Chapter 8 He Comes

Author: J.J. Twelve
"But it’s been 20 minutes! No way that kind of guy exists! No one can resurrect the dead!"

…

The people in the ER were displeased. Even Caleb Stone could not save the Iron Dragon, and he was hailed as the Best Doctor in Silverton. The people grumbled, asking why they took the Iron Dragon here instead of Providence Hospital. That was the best one around.

Sylvie was facing a lot of pressure. Not even the healers from Imperia Golden Healing Chamber could do anything about it, and they were sent by the Dragon Protectors.

The military was already prepared to give the Iron Dragon a grand funeral, yet Sylvie claimed she knew someone who could raise him from the dead. Of course they were shocked.

A bodyguard came rushing in. "Mr. Norwood is here, Ms. Stanton!"

Everyone turned around, their eyes resting on Evan.

William and the others were bemused.

Even Sylvie was stunned for a moment. 'Is that really him?' she thought.

He was in a suit last time they met, and he sported the most popular haircut of the year. Now, he was in casual wear, and he had a buzzcut. Evan looked more like a man now. Even his gaze was sharper.

Sylvie was still surprised. "I thought you were cutting your family off?"

A smile curled Evan's face. "Thanks to you, I did it. Now, I only live for myself."

"I see." She shared his smile. For some reason, she was really happy to see Evan's change.

Suddenly, an icy voice asked, "You're the guy Ms. Stanton claimed could save the Iron Dragon?"

The woman's voice brought down the room's temperature. Everyone shivered as if they'd landed in winter. A group of people stood up, and their eyes were piercing Evan.

Evan looked at them as well. He was surprised. Unlike the special forces, they were in all black windbreakers. And they shared the same look in their eyes. Together, they were like a looming mountain.

One of them was a woman, the one who spoke. She was cold and clean, yet her face was devoid of any emotion. The gleaming leather suit only served to make her colder, as if she was someone who should only exist in the world of comic books.

She was Aria Drakon, the mentee of Stanton the Iron Dragon and the leader of Dragon’ Breath, one of his seven special forces.

Before Evan could even answer, a mocking voice spoke up. "No one can do that, Ms. Drakon. Dr. Westfield has confirmed that the bullet's shrapnel hit his lungs. No one can save him."

William sneered. "No one actually believes in resurrections. Medicine is more advanced than it ever was, and it hasn’t even touched resurrection. If we miss the time for the funeral just for this lad, there’s going to be a lot to answer to."

Everyone shared the same complaints, and they agreed with William.

"I think Ms. Stanton was scammed."

"Obviously. She's in a hurry to save the Iron Dragon, so she grabbed at any straw she could. And then she got scammed."

"And the guy actually showed up! The gall! He probably has no idea who he just lied to!"

…

Some of the special forces were already pulling out their guns. The Iron Dragon was the object of their faith and a legend among the military. His death was the nation's loss. He should have a grand funeral, yet they wasted twenty minutes just for this charlatan.

Even Aria's men looked angry. Their eyes turned icy.

Sylvie panicked. She knew how absurd she sounded, since resurrection was a miracle medicine never managed to perform. But now all her hopes were on Evan. He healed her, and she wanted to believe he could do the same for her grandfather.

"Wait! I would never joke about Grandpa's condition! He does know what he's doing! He healed me!"

The announcement came as a bombshell.

Aria's men were stunned, and William was shocked. Everyone in this room knew Sylvie was hit by frost poison and would die within the year.

    "I'm going to die… Hazel, Roxanne, I'm really going to die! Ah!"Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya immediately rushed forward to support him. They only managed to calm Zeke down together. Fortunately, their efforts were enough to get his breathing under control."Zeke, you'll be fine. We still have Evan even though we got scammed!""If push comes to shove, we'll just nab Evan off the streets and force him to do a blood transfusion!"They knew it might cause irreversible consequences, but they were willing to risk everything for Zeke's sake. Alas, their words didn't assuage Zeke's panic. If anything, it only made his panic worse.He wasn't rattled by the scamming. Hazel and the others being fooled had nothing to do with him. However, he did care about Evan's life. After all, his lifeline was about to be killed.The three women stared at him in confusion. Finally, Zeke blurted for the sake of his continued survival, "Hazel, you have to save Evan! There's no time!""Evan? What about him?" T

