James smiled robotically. Stiffly, he stood up, just like a wooden puppet. Step by step, he left Century Hospital.

He bought Thea her ranking, making her the laughing stock of Cansington and the medical conference.

He did not care.

He left Medical Street. After he left, he studied his surroundings to make sure that he was not being followed. Then, he called a cab to Common Clinic. At Common Clinic.

Ronn was there.

He was talking to May in the clinic.

James walked in.

Both of them stood up immediately and said simultaneously, "James."

James waved a hand and sat down before saying, "Have you found out who was trying to kill me this morning?"

Ronn nodded. "I've got all the information."

"Tell me."

Ronn said, "These people arrived in Cansington eight days ago. They're mercenaries from the border of the Southern Plains. They're part of the Purgatory Army."

"Oh, the Purgatory Army?"

James narrowed his eyes.

Having been at the Southern Plains for 10 years, he was familiar with the Purgatory Army.

The Purgatory Army was a band of mercenaries at the border of the Southern Plains. They were impressive, being one of the top mercenary bands in the whole world. However, he did not know who led the army.

"Did you manage to replace out who their leader is?"

Ronn shook his head. "We haven't managed to discover that yet. However, I managed to replace out that someone in the Purgatory Army has made contact with Jonathan Harris."

"It is him after all."

James' expression darkened.

Jonathan was known as the Doctor King, apparently able to cure patients even if they were an inch from death. He was the president of the National Doctor's Association of Geosenge.

At the very least, James could now ascertain that Jonathan was the Doctor King Willy had mentioned. He was also the mastermind of the battle of Mount Thunder Pass.

Then again, who was the real mastermind behind Jonathan?

James could not even begin to guess.

Ronn said, "Jonathan's leading Universal Hospital at the medical conference."

James asked, "Have you investigated everything about Universal Hospital?"

"Yes." Ronn nodded. "The registrar of Universal Hospital is someone named Lucas Hamilton. He's a very mysterious person. Fifty years ago, he was known as the God of Medicine. Rumor has it he's a genius with medicine and could perform miracles."

"Lucas Hamilton?"

James frowned.

Who was this Lucas Hamilton?

Ronn continued, "So far we haven't gotten any dirt on Lucas yet, but our intelligence tells us that after the Emperor appeared in Cansington, he has had close contact with Lucas." James sighed.

Since the Emperor had been in contact with Lucas, one could hypothesize that he had something to do with the battle on Mount Thunder Pass.

Ronn asked, "What should we do now? Should we capture the Purgatory Army?"

James waved a hand. "Don't be rash. I want to see what they will do at the medical conference."

"Yes, sir."

Ronn nodded.

James considered it before saying, "Watch Lucas, Jonathan, the Emperor, and the other VIPS from the Capital. I want to know every move they make."

"Yes, sir."

James waved a hand. "Alright, that's all. You're free to go."

Ronn turned and left.

Only after he left did May ask, "James, is something happening?"

James rubbed his chin, thinking about it. "I can't figure out what they're playing at either. They had the chance to finish me off this morning, but they didn't. They just used Thea to blackmail me. It seemed like all they wanted was for me to not attend the medical conference."

He was thinking about what the mastermind's true purpose was.

Jonathan could be behind all of it, and maybe the Emperor was the true mastermind. It was all very confusing.
