Chapter 554: You Must Live with Me

Tina looked at Master Tam; to say she held no resentment would be a lie. The death of her master had always been a sore spot for Tina, as she felt it was her inadequate medical skills that failed to save him. For a long time, Tina had been mired in self-doubt, blaming herself for her master's death. Besides Natalie, her master was the most important person to her, and his death had dealt her a significant blow.

Master Tam immediately compromised, thinking that eighty million dollars was already a lot; if it turned into eighty billion, wouldn't that truly be the end of him? "Girl, I was being hunted and had no choice but to fake my death to escape. I didn't want to drag you all into this, so I resorted to this last resort," Master Tam said as he rolled up his sleeve. A long scar was visible on his right arm. The scar was black around the edges and extremely deep, as deep as half a coin. Such a scar was clearly inflicted by a special kind of blade, and the blade was poisoned!

A flash of surprise crossed Tina's eyes as she quickly took Master Tam's hand, looking at the scar with distress, "You were poisoned, why didn't you ever tell me! Do you... do you have someone by your side who can cure this poison?" After examining the scar closely, Tina noticed that though it was gruesome, it was healing, and the blackness was residual poison that was no longer life-threatening.

Master Tam withdrew his arm and nodded, "Yes, there's a master friend of mine, I'll introduce you when the time comes."

Tina furrowed her brows. She was a medical genius, known as Spectre. But she knew that this poison was beyond her ability to cure. Were there really people in this country with medical skills superior to hers? It wasn't that Tina thought herself the best in the world, but such a skilled person was someone she had never heard of before. It was truly strange.

Over the years, as far as she knew, her master had no friends. The only person her master had ever called a friend was her mother. Even before her mother died, she had never met the master, which indicated that even if he had many friends in the past, he chose not to keep any connections with them.

Her master, who would boast about an exceptionally intelligent bird for half a month, how could he keep such a skilled friend a secret?

Master Tam, noticing Tina's scrutinizing gaze, picked up his teacup and took a sip, "You little rascal, why are you staring at me like that?"

Tina snatched the teacup from Master Tam's hands and asked, "Who exactly is this master friend of yours? And who are the people hunting you down, forcing you to fake your own death? There can't be many in this world who could push you to such an extent."

Master Tam smacked his lips, "Look at you, still so impatient. Listen to me, I'll explain slowly."

Taking a deep breath, Master Tam continued, "The people hunting me, you might have heard of them, are from the hidden families."

Tina and Jared were both startled, "People from the hidden families?"
