They had no choice but to fight back. “Why are you still here!? Run!” Dax yelled when he saw that Darryl did not run away but stayed with him. Dax blocked the sword with his ax. “Ignorance kills,” Abbess Mother Serendipity scoffed. ‘He was only a Master General. What made him think he could fight. He was asking to be killed,’ she thought.Without warning, Abbess Mother Serendipity moved swiftly, and her sword went right through Dax’s heart. Instantly, blood gushed out of his chest, uncontrollably. Dax slowly fell to the ground. The sword went through his body. “Argh!” Dax groaned and staggered in pain, his aura weakening immediately. “Dax!” Darryl groaned as he watched Dax in pain, shivering. He rushed toward Dax to hold him up, but by then, Dax’s face had already turned pale as blood kept spilling out of him, staining his body. He could feel that he would not make it this time, but he did not regret what he did. “Dax…” Darryl groaned with anger, his eyes blood
Abbess Mother Serendipity landed steadily on the floor. She looked around but did not see Darryl. “You’re lucky to have gotten away today, but I’ll kill you the next time I see you,” she muttered with the sword in her hand. She was standing in a pool of blood on the floor that must have been Dax’s. He was unlikely to make it. Then, she made her way back to the ward. On her way back, she could not help wondering what happened.‘Why did my sword not hurt him? Even if he mastered one of those self-defenses like the Golden Defense, with his power of a Master General, there was no way he could have shielded himself from the sword,’ she thought. Meanwhile, the ward was filled with silence. Abbess Mother Serendipity walked in and glanced around. “Old Master Darby, I’m sorry if I frightened you earlier. I’m sorry that I let the bastard get away. Please, rest. I’ll leave you with your family.” She was ashamed to have let Darryl run away.Old Master Darby nodded and watched her ti
Meanwhile, Old Master Darby took in a long breath and said, “Director Sullivan, the operation is happening tomorrow? I’ll get some rest now.” All he could think of was what happened earlier. His eyes darkened in anger, so he wanted to get some rest. Shelly smiled and nodded. “That’s right. The operation is tomorrow. Please keep the noise down when Old Master Darby is sleeping. He needs all the rest he can get before the operation tomorrow.” With that, Shelly left the ward. After she left, Yumi walked forward and said, “Why don’t you all go back and get some rest? I’ll stay here with Florian to take care of Grandpa.” Everyone had stayed here since last night. None of them managed to get any rest. Drake was tired as he asked, “Are you two alright staying here?” “Dad, we’ll be fine,” Yumi smiled. “Florian and I will take good care of Grandpa. Just go home and get some rest.” “Alright, alright.” Drake was pleased that his son was lucky to have such an understanding wife.
Florian clenched his fists tight. ‘I’m sorry, Grandpa. I really don’t want to donate my bone marrow, and I have no other choice. If I donate my bone marrow now, how will I lead the family in the future?’ Florian thought.“Grandpa. Grandpa?” he mumbled softly. Old Master Darby did not respond. He must have fallen asleep. Seeing no reaction, Florian was excited and nervous. After locking the door from the inside, he walked to the side of the bed. Yumi took a few deep breaths before she walked to the door and looked around to make sure nobody was passing by. Florian grabbed a pillow and pressed it onto Old Master Darby’s face. “Hmph…” Old Master Darby woke up all of a sudden. However, he was now an ordinary man and had no power to fight back. Florian pressed the pillow into his face harder. He let Old Master Darby struggle without flinching. Not long after, Old Master Darby stopped struggling, and his legs straightened. Florian was dripping with sweat when he finally re
The doctor took a deep breath and announced somberly, “Old Master Sanders, Young Master Sanders condition is not looking good. The sword went through his body, he’s lost a significant amount of blood, and his organs were damaged. During the operation earlier, I only managed to stop the blood and stabilize it temporarily. From what I can tell, he’ll only make it for another day.” Old Master Sanders’ heart sank as his mouth opened. “And…what will happen after that?” Darryl clenched his fists instinctively; he felt like his heart was in his mouth. The doctor remained somber. “Old Master Sanders, I’ve tried my best. Please, prepare for the funeral.” He bowed and walked to the side. It was as if Old Master Sanders was struck by lightning. He shivered and took a few steps backward. “My darling! Nancy sobbed as she trembled uncontrollably. ‘How could it be? Dax wasn’t going to make it? Impossible! Impossible!’ Darryl thought. He was dumbstruck, and a loud buzz filled his ears
The doctor felt guilty. He had been appointed as the family doctor for many years, yet he could not save Dax at this crucial moment. Old Master Darby would not give up, so he asked again, “Doctor, what if the hole in the lung can be blocked? Would that save my grandson?” ‘Blocking the hole in the lung…’ the doctor considered it for a while and shook his head. Theoretically speaking, of course, the Young Master could be saved if the hole was blocked. However, the hole was deep and large, and with the current medical advancement, there was no way we could block up the hole. “There is a way!” Old Master Sanders said, his eyes sparkling. “There’s actually something that could block the hole.” “What is it?” Darryl replied. Old Master Sanders said with excitement, “Ten years ago, during the first Roger’s Auction, they sold something called Heart of the Ocean. This pill can heal a wound in an organ.” ‘Heart of the Ocean?’ Darryl thought. His eyes sparkled with a faint glow of
Back at Donghai City, something was going on inside the Adios cafe. This was a popular café in the city, known for its elegant ambiance and fancy decor. Even though the food cost more than any of the other cafés in town, this remained a favorite dating spot for rich kids, even if that meant paying a thousand extra bucks for a cup of coffee. Usually, this café was filled with customers, but it was unusually quiet today. Only a few young ladies sat around a table. Every one of them was gorgeous, and they would have caught the eyes of any man who set foot in the café. Circe Newman and her friends rented the entire space for coffee today. Even sitting among the other ladies, Circe still stood out as the most gorgeous one. Today, she was dressed in a pair of tight denim jeans, topped with a coffee-brown jumper. Her glowing hair rested on her shoulder, which made her look sexy and charming. Beside her was a lady with burgundy hair, and she looked as good as Circe. It was Evelyn Feather
Circe bit her lips as she thought about Darryl, which made her upset. She had invited him to dinner twice, but he always found an excuse to get out of it. Two days ago, she invited him to the villa to refine pills, but he ran away halfway through. He was not a man of his word! Circe said to Evelyn flatly, “Evelyn, turn it off.” She did not want to speak to Darryl. However, Evelyn shook her head and smirked, “Why? He ran away the other day! I’m intrigued to find out what he’s got to say.” She answered the call and put it on the loudspeaker. After answering the call, Evelyn yelled, “Why are you calling, douchebag?” Darryl was panicking as sweat dripped down his head. He asked politely, “May I know if Miss Newman is with you?” Only the Heart of the Ocean could save Dax. He had to get hold of it no matter what it took. “She’s not here,” Evelyn answered coldly. He never explained why he ran away and instead asked for Circe right away. What a rude guy. Did he think he could g
