“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
Waylon Sacket pressed on Chana Jackson’s wrist before moving his fingers away while squinting.After a few minutes, Darius Jackson could not help but speak.“What happened to my daughter?“Can she be saved?”The Jackson family had an immensely successful business but did not understand the martial arts field.Darius also had no time to look for a so-called expert from the sacred martial arts training grounds. He already put all hope in the man his wife brought over.“This is bad! Really bad!Waylon frowned with a stern look on his face.“The young lady only got into an ordinary car crash, but she’s also been practicing in hidden martial arts, causing her energy to surge out of control…“The energy would usually be able to strengthen her body…“But now, this has become her deadliest poison!“This is very bad!”Darius’ expression instantly darkened.“Even you won’t be able to help her?” he asked.“Not quite.Waylon stroked his beard, smiling faintly.“I’m saying it’ll be
The young man, who Linus addressed as Mr. Parker, ignored Ray and immediately set his eyes on Sia. For someone like him who came out of the mountains, fashionable young women from the mountains were women he rarely had a chance to interact with.And then, he glanced at Harvey. He did not bother hiding the disdain in his eyes. It was as if a fly had landed on his delicious cake, and he could not help but feel disgusted. When the image crossed his mind, he said, "Mr. Linus, I don't like people who interfere with our business.""I understand," Linus said coldly. "Let me deal with it."Then, Linus waved his hand, and dozens of mutants from Country A cracked their necks as they moved forward."You're thinking of dealing with who?" A calm voice came from in front of Linus. Then, he saw Harvey was already standing up, as he had already finished helping Sia regulate the energy inside of her. Then, he grabbed the ashtray nearby and hurled it."Ah!" The ashtray landed right on Linus's head,
Sia was Yvonne's younger cousin, and the two of them had met once. She even called Harvey brother-in-law. However, he did not expect the two of them to meet again in these circumstances.Harvey quickly pushed open the car door, walked out, and immediately checked Sia's pulse and asked, "Sia, what's going on here?"Sia instinctively wanted to struggle when a man touched her. However, when she saw Harvey's face clearly, she calmed down and stopped being on her guard."Why are you here?""Stop talking. Your condition right now is quite unusual. Let me give you a hand," said Harvey with a frown. While he could tell that Sia had been drugged, he did not realize it would be so powerful. The person who drugged Sia also did not think about the consequences and used about ten times more than the standard dosage.Most importantly, this was not some typical poison. It was a kind of insect poison that could awaken one's primal desire. And this situation was quite difficult to deal with. With
One moment later, Janus approached Emery with a dark expression. Meanwhile, Emery was brewing tea.Emery had just added some tea to the teapot and relaxedly filtered the first pot of water. Then, he took out his antique cup and poured himself a cup of tea.Only once he was almost done did Emery glance at Janus. "What happened?"Janus had a strange expression before he spoke sternly: "Boss, Ms. Isis of Sherril Corp had just been humiliated. Drake, who had just returned from the Northern Land, had also been wasted. They had even knelt and vowed not to harass Ms. Journi again…Emery's hand held his teacup still as he listened. A glint of strange light illuminated his eyes before he calmly said, "Don't tell me Harvey did this."Janus nodded. "I really can't figure it out until today. Just where did Harvey come from? He didn't care who he offended at all. Here, he had just killed Hector and foiled the Island Nation's plans, and the next he did was hurt Drake and humiliate Country A."
