Chapter 138 Female Elite
As Stephanie was chatting with Lana and Ruby, Caspian sneakily went to settle any outstanding payments for Lana and Elias.
He wanted the injured folks to relax and continue to recuperate in peace.
He understood that Lana’s family had bled themselves dry in order to pay for her stay at the hospital, so he took out 50 thousand dollars in cash as a gift for them.
He then returned to Lana’s ward and gave half of the money to Ruby.
Ruby had naturally refused the money but eventually accepted it after multiple attempts of convincing.
His gift of money was actually very much needed for Ruby and her family.
She and her daughter were immensely grateful for his generosity.
Caspian wanted to give them the entire sum but was worried they might feel uncomfortable about receiving such a huge amount.
After he left the room, he decided to give the rest of the money to Stephanie.
It was not Stephanie’s first rodeo with Caspian, and she really needed the money as well, so she gratefully accepted his aid.
They both then returned to Elias‘ ward to keep him company.
At 4:00 pm, Caspian finally received a call from Sylvia.
He excused himself from the room before picking up the call.
“Caspian, all 30 elites and a military doctor have arrived at Southlake City,” reported Sylvia.
“Who’s the good doctor?” asked Caspian.
“It is none other than Avon Long.”
He nodded his head with satisfaction as Avon was second to none when it came to medical
expertise.
His skills were considered divine, and his efforts in the war in South Aridlands were legendary. All sorts of grievous injuries seen on the battlefield were mere child’s play in front of Avon. Lana’s injuries would be a piece of cake for him.
“Caspian, your orders?” asked Sylvia.
The investigative team was still gathering information about all the evil–doers active within Southlake City.

‘Bring Avon to the Southlake Hospital. And as for the elites, prepare some lodging in an appropriate hotel. I’ll send them for a mission later,” instructed Caspian.
“Yes, sir. Caspian, I’ve something I’d like to personally report about.”
“Just speak your mind.”
‘Among the 30 elites dispatched, one of them is a woman. I’ve absolutely no idea what Julian was thinking when sending her in.”
Generally speaking, a dispatched elite troop usually consisted of only male combatants as it was the more convenient option in all aspects, such as accommodation and food.
A single female combatant alone would hinder the team with specialized requests and separate accommodation.
“Who is it?” asked Caspian.
“It’s Macy Osborne,” answered Sylvia.
Caspian was taken aback when he heard that because he had long disliked Macy.
Macy Osborne was a junior to Sylvia by service time, and both her appearance and abilities were highly regarded by everyone.
Caspian figured that she might even be stronger than Sylvia.
Previously, in a tournament, Macy had defeated all of her challengers, including the fellow men who were deployed alongside her to Southlake City right now.
“That’s what I’m trying to figure out as well, Caspian. I’ve been trying to get in contact with Julian ever since.”
Even Sylvia sounded like she was utterly done with life as they talked about the troublesome soldier.
“I understand. I’ll bring Avon to the hospital soon.”
