"Sister, I'm begging you, she's your niece, please!"
"What niece? That bastard has nothing to do with me! Don't call me again!"
Click...
Watching the call being hung up, Awenasa clenched her teeth, tears swirling in her eyes. But she knew she had to stay strong.
Taking a deep breath, she dialed the phone again.
However, five minutes later, she knelt on the ground with a blank look, as if all the bones had been sucked out of her.
She called several of her siblings, but instead of help, she received only malicious curses and refusals.
They all had the ability to help her, but they didn't want to.
When they deceived her into giving up her inheritance, none of the promises were fulfilled.
If it weren't for this incident, she wouldn't care, because back then she had only given up her inheritance for her daughter's sake.
But now...
"Why... how could you all be so heartless!" her voice squeezed out through her clenched teeth. She continued to grit her teeth, tears swirling in her eyes. She looked at the disgusting name on her phone, squeezing the phone tightly in her hands.
Should she make the call? Yes, she should. She had to save her daughter!
Just then, a figure appeared around the corner. He lowered his head to look at the despairing Awenasa and squatted down gently.
"I'm here, trust me!" he whispered.
Awensa looked up and met the gaze of the face she had missed and resented for over five years. His face was still as young as ever, as if the five years had not changed him at all.
When she saw Jedrek's eyes, her usual strength finally gave way to weakness, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
However, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, sobbing silently, not letting herself cry out loud.
Jedrek gazed at the woman he loved, listening to her hoarse voice. In this moment, it was as if thunder roared in his mind.
She was still so strong, just like when they first met.
They met each other six years ago.
Jedrek encountered a siege from his enemies and after killing over three hundred of them, he was severely injured and fell into the river.
When he woke up, he came to this city, knowing that his enemies were still looking for him. He hid his identity and sought treatment for his wounds.
It was during that time that he met the young Awenasa.
She was gentle and beautiful, but also bold and passionate.
Despite his repeated refusals, she persisted. Later, she said it was love at first sight.
Having grown up in hardship and years of bloodshed, he had never experienced such warmth before, and he slowly fell for her.
After they got together, they spent a period of peaceful days.
But his enemies eventually found him, and one night he had to leave.
During the evacuation, he tortured a captive to find out that it was actually Awenasa's family who had betrayed him, which left him conflicted.
After successfully escaping, he never returned.
At this moment, he looked at Awenasa, who was trying to hide her weakness in front of him, and he knew she resented him.
He didn't know what to do. He wasn't good at expressing emotions, and at this moment, he felt an impulse to destroy the world.
Just then, Awenasa took a deep breath. She slowly stood up leaning against the wall, and said in a cold voice, "I won't trust you again. I'll find a way to get the money."
After speaking, she staggered a bit and turned to go downstairs.
Jedrek also slowly stood up, feeling a pent-up anger that he couldn't release, causing his body to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, he heard a sound and swiftly turned around. Indeed, a door in the distance was pushed open.
The five doctors from the Red Dragon Palace walked out in a line. Jedrek hurried over and asked anxiously, "How is she?"
But as soon as the group saw Jedrek, they all kneeled down. His face changed at this sight.
One of them said in a deep voice, "Red Dragon, the tumor in the princess's liver is not natural!"
Boom!
In an instant, the five kneeling doctors felt an overwhelming and terrifying killing intent!
The ground beneath Jedrek cracking inch by inch, spreading in all directions.
"Good, very good!"
If it's not natural, then it's man-made!
Jedrek's teeth were grinding, and his killing intent was released recklessly.
The five kneeling doctors on the ground turned pale and couldn't help but tremble under this killing intent.
However, at this moment, the pressure looming over them suddenly disappeared.
Jedrek closed his eyes to calm the killing intent in his heart, then opened them and said in a deep voice, "Stand up."
The five stood up, their faces pale, but they also emitted a strong killing intent.
The Red Dragon Palace belonged to the Red Dragon. Today, they empathized what the princess had gone through. They would rather die than endure such humiliation. At this moment, they wished they could torture the culprit who harmed the princess a thousand times over!
Jedrek was unusually calm, "Tell me specifically, what else can you tell?"
One person said, "From the surgical situation, it seems that within the past two years, the tumor on the princess's liver was induced by a drug. Your Majesty, I suspect someone is using the princess for experiments!"
As he spoke, the man trembled all over, his fists clenched tightly. The others were the same, all suppressing boundless anger.
Jedrek had already calmed down, but upon hearing this, he closed his eyes again.
His voice trembling, he asked, "If the liver transplant is done as soon as possible, how much impact will it have on my daughter's future life?"
Without hesitation, all five said in unison, "No impact!"
Phew...
He finally heard some good news and nodded gently.
Opening his eyes again, he turned to the five and said seriously, "Take my daughter to Base 9, and start the liver matching process. Take care of her. I'm counting on you."
With that, he bent slightly.
The five were shocked and kneeled down again with a loud thud, shouting in unison, "We belong to the Red Dragon Palace, we are willing to die for the Red Dragon!"
"Go ahead," Jedrek waved his hand.
"Alright."
After the five responded and stood up, one of them started contacting, while the others returned to the treatment room to prepare for the transfer.
Jedrek, on the other hand, took one last look at the sleeping Mirte through the glass. He gritted his teeth and left.
Next, he had to find a compatible liver within a week. But before that, he had to settle a score.
After getting out and going downstairs, he hailed a cab.
Arriving at the Eighth Kindergarten in Mid Capital City, he saw nothing outside the kindergarten's gate. The whole street in front of the gate was empty, devoid of pedestrians or vehicles.
With a cold look in his eyes, he walked forward. At this moment, from the shadows of the surrounding walls, from the dense trees, from the stairwell...
Five people dressed in black with black crow masks emerged. They glanced at Jedrek then disappeared again in the next moment.
Shadow Assassins, the secret guards of the Red Dragon Palace.
Five of them could destroy a city, a hundred could destroy a country.
He didn't order the Shadow Assassins to act. They were only responsible for clearing obstacles.
Today, he wasn't the Red Dragon. He didn't want to slaughter cities and destroy countries.
Today, he was just a father seeking justice for his daughter!
