Chapter 1063 Be Careful

The sun was setting, and the surgery for Clement came to an end. Zephyr had injected just enoughanesthetic for Clement to wake up half an hour after the surgery ended.

Raymond had been staying by Clement's side all this time, and he asked anxiously, "So, how do youfeel?"

"Nothing." Clement shook his head. His wound was excruciating before he fainted, and now he felta lot better.

"What do you mean, nothing?" Raymond stared at Clement's leg, frowning. "Did you lose feeling inyour whole leg?" He immediately pinched Clement's leg.

Clement inhaled sharply and shot Raymond a glare. "Now I feel something." He gritted his teeth."Really?"

"Yeah, I feel I shouldn't have saved you.”

Huh.

Zephyr shook his head. "I just administered some painkillers. What do you want him to feel?Agony?"

Raymond shut up. He was worried about Clement largely because he suspected Zephyr, but nowZephyr proved that he was at least an ethical doctor. He won't mind our attitude. "Thank you," saidRaymond seriously.

Zephyr changed the subject. "I'll hand over the meds he needs to your doctors. All they have to dois keep an eye on him. Both of you may go now.”

"Thank you, Dr. Lorwhal. We'll be going now." Raymond apologized and carried Clement away onhis shoulder like he was a sack of potatoes.

When they were finally gone, Zephyr heaved a sigh of relief and cleaned the place up, but a shortwhile later, Zephyr heard soft footsteps from behind him. He immediately picked up a used scalpeland flung it in the direction of the intruder.

The scalpel hit a rack and was buried deep in the door.

Someone clapped. In came a Caucasian man wearing a two-piece suit and a dark green top hat. Hisbeard was gray, yet his skin was as smooth as a young man's. It was difficult to tell just how old hewas. "I expected no less from Area X's best doctor. You've improved a lot ever since we last met.Soon you'll be the perfect doctor.”

Zephyr narrowed his eyes, a dark light glinting within them. "How did you get in?" He wasn'tsurprised to see the intruder. He was Area X's person in charge and his ex-boss—Yosef.

Back when he was in Area X, Yosef promised to lend his services to a group of bloodthirsty b*stardsthe moment he showed his talent, and he did so without asking for any permission. Thinking thatYosef was a sc*m who would do anything for profit, they got into a fight and went their own ways.Zephyr was one inch from death when he left Area X, but he held on by sheer determination. Oncehe was all healed up, he ran around different countries helping those who needed it. Thanks to that,he gained great fame, and Yosef told everyone he was working for Area X as if their separation hadnever happened.

Zephyr never cleared things up. He didn't want to, nor was there a need to.

The overly friendly Yosef sat on the only couch in the room and shrugged. "Smith Co. is nothingonce Alexander is taken out. Nobody even saw me coming in."

"You wish to kill Alexander?" Zephyr saw through Yosef easily.

Yosef's smile disappeared and was replaced by a solemn look. "It's a dog-eat-dog world out there.You either eat or be eaten. I'm doing this for the greater good. If we can take Smith Co. down, thenArea X will have an easier time."

"I'm not interested in your scheme.” Zephyr narrowed his eyes, staring at Yosef dangerously."Matthew took someone I care about away. Do you know that?"

"Is that so?" Yosef pretended to be surprised. “I had no idea. Is it her? Damn him. How could he dothat to someone so adorable?"

"You know how important she is to me. Matthew had better give her back to me, or I will destroyArea X and everyone in it. That is a promise.” Zephyr spoke calmly, but it was bone-chilling for somereason.

When Yosef met his eyes, he quickly looked away as he felt a bit guilty. Then, he rubbed his chin andsaid, "Matthew's just doing this to get back at Alexander. Now that he's sick, all you have to do istake him down, and I'm sure Matthew will give her back to you safe and sound.”

Good. Now he admits that he sanctioned Matthew's actions. Yosef came here today to warn himthat he must kill Alexander soon if he wanted to see that girl alive. Using someone else to do hisdirty work was what Yosef was great at.

"I know what I'm doing. I don't need you to lecture me." Zephyr wasn't bowing down and retorted,"Don't forget that Smith Co. isn't as weak as you think. The lieutenants and Alexander's brothersaren't as simple as you think they are. Working with Matthew might be your downfall.”

Yosef laughed maniacally. He then got up and patted Zephyr's shoulder. "Oh, I'm sure I'll still standtall. After all, I have you helping me."

Zephyr was the one who poisoned Alexander, while Matthew was the one who was threateningthem. Even if they could get to Yosef, all he had to do was make up an excuse, and he would getaway easily. There's nothing to fear.

Zephyr gritted his teeth. "You had better wish she’s fine, or else.”

Alicia came to Suella's home early the next day. She was going with Suella to take the report, butwhen she got there, Suella told her she already had the report, and it proved that Danny was theone who violated her. Now all they had to do was negotiate.

Alicia went with her. I've come this far.

Ariel and Danny were already waiting for them when they arrived. They took their seats, and Suellapushed the report over to Danny. "Take a look."

Ariel placed her hand on the report. "No need for that. Thirty million, I take it?"

"Yes. Dollars, of course. Not any other currency,” Suella emphasized. She then looked Ariel in theeye. "I'm sure.”

Ariel nodded and flipped through the report, then she looked at Alicia. "Miss Heidelberg, you heardher. She claims that Danny violated her and demands thirty million from us. Is that your idea?"Alicia nodded, but then she denied it, "I said she could demand compensation, but I didn't expect itto be this much. I know it's a lot of money, so there's space to negotiate.” Thirty million is indeed abit too much.
