Talen had perford first aid acupressure on Yang Dao's wound to stop the bleeding. Victor drove the car, with Lin holding the boy in her embrace. Kaya was taking care of the assailant, who died. It took them fifteen minutes to reach the military zone hospital.
Talen had already called ahead so that a team stays ready to attend to the boy as soon as they arrive. Victor parked the car and two soldiers ca forward. They opened the rear door and carefully carried the unconscious boy out. They placed him on the stretcher and pushed him inside the building.
The doctor was an old man, his actions all displayed his experience. He acted as soon as the two soldiers pushed the stretcher inside the hospital building. He placed one of his hands on Yang Dao's wrist as he walked along. His eyes lingered on the wound. He said, "Special Forces?"
Victor and Lin were following them and nodded. The doctor saw their actions from the corner of his eyes and said, "The wound is not fatal, but the fatal thing is the burst blood vessels. How was he wounded like this?"
Lin replied, "A vibranium flying knife shot from a sleeve held knife gun." her voice was solemn. She blad herself for missing it.
The doctor shook his head. "The projectile was obstructed?"
Lin nodded as she replied, "Nanoparticle & ballistic glass barrier."
The doctor raised his eyebrows in shock. Nanoparticles could stop almost anything but if the knife still got through, it ans that the distance between the knife was fired at point-blank. The doctor said, "This child is fortunate. If that projectile was to hit him directly, his chest plate would have shattered. Endangering his life. Call his guardians, we need to operate to close the wound and put him under observation."
With that said, the doctor walked inside the ergency room with the stretcher. Victor and Lin glanced at each other. They did not have any guts to call the general. Soon they heard a voice, "Where is the young master?"
The chill carried in the voice made them shiver. Victor turned around and saw Laohu Bai standing behind him with a cold face and a blank gaze. He replied with a stutter, "Inside the operation room."
Laohu Bai asked, "Who is operating?" her voice was as if she was talking to corpses.
Lin replied, "Doctor Stephen."
Laohu Bai nodded. She said, "You failed the mission, for the sake of you being my team, I give you a chance."
Victor and Lin saluted and replied with a determined gaze. Laohu Bai said, "Torture that assailant to where he begs for death, extract everything from him. kill all the remaining rcs. I want to find out who is the predator. If you die accomplishing this, I will arrange for your families, and offer a flower on your graves. You are dismissed."
Her words were heartless. She stood holding her hands behind her back, at this mont they were red with the blood pouring out of them. She gripped it so tight that the nails dug into the skin. Victor and Lin knew their fault. They underestimated the enemy. That is why Yang Dao was hurt. They did not say another word and left.
Lin turned back to cast a glance at the ergency door, then with a firm resolve in her eyes, she left. She was indebted to Yang Dao for his help in her breakthrough the last ti. She wanted to avenge him at all costs. Victor touched her shoulder and the two people left. They t with Kaya and Talen, who were dealing with the assailant.
The two had just left when Atsuji Kuroga and Ryu Jinshi descended into a derelict alley a few ters away from the hospital. Feng Yun landed a few seconds later. They all walked toward the hospital without exchanging even a glance, let alone a greeting. They all had a calm expression.
Feng Yun walked ahead. A strange heat was radiating from her. It was her innate anger. If not for her control, this place would have vaporized already. These four were the strongest Elentalists in this world. Laohu Bai saw the three of them arrived and explained the situation to them. Atsuji Kuroga said, "Yun, go complete the formalities."
Feng Yun took a deep breath and nodded. She left to complete the formalities. Atsuji said, "Ryu, visit the rcenary headquarters. Erase the one who doesn't know restraint. I cannot do anything big at this mont but I will make the Crypto governnt pay for not understanding the first ti. They did wrong this ti."
His voice was cold and calm. The reason he could not make any big moves on the surface was because of the early sanctions and moves taken by the allied forces. Atsuji was forced to stay silent for a ti. Otherwise, if he burned the bridges with the crypto nation. It will be bad and may lead to unnecessary war.
War was a death hole. He did not want to see innocents die. Ryu Jinshi nodded and said, "I will leave after the young master wakes up."
Laohu Bai said, "It is all because I arranged for my team to protect him. They were still weak, this should not have overlooked by ."
At this mont Feng Yun ca back, and she said, "Your team is fine. This mistake could have been done by anyone. Who would expect the rcs to send a 'Prototype' among humans? You must have sent them away on a redemption task. That is enough. Also, eldest, calm down, Young Master will handle it by himself. Your actions speak for a country. That ans you will influence a lot of innocent people if you did anything. That is not good."
She turned towards Ryu Jinshi and said, "Kill every rcenary in Crypto nation. They all are arrogant and sinners. It is ti they walk down the bridge of the afterlife. The king of the underworld awaits them."
The three people nodded and fell silent. Thinking about the next actions they will take. After a few minutes, the operation room was flung open and an old doctor walked out wearing a green gown over his body. He gazed around and found neither Victor nor Lin. Before he could ask anything.
Feng Yun stood up and asked, "How is my young master?"
Stephen gazed at her for a mont and then asked, "Are you the guardian of that child?"
Feng Yun nodded. The doctor replied, "He is out of danger now. The body is responding to the treatnt as well. I would suggest that he is kept under observation for 72 hours. His blood vessels were damaged, and if not for the first aid, exercised on him. Things would have been trickier. So making sure that nothing else goes wrong, I recomnd the observation unit."
Feng Yun nodded and said, "I understand. We shall do as you say, doctor." her tone was kind and grateful. She bent down to him as a thank you. the rest also stood up and bowed to the doctor. Stephen was overwheld. Just when he was about to say sothing he heard Atsuji Kuroga speak, "Thank you for your hard work."
Stephen nodded and left after passing so instructions. Ryu asked, "Is sothing wrong?"
Atsuji Kuroga said, "You are to stay here 24*7 until the young master wakes up."
Ryu Jinshi nodded. Soon the nursing staff pushed out a stretcher with Yang Dao on it. He looked as if he was sleeping, but a drip of saline was visibly lodged in his right arm. The four people were distressed and could only watch the staff pushing yang Dao to the private ward Feng Yun reserved for her.
This was a military hospital and such wards were reserved for the highest rank officers. Yang Dao was allowed a room because of Laohu Bai. She was a general and the boy himself was a special recruit. This was a testant to his value, which was estimated very high by the nation.
Yang Dao woke up four hours after the operation. As he opened his eyes, in front of him was a white ceiling. The fragrance of dicines was distinguishable. He turned his head sideways and saw Feng Yun sitting beside him on a couch. Her eyes were closed, ditating. He tried to raise his hand but felt a tingling sensation in his chest.
His mouth was parched. Just when he was about to raise his hand again, a soft palm covered it. Feng Yun woke up from her ditation and said, "I am here, don't move. The wound is still tender, it will ache. What do you want?"
Yang Dao mouthed a word, and Feng Yun nodded. She walked to the side table and picked up a spoon, then held a glass of water in her hand and fed it to the boy with spoons. She did it so that the boy doesn't have to move. After the hydration, Yang Dao said, "Can you inform the principal about the incident? Also the blazer, I wore was a prize, the certificate is inside the car. Yeah, sister Yun, they broke my car."
With that last sentence, Yang Dao almost cried. While Feng Yun held her forehead in her palm. She had a smile on her lips but her eyes were flooded. She said, "It is repairable damage, young master. I will have it done before you go back ho."
The boy was trying to cover up the pain from her and the fear he experienced today. She on the other side was trying to cover the anxiety underneath her cover of calmness, as well.
