Chapter 1667
Shania froze.She never expected an old lady kneeling on the street begging for donations would be the hidden Killer X!Likewise, Uriah was unable to respond immediately.It was because it happened too suddenly and too fast. Saying it happened in the blink of an eye was insufficient to describe it.It would be strange if Uriah could react in time.However, just as Shania closed her eyes and waited to die while the dagger was about to stab her, a stone shot out of the blue.The ordinary little stone made a sharp screech when it rubbed against the air. It was unlike a stone but a sharp arrow—a powerful sharp arrow!The old lady's expression changed as she quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding the stone's attack.The stone hit a nearby wall and made a hole in the concrete wall with a bang!If the stone had landed on a human body, it would have pierced it!The person throwing the stone was none other than Sean!"Still in a daze?"Sean reminded him.Uriah finally came to himself

Then again.Zander had grown by going through countless wars with Sean.Having never experienced bloodshed or fire, Uriah was no match for Zander.After Sean's reminder, Uriah finally came to his senses.He withdrew his shocked gaze from Sean and lowered his head in shame.He winced at the thought of trying to draw his sword at Sean in front of the supermarket.If he had drawn his sword, Sean would have killed him right away!He was not even qualified to wield a sword in front of Sean!"Call the police. Call the sheriff's department. Tell them we caught the killer... Do I need to teach you how to do such a little thing?"Sean said, looking at Uriah as he walked over.Uriah wiped the blood from his face and lowered her head as he replied in acknowledgment."Let me do it."Knowing that the danger had passed and the killer had been caught, Shania became excited and eager.She quickly pulled out an exquisite phone and called the sheriff's department.Sean handed the remaining

"Got it."Sean nodded.Then Quentin hung up.A short time later, 800 thousand dollars was credited to Sean's bank account.It was the money Sean spent on Shania's necklace, which Quentin sort of paid back to Sean.Just then, Zander strode in."Commander, has Killer X been caught?"Zander asked with a smile.Assassins had always been scary and would destabilize a city.Thus, Zander was strongly hostile to assassins.Now that Killer X was caught, he was happy, of course."Yes, but she died before we could get anything from the interrogation, so I think there's more to this. I'll lift the lockdown in a few days," said Sean."Got it."Zander gave a heavy nod.Night soon fell.The canteen of the army camp was crowded.After a day's training, the soldiers were tired but full of spirit.Although tired, their faces were glowing. They chatted and laughed with their comrades while getting dinner, occasionally telling dirty jokes.Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the

"It's understandable that you want to eat and rest early after a long day of training. But is it appropriate to fight over such a trivial matter? You're all city defense soldiers, who went to war together. Don't you understand that?"Sean scolded exasperatedly.The two city defense soldiers lowered their heads in shame.The soldiers around them who had been heckling earlier looked ashamed."Commander Young and I will let you have our food, but you must also be punished!"Sean then looked at Zander and ordered, "Commander Young, take them outside to do five sets of push-ups. No eating until they finish!""Yes!"Zander gave a military salute before leading the two city defense soldiers out of the canteen to do push-ups in front of the main entrance.One set of push-ups was 20, so five sets were 100.They could take a one-minute break after each set.Sean and Zander's dinner was placed in front of the two city defense soldiers.Other city defense soldiers who had finished their

Sean shook his head.Just then, a phone call came through.Sean picked up his phone to find a call from Quentin.It was late. Why did Quentin call?Though confused, Sean answered the call, and Quentin's voice immediately came from the phone."I'm sorry to bother you so late, Commander Lennon."Quentin said on the phone. Though it was apologetic, his voice obviously panicked."Did something happen?" Sean asked."Well, my daughter's bodyguard, Uriah, fought Killer X today and got injured. The assassin's dagger is unexpectedly poisoned. Uriah is poisoned and in a coma. He's being hospitalized, but the doctors here seem to be at their wit's end."'So that's it.'Sean instantly felt that he had been careless.During the day, when he found the female assassin, he did not immediately kill her because the bodyguard, Uriah, was present.He would not have struck if Uriah had been able to tackle the female assassin on his own.Had he known then that the female assassin's weapon was p

"They're still working on it."Quentin replied."How long has he been in there?"Sean glanced at the closed door of the emergency room."It's been three hours."Quentin said with a wry smile.'Three hours!'Three hours, and he's still unconscious? He's not out of the woods yet?'Just then, Quentin's daughter, Shania, walked over and said with slightly red eyes, "Mr. Lennon, is my bodyguard... Uriah going to die?""Do you want him dead?"Sean asked in reply."Of course not. He got hurt trying to save me..."Shania's eye sockets got even redder."Then he's not going to die."Sean said earnestly.Then Sean headed for the emergency room door with Zander right behind him.The emergency room door was automatic. As soon as Sean came to the door, the emergency room door opened automatically, and what was going on in the emergency room was revealed to Sean.It was called an emergency room but was no different than a surgery room.Under the surgical lamp, Uriah lay ghastly pale

Hearing this, Zander instantly snapped and said, "Shut up! Who do you think you're talking to? I'm afraid you're not the hospital director yet when our commander saved people on the battlefield!"Upon hearing Zander's words, the hospital director instantly became angrier.He shouted angrily." I don't care who you are. Get out of here now and don't interrupt me from saving the patient!"With that said, the hospital director opened Uriah's wounds with tweezers and used a special precision device to clean toxins from the wound.The device sucked fluid from the area around the wound into a vacuum bottle. It could suck out toxins to a certain extent but also remove fluids and blood from the wound and even some soft tissue, thus causing some damage to the patient.You could see it in Uriah's still-contorted face while he was unconscious.Zander tried to say more, but Sean raised his hand and stopped him.The hospital director ignored Sean and Zander and proceeded to perform minimally

"Special needle treatment? Is this traditional medicine?"The hospital director asked."Yes, it's traditional medicine."Zander answered for Sean."Traditional medicine is outdated, and many of its treatments have no basis in modern medicine."The hospital director said proudly."The so-called no basis is only because the mystery hasn't been discovered. Besides, it doesn't matter. What matters is whether the problem is eventually solved and the person is saved!"Zander said with emphasis.Zander spoke rudely, but what he said made sense.It bothered Zander, but he could not argue further.Sean lifted his hands and applied pressure to Uriah's body with special needle treatment, especially around the wound."What are you doing now?"The hospital director continued asking.Zander could not answer him this time. He did not understand either.Sean said flatly, "When the human body is poisoned, your immune system automatically kicks in and fights against the toxin. During this
