Hank was also placed on this floor. Originally, he had wanted to choose a ward as close to 1701 as possible, but the FBI had already informed the hospital regarding their arrangement. Although they requisitioned the four rooms from 1701 to 1704, patients starting in 1705 were moved to other wards in the opposite direction of 1701. Based on the FBI's requirements, the wards at the front must be fully occupied before they could be assigned in order, and skipping numbers was not allowed. This meant that the current patients were arranged from rooms 1730 to 1709. If Hank was admitted, he had to stay in room 1708. If more patients were admitted, they would be arranged in room 1707 and so on. When Hank arrived at the hospital, the doctor examined his injuries. Rib fractures were not serious in most cases, especially since Hank's broken ribs were on the right side. Since the ribs in this position were away from the heart, there would be no major complications. The doctor did some simple
Withdrawing the lawsuit was Harrison's only option at this point. He was the one who had sued Raymond in the first place. Given his social status, if he were to inform the police and the court that everything was just a misunderstanding, that Raymond hadn't stolen anything from him, or that the stolen item was merely a fake worth less than a hundred dollars, Raymond would certainly be acquitted. Once Raymond was acquitted, he would be free again, and the FBI would no longer have to closely monitor and protect him. However, doing so would be another public humiliation for the Rothschild family because this would mean that they had framed or misunderstood Raymond on the basis that all the scandals had already been exposed. Alas, Harrison was left with no choice. His intuition told him that he had to find the Four-Sided Treasure Tower as soon as possible. If he failed, his family's two centuries of excellent fortune would probably come to an abrupt end. At this moment, after h
Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro left the airport and walked to Zekeiah's limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom. Zekeiah opened the door for Mr. Zorro. After Mr. Zorro got into the car, he closed the door and walked to the driver's seat. Back in the car, Zekeiah handed Mr. Zorro some printed photos and said, "This is what the British Lord has asked us to find. Please take a look." Mr. Zorro took the photos, glanced over them briefly, and said skeptically, "This is just an ordinary pagoda. What's so great about it that it warrants a personal order from the Lord? Did you find any other information?" Zekeiah answered, "I've asked around, but I don't understand what's so special about this piece of antique. The Rothschild family has not revealed anything either. All I know is that the family's head attaches great importance to this antique. The series of scandals that have recently come to light are mostly caused by it." Mr. Zorro smacked his lips and mumbled, "That's strange. So strange. Such
Once the Qing Eliminating Society stopped his antidote prescription, he would die regardless of his status as the son-in-law of the Acker family or the head of the family. Based on this point, he was destined to rise as high as possible within the Qing Eliminating Society. As for his status in society, it was of little importance. In the Qing Eliminating Society, strength had always been the determining factor. It went without saying that the British Lord was powerful and strong, and next to her, the highest status in the Qing Eliminating Society was the three elders from the Elder Council, followed by the Four Great Earls, and then the descendants of the British Lord's own clan, including Tarlon. Although Tarlon was deeply trusted and valued by the British Lord, in the Qing Eliminating Society, he had to be humble when he saw Mr. Zorro. This was like the royal family in ancient times. Even though the relatives were related to the emperor by blood and had a closer relationsh
Knowing that the Qing Eliminating Society was much more low-profile now, Charlie never expected to cross paths with them during this trip to New York. However, now that he had just arrived on the 17th floor of Manhattan Hospital and a wounded member of the Qing Eliminating Society had been brought in immediately, it couldn't possibly be a coincidence. Charlie's intuition told him that the Qing Eliminating Society must be targeting Raymond, and their purpose of approaching Raymond must be the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. Charlie mumbled under his breath, "Vera told me that Marcius had mentioned the Four-Sided Treasure Tower to her father, so Fleur must know about the existence of the tower. It is very likely that she is the only person in the Qing Eliminating Society who knows the true background of the tower. Now that the society has set its sights on this place, it must be on Fleur's orders." Thinking about this, Charlie became more cautious. He knew that apart from Fleur, th
In Wards 02, 03, and 04, each ward had four agents stationed, while in Ward 1701, besides Raymond, there were six agents closely guarding him. Moreover, the FBI agents were all armed with live ammunition. As soon as someone rushed in, they would shoot without hesitation. The situation would inevitably escalate once a gunfight occurred. Charlie had no grievances with the FBI, nor would he mercilessly attack the FBI agents protecting Raymond, so if force were to be used in this situation, it would essentially be unsolvable. However, there weren't any good breakthroughs with a soft approach either. It was impossible to psychologically manipulate nearly 20 people in a row, right? Even if he managed to take Raymond out, Raymond would become a wanted fugitive. According to Raymond's wishes, he would rather spend his life in prison than be a wanted criminal. Just as Charlie was in a dilemma, a message suddenly popped up on his phone. It was a message from Vera which said, "Mr
"Acquitted?" Charlie asked, "In that case, how long will it take to get everything done?" Julien answered, "It still requires a court hearing as part of the process. The formal procedure would typically be slower, but the previous impact of this case has been too severe, and the judicial department hopes to resolve it quickly. My father is also urging them to handle it as a special case, so the New York court will send a team of judges to the hospital to conduct the court hearing and pronouncement on-site. They are expected to depart in a few hours, and considering all the time involved, the process should be completed around five hours from now at around 7 p.m." Charlie was relieved to hear this. Fleur would need at least ten more hours to arrive. If Raymond could be acquitted in three hours, they could leave the United States directly. He would arrange for Raymond to return to Oskia, and Fleur would not dare to go after them. In fact, it didn't matter if Fleur went after them
Ruby said that Mr. Chardon was the strongest among the four earls. However, even if he hadn't killed himself, he was no match for Charlie. Hence, Charlie had a clear idea about killing Mr. Zorro easily. Nevertheless, having an idea was one thing; whether there would be an opportunity to execute it was another matter entirely. Charlie knew it would be difficult to kill Mr. Zorro in New York. Fighting with someone in the downtown area of a bustling city would do more harm than good. If he performed his execution here, his act might be broadcast live on the internet before he could even kill Mr. Zorro. Hence, it was not a wise option to confront Mr. Zorro directly. Furthermore, he could not use his Reiki to kill him with a single blow. It would likely cause a huge uproar and bizarre headlines if a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down Manhattan Hospital and killed a man. This meant that he would have to think of a hassle-free way to kill Mr. Zorro such as catching him o
