The city sprawled beneath Lin Chen's gaze from the hospital rooftop.
Skyscrapers reflected the early sunlight, but beneath the glittering surface lay a hidden web of corruption.
[System Notification:]
[City-Level Investigation Task Activated.]
[Target: Identify and neutralize hidden corrupt medical networks.]
[Recommended Action: Surveillance, Infiltration, and Influence Expansion.]
Lin Chen inhaled deeply.
"This is no longer just a hospital. The entire city… is my battlefield."

He began with the smaller clinics first.
Anonymous tips from the system highlighted several clinics with suspicious patient deaths and unreported surgeries.
Lin Chen walked calmly into the first clinic.
Staff greeted him politely, unaware of his true power.
[Authority Token Influence Active.]
Even the clinic owner felt an invisible pressure, a subtle warning not to act against him.
He pulled out his needle case, examining a patient with a rare heart condition.
[Divine Needle Mastery Level: Peak]
Within minutes, the patient stabilized, as if guided by invisible hands.
Word spread quickly: "A new doctor… miraculous… unstoppable."

Hidden Threat Emerges
Meanwhile, in a shadowy office downtown, a man with sharp eyes studied hospital and clinic networks.
"He's moving fast," he murmured.
"Authority Token… Divine Needle… the rumors are true. Lin Chen is not just a doctor—he's a sovereign."
This man, known only as Zhang Wei, was a hidden power in the city's medical black market.
He controlled multiple illegal clinics, bribed board members, and manipulated patient outcomes.
"Prepare a welcome for him," Zhang Wei said coldly.
"Let's see if this 'Sovereign' can survive a real test."

Lin Chen vs Hidden Corruption
By evening, Lin Chen had mapped several illegal operations, but the system alerted him to a critical anomaly:
[Critical Threat Detected: Zhang Wei Network Active.]
[Recommended Action: Infiltrate, Observe, Neutralize.]
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.
"So the real game begins. A hidden master, pulling strings in the shadows…
I've been waiting for someone like you."
He adjusted his coat, Authority Token glowing faintly, and disappeared into the night streets.
The city's hidden networks were now his next battlefield.
