Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Karto welcomed its first rain after the start of summer in September. The downpour drove the scorching heat away and brought along the much-needed cool weather.
However, at this moment, there was an extremely suffocating and oppressive pressure in the battle division’s command center in Karto that made everyone inside silent.
It was a large-scale military movement involving the Four Great Gods of War, Five Great Kings of War, and 10,000 soldiers. A military movement like this was almost impossible to witness in these times of peace.
However, they were witnessing it. It was happening right before their eyes.
This was not a drill.
It was a real operation!
It was a once-in-a-lifetime operation!
Patrick Stone took a few deep breaths to forcefully suppress his feelings of unease.
He came to his senses with much effort, then immediately whipped out a special phone and quickly entered a string of numbers.
The string of numbers was the same one Bruce White had dialed when he just got out of prison.
It was a top-secret number that reached the highest authorities!
Patrick Stone was only authorized to dial this number when a strong enemy was attacking Langdon.
It was obvious that Patrick Stone thought that this operation was similar to an invasion of a strong enemy!
“Stone, we already know about what happened. All you need to know is that Bruce White is Langdon’s strongest military lord! Since ancient times, soldiers are not to be humiliated. Furthermore, the person who is being humiliated now is Langdon’s strongest military lord! We have reached a consensus on the matter. We believe in Bruce White and are willing to let him do what he wants! At the same time, we are also issuing you an order. Cooperate with all of Bruce White’s actions. Eliminate the tumors hiding within society! Cleanse the country of its impurities and restore Langdon to its previous glory!”
Cleanse the country of its impurities and restore Langdon to its previous glory?
Whoosh!
A strong sense of purpose welled up in Patrick Stone’s heart. It took only a second for his once-still blood to boil with passion.
Patrick Stone’s fighting spirit was raging. He felt as though he could hear the cries of a million war horses!
“I’ll definitely complete the mission!”
With a thump, Patrick Stone decisively brought his feet together and raised his arm. As a soldier, he had said that with a powerful voice. His tone was stern, grave, and ceremonious!
This was his promise to his country, its citizens, and to himself. He would not stop until he completed this mission!
While Patrick Stone was making his promise, Jordan Stuart appeared at a prestigious mansion in another sector of Javon. He looked at the mansion in front of him a little playfully.
“I was wondering why I couldn’t find that b*tch, Brianne Taylor. So she has hidden herself at the Liams. The Liams sure are impressive!”
Jordan Stuart alighted from his sports car when he arrived at the Liams’ mansion. He laughed playfully. Several black business cars arrived in succession. A dozen people got down from the cars and stood behind Jordan Stuart.
“Miss, Jordan Stuart has arrived. He’s outside the mansion.”
The Liams had been the undisputed richest family in Javon and were hailed as the King of Javon before the arrival of Timothy Stuart.
However, ever since Timothy Stuart’s rapid rise in influence and power, the Liams had kept an increasingly low profile.
Now, people would only think of Timothy Stuart when the King of Javon was mentioned.
“Brianne, have you thought it through? You’ll definitely fall into Jordan Stuart’s evil hands if you go out now. You’ll become his plaything!”
The person who spoke was Wallace Liam’s only daughter, Priscilla Liam. She was also Brianne Taylor’s best friend.
This time, Brianne Taylor had managed to avert the crisis thanks to Priscilla Liam’s help. Otherwise, Brianne Taylor would have been the one kidnapped by Jordan Stuart.
“Priscilla, I really have no choice left. My father has already been killed by them when he tried to help my brother repeal his case. I can’t look on helplessly as my mother continues to get tortured by them. I’ll do anything they want me to as long as my mother–” Brianne Taylor started to cry.
Brianne Taylor had not slept a wink in the past three days. Now, both her body and mind were on the verge of breaking down.
“Brianne, they will not let your family off no matter what you do. Aren’t you just giving yourself over to them on a silver platter if you head over now? Let’s wait for a while more. My dad’s coming back tomorrow. He’ll definitely find a way to help you. Let’s just wait for one more day, alright?” Priscilla Liam said, feeling sorry for Brianne Taylor.
