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
Nova Anderson was completely beaten up by Mrs. Jackson before a few security guards dragged her away. She burst into tears. She felt nothing but regret, but it was already too late.Maren Failes got Harvey York’s phone number as soon as possible before asking for his address.Harvey was sitting in front of Fortune Hall. While he was still waiting for his tea to boil, Maren had already rushed inside.“You?”Maren froze after seeing Harvey’s face. She did not expect that he was the one who saved Chana Jackson.That said, saving Watson Braff’s life was enough to prove his ability to Maren. No matter how prideful she was, she had no choice but to speak.“Master York, right?” she said while biting her lip.“Chana’s in trouble. Nova gave her blood, and now she’s in a bad state.“We tried everything, but she’s hanging on a thread right now.“At this point, she’ll only last for half an hour at most.”‘Nova gave her blood?’Harvey froze. He did not expect that Nova was actually that
“I’m no doctor, nor do I have any medical skills, but I can bring Chana Jackson back just like I did yesterday.“I can even fix your asthma too. That one’s pretty easy anyway.Harvey smiled.“That said, you need to mop my floors after that.”Maren Failes showed a cold expression before scoffing.“If you can bring Chana back and stop Mr. Jackson from burning down our hospital, I’ll even be your personal maid!” Naturally, her pride would not let her give in to Harvey that easily…But she had to admit that Harvey was probably the only person who could save Chana at this moment.Harvey shrugged.“Excuse me, but you don’t have the right to be my maid.”“What did you say?!Maren was boiling with anger.“I’m good-looking, have a good attitude, highly educated, and have an impressive background! How dare you say that despite all this?!”Harvey casually peered out the window.“My only maid is Arlet Pagan.“I’m not exactly happy with her…“But letting you become my maid is simpl
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
