Chapter 32 Congratulations, Mr. Hayes!

Victor was totally lost; his brain was just not working at all.

"Which finger did you put it on?" Aaron asked.

Victor finally got what William was hinting at. The ring he had on was dirty, so the finger wearing it had to go. But losing a finger to save his life? No biggie. Victor didn't hesitate. He whipped out a knife and hacked off the middle finger that had the ring.

As Victor let out a gut-wrenching scream, William looked pleased.

Aaron jumped in, "Mr. Davis, what did you come to see Victor for?"

William said, "I asked him to find out where my mom is."

"Victor, you hear that? Get on it and help Mr. Davis!" Aaron barked.

Victor, gritting his teeth through the pain, said, "Mr. Davis, I know a bit about your mom's whereabouts, but it's been a while. I need some time to dig deeper. As soon as I find out, I'll let you know."

William wasn't thrilled but nodded. "Alright."

"Mr. Davis, shall we bounce?" Aaron asked.

"Yeah." William got into Aaron's car and they took off.

Victor looked at his crew and said, "Remember, zip it about today. Anyone who crosses Mr. Davis is dead meat."

Sweating from the pain, Victor grabbed his severed finger and rushed to the hospital.

The Verlon Hospital, a private joint overseas catering to the elite. Victor and his gang often ended up here after brawls. Seeing Victor with a chopped-off finger, everyone was stunned.

In the underworld, with Kyle gone, Victor was almost the top dog. Who could mess with him?

"Victor? What happened to you?" a voice called out; it was Timothy.

Timothy had brought Regenesis Ointment to Verlon Hospital for trials.

"Mr. Hayes? I'm good. Just a finger," Victor said, trying to play it cool.

Timothy looked surprised. "What a coincidence, Victor. I just got this ancient recipe from the legendary doc Alfred, Regenesis Ointment. It's for broken bones and stuff. It'll make your bones and flesh grow back."

He added, "It's already set for mass production. Before it hits the market, I brought some for trials."

Victor's eyes lit up at this.

Timothy was a big shot in pharma, and this was Alfred's ancient recipe. Plus, Timothy had Gavin, a top medical expert, with him. Victor totally trusted the Regenesis Ointment.

"Then give me some to try. I'm a perfect test case," Victor urged.

"Victor, did you bring your finger?" Timothy asked.

"Yeah, just cut it off, still bleeding." Victor pulled out the severed finger.

"Perfect. We'll apply the ointment and stitch it up. You'll see results in two or three days, no surgery needed." Timothy and his team got to work, applying the ointment and stitching Victor up.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. It itches. I can feel the flesh growing. This stuff is magic!" Victor exclaimed.

Timothy explained, "Yep, that's Regenesis Ointment for you. If we used the top-grade ingredients, your finger would heal in half a day. We're using slightly less potent stuff, but in two or three days, it'll work."

Victor said, "Then Mr. Hayes, congrats in advance. With this miracle ointment, you'll probably take Eugene's spot soon."
