Chapter 1186

The elderly woman shifted slightly and said, "How do I feel? Hmm… Nothing unusual. Just… my body feels incredibly light, and I suddenly have so much energy." Hearing this, the shop owner immediately turned to his wife. "Quick! Take her to the hospital for a full check-up!" His wife didn't dare to delay and quickly left with the elderly woman. The shop owner then turned to Toby, his eyes filled with disbelief. Toby approached the shop owner and said, "Your mother's illness has been cured. Now, shouldn't you keep your word and return the one million dollars to me?" "She's really cured?" The owner still found it hard to believe. A four-year-old had simply inserted a few needles and managed to cure cancer? That sounded impossible. "Your wife already took her to the hospital, didn't she? You'll have your answer soon enough," Toby said. "I'll wait here for the results. In the meantime, I have something else to deal with." With that, he approached Manfred, whose shock had yet to fade. Toby's expression was ice-cold. "I'm done here. Now, it's time to deal with you. Tell me—how do you want to die?" Manfred finally snapped back to reality, his voice dripping with venom as he snarled, "Hmph! A mere parlor trick. Do you think knowing a bit of medicine makes you special? Do you think you can take me down? I don't waste my time on little brats. Get out of my way, or I'll make you regret it." Toby furrowed his brows and remained silent for a long moment. Then, after what felt like an eternity, he sighed. "Why choose to be a beast when you could've been a decent person? Since you refuse to follow Shadowbane's rules, I'll be the one to enforce them." Without warning, Toby moved like a shadow, seizing Manfred's arm and yanking it with force. A sickening snap echoed through the room. Manfred clutched his shattered arm, his face contorting in agony. He staggered back, and his rage flared into a snarl. "You little bastard! You dare break my arm? You're as good as dead!" With his uninjured hand, he pulled a silver needle from his pocket and hurled it straight at Toby. Toby's eyes narrowed, and an icy chill radiated from his entire being. Unforgivable! This man deserved to die. He had actually used a silver needle as a weapon to kill. Lily had used silver needles to take lives too, but only those who were evil. She had also taught him and Tilly that in life-threatening situations, they could use silver needles to defend themselves. He and Tilly never use silver needles on others unless absolutely necessary. Yet Manfred had taken something Lily had treasured and twisted it into a tool for murder. Toby moved with lightning speed, closing the distance between him and Manfred instantly. Before Manfred could even register what was happening, his limbs had already been dislocated. With his legs rendered useless, he collapsed to the ground, utterly defenseless. As he struggled to grasp his predicament, Toby flicked a silver needle at him, his expression icy and merciless. "Initially, I only planned to break your limbs as a lesson. If you had acted fast enough, a doctor could've reattached them. But now, you've lost that chance. From this moment on, you'll live among the dogs." With that, Toby let out a sharp whistle. Almost instantly, several men in black entered the room. One of them stepped forward respectfully, greeting Toby, "Trace." Toby's voice was cold and unwavering. "Throw him into the dogfighting pit. Keep watch—don't let him die." The men flinched slightly. This was the first time Trace had ordered someone to be thrown into the pit. Clearly, Manfred had committed an unforgivable crime. "Understood." Without hesitation, they seized Manfred and dragged him away. Not a single extra word was spoken. Had the head of Aeston been present, he would have immediately recognized these men—they were the very ones leading Heaven's Gate in their battle to seize his territory.
