Sobbing, Rowena said, “My brother got ambushed by his enemy when he was carrying out a mission. The doctor said he’s in a grave situation right now.”Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a pale complexion came forward. He had lost his left arm, and the wound on it suggested that he had lost it not long ago.“Let me explain the details.”Kayson looked at him, and the man introduced himself, “My name is Campian Wolke. I'm the captain of the eighth division for Admiralporium's Skyriv Department.“May I know your name, sir?”“You can call me Kayson Yarde.”Campian continued. “Mr. Yarde, are you Ms. Hendery’s boyfriend?”Kayson hesitated for a while before nodding. Then, Campian filled Kayson in on everything that had happened.It turned out that a few outlaws had been causing havoc in Northspring these few days, and their appearance had put the safety of the ordinary people at risk.What’s more, the strongest of them was a master-level fighter, and the weakest was an energy practiti
The woman’s name was Naomi Lynn. She was the pharmacist assigned to the eighth division. Although she was young, she was very capable. It was rumored that her master was a great medical practitioner, but no one knew who he was.That being said, Naomi had gained her reputation, not through her master but through her own skills and knowledge. The entire eighth division could question their captain’s capability, but none of them dared to question hers.She was the one who saved them from the clutches of death.Some even said she was the second “Living Reaper.”At that moment, Naomi’s clear eyes were filled with rage. This was because her captain had told her that there was someone who could confirm what kind of poison Hendery had gotten just by smelling the poison.She did not believe in this kind of bullsh*t at all. She hailed from a great master, so she had received training to smell and recognize medicines.Although she had never admitted it herself, she knew how great her master
That being said, Campian still found it hard to believe when Kayson said he could identify the poison by smelling it.Without wasting even a second, Kayson went to a drugstore and picked up some herbs so that he could concoct some tonics for Hendery.There was nothing Rowena could do other than waiting anxiously in front of the emergency room. Hendery was the only person she had left in this world, and she couldn’t imagine what she would do if she were to lose him as well.About one hour later, the door to the emergency room was opened from the inside, and the doctor came out. “We managed to attend to most of his wounds, but the poison is eroding his organs.“This causes a lot of damage to him, and if this goes on, he won’t be able to make it in another four hours.”Rowena felt as if all her energy had been sapped away. She leaned against the wall and sat on the floor. She buried her head into her knees and cried.Campian was stunned and said, “Dr. Shawn, you've got to do somethi
Not wanting to waste a single second, Kayson told Campian, who was apparently dumbfounded, to get him into the emergency room.Hendery’s organs and limbs were seriously injured. Even if he could make it through this, he wouldn’t be a fighter anymore.Kayson poured the tonic down his throat and popped the pill into his mouth.The indicators on the devices stopped fluctuating violently, and the condition began to improve.At the same time, black-colored sweat was oozing out of Hendery's pores all over his body, and blood filled with poison was seeping out of some wounds.Kayson heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Hendery was improving.The doctor was stunned when he saw everything happening before him. The pill and tonic Kayson had fed Hendery had pulled him back from death! The doctor couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, this medicine of yours…”Kayson knew what he wanted to say. He said, “It’s just an antidote. Once the poison has been expelled, his body will start to heal itself
If they were in the past, Naomi would definitely lash out at Kayson, telling him that he was not qualified to judge her if she heard what he said.However, she did not feel any resentment toward him right now.Since she refused to straighten her body, Kayson said helplessly, “Alright, you can straighten your body now.”Naomi straightened her body, and her face was filled with disappointment.She bit her lips softly and asked, “Mr. Yarde, can... Can you tell me how you knew that’s the poison?”She was convinced that Kayson was better than her, so she took the initiative to ask for advice.“Because of two aspects,” Kayson said with a smile.Naomi’s eyes glowed, and she continued excitedly. “Please tell me about it!”“First, you need to be very familiar and be able to tell each of the poisonous herbs in the poison.”Naomi asked in confusion, “But I know every composition that I analyzed…”Kayson continued. “Here comes the second point.”Naomi looked at him intently as if she wa
Since Hendery had Rowena to take care of him, and his condition had improved a lot, Kayson just told them what to watch out for before leaving the hospital with Campian.The victim of the mountain fire that the investigator had talked about was indeed Shaun, the building materials mogul in Skyriv.Perhaps it was because Kayson had saved Hendery’s life that Campian was very grateful to him. He shared all of the information the investigator told him with Kayson.After reading through the investigation report, Kayson had a rough idea of what was going on. Shaun worked in the building materials industry, so woods were very important to him. Besides, he had contracted a large amount of forest land some years earlier.One of the reasons his business had flourished was that Northspring was a city surrounded by mountains and forests, so he could reduce the costs.Other cities in Skyriv did not have as many mountains and forests as Northspring. Not only that, but logging was not allowed
Another board meeting was held that afternoon, when Shaun was attacked even further.“Bullsh*t! Do you know how much of the forest has been burned? Each tree burned is money lost for us!”When Ren stood up, Bryce and the others quieted down. There was apparently still respect for the master-level powerhouse.Ren then spoke up. “Mr. Jupp, the investigation shows that the culprit is an energy-enhanced expert who controls his energy as well as a highly-skilled fighter.“Mr. Cash has already asked for Admiralporium’s intervention. I would like to ask you to be patient.”An older man asked, “Arson by an energy practitioner? When did we offend such a person?”The other board members looked astonished, and a ghost of a smirk flashed in Bryce’s eyes. Ren’s support had come at a perfect time!Bryce said impassively, “As expected. I received credible news that Mr. Cash has offended Sir Osborn of Springside.“And I didn’t believe it at first. I do now!”The old man was alarmed. “What? Sh
Kayson glanced at him and asked, “Uncle Shaun, who’s this?”“One of my company’s board of directors, Bryce Jupp,” Shaun answered.Kayson let out an “oh” and nodded before he told Bryce, “Go to the hospital and get yourself checked. The woman you came in touch with last night has an STD.”Bryce panicked inwardly because he had slept with his mistress last night, yet the whole affair had been kept confidential. There was no way anyone would know! He defended himself frantically. “What is this nonsense you’re talking about?! I was working in my study last night. I didn’t go out at all!”“Oh, it’s fine if you deny it. I was just giving you a friendly reminder.”Shaun confirmed it with a serious face. “Mr. Jupp, Kayson’s a highly-skilled practicing doctor. He wouldn’t make anything up.”Bryce scowled. “No need to be cynical, Shaun. If you don’t resign, we’ll vote!”Kayson reeled in his gaze and spoke up. “Uncle Shaun, I might be able to help if a master-level powerhouse set the fire.
