"Jordan? Are you all right?" Lola held and shook her elder brother's arm with her full strength.
Jordan said nothing. Harry, observing the whole scene, turned to Lucien and said, "Lucien, Jordan is my elder brother, but you treated him with the strongest medicine possible. We have nothing to talk about now."
Harry stood up and gracefully walked to Lola.
Lucien looked at Harry, who even in such dire circumstances was calm and cool. He unconsciously made a decision.
"First, leave from here," he said.
The people from Blood Sacrifice retreated. Jordan was taken back to his room and the doctor was asked to awaken Jordan.
The doctor gave Jordan an injection to clear out the toxins. He gradually gained consciousness.
"Jordan?" Lola tentatively called him out when she noticed that he was regaining consciousness.
Jordan shook his dizzy head slightly. He looked around and saw his anxious sister. "Lola." he acknowledged in a faint voice.
Lola was happy to see that Jordan was recovering. She went to sit near him. "What happened to you, brother?" she asked. Seeing Jordan unconscious had scared Lola.
Jordan saw Harry seated on the sofa and was reminded of the things that had happened the day before.
As soon as he had entered the room, he had felt that something was wrong. Deciding to go back home, he had turned his back and headed for the door.
Suddenly three or four men had come out from under the bed. They had weapons in their hands. One of them saw him opening the door and shot him.
Seeing Jordan awake, Harry nodded at him. "Lucien would try to hurt us. We must do something before he does that," he said. Jordan gravely nodded.
Though Jordan knew nothing about what had happened later, he knew that Harry was able to help him leave Blood Sacrifice. Either he was forced to leave or something had gone wrong with the negotiations.
Hearing Harry's words, Jordan guessed that he had been forced to leave.
"Why did they restrain my elder brother?" Lola curiously asked Harry while walking to him.
Harry held her hands, "For two reasons. First, they know that you have the old pocket watch. And second, your elder brother is a military officer. Lucien's men are mainly criminals." So, Harry had done this because of both the old pocket watch and the knowledge that Jordan had taken people to create trouble in his ground.
Lola was a little confused. "And what about Joey?" She nodded and asked Harry.
Harry looked at her unhappily. "Why are you so curious about him?" he asked. She had dared to look at Joey for more than three seconds just now!
She didn't know what to say. Looking at him innocently, she said, "You said that he was your assistant but was powerful here. Won't you feel curious if you were me?"
He was still unhappy despite the fact that she was just curious. "Joey was the son of the boss of Soul Killer. When I had visited Mando Bay before, he left with me. He wouldn't have come back if nothing had happened to you," he explained.
So, in the final analysis, Joey had come back to Soul Killer for Lola. From now on, he had lost an assistant.
"For me?" Lola pointed at her nose with surprise. The root cause for all the things that he had done was Harry.
"Why had he decided to leave Mando Bay at that time?" Lola asked.
"It turns out that this is the identity of Joey." Lola thought. "And what had Harry done to make Joey leave with him and become his assistant willingly?"
Harry reflected that Lola had too many questions about other men.
"At that time he was being chased by Blood Sacrifice. I had rescued him accidentally. Also, he didn't want to stay in this evil place any longer." Remembering the moment at that time, Harry realized that had it not been for that one shot, which stopped the bullet flying towards Joey's heart, he would have been dead.
The room was silent after Harry told them the truth.
Breaking the silence, Jordan asked, "When can we set out?" He leaned against the head of the bed. His head was totally clear now.
