Gisella asked, "Do you have a job?""No! I just make money from fighting!" Weldon's response was straightforward.Gisella chuckled and said, "I have a job opening for a bodyguard. Do you want it?"Weldon was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Sure! Sure! Miss, as long as you don't mind that I'm dumb!"Gisella smiled and said, "Good, from now on, you're my bodyguard."Zach was shocked. She just spent so much money hiring a thug to disable Theodore's limbs.That much money would have been sufficient to end Theodore's life. The money was simply wasted!Was the girl really that wealthy?"Mr. Jovy…"Theodore should have been taken away by ambulance, but when he noticed Zach's hesitation, he yelled in pain and anger."Why are you hesitant? Arrest them, and I'll sign a contract of intent to invest 210 million right now!"Zach, an experienced politician, was at a loss when confronted with Gisella's ambiguity.Bill and Toby, who had been watching the situation develop the entire time,
Toby hung up the phone and looked at Theodore seriously. He said, "I thought you only offended Dr. Jennings, but you also offended her. I can't save you anymore!"Theodore asked anxiously, "Her? Gisella Keating? Who's she?""Who's she? Do you know why she calls Dr. Jennings uncle?" Toby remarked, thinking about the powerful figures behind her. It caused him to break into a cold sweat.Theodore refused to give up and asked, "Uncle, please tell me! Perhaps I'll find a way to turn the tables!""Turn the tables?" Toby sneered and looked at Theodore with pity."Gisella's grandfather is Sheldon Healy's mentor. Sheldon Healy is the master of medical arts in the capital. Tell me—how do you intend to turn the tables?""That's impossible! There must be a mistake..." Theodore was dumbfounded. There was no way he could turn things around.Sheldon was probably the most influential person in Hacniane.That doctor not only knew many high-ranking officials and business people in Hacniane, but
In the car, Fifi sighed, thinking it was rash to invest 420 million on a whim.Gisella smiled lightly and asked, "What's the point of keeping so much money? I can't even spend it all. Besides, I'm not interested in money. I just need enough to cover my expenses."Fifi looked at Chad and teased, "You sound just like someone I know who always says they're not interested in money.'"Chad coughed and said awkwardly, "Fifi, please don't make fun of me."Unexpectedly, Gisella said, "Making money isn't difficult for me. During my internship, I received enough money from patients' families to buy a house in Bloomington."Curious, Fifi asked, "How much money did the patients give?"Gisella murmured absentmindedly, "Minor surgeries cost a few hundred dollars, while major surgeries cost thousands of dollars, depending on the procedure. In a year, approximately 50 to 60 people gave me money."Fifi exclaimed, "Wow, hospitals are so corrupt!"Gisella distractedly said, "Dr. Damon Chevy, who
When the helicopter landed, plainclothes officers immediately surrounded it. Another wave of plainclothes officers began to frisk those on the scene.Zach was so shocked that he nearly collapsed.Only super dignitaries, such as cabinet ministers and national pillars, could create such a scene.Ordinary cabinet members could not do that without prior notice.Even top military leaders, including the God of War, could not act without prior notice like that.Toby was even more surprised and exclaimed, "Who on earth is coming?"On the other hand, Winston had a strong feeling that someone at the pinnacle of martial arts was aboard the helicopter.That person recognized Winston as an earthbound immortal the moment the helicopter passed over Temple Road.Winston could tell that the person had focused on him, and the plainclothes officers who appeared unexpectedly appeared to treat Winston as the primary target of their surveillance.Click…When the helicopter door opened, a spirited
What bothered Winston the most was that the great medicine—Gisella—whom he had his eye on, had such a background, implying that she was untouchable.Sheldon accompanied Lawson into the shop and said, "Today, Sir Lawson is here as a witness. Today, I will take Gisella Keating as my disciple, teaching her everything I've learned about medicine. She can accept responsibility for Sir Lawson's health in the next five years."A collective gasp was heard as soon as those words were spoken!It meant Gisella would be Lawson's personal doctor in five years. Even though it would take five years, Sheldon's guarantee sealed the deal.Lawson beckoned to Gisella. "Gisella, come here and let me look at you."Gisella approached nervously and was held by Lawson to be examined."You've suffered for years! Your grandfather was my personal doctor for over 30 years, and he saved my life several times. I've let his descendants suffer in this world. It's entirely my fault, but it will never happen again
Bang!"Damn it!" Winston slammed the steering wheel down and drove away.On the way, Winston called Monte and said, "Monkey, stop all actions."Monte said, "I also received the same message from the organization. Take care of yourself, and don't contact me unless absolutely necessary."Meanwhile, several military helicopters landed on Temple Road, and wheeled armored vehicles also drove in.Peak Institute and Cloth Alley were transformed into military-restricted areas, with no one permitted to approach.Chad wanted to ask what was going on, but he was stopped by soldiers with guns."Stop! No one is allowed to approach the restricted area. Those who don't comply will be executed on the spot!"Everyone at the scene was in a state of panic, unable to understand what was happening.Furthermore, they were puzzled when they tried to question the big shots they knew.Those people were somewhat panicked and fled that troublesome place.However, they silently warned themselves that t
What were the criteria for the danger assessments?Who exactly was threatening him, Matilda, and Gisella, and evaluating them in that manner?Chad wondered if anyone had tampered with the list.Chad was surprised to learn Matilda was not biologically related to Celine and Logan.However, Chad became even more perplexed when he realized Lawson had personally handed him that list.[Dark Phoenix, female, real name... Background... Currently... Group CEO, outstanding abilities, awakened to level one. Evaluation: Danger level undetermined. Danger rating: undetermined.]"She's also on the list, but..."Chad saw Dark Phoenix's name, but her real name and background were obscured.Chad tried hard but failed to remove the cover.Furthermore, Chad noticed that Dark Phoenix's profile said awakened!She was one of the few awakened people on the list who remained marked in red!However, what did the word—awakened—actually mean?Chad tried hard to recall his previous conversation with La
"I'll be damned! What are you doing? Cease fire, everyone!"The gunfire came to a halt amid the officer's furious shouts. The officer scolded the two soldiers who had fired."What are you blindly shooting at? Is anyone there?" Chad was taken aback by the officer's reprimand and turned to face the direction of the gunfire. There was only an old tree riddled with bullet holes, with no sign of anyone."Sergeant, we saw a man and a woman dressed in robes. They looked very old.""Yeah! I told them to stop and not approach, but they didn't seem to listen and continued walking toward us."The sergeant slapped one of them angrily, saying, "Nonsense, you are both seeing things!"Finally, he angrily pointed to the moon in the sky, saying, "There's a full moon tonight; even without streetlights, there shouldn't be any mistakes."Chad subconsciously looked at the sky outside—a full moon hung high, round and bright."Don't be afraid. I'll protect you." Weldon's voice came from the backyard,
