The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 81

An hour later, the jeep convoy arrived at the military hospital.

However, they bypassed the main reception building and drove about three hundred meters to stop in front of a heavily guarded five-story building.

Reynard, accompanied by a man who appeared to be around fifty years old, stood at the entrance.

As Finnegan stepped out of the vehicle behind Stephen, Reynard greeted him with a smile, “Dr. Larkin, it's been a while.”

Finnegan glanced at him and retorted, “Get out of my way. You're always finding ways to bother me.”

Stephen and Jace exchanged surprised glances, wondering if they had misheard.

After all, Reynard was the head of Regulus Pavilion and ranked in the top five in Loang's military.

Moreover, under his command were the Dragon Team and Phoenix Team, comprised of numerous elite and formidable soldiers. Everyone, except for those more important than him, held immense respect for him!

He was not someone one would tell to “get out of the way.”

What shocked them more was that Reynard didn't seem offended; instead, he chuckled. “I can't help it. There are certain things only you can do, so I had to find you.”

Finnegan's gaze shifted to the other man with Reynard. “Logan, I didn't expect you to level up further since I saw you last. You'll reach the Ether Realm within five years, I suppose?”

Stephen's and Jace's eyes practically popped out of their sockets.

Logan Tree was one of the ten strongest members of the Dragon Team and an Absolute Rank Terra Realm Grandmaster.

Even those from prestigious backgrounds dared not address him directly; they had to use honorifics.

Is this guy really that powerful? Isn't he afraid that Mr. Tree might smack him?

However, Logan seemed unperturbed. Under Stephen and Jace's astonished gazes, he stepped forward and respectfully bowed toward Finnegan. “Thanks to you taking care of me for three months two years ago, Dr. Larkin, I made a full recovery and even went from Postliminary Rank Terra Realm to Absolute Rank!”

Finnegan gave Logan's shoulder a pat. “You're one of the nation's guardians; it's my duty to care for you. Your guidance those three months was pretty enlightening, too.”

After a pause, he grinned playfully. “Oh, and by the way, remember that fifty-year-old vintage wine you mentioned you would offer me when I came out of seclusion? I'll take you up on that offer now. You remember that, right?”

“I've got it ready here waiting for you, Dr. Larkin.”

“Perfect! Tonight's not ideal, though. Let's set it up for tomorrow.”

Finnegan gave Logan another pat on his shoulder, grinning. Then, he shot Reynard a look.

The latter nodded and said, “Dr. Larkin, this way, please!”

As Stephen watched Finnegan and Reynard walk away, he spoke in a hushed tone. “Mr. Tree, is he really Dr. Aiello's disciple? Didn't they say Dr. Aiello only took in a few students?”

Jace chimed in with a question of his own, “Mr. Tree, aren't you and General Reynard being a bit too polite to him? Even if he's Dr. Aiello's disciple, isn't it a bit much?”

As far as Jace could remember, those who patted Logan's shoulder while speaking were all bigwigs.

Logan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with reverence. “He is indeed Dr. Aiello's disciple. However, to protect him, Dr. Aiello only revealed that to a select few. As for the politeness... Apart from his medical skills, there's a reason that I cannot tell you. You'll probably find out someday!”

Upon hearing this, Stephen and Jace exchanged surprised glances, clearly taken aback.

Even with their prestigious backgrounds, they had to wait for the right moment to know the reason?

Is this the sole disciple of the Eternal Medicine God, Sawyer Aiello? He looks so young!