Isis took a deep breath as she gritted her teeth, "If you dare hurt Drake, both the Wards of the Northern Land and the Sherril Corp won't show you any mercy!""Oh? Then, I really want to see how you plan not to show me mercy.After he said that, Harvey placed the revolver he held on Drake's shoulder and pulled it.Bang!There was a huge sound, and Drake trembled. His shoulder had been shot, and blood instantly started to flow. If every shout before this was simply trying to scare him, then this shot was clean enough to the point of scaring them. All of them felt Harvey was a murderer.At this point, they finally understood that Harvey was not a risk-taker. He was even crazier than Drake.There was only silence at the scene. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, as everyone was still stunned. They were truly stunned by how fast Harvey did it, and the entire club's atmosphere instantly plummeted. Many were shaking and trembling.While they believed they were more importa
Isis's expression instantly darkened. Harvey's earlier decisiveness had already made her understand that Harvey would pull the trigger."Bend the knee, apologize, and make your vow," Harvey ordered calmly. "I'm growing impatient. Three, two, one…"Without giving Drake a chance to speak, Harvey pulled the trigger again.Clack!The fourth time. It was still a dry fire.Isis's mind was completely blank, and she was blinded momentarily. While she always looked like someone high-and-mighty, she felt like she was nothing in front of everything Harvey had been doing. She thought that she could easily lose her life.Drake was so scared that he was shuddering.While it was still a dry fire, the next time he pulled the trigger, there was a 50% chance of it being a bullet. No matter who Harvey pointed the gun at, that person would have a 50% chance of going to hell."My, they always said that those who are kind live short lives while those who are problematic live a very long life. I didn
"You're threatening me?" Harvey patted Drake's cheek. "I know you must be very haughty, but the problem is that you're right in my hands tonight. Do you think threatening me like that is going to help you? Do you actually think I wouldn't dare to pull that trigger after you threatened me?"I've killed people like you for a dime a dozen. Nothing happened to me anyway. Why am I still standing perfectly fine here? At the root of it, it's because people like you are useless!"Harvey continued in high spirits, "Hey, Drake. Do you want to make a bet? Let's bet that no matter how headstrong you are, you're going to kneel on the ground and beg me to spare your life."Drake coldly replied, "And what's the wager? Your life?"Harvey blurted out a laugh. "No, you're not nearly valuable enough to make me wager my life. But, if you don't beg me until the very end, I can agree to any of your conditions.""Fine. At the time, I'll make you kill yourself!" Drake said as he gritted his teeth. "We'll
"You're that lucky?" Harvey said, his shock palpable on his face. "Alright, one more time."This time, Drake raised his left hand to block the gun's muzzle using all his strength. He believed that if this continued, even if he would not die from a bullet, he would die from the fear alone. "You're scared?" Harvey looked at Drake curiously. "Aren't you the Madman? Aren't you the third in Wolsing out of all the Young Masters? Why are you so afraid of dying? You're so arrogant while harassing my girlfriend. Why are you such a piece of trash now, huh?" Harvey patted Drake's face disdainfully.In that instant, there was only silence. No one expected this man who called himself Journi's boyfriend to be so big-headed. Not only did he dare to threaten Drake, he really wanted to kill Drake. Was he not afraid the Wards of the Northern Land would show him no mercy?But of course, to someone like Journi, while she was surprised, she was mainly touched. She was certain someone like Harvey would
And then, Harvey waved his left hand. The moment when Drake was stunned, the revolver then dropped into Harvey's hand.Once Harvey had obtained the revolver, he spun the cylinder, unlocked the safety, and pointed the revolver around. All the people who were so smug earlier started to scream and tried to find places to hide after being shocked.Harvey's play with the revolver made it obvious that he would discharge it accidentally.Even Isis, who had always been so high-and-mighty, had her expression darkened for a while and hid behind a marble column subconsciously. He who has nothing to lose has nothing to fear. Harvey looked like he had nothing to lose at all.That was why the foreigners all believed that if they were killed by Harvey, even if Harvey was willing to die for his mistake, it was still something they could not accept. After forcing the group away, Harvey then pointed the revolver at Drake's head.Drake's eyes turned cold. "Who are you, kid? Do you think this is som
In the end, Journi took a deep breath and buried all her helplessness and fury deeper into her heart. Then, she slowly said, "You must be joking, Ms. Isis. You are the daughter of the Sherril Corp from Country A. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare to cross you. However, I simply wish for you to show some mercy…"To thank you, I'm willing to give you some of the assets in Country A I owe you for free as my gift. I believe you won't make it difficult for me, right?"Journi thought she had already lowered herself to the point that she was practically begging Isis to show her mercy. At this point, she even felt that she was giving up. She even forgot that she had Harvey pretend to be her boyfriend.Harvey was pleased, however. Instead of using an excuse like having a boyfriend, she was willing to accept other conditions in exchange for her freedom. This was a sign that she was maturing."Tsk… Assets from Country A? The few mansions you bought on the West Coast?" Isis lit a cigare
