Still, countless viewers felt a chill run down their spines after checking the production records and seeing the tiny hidden taint needles inside the healing metal.
Everyone soon realized how vicious the underlying plot truly was.
If Black Rick had never uncovered this secret, all beastmen who used those healing supplies would have fallen victim to the deadly scheme one after another.
Many also thought that if other clans faced such harm, they might strike back with even more ruthless tactics.
[No matter what wrongs they committed, the Grayson family ought to be judged by the Void Star judicial system. It is never Black Rick’s place to execute such harsh punishment.]
Such opinions were quickly buried under endless live-stream comments, for the viewership was far too massive for any single voice to stand out.
Gillian reached out and turned off the display screen mounted on the treatment room wall.
She fell into a brief moment of silence.
On the screen, she had watched Merrick board the Griffin Warship and vanish over the skyline of Goldspine City before the footage cut off completely.
He had eradicated such a powerful, influential clan in such a decisive and thorough way.
She wondered if he had no fear of facing retaliation from the hidden forces backing the Grayson family. “Captain Sterling, do you feel afraid of Black Rick?”
A beastman soldier receiving treatment shifted his gaze and looked straight at Gillian with a sincere tone. Gillian sped up her work to clear all traces of the taint from his wounds, then spoke softly to remind him of daily care rules. “Keep the wound away from water, and it will heal soon enough.”
“Captain Sterling, you…” The soldier hesitated and held back his words.
Gillian tidied up all medical supplies before answering his question calmly, with sincere ease showing in her eyes.
“I feel no fear at all. All he does is for the sake of the 9th Legion. He is sending a clear warning to everyone that anyone who dares to plot against the legion must pay with their own lives.”

Compared with the tragic collapse of the 9th Legion in her previous life, the Grayson family fully deserved all the punishment they received.
“You have no idea how generous and reliable Black Rick truly is. He never lets any of us suffer shortages of food, supplies, or daily necessities. He also creates chances for us to upgrade our beast crystal ranks.
“If only the Wasteland City were free of the taint, we could live self-sufficient lives. We even hope to seize full control of the Outer Planet and hand the whole territory over for him to rule.”
Was that okay to share the secret with her?
The soldier spoke with genuine pride and admiration for Merrick.
Gillian could easily tell how deep his admiration ran.
“It seems all of you hold him in high regard.”
“That goes without saying. If you were not already married, we would definitely try our best to match you up with him.”
Gillian let out a soft laugh. “Do you really think someone like me is worthy enough to stand beside your commander?”
The soldier scratched his head and flushed slightly in embarrassment. You are far too outstanding in every way. You are more than worthy.”
He did not stay for further conversation and left the treatment room shortly after.
Tristan lowered his gaze and rested his head lazily on the chair. He never expected Lucian to join forces with Merrick to destroy the Grayson family.
Though this bold move successfully intimidated all major forces within Elemental Cities, it also made countless noble beast clans view them as enemies.
Tristan worried that few clans would choose to cooperate with them in trade afterward, which would bring huge trouble to the supply of daily resources in the Wasteland City.
Gillian was about to call in the next patient when a new message popped up from Merrick’s wrist terminal.
“Gillian, I have settled all outstanding scores today. I will head back home early tomorrow morning.”
“Understood.”
After sending her reply, Gillian took out three small beast crystals and placed them in front of Tristan. “Here are your daily food expenses for today.”
The fluffy fox quietly pulled the tiny crystals close and tucked them safely beside himself.
He was currently on break with no steady income, so he planned to stay patient and slowly rely on Gillian’s support for the time being.

The moment Gillian finished her daily work, Sylas was already waiting for her outside beside a grip-buggy
“What brings you here?”
Gillian stared at him in confusion, wondering if he had come to offer her a ride or deliver some important
news.
“Captain Sterling, I will take charge of picking you up and dropping you off from now on. This is a direct order from Black Rick.”
Gillian did not turn down this arrangement. She well knew Merrick had made countless enemies over the years, so it was only natural for him to arrange extra guards to keep her safe.
The fluffy fox beside her hopped onto the vehicle without the slightest hesitation.
“Thank you.”
