Steve was thrilled. He could no longer suppress the smile that was plastered on his face. He took the opportunity and said, “Young Master Zion, the most crucial point in this plan is to look for a person who is reliable yet has a great ability to help you kidnap Wendy, and in the meantime, he can finish Jasper off too.
“And I happen to know such a person.”
Mark said excitedly, “Great. Indeed even the gods are helping me out. Hurry, go summon this person over here. Remember, the guy must be a reliable one”
…
At Brac County General Hospital.
“Where’s Cathy’s family?” a nurse shouted out loud into the hall that was filled with people.
A man, who was not even 180cm in height, stepped over. He had a physique that was not bulky but still emanated a sharp cold aura.
“I’m her younger brother,” said Julian to the nurse.
The nurse sighed and stuffed a pile of bills into Julian’s hand, saying, “These are Cathy’s bills for this week. Right now, the account is stating that you haven’t paid for the bills. Hurry and go collect the funds.”
After the nurse left, Julian stared at the big stack of bills in his hand. His stern face revealed sorrow and torment.
Ever since his sister was diagnosed with leukemia, the siblings had used up their entire savings. The prize money he previously won from martial arts tournaments and the money earned through his performances all these years was way too trivial in amount when dealing with leukemia.
Julian gritted his teeth and came to the ward upstairs. A lady with a fragile look on her face was sitting on the hospital bed. It was his elder sister, Cathy.
“You should take a good rest, Sis. In the afternoon, you’re going for dialysis,” said Julian.
Cathy sighed and said, “Jul, we don’t have any money already, right?”