    'What?! Synthetic blood? We got scammed?!'A dull boom echoed in Zeke's mind as he staggered backward and collapsed onto the hospital bed. His brain had gone completely blank. Soon, he felt a crushing weight pressed hard against his chest. It felt so heavy that the sheer weight made it seem that it could stop his heart altogether. After all, his plans had just gone up in flames.In fact, now he was terrified of one possibility—Evan dying. He would never have sent someone after Evan if he'd known the blood was fake.When Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya rushed in after hearing the news, their faces had gone pale."Are you sure? You'd better not be messing around!" Hazel demanded urgently, glaring at the doctor."I am. We ran extraction tests over and over. This is synthetic blood."After multiple rounds of testing, they quickly discovered the truth—the blood was artificial, meant to mimic the real thing.'Boom!'The women started to tremble when they laid their eyes on the real test r

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 98 Instant Karma

    Roxanne frowned as they headed toward the hospital."It's probably because of that banquet," Hazel and Anya reasoned. Roxanne thought about it carefully and found that there really was no other reason. Still, the Stone family banquet hadn't exactly been their fault.They arrived at the hospital shortly after. The arrangement was simple. All they had to do was take the blood bags and pay afterward. Unfortunately, they didn't see the so-called donor when they arrived. Instead, a nurse hurried over with a blood bag and a slip of paper.She said this was the blood they needed, along with the bank account the donor wanted the money wired to. The nurse explained that the donor didn't want any unnecessary contact with them. The nurse also said that the hospital had already tested the blood, and it was a match. Only then did the three heiresses finally relax and transfer the money.Zeke's face lit up when he heard it was the right blood type. As the transfusion began, his condition began

    "What? You found him?!" Anya blurted in astonishment."Yes! After I posted the reward notice, someone contacted me and said he was the one who donated blood at the hospital that day!"If Evan had been there, he would've been stunned. He was the actual donor. Hence, anyone else could only be an impostor.Unfortunately, the girls didn't know that. They genuinely thought the mysterious donor had been found. There was finally hope for Zeke's survival.Anya immediately rushed to the hospital to meet up with Hazel and Roxanne. "Who is he?"Roxanne handed over the man's information. That individual was a complete stranger. He also had demands, specifically that he wanted to be paid 750 thousand upfront before agreeing to donate."Can we trust him?" Anya frowned."He sent over a copy of his lab results. It should be genuine," Hazel said. "Besides, Zeke's condition is getting worse."The three of them turned toward Zeke. He was coughing nonstop, his body shivering as he lay on the bed.

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 96 Sylvie's Triumph

    'Well, would you look at that… Ms. Stanton has an incredible figure with curves in all the right places. She definitely lived up to her name of being sylph-like.'Sylvie was slender, completely different from Ivana, who embodied a mature, alluring kind of beauty.Evan had already noticed her figure back when he treated her illness. Still, he hadn't expected her to be so perfectly proportioned. She was the kind of woman who looked delicate in clothes, but looked stunning even without them.What struck him even more was the confusion on her face as she stared at her reflection, poking at her curves, turning this way and that. She was even sighing in frustration as if she truly believed something was wrong.Evan found himself staring, completely absorbed by the scene before him. It wasn't until he felt an odd heat running down his sinuses that he snapped out of it. When he touched his nose, his fingers came away bloody.'A nosebleed?!' He stared at his fingers, utterly shocked. Then,

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 95 Second-Stage Breakthrough

    That life-saving drug was the Leightons' most treasured heirloom. It had been crafted by a medical grandmaster from Imperia. No one ever dared to use it. Yet, Roxanne had stolen it and forced it between Evan's lips.Evan would never forget that night. He had been moments from death when a figure came stumbling toward him barefoot. He could still remember that she had even lost one of her heels while running for her life. He had seen a swarm of vehicles chase her down. He could still remember the battle cries echoing through the streets. Yet, she still pushed a pill into his mouth.After that, Roxanne vanished for three days. Rumor had it that the Leightons dragged her home and confined her to the family's private oratory for three full days.It had been touching back then. However, it only felt absurd after he knew the whole story. "But it doesn't matter anymore. Once I push the Ninefold Arcane Arts to the next stage, I'll return that life-saving drug to you."Evan estimated th
