Chapter 247
Dustin decided that Dahlia must have had nothing better to do. He tossed his head, washed up, and opened the door to the medical center as usual.
As the door grated and groaned, a blood–soaked figure suddenly collapsed on the floor of the room. The injured man was dressed in white, which was drenched in blood. He carried a broken sword on his back and appeared to have fainted for some time.
Dustin approached the man to check him out, only to realize that it was Maximus Kane!
“I did not recall hurting him yesterday. Or did I?” Dustin rubbed his chin in confusion. Although Maximus, ranked sixth on The Hundred Immortals, was not exactly the cream of the crop, he was still one of the best in tiny Swinton. How did he get himself beaten up this badly?
“Consider yourself lucky.” Dustin mumbled and lifted Maximus into the medical center. After all, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to a dying man at the entrance of the medical center.
Maximus suffered from multiple external injuries, but those were simple wounds that could be treated with some bandages. However, he suffered huge damage to his nerves, including the energy in his core. Whoever did this to him wanted to cripple him for good. Thankfully, years of extensive martial arts practice resulted in a solid foundation that protected Maximus from being completely crippled by the attack. With Dustin’s medical
skills, he was confident to heal Maximus within a few weeks.
First, Dustin gave Maximus an injection, followed by feeding the patient some medicine. About half an hour later, Maximus finally regained consciousness as he slowly opened his eyes.
“Hey, you’re awake. How do you feel?” Dustin casually asked him.
“Did you save me?” Maximus was a little taken aback. Last night, he sustained severe injuries and found a
medical center on the street in between consciousness. Before he had a chance to knock on the door, he
blacked out at the entrance.
“Who else? Do you see anyone around?” Dustin was a tad speechless at the thoughtless question.
“Thank you.” Maximus struggled to get up and bow.
Dustin forced him back onto the bed and chided him, “That’s enough. Stop moving around when you’re badly
injured.”
“He’s on the brink of death, yet he is hung up on manners. What’s wrong with this dude?” Dustin wondered.
“You’re not bad at martial arts. So, how did you end up getting beaten up?” Dustin asked. Maximus clenched
his teeth as he struggled to open up. “It’s fine. Don’t tell me if you don’t feel like it. I’m not that curious either.”
“Wait …” Maximus took a deep breath and finally confessed, “What you said yesterday was right. I had three
“Oh, really? Did you meet a worthy opponent that fast?” Dustin was quite surprised to learn that his prediction came true after he dropped a casual mention of the flawed moves during the battle.
