The Physician Tycoon

A few minutes later, the small boat arrived at the nameless island.

Thompson moored the small boat on the shore and anchored it.

The group disembarked and walked along the soft sand until they reached the edge of a grove of trees.

"The scenery here is really nice."

"There are all kinds of seashells here, come and collect them!"

The beach was covered with colorful seashells, which looked like sparkling gems.

The girls got excited and ran happily on the beach, picking up seashells.

Thompson pointed to the woods and said, "It's even more fun in there. The sap in the trees is very sweet; you can drink it by cutting open the bark with a knife."

The girls were indeed a bit thirsty, and they were all tempted after hearing Thompson's suggestion.

"But we didn't bring any knives!"

Thompson pulled a fruit knife from his waist. "I happen to have a fruit knife here, here you go."

He handed the fruit knife to Alice, who took it and ran straight into the woods, followed by the others.

Alice used a knife to cut open the bark, and white sap flowed out, just like milk.

Alice tried taking a sip, and it was indeed sweet and delicious.

The other three asked, "How is it? Is it good?"

"It's delicious, so delicious! You all should try some."

Everyone eagerly tasted it, praising it highly, "It's so delicious! Even milk isn't this good!"

"Good heavens, how can there be such a sweet, natural beverage here?"

"I dare say, if this drink were sold outside, it would cause a buying frenzy!"

After everyone had been drinking for a while, they noticed that Thompson hadn't drunk any. Mary called out, "Thompson, why aren't you drinking?"

No one responded.

Everyone looked around, but where was Thompson?

"Where did that old rascal run off to?"

Lucy, with her sharp eyes, pointed to the sea and said, "Look, isn't that Thompson on that little boat?"

Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized Thompson as the man steer the small boat toward the castle.

"Damn it, this old bastard is trying to escape!"

Ye Kai calmly said, "Let him run, he can't escape my grasp."

Mary cried out, "Oh no! The tide is coming in!"

Everyone felt a cool sensation under their feet, and when they looked down, they saw that the seawater had indeed risen up.

Alice realized what was happening. "That bastard Thompson! He escaped in the small boat, leaving us stranded on the island to drown!"

Everyone else panicked. "What do we do? We can't just watch the sea drown!"

"If I die here, I won't even be able to go home. That would be so tragic!"

"Don't rush, watch me."

Ye Kai took out an amphibious vehicle from the jade gourd. After Alice got in, she asked in surprise, "Ye Kai, where did you conjure up a car from?"

"I can perform seventy-two transformations and conjure up many wonderful things for you."

"What else can you transform into?"

"You'll see later, ladies, buckle up, the plane's about to take off!"

Ye Kai pressed a button, wings popped out, and the off-road vehicle rose into the air, chasing after Thompson's small boat.

A few seconds later, the off-road vehicle flew over the small boat.

The powerful airflow pounded against the small boat, causing it to shake violently.

Thompson frantically tried to control the small boat, but the airflow was too strong, creating huge waves that sent the boat soaring to the crest of a wave one moment and plunging it into the trough the next.

With a loud bang, the small boat capsized, and Thompson fell into the sea.

He struggled desperately, shouting, "Help!"

Ye Kai lowered a rope, and Thompson quickly grabbed it, trying to climb up.

Ye Kai sped up, lifting the off-road vehicle dozens of meters high. Thompson became an aerial acrobat, his face pale with fright. He gripped the rope tightly, afraid that he might fall and be half-dead.

"I'll take you to see the nameless island."

Ye Kai maneuvered the off-road vehicle back over the nameless island. By this time, the seawater had already risen, and the island, which was originally the size of a football field, was now only the size of a basketball court, with the rest of the island submerged.

Ye Kai searched his memory and found relevant information about this nameless island.

"Girls, this island is a small island that can rise and fall. When the tide goes out, the height of the island will rise accordingly, and when the tide goes in, the height of the island will fall accordingly, until it is completely submerged in the seawater."

Thompson led us here to drown us when the tide came in.

The three girls were startled, and anger burned within them.

"That old man is really wicked!"

"Ye Kai, throw this old bastard down there and drown him!"

"Yes, let him feed the sharks!"

Ye Kai shook his head. "No, he's still useful."

"What's the use?"

"It will be very useful, you'll see later."

Ye Kai piloted the off-road vehicle back, quickly arriving above the castle and landing in the courtyard.

Thompson's strength had reached its limit; his legs went weak, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

Ye Kai got out of the car, grabbed Thompson, and carried him to the lobby.

Alice splashed a basin of water on Thompson's face. Thompson woke up and immediately knelt down.

"Master, this old servant knows he was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will be loyal to you from now on and will never betray you!"

Alice stepped forward and slapped Thompson several times. "You old bastard, you knew perfectly well that island would be submerged at high tide, yet you still tricked us into going there to drown us! You have a terrible conscience!"

Mary and Lucy took turns slapping Thompson, quickly turning him into a swollen mess.

Alice said fiercely, "Old man, I'm going to throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

Thompson knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "Please, I promise I'll never do it again!"

"Thompson, I'll let you off this time for Ye Kai's sake. If it happens again, you're dead!"

"Yes, yes, I promise there will never be a next time."

After all that fuss, it got dark, and the girls were hungry.

They looked around, searching for food. "Is there anything to eat here?"

"Yes, I'll cook."

Thompson wanted to prove himself, so he plunged into the restaurant and got busy.

Alice was a little worried. "Wouldn't that old man poison us?"

Lucy said nonchalantly, "It's alright, Ye Kai can tell at a glance whether the food is poisoned or not."

"Oh, really?"

"Of course, you haven't really experienced Ye Kai's prowess yet. How about I arrange something for you later?" Lucy winked at Alice.

Alice had already intended this, "Mmm."

Thompson arrived half an hour later.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is ready. Please proceed to the dining room."

The group arrived at the restaurant, where a variety of exquisite dishes were laid out on the table.

Ye Kai took out a silver needle from the jade gourd and tested it on each dish in front of Thompson. The silver needle did not change color.

Ye Kai waved his hand, "Eat without worry."

Thompson opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for everyone.

After two drinks, the girls' cheeks flushed, especially Alice, whose eyes were alluring.
