  Dr. DuPont, who had just woken up while limping, was forced out of the room with a hateful look.

  Dr. DuPont’s hatred was not only directed at Olivia but also at Ernest. “Just wait! I’ll make sure you both pay a heavy price for daring to offend me!” said Dr. DuPont, leaving behind such classic warning words.

  When the tense atmosphere began to decrease, Ernest put back what he had just taken from Olivia’s desk. It was a ballpoint pen.

  Actually, although Ernest responded to Dr. DuPont in a playful tone, when Dr. DuPont had grabbed his collar earlier, he had already reached for the ballpoint pen from Olivia’s desk. He was about to stick it into Dr. DuPont’s eye.

  He did it reflexively, so his mind had not had time to think about the consequences of his actions.

  The self-defense mechanism he had built up after wandering the Netherworld for so long was still functioning, so he did not hesitate to make extreme decisions when someone threatened his safety.

  ‘It’s a good thing that Olivia intervened in time.’

  Because of Olivia’s intervention, he did not shed blood. Otherwise, he might have become a criminal by killing Dr. DuPont.

  A life of wandering while being pursued by the police, or surrendering and living in prison? Whichever option he chose, it promised equal suffering. After all, he wasn’t the protagonist who dared to defy law enforcement with sheer power.

  There were complex laws that humans on Earth had to abide by. That’s why he realized again that he had to be more careful in his actions, unlike in the Netherworld.

  “Ar-are you okay?” Olivia asked Ernest nervously as if her anger from earlier had never surfaced. Feeling concerned for Ernest alone wasn’t enough; she also apologized. “I-I’m sorry for our doctor’s behavior.”

  She bowed deeply to reveal the beautiful valley she had.

  “It’s okay. But, has the standard for doctors dropped?”

  “No.” She raised her head and looked at Ernest firmly. “I also don’t know how someone like him could get in here.”

  “Clearly through connections,” Ernest thought. “Aren’t you afraid he’ll seek revenge?”

  Ernest remembered the DuPont family was prominent in the city of Orlando.

  Before he fell into a vegetative state, he had often heard the DuPont family name.

  But he wasn’t sure how they were doing now because, in just two years, the power map of a big city like Orlando could change drastically.

  Olivia’s eyes widened as if surprised by Ernest’s concern. “No need to worry me, I can defend myself.” She said, while waving her hands shyly.

  “Why didn’t you accept his invitation to dinner? I’m sure having a relationship with someone from a family background like hers is tempting.”

  Ignoring Ernest’s question, Olivia walked to the chair behind her desk. She sat down while crossing her long legs, looking at Ernest with a half-annoyed and half-nervous face. It could be seen from the swooping eyebrows and tapping fingers on the table.

  But it was not for long.
