"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

Just then, Uriah suddenly snorted.Sean, Zander, and the hospital director immediately looked over to see Uriah's wound beginning to seep purplish-black blood."The toxins are seeping out."Sean smiled.He was unsure of saving Uriah on his way here. He came to the hospital with the idea that he would make every possible effort.Now that the treatment was successful, he was naturally happy and overjoyed.The sense of achievement from saving a life was stronger than killing ten people.It was because it was always easier to destroy than to create."Give me medical gauze... No, use the extraction device."Sean said."Let me do it!"Zander was about to hand Sean the precision device the hospital director had just used, but the hospital director pushed him aside and handed Sean the device first.Was the hospital director competing to be the commander's assistant?The hospital director had been contemptuous of the commander earlier.Zander looked on with some amusement.You go

The hospital director's action was so sudden that no one anticipated it.Hence, Zander was a little surprised.Looking at the hospital director, who was proud earlier but had now bowed to Sean to show his respect, he was pleased.Sean remained expressionless."Commander Lennon, I was blind. To tell the truth, I used to look down on traditional medicine and think it was a trick to scam people, but I've found how ridiculously wrong I am. I will study traditional medicine and improve my medical skills to save people!"The hospital director said earnestly."It's good that you think that way."Sean nodded and strode out of Dorodo People's Hospital.Looking at the night sky, Sean let out a long sigh of relief.Even though Killer X was caught, the assassin died too quickly to be interrogated, so they failed to get a proper interrogation report. They also had no idea who Killer X was, who sent her, and what her purpose was.With the assassin's death, everything was shrouded in a fog,
