Kelvin had known that Cheyenne was bold, but he never expected her to openly challenge TWILIGHT head-on. At this moment, he truly felt that Cheyenne was incredibly beautiful, with her silver hair shining brightly in the darkness, akin to a star in the night sky. Like the countless stars, she was radiant.
After witnessing so many bloody and dark scenes, an ordinary woman would have been scared witless. But Cheyenne remained calm and stood up to speak. She truly lived up to his expectations.
In the past, he was the one who couldn't recognize her worth, mistaking her for a good-for-nothing and neglecting her for so many years.
Sensing the atmosphere in the hall becoming tense and oppressive, Kelvin was afraid that Cheyenne's shining presence would attract unwanted attention. So, he stood up as well, reached out, and embraced Cheyenne's shoulder, pulling her into his arms. In silence, he declared his dominance.
His tall and imposing figure blocked many people's lecherous gazes. His eyes gazed at the person on the stage, and Kelvin's lips parted, his voice filled with magnetism.
"Sorry, my girlfriend was just too worried about my illness and lost her temper for a moment."
Cheyenne quickly realized that he was helping her. After regaining her composure, she explained, "It's like this, my boyfriend has a rare disease and needs fresh human blood as a catalyst. Ahem... I was just too anxious."
Kelvin felt a moment of joy when she introduced him as her "boyfriend." But as he heard the second half of her statement, his handsome face darkened. What kind of bizarre disease was she talking about? Couldn't she come up with a better excuse?
Even he felt guilty just listening to it. Would these people believe them?
To appear more convincing as a "sick" person, he deliberately suppressed his aura, becoming a gentle and weak beautiful man who relied on his wife.
So, this was the ingredient they needed!
Fresh human blood?
This was truly an unheard-of prescription...
Jonathan's eyes misted over, his true emotions now hidden behind his disheveled grey hair. How did Cheyenne and Mr. Foley end up here?
These two idiots should have stayed out of TWILIGHT if they wanted to leave unscathed. With their interference, the suspicion might have already begun.
He was already in his sixties this year and should have retired two years ago. It was just that Cheyenne had always refused to work at the hospital.
He was worried that Eddie's gentle personality would make it difficult for him to control the group of old folks working for him, so he reluctantly served as the director for another two years.
He could die, but Cheyenne couldn't.
Jonathan used his gaze to signal Cheyenne to leave quickly, but she didn't budge.
The man on the stage, his face behind the mask, grew serious. He seemed reluctant to make this deal. "Dear guests, I'm sorry... we do have living people here, right above your heads."
Kelvin didn't even bother to look up, his gaze fixed on the man. They were mutually testing each other.
"What if we only want him? I'll pay ten million! I only need a little blood, it won't affect your executions."
Ten million!
Just for some blood, it seemed like a guaranteed profitable deal.
Even if a healthy adult male sold all their organs, it would only be worth two or three million.
Kelvin was certainly generous.
The man in black hesitated for a moment, and a warning came from above. He rejected Kelvin's offer.
"Sorry, sir..."
"What about twenty million? I really need this blood..."
Kelvin raised his offer to twenty million.
The whole room fell silent, everyone holding their breath, waiting for the judgment from the man in black.
Time passed slowly, and it was evident that the judge was tempted, but he hesitated.
Suddenly, another man in black walked out from behind the stage curtain. It was unclear what he said to the judge's ear.
After the judge listened, he rejected Kelvin's twenty million and apologized, saying that Jonathan had been reserved by someone else and couldn't be executed for now.
