Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Soulburn Fever.

‎The mafia boss was rushed to the hospital again. Doctors attended to him but his body didn't respond to medicine worsening his condition. The doctors had tried everything but for some unknown reason they couldn't diagnose what exactly the Mafia boss was suffering from. He had been unconscious for five days straight and Ma Yixuan stayed right beside him waiting for him to wake up.

Lin Shiyu's other trusted subordinates like Da Yu the sniper visited often hoping their boss would wake up sooner.Da Yu even threatened the doctors holding them at a gun's point but nothing changed.

‎"I've asked around and I did my research. There's a medical sage in the outskirts of Beijing. I think we should check him out and see if he can help Boss ,"Da Yu suggested during one of their evening talks at the hospital.

‎"What medical sage? Can he work miracles? I can't believe you would spout such nonsense,"Lin Shiyu's mocking voice almost made them jump out of their seats in shock.

‎"Boss you're awake!" Da Yu exclaimed in delight.

‎"Of course I am."

‎"Boss we were just talking about your illness. The doctors can't detect the disease and so it's incurable. So I was suggesting..."Da Yu trailed off fearfully like a child scared of being scolded.

‎Although Da Yu was a playful guy and liked to joke around a lot he still feared his boss. Cause why not? The man was like a volcano; erupting from time to time.

‎It took a lot of courage and convincing to get the Mafia boss to agree to seek the rumoured medical sage but not without a threat.

--------------------

A few days after Lin Shiyu was discharged,the trio found their way to the outskirts of Beijing precisely the abode of the medical sage. The place consisted of a large traditional house surrounded by all kinds of trees. Lin Shiyu was a mafia of course knocking someone's else door was just a waste of time. They barged in like no one's business.

‎"Tianqi robbers in the house!" a middle aged screamed as he retreated backwards.

‎The so called Tianqi showed up only to find three strange men in their house.

‎"What the fuck?" Da Yu cursed looking at the two overly identical men in front of him. The two men were a pair of beta twins identical in every physical aspect; they even wore identical clothes making it hard to differentiate between them.

‎Tianqi on the other hand studied them with an unreadable expression before he decided to speak up.

‎"Gentlemen what can we help you with? " he asked calmly not fazed by the two guys pointing guns at them.

‎"Which of the two of you is the medical sage?"Da Yu asked authoritatively.

‎"Medical sage?"the seated man snickered .

‎"We're not here to waste time just answer the damn question!" the Mafia boss demanded in fury sending chills down the other two men's spines.

‎"Sir,if you'd like our assistance we request you avoid violence,"Tianqi requested politely ,"Please have a seat,"he ushered them to take the extra couches before he himself sat beside his brother .

‎"My boss is suffering from a strange disease and he would like your assistance,"Ma Yixuan stepped in politely.

‎"Oh so you're here for medical help. Tianqi come let's go,"the other man Zelin said dragging his brother away only to come back a few seconds later.

‎"If you differentiate the two of us we'll help you,"Zelin demanded lowering his voice to sound like his brother.

‎"I'm sorry gentlemen my brother likes to mess around much. I am Fang Tianqi and this is my brother Zelin ,"Tianqi interrupted, bowing respectfully.

‎"I'm actually three minutes older than him,"Zelin bragged.

‎"Sir may I ask what your symptoms are?"Tianqi continued completely ignoring his brother's antics.

‎"I have fucking migraines, fucking fevers, I fucking struggle to breath and I've been passing out a lot,"the mafia boss informed.

‎"Woah that's a lot of curse words ,"Zelin exclaimed dramatically.

‎"So cut to the chase who's the blazes is the medical sage?"Lin Shiyu demanded

‎"My brother Zelin will have a look at you ,"Tianqi informed.

The mafia boss gave them a skeptical look but decided to follow Zelin to a specific room where he lay flat on the bed. Zelin was actually skilled in medicine so he ran some tests. As expected no normal disease was detected. He had to apply his special skill and that was when he was able to find the problem. He was even shocked about what he found out.After the diagnosis the five men sat in the living room to discuss the results.

‎"What illness am I suffering from?"

‎"Actually you're suffering from Soulburn Fever,"he informed.

‎"What?"the Mafia trio yelped definitely clueless but Tianqi had a totally different expression; the same as the one Zelin himself had when he found out about the condition. He was shocked and somehow panicked.

‎"What's Soulburn Fever?"Da Yu asked curiously.

‎"It's a fiery internal sickness that scorches an alpha's core. It's a rare condition and if left untreated you'll go feral and lose control and at that stage the only way to end it is by death,"Zelin elucidated sounding serious.

‎"Can it be cured? " Da Yu was the one that inquired.

‎"Yes there is a cure. Since it's a unique condition so the way of treating it is also unique . Only the blood of your marked destined mate can cure it,"he declared adding emphasis on the last statement. That was the last straw before the alpha snapped. Without warning he moved swiftly pouncing on Zelin. His fingers grabbed the sage's neck and lifted him up from his seat. The alpha squeezed him mercilessly growling with rage. The fact that Zelin had messed around with him only added fuel to the fire. Poor Zelin didn't know that the mafia boss loathed mates the most and everything revolving around them especially the so called destined mates.

‎The three other men rushed to save him only to get thrown away with just a kick on their faces.
