The other medical staff sighed before showing admiration in their eyes.“Any other medical staff would’ve panicked! The injured person would’ve died while on the way here!“You’re impressive, Nova!“We should’ve also applied you to be a doctor if you told us you knew martial arts! I never pegged you as such a humble person!“You shouldn’t be just a nurse!“Oh, Nova! You’re a genius! You need to teach us more about this next time!”‘Huh?‘Martial artist?‘Impressive?‘Genius?Nova froze.She only managed to become a nurse because her mother kept asking around for a job so they could survive.She only read her so-called first aid techniques in books. She had never applied that knowledge anywhere.How would she even know how to save people then?Let alone have martial arts knowledge?Calming a person’s energy?She had never even heard of such a thing. Then, how was she supposed to do that in the first place?‘Did Harvey do this?’Nova Anderson let out a cold chuckle afte
Vroom!Right when Nova Anderson was shaking with excitement, a few Rolls Royce were parked in a row in front of the entrance.Soon after, a dozen people came outside.The leading person was a well-maintained middle-aged man. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses when he carried an aura of an upperclassman.An affluent lady covered in jewelry was standing beside him.The two people who should have been acting all high and mighty were filled with nothing but fear.They quickly stumbled forward while the crowd surrounded them.The Jackson family was the most well-known Hermit Family out of all of them.Their reputation since ancient times was enough for many people to know that they were at least on par with the John family of the Golden Sands.Maren quickly rushed forward after seeing the two show up.“Mr. Jackson!”“Chana? Where’s my daughter?Mrs. Jackson held Maren’s hand with a panicked expression.“What happened to my daughter?!”She did not want to live anymore if anyth
Maren Failes had no intention to hide what had happened, nor did she try to steal any credit.“Since Ms. Jackson’s condition is already stabilized, there’s no need for her to undergo surgery immediately. That’s why we’re planning for consultation for the time being.“The two of you shouldn’t worry at all!”The couple heaved a sigh of relief.They entered the emergency room to take a look at their daughter.Chana Jackson still looked pallid, but her breathing was stable, and her heartbeat was steady. It seemed like she had just gone past the most dangerous period of her rescue.“Chana…”Mrs. Jackson was utterly heartbroken. She wanted to hug her daughter, but she was instantly pulled back.“Don’t get too excited. Your daughter’s still not recovered yet. It’d be bad if you did something to disrupt it…”Darius Jackson was filled with nothing but hatred, but he still managed to remain calm.He showed a faint smile after getting out of the emergency room.“I’d like to ask, who wa
“Well…“About that…”Nova Anderson frowned. In reality, she was not even half as good as they thought she was. How would she even know what kind of condition Chana Jackson was in then?Obviously, she was not able to answer the question.She quickly thought of something to say before she squinted at the couple.“Mrs. Jackson, even though I wanted to say everything will be fixed…“But that solely depends on the surgery itself.“I’ve already done what I could. I have no control over what happens after.”Nova’s words were enough to push away all her responsibility instantly.She wanted to say that she had already brought Chana back to life and that whatever happened next would depend on the doctors.Mrs. Jackson felt uneasy after hearing those words.“Well… will my daughter still be in danger after this?“She’s going to wake up tonight, right?”“Alright! Stop bothering her already!Darius immediately cut off his wife before Nova could even say anything.“She was the one who
Harvey York froze. Things just got interesting for him.He reached out for Kairi Patel’s phone before glancing at the news.“Lady of a Royal Family Hanging on a Thread. Genius from the Anderson family to the rescue!”Harvey did not know what to feel after seeing the picture below. It was none other than Nova Anderson herself.The content was written quite realistically, but the actual story was completely outlandish.Nova was praised as a martial arts expert and a genius of eastern medicine.Along with her discreet attitude, nobody expected she would take action to save Chana Jackson at such a crucial moment.According to the insider scoop…Nova reluctantly received a hundred and fifty thousand dollars from Darius to keep him from worrying.He even announced that he would reward Nova with fifteen million dollars, a villa, and a sports car once his daughter recovered.He wanted the genius who saved his daughter to keep doing her job.The entire internet was in an uproar. Alon
At the same time, the entire Oak Crest Hospital was in utter chaos.Chana Jackson’s situation was still relatively normal an hour before, but everything turned awry after that.All signs on the indicators were constantly showing red numbers.Loud beeps were heard non-stop, panicking every single person nearby.“What is it? What’s going on?”“She was fine just before!”“How did it turn out like this?!”Maren Failes was halfway through her lunchbox before running over with an anxious look.“What happened here?”“We… We don’t know either!”“We’ve been looking after the patient. Nobody touched her at all! Even the liquids we injected were what you instructed us to!”“The patient must be in a bad state right now, but her vital signs are plummeting for some reason!”“We need to perform the surgery now, Director Failes! We can’t wait any longer!”The doctors were drenched in cold sweat while they kept spouting suggestions.They all knew it would be terrible if Darius Jackson’s d
“What are you doing, Nova?!” Maren Failes exclaimed after seeing the lethargic look on Nova Anderson’s face.“The patient’s in a bad state!“You need to do something!“You’re the only expert martial artist here!“We can’t do anything about the energy in the patient’s body!“You’re the only one left!”Nova’s eyes frantically twitched before showing a horrible expression.“Martial arts wouldn’t be able to deal with the patient’s degrading symptoms, Director Failes…“You should get another person to help…”Nova wiped the sweat off her face, secretly applauding herself for coming up with an intricate lie.Maren’s expression changed instantly.“Nova!“This is no time to joke around!“I know that you’re trying to be discreet! I know you don’t want to show too much in front of everyone!“But I swear that we only admire your abilities! Nobody has any jealousy toward you in the first place!“We’re all doctors here! We’re duty-bound!“Don’t doubt us here!“More importantly, you
