Chapter 62 Hades Pharmacy Chapter 62 Hades Pharmacy Jensen froze for a moment at Hansel's words. If that were true, then the black market was surprisingly clean. +20 Free Coins But if it was so clean, why call it a black market at all? Why not just open a legitimate auction house and make money that way? A moment later he understood. A proper auction required detailed registration, making it impossible to fully hide the powers behind it. No matter how careful they were, there'd always be a trail to follow. But the black market was different-chaotic, full of every sort of person.
It looked like multiple factions tangled together, yet in truth there had to be one powerful force controlling it from the shadows, So who was really behind this place? And did it have anything to do with Natalie? And what role did Witch Doctor play? Jensen's mind spun. Before long, he and Hansel arrived at the entrance to Witch Doctor's shop. "Hades Pharmacy?" Jensen murmured, frowning at the black signboard with gold lettering. Hansel quickly explained, "Yes, this is his shop. Witch Doctor's skills are legendary-especially in surgery.
People say there's nothing he can't do, nothing he can't repair. That's why he's called Witch Doctor. He's not like any ordinary doctor. And this sign? He chose the name himself. They say it's called Hades Pharmacy because his price isn't money. He always demands the most precious thing a person has. As long as they're willing to give it up, he'll save them." Jensen's jaw tightened. He had never investigated Witch Doctor in depth. All he'd known was that the man's medical skill was extraordinary.
Five years ago, when doctors had given up on him and told his family to prepare for his funeral, Natalie had somehow tracked Witch Doctor down and dragged him back to perform surgery. She'd pulled him out of the jaws of death. And yet, Witch Doctor was a thorn that had lodged in his heart ever since. He demanded the most precious thing. And Natalie... what could she possibly have had that was so precious? 1/3 1:02 pm Chapter 62 Hades Pharmacy +20 Free Coins She had been alone, with nothing-no family wealth, no protection. Nothing but her beautiful face and her perfect figure.
Jensen couldn't think of anything else. So what had she given away that day? Hansel saw the storm brewing in Jensen's eyes and wisely kept silent. He never spoke carelessly when he didn't know the truth. Jensen forced himself to take a deep breath, shoving his thoughts down. Then he stepped forward into Hades Pharmacy. From the outside, the shop looked plain. But inside, the lavish interior gleamed with the world's most expensive materials. Witch Doctor clearly wasn't hurting for money. Of course not. A man the whole world fought to hire wouldn't ever be short of cash.
Jensen's expression darkened. Besides money, he truly had nothing else left to offer. At that moment, a guard stepped in front of him and Hansel. "Who are you? What do you want here?" Hansel quickly bowed, speaking before Jensen could. "Hello. We've come to request an audience with Witch Doctor." Jensen stiffened at Hansel's deferential tone. In Ocean City, he was king. For five years he'd commanded storms with a word. When had he ever needed to bow to anyone? The guard studied Jensen, clearly noting the pride in his eyes and the aura of command about him. Then the man smirked.
"To see Witch Doctor, there are rules. Which of you is the one seeking him?" "Me." Jensen's voice was flat. His body still ached from the earlier beating, but he forced himself to stand tall. The guard nodded, "Very well. The one seeking Witch Doctor stays. The other waits outside." Hansel hesitated, but Jensen gave him a look. Hansel bowed once more and stepped out. When the door closed, the guard pointed to a shallow basin of clear water beside them. "Anyone who wishes to see Witch Doctor must first place both hands in this water for ten minutes.
If you can endure it, you earn the right to meet him. If not, you may leave, Mr. Luke." Jensen's brows knit as the man addressed him by name. He glanced at the basin. The water was so clear he could see the bottom. What game was this? 2/3 1:02 pm £ Chapter 62 Hades Pharmacy "Everyone has to do this?" he asked. "Of course." The answer made Jensen's thoughts snap to Natalie. "Women too?" +20 Free Coins "Even children, even the elderly. No one is spared. It's the gate you pass before seeing Witch Doctor. Endure ten minutes, or turn back." The smug tone scraped against Jensen's pride.
But he swallowed it down. He had to see Witch Doctor. Somehow, this man was tied to Natalie. For her, Jensen would do it. Without another word, he stripped off his suit jacket, tossed it onto a chair, rolled up his sleeves, and lowered both hands into the basin of water. 1:02 pm S
