Minnie and Jennifer walked out of the hot spring and wrapped towels around their bodies. They continued chatting happily as they made their way to the medicinal pool.

Donald and Pietro tagged along behind them. Upon reaching the medicinal pool, Donald observed a thick white mist hovering above the surface of the water.

He observed the pool closely, taking note of the size and concentration of the mist emanating from the water's surface. This led him to the conclusion that the temperature of the pool was significantly higher than the others.

The moment Donald put one foot into the water, he felt a stinging sensation spreading across his skin.

The water temperature was not only high but also infused with various herbs.

Pietro entered the pool without hesitation as though the temperature was just right for him.

He taunted, “Are you just going to soak your feet outside the pool, Mr. Campbell? Don't tell me the water is too hot for you. You won't enjoy the hot spring if you don't get inside and soak your entire body.”

Donald chuckled aloud. “Oh? Then how should I enjoy the hot spring?”

Pietro gestured toward the pool and declared, “Why don't you immerse your entire body in the refreshing waters like I am doing? Keep your head outside, and you'll feel your muscles relax in no time.” He gave Donald a challenging look. “Are you up for it? Do you have the guts to soak yourself in the pool like me?”




Men are strangely competitive by nature. Though they were simply there to relax in the hot spring, after Pietro taunted him, Donald refused to back down.

Without preparing himself, Donald entered the pool.

Pietro was delighted to see that.

This particular pool was abundant with a diverse range of herbs, all of which possessed numerous health benefits for those who indulged in its waters.

Because of that, normal people could only spend less than fifteen minutes in the pool.

Pietro often immersed himself in this pool and could stay here longer than others.

His longest record was spending half an hour in this pool.

Pietro was afraid that Donald wouldn't accept his challenge, but now that Donald was inside the pool, he was certain he could get rid of him without alerting anyone else.

Both men enjoyed the pool while Jennifer and Minnie chatted aside.

The ladies were enjoying themselves and were unaware of the tension brewing between the two men. However, as time ticked by, Jennifer started to sense that something was amiss.

“Darling, if you're done, come on up. You can't spend too long in the hot spring,” she reminded.



Hearing that, Donald stretched his body.

He appeared to be on the verge of departing, prompting Pietro to ask, “Is everything okay, Mr. Campbell? Have you reached your limits? It looks like you're quite weak, huh?”
