Chapter 958 Afraid of Backlash
Rather than calling Whitley obedient, he was much smarter than he should be.
“I would have followed you even if you didn’t allow me to.”
Recently, the number of people after him had been increasing exponentially. He didn’t want to drag Carl into his mess, either. It was already hard enough for Carl to raise him while trying to find someone to heal his leg.
They didn’t go to Empathy Clinic for work because they had heard that they would be able to earn more money in Kingbourne. That was why Carl had brought him here.
But it had been a few days since Whitley heard from Carl. That was why he came out of hiding to search
for him.
He had planned to make an exchange with Wynter, but she didn’t want his blood.
Whitley couldn’t help but feel anxious by the situation and unintentionally reflected his feelings on his
face.
Wynter noticed his expression and asked, “Is there something else troubling you?”
“My uncle is missing.”
It was the first time Whitley experienced the feeling of owing someone a favor. Wynter had saved him, yet here he was asking her for her help again, but he didn’t know anyone else who could help him.
“Dr. Genius, could you please help me find him? I’m willing to do anything as long as you help me find him.
Whitley’s eyes glowed with a faint golden hue.
Wynter’s memory was shockingly good, as always. “Your uncle? Carl Wilkinson?”
“That’s him!” Whitley finally made an expression that matched his age.
He was finally able to reveal his emotions as he said, “The amount of herbal medication I need has been Increasing lately. My uncle isn’t a cultivator, so he doesn’t understand how to heal me.
“He came to Kingbourne because he heard he was able to earn a fortune here. But he disappeared ever since he managed to earn 30 grand.
“There’s something wrong with my eyes, too. My vision will fade sometimes, causing me to be temporarily blind.”
Whitley’s hands were shaking as he added, “Dr. Genius, I can make a pact with you if you don’t want my
flesh and blood.
“I’ve read some ancient books that claimed that a Savior would be able to bring their master an abundance of fortune.”
Wynter said, “That’s true. But there haven’t been any voluntary Saviors like you.”
With that said, Wynter seemed to have thought of something as she got up and said, “I’ll think about Carl’s situation. I’m also looking for someone now.
“Your identity is special. This is not the place to have such conversations.”
Whitley seemed to regain hope after hearing Wynter’s words.
Although his leg was injured, he quickly followed behind Wynter when he saw her getting up. But his forehead was quickly drenched from sweat due to the pain.
Wynter did not allow him to continue torturing himself like that and quickly handed him some medication.
On the other hand, she quickly took out her chain with the Epoch Collection attached and tied Fred and his subordinates together.
“Ma’am, could you all help me watch over them until the officers arrive?”