In the past, Brianne Taylor had been active and lively, and her life was filled with sunshine. It was Brianne Taylor’s positivity that brought Priscilla Liam out of her darkest days.
However, Brianne Taylor was now downtrodden after having been ravaged by life. All there was left in her life was pain.
Priscilla Liam really felt sorry for Brianne Taylor but there was nothing she could do to help.
The troubles plaguing Brianne Taylor were no longer something that she or the Liams could help her with.
All of this was caused by one man. It was a man whom Brianne Taylor once loved deeply but now hated to the core.
It was Brianne Taylor’s adoptive brother, the Taylors’ adopted son, Bruce White!
The criminal who had been sent to jail for financial crimes!
Though Brianne Taylor’s family was certain that Bruce White had been framed and possessed evidence to support that claim, Priscilla Liam knew Bruce White had most likely offended someone important. It was near impossible for his case to be repealed.
Brianne Taylor’s father had been killed because he had been investigating Bruce White’s incarceration. It was obvious that the person Bruce White offended came from a massively influential family.
Thus, Priscilla Liam could not help Brianne Taylor even if she wanted to.
All she could do now was protect Brianne Taylor as best as possible with the Liams’ influence in Javon.
However, Brianne Taylor’s thoughts were in a whirl. She did not care about her safety at all.
“Priscilla, thank you for your goodwill but I’ve already decided. Let’s end all of this. All I wish for is my mum to come back safely.”
The dispirited Brianne Taylor walked out of the door after she finished saying her piece.
...
At the same time, in the reception area of a private hospital in Javon.
Bruce White charged into the hospital with his unconscious adoptive mother in his arms.
The aura of battle and blood had not settled yet. His raging, merciless aura attracted the attention of the people around him.
Everyone instinctively made way for him.
“Doctor, save her. Quickly, quickly, quickly!!!”
Several nurses ran into the reception area immediately. They were immediately shocked by Bruce White’s aura when they saw the person in his arms. They could not stop themselves from screaming.
“Quickly! Arrange for an operating theater. Do a blood test on her immediately. Prepare blood for a blood transfusion!”
A young female doctor walked out when she heard the commotion. She could not be bothered with the administrative processes when she saw how urgent the situation was and immediately called for the necessary arrangements to be made.
However, none of the nurses behind her moved.
“Jessica, did you forget what the director told you? We’ve already broken the rules twice previously. Do you want to do it a third time?”
“That’s right, Jessica. You are the youngest doctor in our hospital and the director will not really reprimand you. The most he’ll do to you is give a light warning. However, we are the ones who will face his wrath.”
“That’s right. Don’t you understand that we have to be paid before we tend to patients? After all, we are a private hospital, not a public-run charity organization.”
The young female doctor, whose name was Jessica, could not help but scold the nurses in anger when she heard what they said, “This is a life, a human life! Did your teachers not teach you that human life was of utmost importance when you were in nursing school! Did they not teach you that medical personnel had to have benevolence and compassion?”
The young female doctor was furious but the nurses remained rooted in place.
“You can save her yourself if you want to. We are not going to take the blame for you!” At this time, a senior nurse crossed her arms and walked into the reception area. She looked like she could not care less.
She was the chief nurse of this hospital. She was the nurse with the most experience and seniority. Jessica could not do anything about her.
“You guys!”
Jessica was furious. Her eyes turned red. However, she could not do an operation alone. She might cause a medical accident if she did not have any help.
The operation might fail, or worse, the patient might die.
Just as the young female doctor was at a loss about what to do, a slap reverberated through the hospital’s reception area.
Then, the group saw a person crash onto a pillar in the reception area.
“You- You- You dare to hit me?!” The chief nurse covered her swollen face and pointed a trembling finger at Bruce White.
“Hit you?” Bruce White’s expression turned ice cold.. He instantly enveloped the chief nurse in his raging aura. “I also dare to kill you if anything happens to my adoptive mother!!!”
