The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1500

"I pulled the hospital's surgical logs. This was an unrecorded, emergency addition."

"Where are they?"

The reality was that the surgery had already been completed. They were just dragging out the final sutures. Julian Grant had deliberately prolonged the procedure, claiming 'unexpected complications,' entirely to buy time.

He was stalling for the extraction team.

Julian's eyes flickered.

He subtly shifted his gaze toward the back of the room.

Toward the hysterical female nurse!

Dane moved with terrifying speed, lunging across the room and grabbing the nurse by the throat.

The 'nurse' instantly countered with lethal force, and the two clashed in a blur of violence.

This operative was incredibly skilled, employing erratic, unpredictable strikes. In a flash of silver, a surgical scalpel sliced across the back of Dane's hand, drawing blood.

Simultaneously, the other 'medical staff' in the room dropped their act and drew concealed weapons.

Silas reacted instantly, engaging the fake doctors in a brutal firefight within the confined space of the OR.

In the chaos, Julian Grant tried to slip out the back doors, only to be grabbed by one of his own assisting physicians.

"Not so fast, Doctor."

The physician pressed a bloodied scalpel directly against Julian's carotid artery.

The man who had been assisting him moments ago was suddenly a Syndicate sleeper agent.

Julian froze in terror.

He was just an arrogant plastic surgeon. Against a trained killer, he had absolutely zero chance of fighting back.

The scalpel in his hand felt utterly useless compared to the lethal precision of the man holding him hostage.

Dane continued to exchange savage blows with the 'nurse'.

It was Quinton Graves in disguise.

While Tycho and Felicity had swapped outfits on the roof, Quinton had altered his own appearance down here.

His disguise was flawless. When he had screamed at them earlier, even the vocal pitch was a perfect auditory match for a terrified woman.

The Daybreak Syndicate's operatives were horrifyingly versatile.

"Where is Claire?" Dane roared, throwing a devastating punch.

If Quinton was hiding in this room, Claire had to be close.
