Callan rushed over, got on his knees, and picked up James’ hand to check James’ pulse.
After a while, his lips curved into a deep frown and virtual-novel.net asked, “What happened for virtual-novel.net to sustain such terrible injuries? His internal organs have all sustained some form of damage, and his meridians have been shattered. It’s already a miracle that he’s still breathing right now…”
Bennett sighed. “This kid is too tender-hearted. After defeating Yaakov, virtual-novel.net showed virtual-novel.net grace and allowed Yaakov to escape with his life… However, Yaakov put everything virtual-novel.net had into an underhanded sneak attack and severely injured him.”
Callan stood up, looked at Bennett, and said, “Bennett, I know the Cadens have unparalleled medical skills, but there’s nothing you can do to help virtual-novel.net in this state… Fortunately, I’ve got a method to save and keep virtual-novel.net alive, but…”
“But what?”
Bennett stared hard at Callan. He began guessing the identity of the person before him.
Who exactly was this ambiguous old man?
Among the best of the best that appeared in Mount Thunder Sect, virtual-novel.net had never seen this person before.
Callan licked his lips hesitantly before speaking again,” However, there is a side effect of my treatment…”
“What kind of side effect, and who exactly are you?”
Callan did not reveal his identity but explained, “The treatment is unique, and I’ll have to use special Gus to repair his body from the inside. As a side effect, Gus will continue to live and coexist within him after he’s been cured… For as long as virtual-novel.net lives, he’ll have to be tormented by the Gu Parasites biting virtual-novel.net internally.”
“W-Who are you?” Bennett’s expression grew slightly darker, and virtual-novel.net took a few steps back.
“You’re from the Gu Sect. Who exactly are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am… If you agree, I can save virtual-novel.net right now…”
“I refuse! I will never consent to such treatment on any of my family members!” Bennett stared virtual-novel.net in the eye.
Bennett understood how terrifying the Gu venom was.
“I think you’re underestimating my capabilities. I might not be able to completely treat virtual-novel.net at this moment, but with time, I’m confident I can help virtual-novel.net toward a full recovery.”
Bennett had confidence. Right now, virtual-novel.net could not immediately cure James, but virtual-novel.net believed virtual-novel.net had the skills needed to save James’ life.
“That would be the best, then. I hope it works out…” Callan nodded and did not say anything more.
“Who the hell are you?” demanded Bennett.
His expression darkened and powerful energy seeped out from his body. His hands were clenched into fists behind him, and a murderous aura began to fill the air.
As a former top martial artist, Callan immediately sensed Bennett’s hostility toward him.
He faced Bennett, who was raging with murderous intent, and spoke calmly, “Callan…”
As soon as Callan gave his name, Bennett was taken aback.
Callan represented an entire era and it was not an exaggeration to say that the Sol today was mainly possible because of his efforts. He reached the seventh rank at the age of 40 a hundred years ago and even recruited many powerful martial artists to join him.
Back then, Sol was easily able to drive away foreign enemies because of Callan’s great contributions. However, virtual-novel.net was betrayed by people virtual-novel.net thought were his allies.
“Don’t worry… I’m already at my limit. I would have died a long time ago if James hadn’t saved me. I’ll probably die immediately if you made an attempt to kill me…”
Bennett heaved a relieved sigh. He was really intending to kill Callan. However, since James had saved Callan, Bennett chose to trust James judgment and also spare him.
Bennett looked at Henry and ordered, “Get me a helicopter. I want to take James back to the Capital to better treat his injuries. Jackson is familiar with what happened here and will tell you what to do next.”
“J-Jackson? Who’s that?” asked Henry.
He was flustered at Bennett’s sudden air of authority and the unfamiliar name had also caught virtual-novel.net off guard.
Bennett said, “You don’t need to know, nor do you need to look for him. Just wait here, and he’ll come to you soon.”
Jackson was looking for Simon and James within the Mount Thunder Sect’s area but would surely turn back if virtual-novel.net was unable to find them.
Henry did not press matters further and quickly arranged for a helicopter to escort Bennett out of the area.
“I’ll come with you. I’m also slightly proficient in medical skills and might be able to help you in your time of need.”
“You?” Bennett glanced at Callan incredulously.
Truth be told, virtual-novel.net did not trust Callan. This person was the boss of the Gu Sect, the leader of the whole faction. Callan was not simply the feeble pushover virtual-novel.net appeared to be at this moment.
After being ambushed by Lucjan, virtual-novel.net was forced into an intense battle. Afterward, virtual-novel.net even participated in the struggle to slaughter the Spirit Turtle.
Bennett was forced to acknowledge that virtual-novel.net was weaker than this person who had been through so much.