Darius Jackson seemed a little relieved after hearing those words.Then, he glanced at Nova Anderson with a serious expression.“Please! You need to help Chana!“Save my daughter! If you do, I’ll give you a hundred and fifty million dollars upfront!“You need to help us!”The medical staff were twitching their eyes after hearing those words.They would not even be able to earn that much money, no matter how good they were with the scalpel!And yet Nova already had such a significant exposure after tending to a patient once.It was clear that she had exceptional talent!“I’ll…“I’ll do my best…”Nova’s eyes kept twitching before she mustered up the courage to stand beside Chana Jackson.She tried recalling what Harvey had done before putting her trembling right hand on Chana’s chest.She could not move a single inch after feeling Chana’s quivering body.She knew she could live the rest of her life in endless glory and riches if she managed to save Chana…But if she failed
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
Bart coughed out a mouthful of blood after being slapped. Even a few teeth were in the blood as he looked completely out of his element. He wanted to stand up and fight against Harvey until the end, but he finally discovered that his arrogance and power meant nothing before Harvey."Harvey! You've crossed a line!" Zoe finally could not sit still and threw the cup she held onto the floor. Then, she pointed his finger at Harvey and yelled, "Do you even know what you're doing? Don't you know we have hundreds of hostages? Do you think we're still fighting in an arena in Flutwell?"So what if you can fight? So what if you're the representative? The Second Caste succeeded in a military coup! We have millions of soldiers and countless weapons! No matter how powerful you are, do you think they're more powerful than modern firearms? Regardless of your influence, do you think it's enough to suppress a country? No matter how rich you are, can you buy the entire Country I?"I'm warning you now,
Argh!Bart screamed as he pulled out his dagger from its sheath, wanting to stab Harvey in the gut. However, Harvey would never give him that chance. He spun and kicked Bart in the head.Bart's figure shuddered before being thrown away and slammed into a marble pillar with a bang. The sound of a crack followed, and the marble pillar instantly formed cracks that looked like spider webs as Bart fell to the ground.Bart was emotionally shaken. He wanted to stand up, but he had only crawled up halfway. His legs gave way, and he crawled on the floor again.He was crippled?With just one hit, he was already crippled? Just what kind of a monster was Harvey? The elites from the Second Caste looked at Harvey with mouths agape. They were prideful of their strengths, and many had trained in the Three Great Temples. They all believed they were better than everyone else. Especially Bart, who was one of the prodigies of the Celestial Temple.But when Bart encountered Harvey, he could not even
Bart looked arrogant. The Second Caste had the entire Country I under control and had about a hundred hostages from the Xavier family. How was the pretty boy going to deal with him this way?It must be a joke!"Do something to you?" Harvey turned around and approached Bart. Before Bart could even react, Harvey already lightly patted his face."I'm the one who defeated your squad of so-called prodigies. I was also the one who kicked Julio out of Flutwell. The famous people in Country I are nothing to me. Do you think dealing with garbage like you is challenging for me? Ridiculous."Then, Harvey pulled out a paper towel and wiped his palm in disdain."You bastard…" Bart was instantly infuriated when he finally realized that he had just been slapped in the face by Harvey. He wanted to get the gun on the table to gun Harvey down when he suddenly remembered something. His expression darkened as he narrowed his eyes and glared at Harvey coldly."You're the representative of Country H M
"Watch your mouth, Bart!" warned Yvonne. "Do you really think you've already won? Do you really think no one can do anything about you?"Bart laughed arrogantly and puffed out a ring of smoke. "We are the Second Caste. We are now the rulers of Country I. We have armies amounting to millions and countless assets. Do something about us? I don't believe someone like that even exists. Maybe you can try to do something for me instead? I swear I'll kneel before you!"Bart snickered after he said that. Any man knew what he was talking about.Clap! Clap!At this time, the sound of someone clapping could be heard."I see… I didn't expect the Second Caste from Country I would be so powerful. But I'm not someone who believes in the word impossible… Maybe I can do something to you instead?" Harvey's indifferent voice echoed in the hall as he slowly walked inside, clapping his hands.Zoe's expression froze when she heard that voice. When she saw who was talking, she could not help but shudder
"I don't know whether you're cowards, but all I need to do is send word to Sword Camp about how you disrespect the Chief Instructor. Even if the Chief Instructor isn't here, Ethan from Sword Camp will teach you a lesson!" warned Yvonne coldly."You're using Ethan to scare me?" Bart blurted out a laugh. "Do you think I didn't know Ethan had just been issued a restraining order? Without the Ministry of Defense's orders, he wouldn't dare make a move on us. It's just business… But will your ministry allow it to become an all-out war? How ridiculous! If you're that good, you can kill me here. That way, I'll acknowledge you're at least respectable! What's the point of wasting your breath with me here!"Then, Bart took out a pistol and immediately threw it before Yvonne with an arrogant expression. Yvonne's expression turned dark. It was obvious that she did not expect Bart to be so mad."What? You don't know how to use a gun? Come here, I'll teach you how. All you need to do is to turn th
