The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 173

The slap stunned everyone present. Lucas' henchmen stood there as if they'd seen a ghost.

Layla's expression was equally shocked. Her father, Andy Crane, always spoke of Ansel with the highest respect, praising his wisdom, esteemed status, and mysterious background. But why was he suddenly hitting someone?" Clutching his cheek, Lucas stared at Ansel in disbelief. "You... you hit me? My dad sent me here to ask you to be my mentor... I've shown you nothing but respect. And just because of someone-"

Ansel's hand cut through the air again, silencing Lucas mid-sentence with another slap.

He scolded, "You may not have shown me disrespect, but you disrespected this man. Let me tell you, even if your father dared to show him any disrespect, I'd still slap him!"

Lucas was completely taken aback. The shock reverberated through him, leaving him utterly stunned. His father was the head of the Crane family, a man of considerable stature.

Yet, here was Ansel, declaring with authority that he would also strike his father without hesitation if it came to that.

Who was this man standing before him, and why did he have Ansel's profound respect?

The more Lucas pondered it, the more his astonishment grew. Clutching his face, he hesitantly asked, "Who... who exactly is he?"

Ansel responded with a dismissive snort, "You're not worthy of knowing who he is!"
