“That… Whatever Five-star Warlord is so unreasonable. I was surprised how such a young woman could become a Five-star Warlord? The title must have been bought through connections or money, that’s what I think.” Cheryl was filled with righteous indignation. Seeing her sweetheart being beaten to the point he coughed up blood, she was sorely tempted to fight against that woman herself.
Alex, who had been walking like a dying man, suddenly pressed his hand on Cheryl’s mouth.
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Cheryl was taken aback. “Alex, you’re okay?”
Wallace was also a little surprised. “Master Alex, earlier… You were only pretending?”
Alex wiped away the blood with his hand and said in a low voice, “It’s not all pretending. The blood is real, and that woman is really powerful. That’s the first time I’ve seen someone like that! Even if we’re outside the hospital and standing here talking, perhaps she can still hear us!”
Just now, Alex could feel that woman exploring his body. He had a feeling like he had been stripped.
More importantly, Jade Benmore’s attention had been focused on his mind palace.
The moment when Jade’s palm had touched his body, the Chaos Bead in his mind palace had taken the initiative to protect its host, wanting to jump out immediately, but was suppressed abruptly by Alex. If the Chaos Bead had been too active, Jade would be able to detect it. If she was greedy and wanted to take the Chaos Bead for herself, what could he do?
Therefore, he couldn’t expose the Chaos Bead even if he got injured. When Wallace and Cheryl heard this, they shut up immediately.
The three of them left Military Premier Hospital quickly.
***
In the consultation room, Damian was still taking the chance to bring down Wallace.
“Humph, just because Wallace is famous among the common folks, he doesn’t know his position anymore! He even dared to leave during the consultation for Commander Benmore…”
Jade glanced at him. “Enough. Dean Yoke, let’s start!”
Each of her men immediately pulled out a bag of documents.
Riiip!
She tore her trousers open, revealing… A black thigh.
“What…?!”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw it. There was a massive wound on her thigh, and the skin and flesh didn’t cover it. From the wound itself to the surrounded area, it was all pitch black and large patches. Some areas had begun to rot, and black liquid seeped out of it.
Dragging such a leg here, how was she able to walk in such a dignified and graceful manner?
If it were anyone else, they would already be lying on the ground, unable to move.
After Damian had looked at it, he was extremely shocked and said, “The poison has already progressed to this extent, and it looks like… Amputation is the only way left!”
Jade’s subordinates immediately said, “No amputation! The commander’s health is paramount to the safety of the country. None of her limbs can be amputated. If that’s the only way, why would we have called for famous doctors like you?”
