Chapter 152 - Searching For A Physician

Keeping watch as he begins to watch the pursuer as he tries to get close to them but due to the rocky path they are traveling on, it makes it difficult for him to catch up to them. wiping the reins with more force as the horse increases its speed but before he could get any further to them, a small jar was thrown at him, and with a smirk, he waved his hand as the jar was smashed in mid-air but it didn't take him long enough for him to regret his actions as the content inside the jar exploded with a green smoke spreading out of it and since is in the range of the explosion, his skin begins to erode. Having no choice on how to get away from the smoke since the horse he was riding has already lost it.

Seeing how he is going to die if he doesn't get away from the smoke, Berry quickly jumps off the horse before taking out some pills from his storage ring as he pops it into his mouth while watching his horse struggling for a bit before dying. Now looking at his skin as it still looks the same as it was after coming in contact with the smoke.

"What kind of poison is this that just won't go away even after taking a pill" said Berry with a frown on his face.

Seeing that their pursuer has stopped after Jason threw whatever it was that is in the jar at him, Clara let out a sigh of relief but then again she couldn't help but turn her gaze at Jason who has a proud smile on his face as she begins to wonder. 

'I wonder where he got that thing from, for it to bring down a horse and at the same time stop that man from passing through'.

Letting the matter go for now, Clara led the way as they took another path after losing their pursuer before facing their actual path to the capital. And seeing that he has lost his target, Berry let out a bitter roar before taking his leave.

"Now that I know what they look like, I need to head back home and get a picture of them to make the search easy and as for this wound, maybe the physician would be able to do something about it" said Berry as he made his way out of the path.

Meanwhile on the road to the Capital was all smiles as he said to the bracelet happily.

"I can't believe it actually works, maybe I should try using it another time".

"You can use it when your opponent least expects it but the problem is, I don't think that you would be able to use it more than once since you are already short of supply" replied the bracelet.

"As long as I would be able to avoid getting caught by my enemies, it doesn't matter if I only used it once" said Jason. 

After riding for some hours, they were finally able to see the capital from Africa and by then their mother's condition had worsened.

"We need to get inside quickly and have your wound treated as soon as possible" said Jason with a worried look on his face as he turned his gaze to look at the towering buildings that were ahead of them.

"I can still hold on so you don't have to worry about me" replied Clara with a painful look on his face.

Knowing her mother to be the type of person who won't let others worry about her, Jason decided to be silent about the whole thing as they continue to make their way toward the capital which took them about fifteen minutes to get there and unlike the fox family, there was a multitude of people standing outside with guards standing outside as they go about checking those that want to get inside the capital and to Jason surprise the weakest of the guard seem to be in the gold core realm.

"The security here is very tight" mutters Jason with a shocked look on his face. 

"That is because unlike the other family territory, the capital is been governed by the minister who was appointed by his majesty granting the other family with no privilege over its property and since they are not under the protection of the families, they have to hire some able men who would be able to protect the capital from the attack of bandit" replied Clara as she fills Jason in on the information about the capital.

"But don't you think that they are going too far in checking everyone that is going inside" asked Jason with a frown since their job is just to fend off the bandit who has the intention of raiding the capital.

"Not at all since the bandits could also disguise themselves so it is appropriate for the guards to make sure that those that came in here are those who want to reside or came for business" replied Clara.

Thinking about what his mother just said, Jason finds it right for them to do just that but then again if those from the Wallace family were to come here, would they be classified as a threat to the capital. With this thought in mind, Jason turned to his mother to clarify but the answer he got from his mother was also what he had been expecting.

After something, it was finally their turn to get checked by the guard which didn't take them long enough to get access inside and getting inside the capital, Jason couldn't help but be awed by the structure of the buildings, market place and others making him feel like he is in another world but it all came to a stop when his mother suddenly throw up.

"Are you okay mother" asked Jason worriedly as he rush forward to check on her.

"Yes I am fine Jason" replied Clara as she wiped the stain of blood off her lips.

"You need to get her treated as soon as possible before things get worse" advises the bracelet.

Not daring to linger to look around the place as he move forward while asking around where they could get a physician which did not cause them much time to find where they could get one as they race to the location that was pointed out to them but what they saw when they got to the building that they could get one, they once again saw a crowd of people standing there as if waiting to get treated.

"What is wrong with this place anyway" said Jason with gritted teeth before coming down from his horse as he went to the place that is most crowded to see if he could get a physician.

But to his surprise, the reason why they were crowded was just to get their name written down as soon as possible to meet the physician.

"Please everyone, I don't know if you will be so willing to let us see the physician first because my mother here is very injured" pleaded Jason as he pointed at his mother who was struggling to get off the horse.

"I am sorry boy but the rules here are simple, first come first serve. Who cares if your mother is going to die in a minute" said a young man with a bulky body.

"Yeah, do you think it is easy getting an appointment with the physicians in this place" added another from the crowd.

"I know it isn't easy but you can see the state that she is in and if she doesn't get treated soon enough, it won't be the same as what you are all saying" said Jason as he continues to beg the crowd.

"Like we said kid, nobody cares about your issues and as you can see, we are also here to get treated as well so enough with the babyface and get in line" said someone from the crowd.

Seeing that no one was willing to step down for his mother to get treated, Jason decided to walk out of the place in search of someone who could help his mother but before he could take a step forward, a low voice rang out of the midst of the crowd and turning around to see who it was only for Jason to notice a blond girl with blue eyes standing not far from him while wearing a white robe with a badge on the chest which has the imprint of a flower who seems to be around his age.

"Just take a look at these guys, an apprentice in training is about to treat her first patient" said a slime man who had one of his eyes swallowed as he laughed at the lady who just said she could help.

"Shut up you fool it is just a wound, if I can't treat something like these, then I am not fit to be called an apprentice" replied the lady as she barked back at the man who was making fun of her not quite long.
