Chapter 283 Do Not Like To Be Indebted To Others
"Ouch!!!" Howard Ortiz exclaimed when he pressed his seventh rib following Nathan Cross's
instructions. The old man was in so much pain that his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
The surrounding crowd expressed wonder at the accuracy of Nathan Cross's words.
Nathan continued to ask him, "Do you also experience sharp pain in your joints on rainy days?"
Howard Ortiz nodded continuously as he replied, "Yes! That's exactly what I have been experiencing. I
had assumed that it was just rheumatoid arthritis..."
"You have already suffered severe internal injuries. Heed my advice and stop practicing the Dragon
Fist at once. You also need to seek immediate medical attention before your condition worsens. Go to
the North Army General Hospital and look for the Director of the Hospital, Dr. Rothschild. If you tell him
Nathan Cross sent you here, he will treat you for free,” Nathan said further.
The Director of the North Army General Hospital, Dr. Rothschild, was also known for his Unmatched
Talent. It was the one and only Dr. Rothschild!
Any doubts which Howard Ortiz had about Nathan Cross were all swept away at once.
Dr. Rothschild, the leading authority in the medical field, who was extremely selective about the
patients he attended to, would never be associated with an unscrupulous liar.
Howard Ortiz was totally convinced that what Nathan Cross had told him was true. The old man was
very grateful to Nathan and kept expressing his gratitude to him. He also offered to repay Nathan
Cross's kindness.
"Don't worry about it. It's your entitlement to know about it as a veteran of the North Army." Nathan
politely declined Howard Ortiz's good intentions and left with Penny Smith.
After the couple steps away, Howard Ortiz remained on the spot, filled with heartfelt appreciation for
Nathan Cross. The lingering crowd was also basking in the entertaining scene which they had just
witnessed.
Just then, a Porsche stopped at the side of the road. Yedda Ortiz, Howard Ortiz's daughter, had arrived
to pick her dad up.
Noticing her dad's unusual expression, the woman immediately inquired what had happened.
Howard Ortiz recounted his encounter with Nathan Cross to his daughter, without sparing a single
detail. After which he added, "I'll be heading to the North Army General Hospital to seek treatment from
Dr. Rothschild tomorrow. Can you help me find out more about Nathan Cross? Also try to find out if
there is anything he might need help in. I never liked owing anyone favors. If Nathan Cross has any
difficulties, it would give us a chance to repay the favor by helping him out."
Yedda Ortiz nodded as she answered, "Dad, I know what to do.”
Howard Ortiz was once the wealthiest man in Channing. The Ortiz family had also always been one of
the richest, most powerful, and influential clans in Channing. As such, the family was considered to
have a formidable force in the city.
Yedda Ortiz managed to gather information on Nathan Cross very soon after. She found out that he
was the husband of Penny Smith, the president of the Cross Group.
It was rumored that Nathan Cross had rubbed Dip Turner the wrong way, and Dip Turner was intending
to finish off Nathan Cross at the party tomorrow.
Yedda Ortiz told her father about what she had found out immediately.
When Howard Ortiz heard the news, he frowned and said, "I never thought that Nathan Cross would be
a veteran of the North Army as well. No wonder that man was so familiar with the history of the
combative tactics employed by the army. He even knew about the drawback of practicing the Dragon
Fist." Drąмanоvels.com
